Batshit

Fire streaked through the air, propelled by hooded spell casters.

Ringo looked on as the flames ignited the thatched roofs of the village.

Meanwhile the villagers struggled with pails of water from the well in a hopeless attempt to combat the flames. A cry sounded throughout the village of such force that it rose over the flames. One of the villagers fighting the flames; not much older than manhood had touched the flame and was now alight. In that moment the Spellcasters averted their attention from raising the buildings to the boy caught in flame. The flames coating the boy responded by turning a bright amethyst purple much to the distress of the village with Ringo having to restrain a woman (presumably his mother) from diving into the flames after him.

Much to everyone's surprise and relief the purple flames died leaving the boy standing without a sign of being burnt.

"Mike" the woman cried, moving to embrace him, Ringo released her with some of the creases of stress on his face lessened knowing he was alright.

As she reached him, the boy refused to turn "Mike, what's wrong, we need to get out of the village the flames are rising"

"Silence" the boy announced, with a voice that was clearly not his own. "Go to your king and tell him that this has been a warning, relinquish the river lands and our war is over"

Then he turned. My lord bejessus had he changed. While his body had escaped unharmed his face had been charred to such an extent that his facial features were indistinguishable all that remained was a blackness. Although poking out of the mess that was his face were two bright amethyst eyes.

Then he raised his hand and pointed it at the crowd that had gathered "Begone thots" he announced.

"This is most un-Gucci" The woman cried at the figure

"I warned you thot" the figure replied then out of his hand tendrils of flames formed

"Yeet" he cried, the woman burst into flame, while she struggled to no avail against her doom; the flames spread herding the villagers from their homes.

Ringo Naruto ran for his life having to leave his friends John and George to the flames, although Paul, Brian and Al were with him Naruto running. When they managed to make the crest of the hill the flames stopped chasing them.

"Who are you?" Ringo shouted at the figure spreading flames below

"My name is ... Mike" with that he Kobed a few fireballs at them.

Forcing the gang to retreat further. However due to their Naruto runs this posed no issue for them as they dodged the balls of fire with ease.

"What should we do guys" Ringo began

"We need to get to the King to tell him what's happened otherwise who knows what might happen, if we let it be, it might be the end of us."

"Lets take the Yellow Submarine upriver to apple city, that's where the king sits" Al interjected

Brian had until this point been silent. "Guys what about when the river gets too shallow? We'll have to surf from their"

With mutterings of agreement between them at Brian's point they group dabbed and then Naruto ran with such speed that many miles were covered in minutes with the scenery passing in a blur. After much Naruto running they reached the river to the capital where the Yellow Submarine was parked. Thoroughly out of breath from the run they paused to dab before boarding

"Fuck me Paul, i'm not meant for Naruto running" Ringo exclaimed in between laboured breaths

"IKR!" Paul exclaimed back, himself recuperating from the run.

Notes from a Piano started distantly.

"What could that be?" Al said

"I'm not sure, but if we sit around dabbing any longer, we'll be sure to find out, lets go guys" Brian stated. However the music had gotten louder and then over the top of the valley a floating, singing figure came into view.

"Who tf is that?" Ringo queried

"Not sure mate, think it's Ray Charles?" Al replied. Everyone turned towards the floating figure, lines of stress etched into their forehead.

"Guys who's Ray Charles?" Paul asked

"Only the strongest Spell Caster Bieb Kingdom has" Brian replied

"Shit" Ringo said to which the others nodded in agreement

"I got a message" His deep honey voice soothing the gang to such an extent in that moment they would have done anything for Ray. While he paused for them to reply they couldn't respond such was his hold over them.

Snap out of it Ringo thought to himself. His voice has lead so many to yeet themselves from this world you can't afford to let him control you.

yet as much as he tried Ringo couldn't even stutter

"Now I have your attention, mighty Bieb and his second in command the majestic Mike Love have tasked me with fully fleshing out what you're going to say to your pathetic King"

"Y-Y-You d-don't con-trol us" Brian yelled with such a stutter, it only emphasised that Ray could do anything he wanted to them

Ray Charles boomed with laughter "you'll find I do. Anyway where was I"

"No" Brian yelled again

Ray Charles expression shifted in an instant from a relaxed gentle smile to one of pure fury. "How dare you defy me" He shouted.

He lifted his glasses to reveal two blazing embers for eyes. Rays beamed from his eyes "how do you think I got the name Ray Charles?" he laughed while the gang stood unable to defend themselves

As Brian, Al, Paul and Ringo closed their eyes and prepared for their last breath Ray smiled and with a wave of his hand the rays diverted towards the Yellow Submarine cleaving it in two.

"I hope that served as a warning to you all of what happens when you challenge me. I guess you'll have to hit the road now instead of taking the river" He laughed, his honey voice returning more powerful than last time to ensure they couldn't resist.

"For too long your King has sat on his throne, unaware of the changing world. Well I tell you his throne will be what kills him" Ray declared

"Is that a threat?" Al whispered every syllable having a sense of defeat etched into it
