18 : The Atlantians

This is a continuation of the previous story. Larna transports to New Arizona to find that everyone has been placed under the same brainwashed spell that the beauty contestants had in Los Angeles. Pypa and Drum are back. They travelled forward in time, instead of going to an alternative dimension. They have now decided to take people from New Arizona with them as well. Leaving the rest to kill themselves.

Pypa is the Queen of Atlantis. In her world, the only place that did not sink was the continent of Atlantis. The sea engulfed everywhere else. This left Atlantis as the only place still in existence. Pypa and her husband, Drum, have a weird fascination with beautiful people from other dimensions. They brainwash these people, then take them back to Atlantia, the new name for the continent, as trophies. The trophies are all kept in the palace, for the personal enjoyment and gratification of Pypa and Drum.

Pypa plays a mystical flute, traditional to her dimension and her home world of Atlantia. The flute brainwashes anyone in range. Drum plays the mystical drum, which accompanies the flute. The beat of the drum commands those under the spell of the flute to do whatever the husband and wife pair want them to do. From New Arizona they take twenty-one people, two thirds of them women. Larna cannot do anything to stop them, or chase after them, as the whole of New Arizona is turned against her. Two police officers arrive then…they have travelled from another dimension also to track down Pypa and Drum because they have stolen people from their world. Together the three of them travel to Atlantia to get their people back.

The King and Queen have complete control over Atlantia. The people have been brainwashed by the flute into doing anything that Pypa and Drum wants. They have set up slave camps in the city, which is where Larna ends up when the police are all killed. She managed to keep the dimensional portal control, but she now finds herself party to a slave market…and the harsh training those slaves must face, thanks to the King and Queen. Larna leads everyone in a rebellion…taking back the city that they once ruled. Larna smashes the flute…breaking the power that the pair had over everyone else.
