"No! I can't go to jail! I want a lawyer!" cried Rock as he shook the bars on his cell. The guy who was laying on the bed gave him a quick glance and said, "So why are you here?"
Rock replied that he killed a lion. "But I don't see what's wrong with that. I mean where I live, me and my son Bangoo would go hunting all the times. It's the code of the wild."
The guy tilted his head in confusion and said, "So... are you like some kind of caveman or something?"
Just then, a police officer came up to Rock. "Sir Rock?"
Rock nodded. "Yes that's me. Are you letting me go free?"
"No, but you may make one phone call for today before your trail start in about... two days."
Thinking hard, Rock decided to call Xianghua.
At the Soul Land's gift shop, Xianghua was purchasing the Voldo translator machine when her cellphone started ringing. Flipping it open, she held it to her ear and said "Xianghua, Kilik's only girlfriend here. Who is it?"
"Xianghua! Please, you've got to help me!"
Xianghua could hear the evident distress in Rock's voice and she quickly asked him what was wrong. The man cried and answered her that he was currently in jail because he killed a lion. The situation was quickly explained and Xianghua told him not to worry. "I'll fetch Zasalamel. He'll know what to do. Just hang tight Rock; we'll visit you as soon as possible." Paying for her item, she ran off to find Zasalamel.
"Hey! Wait a minute Bangoo! Please stop running away from us!" Hwang cried out as he, Yun-Seong and Seong-Mina pursued Rock's son. Even though they were strong warriors, Bangoo was used to running around in the wild and escaping from dangerous animals so he was getting farther and farther away. The only one who was capable of matching Bangoo's speed was probably Kilik.
The three panted to a stop and groaned at the pain in their sides. "This isn't working...we need to... find another way," Yun-Seong said tiredly.
The three nodded and quickly began discussing their courses of actions. "We should probably find Rock and tell him about this first. And then, we'll find some way to capture Bangoo using Zasalamel's powers of reading the future," Seong-Mina suggested.
"Ok, let's hurry then," said Hwang as the three left to look for Rock and Zasalamel.
"Push it more to the left Zassy," said Tira who was leaning against a window as Zasalamel and Mitsurugi pushed their new sofa into the living room. It was quite amazing that their treehouse had five floors, three bathrooms, a big kitchen accompanied by a large dining room and of course, there were enough bedrooms for everyone.
Mitsurugi and Zasalamel shoved the red sofa to the left but then Tira's gloomy side spoke up and said, "No, push it back alittle to the right."
The two groaned and pushed it back. But of course, life was sometimes cruel and Tira's jolly side said, "No no no. Push it to the left some more Zassy."
This went on for awhile...
Peeking from behind a bush, Amy, Dampierre and the Greek sisters were lying in wait to ambush the furniture delivery men who were loading Team Draw's remaining purchases into a large moving truck. They would sneak into Team Draw's headquarters and bug the place with hearing and other spying devices. To be more specific, Amy and the sisters were hiding inside a giant crate while Dampierre was observing. The plan was called The Trojan Crate. Dampierre was say that this is a gift from the furniture shop for purchasing so many exspensive items and when the three girls are safely delivered into their headquarters, they would proceed with their espionage.
Taking their time, they waited for everything to be packed in. When it was done Dampierre quickly shove the crate forward and he called out to the moving men. "Wait, you've forgot this!"
"Huh? I was pretty sure we have everything," one of the men said hesitantly.
Inside the cramped crate, Amy, Sophitia and Cassandra were trying to push each other out of the way for some breathing space so one of the men noticed that the box was slightly moving. "Hey, is that box moving?"
Dampierre grinned nervously and said, "No, you're just imagining things." He kicked the box and turned back to the men with a fake smile. "Oh look, it's Ivy in a white bikini!
The men quickly looked around for the gorgeous alchemist and Dampierre seized his chance. Using all of his strength, he tossed the box into the moving truck and assumed a nonchalant stance when the men turned around. The girls inside stifled their cries of pain as they were tossed inside and the box rolled to a stop among some of Team Draw's dining goods. "Curse you Dampierre, I think my back is broken," Cassandra mumbled.
"Can you get your abnormally large breasts out of my face," said Amy who was trying to shove Sophitia away from her. After looking around, the men turned back to Dampierre and said, "Are you sure? We can't see Ivy anywhere," one of the men said sadly.
"Oops, my mistake. Oh, look at the time, you guys should get going before your customers gets impatient," Dampierre gestured to his watch and the men quickly agreed with him.
"Good point dude, we wouldn't want that Zasalmel guy to suck us in his black hole like Raphael and his friends." The men looked over at the newspaper stand where that topic was still on the front page. Apparently, one of the nurses had snapped the picture and sold it for alot of money.
Dampierre watched the truck drive off before wincing at his strained back. It looks like he had pushed himself too hard when he threw the box in there. After all, with all three girls in there, it was pretty heavy. "Maybe that's why Cassandra and Sophitia never mentions their weight," thought Dampierre.
Sitting in their beds, Kilik, Yoshimitsu, Talim and Raphael gave each other the –we're going to commence the plan-look. But then Talim spoke up and said, "What about Nightmare? Are we just going to leave him here?"
They looked at Nightmare who was still hiding under the bed. The only reason he was in this room was because he didn't present a threat to people's safety and the hospital had ran out of rooms to stick him in. Raphael shrugged. "He's on the other team, there's no need to bother with him."
"Thou has a good point, but I wonder if we could use him to help our escape," said Yoshimitsu.
Kilik scratched his cheek and asked, "What do you have in mind?"
The man laughed and said, "Thou'll see...Now, does anyone have any leftover packages of ketchup from yesterday's lunch?"
Five minutes later...
A nurse was walking by their room when she suddenly stopped and gasped in horror. Pressing her face against the window, her eyes drank in the terrible sight. Nightmare was strangling the really hot Soul Calibur superstar Kilik and Raphael, Talim, and Yoshimitsu looked like they were dead. Blood (ketchup) was splattered everywhere and if she doesn't do something, more blood will be spilled. She ran away screaming for a doctor and some more nurses and someone with the keys to their room.
"I think I'm going to sneeze..." Raphael mumbled quietly into his pillow.
From her position on the ground, Talim said, "Just hold it in Raphael. That nurse will be coming back very soon to unlock our door."
"Do you think she can hurry it up? My arms are starting to get really tired." Kilik was grasping one of Nightmare's hands around his throat while the other one was holding the unconscious man up. Yep, they had dragged him from under his bed and knock the poor guy unconscious to portray this scene. Yoshimitsu had upturned all the beds and ripped a few pillows while Talim spread ketchup around the room. Raphael had helped Kilik get into position along with trying to make Nightmare stand up and they were now awaiting their chance for freedom.
"Guys! They're here!" said Yoshimitsu. All the 'dead' people quickly shut their eyes and held their breath.
The door slammed open and three doctors and the nurse walked in. "Oh my god! What happened in here!" cried one of the doctors.
The nurse ran over to Kilik and began helping him. "Mister Nightmare! What's gotten into you!" and she tried to pry Nightmare's hand off Kilik's throat but it was Kilik who was actually holding on to it.
"Everyone! Now!" cried Kilik as he shoved Nightmare away from him and into the nurse.
Raphael leapt off his bed and with a blanket in hand and he threw it over two of the doctors. Talim grabbed her blanket and ran over to the window to cover up what they were doing. Yoshimitsu and Kilik captured the other doctor and nurse and Yoshimitsu grinned. "My blanket is wide, but it lets nothing through."
"Nice try remixing your quote from the game but it just sounds lame," said Raphael as he strolled over to their captured victims. "Right, it's time to commence the next part of our plan."
"Sorry," mouthed the priestess and Kilik toward their captives.
A few minutes later, three doctors and a nurse left the room and locked it securely. Kilik was now Doctor Yuga and Yoshimitsu was now Doctor Yoshi. Raphael was just known as Doctor and Talim was nurse Windy, I mean Wendy. Kilik waved goodbye to the others as he looked for the ventilation system to infiltrate. Raphael and Talim headed toward the cafeteria because Talim said the wind said so.
"Are you sure the wind said that?"
A gust of wind slapped Raphael. "Ok, I guess the wind said that." They headed toward the cafeteria and Raphael gave Talim another pill to swallow.
Yoshimitsu looked at the PDA in his doctor's coat and saw that he would be talking to Ivy and Setsuka in twenty minutes. "Let's see... where is room 423?"
"You know what! I think this is the perfect spot for the sofa!" And Zasalamel let go of the red sofa that he and Mitsurugi has been pushing back and forth for the past hour. The thing slammed onto the samurai's foot but Mitsurugi held in the painful tears and only let out a small "Ouch..."
Tira laughed and said, "Yep! It's prefect!"
Zasalamel resisted the urge to strangle her and with a sigh, he turned to head toward his new bedroom for a much needed nap. Tira jumped up and down at the new Pokémon clock they've just installed in their living room and said, "Oh lookie! It's two o clock! I'm gonna go visit Nighty."
"I think I'll come with you, I need to get my foot X-rayed," mumbled Mitsurugi who was still trying to hold back his tears of pain.
Tira ran over to one of the empty crates and began digging around looking for something. "Ok, I found it! Let's get going Mitsu!"
Mitsurugi frowned at his new nickname but he looked at the small wrapped present in Tira's hand and asked, "What is it?"
"Oh this? It's Nighty's get well present."
Mitsurugi wondered what could it possibly be but he shoved the thought away and the two headed out of their treehouse/headquarter.
Just then, Xianghua, and our beloved Koreans ascended the ladder to the treehouse and scrambled around looking for Zasalamel. "Zasalamel! Where are you?" shouted Xianghua.
"Hey dude! Are you in here?" Yun-Seong glanced around the empty living room.
Seong-Mina popped up beside him and said, "Maybe he's decorating his new bedroom?"
The three and Xianghua climbed up a set of stair and without knocking, they shoved Zasalamel's door opened. Everyone froze at the sight of Zasalamel putting on some Pocahontas pyjamas for his nap.
"Are those what I think it is?" mumbled a stunned Hwang. Who knew that Zasalamel was a big fan of that Disney princess.
But anyway, Zasalamel face turned red with fury. "DON'T YOU PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO KNOCK BEFORE YOU ENTER!"
The four gulped nervously and gave him a sheepish smile. "Well... we have a really good reason for it," said Seong-Mina.
"IT HAD BETTER BE A GOOD REASON! HURRY UP AND SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!"
"Rock's in jail," said Xianghua
"We found Bangoo." Yu-Seong added.
"And then we lost him."And Hwang included in the last bit of information.
After a few minutes of deep discussion, Zasalamel rubbed his eyes tiredly. "I'm going to try a find a lawyer for Rock and the four of you can go look for Bangoo near the water stages. Such as the watermill valley stage(Talim's stage), the Pirate Raid stage (Cervantes stage), the battle in the strait stage (Mitsurugi's stage) and lastly, the Lost Cathedral stage (Siegrfried's stage)."
Yun-Seong raised his hand up "Why are there so many stages to search from?"
"Because the only thing I can see in my vision is Bangoo being surrounded by alot of water and the only other hint was that it's a Soul Calibur three stage! Now will you guys just go and search already!"
The four of them ran out and Zasalamel collapsed onto his bed and fell asleep. Too bad he forgot to close the door so now; whenever someone walked past his bedroom they could see his Pocahontas pyjamas. Thankfully, the only person to walk by so far was Voldo but he was blind so he didn't see anything. Walking into his bedroom, he noticed a wrapped present sitting on his bed. He picked it and unwrapped it. "Hsshh?"
The machine turned on and it began translating every word he said. "What is this?"
"Shhsh hssh."
"Ah, Xianghua must've bought this for me," translated the translator.
He placed the translator down carefully on his bed and made his way downstairs to make some lunch. If Xianghua showed up, he would make her a sandwich to say thanks. Scaling down the ladder, Xianghua and the three Koreans bumped into Taki and Lizardman. "Where are you guys going off in such a hurry?" said the ninja.
Xianghua quickly explained the situation and Taki and Lizardman quickly agreed to help. "Ok, let's start our search at the Water Mill Village stage," Yun-Seong suggested. "After all, I've been to that stage in the real game." And Bangoo search party headed off to the Water Mill Village Stage.
As they left, the delivery van showed up and the men began dragging the furniture inside. How they managed to carry the object up a ladder, no one was really sure. But it was a good thing they had alot of pulleys. But that's not important, what's important is that Amy, Sophitia, and Cassandra had successfully infiltrated Team Draw headquarter. Popping out of the box, they gave each other the thumbs up and quietly began sneaking around.
"Psst... Maxi.. Wake up.. Psst!" Kilik groaned in frustration as his friend kept on snoring away. Up in the ceiling, trapped in the ventilation system, Kilik tried once again to wake his friend up. "MAXI! YOUR HAIR IS ON FIRE!"
"Ahh! Someone put it out! Quickly quickly!" screamed Maxi as he leaped out of his bed and began running around.
Kilik pounded on the vent and said, "Maxi! Up here! Get me out of here!"
"Kilik? What are you doing up in the vents?"
"That's not important. What's important is that you get me out of here!"
But Maxi pulled his hat down securely on his head and turned around. "I'm sorry Kilik. But I cannot do that."
"Why not!" snapped Kilik. Someone was turning on the vents and a cold breeze was flowing past him.
"I don't want you to see me like this," sobbed Maxi.
"What are you talking about? There's nothing wrong with you."
Maxi whipped around and took off his hat. "Take a good look at this Kilik!"
Kilik's eyes widened in horror. The world's curliest and biggest afro was sitting on top of his friend's head. "Woahh... So that's why you barricaded yourself in this room."
Maxi jammed the hat back on his head and squished the afro out of sight. "Now, do you understand?"
A colder blast of air blew toward Kilik and the man struggled to hold on. "Can we talk about this later Maxi. I'm sure we'll find you some kind of hair conditioner that'll fix this. I know, let's look for Siegfried! He has tons of hair styling products like you do. I'm sure he must have something."
"I guess you have a point. But I'm still alittle scared to leave my room," Maxi said sadly.
Someone turned the vents on alittle higher because Kilik had jammed up the ventilation system. "Hurry up Maxi! Get me out of here!"
"Why aren't the stupid vents working!" grumbled Tira who was pressing the controls for the vent to Nightmare's room. She was sitting beside her unconscious boyfriend and waiting for him to wake up. The doctors had told her about Raphael and his team little escape and she had sent one of her raven to tell Zasalamel about this interesting piece of news. She turned back to her boyfriend and said, "Wake up already Nighty. Don't you want to see your girlfriend?"
Nightmare let out a loud snore. Tira sighed and returned to cranking up the powers to the vent. The immense power ripped away Kilik's pants just as Maxi opened the shaft to let his friend out. "Ahh! I can't leave this room without pants!" cried Kilik.
Meanwhile, Raphael and Talim were having lunch in the cafeteria and Raphael was complaining about the food. "Sacrebleu! How can they expect me to eat this!" he exclaimed angrily.
Talim continued munching on her salad and she poured some more of the French dressing Raphael brought to their table. "What are you talking about Raphael?" This food id delicious."
The Frenchman stabbed his carrot and began playing with it. "I can't believe they ran out of steaks and chocolate! And I hate carrots."
Talim swallowed and took a small sip of apple juice. "I hate celery, but my mom still makes me eat it. You shouldn't be too picky Raphael. Vegetables are good for your colon."
He rolled his eyes at her and continued poking his food. "Well, has the wind told you where Siegfried and Hilde are yet?"
She shook her head and fiddled with her hat, "The wind said that all will be revealed in a few minutes."
Raphael gave her a questioning glance. "This wind reading ability of yours sounds kind of shady."
The wind struck him and he fell off the cafeteria chair. "Ouch..."
"Oh, I'm so sorry! Are you alright Raphael?" She helped pull him back on his feet. They noticed the other people having lunch in the cafeteria looking at them and Talim gave them a sheepish grin. "Ahaha... The vent system is kind of messed up today, right doctor?"
"Uhhh... Right you are Nurse Wendy. Someone should really fix that thing," Raphael lied quickly.
Just then, Kilik's pants hit the vent shafts and everyone's eyes widened at the strange sight. "Wow that is really messed up" said one of the cafeteria ladies.
Fiddling, with his tie, Yoshimitsu had finally found room 423 and a nurse was already there to greet him. "Good afternoon doctor, are you ready for me to bring the patients?"
"Yes, that would be a splendid thing to do. Thou should hurry and bring me my patients," said Doctor Yoshi.
The nurse gave him a quizzical glance and went to fetch Ivy and Setsuka. He had been waiting for about ten minutes when the door opened and Ivy and Setsuka came in. "Ivy! Setsuka! How splendid it is to see thy faces again!" exclaimed Yoshimitsu as he stood up to greet them.
Setsuka eyes narrowed at him. "That Japanese sword you're holding... it reminds me of Mitsurugi's sword."
Yoshimitsu glanced down to look at the sword he hid behind his doctor's coat. "Eh?"
Ivy glared at Yoshimitsu and said, "That mask he's wearing... it reminds me of Cervantes mask from his Soul Calibur 4 alternate outfit."
Yoshimitsu touched his mask and said, "Beg your pardon?"
Ivy and Setsuka let out a battle cry and charged toward their teammate that they do not recognize and Yoshimitsu let out a small, "You've got to be kidding me... Namu namu!"
Darkwings13: If you read Cassandra and Sophitia's profile, they only say that they lost weight so no one really knows their true weight. The PJ thing with Zasalamel was totally random but my sibling was watching that movie so it just popped into my head. I'll try to upload the next chapter in a few days or so. It's tough juggling two stories but I enjoy switching from action to humor. So, will Kilik leave the room without his pants? Will Nightmare wake up? Will Talim and Raphael be able to find Hilde and Siegfried? Will Team Draw find Bangoo? Will this madness stop? I'm going to answer that last question with a no. Keep your eyes open for the next chapter, bye bye.
