Cyber-Southwest: American Druidia

A Story by Abishai100

Can pre-calamity vision(s) of human/social sanity move a defiant 'legion' in the Southwest to distance?

A video-game inspired 'Earth-fable' with themes from Golden Axe (Sega). Enjoy,

Death-Adder seized control of the land of the American Southwest following the Alien Holocaust ('AH'), the trauma involving a terrible encounter on Earth with an insect-dragon intelligence from Mars called 'Xenomorph' who destroyed LA and DC before departing. The post-AH Earth was foreboding and piracy-typical, and Death-Adder was a true evil pirate and turned the American Southwest into his playground.

DEATH-ADDER: The scant roaming 'warlocks' of New Earth won't make heroines out of vagrants in my vision of power.

Amlan Satan and a band of defiant post-AH American Southwest gypsies prepare to topple Death-Adder using vigilante tactics and working as teams in spread-towns to steal bread and diamonds from stores now overrun by Death-Adder's paid minions who'll turn the pre-AH American 'Facebook-culture' memory into a haunting reminder of tribulations.

SHELBYE-LINN: I used to be a pre-Holocaust cop in Phoenix, but now I run with Satan's team in the Southwest to fight evil.

AMLAN SATAN: We've employed a new vision of an 'army of darkness' contending with the likes of Death-Adder against IQ!

AMERICAN REPORTER: Does this pale reminder of the pre-Holocaust work(s) of 'Hell's Angels' remind you of Christian omens?

DEATH-ADDER: Maybe this 'red-mask' unit of New Earth 'radicals' manage to cast themselves as martyrs, but I hate dodge!

After a major blood-diamond silo in the post-AH Southwest is hoodwinked, with treasures replaced with toys, it's clear to the defiant legions fighting Death-Adder's 'pirate-machine' that they may win this unlikely 'crusade' to preserve/restore some form(s) of human/social dance.

DEATH-ADDER: If I lose this 'silly' war, I'll anticipate a rather 'funny' rendering of my visage in the 'annals' of Facebook-profs.

When it's discovered that Amlan Satan had found a way to poison Death-Adder's gourmet lunch at Salk-Cali, veiled/disguised as an 'underworld chef' smuggling diamonds, there's a great post-AH celebration in the Southwest, and Amlan Satan is crowned as triumphant prince-warrior, and Shelbye and his allies/friends/lovers create a new vision of post-AH science(s).
