Garion saw Torak. His imposing presence and Iron face. He looked as cruel as ever. His burning eye glowing red.

"Why me?"

Ax looked over the villains, then thought of something.

<How does this man expect to 'use' these villains? I don't know about any of the others, but Visser 3 wouldn't want to bow down to anyone, especially a human>

"These villians were intended to be soldiers for the government, but Dr. Katton didn't want it to be so. He was so engrossed in his stories, so involved, that he just couldn't hand over his creations to the government. So, the villians and the doctor made a deal. The villians would help him take over the world, so that the government would no longer have power, and the doctor would supply them with Kattos and knowledge of this world. But, like most books, I'm going to guess that the villians will betray him." Dr. Trang looked at both Ax and Garion.

"You both have good thoughts. Simply figments of a human's imagination. Sadly, that is the truth. Now, you may argue that you remember doing things, and you can actually do this stuff now, but that's simply because I programmed you to know that. I created those memories, and stored them in your mind. I did that so that you would have knowledge of your skills and how to use them. And as for you, Garion. Why would I choose you. Well, why WOULDN'T I choose you? You heroes are the only ones that were able to defeat these foes in your books! By bringing you to life, we can defeat the enemies.

"Hey baby, I'm perfect height ya' see. I gots a 'precious' that you've just gotta' try. My room's over..." Frodo pointed blindly, then collapsed unconscious.

He then mumbled, "Damn you Gandalf, sticking me with that no good backstabbing ho..."

OOC: If you can't tell, Frodo is REALLY drunk right now.

<I'm... only a character in a book? But, all my memories and knowledge are... fiction? This doesn't make any sense, how could this be true?> Luke thought, struck by what the doctor said. "I would like to see some of these books." Luke said, to stunned by the news to say anything else.

"I defeated Torak by luck and luck alone. When Aunt Pol made her choice the fight was decided. If she had chosen him, I'd have lost. I don't know if I could defeat him again. I wonder why, though, This Dr. Kotta didn't make Torak before he was burned by the orb?"

OOC: Couldn't Mr. Skywalker watch the movies?

IC: Frodo mumbled. "Damn you Tolkien...survive thousands of orcs and almost get myself killed...you repay me by sending me with a bunch of whiny hot elf chicks who don't like hobbits..." He hicupped.

OOC: That would work too, but only books have been mentioned, thus he asks for the books. Also, he could read books created after the Thrawn Trilogy situation and realize he is a book character.

(OOC: Actually, Ax is the only one who would definetly understand movies...did they even have movies in Star Wars? And how do you know Tolkien when we just learned that we are characters in stories?)

<I'm presuming that the little creature is a mistake from earlier experiments? And the way you describe it, the villains seem to be generals in the doctor's army...> Ax said, trying hard to not think about the confusing dilema of not actually existing before ten minutes ago.

OOC: In the books the idea is advanced, but yes, the have movies and such, although they are in 3-D. He wouldn't have a problem understanding a movie. And Frodo doesn't even know Tolkien wrote his books yet!

Luke was trying to deal with the fact that he didn't exist before and was simply some persons imagination, but he also understood that if this was all true, Joruus C'aboth had been unleashed upon an unsuspecting world, and he knew that he had to be stopped before he could twist the world into his insane vision of what it should be. "I don't speak for these others, but I know that I cannot allow Joruus C'aboth to exist in any world, and I will help you put a stop to these villian's plan."
