Fei Yen & Aksel

Fei Yen was the lead guitarist of a very mediocre heavy metal band, which the name is not very important at this time (and because of lack of coming up with a name). She quit the band because...well they just plain sucked, so she left in a very moody fashion. On her way home during a thunderstorm her car was struck by a bolt of lightning.

Now to this backstory.

Aksel was one of the laziest nordic warriors of Asgard. One day during his guard duties, Odin's favorite dog, Fluffuls, stole Aksel's cut of mutton right out of his hands. Enraged, Aksel kicked the dog rendering it crippled. Odin found out and banished Aksel from Asgard forever.

Now back to the present.

Fei Yen, bruised up got out of her car wondering what the hell happened to it. She got out and noticed a large figure laying on top of the hood of her car. Fei then reached back into her car and grabbed her guitar. She did not hesitate to hit the figure and continued to do so until it grabbed her guitar and told her to stop.

"Who the hell are you?!", screamed Fei as the figure lifted her up by her guitar.

"I am Aksel. Who the hell are you?"

Before Fei could continue to yell at him another lighting bolt struck. After this one, a large group of trolls (from the prison of Asgard) bursted out of the sky and headed towards Fei and Aksel. With no time to think Aksel grabbed his hammer and Fei, already angry as she was, gripped her guitar and the both of them got ready for battle.

The trolls charged the both of them. Both Fei and Aksel thwarted them off and utterly beat them all to death.

After the battle, Aksel looked to Fei and asked if she would join him in troll killing. With her adrenaline
already pumping through her system, she excitingly agreed to the offer. Without any warning, Aksel picked up Fei and ran off with her. She asked where they were going and he responded to with, "To find a vehicle."

To make a long story short they found a local man who was building his own zeppelin. They stole it. After that, both Fei and Aksel flew all around the world killing trolls that would appear after thunderstorms.

Maathai Royal Bloodline

Starting with Chief Omorede Osei Sefu Sunjata Maathai I, the founder of the tribe that sat in between the countries of Kenya and Uganda. Chief Sefu, as he was also known, was the ruler of the tiny tribe, Nzambi. Ruling from 2030-2076 Chief Sefu accomplished nothing, except for the obtaining of a Coca-Cola machine that sat outside of the village. Unfortunately, nobody in the tribe knew how to use it.

After Chief Sefu's death his only son, General Omorede Osei Sefu Sunjata Maathia II, became the new ruler of Nzambi. He ruled from 2077-2093. General Maathai established a strict dictatorship for his people. He obtained guns and foreign money which boosted his evil regime. He waged war against neighboring tribes and what he thought was robot invaders, but in reality it was the Coca-Cola vending machine from the previous ruling. He was killed on March 5th 2093, after a rebellion of the Nzambi people successfully overthrowing General Maathai.

Twenty years later, the Nzambi people became chaotic and were not controlled by anyone. Until one day, a man named Jata came forth to reestablish control over the Nzambi people. He was a figure head much like Mahatma Gandhi was for India. He brought peace, wealth and government. He ruled from 2113-2116 making it the shortest Nzambi ruling ever. In 2116, the Nzambi people discovered that Jata was the secret son of General Maathai from the previous ruling. In a frenzy they stormed the government building searching for Jata. At the same time a meteor stuck the Earth killing everyone.

Karina Palma

     High up in the Peruvian mountains lived a girl and her family. The girl's name was Karina Palma and her family was guinea pig farmers. Her parents would raise the guinea pigs and when ready, round them up and travel to a nearby city to sell them while she stayed home to watch the rest of them. Karina loved all of the guinea pigs that they raised on the farm. She would play with all of them and treat them as if they were her own children.
   
     One day while Karina's parents traveled to the city, a strange man came up to the village. He walked up to Karina and asked her if he could buy a handful of the guinea pigs. She told him that the ones at the farm were not ready to be sold yet and that her parents were taking some to the nearby city. Disappointed, the man told her about how he was going to cook them. Shock by what she had just heard, Karina pushed the man out of the way and grabbed all of the guinea pigs, threw them into a basket and fled the farm.

     Not knowing what to do, Karina ran to the nearest cave and rested inside. She stayed in the cave for hours thinking about why her parents would sell off the guinea pigs as food. She was very stressed. She looked over at the tiny guinea pigs inside the basket and felt sad that people would actually eat them. She grabbed the basket and held it tightly in her arms and rocked the guinea pigs and herself to sleep.

     Early the next morning, Karina woke up to the sound of her parents calling for her. She tried to hide, but her father came into the cave before she could even move. He asked her why she ran off with the guinea pigs. She told them the story of the man and how she was upset when she found out that people ate guinea pigs instead of keeping them as pets.
 
     Both of them laughed because they knew that strange old man. They told her that they never sell guinea pigs to him for the fact that he will eat them. She then asked what the guinea pigs were really being sold for. Her mother chuckled and told her to traveled with them back to the village to see for herself. Karina wiped her angry tears off her face and collected the basket full of guinea pigs and followed her parents out of the cave.

     Once in the city, Karina was very excited to see that the guinea pigs that she helps raised were in fact pets and not being used as food. She ran through the city meeting guinea pigs that she hadn't seen in a long time and going around telling people about all she knew about guinea pigs. Years to follow, Karina would venture to the city with either her mom or dad and helped find great homes for he precious guinea pig friends.
