“Well, this has just gotten rather interesting,” DeMonStar spoke after he and the whelp Z-Mage finished pummeling the little creature that called himself “OzBat”.

“I have to admit, freak, I kinda liked using good ol’ fists to hurt my prey.” Z-Mage replied to the red-furred menace. “Let me see how a magic-enhanced kick would do to your..”

“Quiet, child. Did you not hear what that OzBat thing said?”

“Not much. Only that we’re not in Limbo, and we’re sure as hell not back in Khazan.”

“You catch on. This dimension is new. But did you hear what he said about us?”

“Something about my impressive stature and immense power, no doubt. I wasn’t really paying attention, being the most powerful mage in all Reality can do that to you.”

“If you would halt your bravado, he said that we’re fictional on this plane. Can you comprehend that meaning?”

“What? That we don’t exist?”

“No. We are as if someone wrote a book with us as characters, and here in this place we are the characters removed from the page. OzBat said that those who wrote us in to being here can also write us back to Limbo.”

“So, we avoid them while we trash the place. Easy enough.”

“I had in mind something more grand. In this place, the ones who wrote us are, in essence, our Creators, our Gods. Tell me, Z-Mage,” DeMonStar’s voice grew quiet as he spoke, “what would occur if we killed God?”

“Wow, heavy. I suppose we’d blink out of existence.”

“Perhaps. But, what if by destroying out creators, we’d take their place? What if we became Gods?”

Z-Mage’s eyes glowed at the prospect of becoming a God. No longer would he have to constantly affect Reality to prevent his premature death. No longer would he have to deal with constant waves of punked-up superheroes in his face. He’d become the supreme power of the Cosmos!

“Okay, you’ve got me interested. How do we find our Creators, anyway?”

“Simple. We find someone who knows our Creators and force them to give us their location. Afterwards..”

“Yes, come then! I’ve got Godhood to achieve!”

As Z-Mage ran off towards the inner offices of the CBR, DeMonStar silently planned. He knew that to allow that idiot Z-Mage to become a God would be extreme folly on his part, and that the wizard must be killed before the Creators were located. As for himself, he had to make sure that killing the Creator would ensure his own Godhood.

After all the years improving myself, pushing myself higher up the evolutionary scale, perhaps here I can achieve the peak. The most perfect being is a God, and maybe I will make my final evolution here…
