Important note: Apparently I can still the laptop I used before, but it is supposed to be used for investigations and work-related stuff, so I'm still restricted in this stuff for now.
On another note, I will take a break from this story to focus on other stuff. Some school-related, including a very important tesis I haven't even started yet, and some related to other fic ideas I want to make. Like "Wandering in Seattle", a Star vs. the Forces of Evil/Wander Over Yonder crossover, for example.
UPDATE: I can't think of anything for "Wandering in Seattle", but I do have an idea for a CinemaSins parody, so I at least have something to work with.
So, I might resume this on summer, at best. There aren't that many chapters left in this story (though there are still a few) and you know what they say: don't rush things, take your time, and quality beats quantity, except in numeration. *rimshot*
Anyhow, that's what I wanted to say. Thanks for taking the time to read this fic, thanks for your reviews, and I promise I will try to make the next remaining chapters as good as this one.
So, with nothing more to say (hopefully), read and enjoy!
Last time, on "Trapped in the Closet"
"Indeed..."
Having heard a voice say that, the Golden Eye briefly looked surprised before it turned to see the Shadow Creature standing at the front of the shack, firmly staring at the door. A few moments later, the creature looked up and spotted the eye.
The Shadow Creature and the Golden Eye exchanged stares, with the eye looking at the creature with pure contempt while the creature...just stood still. The creature then...glitched, somehow, and his eyes turned from red to blue almost instantly, surprising and apparently giving the eye some relief.
The Golden Eye gave the creature a stare of pity before it disappeared...and shortly after it left, the creature once again glitched and his eyes slowly turned from blue to red again. With his eyes back to "normal", the creature stood still for a moment before it...slowly vanished, flashing a malevolent smile before disappearing completely.
(Meanwhile, with Wendy)
Wendy and Darth Soos's Father swung their lightsabers and tried to gain the upper hand, with neither showing any sign of overpowering the other anytime soon. The redheaded teenager glared at Darth Soos's Father...while he barely looked fazed. Eventually, Darth Soos's Father used the force to push Wendy towards a wall, running to the girl and jumping high as the girl recovered from the crash.
Seeing that Darth attack, Wendy quickly blocked it and pushed forward with enough strength to make Darth Soos's Father lose control of his lightsaber, losing it and then being punched by Wendy with enough strength to send him to a wall.
"I don't know what is going on, I don't care what is going on, and I most definitely couldn't care less of the meaning of this, but I will not be stopped by a Star Wars parody!" stated Wendy as Darth Soos's Father got up, apparently unharmed. "Just tell me one thing before I finish the job: who are you?"
Darth Soos's Father turned to the girl...and remained silent as he grabbed and took off his helmet. Once he took it off, Darth Soos's Father revealed...that his face looked just like Wendy, only withered and burned.
"I am you, silly." stated Darth Wendy.
The redheaded teenager briefly lost her coolness upon the reveal, but she quickly recovered and countered Darth Wendy's punch with her arm. Darth Wendy's head transformed...into a...radio? shortly afterwards.
"I am what you hate!"
The radio played "Straight Blanchin'", which either caused Wendy so much pain or so much annoyance that the teenager screamed and pushed Darth Radio away, turned off her lightsaber and then used both arms to cover her ears so she would stop hearing the dreadful song. Darth Radio took this as a chance to attack and hit the girl, who failed to dodge in time as Darth Radio swiftly punched her.
Hitting a wall, the sound suddenly stopped and Wendy, taking notice of this, uncovered her ears in relief...before she looked at Darth Radio transform into something worse: her family. Or, more accurately, a grotesque fusion of Manly Dan and Wendy's brother's head.
"I am what gives you stress!"
Darth Dan-Corduroy rushed and leaped straight for Wendy, only for the teenager to miss it entirely...and leave her lightsaber behind. Realizing her mistake, Wendy got up and turned to Darth Dan-Corduroy, who grabbed the lightsaber and got up
"I am the one who broke your heart and didn't give you time to breath it off!"
Darth Dipper swung his lightsaber at Wendy, but she quickly-almost effortlessly-dodged it and kicked the object away.
"If you think that turning into my family, Robbie, that sun bleaching song and Dipper and telling me what happened in the past is going to affect me, you are quite mistaken!" sternly snarled Wendy as she gave Darth Dipper a determined glare. "I don't focus on the past anymore, I'm focusing on the present now!"
"Oh, you don't focus on the past anymore?" uttered Darth Dipper with a hint of mockery.
He turned into a white-ish blob of goop, which eventually-and grotesquely-started to form...something that looked human, or at the very least something that tried to be human. The humanoid shape let out a horrifying screech of agony as it once again transformed, this time with the lower half turning into spider legs, one crab-like hand and...well, one hand that looked like a giant mace.
Wendy took a few step backwards once she got an idea of who it was once the head's eyes became completely red, and the mouth turned into a...very strange shape, with some fangs sticking out. With the transformation having apparently completed, the...thing flashed a smile and rose.
"I guess you had forgot about me then!"
"The Shape Shifter?!" exclaimed a horrified Wendy as the shape shifter approached."But-but-but-but you were frozen at the bunker!"
"Or perhaps you got someone else?" replied the Shape Shifter. "Just think about it."
The Shape Shifter immediately turned into Mabel.
"I could be Mabel!"
Then into Dipper.
"I could be Dipper!"
Then into Soos.
"I could be Soos!"
Then into Stan.
"I could be Stan!"
And then...into Wendy herself.
"I could even be you!" the sides of the Shape Shifter's body started to move strangely as he eyed the girl with malice. He took a few steps backwards before he started to shape shift again...and he started to grow. "Or maybe..."
Wendy looked up in horror as the Shape Shifter's head turned into a grotesque fusion between her and Waddles, his arms extended and the hands soon transformed into Dipper and Mabel heads. The feet, which remained spider-like, each had a Stan-like head at the tip, and the stomach of the monster transformed into a face of Soos, but with his mouth closed with stitches.
"I could be all of you!" spoke the Shape Shifter through all the heads...minus Soos's.
The grotesque amalgamation attacked without warning and Wendy managed to dodge before she was hit. She tried to attack it with her lightsaber, but the Mabel hand grabbed it with her teeth...the part made of plasma that is, which burned her tongue. "Ouch! Ouch! Hot!" whined the Mabel Head as she dropped the lightsaber.
Wendy reached for the object, but the Dipper head quickly reached for the lightsaber, this time grabbing it by the hilt and crushing it with his teeth, spitting it out at the teenager's face as the other heads-except the Soos head-laughed mockingly. The girl was then attacked by the Dipper head, who opened his mouth wide and bared his fangs.
However, the teenager grabbed the head just as it attacked, holding it as much as she could so she wouldn't get eaten. However, the Mabel head helped the Dipper head by screeching close enough to startle the teenager, who was..."grabbed" by the head and thrown up in the air, looking down to see the Wendy-Waddles head...contorting? its mouth as it opened it, showing that inside were visceral manifestations of her past boyfriends, who grabbed the girl and forced her to go down the Shape Shifter's "throat" as the mouth closed.
The Shape Shifter, having succeeded in eating the teenager for...whatever motive he had, started to feel proudly victorious...but he soon felt a bad stomach-ache as the teenager moved around, trying to break free of the monster's stomach. After a while, Wendy got an idea and pushed forward up until she pierced the stomach, essentially breaking the Soos face. The beast cried in pain as blood gruesomely splattered the walls and the ground and Wendy roared like a mad alien.
And then something got in her mouth.
"Ew! I think someone of your insides got in my mouth! They taste like-" the teen girl's tone changed to a surprised one once she tasted the insides and found out the taste was...more familiar than expected. "Chicken?"
The Shape Shifter wobbled unsteadily and Wendy quickly jumped off the beast, landing on one of the blood stains and quickly turning around to see the Shape Shifter's heads turn into chicken heads, with the body turning into that of a rooster. The Shape Shifter let out a chiken-like call of agony as it tumbled and hit the ground, having finally died.
The corpse soon dissipated into a bunch of...dark matter-like energy, which flew up and formed into the Shadow Creature, who had this time...golden eyes instead of red ones. Wendy was briefly shocked by the creature's appearance, but she remained calm before she got up and stared at the creature, who returned the stare without making a single move.
A part of the creature's body ripped itself off and flew to Wendy's hand, turning into an axe that the girl grabbed immediately. She eyed it and turned back to the creature, who had now moved...a bit too close for Wendy's comfort, and she raised her axe and swung it. After hitting the creature's head, however, a loud metallic sound was heard as Wendy shaked and moved a few feet back, stopping her shaking by dropping her axe, which continued to shake.
The axe shaked so much, in fact, that it "drilled" its way underground once it hit the floor.
"What the hell?!" shouted Wendy upon seeing that.
Wendy looked up to see the creature peering at her...and he then glitched before vanishing into nothingness. No glare of malice, no disturbing smile, the creature just vanished and left no trace behind. An intense blue light was illuminated nearby as Wendy got up and noticed it, turning around to see that there was a Blue Eye on one of the walls...one eye that had the same shape as the Golden Eye, in fact...
"Who are you and where is the Golden Eye?" asked Wendy.
"The Golden Eye is where it should be: locked away...for now." stated the Blue Eye. "I can only keep him in line for a few moments before he takes control again, so I have to make this quick. First, let's heal those injuries."
The Blue Eye closed...itself, and Wendy was showered in a white, water-like aura. Wendy didn't feel any different as she was showered, and once the aura dissipated the teenager felt pretty much the same as she did a while ago...except for the wound in her arm.
She took out the cloth that covered her wound and discovered that it had been fixed: In fact, the arm looked like it had never been damaged at all.
"Awesome!" remarked Wendy as she checked her healthy arm before she turned to the Blue Eye. "How did you do that?"
"Can't answer, time's running short." replied the Blue Eye, flashing between a bloodied eye and an arrow as he continued. "For the moment, I need to give you something important. Now, the object itself isn't that important, but what is inside is the important thing. However, the eye will be...angry, if you see what is inside, so wait until you are inside the one place he cannot access so easily: the purple shack. Now, I can't explain what is that place, but he seems to have limited power over it so when you go in, take out what is inside and read it as fast as you can!"
"Okay, okay, got it."
And then another one of the purple bottles materialized in front of the teenager, who grabbed it shortly after she saw it.
"A purple bottle?" questioned Wendy. "Why and where did you get it?"
"Hey, don't question the methods if they can help you get out of here faster!" hastily replied the Blue Eye, shortly before turning into the Golden Eye. "Besides, it was really hard to get that, and I would appreciate it if you at least kept it!"
"Fine! Fine! Geez, relax man. But where am I supposed to find-"
Once the teenager turned to see what was in front of her, the purple shack had mysteriously appeared, only this time instead of having a purple aura, the main structure was purple: roof, walls, door, the only difference was that they were different shades of purple.
"The purple shack?"
Wendy stood still for a moment, shook off her confusion and walked to the door. "Okay, I'm going keep this bottle and go into the purple shack. Anything you want to tell me before I go?"
"Yes, and it would be nice of you if spread the word to your friends." replied the Blue Eye. Light blue electricity surrounded the eye and he briefly flashed into...the Golden Eye itself, bleeding and looking with malicious intent. "You can't trust the Golden Eye. Now go!"
Startled by the Eye's sudden shouting, Wendy went inside the purple shack as fast as she could and shut the door once she was inside, the Golden Eye replacing the Blue Eye shortly afterwards. The Golden Eye then looked...relieved and happy at the purple shack.
"Everybody is in." and then he sensed...something, approaching. "Except for one."
The Golden Eye turned to see the figure arrive, and the eye quickly changed between his normal self and a bleeding eye as a pair of arms sprouted from the wall, the eye laughing as the arms reached for the figure.
