My Newest Short Story

Alright, here's the deal. I'm going to write a story, and you will all marvel at its brilliance.

Cagim. City of Magic. In the beginning of (insert century here), Shinza was a very popular place to live, as everything there was done magically. After all, it was the City of Magic. Cagim had an enemy, though. Magic threatened the labor industry. Who needs labor when one can snap their fingers and the job is done? The labor industry thus began secret undermining attempts to destroy Cagim and all of its knowledge on magic.
The labor industry's underming attempt was called "DAMN", or "Destroy All Magic Nonesense", which is where that word originated. DAMN was very stupid, however. They sent spies into Cagim who couldn't even fake knowing magic. In just a matter of days after DAMN's formation, its very existance put into danger.
A DAMN spy was captured when he tried to infiltrate the Library of Alexandria II, made after the first Library of Alexandria was destroyed. Using magic, the mages of the Library of Alexandria II found out about this secret attempt to destroy Cagim and all of it's knowledge from the spy. The Mages of Cagim were not worried, though. How could a labor force take down the most powerful men and women on the planet?
DAMN's failed attempt at sending a spy in the Library of Alexandria II made them realize something very important: They could not win this unofficial war through secret sabotage. They began planning a full scale assault. They would attack and encircle the city and then proceed to destroy it with their main weapon: fire. Unfortunately, they did not realize that Cagim knew of this plot.
Cagim mages found out about this plot from the spy, whom they had converted into one of their own and he in fact became a double-spy, and began summoning mythical creatures to aid them in their quest. From griffins to dragons to the three headed dog Cerberus, the mages summoned for three days an army big enough to destroy the labor force. As an extra slap to the face of their enemy, they also made the city float hundreds of feet above the ground so that they could not touch it with any of their weapons.
The day of the attack approached, and DAMN began their march towards Cagim. When they got there, they were greeted by a very large hole where Cagim should have been. Suspecting there must have been a very large explosion due to some unseen force, they celebrated at their victory. As they were celebrating, though, Cerberus rose from the giant hole. This signaled the army of griffins, dragons, hypogriffs, faries, zombies, elves, goblins, and many other mythical creatures to swoop down from the sky and bury up from the ground to attack DAMN. Within moments, DAMN was reduced to ash, and then that ash was eaten by the zombies. Cagim floated back down and the army was paid and dispersed until called unto again.
Cagim would have been a very prosperous city if only the arrogant mages hadn't made the mistake of summoning a meteor instead of summoning a meter. The newly summoned meteor came falling from the sky, as large as a small island, and utterly dessimated the city and all surrounding area for hundreds of miles. In fact, the damage was so immense that the area became part of the ocean, sinking down where it was never heard of again.

The end.

I pride myself in writing that in 5 to 10 minutes.

I like it. Very funny and extremely creative. Post it on this website:

www.fanfiction.net

I know it's not fan fiction per se, but I believe that they have sections for original fiction. If not, you can just post it under the "Fairy Tales" section.

Anyway, that's enough of my ranting for now. Mission: Impossible III ROX!
