DREAMWEAVER; SUCCESSOR OF THE NIGHTMARE KING SPECIAL 4; A FRUITYLOOPIN' CRYPTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE; THE HORROR OF SPIDERMODE KEIRAN
SIX YEARS AGO…
Saito, Ariel, Keiran and I sat at the Dining Table in the Hall Of Our Residence having Dinner. It was Nighttime. Keiran and I had spent our allowances on various Edible Goodies and were looking forward to consume some of them that Night. That was our 'Secret Stash' and we knew better than to sacrifice that stash for the Dinner in front of us.
"San, Keiran, aren't you touching your Food?" Saito asked.
"No thanks. We're not hungry" Keiran glared at his Plate from the corner of his eyes.
"Why not?! We went through all the trouble of making this for you!" Saito snapped.
"San and I have got some serious training to complete tonight and nothing ruins a good Training Session worse than being full and sluggish. Like the old saying goes, 'the most powerful, the wisest, the most omniscient being in this world is simply the one who is most starving'" Keiran folded his arms and glared at the Food like he had some sort of beef with it.
"Are we really fighting about Food?" Ariel asked timidly.
"Little sis, all fighting in this world is ultimately about Food" Keiran said with a smirk.
"Yeah, why do you think all gods need a lure to bait the Fish? The only way to help a Race whose troubles revolve around Food is with Food itself; the cure for venom is often the venom itself" I said with an evil grin.
"Curing venom with venom huh?" Saito glared at the both of us in boredom.
"Fine then, we're going to bed! Ariel and I just ate! You guys can do whatever you want!" Saito said and left the Dining Room banging the door in the process.
TWO HOURS LATER…
I stood outside the corridor leading to our Rooms surveying the area.
"Is the coast clear San?" Keiran asked.
"The coast is clear Keiran, you can remove the 'Secret Stash' now" Keiran said.
Keiran opened a box. I saw what looked like a really long rope formed from binding the edges of about Thirty Three curtains together into an almost unbreakable sequence of knots.
"I'm sure them sisters would be trying to sneak around and 'catch us in the act'! I mean seriously, who'd be dumb enough to store their 'Secret Stash' in their bedroom?" Keiran said as he tied one end of the first curtain tightly to a Window Bar in a tight knot.
He handed me the edge of the last curtain.
"Take a leap San…I mean a leaping dive" he said.
I grabbed the curtain and pulled twice with all my strength to ensure it was well fastened.
"Wait a minute San…" Keiran called.
"What is it Keiran?" I asked.
"That Chain Of Curtains may look safe but it is not. If you truly want to ensure that they don't tear breaking their bond…you do this" San said as he unfastened the Curtains and dropped them into a Bucket Of Water till they were soaking wet.
"What are you doing Keiran?" I asked.
"This technique doesn't have much effect on a single thread in isolation but when performed on a fabric which is a fusion of a multitude of interwoven threads, it strengthens the cumulative bond of the fabric and amplifies it by multiples" Keiran said and tied the first curtain to the bar on the Window, then he handed me the last curtain.
"Now you try it" Keiran said.
"Why me first?" I glared at him suspiciously
"The Rule is when you attempt to perform a break out from a high Window Sill like this, the lightest must take the dive first. If the heaviest goes first and the fabric snaps when he's at the bottom, everyone at the top becomes stranded" Keiran explained.
"Stranded huh? Interesting choice of words considering that your motives are entirely questionable" I glared at him suspiciously and dived out of the Window while clutching the Chain of Curtains. I descended slowly by gradually interchanging the release of my left and right hands while pushing off against the Wall with both feet.
Soon I was in the Kirisawa Gardens. I surveyed the area.
"The coast is clear Keiran. The Fat Lady can now sing. Fortunately, we sabotaged all the Street Lamps in the Garden earlier" I said and thumbed up Keiran.
Keiran imitated my technique and descended. The Garden was dark. We crept against the Wall.
"San, do you know why we have to creep against the Wall with our backs against the Wall when performing a Stealthy Invasion into enemy territory?" Keiran asked.
"To cover our blindspots and avoid being taken by surprise by either a Patrolling Adversary or an Archer. With our backs covered we only have to worry about the enemy attacking from Three directions instead of Four" I explained.
"Exactly" Keiran said.
Soon we reached an Old Shed in the Garden. We opened the door and snuck in.
"Time to get the Torchlights out little bro" Keiran said. "Fortunately, I sealed all the Windows with Plywood see? Not a single ray of light will leave this room once we bring out the Torchlights plus we can easily dismantle the Plywood when we are done to keep them sisters in the Dark" Keiran said and thumbed up me.
I obeyed. We flashed them in the Shed.
In the Shed was an Old Well.
"It's actually shocking Saito didn't find this Well considering how meticulous she always is about the knitty gritty details" I said in surprise.
"Did you really think your big bro would be that careless? True…Saito may be like the Hawk in the Tree…that makes me…the Eagle atop the Mountains!" Keiran said with a wink and thumbs up while smirking.
I could almost see him sprout fangs.
"The reason Saito didn't find this Old Well is because…she did find this Old Well!" Keiran said with a sinister sparkle in his eyes.
"I don't get it" I said while scratching my head in confusion.
"Saito found this Well but didn't bother to check it out for anything suspicious because…of the lid!" Keiran said.
"Huh?" I asked.
"You've heard the old saying of trying to 'put the lid over the stinking gas pot'. Well this time, the lid actually conceals our 'Secret Stash'" Keiran said with an evil laugh.
I opened the lid. At the edge of the inner circumference of the Well was a circular Wooden Board fitted exactly to the inner circumference of the Well and nailed to this Board were a whole formation of Serial and Parallel Nails. Tied to each Nail was a Rope looped tightly to the Nail on the Board.
"Keiran, what's this?" I asked.
"Ssh! Do you want those Midianites to discover our Secret Stash?! Each Rope is of a different length meaning they each reach a different Depth in the Well. Each is tied to a Single Bucket. I ensured that the Maximum Load each Bucket could bear was far less than the Load the Ropes could bear. By ensuring that the Ropes are of different Lengths and taking into consideration, the Maximum Circumference and Cylindrical Length Of Each Bucket in comparison to the Circumference Of The Inner Well as well as the Maximum Depth Of The Well, we can store as many 'Secret Stashes' in the Well as we want by alternating the Depth and Positions Of Each Bucket" Keiran said with an evil grin. "Those dumb Midianites would never figure this out!" Keiran chuckled evilly. "We'll rotate the 'Secret Stashes' and alternate their Contents as and when we see fit and create a Chain Combo Matrix Of A Magic Spell Of Verses further confounding those dumb Templates called Midianites, MWAHAHAHA!!!" Keiran laughed evilly.
"For the evil scheme to be made complete, we'll need to come up with a whole Video Game Concept in the Future with Multiple Job Systems, each with its own fighting Style with a Party of No Less than Twelve at a Time; can you imagine the headache we can give those Templates called Midianites when we add the 'Coup De Grace' named 'Combination And Transformation'?" Keiran's eyes suddenly began to glow sinister red and Mandibles sprouted at the sides of his mouth.
"Spider Mode Keiran has finally surfaced, may the gods have mercy on those Templates called Midianites" I said and clasped my hands together. "You claim to be an Eagle atop the Mountains but your nature is more like that of a Spider and not the Spiderman Type but…the Kweku Ananse type that compounds the troubles of any Prey caught in its Web" I whispered sharply.
"Now San, before we can even begin to start thinking of implementing our evil scheme, the first thing we need to do is declare some variable and assign some values to them…comprende mon amigo?" Keiran asked. "I didn't just gather haphazard stashes and they are all Fruits. Each one like a Variable has its own Name and I have assigned to them certain Secret Values you can use to Signal me in an emergency.
The First Fruit is the Orange, when I see this, I know you are being attacked by an Encirclement Of Archers.
The Second is the Palm Nut. If you see this, resort to the Buddha Palm Technique. The Palm Of A Human has Five Fingers on each hand and Buddha is renowned for his Wisdom.
The Third is the Apple signifying an enemy resorting to Tracking/Stalking Techniques via either Radar or Sonar; at times like that just summon Qun'mi. She'll use her Crystal Jammer to knock some sense into them. Basically, to put it in words you can understand, to distort Radar and Sonar Tracking Techniques all you need is to 3-2-1 Make some Noise! (Echo Echo Echo).
The Fourth is the Pineapple. Raising this Flag means you're Technologically Deficient and need some Technological Assistance.
The Fifth is the Groundnut. This means you need to use the Wisdom Of Mother Earth…you know what I mean right?" Keiran said.
I nodded.
"The Sixth is the Passion Fruit. If you see this…then most likely someone you love dearly is in danger since it symbolizes Sacrificial Love.
The Seventh is the Melon signifying Romanse or 'A Woman's Heart'…uff…uff…I mean a Human's Heart.
The Eighth is the Grape symbolizing the Nation Of A Lord or his Vineyard.
The Ninth is the Cocoa symbolizing either Valentine's Chocobo or a Goal that can be attained highly efficiently.
The Tenth is the Coconut symbolizing Common Sense.
The Eleventh is the Pear symbolizing a Couple.
The Twelfth is the Banana symbolizing Seven Sons or Seven Saints. It could also mean a crazy Lion Turtle Monkey may have gotten himself into some serious trouble as a result of Monkey Business.
The Thirteenth is the Peanut symbolizing Peace attained through Wisdom.
The Fourteenth is the Chickpea symbolizing a Fertile Land, Pollination or Maturity.
The Fifteenth is the Berry symbolizing Crimson Eyes, Fortitude, Fury or Instinct.
The Sixteenth is the Cabbage symbolizing a very experienced Strategist.
The Seventeenth is the Mushroom meaning a Secret Place For Lovers.
The Eighteenth is Salt meaning Cartography via Radar/Sonar or any form of Extrasensory Perception that relies on Sound. There are times it can mean to make a Wound worse and there are times it connotes Flavour and Preservation as well as Purification and is always the best way to deal with an irritating bug. Since Salt is also created as a bi-product of the Neutralization Reaction that occurs between an Acid and an Alkali/Base, it can also symbolize Neutralization or Conversion for if the Forward Process exists, I put it to you that the reverse process also exists.
The Nineteenth is Yam meaning a Path or Hidden Possibility.
The Twentieth is Cassava. This is used to invite a Herald or Messenger of the Royal Family to a Secret Gathering.
The Twenty First is Cocoyam symbolizing an Easy Path.
The Twenty Second is the Potato which means Unity or Coordination Of Effort Amongst Diverse Parties" Keiran explained.
"These are the basic variables for a Fruityloopin' Eclipse Of A Cryptographic Strategy as well as their Assignments. Obviously…we be talking Twins" Keiran said as we bumped fists.
"Now you understand the True Essence Of The Vampiric Passover Feast where we eat and drink the blood of the gods after a Massacre! Finally, it is time to partake of the Rewards Of Manliness" Keiran said and we chuckled evilly and pulled up two of the Ropes bringing its contents to the Surface.
