Garfield and the labyrinth
Part 1: new to the neighborhood!
It was a beautiful day full of sunshine and joy, Garfield was whistling tunes while making some grilled lasagna. "It is beautiful day out, is it not, Jon Arbuckle?"
Jon Arbuckle nodded in agreements. "Yes, Garfield! It is beautiful!"
Garfield's phone suddenly came to life, getting a call from someone he has not heard of before. "Who is this?" Garfield asked with straight to the point additude.
"Oh Garfield! Please help us! Our son Toby has been kidnapped by goblins and our daughter, Sarah, has ran after them into a mystical realm of mystery and mischief! You must help us!" The couple cried with begging.
"I will save your children, but after words you must hire nanny." Garfield quipped as he hung up. He did not need address, for Garfield knows where they live just by his phones tracking system.
"Garfield, wait! You do not know what awaits you!" Jon Arbuckle said with worry's born from powers of clairvoyancy.
Garfield only smirked and said "I needed a vacation anyway."
He rode his car into the great wide nation, following the trail his phone gave off all the way to Washington Blvd.
He rode through the neighborhood, till he saw a house with a hovering portal above it. His phone even said that THIS was the place.
He walked into the house, a worried couple crying over each other could be seen on the couch. "I am here. Take me to where the portal is."
With a gleam of hope in their eyes, they led Garfield to Toby's room; strewn aside toys were on the floor, and the walls were being swallowed up by the portal. "It seems to have gotten worse..." The woman said with great worry.
"Do not be worrying, I will retrieve children and then plug dementional hole." Garfield said as he walked into the portal with manly stride, letting the realm engulf him into its land of bizzar and trickery.
He found himself on a hill, overlooking a great labyrinth and beyond its walls a dark castle. "So puzzles are in my way? That is okay, for I have my puzzle piece right here." Garfield said as he pulled out his desert eagle.
He walked to the door of the maze, punching it open and seeing the age old walls that bind the labyrinth. Inside he found skulls and trees, eyes of moss creatures. "Strangeness is truly abound here." Garfield acknowledged.
That is when the moss suddenly stepped out of the walls and formed into three figures of mossy violence. "WHAT!?" Garfield spoke, flabbergasted by the sight before him.
"You will not find what you seek, cat. You will die in the labyrinth." The moss men said in cold monotone voices.
Garfield aimed his gun at one of the moss men, putting a hole through its torso. "I am not one for gardening, but if I was I'd scrape you out of my garden!" Garfield quipped.
The other moss creature grabbed his arm and tried to peel his gun away, but Garfield grabbed its eye sockets, ripping its head off with ease.
The third one stood, looking at Garfield with its eyes and spoke in a singular monotone voice. "No matter how many of us you kill, you will not escape this place." The last sound it made was a thud to the ground after Garfield shot the moss man.
"I do not intend to run, moss man. But I am done tending to this garden."
Garfield continued his search for the children, turning each way into the labyrinth before finding a crying woman sitting by the walls. "Why are you crying, woman?"
She looked up from he'd tearful business to see a handsome man before her; his chiseled abbs and rugged good looks suddenly changing her mood. "I- I..."
"You must speak, girl! I have importance to seek!" Garfield said, grabbing the woman by the arms.
"I'm trying to find my brother, he was kidnapped by The Goblin King!"
"I am also seeking a young boy captured by this "king"," Garfield explained, "his name is Toby-"
"Wait, that's my brother!" She said with sureness.
"You are Sarah then? I expected another child, not beauty cakes like you." Garfield said with flirty tone.
"Thank you, but I have to find my brother before its too late!" Sarah spoke with distress for her situation.
"What do you mean "before its too late"?" Garfield asked.
"The Goblin King has given me only thirteen hours before he turns my brother into a goblin!"
Garfield hadn't realized that there was only so much time, but with this information, he knew what he had to do.
"Follow me, Sarah. And we'll get your brother out of this mad realm."
She stepped behind Garfield and he stood before the walls, smashing through them with his bare fist.
The might of his strength undid years of the labyrinths work, releasing inhabitants of the walls and making a quicker path through.
That is... Till he met two shield wielding warriors who sought to stop him. "Halt, Cat! You are breaking the laws of the labyrinth!"
Garfield merely looked at them, his gun ready.
"And you break the law most important of all: to try and stop Garfield, death is punishment!"
He shot at them, but their shields only absorbed his bullets. "Fool cat! Bullets are like rubber balls on a donkey to our shields!"
Garfield holstered his gun, and ran at them with his bare fist! Smashing through their shields as if they were tin cans. "But my fist are like hammer upon wood! I have had enough of your insolence!"
Garfield unholstered his gun, but it was hit out of his hand by the blue shield wielder, but with a sword as well!
"Do not forget your surroundings!" But Garfield did not need his gun to strike a killing blow!
He punched through the creatures face, his hand bursting through the back of the shieldsmans head.
Sarah gasped as the creature slumped to the ground, but its legs still on the ground. "Nooo!" Something screamed below.
Garfield looked to the red shields man on the ground, looking at his fearfull face. But realized that something else screamed, and it was not the other creature.
"You killed my torso brother! Now I must kill you!" The lower head yelled, flipping himself above its deceased torso and using it as a snakes lower half.
It kicked at Garfield, but Garfield blocked every attack with his hands. "It is strange sensation, playing pat-a-cake with feet." Garfield mocked his foot handed attacker, who merely snarled at him. "Garfield," Sarah shrieked. "Look out!"
Garfield turned around to see the red creature had his gun, and pulled the trigger. With Garfield's quick reflexes, he dodged the bullet and it hit his opponent, slumping to the ground with his torso brother.
Garfield grabbed his gun out of the creatures hand and pointed it back at the red shieldsmans' head, finishing him off.
The creature below him hid under the shield above him, but Garfield kicked it out of the way, seeing a shakey creature similar to its torso brother. "Please! Do not kill me! I will slither away and never return, strong cat!"
"You will not have to slither, friend." Garfield said, as he picked up the half corpse and threw it against a broken wall, breaking its neck. Garfield heard it still moving, pained breaths escaping its nose.
"You will walk with your brothers- into hell." Garfield killed him, the smoke rising from his gun like a cloud of remorse.
After holstering it, Sarah came over and cried into his shoulder. "Oh Garfield! Why did you have to kill them?"
Garfield gently but firmly pulled her off of him. "If I did not, then they would of killed us. Do not be fool and cry over spilt milk."
She stopped crying and followed Garfield through his deconstruction of the labyrinth.
And The Goblin King watched through his crystal ball, seeing his playground being torn apart by an athletic cat and the girl who seeks her brother. He watched with cautious eyes as his little goblin minions came over to see what the fuss was.
"Oh! My lord!" One of the goblins cried. "That big muscle bound cat is going to destroy us!" The Goblin King grabbed the goblins throat with great force, the goblin felt his life being choked out of him as he fought for release. But The Goblin Kings grasp was stronger then any feeble goblins, and he crushed the life away.
The other goblins watched as the lifeless corpse fell to the ground. "Now, without any cowering, go and stop this... Feline man, or I shall cast you ALL into the bog of stench."
The goblins ran with an act of bravery, but even a drunk could see it was a facade.
The Goblin King continued watching Garfield and Sarah traverse the sewers that led deeper, near that very bog of stench. He was about to smirk, but it was becoming quite apparent that Garfield might find his way to the castle...
The child below him cooed and giggled as he watched some of the goblins treat him to entertainment so juvenile. But he even laughed himself.
