The Katilax Chronicles: The Summoning

Prologue-Did We Get The Right Ingredients?

"W-wait what? The summoning failed already?" Lord Fulff said as he massaged his now twitching eyebrow. It only twitched when things went horribly wrong. Today's plans were going horribly wrong.
A grey fluffy hamster strutted her way to him and said: "That was quick. Let me guess, someone botched the 4th fuel compartment?" She tried to grab the hamster sized folder from her back. After failing several times, she rolled on her belly and shimmied it off of her back.
"Now let's see here." She opened the folder and looked up who was responsible for filling up the 4th fuel compartment.
"Aha!" Her tail wagged as she pointed her small fingers toward a certain employee's identification number and name.
"Hamster number 7309752403. Real name: Mishiel Vitonia. Codename: Lungus. So you botched your assignment huh?"


Angry squeaks suddenly filled the left room of the control station.
Lungus, a heavyset but well groomed hamster waddled his way into the room. Unlike most hamsters, Lungus chose to walk on his hind legs, another grave mistake of his.
He'd often fall, and if there were stairs, he'd roll down them. He managed to injure several staff members on a weekly basis.
Lungus made his way to the main control room, angrily squeaking while impatiently stomping his tail.
"I did no such thing!" He said, while looking at the folder.
Lungus took a meticulous look at the paper within the folder and, upon realizing that he had indeed botched his assigment, quickly snatched the paper from the folder and nibbled it into oblivion.
"T-that paper was obviously incorr...poorly written, yes! Miss Biscuit, you really MUST pay better attention to these reports! You know how incomprehensibly stupid those Barnaby Hamsters in
the Filing Department are. The last time I went there to pick up some archived records papers and sunflower seeds were everywhere. I nearly fell in the waiting room."


"You know I don't like that nickname. For the thousandth time, the name is Kinsley." Dr. Kinsley's tail wagged furiously as she spoke. "Oh, and you didn't nearly fall. You did fall. ON ME."
Lungus scratched his head and said: "Oh right. Well we both got paid time off for the incident."
"Actually, I declined the paid time off." Kinsley dryly said.
"I actually like my job, which is also why I made copies of the paper that you so sloppily ripped up."
Lungus stepped forward but his paw landed on one of the many ripped up pieces of papers he left on the floor, causing him to comically land backwards on his back.
Kinsley began to coolly read the paper:" Hamster number 7309752403 was responsible for inserting plutonium into the 4th fuel compartment."
Kinsley waddled to the 4th fuel compartment, entered the 3 digit combination, grabbed the fuel container, and flipped the container upside down.
She then pushed the open button, which allowed the contents of the fuel container to fall to the floor.
As they dropped she exclaimed: "I knew it! Lungus messed up his assignment. AGAIN."
What fell out the fuel container was not plutonium. It was a large amount of small rock chunks from Pluto, the disgraced former planet.


Lungus quickly rolled over and back on his four paws and scrambled to pick up the plutonian rocks.
Lord Fulff spoke sternly: "Lungus, how could you botch such an important task?"
Lungus meekly said: "Lord Fulff, the instructions were wrong! I-if we use Plutonium, we'll turn them into hamsters! Or w-worse...Rabbits!"
Lord Fulff glared at Lungus as he said: "W-what's wrong with rabbits? Is it the ears?"
Lungus grabbed the fuel container from Kinsley and stuffed them back into the fuel container. He then put the fuel container back into its compartment.
"I'm willing to test it on myself." Lungus said rather proudly. "I'll go through the summoning gate and come out as a human."
Lord Fulff grabbed his ear and lightly nibbled on it as he asked: "You know, there is always the 0.314% chance that this project will spontaneously fail."
"I do." Lungus puffed his chest out proudly as he spoke.
Lord Fulff tapped his foot in place impatiently. "Hmmm. Decisions, decisions...let's see..."
After a couple of minutes, Lord Fulff's ears raised up as he said: "Lungus wouldn't risk his life for unless he were absolutely sure that this would work."


Kinsley's eyes sparkled as she asked: "And what will happen to Lungus if he's wrong?"
Lord Fulff shrugged and said: "He'll be demoted to janitorial duties for 75,000 years. Seems like punishment enough."
Lungus gasped dramatically.
"Then with that matter being settled, let us begin the summoning!" Kinsley announced.
Everyone returned to their stations and prepared for the summoning.
Lord Fulff hopped to the control panel and pushed the activation button.

The Summoning Gate began to glow before spitting out a ray of light, which quickly dissipated, leaving behind eight human shaped figures on the ground.
"W-wait, it actually worked?!" Lungus exclaimed, nearly falling out of his hamster sized chair.
Lord Fulff began to hop excitedly. "Fantastic, simply fantastic! Quickly take each of them to the Dynasty Table room!"
As many hamster employees waddled to the human figures, Kinsley made her way to Lord Fulff and said: "According to the computer scans, we successfully summoned eight out of eight individuals from across a certain dimensions history."
"Read their names to me, please." Lord Fulff pulled out a carrot, but upone realizing that he didn't want to commit to eating a whole carrot, put it away and pulled out a baby carrot.
Kinsley nodded and said: "Right away sir. The names of the summoned are:

Ace Solace, the fastest being in their dimension.
Akla Ionas, a famous leader and hero within their dimension.
Evelynn Than, the infamous Warlord who nearly destroyed their dimension.
Gegalix Halcyon, a being unlike any other within his dimension. (Must be studied)
Kascidia Vesuvius, A princess hailing from The Planet Vesuvius.
Masonry Ironix, a skilled warrior who was born with outstanding abilities.
Bob, the most famous sunflower seed roaster in their dimension.
Feep, a Dodo. Nothing special about Feep, but the staff got to vote on the eighth summon and...this is what they chose."
Lord Fulff smiled as he said: "Perfect. Now the fun truly begins."
