*THIS JUST IN!*
Due to the cliffhanger in the last chapter, the authoress and her co-authors are unable to introduce this next chapter, for the main villainess, Darkarai, had vanished in a puff of smoke when our heroes attempted to catch her, taking the book of which is her prison with her so that the protagonists wouldn't be able to suck her back in it, let alone destroy it. The authors and the cartoons in this chapter are, as we speak, grabbing items they'll need to capture the antagonist, let alone preparing themselves for an upcoming shock… and possibly a music-number.
The authoress would also like to give her Reviewer Thanks to:
Fangface the Second: …the authoress stated that she has a special idea for Ricky and Pocca, thereby unable to leave them out of the story *include smiley here*
Tracker78: …the authoress couldn't resist putting that bit in, as she has admitted.
Wherever Girl, Tracker78, and Fangface the Second also added that they do not own Fangface or any other cartoons you may see in this story, just their own OC. …Which would explain why the authoress burst into tears before handing in this bulletin.
Here is the next chapter. The authoress hopes that you will enjoy.
*We now return to our regularly-scheduled fan-fic*
Everyone ran out of the apartment to the Wolf Buggy and a couple other vehicles to track down Darkarai. …If you feel like you just missed something, please read the author's note above.
"Quick, we have no time to lose," Edwin said as he climbed into the front of a black SUV. "We must catch Darkarai before the next full moon."
"Why is it ALWAYS before the next full moon?" Brielle said, rolling her eyes at the cliché.
"Because my cynical friend, that's when Darkarai reaches optimum power." Lamone sneered, then took out a calendar. "And, according to my research, the next full moon will include a lunar eclipse."
"And… that's bad, right?" Luca asked.
"Luca, picture the end of the world, then picture something worse than that, multiply it by 1000, then mix it with the worst movie sequel you ever saw." Edwin said.
"I-It's THAT b-bad?" Stutz gasped.
"No… it's worse." Lamone said, darkly.
"See ya!" Fangs said, running to leap out of the Wolf Buggy, but Puggsy pulled him down.
"Oh, no you don't! YOU were supposed to be guarding the book, so YOU'RE coming along!" Puggsy snapped.
"Hey, OUR cousin wasn't the one who unleashed a demon, pal! (grr)" Fangface retorted… then cringed when Toni gave him a hurt, angry glare. "Ooh, ooh… Sorry."
"Shut up, and lets get going," Toni snapped.
"Wait for us! Wait for us!" Kiff cried as he and Blackrose came running to their parents.
"Oh, no you don't! You kids are staying here!" Hunter said, grabbing her daughter and turning her around.
"Aw, mom! Can't we come?" Blackrose whined.
"No way. You guys are too young to be running after the antagonist," Brielle said, sternly.
"But Fangpuss always went hunting bad guys with all of you when he was OUR age! Even younger!" Kiff argued.
"We never had to go after a demonic witch who could throw the world into chaos." Puggsy retorted, grabbing Kiff by the shoulders. "We need you guys to stay here and keep out of trouble. We can't afford to losify you." With that, the parents climbed back into their car, and the groups drove down the streets.
Kiff and Blackrose looked at each other. "Still going after 'em?" Blackrose asked.
"Duh," Kiff replied, and together they started running down the street.
When they got downtown, the gang wasn't surprised to see that Darkarai already began her fun. Buildings were already smashed, people were running and screaming, cars were over-turned, cats were marrying dogs, and other chaotic stuff was going on! "Dang, not even half an hour and already that creepette destroyed half the city!" WG said.
"She couldn't have gotten far," Biff said. "C'mon, we'd better split up and search for her-"
"Whoa, hold up, Biff!" Edwin said, frantically. "When going after Darkarai, splitting up is the LAST thing you want to do! That dark-hearted sorceress has ways of deluding people, and is able to bring your darkest fears to life! If we split up, that would give her a greater chance of taking us out."
"Um… alright… then everyone: stick together."
"No argument in that," Timothy said, gripping a shot-gun, shaking.
"Timothy Fangsworth, where did you get that gun?" Hunter gasped, shocked. "Didn't we tell you never to touch those dangerously lethal machines?"
"You never told me that! …Besides, I got it out of your closet."
Everyone stared at Hunter, who cringed. "Oh, stop gawking. It belonged to my father, when he was teaching Martin and I how to hunt pheasants. I just wanted to keep it as something to remember him by."
"You could have brought home a picture, not a gun!" Fangs scoffed.
"Oh, it's not like I was ever going to use it!" Hunter then grabbed the gun out of Timothy's hands. "And I don't want you to, either!"
"I-I wasn't going to shoot anybody! I just wanted to carry a weapon so I wouldn't be so s-scared…" Timothy said.
"Timothy, you have nothing to worry about." FF2 said, patting him on the back. "As long as we stick together like Edwin said, we'll be fine."
"He's right, Timmy." WG said. "That dark sorceress won't bring US down as long as we remain united. It's like Roosevelt once said: 'We have nothing to fear but fear itself.'"
Timothy then froze, his eyes wide. "I-Is that what 'fear' looks like?" he yelped, pointing upward.
Everyone looked up, gasping at what they saw. It wasn't only Darkarai hovering above them… but also two foes that they thought they had defeated… two enemies they thought they were rid of… two enemies who they thought were dead.
"Dark-Al?" FF2 gasped.
"Nether-Girl!" WG shouted with shock.
The two dark-halves of the authors chuckled, smiling evilly. "Miss us?" Dark-Al asked.
"B-But, this is impossible! You're supposed to be dead!" Brielle gasped.
"We WERE dead…" Nether-Girl explained, sneering at the authors. "But, as it turns out, YOU guys aren't the only 'cartoonbrids' in the story!"
"What's a cartoonbrid?" Luca asked.
"A combination of a cartoon and a reality person- we'll explain later." WG said, taking out a pair of guns. "Right now… we've got some butts to kick."
"Ha ha ha! You honestly think you can beat us?" Darkarai laughed, her voice sounding Indian. "We have the upper hand. Surrender now, and perhaps your deaths won't be painful."
"Bring it!" Kite snapped.
"Suck it!" Dark-Al snapped back.
"Blow it!" Eric retorted, and Fangs gave him a shocked glance. "…What?"
"Oh… I'll 'blow' it alright," Darkarai said, and with a wave of her hand she sent a powerful gust of wind flying toward the gang, making them fly back.
"Remind me to never ask for a blow-job…" Luca grunted, rubbing his head.
"Being my OC, you'd better not." WG snapped.
"(grr) Ooh, ooh, she might blow hard, but I can blow harder!" Fangface growled, taking in deep breaths. "I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll-"
"…Be a pelt on my wall!" came a voice, and a bullet shot by Fangface, missing him by a mere inch. Everyone gasped, seeing another foe they had grown to hate: Marlow.
"As if we didn't have ENOUGH creeps to deal with," Kitefang sneered.
"We'll handle Marlow," Biff said, then turned to WG, Tracker, FF2, Edwin, and Lamone. "You guys try to take down Darkarai and get that book from her," he turned to Brielle, Hunter, Hardy, Stalker, William, and Alyx. "You guys try to handle Dark-Al and Nether-Girl."
"Like you guys can take us!" Nether-Girl shouted with a laugh, and the two dark-egos and sorceress shot off in different directions, while Marlow ran down an alley.
Despite Edwin's warning before, the gang split up. Music began to play, and Puggsy slapped his forehead. "Oh, c'mon! NOW?" he griped.
"This can only mean one thing…" Toni sneered.
"Bad guy song!" Fangs cried out.
Darkarai, Dark-Al, and Nether-Girl (in electronic voices): There's a place downtown
Where the freaks all come around
It's a hole in the earth,
It's a takeover of the world
"Oh great, now THEY'RE going to sing!" Brielle sneered, referring to the villains, as she, Hunter, and Gin raced after Dark-Al.
"Remind me to stretch copyright issues with Wherever Girl, later," Puggsy muttered as he, Kitefang and Fangface ran after Marlow.
Darkarai: When the dark
Of the night, comes around
That's the time
When my power starts to rise
And I start
My uprise
Darkarai disappeared in the shadows behind a building, smiling as WG and Tracker ran by. Waving her fingers, she made shadows spring out like a trip-wire, tripping them, then she shot off into the sky.
Nether-Girl: And now we're twisting up the town
Making it all upside-down
Getting all of our ammo
To prevent the next
Tomorrow
Nether-Girl leaped onto the back of a semi, jumping upward and grabbing telephone wires, pulling them down and tying them into a lasso, roping Hardy and electrocuting him. Stalker snarled and grabbed the wires and- having the ability to shoot lightening out of her palms- sent a surge of electricity up the wires, but Nether-Girl thought fast and tied them to Hunter's tail.
*BZZT!*
Stalker accidentally shocked Hunter, who glared at her.
Dark-Al saw Kite coming, then smirked and pushed an unsteady light-post. It fell toward Kite, almost crushing him but missing… landing on Toni in the process. Luckily, she was a cartoon, so there wasn't any REAL damage… except for a large bump on her head. Dark-Al ran and Kite pursued, freezing in his steps and ducking out of the way when Marlow shot at him.
Dark-Al: Got my mind set on 'wrong'
Takin' all the 'heroes' on
Might kill 'em
But I don't give a
Nether-Girl (deep voice): I don't give a
Darkarai (deeper voice): I don't give a…
Darkarai, Dark-Al, and Nether-Girl: There's a place downtown
Where the freaks all come around
It's a hole in the earth,
It's a takeover of the world
Darkarai: And we're powerful
When we're taking over
When we're taking over
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: We're all taking over!
FF2 encountered Darkarai and switched to his genie-ego, trying to out-match the sorcerer's power with his own. She shot a shadow out at him, making it stick to his face and blind him, then sent a bolt of energy into his chest and making him fall into a dumpster
Tracker in the meantime tried to rope her with a broken chain she found by an over-turned bulldozer in a construction site, but a brick hit her in the head, making her see stars. Nether-Girl laughed, then ran off.
Darkarai: There's a world in mind
That's part of my design
Where it's all hardcore
And there's magma on the floor
Marlow threw gasoline onto the street then lit a match, making a wall of fire between him and Kitefang when the werewolf tried to attack him.
Darkarai: And we're-
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: Powerful!
Darkarai: When we're-
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: Taking over!
Darkarai: When we're-
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: Taking over!
Darkarai, Nether-Girl, and Dark-Al: We're all taking over!
Darkarai blasted WG, making her hit a brick wall, while Nether-Girl stretched out her arm and grabbed Gin by her shirt and threw her at Kite, while Dark-Al put a "Shoot Me" sign on Fangpuss' back which Marlow was about to respond to, until a lone figure from the top of a building shot an arrow at him. The werewolf hunter looked up to see who it was, but the figure had disappeared.
"Man, I picked a bad time to bring Ricky into a story!" WG grunted, looking at her little dog, who was suddenly randomly standing next to her.
"Aw, what a cute dog… let me pet him." Darkarai said slyly, reaching out a shadowed tentacle out of her back.
"ACK! Run, Ricky!" WG grabbed Ricky and started running like heck.
Lamone snuck behind her, reaching for the book, but the sorceress whipped around and shot him with a laser-blast from her palm. "Nice try, Lamone… Too bad your brother isn't here to help you, this time,"
Lamone scowled. "You leave him out of this!" he snapped, lunging toward her.
The sorceress only dodged, flying up into the air and laughing. The others re-grouped, panting hard. "Man, is it just me, or are these guys beating us?" Hardy panted.
"It's just you," The others replied, cynically.
"Just stay together. If we take out Darkarai first, Dark-Al and Nether-Girl won't stand a chance," Edwin said.
Unfortunately, the villains heard him from above. "Penalty: too many players on the field," Nether-Girl said.
"I'll fix that," Dark-Al said, then shot toward the ground, slamming his feet into the pavement and causing the ground to 'wave' upward, making the gang fly in different directions.
"AUGH!" the gang screamed as they all flew through the sky.
Darkarai: Lose your friends,
Lose them now
Lose your hope
And bow down
Nether-Girl: We're unbeatable
You'll admit
Dark-Al: Too much
For meddling kids…
"I don't know what's worse- the fact that they're trying to kill us, or their singing." Toni sneered.
Darkarai: Now you're gonna get smashed,
In my world-dominance bash
Dark-Al: You're gonna wish
You died in a car-crash
Nether-Girl: You might have a struck
Of some good luck
But we got you beat so
I don't give a
Darkarai (deep voice): I don't give a
Dark-Al (deeper voice): I don't give a…
Darkarai used to shadow-powers to lift a truck and sent it hurtling toward Toni. Fangpuss looked over just in time and tackled Toni out of the way, watching as the car smashed through a window, and he looked up and snarled at the villains. Nether-Girl only stuck her tongue out at him and flipped him the bird, and they shot off.
Darkarai, Dark-Al, and Nether-Girl: There's a place downtown
Where the freaks all come around
It's a hole in the earth,
It's a takeover of the world
Darkarai: And we're powerful
When we're taking over
When we're taking over
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: We're all taking over!
Marlow saw William lying against a broken wall and drew his knife, grabbing him by the head and ready to slit his throat. Three figures stood behind the wall, and the first one threw a rock at his head, catching his attention, the second one threw a bucket over his head, and the third one wrapped rope around his ankles and made him trip. Alyx arrived and the three figures took off, and she grabbed William and ran.
Darkarai: There's a world in mind
That's part of my design
Where it's all hardcore
And there's magma on the floor
Darkarai: And we're-
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: Powerful!
Darkarai: When we're-
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: Taking over!
Darkarai: When we're-
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: Taking over!
Darkarai, Nether-Girl, and Dark-Al: We're all taking over!
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl reached the city dam, and smashed their fists into it, making it burst and flood through the city, while Darkarai threw a red stone into it that turned the water into lava.
"Weather-update: extreme heat-waves to the south!" Nether-Girl exclaimed.
"RUN!" Biff shouted, running through the crowd of screaming people, passing by Kiff and Blackrose, not noticing them.
"What's he running from?" Blackrose asked, arching an eyebrow.
"Um… Blacky?" Kiff stammered, tapping her shoulder and pointing toward a wave of magma. "We'd better do what he says and… RUN!"
Darkarai: Oh, oh, OH oh… OH oh… OH…
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: We're all taking over!
"Something tells me we should run!" Luca gasped as he, Stutz, and Fangs looked at the oncoming lava.
"You THINK?" Stutz and Fangs both snapped, and they all began to run.
Darkarai: Oh, oh, OH oh… OH oh… OH…
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: We're all taking over!
"Quick, to the rooftops!" Lamone yelled, taking a leap and flying toward a building, landing on the side of it and climbing up.
"Wow, I wish I could do that," Fangface said, pausing in awe.
"Wish granted!" Hunter said, grabbing her husband and throwing him towards the building, then picked up speed.
Darkarai: Oh, oh, OH oh… OH oh… OH…
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: We're all taking over!
Everyone managed to reach a fire-escape, pile of crashed cars, slanted trees, and almost anything else that helped them reach the rooftops.
…Well, almost everyone. "Mommy!" Blackrose screamed as she and Kiff stood in the middle of an intersection, lava moving toward them from different directions.
"MY BABY!" Brielle screamed.
"There is no way my half-son is going to be burnt to a crisp," WG said, then stretched her body outward, quickly grabbing the kids and snapping back, and she gave Kiff a glare. "How many times do we HAVE to tell you kids not to run around during a flash molten-lava flood alert?"
Darkarai: Right now!
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: We're all taking over!
Darkarai: Right now!
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: We're all taking over!
Darkarai: Right now!
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: We're all taking over!
Darkarai: Oh oh oh…
Darkarai made the lava harden, while Dark-Al and Nether-Girl used their powers to zip through the buildings- literately- and make them crumble!
Darkarai: Right now!
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: We're all taking over!
Darkarai: Right now!
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: We're all taking over!
Darkarai, Dark-Al, and Nether-Girl: WE'RE ALL TAKING OVER!
"Alright! We get it!" Puggsy shouted. "Could you murdify us, THEN sing?"
"Pugs… shut it!" Kite hissed.
Darkarai, Dark-Al, and Nether-Girl: There's a place downtown
Where the freaks all come around
It's a hole in the earth,
It's a takeover of the world
Darkarai: And we're powerful
When we're taking over
When we're taking over
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: We're all taking over!
"There's no way I'm going down without a fight!" Hunter snarled, running across the building to attack Darkarai, but a figure leaped in front of her… a figure she knew too well. "Vincent!"
"Hunter?" Vincent gasped, jerking around. With him were two kids: a boy about 7 with dark skin, black shaggy hair, wearing black jeans and a black T-shirt and carrying a small cross-bow, and a tall lanky teenage boy who wore the same clothes the werewolf hunter wore, with a wide-rimmed hat that hid his face.
"So… you're in on this too, eh?" Fangface snarled, running up and lunging toward the hunter.
"What? No wait, I-"
Too late.
*POW!*
Fangface punched him, making him fly back. "Sensei!" The little boy gasped.
"Fangface, look ou-" Tracker gasped.
Darkarai: There's a world in mind
That's part of my design
Where it's all hardcore
And there's magma on the floor
Darkarai: And we're-
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: Powerful!
Darkarai: When we're-
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: Taking over!
Darkarai: When we're-
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl: Taking over!
Darkarai, Nether-Girl, and Dark-Al: We're all taking over!
*BAM!*
Marlow leaped out of nowhere and kicked Fangface upside the jaw. "Say your prayers, you son of a-" he began to say, until the building began to shake.
*rrrrruuuuUUUUUMMMBBBLE!*
Dark-Al and Nether-Girl had shot through the building, making it crumble, and everyone began to fall!
…On the bright side, the villain's music-number finally ended.
When the gang came to, they climbed out of the rubble and onto the hard, moltenfied street. Darkarai, Dark-Al, and Nether-Girl landed on the ground, smirking. "You guys give up, or are you thirsty for more?" Dark-Al asked.
"Okay, the next guy who rips off a movie-quote gets a foot in the throat. I'm not kidding!" Brielle snapped, trying to regain her balance.
"Face it, guys… you don't stand a chance this time." Nether-Girl scoffed. "I mean, we're already up to 12 pages and you guys hardly put a scratch on us!"
"We're not giving up! We never give up…" Kim retorted. "We'll beat you!"
Darkarai laughed, stepping forward. "Foolish girl… I'm the most powerful being on earth!" she sneered. "What makes you think you can beat me?"
"Because heroes always triumph over villains like you!" Kiff snapped.
"Maybe in the past… but not now!" Darkarai then zipped down the street, seeing two kids walking with a cloaked skeleton.
One of the kids, a girl wearing a pink dress with a flower on it, having blonde horn-like hair pulled back by a black headband, looked up at the skeleton. "Grim…" she said in a dark tone.
"Oh, c'mon! What makes you think I did this?" The skeleton protested.
"Ooh! Because you have an all-powerful scythe that can cause all sorts of chaos?" The other kid, a boy wearing a white T-shirt with a blue stripe, red cap, and sporting a large nose guessed excitedly.
"…Something I need to borrow real quick." Darkarai said, running up and taking the scythe, then shot into the air, slicing it through the sky and making a large, swirling portal.
…which began to suck our heroes (and anyone else within a 3-mile radius of the chaos) in! "Oh… craaaaaaaaaaap!" WG screamed as she and the other authors were sucked into the air.
"Augh, someone help!" Gin screamed, flying upward.
"GIN!" Biff shouted, grabbing her hand to pull her down, but only ended up getting sucked up himself.
"It's 'Swapping Lives' all over again!" Fangs screamed, running in place but eventually got sucked up as well.
"Pugs! Help! I'm falling upwaaAAAAAARD!" Fangface screamed.
"Yow!" Puggsy shouted, shooting up. Someone grabbed his hand, and he looked down and saw Brielle, hanging onto him, while holding onto a lamp-post which slowly began to unbolt.
"Brielle! Grab my hand!" Vincent cried, ducked behind a crumbled section of a building that blocked the portal's suction, and he grabbed her wrist.
"Let go of me!" Brielle spat, twisting her hand out of his. "I don't trust you… I never will again!" she pulled out of his grasp and shot upward.
Vincent ducked back down, a hurt expression on his face.
"Mom! Dad!" Timothy and Blackrose both screamed, almost being pulled into the portal, but Alyx and William managed to grab them and pull them in an alley.
"Mom! Dad! …Other Mom! Other Dad!" Kiff cried, looking at Brielle, Puggsy, WG, and Hardy as they all were sucked in. He began to shoot up to, until a pair of hands grabbed him.
"Gotcha!" Toni cried, suddenly getting pulled up to until another pair of hands grabbed her.
"And we gotcha!" Luca called as he grabbed her legs and Stutz hung onto his waist.
"And I've got you!" Marlow chuckled, preparing to shoot them, until a car shot by and smacked into him.
Lamone ran up and grabbed Stutz, pulling all the kids into an alley with their friends, watching as the rest of their gang was sucked into the swirling vortex.
"Give me that!" The skeleton snapped at Darkarai, swiping his scythe back and shooting a blast at the portal, making it close.
"Kill-joy!" Darkarai snapped, shooting him with a blast of energy, then grabbed Dark-Al and Nether-Girl. "C'mon, guys. Lets blow this popsicle stand." With a flash of light, they were gone.
Gone… like half of the gang.
The gang had split up… but this time they weren't going to be coming back together.
*THIS JUST IN AGAIN!*
The authoress and company are unable to decently end this chapter, for the fact that they were all just sucked into a portal, heading into an unknown realm. They wish to inform you that the song that was sung was a parody of Kesha's "Take It Off", and that you will review this chapter, but not flame, no matter HOW bad the villains' song was, or else- in the words of Wherever Girl- you will have a live badger shoved into your underpants while being forced to croon and hitting yourself with bricks.
That is all.
