[ TT ] The most powerful spell ever cast backfires , sending the entire world into a sunless void . As scholars seek a solution before everyone freezes to death they find that something in the void is trying to stop them .

`` Every one is going to freakin freeze to death it's all my fault'', Ronnie said as his fist landed like a mallet on top of the desk next to him. 
 
 `` That desk is an antique and who in their right mind eats beans hours before a casting, Ronnie?'' 
 
 `` They were special beans, dude!'' 
 
 `` This is precisely why magic has no relationship with science. You mystic, tree humping lulu's tend to find ways to royally screw the pooch. And we good science folk have to indiscriminately fix them.'' 
 
 `` Chernobyl!'' 
 
 `` Ronnie that's low even for you.'' 
 
 `` Yep it's so damn low that my grandpa had to contain the area and keep a horde of hell zombies from devouring earth.'' 
 
 `` Impeccably inaccurate, as always I see.'' 
 
 `` Yeah, you lab coats decided to experiment on Black Ether. Created a freakin reactor and boom! Nice how you blamed it on the Russians and all.'' 
 
 `` Quite epic coming from you! Who sprouts a bean stalk from their bum blocking out the sun and casting the world into total darkness?!'' 
 
 `` How was I supposed to know man? They were from a reputable... 
 
 `` Please, I do n't want to even hear that word coming from your mouth. I do n't believe you can fathom it.'' 
 
 `` You wan na know what I fathom? Worts all over your skunky face!'' 
 
 `` Really? You resort to threats now?'' 
 
 `` Your face is a threat! You look like you were born from a testicle beast from the void of the Pluxor galaxy!'' 
 
 `` Oh, so you actually learned third grade astronomy. Good for you! I would threaten to inject you with a disease but I would feel sorry for the virus!'' 
 
 `` Wait why are we fightin?'' 
 
 `` Yes, something is clearly a miss, but what?'' 
 
 `` Hold on a sec I think we may have a...'' 
 
 `` Funny fight fight fight, ha aha hah'', a helium filled voice replied. 
 
 `` Dude, I think it's one of them! What you call the spectral species.'' 
 
 `` How can that be? You used a warding spell did you not?'' 
 
 `` Well yeah but... I do n't, I do n't know?'' 
 
 `` Not the time for an I do n't know, Ronnie.'' 
 
 `` Eat you all, eat you all! Yum yum, yum yum.'' 
 
 Suddenly it leaped from the dark corner of the lab into the light. It was no more than the size of a house cat with light gray skin, purple hair and a pot belly. 
 
 `` Honestly he does n't appear very intimidating; however, given the species we seemed to have introduced into our plane we can not afford to take any chances.'' 
 
 `` So, it's we now, huh?'' 
 
 `` I was there thus I'm responsible. And so is every one else even though they are not with us any longer.'' 
 
 The small creature slowly stepped forward and said `` I am emissary we eat you. Earth humans no more. We eat all. You only left.'' 
 
 `` Liar! We're five miles under the ground with the most powerful wards, made by the greatest sorcerer on Earth, me'' Ronnie replied. He raised his hand and extended all five fingers in the shape of a star. From the palm of Ronnie's hand a blue lightening bolt fired at the creature but it missed. 
 
 `` Ronnie! Wait you are going damage the equipment we need to finish the solar calculations. `` 
 
 `` Right, sorry. Little shit pissed me off.'' 
 
 The creature giggled and said'' Ha ha ha, now you die!'' 
 
 With that warning a pounding on the doors behind them sent vibrations through the entire room. It grew louder and what sounded like a beast snarling could be heard. It attempted to speak in what could only be described as faint whispers. 
 
 While Ronnie and Clyde were distracted the little gray creature bounced into the air and jumped on top of Clyde's back. 
 
 `` Awwwh! Get this thing off of me!'' 
 
 Quickly it stabbed repeatedly making little cuts on Clyde's back and lower neck. 
 
 `` Vientunis'', Ronnie shouted as a gust of wind blasted the monster across the room splattering him against a wall. 
 
 `` You hit the Flux Capacitor'', Clyde said as he passed out. 
 
 The blood of the creature appeared to be some form of acid. It's yellow hue melted the entire panel. 
 
 Ronnie ran towards Clyde and within moments the power went out; however, the sound of the beast on the other side of the door was no more. 
 
 `` It must have been an illusion. Fudge monkey's I hate the dark'', Ronnie said to himself,'' but all I have to do is create some light, heal Clyde and get him to fix the Capacitor. Yeah, that's what we'll do. Okay.'' 
 
 Ronnie spoke his words `` Luz Chiki''. From that moment an indigo orb appeared over his head and lit a path towards Clyde. Once he got close enough he began chanting `` Mortis no es, Mortis no es, Mortis no es. VIVIDUS HELIAMOS!'' 
 
 `` What's going on. He should of been up by now'', Ronnie replied,'' maybe I have to be closer still.'' 
 
 Soon as he stood above his dying friend the light orb vanished. `` Dammit I forgot it only lasts so long.'' 
 
 `` Luz Chiki'', he said once more but the light would not appear, `` Luz Chiki!'' 
 
 Finally the light orb appeared over his head like before. He heard a sound coming from behind him or possibly all around but he could n't tell. Then one by one, they sprang forth from the places his light did n't touch. 
 
 `` Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum yum...'' 
 
 `` Must be the universes way of paying me back.'' 
 
 What looked like dozens of creatures rushed Ronnie, tearing into his flesh with little daggers and razor sharp teeth to match. He belted out in agony as they tore at him and his friend Clyde. And as the last little devil jumped on his chest he said'' See, I tell you so... yum!''
