By the way, the first three chapters, and possibly the fourth, are pretty boring. They're just to start the story off, so you can imagine those chapters differently if you wish .
EDIT: I have just found out that you can comment in comments threads no matter how old they are. Go on! Comment! xD

OldBean
Chapter One, A new light
This was it. The big moment. In a few moments time, OldBean, an owl, will become temporary mayor of Inner Beanland while Mayor Gondour goes to visit the remains of what used to be China a long time ago.
“Citizens of Breathlight, I will, before I visit the historical Great Wall of Chimps, will regretfully pass my status of mayor to OldBean. Temporarily.” he added, with a look of real hatred towards OldBean. OldBean did not look upset, quite on the contrary, he looked rather cheerful.
“Right, OldBean,” said Dr. Moo, backstage. “This antidote, or potion, whatever you people call it these days, will make sure that you will not be anxious or nervous while on stage. DRINK IT!” he yelled, as OldBean tried to dispose of the antidote in a nearby bin. “It cost half me life making that!”
“Quite hard to believe, really.” said OldBean, who was still smiling. “If it did take that long, you must have looked into the future and noticed I would become mayor! Isn’t that right?!”
“Er…I guess so?” Of course, Dr. Moo was not being truthful. Time Travel seemed ridiculous to him, let alone prophecies and that sort of stuff.
OldBean got up on the stage. Everyone in the crowd groaned.
“It is I, OldBean! And Mayor Gon-home-to-mummy’s reign of terror is over! I, will for once, allow entertainment in this, town, village, whatever. Okay people, lights, music, action…”
A woman got up on the stage. She looked rather beautiful, and danced to a song called “Don’t eat it”.
“Geez, I wish they’d stop ripping of the songs from back in 2000. That’s just lame.” whispered Mr. Lep.
“SHUT UP, SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!”
“EXCUSE ME!? THIS IS A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT! NO SLEEPING ALLOWED!” cried out OldBean.
“THIS DAY MIGHT AS WELL BE THE DAY I DIE!”
“THIS DAY MIGHT AS WELL BE THE DAY I RISE!”
“SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU! CRYING OUT LOUD! SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO GAMBLE HERE!” said a nearby person. Of course, later on, the guy got arrested for no reason at all.

OldBean Link coming soon. I'll put it back here later.
Was interesting, but it lost some sense of humour halfway through the story.
OldBean was partying at his house at his recent ‘temporary’ becoming of Mayor. He fell asleep rather quick. But the next day, was to be rather hectic. OldBean would not have been prepared for it regardless anyway. Although, some could argue that OldBean could live without it.
“MY TOP HAT!” yelled OldBean. “ITS GONE! IT IS GONE! WHO STOLE IT?!”
He ran down stairs, only to find Mr. Lep reading the newspaper. What he was reading was a review of the new talk show “Ask Marin”. Apparently, users unbelievably gave it a 10/10.
“LEP, EXPLAIN YOURSELF! WHERE IS MY HAT?!”
“Your hat?”
“YES, MY HAT, YOU BUFFOON!”
“Haven’t seen it.”
“Really?” whispered OldBean.
“Yup.”
“Damn, I’M GONNA CALL THE RSPCA!”
“Why the PCA?” asked Mr. Lep. “Sounds ridiculous.”
“We’re animals, so if you’ll excuse me, nuthead…”
“K. I’ll go and make a ham sandwich.”
“NO! DON’T LEAVE ME!” cried OldBean.
Eventually, OldBean gave up pestering everyone and went out to search for it. No matter how lame he thought it was, he found it as a good stress reliever when he saw the next door neighbour accidentally spray himself with a fire extinguisher. However, he did not find the top hat. Then all of a sudden, he heard a sound below the earth. The sewers? He felt a strong power surging through his body. He went down, into the sewers.
“’ello? Anyone here?” called out OldBean. No one answered. He ventured through the sewers more. It was dark, he needed some light. But there was a glowing light in front of him. He was terrified, as all people would be at this point, and like most people, he ventured forward anyway. What he saw was unbelievable.
“HOLY SMOKEROOS KICK THE SOCCEROOS BACKSIDE….”
The entire area was full of $1000000 cheques. OldBean didn’t know anyone who would leave that much money lying around in a sewer. But what he saw ahead of him was what made him whimper. A yellow sphere was in front of him, and inside it, was a man with a rather terrifying look about him. He wore a black long cape, and had a rather large mask on him. This person was no reincarnation of Zorro.
“What are you doing here, fool? Leave this area unless you want to feel the wrath of my power!”
“Er, mate, you do realise this is Halloween? Not scared here, shut up. Thanks!”
“Fool, feel my power, surging through you like a bolt of lightning, DIE!”

Next one! Au revoir, now! I'll be back with the next chapter eventually!
Quote:
Chapter Three, The Chimps
OldBean was panting hard outside, he had just escaped death.
“Right, that does it! I am now TRULY, GOD DAMNIT CALLING…THE RSPCA!”
He did not call the PCA though. He instead regretfully phone called Mayor Gondour. Apparently Gondour was still wondering whether the wall was truly called the ‘Great Wall of Chimps’.
“’ey, er, Gondy mate, I was wondering if you could help me out here? This weird guy in tights is trying to kill me!”
“Heh. Spider-Man ‘nuff? I thought you said you wanted to be mayor? You have the entire town at your control. DEAL WITH IT.”
And he hung up.
---
“I’m telling you, this guy tried to kill me!”
“Sorry mate, but April Fools was ages ago!” laughed Mr. Lep.
“O RLY?”
“Heh, you still got that habit.”
“Shut up.”
They were back at OldBean’s house. The place was full of laughter.
“I SAID, SHUT UP! WANT ME TO COMMIT SAPPAKU?!”
“Soap Pikachu?” wondered Boda.
“It means suicide.”
“Course we don’t want you too, but geez, this is ridiculous! More ridiculous than the time Dr. Moo told me that my next girl friend would try to kill me with a ridiculously large gun!”
Sure enough however, a ridiculously huge gun was seen right outside the door.
“Anyway,” continued OldBean. “I think we should go have a visit to Mr. “I am almighty”. People like that really get on my nerves.”
“I thought you were scared?” asked Dr. Moo.
“Why do I care?”
OldBean detoured back to the sewers. Apparently, the stranger had disappeared. But all the cash remained.
“HOLY SMOKEROOS KICK THE SOCCEROOS…”
“OldBean, that line is really getting old.” said Mr. Lep.
“Your face is old.”
“Your name is old.”
“And proud of it!”
They continued through the sewers, and found some chimpanzees.
“WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE CHIMPS DOING HERE?!” yelled OldBean.
“Probably from Chimpina.” replied Dr. Moo.
“The place is called China, git. Are you being brainwashed by Mayor Gondour too?”
“What happened to Mayor Gon-home-to-mummy?”
“Eh, it was getting old.”
“Like you.” s******ed Mr. Lep.
“And very much unlike your face too.” replied OldBean sarcastically. “Anyway, what we gonna do with these guys?”
Boda shrugged. “Beats me. Kill ‘em for money?”
“Geez, mate. I are you being brainwashed by Marin’s article on Runescape? What on earth is the world coming to? First Chimpina, now this.”
They stared 5 whole minutes at the chimps. They decided it wasn’t much.
“Geez, this is boring, lets call it a day.” insisted Mr. Lep.
“We are not leaving! And I thought I was in love with the TV!” said OldBean.
---
After searching most of the sewers, they gave up on any evidence.
“Well, lets REALLY go home now!” said Mr. Lep.
“Oh fine then, you moron.” said OldBean.
“Th…pla…Co..tra…oo…hood…ore…honey…”
“Come on, lets go.” said Mr. Lep angrily.
“SHUT UP FOR A MOMENT!” yelled OldBean.
Silence.
“Of course we….ore honey…”
“ut….money exchan….ates…”
“Who the hell are those people talking?” asked Boda.
“How the hell should I know? Wait, that voice, Electus Contra, President of Contro Corporation!”
“What the bloody hell are people so important doing in a sewer?” wondered Dr. Moo.
“Well, he explains the $1000000 cheques I found.” OldBean grinned, looking at his backpack stuffed full of cheques.
“I doubt Control Moron would leave that much cheques lying around. Maybe that stranger…” Dr. Moo wondered for a moment.
A nearby door banged open.
“What are you all doing here?” asked Electus.
“Oh man, not you. And I had to deal with people with proper grammar.” OldBean sighed.
“Hmph. I heard that you have been attacked by Zeromune as well. He seeks power to conquer and destroy all the world.”
“Again, like all fictional bad guys? Do they ever wonder where they’d go once the entire planet, doesn’t exist?”
“Naturally, the planet would not itself be destroyed. The planet would instead be lifeless. No plantation, no wildlife, no nothing.”
“Oh, I get it.” said OldBean, burning angrily. “And you were discussing problems with bills you had to pay for while we’re gonna die? The bloody hell are you?”
“I admire your caring for everyone, but I have a luncheon to attend to. I assure you, this person will arrested by the police.”
“A person with that much power captured? Gimme a break, if he gets away?”
“Well, that’s just your problem isn’t it?” replied Electus.
“You’re telling me, you don’t have a care in the world as long as you’re rich, with fame and power?” asked Mr. Lep.
A man walked out of the door.
“That is the way we operate. Get the job done, nice and quickly.” he said.
“And you call yourself famous, you’ll be losing fame soon enough, moron.” fired up OldBean. This had done it. Electus drew out a gun.
“Oh car rap…” OldBean whimpered.
“And it comes to this, doesn’t it? Go to hell, or run. Or pick up a brave fight.”
“I’ll fight…” said Mr. Lep gruffly. He picked up a stone and threw it at the man.
“Ouch. Did you know we wore body armour?”
“Oh crap, rest is up to you, Mr. Bean.” And with that, Mr. Lep ran for it.
“Argh…did you guys forget about my magic top hat? Its right on top of my head, I found it on my escape. Dare attack, I’ll magically attack you.”
“Give it a rest, magic does not exist!”
“Wanna bet?”
OldBean twirled the hat around. A carrot fell out.
“Bloody hell,” said Dr. Moo, amazed. “The rabbit trick does work!”
“Idiot,” OldBean whispered. “Magic exists, but my top hat can’t do it. Its just a carrot I picked up. I distracted him with it. WE RUN NOW!” He yelled.
-----
“Okay then,” Boda asked. “What are we gonna do with the cheques? Make a army to go against Contra and beat Zero up?”
“Nah, crap idea. Make an FBI.” said OldBean. They were back at his house, and any moment now, they’d go off and begin.
-----
“Doesn’t it look marvellous?” OldBean said a month later. “Don’t you think the FBI looks nice?”
They were in front of the building. They noticed through a mirror that an office woman was at the counter. A hedgehog that resembled the fictional Sonic the Hedgehog gave away free samples of the new food the bakery had. And on the top of the building, were words shining in the light. The words were also engraved on the sides of the building. And they said:
OldBean FBI IB
The word 's******ed' is censored for some reason by the way. And yes, I know the word got sensored again.

OldBean Link coming soon. I'll put it back here later.
Was interesting, but it lost some sense of humour halfway through the story.
“So, what does ‘IB’ stand for?” asked Dr. Moo.
“Inner Beanland. I mean, we do live in the inner part of it.”
“Oh, right. Okay.”
They entered through the door. The hedgehog walked up to them.
“Ah, Mr. Bean! I hope you are doing well today?”
“God, you people! Don’t call me Mr. Bean! I don’t even have a surname!”
“You…don’t?” said Mr. Lep in awe.
“Nope. Never dreamed of it.”
“Oh, hello, sir!” said the hedgehog, scanning Mr. Lep. “First visit? My name is Darius Lonjunctio. Please fill this form out if you wish to join our group!”
Mr. Lep filled the form in:
First Name: Dennis
Middle Name: ___________ (Not required to register)
Last Name: Lep
Is that all I really needed to fill out, Mr. Lep wondered.
“Why hello Dennis!”
“You just said hi to me the other moment…” said Mr. Lep
“Oh yes!” Darius scanned everyone else carefully. “I know you, you’re Boda, the person who can never seem to get into a relationship!”
“Why the hell did you tell him that…?” Boda whispered to OldBean.
“Oh, and why, you’ve already registered, both of you!” he said, looking at both Dr. Moo and Boda. “Gabran Moo, correct?”
Before Gabran could answer though, the woman at the counter ran towards OldBean.
“I-I have a letter…”
OldBean took it and opened the envelope. He noticed that the letter had the Contro Corporation logo on it. He read the letter.
We are attacking.
“The bloody hell? WE’RE GONNA BE ATTACKED?!” OldBean yelled in frustration. It was as if things were tough enough already.
“Well, well, well. Looks like our letter arrived too late.” President Contra himself was standing in the doorway, with that gun in his hand. “I believe one of you has offended me highly, and has been fighting against my corporation bravely. That person will pay. Show yourself now.”
OldBean walked out in front of Electus.
“Well, mate. I must admit you’ve had me. I surrender myself in the name of the Lord!”
“Hmph, very funny.” He loaded the gun, took good aim, and fired.
“Sad thing is, you’ll probably get your own talk show after this, just like Marin.” laughed OldBean. Electus had just stepped onto a trapdoor when it had been activated. He was now miles beneath the building. But all his soldiers remained.
“Oh, crap. What now?” OldBean said angrily.
“Well, lets run for it and let our Bean Squad attack them too. Call all of our forces, I’d say.” said Dennis. “RUN!”
They ran through all the gunfire, and due to the good training of the Bean Squad, no one was harmed. But Gabran had better things to think about.
“Hang on,” he said. “Where the hell are we going?”
“We’re flying to ‘Chimpina’!” yelled back Dennis. “Word is that Zero is looking for some sort of Relic there! We can escape everyone here too!”
“What, and leave everyone to die? You gotta be kidding…” But when OldBean looked up at Dennis, he looked serious.
“Come on, look, no one’s injured! Everything’ll be fine! Lets go!”
“What about Contra? He will kill everyone here regardless of rather they’re men, women, dogs, cats, and his family!”
“His family works here?” asked Dennis, stunned.
“No way, man!”
“Well, lets go anyway. It’ll take a while for Contra to the top floor from all the way up there. The exit in the trapdoor leads to the 71st floor, you see.”
“Goody, I guess its safe to go then!” chuckled OldBean. The security measures were rather good in his opinion. “So, where is the BeanPlane?!”
“Geez, and I thought the BatMobile was bad. Anyway, its at the hanger. Duh.”
They went to the hanger, it seemed that Electus’ top dog, the man they met in the sewers, was right in there.
“I’m attaching a bomb onto the Plane, just a little more and…” He caught sight of the owl, cow, dragius, and human.
“Well, well. Going somewhere, are we?”
“Oh, did I forget that there are more complex traps around here?” laughed OldBean. The trap activated, and the man fell to his…
“Surely he didn’t die?” asked Dennis, not assured by OldBean.
“Oh, no. But he’ll be down there for a long, long, long time….”
They got rid of the already ticking time bomb with Gabrans help. They threw it at the door in the 71st floor, when they reached the skies. The windows smashed, and the bomb went in.
“That’ll give Contra some trouble getting back down, after he just came back up.” grinned Dennis.
They flew off into the distance, to China, where Mayor Gondour and possibly Zero, would be.
“Well, what are we doing there when we get there?” asked Boda. “Not like we’ll just say hi to them and take our leave.”
“We’ll try to get that relic Zero is after and look after it. And obviously, keep it away from him. And if I see Gon-home-to-mummy, I’d like to give him some words of respect."
When they reached the remains of what used to be China, OldBean said “Well folks, this where it all starts…”But he would not believe later how true his words were.
They all looked down from above, and from seeing the horrible sight they just saw, they all gave a bellow of fear. Zeromune was right there, ready to attack them.
Currently writing next chapter, 1/4 done .

OldBean Link coming soon. I'll put it back here later.
Was interesting, but it lost some sense of humour halfway through the story.
Zero was right there, with a glowing energy ball in his hand, the colour of it bright purple. It was a fearful sight.
“Well, this time, we have weapons! DROP THE BOMBS, I hope this works!” yelled OldBean.
The bombs had no effect, Zeromune’s shield protected him, nothing made a scratch when all of the bombs has been used.
“HOLY SHIP HARBOUR, THE HELL ARE WE GONNA DO NOW?!” Boda yelled at OldBean. He merely shrugged, the look of fear no longer on him.
“Fire all weaponry. We need survival badly. Boda, control the ship for a while, please.”
“WHAT?!”
“You heard me.”
OldBean left the cockpit and had a good look at Zeromune.
“’ello, Zero, ‘ma man! How you doin’?”
“You should never have come.” said Zeromune darkly.
He blasted the energy ball at the helicopter, and it came tumbling down from the air.
“OH MAN, OH MAN, OH MAN…”
“Boda, shut up! Its part of the plan!” yelled back OldBean. OldBean braced for impact, and yelled his favourite line…
“I say Old Be-an…!”
The copter ended up right nearby the Great Wall of China. The wall has survived all those 1000 years. Other than that, China was now quite wasted.
“Explore the wall, I say?” asked Dennis.
“Er, okay. Not that its that exciting.” shrugged OldBean.
Despite what he thought, the wall did become quite exciting to look around. But then they met Gondour.
“Oh, geez. I didn’t expect you here!” growled OldBean.
“Oh, sure. I’ve been investigating the wall and have finally got its true name. It is indeed China.”
“Yeah, well let me just make it a stupid name!”
Silence.
“Where me go. Me know relic. Shiny thing. Mujashia! Mujashia!”
“Okay now, who the hell are you?” asked Gabran, looking at the wild girl who had just popped out of nowhere.
“Hang on, did she say ‘relic’? Lets follow her, she’s pointing somewhere.” insisted OldBean.
“How the hell does she know it’s a relic?!”
They all walked off to follow the girl, leaving Gondour yelling “Come back here right now! I demand an explanation! Your time as mayor is until 6 more months! COME BACK HERE!”
OldBean came back, with a package that contained a time bomb.
“Hey, pal. I just wanted to pay some respect to you, you know, for making life easy for me? Take this parcel, a small gift from me.”
OldBean walked off, leaving Gondour completely stunned.
“K, lets go.”
They followed the Mechanid girl around the forest. She did not say anything. Until they ventured deeper.
“Me name Mujashia!”
“I worked that out somehow all by myself, thanks.” replied Dennis, but Boda through a angry look at him.
As they ventured even more deeper, they noticed remains of the long ago Battle of Silence. The tents were still there, and the food were still there. Sadly for Gabran, the food was no longer in any condition to eat.
“Relic here.” Mujashia said. OldBean went up to the box in which she was pointing to. He opened it, and looked inside. There was nothing in there.
“Die, weaklings. You were so gullible to have thought that a random girl would have found the ancient relic. In the first place, how could she have known it was even a relic!?” Zeromune’s voice came directly from Mujashia. “You will pay for the price for your stupidity, and you will earn it now!”
Mujashia exploded, no blood came out though. She was a mere puppet. OldBean and the rest of them were greatly injured, but got away to escape death, yet again.
“I KNEW there was something wrong with that girl! Zero, I am going to kill you!” yelled Boda.
“Shut up, Boda. As we are in no condition continue, I suggest we heal up here, have some rest.” said OldBean.
“What, you mean you’ll let Zeromune about 3 more steps ahead of us?!” complained Dennis, scandalised.
“Well, if we go injured, we’ve had it. From this point on, we have to be cautious of the many dangers around here.”
“Geez, its only been a while and bad stuff is already happening. You think your becoming of mayor is an omen?” asked Gabran.
“Omen? OMEN? No way, my friend! OldBean may as well be the best mayor in history! Temporary or not!”
“And that,” whispered Dennis to Boda and Gabran. “Is coming from the beak of an owl that wears a top hat.”

Very nice chapter this one, if I may say so myself .
Quote:
Chapter Six, The Relic of Realism
The next day, they all got up to cook some food they caught. Boda did not like it.
“Pfft,” he went. “Salmon. Trout. Tuna. Pike. Do I have to eat this?”
“Yes, you do, now SHUT UP.” yelled back OldBean.
“Yeah, since when did you ever eat trout? I thought you lived on POPCORN!”
“Well, an owls gotta try out everything, right?” he replied.
“And you still haven’t accepted my challenge of not wearing that top hat for one month.” said Dennis.
OldBean merely shrugged, and merrily cooked the fish and ate it.
“WOW, he can eat Tuna!” yelled Boda.
“Well, duh.” said Gabran. “Fish is edible.”
After they had had their food, they continued through the forest, being cautious all the way through.
“Oh my god, a butterfly!” screamed Boda. “It might shoot butter at us! There is a reason they call them butterflies you know!”
“And there is a reason,” said Gabran before Boda could continue rambling. “That people would like to call you Soda. Get rid of the ‘o’ in the name, and put in the 's'. Re-arrange it. ‘Sad’. You are a sad, sad, pathetic weak hopeless and loveless…”
“Will you two shut UP?” said OldBean again. “Geez, just what we want when we’re gonna scale the building ‘Granus’ Tower’ from the outside!”
“The outside?” Boda, Dennis, and Gabran were rather surprised. “The outside? Why can’t we go through the inside? Why the hell are we going there anyway?!”
“For a start, the path in the tower leads to ‘Mt. Granus’.” replied OldBean. “Zero headed there. But its too risky. Contra set up troops in the tower, he expected us to escape the FBI IB and come for the relic. Hopefully though, if all went well for Zero, the troops will have been killed by him.”
Everyone gulped. They marched off for the tower, which when they arrived, was very, very tall. They could hardly scale it without falling back down and dying. Of course, OldBean would survive, as he could fly.
“So, plan is? Commit suicide?” laughed Boda.
“I hardly see whats so funny, my friend.” he said to Boda. “But if you are THAT scared, we might as well ask Dr. Moo for some of that Confidence Potion.”
“I’M NOT SCARE-” Boda started, but Gabran already took out four glasses from his backpack, and filled them with some Confidence Potion. They all took a glass.
“I brought it in case we’d need it.” said Gabran proudly. “It seems we did. With such confidence, we will not be afraid that we will fall, we will believe we will succeed! And without fear, there can be no loss!”
They drained all their glasses. It tasted rather good, unlike other medicines and potions. OldBean felt determined, that he would reach the relic. But this didn’t really matter, as OldBean could just fly up there.
“Well, gotta fly!” he went. “I say Old Bean!” And he flew off.
They all scaled the tower with confidence, and without anxiousness and nervousness with them, they felt as if they could do anything. But about when they reached three quarters of the building, the potion wore off.
“Don’t look down, down look down.” Boda repeated to himself, still clinging onto his rope.
“That saying never really helps out, now does it?” said OldBean, all the way at the top.
“Ah man, while you’re just enjoying your view, we’re being ambushed, with 99% percent of defeat!”
Sure enough, all the windows smashed open, and the troops loaded their rifles, and aimed.
“No high tech security for you this time.” one of them sneered.
“Well, its up to me again, isn’t it?” decided OldBean. OldBean went inside the tower and yelled “Who ya gonna call?! The fatso from Italy? Wait, I know, how about that guy from Chimpina, you know, the guy who cries for his mummy?!”
The troops didn’t round on him. They knew it was a distraction. As they were about to fire, OldBean said, “Well folks, at least you have some brains. But if you want larger ones…” and then he flew straight at all of them. They all fell out the window. OldBean helped everyone into the tower.
“Well, at least you finally killed SOMEONE, OldBean!” yelled Dennis.
“I didn’t kill, they have parachutes! And due to their very bad security, all the troops down there will be questioning the troops that were once up here about their identity! And it could take ages for all I know, bloody hell, the time to get all the way up here’ll take long!”
“Speaking of that,” Gabran said, “Don’t you think we should HURRY UP!”
And so they all ran to the top of the tower, and went up the mountains without ease. But they finally made the end of it, nearby the very top of the mountain, was the relic.
“Can’t…breathe…” Boda complained. OldBean ignored him.
“The relic of Realism,” the relic went. It was odd to find a relic that could talk. “if you wish something to become real, you have found your chance. Deep within your hearts, lie your truest desires.”
“Okay guys, watch it. This could be another fake for all I know.” said Dennis. Everyone else was almost sure about it.
“Worth the risk.” OldBean went. And so he took the relic. He felt power surging through him, but now that power of confidence and achievement. It was the bad sensation he had felt three times already. The relic went out of control and shattered, and once OldBean opened his eyes again, he noticed a blue light energy ball in front of him.
“Lies your truest desires..” the energy ball went. “Claim me, and all your dreams will become true.”
OldBean still thought it as a trap. He looked at the others, they all frowned.
“Seems too real.” they replied to his look.
“How do I take it, is the question.” he went.
“Claim me, grasp me, use me for everything to be real…”
Grasp…OldBean touched the energy ball, and all was gone. The energy ball released its energy and all four of them tumbled down the mountain. They were very badly injured when they reached the very bottom. Surprisingly, they did not die.
“Wow, and we escaped death again.” whispered Dennis. “How?”
“A little bit of confidence,” Gabran said, “Never goes amiss.” And he pointed at his backpack, apparently, the potion did really wear off. It was just their fear breaking out of them temporarily. Their belief that they would live made it all worth while.
“Idiots!” Zero’s voice boomed. “You fell for yet another trap! There is no Relic of Realism! If you are that dumb, it may as well be called the Relic of Unrealism! But it is too late now, you are surrounded. Admit defeat, and surrender yourself to me.”

Electus and his troops withdrawed from the FBI. It was a hilarious sight, all of them running for their lives, but Giacomo had no real time for that.
“All right men,” he started, but Dranon interrupted him.
“Sir, we have a message from Sir Bean.”
“Do not call him Bean. He wants to rather be called OldBean. What is the message?”
“He says he’s returning. But it’ll take him a while with some difficulty that he seems to have right now. He wouldn’t tell me what it was.”
“Right then men, we need to rally up more resistance in case they come back with stronger, more skilled, and more deadly troops. I’ll be right back.”
And with that, he left the area. He went to the 63rd floor, The Meeting Room. He did not know that a Contro troop was hiding in the air ducts. But he heard the noise, and shot the man dead.
“Blimey, Gia. Never knew you had a knack for spotting troops.” said Randal, looking at the gaping hole in the ceiling.
“There is a reason I’m leader here. Get more Bean Squad members to the front entrance, 71st floor, and the dungeon entrance. Call the elite squad to the weaponry area, Cafeteria, and get Qualia the nurse protected by the best man you can find.”
“Yes, sir.” The man replied, and he walked off. Giacomo heard a rattle on the ceiling. He had expected that, the enemy was parachuting to the 71st floor. He went to the elevator, and put in the token.
“Access granted to special areas for 24 hours. Name, Giacomo.” a voice said. He pushed the button to the 71st floor and waited. He got his knife, and gun ready, the enemy was probably waiting right in front of the elevator. When the doors opened, he fired away at all the troops, they all went down in a few hits.
“We can’t just stand around, get moving, don’t use the emergency exits by the way.” he added, when a man made for one. “The enemy is taking everything into advantage. But the traps more than to make up for it."
An alarm went off again.
“Red alert, Red Alert! The weaponry area has been infiltrated!”
And so Giacomo made for the elavator, and went to the 3rd floor. It was a trap, he’d had it. There was Electus, the president of Contro Corporation. Electus pointed his gun and said, “So long, mighty warrior.”
And the gun fired loudly.

OldBean Link coming soon. I'll put it back here later.
Was interesting, but it lost some sense of humour halfway through the story.
Short chapter, its meant to represent Zeromune's power
Quote:
Chapter Eight, Zero Survival
OldBean was at the bottom of the mountain, all hope lost. Zeromune ‘zeroed’ onto him and created another energy ball.
“And now,” he said. “You shall pay the price.”
With the effect of Confidence potion, OldBean dodged the attack.
“Pay the price?! Geez, I haven’t even payed for my car rental yet!”
Zeromune created a larger ball and directed it at the tip of the mountain. Boulders came rolling down towards all five of them.
“Watch it!” yelled Dennis as he pushed OldBean away. The boulders did not harm Zeromune though, as he still had his barrier.
“You thought you could defeat me..? You are narrow minded, no brains at all.”
He struck another energy ball at the four. They dodged, but the blast hit Boda.
“BODA!” they all yelled. Boda flew far away, not seen in sight after he had past the remains of the War of Silence.
“I’m gonna get you for this!” and Gabran charged at Zeromune, his attack only reaching as far as Zeromune’s barrier. The touch of the barrier brought a sort of electrical shock through his body, and he feel to the ground. He moved no more.
“Ah man, Denny, don’t give it up too.” whimpered OldBean. “RUN FOR IT!”
But no sooner than he said run, Zeromune disabled his shield and charged at OldBean and held him up high in the sky.
“You think,” he said. “That you can actually outsmart me with saying ‘run’ as fast as possible? Idiot.” With that, he dropped OldBean and kicked him far away. He too, flew off out of sight. Zeromune now glared down at Dennis.
“You will be next.”
And he pointed his finger at Dennis, a mighty looking gun materialised. And he said, “This is the end, for all of you.”
Dennis ran for it, but he got shot by the tranquilliser dart, and went down.
