MONSTER FLU
Chapter 3-Final Flu Fight
Inside of their cave, Moo and Lilim were only too elated. Moo was saying: "We've done it! Now all we have to do is find the ideal place to rule, and get the proper means with which to make sure that rule takes place!" "Indeed!" Lilim smiled. "And the good thing is that no one can stop us, not to mention we should have no trouble finding those resources! Especially when I do to all other monsters in this world what I did to the rebels!" "Yes, and we are to get started as of now. Follow me, Lilim." Moo said. They walked out of the cave and Moo used his gem to see to it they could find a proper place. Once he found something satisfactory, he said: "Ah, this is ideal for where we shall rule over this world. We must go there and gather all the resources we'll need, along with anything else." So he teleported Lilim and himself there.
Meanwhile, back in the village which Genki, Holly, Nina and Holly's father had returned to with the flu infected rebels, things were getting more difficult for everyone by the second. In spite of how it had been told what happened and the bunch of them were immediately brought to the best doctor in the village and put in hospital beds, their flu was really getting to them, not to mention the way the doctor and his assistants tried hard to find a way to treat the illness, but, true to form, it was a flu they could not even begin to find or create any kind of medicine for. Worse yet, the knowledge of how they couldn't hope to even get up, let alone stop Moo or Lilim, in this state did not help matters at all.
"AAAAAAAAAAA-CHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOO!" Big Blue sneezed. He shook the bed built especially for him in the process. Golem, who was also in a bed built especially for him while everyone else besides him and Big Blue were in normal beds, sneezed even harder. "A-A-A-AAAAAAAAAAAA-CHOOOOOOOOOOO!" Even being built especially for him, his bed still nearly gave way. Coughing and sneezing horribly, Hare was alarmed he was even able to breathe once, let alone enough not to pass out. "Man, we should have known Moo and Lilim wouldn't have tried the direct approach…" Holly sighed as she brought hot bowls of soup to her monster friends. Tiger spoke for them all as he said: "Thank you…Holly…" and they drank the soup down, though it hardly made any difference, as they kept coughing and sneezing just as rapidly and profusely as they'd been before after finishing it.
"God, there has to be SOME way we can help them!" Genki said. "We can't just give up!" "As good as it is of you to try…ACHOOOOOO…and help us, Genki…" Gray Wolf said, "we are dealing with an illness of Moo's making which never existed until he created it." "Oh, I know," Genki said, "but I refuse to give up, especially with you guys so under the weather, and with what's at stake." "Wait, Holly…" Suezo gasped, before going: "ACHOOOOOOOOO!" He then continued: "Maybe your magic stone might be able to at least make some kind of…of medicine…ACHOOOOOO!" "Any of your modifications have to do with what should be that which is…ACHOOOOOOOOOOOO…impossible?" asked Pixie. "Well," Holly said as Nina comforted Gray Wolf and Hopper with a hug, and Genki did the same to Mocchi and Tiger, "I did change it so that it can read problems and come up with a solution of sorts for them. I could try that!" "Please do…and hurry…ACHOOOOOO…we have to stop Moo…" Golem let out.
"And Lilim, as well…" added Big Blue, "especially since God knows what they might be doing right now! ACCCCHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" "Okay, I need a pitcher…" said Holly, and her father quickly grabbed one. "Here you go." he said. "Thank you, father." she replied. "Nina, Genki, get these guys some nice, hot, calming tea while I make the medicine, if I can manage to." They nodded and went to the doctors to request exactly that. Calming, hot tea. While they were doing it, and while the nine rebels were still sneezing their lungs out, with poor Hopper going: "Hopper hate this…HA-HA-HA-A-A-A-A-AAAAAAAAACHOOOOOOO!" and Mocchi saying: "Chi…Mocchi hate being sick, Chi…AAAAAAAAACHOOOOOOO!" "Tea is on the way. And so is what we hope can serve as your medicine. Just hang in there." Holly's father said. "It better serve…as our medicine…" Tiger gasped out. "It's our only…hope against…Moo and Lilim now…AAAAAAAAAAACHOOOOOOO!"
Hare then said: "Always have to…ACHOOOO…state the obvious, don't you, Tiger?" "Shut up, Hare", Tiger snapped back, "or I'll…ACHOOOO…sneeze on you for my next ten sneezing sequences!" "I can't…ACHOOOO…believe you guys." Pixie remarked. "Even when we're laid up as hell and…ACHOOOOO…the fate of this world is at worse stake than it's ever been…you still try and put…ACHOOOO…each other down with put-downs…ACHOOOO!" "It's all right, Holly looks to be…ACHOOOO…done." Gray Wolf pointed out. "So I think she's about to bring us our…ACHOOOO…medicine…" "Or the closest thing to it I can make." Holly explained. She was carrying a special green liquid in her pitcher now. "I had my magic stone read what you had come down with, and I guess this green fluid is the closest thing to a cure, or at least, something to combat the virus, it could produce! Hope it helps sufficiently!"
"It better, because otherwise, the world is doomed…" Pixie stated. So she was handed the pitcher to first by Holly, and drank her share. Then she passed it to Tiger, who drank his portion. This continued until everyone had taken the amount they needed, and by the time all had drank down their required medicine, the pitcher was empty. "Well, how are you guys feeling?" "On the one hand, we're still sick." Gray Wolf replied. "On the other hand, we at least feel revitalized enough so that we can fight Moo and Lilim." Big Blue said as everyone got out of bed. "And we have to go fast, because God only knows…" began Tiger, but then Genki, Holly, her father and Nina were suddenly teleported out of sight. "So, Holly managed to find a way to combat the flu I bestowed upon you and make you capable of fighting once more despite still being ill, did she?" Moo asked as his image came out of his gem in front of the rebel monsters. "Then let's see if you can help her and her fellow humans now! You have six hours to get to the Temple Of Devilry, the new place Lilim and I intend to live in and rule from, and unless you make it in time and then defeat us, Genki, Holly, her father and Nina become the first victims of our conquest! Come try and rescue them, if you dare! !"
"Oh, we dare, all right!" Tiger snarled. "You can't! It's another trap!" a doctor protested. "And you aren't well yet, either!" added a villager. "No, but there isn't time!" Hare said. "Chi! We got to stop Moo and Lilim and save Genki, Holly, her daddy and Nina, Chi!" Mocchi put in. "So this is only way to do this." Suezo said. "But they'll spray you again, and you'll die!" cried a girl. "Even with the medicine Holly made for you combating the flu!" a boy added. "We'll make sure they don't get a chance to use it on us or any other monster ever again." Big Blue spoke. "In the meantime, we have friends to rescue and a world and future to save!" Pixie proclaimed as the nine monsters took off to confront Moo and Lilim at the Temple Of Devilry. And indeed, that is where Moo and Lilim had been teleported to when you last saw them, and Moo was now on that dark, evil temple's throne, with Lilim at his side, and Holly, Genki, Nina and Holly's father all shackled on a wall behind them. It was a horrible place, with many weapons on the walls, evil being statues and torture devices, plus evil versions of things you'd find in a regular temple and palace. Along with death traps.
"I wonder when the monster rebels will be here to meet their final fatal flu fate?" asked Lilim. "I know not, but given their determination in my telling them what was going on, I'd be less than surprised if it were very soon." Moo stated. "So I hope you have that gauntlet at the ready. We need to make sure to spray them a second time and see them destroyed once and for all before they have a chance to attack us." "True, that." Lilim said. "By the way, I'm going to be using this thing a lot in the future." She looked to her gauntlet to make her point. "You know, on all other monsters, traitor to us or otherwise. So what I'm wondering is, should we start with Naga and Gali? After all, they WERE members of your Big Bad Four, along with the already infected Gray Wolf and Pixie. Wouldn't that be fitting to start with them, then?" "I would most approve of that, and they most deserve it. So yes, you will start with them." Moo replied.
"The only thing you two are starting with is downfall and death!" roared Tiger as he and the other eight rebels entered the Temple Of Devilry. "Let's get them and send them back to where they came from!" "Chi!" Mocchi shouted. The bunch of them were much more ready for what was to come this time, as they knew from the sight and sound of this place there'd be a lot of killer weapons, torture machines and death traps. So Golem and Big Blue smashed the floor with their fists to knock Moo and Lilim down, then they did their tornado attack moves to make sure several of the traps, weapons and devices got destroyed. Tiger and Gray Wolf used their ice, lightning and wind attacks, along with their speed and skill, to destroy more of these, and it was Hare's dragon punches and dragon kicks, Mocchi's Mocchi cannon and blossom cherry blizzard and Pixie's various lightning bomb, lightning zap and fire forcefield attacks which ensured not a one of the rebels got injured, but all their dangerous, mechanical opponents were destroyed.
And those which were not taken down thanks to all of this? They were taken out thanks to the teleporting and tail attacks of Suezo as well as the hopping and blasting attacks of Hopper. Soon enough, even the throne Moo was previously sitting on was destroyed by the big, pounding fists of Golem and Big Blue, and Tiger and Gray Wolf howled in triumph, while the four humans who were shackled to the wall were filled with hope and elated about this simultaneously. "OUR TEMPLE!" Lilim exclaimed as she saw what they'd done. "But it matters not!" Moo told her. "We will rebuild it with my gem, right after you give them your second demonstration of what a sick bitch you are, that is!" "Ah, but of course…" Lilim smirked. Then she stood up, along with Moo, and said to Tiger and Gray Wolf: "Howl all you want, you furfaced fuckholes! I've got you right where I want you!"
As she pointed her gauntlet of a Monster Flu spraying blaster at the nine rebels in front of her, Pixie exclaimed: "NO! You are not going to use that again!" "Oh, yes I am, you traitorous wench." Lilim told her. "And your demises will just be the beginning." "She is going to use this on all other monsters in this world to make them our servants and slaves." Moo stated. "And it'll start with Naga and Gali, since they, like you and Gray Wolf, are traitors who were once my Big Bad Four." "And don't think we won't be able to find them, no matter where they are, either." put in Lilim. "After all, Moo's got his gem, which made all of this possible." Moo held the gem out and said: "It will easily allow us to do exactly as we plan, and its limitless power, so long as I make sure to know when to rest between intervals, will see to it I conquer all as I would have in my previous life had it not been for the likes of you!" "In your fiendish, nightmarish dreams, Moo!" Tiger growled. "Everyone, dispose of those doomsday devices, and make sure to do so in a way that disposes of their owners!"
So it happened like follows. Lilim shouted: "Kiss your sorry asses goodbye!" and let loose a long spray at the rebels, but Pixie made her fire forcefield go up to block it, then Suezo teleported behind Lilim and whacked the gauntlet off of her hand with his tail. "Say goodbye to your gauntlet!" Suezo shouted. "ASSHOLE!" Lilim shouted as she blasted Suezo into the wall where the four humans were shackled with a lightning blast from her finger. "You whacked off my fucking gauntlet!" "And now we're gonna get rid of it!" Gray Wolf shouted as Big Blue did a tornado attack and sent the already flying gauntlet flying even faster. Gray Wolf blew ice breath onto the gauntlet blaster and froze it solid from the inside out. After that, Tiger yelled: "Torpedo attack!" and blasted lightning from his horns, hitting the frozen, gauntlet shaped ice block dead on and shattering it into countless little pieces. They went all over the place, and Lilim shouted out: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MY BEAUTIFUL GAUNTLET!" "And that will be the least of your troubles, bitch!" Pixie shouted as she flew right at Lilim.
She took hold of Lilim and yelled: "Though my fire shield blocked the Monster Flu spray you unleashed at us, some of it hit the floor where it was! I know just the one to soak it up so not a single rebel touches it by mistake! Taste of your own medicine, you blue broad! This is for the way you sprayed me in the face!" She tossed Lilim straight into the remaining drops of Monster Flu liquid and Lilim's entire body hit them, making them disappear from sight and existence. In the next instant, Lilim flew up to the sky and screamed: "ERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" as she knew full well she was a goner and nothing could save her. The Monster Flu took its toll, and as it permanently vanished from existence, so did Lilim. The fact the infected Pixie and Suezo had made physical contact with her only added an extra kick. She turned to a Lost Disk, and that Lost Disk quickly got stomped to dust by Golem. "Nice job, Pixie!" called Hare. "Chi!" Mocchi added. "One down, one to go!" put in Suezo. "Only you will be the only ones to go!" Moo said in a menacing tone as he walked towards them. "For despite your destroying first Lilim's blaster of Monster Flu and then Lilim herself, I still have the gem which enabled me to come this far, and I will not allow you to ever defeat me again, least of all now!"
He held out the gem and began to charge up its vast power, but then Tiger said: "That thing is going to hell, Moo!" Gray Wolf added: "Just like you are!" "Mocchi Rose Petal!" let out Mocchi, and he made it come down on Moo to confuse him just long enough for Hare to yell out: "DRAGON KICK!" and kick the gem out of Moo's hand. Though Moo grabbed them and tossed them into Hopper and Suezo, going: "YOU WORTHLESS, INSIGNIFICANT WORMS! DO YOU THINK FOR EVEN A SECOND ANY OF THIS IS GOING TO FUCKING STOP ME?" But Pixie let loose a blast of lightning from both her hands which destroyed the gem, and the lots of power Moo had been charging up in it overloaded and shot right back into Moo, proving to be the equivalent of him holding on to it for too long and unleashing the power while still holding the gem, which caused him severe damage. "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!" Moo screamed. "FOOLS!" He unleashed fire blasts and energy beams at them, and although it hit them all, it sent them flying directly towards Moo. Moo then said: "Even without that gem which you just destroyed, none of you are a match for me! I can easily destroy you all as of this fucking second!" But though Hare's dragon kick had not made any contact with his hand when it happened and just the gem, and thus Moo wasn't infected, the evil monster was about to be.
How so, you ask? Because as Moo drew his sword to finish them off, Tiger barked: "Not so fast, Moo!" Big Blue then added: "You dealt us a great deal of damage by blasting us like that but you made one major, fatal mistake!" "You let us get too damn close!" Gray Wolf yelled, and with that, he and Tiger slashed Moo, Golem and Big Blue punched him, Mocchi, Hopper and Pixie blasted him and Hare and Suezo pummeled him with, respectively, fists and tail. After that, Pixie put in: "Oh, and Moo? We have only one more thing to say to you! Everyone?" Then they all went: "ACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" as they sneezed at exactly the same time, and onto Moo. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I WAS SO CLOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!" Moo boomed as the Monster Flu racked his body and he imploded into first the Lost Disk he had been before, and then into absolutely nothing, which was what Lilim's Lost Disk became as well as the impact of the implosion went right in its direction. Moo was finally gone for good, and so was Lilim! The rebels had one. "YEAH!" they all shouted.
"Nice job, guys!" Holly shouted. "We knew you could do it!" added Genki. "At last, Moo and Lilim are no more!" Nina smiled. "And for real this time!" commented Holly's father. "And it's never been more satisfying, all things considered, though now we've got to get you down from there!" Tiger spoke. Golem walked over and said: "Golem get down Holly's father." He pulled the shackles off and grabbed him, then placed him down gently. After that, Pixie used her lightning blasts to destroy Holly's shackles, then flew in, caught her and placed her down. A second later, Tiger ran forward, told Genki: "Don't move." and, after Genki nodded, he did a spin move to slash the shackles to nothing and catch Genki on his back. He landed on his feet and let Genki get off. Finally, Gray Wolf did much the same for Nina.
"Thanks for getting us down. We really didn't like being shackled up like that." Genki said. "Especially by Moo and Lilim." Nina added. "Not a problem." Big Blue said. "Chi, no problem, Chi!" Mocchi put in. "Though I think I'd better get us home now." Holly said. "Good thing is, that despite the effort it took for my magic stone to make you that medicine, it can still do some things while its powers recover. One of which is teleportation." "Good to know," Tiger told her, but just then, the Monster Flu came back to bite him and the other eight monsters, who just now started sneezing and coughing again. Obviously, the effects of the medicine weren't as strong as they'd been, as the medicine had helped matters, but this was still such a powerful flu that it'd take at least weeks and possibly month to get over it at long last. "Whoa, now I'm more relieved we can still teleport ourselves home than ever!" Holly exclaimed. So she used her magic stone to teleport them back to the village, and once news was heard of what had happened, all of everyone cheered, was relieved and commended the rebel monsters.
News of this would spread from area to area, it was certain. And although it would still be some time before the nine goody monsters recovered from their illness, they still had a good future to look forward to like they did before all the same, much like all the humans did. And especially since Moo and Lilim were now deader and more gone for good than ever before, and they would not be coming back to terrorize the world of Monster Rancher no matter what.
