svogthos was fuming. him! svogthos the iron fist! imprisoned! imprisoned like a common criminal! svogthos was one of the wanderers a race of moon sized beings that prowled the cosmos devouring other celestial creatures, spaceships and occasionally each other. svogthos was one of the most powerful until a few of the others got nervous and decided to take action. when earth was just a ball of molten rock they took him by surprise and imprisoned him in the core of the nearest unformed planet. which unluckily enough was earth,

he had tried to get out repeatedly but had failed every time and caused several "natural" disasters in the process. he almost got out one time during the bronze age and the sight of his dark red head the size of a cube van eventually led to the idea of satan and hell. through the ages the effects of svogthos's escape attempts echoed around the world: huge volcanoes in russia and the netherlands, earthquakes in the usa and australia, heat waves in africa and india and in several places in the middle east large craters with nothing visible to have caused them. and then in june 2203 svogthos got his chance in a rather unexpected way.

harrison kintsville was a young businessman who had hired a team of engineers and geologists to drill a hole to the center of the earth! on that fateful day harrison set of fireworks to signal the start of the drilling. the giant contraption (for there is no other word to describe it) began to drill a hole roughly fifty meters wide. which unfortunately for the rest of mankind was the exact width of svogthos's arm.

deep underground svogthos stopped ranting and listened. there was a low rumbling coming from somewhere in the earth's mantle. svogthos started to get exited, this could be his ticket out of here! he began to dig towards the sound. about twenty minutes later he reached the sound, or the sound reached him ,whichever. the metal contraption vaguely resembled a drill, but svogthos didn't know what a drill was. all he knew was that it giving him a way out. he grabbed the drill/contraption and pulled from both sides at once, the thing ripped apart like tinfoil. he discarded the remains of the machine and kept going widening as he went. when he reached the surface and stuck his hands through the people watching generally turned and ran. but not harrison, all harrison could think about was seven years of his life and billions of dollars torn apart like rice paper.as such he was the only person to see what happened next svogthos got a good grip on both sides of the hole and pushed with all his might. and all his might was enough to tear a crack in a large part of north america. when the hole was wide enough for him to fit through he positioned his feet and pushed. now while he was launched forward the earth was launched backwards. svogthos didn't notice but the earth eventually spiraled into the sun ending our warlike ways forever. which is not necessarily a bad thing. "now" roared svogthos "there will be a reckoning". the rest as they say is history.
