Warehouse
Thank you Shelby the Hedgehog for reviewing the first chapter! I hope to get more reviews/reviewers as time goes on, so please R&R and enjoy!
Eddy hauled himself off the floor, limping over to Double D, who sat rubbing his ankle. "Where the heck are we Sockhead?"
"I honestly haven't a clue," replied Double D. "Though I doubt this is the monster's stomach."
Rolf squinted his eyes, trying to gaze past the darkness. "Rolf's eyes cannot see a thing. This darkness is thicker than the hair on Nana's back!"
Jimmy clamped onto Sarah, shaking in fear. "I don't like the dark! Hold me!"
"Don't worry Jimmy," replied Sarah. "I'm sure there's a light here somewhere."
As if on command, a TV flickered on, showing static for a moment before a puppet with a white face and red swirls on his cheeks appeared on the screen. "Hello kids. I'd like to play a game." The kids screamed at the top of their lungs, hugging their friends close.
"I-I thought that was just a movie," stuttered Kevin.
"I don't wanna be in one of Jigsaw's traps!" shouted Nazz as she grabbed Kevin around the waist, though he was too frightened to realize.
A male with spiky purple hair and glasses laughed ceaselessly as he tossed the puppet aside. "Haha! I got you guys good! Don't worry, this isn't one of Jigsaw's traps." His face suddenly melted away to sternness. "But seriously, if you don't complete this challenge, you're gonna die."
Jonny gulped nervously as he hugged plank tighter to himself. "Okay, what's the challenge?" The lights suddenly flickered on, brightening the vast room. They were in some sort of warehouse, wooden crates flooding the area.
"Somewhere in this room is a five digit combination to the lock on the door," explained the man. The kids looked behind them to see a large lock clamping the door shut. "You have twenty minutes to find it or the room's going up in flames!"
Jimmy screamed in a high pitched wail as he grasped Sarah tighter, causing her face to turn blue. "I don't wanna die! I'm to young and handsome!"
"How the heck are we gonna find a combination in here?' spat Eddy. "This place is huge! How many box are there anyways?"
Ed pointed at one of the crates. "One…two…three…" Eddy smacked him over the head.
"That was a rhetorical question Monobrow!" shouted the smaller kid.
"Um, you do realize your twentry minutes started, like, thirty seconds ago, right?" asked the man. "Have fun!" The screen went back to static before shutting off.
"Okay, let's split up!" said Kevin. "Everyone go in a different direction!"
Jonny quickly ran towards a box to his right, kneeling down beside it. He was about to tear it open, but stopped to listen to Plank. "But Plank, I have to open the box to find the combo!" He waited a second as Plank said his defense. "What? That piece is your cousin twice removed?"
Eddy and Ed had run in the same direction, much to Eddy's delight. He wasn't looking forward to breaking open all of the boxes, but he knew Ed wouldn't have a problem.
"I'll open this one," said Eddy. "You open the one over there!"
"Roger Eddy!" replied Ed before running over to one of the crates. He ripped the wood off the side of it with ease, smiling at what laid inside. "Cool…buttons!" The monobrowed Ed quickly pressed the green button on the remote control.
"Stupid box!" growled Eddy as he kicked it. "Open already!" The crate above him opened up, a boxing glove attached to a spring striking him in the face.
Ed, unaware of what happened, pressed the blue button. Eddy rose to his feet, only for a metal rod to strike him in the back on the leg from another box, causing him to fall on his back. "Oww! Where the heck did that come from?"
"What does this one do?" asked Ed as he curiously pressed the orange button on the remote. A sheet of metal plummeted from the ceiling, crushing Eddy from the neck down.
"Okay…I'm hurt now," replied Eddy.
I think it's broken," Ed replied to himself before chucking the remote behind him, smacking Eddy in the face.
Jimmy went into a boxer-like stance as he stood in front of one of the crates. "I'm gonna bust this thing open like birthday present!" He struck the box with a right jab, causing pain to shoot up his wrist. "Owie! I think I pulled something!" He looked over at the crate to see the side of it fall open, revealing a doll with long blonde hair and a red dress.
"Hello, I'm Happy Hannah!" replied the doll, her lips not even moving out of her cheery grin. "And I'm gonna rip your face off!"
Sarah grabbed the side of one of the crates, ripping open with a forceful tug. "Wow, all these years of clawing my brother has really paid off!" She took a peek inside, only to leap back as a mutant goldfish flew out, hovering at her. Grabbing the wood she tore off from the crate, she brought it down on the monster, crushing it like a fly. "That's like something out of Ed's comic books!"
"Saraaaaaaaah! Get it ooooooooff!" Sarah looked to see Jimmy racing down the aisle, a doll clamped onto his face. Unable to see where he was going, he ran right into one of the boxes.
"I'm Happy Hannah!" exclaimed the doll. "And I'm gonna paur liquid nitrogen down your eye sockets!" The young girl quickly grabbed Hannah and threw her to the ground before stomping on her repeatedly. "I'm Sarah and you're gonna pay for hurting Jimmy!"
Meanwhile, Nazz and Kevin stood back to back as they were surrounded by what looked to be three sharks with the legs of a body builder.
"Who the heck makes these things?" asked Nazz as she went into a karate stance.
"I dunno," replied Kevin as he cracked his knuckles. "But they creep me out!" One of the shark creatures charged at Kevin, only to receive a punch in the gut from the boy. Kevin delivered a left hook, smashing the shark thing in the nose.
"Nice one Kevin!" replied Nazz before ducking a kick from one of the other shark things. Grabbing it by the leg, she swung it into a pile of crates.
Meanwhile, Rolf panted with exhaustion as he pried open yet another box. "Fortune is not on Rolf's side today." The foreigner got his hands up just in time to block the assault from a half badger-half robot creature. "Vile creature, release Rolf!" He grabbed the beast with one hand, chucking it across the warehouse.
Kevin feel to the ground, holding his aching ribs as Nazz hurried to his aid. The final Shark thing was much strong than the first two.
I dunno how much longer I can put up with this," groaned Kevin.
"Don't worry Kevin, I'll take care of him," replied Nazz. She never got the opportunity to do so as the robotic badger crashed into the shark thing, knocking the two creatures out cold.
Double D continued to walk slowly past the rows of crates, opting to avoid contact with any of the strange monsters. Ten minutes had gone by and he had not even opened one crate. "There's something odd about these boxes, I just can't put my finger on it. He stopped at one of the rows, examining it briefly before the answer popped into his head. "I have to tell the others!"
The kids sat together in the middle of the warehouse, crestfallen with their lack of success. They knew their time would be up soon.
"Rolf did not know he was going to meet his Great Nana so soon," replied Rolf as he hung his head.
"Hey Eddy," said Ed. "Do you think I can be reincarnated as a chicken?"
"Ed, I need your assistance!" The group of kids looked up to see Double D running towards them.
The sock-headed kid finally came to a stop, panting heavily. "Ed…I need you…to give me…a boost." Ed quickly grasped Double D's arm, tossing him high into the air. Double D flailed oddly as he looked around the room before Ed finally caught him.
"It's just as I suspected!" exclaimed Double D. "My theory's correct! Don't you see? The combination isn't in the crates, it is the crates! They're stack in the form of different numbers! 5, 7, 2, 3, 1!" The kids cheered happily, patting Double D in the back and offering high fives.
"Nice work sock head!" said Eddy as he dashed to the end of the room. The kids quickly followed the short kid as he nearly ran into the door before grabbing the lock, turning the dial to the appropriate numbers. "Okay, 5…7…"
"Eddy, we have less than ten seconds!" shouted Double D. "Please hurry!"
"2…3…" continued Eddy. "And one!" The lock gave a satisfying click, allowing Eddy to remove the lock before ramming past the door. The kids immediately hurried out of the warehouse, cheering loudly once more for their success. However, their celebration was cut short as theyfound themselves in a dimly lit room filled with computers.
"Oh great," muttered Eddy. "Now where are we?"
"Hey little bro."
