Okay, um, this chapter isn't as funny because it's mainly plottish stuff. I'll make sure there's a lot more next chapter, but for now…
"Magical Lychee Carpet!"
Episode Eight: Return of a Supermarket Product! That'll be ten dollars and twenty-three cents.
"Is that…?"
The smoke cleared, and Gasser's assumption was correct. A certain gelatin man was suspending them atop a magic carpet made of jelly.
"TOKORO!" Vix yelled.
"What?" Jelly Jiggler asked in confusion.
She blinked. "Uh…" Then she noticed someone else standing beside the gelatin man and gladly changed the subject.
"Drew, what the heck are you doing here?" She asked.
He didn't reply for a moment, looking down at the collapsed roof from the magical floating jelly carpet. "Mister 'Olu 'Olu here ran into me. Said there was a hurricane in Oahu and he had to leave early or something like that."
Jelly got a dreamy look in his eyes. "Hawaii is so beautiful," He said in a daze. Drew whacked him in the back of the head and he snapped back to reality.
"Uh… 'Mister Short' here told me about this Mike guy while we were getting here," Jelly said, attempting to imitate Drew's bored attitude but failing miserably.
"Where is here?" Vix asked, glancing around the building, but everything was foggy.
"It's around two miles away from the camp place, this really tall building in the middle of the forest."
Vix's eyes widened. "That's it!" She nearly jumped off of the jelly carpet.
"What's it?!" Beauty questioned.
"You'll see! Black hole!" Vix disappeared, leaving everyone behind and confused.
"He'd be somewhere important…" She mumbled, glancing down the hallways.
Suddenly a knife shot past her, barely missing her shoulder. She froze, and heard it pierce the wall of the hallway in front of her.
"Don't move," Someone snapped, and she clenched her fists.
"Crap. I knew this was coming sometime." Vix spun around, pulling the chain from her pocket, and as she swung it at the guy it became a sword. She stopped it inches from his neck.
At first Vix didn't do anything, then she punched him in his stomach and he keeled over. Then she pulled a rope from her pocket and made quick work tying him up.
As she began to walk again, the sword melted back into a chain and she began to swing it in circles by a single finger.
"NO!"
Vix stopped. Someone was shouting from a nearby door. She walked up to it and looked through the window, but there were no lights on and the windows had shades on them.
"Get up there, and get RID of them!" She recognized the voice immediately. It was that Mike guy.
"The roof is collapsed and they have two new people up there! We won't be able to get rid of them all! Besides, we all have our poker game today!" It was someone else, probably one of the people that worked at the training camp.
"I don't care if you're playing leapfrog, you dimwit! Kill them!"
Vix grinned and lashed the chain at the window. It shattered and she waved at them, watching as Mike's face twisted in rage.
"Get her!" He yelled, and static spewed out of his body, reaching the man he had been yelling at. The man jumped up and tried to punch her, but she was already running down the hallway.
She turned a corner and waited for the guy to follow. As soon as she saw his shadow she reared her fist back.
When he appeared she hit him right in the nose. He screamed in pain, hands clasping his nose. Blood dripped out of them.
She kicked him at the ridge of his ribs and he keeled over. Vix then lashed out her chain and it snapped at the back of his neck.
He fell to his knees. She gave him a strong kick to the face and he fell backwards, against the opposite wall. "Is it just coincidence that all of these idiots are so easy to knock out?" She shook her head and muttered something along the lines of, "The author really needs to start being realistic..."
The static energy left his body and shot back toward where Mike was.
She followed it, and when she reached the room the mic was glaring at her in anger.
"You little pest!" He snarled. "Why is it that you're always in the way of my plans?!"
But then he grinned. "But I've got a plan not even you can beat. Saving the best for last…" Energy began to swirl around him.
"Super Fist of Static!"
Static spurted from all parts of his body, hitting Vix square in the chest. She cringed as the static wrapped around her wrists, beginning to tighten.
"This is for all of the plans you've ruined!" Mike yelled, and the static curled around her neck.
Suddenly a hole in the roof tiles appeared and a cloud of dust appeared.
"Ha!" The smoke cleared and the static around Vix evaporated. Nick was pointing a steel pole at Mike with one hand, and with the other he was holding a pocketknife where the energy had been spewing out.
He grinned and looked at Vix. "I can't let you have all the fun!" He told her, as he poked Mike with the pole.
She managed to grin. "Come on," She said. "Grab the mic. I've got an idea."
Suddenly Mike yelled in aggravation and even more static energy spewed out, forming a knife. It reared back and slashed at Nick, going completely through him.
He laughed. "You missed," The ten year old yelled with a grin. No one said anything – in the background they heard something dripping onto the ground.
A large wound on Nick's arm had cut through his sleeve, and he could see and feel blood running down his arm and dripping from his knuckles. Beginning to feel the pain, he grabbed it with his other arm and cringed.
Vix glared at Mike, who had a triumphant, twisted smile on his cartoon face. She pulled a white bandaging cloth from her pocket and tossed it at Nick, who made quick work binding it around his arm tightly.
Then she glared at Mike and her chain became a sword. "Fire with fire, right?" She spat.
Mike's smile disappeared, and the blade split into two different swords. "Oops," He said simply.
Suddenly Vix was hit from behind and was thrown a few feet. She spun around to see a static-like creature, like the one that had been on the roof.
"I forgot to introduce you," Mike said with a smirk. "This is your worst nightmare. Worst nightmare, annoying pest."
The creature held out a hand, palm pointed at her, toward Vix. The fingers were almost knife-like, pointed at the tops and sparkling with static.
Energy shot from their hand and gripped her by an arm, then her other. For a moment it just tightened its grip, then the energy snapped back to the creature's hands and Vix was jerked forwards as well.
She held back a cry of pain and alarm as the energy dug in tighter to her wrists, beginning to draw blood from the scrapes.
Mike was smiling maniacally once again, keeping Nick helpless with the two swords by both sides of his neck.
But then one left it's post, heading straight towards Vix.
"Vix!" Nick yelled, eyes wide, as she stared in horror at the static blade, swinging towards her.
Haha. Just full of cliffies. I'm planning on ending this next episode or the one after...
Preview:
Tokoro/Jelly Jiggler/Lychee Dessert X was struggling to keep the Lychee carpet from dropping to the ground and moving it to a safer area at the same time. Let me tell you, for a gelatin man it wasn't easy.
"Yeah, um, I'll have taco sauce on that," He said, using one hand to make the carpet fly in circles, the other clasping the phone to his head.
