Loose end?

KaiusC · 04-21-2010, 11:22 AM

Was there ever any explanation for what Dr. Swordopolis and Darko were actually up to? That is the one thing that I am left wondering about since the comic ended. Possibly they were just hallucinations that were without any relevance? Or were they trying to really work to lead the Light Warriors along this path so that Chaos would spawn and the Order of White Mages would take it out?

Or maybe they had entirely unrelated agendas that got delayed indefinitely when they both gave up because the people they were supposed to mentor were quite horribly incompetent. Any smart avatar would simply give up and Choose another One, someone more competent, and dump a "destiny" on him. And I think this is exactly what they did.

Someone in another thread said that Darko was basically trying to do to Black Mage what eventually happened to Sarda: Phlebotinum Overload him to the point where he could use the nexus of magic as a portal to bring Chaos into their dimension. Only BM got distracted by huge knockers... RM absorbed the datasphere, and Sarda ended up with the superpowered evil and the power of the orbs.

Swordopolis... I would assume was Darko's opposite number, trying to break Fighter out of his stupidity long enough to actually kill BM and prevent the summoning of Chaos. I think he gave up a long time ago, but we haven't heard ANYTHING out of either Darko OR Swordopolis in some time... don't know the exact count comic-wise.

All of that is correct.

Whoa. Dr. Swordopolis was trying to have BM killed? Weird. Why not kill Sarda? Sarda turned out to be the real issue. If Dr. S wanted BM out of the way he would have known sex was the answer.

Sarda was essentially Fate's way of completing the circle. Since BM couldn't do all those things, overload on power, and become the portal for Chaos, Fate (or rather, Brian as Fate) conspired to make sure it happened anyway.

I don't think even Swordopolis could have predicted that Sarda would become the portal for Chaos. Hell, Swordopolis probably counted on Sarda's hatred of BM to eliminate the threat for him, after Fighter proved to be unusable.

Is anyone forgetting about the blue robed old man who took all of Fighter's money way back at the beginning? I smell Black Mage growing old, time travelling and fufilling the closed loop paradox that 'wasn't' suppose to happen.

Awesome,that was really the one loose end I was curious about too.

Something that always bothered me was:

The Enlightened Warrior bringing about the End of Days thing.

Also also what Bahamut meant when he said "Do you think he'll see this coming?" to Raven I believe it was.

The caused Chaos to come into the realm of the living, that seems like the "End of Days" to me. Doomsday prophecies always forget to check a few minutes after the "apocalypse".

Also, to Sarda maybe? Not sure on that one. Maybe Darko? Screwed him over by giving BM a suckish power?
