The Endless Story

[Delthion]

Before he could become President, he had to prove himself. He decided to do this by proving that Vulcan did indeed exist, so he went to Mercury.

[Ashleg]

"Hello, I am Mercury," said Mercury. "Why have you come?"

[Delthion]

"To find the planet Vulcan," said Ozymandias. "I didn't know planets could speak!"

[Ashleg]

"And I didn't know that you were so stupid," said Mercury. "Do you need the MAP OF VULCAN? The only beings who can find Vulcan must first acquire the MAP. To acquire the MAP, one must complete FIVE CHALLENGES for me, Mercury. Are you up to the task, Ozymandias?"

[Delthion]

"If Hercules could complete 12, then I can complete five!" said Ozymandias indignantly.

[Ashleg]

"That is what they all say," boomed Mercury. "And yet no one has the MAP to date."

[Delthion]

"Well then," Ozymandias said quietly for dramatic effect. "That is about to change."

[Ashleg]

"Is it?" said Mercury, leaning closer in its orbit.
"Your first task is to go to Venus and breathe in the toxic fumes. If you survive, report back to me."

[Delthion]

Ozymandias went to Venus. Unfortunately for Mercury, Ozymandias found the goddess herself and breathed in her perfumes which were so strong, some have called them toxic. He then reported back to Mercury.

[Ashleg]

"You smell like perfumes!" barked Mercury. "You must go to the planet Venus, not the Goddess. Off with you!"

[Delthion]

"You never made such a stipulation!" Ozymandias cried indignantly. "I followed your instructions to the letter! Now give me my next task or be pulverized!"

[Ashleg]

"You will not find the MAP OF VULCAN without me. And one such as you cannot destroy a planet, Ozymandias. Do as I say." boomed Mercury.

[Delthion]

Unfortunately for Mercury, Ozymandias didn't care that much about proving himself. He pulverized Mercury, and floated to Vulcan as he had found the map in Mercury's core.

[Ashleg]

"I am Vulcan," said Vulcan.
"I see that you have become a Gary Stu, Ozymandias."

[Delthion]

Ozymadias beamed with pride at these words. Becoming a Gary Stu was his highest ambition.
