[More Cecil-goodness, or something. :P]

Sandra continued up the path to the cliffs of Onett, wondering who could've caused that common. She was soon at the northern cliff. Sandra then caught her first site of the meteorite that fell on the clifftop, the very same one Buzz Buzz came from. She studied it for a second, and put her hand near it. It was still heated to an extent, despite being there for some time now.

[Yeah, I have it in my personal opinion that the meteorite never did fully 'cool off' from it's impact at the hilltop.]

"Odd." Sandra chirped, not knowing what to do now. There was no sign of unfrozen life at the cliff, though. Sandra did however find the spot were the rock had fallen to the oceans below, as there were still some ripples in the water. Sandra caught notice of some paths along the cliffside that she didn't notice before, and where there was a ladder going to one of them. She looked over towards the hills behind the Minch house, and found that the ladder was connected to that hill, and jumped across to the hills behind the Minch house, wondering what was down that ladder.

[Oh and yes quick note, since 'Minch' gets mentioned. There's only a single cameo of Pokey or any member of the Minch family in the entire IF. :P]

Since the world was frozen, she might as well get a small headstart of some of the changes in her world within the last 10 years.

[Yeah, the mysteries don't solve themselves, Sandra. :P]

At the bottom of the ladder, the paths along the cliffside were pretty straight forward and sturdy looking. Good. At least she wouldn't have to worry about falling off and into the sea below. She looked over again at the water, and then a thought suddenly mentally smacked her upside the head.

[Mentally smacking yourself upside the head might give you Brainshock, don't do that. :(]

The water doesn't seem frozen like everything else is. Of course, it could just be my not knowing time anomolies very well. Not important, at the moment anyways.

[And to the plot point Ffish unintentionally referenced in his first post. One thing that was going to get revealed outright at some point in Frozen was that water and anything IN the water would remain unfrozen. The time-beam can't pierce the surface of the water.]

She walked along, soon finding a small opening in the cliff side which looked it, it would lead to somewhere under the meteorite. As she walked in, she didn't notice some of the fish flopping in and out of the water like normal, appearantly unaffected by the time freeze...

[Again, reliterated. Anything underwater is unaffected by the time beam. And yes, the beam does have an official name, but it's not been revealed as of this point in the story, and I don't want to spoil too many things ahead of time, folks. :P]

****

[Now, without further ado... >_>]

Back in Twoson, another gate materialized within the Twoson forests where Sandra was about an hour ago. The gate was a lot bigger though than the one Sandra went through, about 12 feet to be exact.

[Oh just to clarify: Sandra's about 5'10" to 6' in Frozen. Yes, she's a tall one. However I also have always considered Paula to be equally tall, since both are 'twins' in Frozen. :P]

As the gate stabilized, a deafening roar was heard, and then HE stepped out of it. He was a large 11 foot creature that had the face of a blue-eyed troll, along with white hair and beard hair, wore an opened blue overcoat studded with spikes over the back, a large center-studded crown on his head, had green skin, golden boots, and among the most surprising of features, he had a another face, a sinister looking one, in the MIDDLE of his stomach.

[He's the troll equalvalent of Two-Face! XD]

Nebiroth stared around at his surroundings. This had to be the world his master's slayer had been trying to reach since his defeat. Nebiroth had been a lot smarter than the other underlings of Sardius, and staged his death at Sandra's hands during the battle almost 1 year ago.

[Uh ohes. :o]

He had been quietly trailing the pink-haired girl since she destroyed his master. He liked his master! He allowed Nebiroth to destroy whatever he wanted, and eat whatever he wanted. He was also mad at another dilliema that the cursed Pink-haired monster caused. She had killed his best friend Austorouto, and taken his cape, and she... she wanted to use the material for a wedding dress!

[Hey, what's wrong with wanting to get married someday? :P]

Pitiful humans. Nebiroth thought to himself. Nebiroth was primitive in his vocal speech, but he possessed the mind of a tactical genius. Only problem was because of his primitive tounge, only Nebiroth himself could take advantage of his own cunning.

[Eh, I kinda disprove my own words here a lot later on, but more on that THEN.]

His attacks in comparison with Sandra's were also not much to awe at: a triple stacked beam that was about as big as he was. Sure it was powerful, but it was somewhat slow and easy to dodge if prepared, as well as the fire his other face on his stomach could breathe like a trailing flamethrower. Powerful, but easy to avoid. He didn't think he'd have much chance against that Pink haired thing, but he might as well at least try to avenge his master and Austorouto while he still could.

[Eh, at least Nebiroth's not a coward. Even for an 11-foot monster, it takes guts to confront an AC like Sandra, with prior knowledge of what she can do. :P]

Roaring out "Nebiroth destroy Pink brat!" in his primative tounge, he dreadfully stomped his way out into the streets of Twoson. He took note of the Tour Guide of Twoson, frozen into position by the time freeze. "Nebiroth EAT!!" the monster shouted happy, and open his big mouth to chomp the tour guide, but her being frozen in time foiled the creatures plans for lunch. *CRACK!* Nebiroth whimpered as he realized the frozen tour guide was harder than titanium and totally unfased by his bite, as one of his teeth were now loose from the failed attempt to eat her.

[LAWL. Again reliterating the point that frozen people are "invulnerable" to most conventional damage. Even the towering and monsterous Nebiroth, likely more than twice the tour guide's size, hurts HIMSELF trying to eat her. XD]

"This insane!! People here are made of rock!" he growled half primatively, and stomped down the street angrily, leaving minor tremors in his anger induced marches. Nebiroth noticed the elderly woman, Mr. T-look-a-like, and the taxi cab in the middle of the streets, and noticed they also weren't moving like the tour guide. He cautiously walked up to the elderly woman, and half attempted a bite on her. No effect. She was also as hard as titanium, or so it seemed. Nebiroth decided to not even chance loosing his already loose tooth on the Mr. T-look-a-like, and stomped ahead.

[I pity da' foo' who tries to chomp Mr. T!]

"Nebiroth MAD! Whole world seems frozen!! No eat!! Mad!!" he stomped up and down like a child with a temper tantrum.

[You can see maturity comes naturally to our friend Nebiroth... :P Actually in fairness, this is an uncommon emotion for him to be so angry. >.>]

Of course, being a LOT bigger than most children, he shook the ground considerably. He then noticed something on the ground nearby were some concrete had been blown out. Shrapnel of a rocket-propelled grenade lay on the ground. Nebiroth picked the shrapnel up, and held it up to his nose, and smelled it, and then opened his mouth and tossed it into it, eating the sharpnel.

[Yeah, a sense of acknowledging ZXD's last post and of the RPG blast that ended up in Twoson. And Nebiroth has a strong stomach, so RPG shrapnel doesn't bother him in the slighest. :P]

"Hmm... not bad! *burp*" Nebiroth said. Hey, shrapnel was better than going hungry, he would say. He decided to continue following the street, until he came at an intersection at the Polestar preschool, taking note every person in his path was frozen into place.

[Yeah, your 'tactial' mind should take in all that information, else you'll starve yourself of knowledge as well as real food, Nebi. :P]

Something in his mind told him going towards Threed might get him more food, so he slowly stomped his way down the road, and then within 2 more minutes, into the Two-Three tunnel.

[So yeah, instead of Sandra going to Threed and inevitably getting wrapped up in the Smidgen battle, Nebiroth sorta takes her place here.

Also, from here on out, I generally write both their actions in the same post, so the post size will understandibly increase to accomedate this, and thus the posts get much much bigger for me over the course of this IF. :P]

(Nebiroth is my other AC. He will be revealed more in later posts. Yes he is sorta a bad guy, but he's not working for the people with the time ray, and he's just as confused as everyone else)

[Oh yes, Nebiroth is a special type of AC, known as a "gamer AC", or an AC heavily based off a character from an existing series/franchise. In this case, he's from "Super Ghouls N' Ghosts", as the second to last boss in that game. Yes, THAT Nebiroth. >_>

Also: picture of Nebiroth here.]
