Here’s the story, broken down by part by part:
Part 1
In an old-fashioned kingdom stationed on a small island on Earth, there exist some very troubled people. With the recent death of their king, a new, rather peculiar king has taken the throne. For unlike the other kings who watched over the kingdom and its affairs in the past, this particular king happens to suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder, and consequently, is insatiable unless his entire kingdom conforms to the theme of the number two in every way physically possible. That means two fingers on every hand, two toes on every foot, and two hairs on every head, among other oddities. Anyone who refuses to commit themselves to having two of everything is executed in a horribly torturous manner, cut in half, placed in two separate coffins, and buried in two separate holes, each of them two feet deep and two feet apart.
Furthermore, this new king has an enormous number of children, all of whom he has brainwashed in order to make them as obsessed with the number two as he is. He has given these children the privilege of being the kingdom's guards, and cracked down on perpetrators who refuse to obey him by stationing guards all over the kingdom. And to make things worse, anyone to tries to leave the kingdom will be promptly captured by a guard and prepared for execution.
The king's latest decree has ordered that all the kingdom's people undergo a massive surgical operation to transform their bodies in such a horrifying way as to satisfy his large-scale OCD. If this situation is allowed to progress, it won't be long before all the people of the kingdom are either executed or unwillingly transformed into freaks of nature who would be viewed as social outcasts in the eyes of the rest of the world. And with the massive amount of fear of being tortured the king has instilled in his subjects, all of them are sadly complying with his preposterous decree.
All of them...except for one brave man…
Part 2
On a nice day, the hero sets out from his modest-looking and old-fashioned home, with the intent to knock some sense into the king’s head by whatever means possible. Of course, he brings his weapons of choice (i.e. a sword, a gun, bombs, etc.) with him. As he goes over his plan to get to the king’s castle and argue for the rights of the kingdom’s people to not have the surgery demanded by the king, the guards that troll the kingdom spot him easily, since our hero has not yet had the aforementioned surgery. They, of course, rush to attack him. Fortunately, the hero has his weapons to deal with the attackers, and he prepares to fight while still making steady progress towards the castle.
(The attackers are based on the “small guard” in the character models. Since there are many of them, feel free to draw different guards in different colors.)
Part 3
As the hero makes his way to the castle, he hacks, smashes and shoots (among other violent actions) his way through several heavily armored guards while dodging their counterattacks. He ought to use a variety of attacks and killing methods, in order to keep things interesting. He can even have some close calls. But he’s got to still be in good shape after he’s done his killing because he eventually arrives at the castle gate, only to encounter yet another guard (the “large guard”), whose armor and shields seem to be impenetrable.
(The attackers are based on the “small guard” in the character models. Since there are many of them, feel free to draw different guards in different colors.)
Part 4
The large guard and the hero have a somewhat one-sided match, in which the hero unleashes his arsenal with all his strength. However, the guard is so large and strong that our hero doesn’t seem to have much of a chance against him. His attacks are deflected by the guard, who eventually gets tired of dealing with such a seemingly minor inconvenience. He knocks the hero over and is about to knock him out, but being a rather cunning individual, the hero begins a somewhat comedic and crude dialogue with the guard, which eventually leads to the guard leaving himself open for a devastating attack by the hero that brings him to his end. The hero is now free to take the guard’s gate key and proceed into the castle where he plans to confront the king.
Part 5
The setting now shifts to some distant region in outer space where two small alien ships (i.e. UFO-like objects, or whatever) containing two aliens each are sailing through the sky. (The ships should have a window or two, or some place to look out of.) The reader is allowed to hear the conversation going on in one of the ships, which focuses on locating Earth. The aliens talk (in English, to keep things simple) about needing a subject for some mysterious experiment that they wish to carry out, and make references to kidnapping a “native Earth creature” from wherever their ship happens to land. Shortly after, the aliens are able to locate Earth and they immediately set a course for the planet.
Part 6
Cutting back to the events taking place within the kingdom, the reader sees the hero progressing through the castle. But of course he encounters some difficultly along the way. Whether it be fighting more guards, or trying desperately to locate the king’s chamber, or something totally different, that’s up to the person who elects to do this part of the comic! But eventually, the hero should reach the king’s chamber, where he meets the king and his two wives. The chamber is actually more of a rooftop patio, with an adjustable ceiling. One wife is a beautiful young lady, while the other is a somewhat less attractive woman, the kind one might take to be a prostitute. The king immediately reacts to the hero’s presence, and the two quickly start an argument about the king’s decree that forces his subjects to have surgery just because of his having a mental disorder. The hero may even argue for a replacement king.
Part 7
As the argument between the hero and the king starts to really heat up, one of the characters in the king’s chamber notices something (i.e. seeing something flying through the air or hearing a strange sound) that indicates the near presence of some foreign objects, which turn out to be the alien ships first mentioned in Part 5. The quarreling between the king and hero settle down as the two spaceships land with whatever they are equipped with. After the spaceships land, and the characters in the king’s chamber wonder what the heck is going on, one of the ships opens up, allowing the aliens inside to quickly emerge.
Part 8
Shortly after leaving their spaceship, the two aliens initiate an attack on the hero, the king, and the two wives. (The aliens can use whatever weapons you can think of, but one of the weapons they use must be nipple lasers.) The hero and king then do their best to fight off the aliens while the two wives freak out and run for cover somewhere in the chamber. A rather bloody battle takes place between the aliens and the hero and king. During this battle, the hero and king don’t even think about their arguments and disagreements but instead focus on the fighting. (Of course, the king’s OCD comes into play here; his mental disorder is evident in his fighting style.) However, in the background of the fight, the other alien ship opens, and two more aliens emerge. They see the “beautiful young lady” wife mentioned in Part 6, and manage to execute a quiet kidnapping while the hero and king are distracted by the fight. As this part ends, they are seen dragging her back to their ship…
Part 9
After a bit more fighting, the battle that started in Part 8 comes to an end. It has gone well for the king and hero: in the end, they are in good shape, whereas the two attacking aliens are splattered all over the place. But just as they finish, they see the two kidnapping aliens disappearing into their ship with the beautiful wife. The orifice out of which the aliens first appeared quickly closes, and the ship begins to take off. However, the ship that belonged to the two now deceased aliens was conveniently left open. The hero and king promptly make a mad dash for the ship. Once inside, they manage to quickly figure out how to make the ship take off (perhaps through the use of a classic “big red button”) . The hero then takes the controls and steers the ship out of the castle and into the sky, trying as hard as he can to keep up with the alien kidnappers.
Part 10
As the chase continues, the king takes out a communication device (that is perhaps fitting for his OCD), and gets in contact with the head of the kingdom’s military. Declaring a state of emergency, the king demands that the air force (which consists of guards that look similar to the ones the hero fought earlier in the story) gets mobilized as quickly as possible. As the king continues his conversation, describing the situation, the hero continues to chase the aliens.
At this point, the comic cuts to the scene inside the ship of the kidnapper aliens. They have a conversation making references to the experiment mentioned by the other two aliens (both of whom are now dead). During this conversation, it becomes clear that the kidnapped wife is locked away in some other part of the ship (as opposed to being held in the cockpit of ship where the aliens are) and that the aliens need her for an experiment that involves… (the person who does this part gets to choose what!)
Part 11
The scene then shifts back to the ship being flown by the hero. Shortly after the scene shifts, the king looks out of the ship and sees the air force coming. The scene then shifts back to the kidnapper aliens, who have also noticed the air force. The king begins to yell commands to the head of the air force, (who isn’t flying one of the planes). However, before the air force head can communicate the king’s orders to the guards flying the planes, a mini-war of sorts breaks out as the aliens begin shooting at the planes with a now activated weapon (laser beam, etc.) that was built into the ship. In response, the air force begins shooting at the kidnapper alien ship, not knowing that the king’s wife is inside! Within the ship, the aliens start panics, and continue firing their weapons. But just as they start to panic, their ship is struck by a large projectile fired from an air force plane (a missile?), and it begins to fall out of the sky and back down to Earth, showing clear signs of damage (i.e. smoke pouring out of the ship, etc.).
Part 12
As their ship falls to Earth, the aliens activate a last-resort force field that surrounds the ship, which protects in from damage upon its impact with the ground. From the hero’s ship, the king sees the kidnappers’ ship fall, and he immediately goes into a crazed state, yelling that his beautiful wife is going to die (Why, oh why, couldn’t it be that other stupid whore instead of her?!). The hero nervously steers his ship in the direction of the falling one, and follows it on its way down.
Part 13
The kidnappers’ ship ends up crashing in a desert several miles away from the kingdom. The force field successfully protects the ship and its inhabitants from any harm; however, the damage sustained by the ship prior to the crash was enough to prevent it from taking off again. Shortly after, the crash, the hero lands his ship next to the beat up one. He quickly opens the door to his ship, gets out, and runs straight towards the other one. The aliens inside the beat up ship see him, and just as he reaches that ship’s door, it opens, and one of the aliens zooms out. The hero shoots the alien several times, until he is sure that it’s dead, but right after he does this, the other alien shoots the hero with some sort of alien weapon, paralyzing him.
Part 14
As the sole surviving alien is about to kill the hero, the king gets out of the ship and yells at the alien to stop. After summarizing the situation, the king offers a proposal to the alien: they will have a somewhat informal, but old-fashioned duel to settle their conflicts. The king first insists on having himself and the alien stand back to back. He then announces that each of them will take TWO paces, after which they will both turn around to face each other and begin shooting. The alien, confident in his quick reflexes and in his alien weapon, agrees. The king takes out a pistol and the two characters stand back to back. They start to walk, but after only ONE pace, the king abruptly turns around and delivers TWO fatal shots to the alien. Meanwhile, the hero’s paralysis has mostly worn off, and the king, satisfied with what he has done, helps the hero up.
Part 15
The king hurries into the ship and after a bit of searching, discovers the wife’s location and helps her out of the ship. After a somewhat emotional reunion, the hero feels that he is justified in asking the king for a reward, since he helped fend off the aliens and reunite the king with his wife. In response, the king says some long-drawn out statement which can be summarized as something like “Sorry, but I don’t think I’d like to give you anything. Also, you still need to get that surgery, so if, I were you, I’d…” as the king reaches this part of his speech the hero grabs one of his weapons and shoots the king in the face…
