Artemis and Boyd's Excellent Las Vegas Adventure Part 3, the Alpaca Predicament Part 2

<snip>
Artie moved to push Chibbly outside but when he touched him they heard a deep voice that shook the entire hotel room,

"NO."

They were scared,

"What in fresh hell was that?!" Artie said,

"Chi... Chibbly?" Boyd said,

"Thy name is not Chibbly, thy name is Xagzor." Chibbly said in a deep voice without moving his mouth.

"Artie, I'm scared!"

"What the hell is this thing?" Artemis said. "I am Xagzor, the master of time and space. I have taken on this form, as it would be most pleasing to you two simpletons" the odd creature retorted. "You two have both brought me here to this hellhole you call 'Las Vegas', and at this horrible year. And now, I will haunt thee until you bring me home" Artemis rubbed his temples, "This isn't real, this isn't real, this isn't real" he repeated to himself. Artemis remembered something from the night before...

The party was winding down. The Yakuza who owned the casino weren't happy with what had become of their evening events. They stormed the party and only found a few stragglers, including a drunken Artemis and Boyd who were drunkingly singing "Love Rollercoaster". The Yakuza grabbed them up and dragged them to the offices. Artemis didn't remember much, but he did remember the Yakuza boss injecting him and Boyd with narcotics and making them fight chainsaw wielding midgets. He also remembers being sent into the casino to juggle for people, and Boyd winning the alpaca in a raffle. They then checked into a room and passed out. The LVPD officer was a complete mystery...

"Boyd, this thing isn't real...well, it is. You won it in a raffel, but it can't talk! Those Yakuza bastards injected us with some serious narcotics!" Artemis searched the room. He found a duffel bag marked "JMC-BLUE DWARF. INNOVATIVE SCIENCES DEPARTMENT" He picked it up and held it out to Boyd. "Hey look, this says Blue Dwarf! How cool is...oh wait, this is mine" Artemis pulled out the MS-Psi scanner and took readings on both him and Boyd. "It's a neuro-narcotic, really well made. It hits the brain hard and give the user feelings of ecstasy, then fear and dread, then vivid hallucinations, which explains Chibbly..." "XAGZOR!" "...Xagzor. It lingers for hours, so we'll be seeing much of Chi...Xagzor for quite some time" Artemis put the scanner away. "So, breakfast?"

Artemis, Boyd, and Chibbly/Xagzor went down to the breakfast bar around 9:00. They were going to wait for Jaxx, Evelina, and Jacky before doing anything else. Artemis began to wonder if the Yakuza had gotten to them, but he was sure they could handle themselves even if they did. Artemis also began to wonder what had become of the other Dwarfers, Jay, Cass, Alex, Katrina, Plisken, Jade and Jamie. He hoped they were all right, and that they would find them soon. He also hoped that somebody would be able to treat them for the narcotics so that Xagzor would go away.

"Hey Artie, look, pancake people!" Boyd showed Artemis the people he had made by cutting up his pancakes. "That's wonderful..." Artemis said, trying to pick up the cup of soda with what little strength he had left. "Look at you pathetic little worms, and your pitiful hangovers..." Xagzor began. "Why, I bet you couldn't even..." "SHUT UP!" Artie and Boyd yelled in unison, getting weird looks from the rest of room. "Mommy, why are those men yelling at that llama?" A little girl asked. "It's an alpaca you piece of twaddle" Artemis said groggily.
