Hi everyone, sorry about the long wait for an update and whatnot. I had some personal things I was dealing and my computer is starting to mess up again like it did the last time I was writing Jet Pack Fever. I hope this isn't going to be a permanent problem. This is the second to last chapter of Stranded. Though it'll be a bit more than that, you'll just have to wait and see. We last left off where the agents discover that Dot is missing.
Guest: Yep, that's exactly what it means. Dot is your favorite? Why?
Lolumroller: Yep, good luck getting through this room without her.
Goody50: You had a knife? Maybe Belle took it like she did with mine.
Cuddles140: What do you want me to do about it? Jet Pack Guy took it and he's still missing!
Brittney9100: Yeeeeeeeees!
Pukadella: Hey kid, un-block ShadAlex1011 on deviantART. You had no reason to block her in the first place and you really hurt her feelings. She did nothing to hurt you so you have no reason to block her.
Zanerexn41: In order to fully understand the riddle, you have to see what the agents are up against.
Most of the agents began panicking. "OH no, Dot's gone! What are we going to do?!" Goody shouted
"We're going to have to try to get through this without her." Bellykid said. "But it seems pretty simple; it's only a dark room."
The phone line was turned on again and Icetail called the agents.
"Icetail! So glad to hear you!" Bellykid said answering her phone.
"Where's Dot? She didn't answer when I called her." Icetail asked
"Dot's missing; we're not sure where she went." Bellykid explained
"Dot's missing!?" Icetail exclaimed.
"Yes, but we have no idea what's going on because the room we're in is so dark! There's no light anywhere." Answered CC this time
"Well, what did the riddle say?" GPS asked taking the phone from Icetail.
"It said to try and solve this riddle without the stealth lead, but its dark in here so I'm not sure how Dot could help." CC answered
"I think we'll need light to figure out what the riddle is trying to tell us." Goody added
"Does anyone of you have a flashlight?" Rookie asked
"I do not have a flashlight but I do have one of my inventions with me, it's called the 'Lightupadarkroomsowecansee 3000'!" Gary exclaimed
"How does it work?" Bellykid asked
"You just push the button and it will turn on." Gary demonstrated by turning the invention on, it didn't work.
"It didn't work!" Rookie exclaimed
"Surprise, surprise." Bellykid said sarcastically
"What happened?" Zane asked over the phone.
"Gary's invention didn't work." Rookie answered
"Oh, so the usual?" Lilly asked
Everyone on the other line laughed except for Gary.
"AW come on G, it's just a joke." Goody said still laughing.
"It's not that, it's something else." Gary sighed
The other agents ceased their laughter and waddled up to Gary. The agents on the phone stood there in silence.
"Is everything alright over there?" Zane asked from the phone.
"Gary's upset for reasons unknown." Bellykid replied
"I don't mean to interrupt, but don't Gary's inventions usually explode after failing to work?" GPS asked catching everyone's attention.
Suddenly in the middle of the silence Gary's invention exploded leaving a big mess and a bunch of smoke. Luckily because of its small size, the agents are unharmed.
"What happened?!" Captain Flop asked taking the phone.
"Gary's invention exploded, but we're all ok." Rookie answered
"Guys, during the explosion I was able to catch a glimpse of the kind of room that we're in." Bellykid explained
"What does the room look like?" Captain Flop asked
"I was only able to see a little bit, but it was an oddly shaped hole in a giant wall that's about the size of this room." Bellykid explained
"I know what's going on!" Zane exclaimed. "You said there was an oddly shaped hole in the wall right? Usually Dot would use her disguises to fit through the hole, but she's not here, so what you all are going to have to do is…." The phone line was cut off once again.
"Dangit! The line was cut!" Bellykid said
"Oh no! We're all going to die!" Rookie screamed while running around in a circle.
CC ignored his comment. "Who was it and what did they say before the line was cut?"
"It was Zane, and she said that Dot would usually use her disguises to get through this oddly shaped wall but since she's not here, we'll have to do something. She was cut off before she could finish telling us what we need to do." Bellykid explained
Suddenly, at that moment, the agents heard something that sounded like a machine being turned on.
"Does anyone else hear that?" Gary asked
Right after Gary said that, the lights in the room turned back on to reveal what kind of room the agents were actually in. The room was big and in front of the agents was a multi-colored wall that had a hole in it. The hole was shaped like a fish. The machine sound was actually the sound of the wall moving closer to them.
"I understand now! In order for us to get through that hole that's coming at us right now, is to have Dot dress up like a fish!" Rookie exclaimed
The rest of the agents face-flippered. "I think we need Dot here first, Rookie." Bellykid replied
"Oh, well then I'm all out of ideas." Rookie said sitting down.
"Not yet, I think we're going to have to make ourselves into the shape of a fish so we can get through the hole!" Goody suggested
"Then let us begin." Gary said
At that moment, everyone began working hard to get themselves in the shape of a fish. Bellykid was in the back, using her feet and the back of the fish; Rookie and Gary were on top of each other, laying down for the body of the fish, and Goody and CC were in the shape of two balls for the bubbles coming out of the fish's mouth. They both jumped through the bubbles as soon as the wall got close enough.
"That was a lot of work!" Rookie said panting.
"I'll say I had to be the butt!" Bellykid pointed out.
"Look alive agents, the next wall is coming to us at a faster speed." Goody and CC said as the next wall came into view.
The next wall was in the shape of a small island. All the agents sprang into action trying to become the island. Rookie stood on the side and made him look like a tree; Goody and CC both looked like the ocean by lying down beside each other, and Gary and Bellykid lay beside Goody and CC to make each other look like the sand.
"Wow, that's so far my least favorite one." Rookie said
"You're lucky Rookie; all you had to do was stand up!" Goody exclaimed
"I also had to hold my flippers out! That's a lot of work." Rookie said
"Guys, I think this is the last wall." CC said
"How do you know?" Bellykid asked
"Because it looks like words up ahead." CC said
"Hmm, alright agents, it's time to finish this puzzle once and for all." Gary said
The next wall came closer to the agents; the agents could read it but didn't have enough time to figure it out. The word had six letters but the last letter was already filled in to make it easier on them. Gary made himself in the shape of the first letter, D; Bellykid made herself into the shape of the second letter, O; Rookie made himself into the shape of the third letter, O; Goody made herself into the shape of the fourth letter, M; and finally CC made herself into the shape of the fifth letter, E. Once the agents got through the wall, they realized that they had just made the word "DOOMED".
"Doomed? What is that supposed to mean? And how was that a riddle?" CC asked
While the agents pondered what the riddle was supposed to mean, a door opened up right in front of them. They saw Dot standing at the end of the door; they all waddled to greet her.
(Now to the S.S. Fishy)
"Stupid phone, I sure hope they figured out what to do." Zane said
"I do too." Lily said
"I just hope no one else gets taken away from them. I'm worried about where they could be." Icetail said.
Suddenly, the phone line was cut back on. All the agents could be heard from the phone but the phone didn't ring.
GPS waddled over to Zane who was holding the phone. "It works?"
"Yeah, but they aren't calling or anything." Zane said
Suddenly everyone there heard a sound that made them all sick to their stomach. They heard a blood-curdling scream coming from the phone. It sounded like the other agents on the other ship. They didn't talk; it was just a loud and startling scream. The phone line was cut again.
"What was that?!" Lily exclaimed
"It was the sound of the agents screaming! They sound hurt and very scared." Zane exclaimed
"I don't like the sound of that!" GPS said
"I don't either, we're going to have to get on the ship and help them!" Icetail said
"Not on my watch." The agents turned around and saw Captain Flop standing behind them. "There's no way I'm letting you get on that haunted ship unprotected."
"We have to! Our friends are in trouble." Zane said
"No, you will not set foot on that ship! I cannot afford to lose all of you!" he shouted
"Our friends could be hurt! We're going on that ship." Lily demanded
"Fine, if you go on that ship, then I'm leaving!" Captain Flop said
"Then so be it, we'll do anything we can to save our friends." Icetail shouted
"Fine, get off of my ship!" Captain Flop yelled as he kicked the agents off of his ship.
The agents stood on the sky deck of the other ship and watched as Captain Flop sailed off with the S.S. Fishy.
"Well, I guess there's no turning back now. Let's find our friends." GPS said
Everyone began waddling onto the creaking and moaning floors of the haunted ship. Each of them was just as nervous as the next, but they toughened up and kept moving forward.
"S-so far, n-nothing." Zane stuttered
"Th-that's good, l-let's keep it that w-way." Lilly said frightened
Soon, the agents heard the sound of the screaming agents again. This time, even louder than before.
"I hear them! Let's move!" Icetail shouted
(Back with our other agents)
The rest of the agents were relieved that they had found Dot; they had been waddling through a long corridor that seemed endless. Soon, they found a door. The agents opened the door and to their surprise, it was Jet Pack Guy sleeping.
"Jet!" All of the agents shouted
Jet Pack Guy woke up, startled. "Woah, what? What happened?"
Dot ran up to him and hugged him. "We were so worried, are you ok?!"
"Yeah, I'm fine, why are you all so scared?" he asked
"Because you went missing! We were searching all around strange dimensions trying to find you." Rookie explained
"Missing? But I was here the whole time." Jet Pack Guy said confused
"But you were-…" Before Gary could finish his statement, all the agents were alarmed by a loud crashing sound.
"What was that?!" CC exclaimed
"That's what we're going to find out!" Goody said as she and the rest of the agents ran out of Jet's room and into the hall.
They continued running until they ran into the other group of agents.
"Guys! Are you alright?!" Icetail asked
"Of course, we're fine, why wouldn't we be?" Jet Pack Guy answered
"Jet! You're ok!" GPS shouted
"As I mentioned to them earlier, I'm fine. What in Club Penguin is going on?" Jet Pack Guy asked
"I'd rather not explain now, but we need to hurry because…"
Bellykid was interrupted by a loud moaning sound. Everyone knew what that meant; the ship was sinking deeper and deeper into the cold abyss of the ocean. And the agents are still trapped inside.
Oh no! The ship is sinking deeper and deeper! I wrote a lot in this chapter. The next chapter will be the last, but again, I have a surprise for all of you. So stay tuned for the last chapter of Stranded.
