They found the answer in a shadowstone cell where the once transgold chained skeletal remains were found of a most powerful vampirelord. In another was a curious entity of a vampirelady. The relationships, of such entities, were most peculiar and particular to Vampirekind's hierarchies. So it was no surprise to find other vampirelords, including infamous vampireknights, as remains.

Vampires had attacked the shadowstone structure, it was likely, to rescue captured high ranking members of their own kind. Semivampires, demivampires and subvampires had made up most of the force; with the lower being the class, the more common and powerless they were.

The more the Seekachampions examined the ZsazzasZ symbol, the more anxious they felt. Long suppressed memories threatened to stir and then they understood all together too clearly what they did not want to remember; ZsazzasZ had been created by the Shadagods but the Shadagods had been one of the Risengod Factions; that is not the Hardrisen or themselves as the Wiserisen but the Shadarisen. There had been 15 Risengod Factions that had splintered, altogether too neatly, into the Three Superfactions consisting of five factions each.

Sharry spoke out. “Such a straight forward story that was repeated across the Mortal Cosmos and beyond, perhaps even as far as the Celestial Cosmos but was it true? I do not think it was! No, it was part of trickery partly thought up by we so called Wiserisengods who were, as it turned out, not very wise at all. ZsazzasZ was the name of the cosmic conspiracy that we were part of along with the EverGods, the LittleCelestialGods, some of the Disadiskind and... those yet to clarify in our memories, if they ever do so. The conspiracy was to create a world where all of its members could do what they liked with out True Celestial interference or even fear of the Goddessgods.”

“What sheer fools we were but we were also manipulated by a far more devious, powerful and influential entity than most of the conspiracy members were; we were being used as expendable puppets and then a few of us were warned of the truth, given solid proof of it being true, and big trouble broke out. It was too late, it seemed, as ZsazzasZ went to war against the Goddessgods, except that a minority of we conspirators were secretly on the other side and then we attacked them in the 'rear', so to speak. We only wanted to force them to surrender. As for what happened, after that, those memories are yet to surface, if they ever will.”

For a very short time an aspect of the EverManipulator, of the EverCursed, stood there in a stinking, much stained, filthy white hoodrobe. He picked his nose and wiped the booger off on his robe. “So, you so called Seekachampions are finally waking up to the truth but you are not going to get out of the trap that one helped set for you.”

Then he was gone with the same kind of blurring effect that he had appeared with.

The flash, of rainbow energies, went through everybody and everything.

[One][Summary]

SeekateamA03 had found data confirming the conclusions that SeekachampionteamA01 had gained from memories being jolted awake in the shadowstone fort in a newly arisen Seekakeep Bubblezone. Except that their findings went further in that NewEarth had been the start of creating a world devoid of True Celestial Intervention. As the Seekar Foundation Network, the Wisengodfolk settled onto NewEarth's supercontinent of Centralia. They were situated, at first, only in the most southern part of it that was a subcontinent divided from the rest of Centralia by a west-east range of great mountains.

SeekateamA03 had the datacubes transshifted to Seekakeep where their fate would be decided.

SeekachampionA04, now part of Seekataskteam0401 that was there, moved through deep earthen depths; they were in a most difficult maze of cave-systems, artificial networks, ancient underground ruins and some more interesting places. In sunslab lit caverns people dwelt being mostly mannoids but there were also humans, semihumans, demihumans and some others outside of those categories. These peoples often did not even know that the Seekars existed though a few had met the Seekakeepers. That is the 'keepers of Seekasecrets'.

The new Seekataskteam04A1 showed up in Shazzantacca where it met with the EverWanderer.

Sacred Sublevel #1.9a held 10 small aerospaceships looking like sleekly delta craft. How would they leave Sacred Vault #1. The answer was on the plaques before each great display dome that stated that they could phaseshift and even teleport though the last ability was quite limited.

Sacred Sublevel #1.9b had the same grid, of very big display domes, as did #1.9a but inside each was a grey, metallic, elongated saucer of a craft. Unlike the aerospaceships, these were totally smooth, and featureless, on their exterior bodies. The Seekachampions looked upon them with grim admiration and painful part recognition for they were transmultidimensional craft that could travel in a transmultidimensional fashion; they were Risenwayshuttles of amazing capacities and that were very dangerous.

It seemed, at the time, that they had completed the exploration, and investigating, of Sacred Vault #1.

The Seekachampions gained the right to activate a Major Wishling as focused on all of Sacred Vault #1b. To it was added a great flash of rainbow energies that swept through out Sacred Vault #1b but did the effects go beyond that?

In the templecity, of Shazzantacca, STTA5A1 fought off crazed local humans effected mindwise but the crazy battle between Shadakind and Shadowkind. In the sky battled shadowdragons and shadadragons; they fought each other with terrible exchanges of elemental energies and closer up with fangs, claws and barbed tails.

While Shadowkind attacked all, including Antiseekars, the Shadakind attacked all but the Antiseekars now emerging in greater numbers in that templecity.

The two aspects, of the EverWanderer, had merged back into the one and now that one had the companionship of three EverFollowers and nine EverMinions; the three EverMinions, with bolstering energies from the EverWanderer, had each become three of their kind.

Ursullie had been there but, after speaking with the EverWanderer, her group had been sent to the EverSafeplace where they could rest and recover from the horrors that they had suffered from. The EverSafeplace was meant just for that purpose.

Shazzie, and Sagesmart, were sent to the EverSafeplace. for temporary refuge, just as others had been before them. Except they would meet those who had been safely, comfortably, productively dwelling there for generations that improved that realm and its purpose for existing.

The EverWanderer addressed the Seekachampions. “Ursullie stated that this version of Shazzantacca is not the real one. It was created, intentionally or otherwise, during the Doomsdays. There is supposedly another, better, version of the templecity where the elites still rule that supposedly abandoned this Shazzantacca! I am not sure of the truth of her beliefs as this realm feels real enough though unstable.”

He shook his head, as if trying to clear his mind. “While it might be real enough, was there ever an actual templecity called Shazzantacca when it came to the Shaztec Empire? Instead is it part of a solid illusion or even delusion? Who-what would have the power to create such...”

There was a flash of red lightening like energies through the sky. Something screamed, howled, inhumanly and savagely through the air. Sharp sounding words formed out of mid air. “Truth, what is truth but what the truly powerful make of it? You are weak!”

Sharry frowned. “Somehow the voice reminds me of we Seekachampions but a very malignant, even insane, version of us. Seekasecrets include Seekar crimes and, before that, a decision of the Wiserisengods, of the Risengods, to improve ourselves by purging ourselves of our malignance in what we considered an relatively easy way to do so. We did so by drawing it out of us and securing it into what later became known as the Seekanucleus for reasons long forgotten. We were quite unhinged at the time and anything but wise in our ways.”

The EverWanderer fired his weapon at a shadadragon and it disintegrated. “So you created a trap, of sorts, but just what did you manage to entrap there?”

Sharry frowned. “We do not know! I wonder, at times, whether we were truly in control of what happened when it did? Could 'another' have taken advantage of our vulnerable state, at the time, to manipulate us? It could have been done by a faction of enough cunning, experience and power!”

A statue collapsed into a shadowmimic of great size and strength only to be assaulted by three shadascorps.

When a Helpdrobe materialised locals were so frightened that they just retreated into it and into a 'bigger inside than out' refuge space.

Shimmy her triplecarbine, as it seemed to be, at a shadowmimic slithering up a wall that did not appear to be changing into anything. “Where did the Helpdrobes come from? Who-what made them arise and why? Clearly they have been very helpful but we Seekachampions did not have them appear and nor did Seekamind, as she informs us Seekachampions.”

The EverWanderer responded even as he wiped out a shadowdragon. “You Seekachampions are faced with a deep mystery that is yourselves.”

Sharry nodded. “Our Seekaquests are focused on us Seekars. Seekaquest #1 is to investigate the True History and Nature of the Seekars. Seekasubquest #1.1 is to investigate the True History and Nature of the Seekachampions. Could there be ways, here, to help achieve the goals of both of those quests?”

Note: Have completed redoing, hopefully improving, the whole story before this post but not totally with each chapter; have added at least two chapters. While some posts are totally rewritten, a few have very minor or even no changes except for the post and chapter numbers; warning, I know that the chapter numbers go wrong after a while but am too tired now to deal with it after a great effort of editing and rewriting. Most of the changes you will be able to breeze through, hopefully. Some details below:

Changes faithfully follow the same plot as before the changes were made.

*Changed acronyms such as, for instance, Sc13A1 to mainly words such as, in this case, SeekachampionteamA01.

*Strongborne Mercenaries removed only to be added much later, in current writing, but have already mentioned them though briefly so; I wanted the Strongborne Mercenary Cooperative to be more strongly represented as mercenaries alongside such as the Ironsides Mercenary Corporation.

*Changed Sacred Vaults so that the sublevels, in each level, are arranged differently in a 'transmultidimensional' fashion.

*Replaced K9herois with a stripercat named Striperra but K9Herois will soon be reappearing but more strongly so along with 12 others; the 13 have already been mentioned in the story as linked with the Treasury Vaults.

Too tired to think of other changes, for now, but if I think of any, in future, will put them here.

SeekataskteamA04A01 had gained androids, robodrones and robots through a Helpdrobe and other items through an aspect of LittleChestManif. In a great glowcavern, of glowslabs embedded in the ceiling high above, there was the smashed wreckage of a fortified outpost that bore the emblems of the Seekakeepers.

Sharry spoke. “There are no signs of death and there are ones that indicate that the Seekakeepers departed from the structure before it was heavily damaged. What we find here goes with the four long ago abandoned villages that we found. I would suggest that the Seekakeepers, villagers and those with them, departed together following that dirt road that is now in fairly poor condition.”

A mixed group of over 200 Folkies, mannoids and related type entities, had been moving along the road as refugees. With the mannoids were furbbies, furkkies and even furmmies that was even bigger than furbbies as they, at adulthood, were larger than furkkies. The furmmies carried bigger packs, the furbbies smaller ones and the furkkies even smaller ones.

There were goats, some pulling carts with supplies and others with those who could not walk. Some short, tough, cattle were there along with a handful of ponies of which most pulled carts. There were also dogs, cats, catmonkeys, chickens and a few other, smaller type, animals.

Now they were consuming food, drink and waterjellies given to them by the Seekars and other consumables as provided by the LittleChestManif; They had also gifted small gifts of hand-mirrors, candle-lamps with cool burning candles, survival knives, hand-axes, arrows, arrowheads, scissors, bandages and much else.

The refugee group came to a halt and SantaSa materialised, as a Seekagiver type Seekaaside. “Greetings, Seekars and wondrous LittleChestManif! I come with Giftcredit to spend but also an expanded menu with now new submenus including ones that are only available with permission from the Seekaasides Council. This time there are biobots of biomechanical robots and biodroids of biosynthetic androids. They are fully stabilised TypeC6s as greatly improved versions of the dangerously unstable TypeA01 and later ones right through to the troublesomely unstable TypeB9s. There are with them related, useful, equipment-supplies and some special items but you Seekers will manage them for only you have the capacity to do so at least until you do some training.”

Sharry nodded. “We Seekars will do what we can to add to enhance these gifts.”

So it was that SantaSa had materialise 12 biobotic horse drawn longboxwagons with two, powerful, biobotic horses to pull each one. There was a biodroid driver, and driver assistant, with each boxback wagon.

Four wagons would carry refugees, two service-supported the biodroids and biobots. two would carry their livestock, two would carry what ever else could fit in, one was divided into a kitchen and an ablutions area while the last was a service-support one; the last included a small workshop and medical clinic.

50 biodroids attended the wagons but at any time at least five would be in reserve bays and another five would be in serving bays. There were six biobotic horses in reserve bays ready to switch over with the active ones.

The biodroids were, in some ways, like simuladroids but there were also a few, important, differences.

The Seekataskteam managed to get 20 robocarts, being longer eight wheelers this time, for themselves and to help carry refugees, including animals, and their stuff. There were also plants and fungi greatly prized by those peoples.

After much organising, and the departure of SantaSa who vanished away, Sharry met with a mannoid trio of elders of a female matriarch, a male patriarch and a neuter tatriarch. With Sharry was Shimmy and Jhenna.

Sharry spoke. “Why are your people on the move?”

The matriarch spoke. “Shisslissa is my name! The Underlands are becoming most strange even by their standards, or at least those are that are too close to the black streamings that ruptured out from the Seekanucleus. The Seekanebulous is growing, the Shadakind are swarming, the Seekakeepers are trying to seal of the ruptures in the Seekanucleus. An army is being formed in Taskatanna. The strange templecity of Shazzantacca has appeared in the Seekanebulous. People await vainly for the Seekagods to come and assist us or at least to send Seekachampions.”

Shazzantacca!? Was it another version of Shazzantacca that Seekataskteam0501 had recently gotten to only to meet there the EverWanderer?

Sharry nodded, with a half smile. “We are Seekachampions along with our Seekacompanions. Where are we heading to?”

The dog type mannoid looked surprised. “The pale, tall, cold ones stated you would never come because you no longer cared for we Underlanders. They also bragged that they would destroy you if you dared to do so. They are not very consistent, scary but in some way they are pitiful. They are the Shazlords who once served the Shazgods as lesser ranking Shazgodfolk. What happened to the Shazgods?”

Sharry shook her head. “That is a long, complicated, story best told later and not helped that we Seekachampions have gaps in our knowledge, our memories, of those turbulent times. Now, where are you heading to?”

The ape related mannoid, of a patriarch, spoke. “We are heading to the citystate of Taskatanna as focused on the city of Taskatannatila. Many Folkies live there already and they are always ready to welcome more. Or so it is rumoured along the trade routes!”

Sharry nodded. “Who rules the citystate?”

The tatriarch spoke. “The Rainbowpeople of the Rainbowtree from which grows Rainbowspheres, Rainbowballs, Rainbowglobes, Rainboworbs, Rainboweggs, Rainbowcubes and Rainbowfruits. Or so it is said!”

The Seekachampions all felt the disturbing sensation run through them. Then came a tremor that ran through the ground. At their urging everybody, and everything, was soon packed away as that most curious convoy began to once more head along the road except now the only vehicles were robocarts and longboxwagons. There had been found ways to take all of the refugees' carts, larger livestock and other, bigger, items.

In the Risen Ziggurat the Antiseekars had vanished along with the dark presence that had empowered them more greatly. It soon was evident that, if they had attempted to get into the inner ziggurat, they had failed to do so; this came as no surprise for, even as former Risengods, the Seekachampions were finding difficult to do the same.

Local peoples were arriving at the ziggurat zone as the energy bubble expanded and its interior influence grew; it was to turn out that this was one reason that the Antiseekars, and the 'presence' had vanished but the damage done, to them, by the Seekachampions! The refugees were being made welcome and were soon adding productively to the Risen Zigguratdom as it would come to be known.

Seekataskteam0401 found doors, at last, that they could get through though others had failed to do so. They found, in a great multichamber, the same kind of mechanisms that served the doppelform Vaultsguardfolk in Sacred Vault #1. There were three of each, of the four same type mechanisms with the Vaultsguardfolk. They were a RRDMs (Reinforcement Resupply Delivery Mechanisms), three RFDMs (Return From Death Mechanisms), MHRMs (Medical Healing Recovery Mechanisms) and TEEMs (Training Exercise Entertainment Mechanisms).

There were also nine other mechanisms plus, to one side of all of them, was an RRT (Report and Request Terminal); the one, in Sacred Vault #1, had been in a different area from the Servomechanisms but in the same mainpost.

As for the nine extra mechanisms, they were identical to the mystery three as found in Sacred Vault #1. The Seekachampions had since found names for them being an ASSM (Auric Scanning Sensoring Mechanism), a SRDM (Special Reinforcements Dispensing Mechanism) and a MPTM (Mental Physical Testing Mechanism) but in this place there were three of each.

SeekachampionteamA01A01 activated the mechanisms and the terminal. The terminal responded and informed them, drily, that three total resupplies would arrive through the RRDMs along with three sets of reinforcements; the 3Dscreen showed a Hardrisen Faction Symbol and the voice did not give details to what either the resupplies or reinforcements, would be or when they would arrive.

SeekataskteamA01A01 settled down for a break, with them now being LittleChestManif as an honorary member. They had managed to explore all of the local folks accessible areas, of the ziggurat, that had not already been explored by the ogres and mannoids. Zigguratfolk, as they often called themselves, were already accessing the resources that that had been there though not always using them as yet.

An armoury full of zipdartguns, and related items such as zipdarts, had been found along with other items such as fatigues and PAASTs that neither ogres or mannoids could fit into. Clearly humans had once been there as shown by posters on the walls of what were known as the Zigguratguards; what had happened to them?

The mannoids had spoken of coming to the Sacred Zigguratdom and, for some unknown reason, being allowed to go through it. Then had come a smaller group of ogres being also migrants seeking new areas to dwell in. Except that they had existed in different realms, from each other, before entering the bubblezone for the bubble went down below being more than a dome. The new knowledge had come from Seekars discovered scrollbooks in a sideroom from a bigger chamber about half full of stored paraphernalia from the histories of both the mannoids and ogres. So why had they ended up being stored there away from where the Zigguratfolk lived their lives?

With a series, of short sharp sounds, capsules began to slide down out of the RRDMs, the RFDMs and the RRDMs. Every first, of three capsules, from had in them living humans while the other two held equipment-supplies as generally used by them. The humans were doppelforms that had been doppelformers. These were more enhanced, augmented, humans as was normal onin Doomsworld. They were, in the case of RRDMs, a mixture of guardsmen with secondary specialist skills but also more specialised ones such as commanders, medics and 2waycoms operators. From the RFDMs came a mixture including camp followers. From the RRDMs came other specialists with secondary general skills; they were such as sappers, field-doctors, scouts and explosives experts.

The newcomers automatically assumed that the Seekachampions were their commanders though this was so was not clear at the time. They would accept working, and living, with the ogres and mannoids but only because they were ordered to do so.

Slowly-steadily the capsules kept coming until they were moving outwards, through the Ziggurat, with Shimmy and Shanda leading them; this was to make their meeting with the other locals more peaceful. They would also introduce the newcomers to the other Seekars that were 'out there' though often still in the ziggurat.

The taskteam was relieved that those that arrived, in capsules, knew just what to do and how to do so. From the RFDMs began to arrive more camp-followers now including children but also animals, including the young of bigger types of them, plants and even mushrooms. Equipment-supplies began to be focused on camp-follower uses.

Sharry spoke to the newcomer supreme commander, a woman major. “The Zigguratdom is slowly-steadily expanding both above, and below, ground. You will be able to thus live with the others who were here and are arriving as refugees unless numbers, of incoming, become much too big; then you will do you best assist them to move on in the best state as possible. We have decided, as Seekachampions, to reveal a truth that previous to this that we have kept to ourselves; we are a faction of Seekademigods but we are also transmortals as celestialmortals.”

Major Shash889 responding. “We know that you are Seekademigods, and Seekachampions, for the knowledge has been planted in our minds perhaps by the Zigguratservonet. That is of the Zigguratservonet. The Zigguratservomind went insane and sent its Zigguratservovants to attack us. How they managed it, we do not know; we do know that the Zigguratservonet tried to save us. What happened, after that, well we do not know because it seems we, who were there, were dead. This included our animals and our cultivated farm stuff inside this great, self repairing, structure.”

What had prompted Sharry to speak the truth, of a subject that the Seekachampions were most reluctant to focus on, she could only conclude that it was the same, subtle, pressure that seemed to be motivating them to deeply investigate their past. If the Zigguratservonet had informed the doppelform humans, of the true status of Seekachampions when it came to their Seekagodfolk status, how had it learned of it? Seekagodfolk had had nothing to do with the Sacred Ziggurat of the Hardrisengods and so were not part of its past or was that even true?

The taskteam moved onwards as it hoped to find other, secondary, doors that the Seekachampions could open up more easily.
