-Episode IV-
The jungle was peaceful with all the normal sound you would find, expect for one spot. At a camp sight two people were auguring.
"How long have they been at it?" Kim asked watching the two.
"Since this morning," mumbled Bonnie.
"Stoppable-sama, please let me catch a wild boar here it will not take long and we can be on our way." Yori pleaded with their 'leader', in her eyes anyway.
"Yori I can't have pork, and boar counts." Ron countered but like the other times Yroi just didn't get it.
"You should, it is a great meal and can bring you plenty of energy for training." Yori said as if that explained everything.
Bonnie snorted at the training comment. She had seen them at it but even she could tell Ron needed a lot more if they wanted to beat Aku and get back home. "Yori, I'm Jewish. We're not allowed pork of any kind." Ron tried even though he tried to explain it to her before.
Yori puffed her cheeks annoyed, "Who say Stoppabe-sama what he can or not have. It is best for him."
Before Ron could say anything, Bonnie snapped, "ENOUGH!" she caused birds to fly out of trees all around them. And Kim muttered, "Took her longer then I thought".
"Yori just get the over size pig, Ron can eat a rock for all I care. It has been days since our last good meal so just we can just eat now."
Before anyone of them could say anything the ground started to shake.
"Earthquake?" ask Ron as he tried to steady him self.
Just then a large animal charged through the camp sight, the heroes just jumping out of the way. It was as large as an elephant but had long yellowish tan fur. It had a short nose tat drooped down its face. Its eyes were focus as it charged, it big-lip mouth frown but showed two large square teeth sticking out from the bottom. Yori had set a trap earlier, hoping to catch a boar, as they noticed the strange animal stepped into the trap, and dragged Ron for the ride.
"KIM!" He shouted as he was dragged along with the creature. Yori and Kim rushed with no delay seeing and hearing his cry for help. Bonnie started after them, but that was after she palmed her face.
"We need to rescue the loser, again." It hadn't been the first time Ron needed rescuing for some incident or another. Kim, Yori, and Bonnie just barely kept up as other creatures of the same type rushed past them, but they had riders. Little men with blue skin, weird goggle like glasses with blue or orange, white one-piece jumpsuits, and all of them were carrying tridents. Ron managed to get himself somewhat situated from the ride and start pulling himself closer to the leg of the creature. He was dragged for a bit before situating himself on his stomach and pulling himself forward. He managed to mount the creature and, after freeing himself from the trap, converted it into a lasso and roped the creature. He pulled the vine rope and caused the creature to trip. It slid quite a ways before stopping in front of a cliff. It was a close on as Ron and the creature looked down at the drop, as a few small rocks fell.
"That's a long way down." Ron joked as the small men caught up to Ron and started to sting the creature with their tridents, after Ron hopped off. The creature yowled in pain from the shocks of the tridents. A little blue man with orange goggle glasses walked up to Ron.
"Not a bad job with the beast." He said in a nasally voice.
"I guess." Another said with blue goggles in the same voice.
"We would have caught him anyway with our modified trident-al in-capacitors." A third one said showing off the trident.
"Ron!" Kim said as she rushed up to him, and practically hugged him.
"I see you did not need our assistance Stoppable-sama." Yori said as she took a place next to him.
"Geez, loser. Why call for help when you handled it yourself?" Bonnie asked peeved at the fact that he panicked and got himself out of it.
"Hey I did not plan that." He said to Bonnie before turning toward the little men, who reminded him of monkeys.
"I did not mean to steal you guys thunder by I kinda was dragged along for the ride."
"Yeah through our campsite," muttered Bonnie as she glared at the beast.
The orange goggled one rubbed his chin in thought, "Well you did capture the beast. Why don't you come back to our village to celebrate its capture with a feast? Lots of rare delectable treats."
"Sold," stated Bonnie; not wanting to stay without food any longer, with it being free and everything was even better.
"Alright hold on" said one of the blue goggled as he stabbed his weapon at the beast he seemed to far away but yellow beams like lighting shot out and wrapped around it legs to keep him from running. "Alright, we can go."
As they climbed on one of the beast Yori looked at the now captured beast. "You seem a bit harsh with them." She commented.
"Oh we have too, Woolies are very dangerous." Said on of the little men.
The gang all looked at the beasts and even Bonnie saw some truth to that statement. They weren't as big as elephants, and though they lacked the trunk of pure muscle and the long sharp tusks. They did, however, seemed to be able to bit them in half or easily crush them, at these men were a lot smaller then they were, so it made sense. The group traveled on the back of the creatures as the 'leader' started to speak.
"Our people have dwelled in these lands for centuries. Much of it was barren wasteland when the early settlers arrived. Our ancestors worked long and hard for many seasons to cultivate this land into the beautiful place it is now." He said, but Bonnie had something on her mind as he spoke, 'Can this guy be any more boring? I'd rather have detention with Barkin than this.' She then remembered that Barkin was there when Aku struck.
'Did he survive Aku's attack? I can't think like that right now.' The leader continued as Bonnie thought this.
"These 'Woolies', as we call them, roamed the land wild. These bloodthirsty beasts threatened the survival of the early settlers." Then one of the blue goggles, which was riding with Bonnie said, "They nearly drove us to extinction." Before letting the leader continue.
"Anyway, with our great courage and determination, we managed to tame these savage beasts." They were still walking along going a great distance to the village. The others seemed a bit doubtful. They may seem dangerous due to their size but the men made it sound like they were T-rexes or something. Yori looked back at the caught Wooly, she had a strange feeling.
They made it to the large village, which seemed to be made of stone. First they sent the run away to a small area where they locked it in. they saw if sad face. The pen seemed small but the gang figured it might have been to keep it from gaining momentum to break out.
They reach the large area where a feast was served. They really didn't listen to what any of these men/nerds were saying, but ate quietly looking around. Then one little man, dressed different says it was time for entertainment. Two Woolies were brought out, wearing color vest and little cylinder hats with a trestle on top. One stood on it hind legs and moved a large ball. The second one stood on it front legs and did a hand stand. The gang seemed impressed as the crowd cheered. The Wooly seemed to having some trouble and then fell onto it back. The ringmaster seemed angry and stabbed at the beast with his weapon telling it to get up.
Yori could not stand it anymore. She got up and said softly, "It was an honor for the feast, but I feel a need for a walk."
As it was getting late Yori look around the village. The rock buildings seemed to be made for someone bigger. "Such tall buildings," two little men ran pass her one shouting or the other to get back, "for such small men."
She then noticed the pen where the runaway was held. She saw the sad look on the Wooly and felt bad for him. She could not blame him for running away after seeing how some of the others one were treated. Yori got nearer and smiled at him before showing a fruit. She held it out to the Wooly. It looked at it before he suck her whole hand in it mouth. She was thankful the Wooly let her slide her hand out before it chewed the food. "It was my honor," Yori said as she wiped her hand on its fur. "Maybe you are not so bad after all."
She then turned and walked away. She did not get far as a deep sad voice spoke, "help me."
She turned to only see the sad Wooly, "did you just speak?"
"Hey you!" shouted one of the men that came near her. Two of the three went in and Yori could see the glow and sound of the weapons being used. "That was too close; it could have used it laser beams to fry your brain."
Yori did not believe him though she did not say it out loud. She knew what she heard and must tell the others.
"I'm not staying here for long. It's like a Larry cloned himself and became cruel." Kim said with a shiver thinking about her cousin Larry from family game night.
"Tell me about it. It's a bunch of nerds and geeks in the wrongest sense." Bonnie said thinking how they fit the stereotype quite well. Ron shook his head as well.
"I'm with you girls. The way they treat the Woolies is wrong."
"And they may have misinformed us Stoppable-sama." Yori said as she appeared in the area where they were causing Bonnie to jump.
"Don't do that!" She said as Yori took her place in the circle of friends. Bonnie then noticed what she said.
"What do you mean misinformed? Are these shrimps lying to us?" She asked as Yori held her chin.
"I do not believe we have all the information present. I was walking, and found myself past the pen where the Wooly that Stoppable-sama caught. I decided to get close and offer an apple. He ate the apple and then spoke."
"It can talk?" Kim asked wondering how this information factors in.
"Hai, and the small men seemed to silence it quickly. They even told me to keep away or it would shoot lasers from its eyes or control my mind. I doubt that is the truth since they seemed to be in such a hurry to punish it." She said the last part with quite a bit of venom. It seemed like something Aku would do.
"What do you say, Stoppable-sama? Should we investigate?" Yori asked Ron.
"Yeah, something doesn't feel right about this place. The first thing is that the buildings are too large for these guys, and this place is ancient for these guys to have built nearly 100 years ago." Ron said as Yori beamed at the fact that Ron saw it her way this time.
"That is exactly what I thought! There must be something going on here, and I will find out." She said before Kim cut her off.
"If you're going to spy on these guys, go ahead, but let's get some sleep. At least tonight we can sleep with a roof over our heads." Kim said as the others agreed. Ron's dreams didn't have rest. He dreamt of a cry and he investigated it by going through branches of the trees and then came to a large gate. The gate opened and he found himself in another area that had a group of eye like structures and small demons. The small demons laughed mockingly at Ron as they rushed him. He drew the Lotus Blade and struck down the ones that came near him.
"Help me." Came a pleading voice causing Ron to turn around and see a Wooly in a circle of lightening. The circle then turned into an orb that had chains of lightening going from it towards the Wooly.
"Help me," the Wooly said again and Ron saw the problem. He grasped his sword and struck the orb. The electric current shocked him for a few seconds, and the orb exploded throwing him back. He was weakened when he stood and saw the Wooly standing upright. It had fists clenched in anger and glowing yellow eyes. Ron bolted upright with a sudden gasp causing the other girls to wake up. The girls watched as Ron panted heavily from the dream. Bonnie glared, "and why are you ruining even more of my beauty sleep?"
Kim didn't even say anything to that as she watched Ron. He got his breathing back to normal as he explained his dream. "I think we were right Ron and we need to hear the whole story from the source."
They gathered their gear and snuck to the pen, Yori got closer, as it seems to trust her the most right now. "You can talk my friend?"
The Wooly answered sadly, "Yes".
"How?" Ron asked.
"Free me and all shall be explained," the Wooly said.
They quietly open the pen and the Wooly walked out and lead the way. It leaded them to a large stone enclosed with a large metal gate. The gate had a large padlock. Before Ron could draw the Lotus Blade Bonnie stepped forward, "Move it loser I got this."
And she pulled out a Bobbie pin from her hair and started to pick the lock. After a few minutes it clicked and she pulled the lock off the gate. "How did you do that?" asked Ron
"More like where she learned it?" suggested Kim a little jealous that she could not do that.
Bonnie smirked, "Mom made all of us learn in case we get kidnapped."
They all went inside to see all the Woolies gathered closer together in groups. "What is this place?" ask Yori.
"It is where they keep us." The Wooly said before it stops before a strange Wooly. They all went wide eye at the sight. It was a large stairway with a giant creature like the Woolies at the top.
"Up." the Wooly said as he lightly pushed them towards a series of steps. They were amazed at the height and walked up to see the largest creature they have ever seen. It opened its eyes and shot an energy ray of sorts, but it wasn't hurting them.
"I am Fazuul, the eldest of Woolies." It spoke before they saw the lands they had seen before, but with a beauty that was far more breathtaking then what they had seen.
"Long before the darkness fell, our people had discovered a way of life that was only dreamed of. Shangri-La; ours was not a culture that was based on technology." They were shown many different scenes in that had the Woolies, clothed, walking simply, picking fruits and other crops, or even painting.
"Centuries passed and our way of life was simple yet prosperous. Until, the pestilence from the sky rained down upon us." They then saw rocket ships coming down from space and landing. The doors opened showing a large amount of the blue skinned men.
"The Creaturelites were upon us, and our peace shattered. We tried to defend ourselves, but we stood no chance against their technology." The visions continued as they saw the Woolies raising makeshift weapons and fought, but were defeated by the blue men.
"They used an orb to enslave my people." The visions began to fade after seeing an orb to force the Woolies that were walking on part of their bodies to all four.
"They have abused these lands and my people. If something is not done, then I fear that our very culture will be lost forever." The visions ended as quickly as they came. The four looked at the eldest Wooly who simply asked one thing.
"Will you help us?"
"You don't even have to ask." Ron said determined.
The Wooly led them to where the orb was. It stayed on top of a statue overlooking a pit. Inside of the pit were all the little men sleeping. "Gag, nerd pit." muttered Bonnie as they all looked down at them.
"Why don't I just shoot it?"
"Can you even hit a target from here?" asked Kim.
"Hey, I have you know, I am a great shot,"
"We know nothing about that orb it could be shield from your laser bolts and then the men will wake up and we would have a fight while we try and get the orb."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Ron's sword should be able to destroy it with out any problems we just need him to get up there or the orb down here." Yori explained before she noticed something.
"And how should we do that?" Kim asked no one in particular as she gazed intensely at the orb like it was mocking her.
"I do believe your friend has an idea," the Wooly said as Yori jumped high and grabbed a vine. Ron followed in similar fashion and grabbed a vine.
"I'm so going to feel like Tarzan." He said as the two of them swung across the pit and landed at the base of the orb tower. They started to climb as the Wooly got close and looked up as they climbed. Unfortunately he slipped and fell in the pit crushing a few of the blue men. Surprisingly enough they slept through that.
"Maybe we could have walked through?" Kim asked as she and Bonnie got down into the 'nerd pit'. They were almost halfway through when Bonnie's hand brushed against one of them lightly. The blue man started to slowly open his eyes and saw the Wooly in front of him.
"The beast is loose!" He shouted causing everyone else to wake up.
'They can sleep through a racket like earlier, but a simple hand brush wakes them up?' Bonnie thought, as she was tempted to face palm herself for her error. Ron jumped down from where he was before he looked at the Wooly.
"Beast, I caught you once and I can do it again." He said as the blue men cheered at the warrior that caught the Wooly the first time.
"But this time, you won't escape again." He said as he drew the Lotus Blade and threw it. He guided it to hit the Wooly on the side, but he didn't feel any pain, even though he had his eyes closed. Kim and Bonnie were shocked at this, but then smiled as they now saw what Ron had planned. The invisible electric shackles on the Wooly appeared and simply vanished. Ron called the sword back to him as the Wooly felt something that hadn't been felt in a long while, freedom. He stood on his legs with a look of righteous fury.
"We've been tricked!" One of them said as Ron and Yori started climbing up. The little nerds started to fight against them as Bonnie started shooting, and Kim started using her fists. One of them got close and Kim stole the trident shaped weapon. It wasn't until Ron and Yori were halfway up when one of the little blue men noticed them.
"They're going after the orb!" One shouted as the two continued to climb.
"We can't let them reach the orb!" another said as they swung down and knocked Ron and Yori down into the pit. Ron and Yori got up and grew their weapons. While the blue men were small and weak they came in great numbers. It helped that Ron and Yori were cutting the top off of weapons to make them useless in a fight.
Bonnie shot another one before she turned on the spot and kicked one blue man below the belt. He was lifted over a foot in the air before he was dropped facedown in the dirt. The other blue men who saw this cringe while Bonnie scoffed, "Hey, a girl touched him down there, he should be happy."
"Yeah somehow happiness might be something he won't feel for a while." Stated Kim as she pole volt over a group of blue men and then knocked them aside. "You know I really need to get a weapon on of these days."
The free Wooly knocked blue men back with his fist before he charged toward Ron. Ron jumped on and they charge towards the tower. Blue men were sent flying or squished as they man it to the tower and Wooly started to climb. It was hard as the blue men were stabbing into his backside.
At the wooly pen, Fazuul opened his eyes. He saw what they were doing and knew this was their moment for freedom. "It is time." He said in a low tone. One by one the Woolies stood up and start to move.
"Climb," said Ron as he knocked some blue men from trying to knock them down.
"I'm trying," grunted the Wooly in pain from the shocks.
Then the blue men notice that the ring to the pit now had the Woolies all around it "Hey," one shouted before he stabbed at them.
"Back to your pen!" He said just before Kim had stabbed him in the back as she shouted, "Stop that!" Ron, Yori, Kim, and Bonnie continued to fight, but the Woolies weren't as effective.
"We need to destroy that orb!" Yori said as she got on the free Wooly and rode towards it. She reached out her hand towards Ron. He saw and grabbed her hand and was brought on as they stomped on and over the cruel, blue nerds. The Wooly started to climb the tower to reach the orb, but was interrupted as more of the blue men came after them. Fortunately, Ron and Yori cut down the ones that swung after them, but their friend stopped climbing.
"Please, Wooly-san, we must reach the top." Yori tried to cheer, but he didn't budge.
"I'm sorry. I'm too weak." He said as he struggled to lift himself higher. Ron looked at his sword and the tower.
'I can't get there with all these guys coming at us, but maybe.' He thought as got an idea.
"Sorry about this." Ron said, and before the Wooly or Yori could ask, he poked the Wooly's rear with the sword.
"YWOCH!" was the cry the Wooly made as he jumped quickly and to great heights. Ron and Yori were thrown off and landed in the pit of the blue enemy. The Wooly landed right on target by smashing the orb with his rear.
"Oh no! They destroyed the orb!" one of the enemy said as the orb was smashed. The energy caused a small explosion that singed the Wooly's fur, but it freed the others.
"Boo-yeah." Ron said as the newly freed Woolies joined the battle and smashed the small blue men with their fists.
"RETREAT!" The supposed leader called as the survivors of the creaturelites rushed back to the ships and took off back to space. The eldest Wooly came to the teens.
"You have freed us from slavery. My people shall prosper in time. As you have aided us, so we shall aid you. Tell me of your needs or desires." The eldest Wooly said as they thought.
"You're very kind to offer. We're looking for something." Yori spoke for the group.
"Yes, I know. You seek the power to pass through time. You will not find such a power here, but there is one who can." Fazuul then gave them a scroll with a strange symbol on it.
"Go towards the northern deserts and seek a shop with the symbol on the scroll. There you will find one who can guide you to what you four seek." Fazuul said as Ron held the simple parchment. They bowed to him, and rested for the night. When the dawn came they left, rested and supplied thanks to a few Woolies. As they traveled they thought they heard the elder's voice on the wind.
"Go young samurai. Go to meet your destiny." They traveled with a small belief that maybe fate guided their travels.
