Me: Hey, if u haven't heard, I didn't get a part, it's okay though. Anyway, this is for all of you who actually review becuz you're awesome. Anyway, this story is coming to an end and for those of you who have a hard time following along (don't feel bad!) Lucida, the evil ex-juju, is gonna reveal her over all plan. There are only a few chapters left! Omg! Disclaimer: I don't own Tak unless there is a February 32nd. And unless you're stupid, there isn't.
Cleya: and.. Never mind. Just read people. Heh, maybe there should be a Tak musical so AliJo can say she was in one!
AliJo: that's my next project! Now read this one:
Jeera, Cleya and Keeko had finally caught up with Tak, and after much persuasion (that is threats from Jeera) and arguing, they were slowly convincing him to let them help.
"No,"
"COME ON TAK!"
"No,"
"I'll be your best friend!"
"Jeera, you are my best friend."
"C'mon Tak! Let us help!" pleaded Cleya
"Yeah man! We can totally like benefit your survival skills. We got dedication, we got focus, we got..Hey, that rock is shaped like my head." Said Keeko and he put it next to his head to prove it. "See? Like twins man."
"See Tak? If we turn back now, we'll get lost!" said Cleya. "I mean, look at poor Keeko! Do you want him to be eaten by wolves? Because I will not be able to put up with him walking 7 miles back home."
"Tak, we stick together," said Jeera. "Remember? Friends till the end, even if the end means bringing back Zaria. Which it will."
"I can't put you guys in any more danger."
"Well too bad because we're not leaving." Said Jeera.
"Fine, but I warned you. I don't know what Lucida is planning, but I'm sure it's dangerous."
"Whatever it is, she won't be expecting all of us! We have her outnumbered!"
Little did they know, she was and they didn't.
"Are we there yet?" whined Cleya.
"For the twelfth time no! See I told you, you guys shouldn't have come. But nooo, you just had to."
"Well if you hadn't gotten us lost.." commented Jeera
"We are not lost." Exclaimed Tak
"Then where are we?" she asked
"We're..Okay, we're a little lost," admitted Tak. "But I totally know where we're going."
"Where?"
Tak responded with a series of mumbles and grunts.
"Where?"
"Uh…let's set up camp." Said Tak. " We can continue in the morning."
"I second that," said Cleya. "Because I for one am in no hurry to bring Zaria back."
They unloaded the
supplies they had brought and started a campfire. Tak tried to move
some rocks with his magic but they just started shooting around in
the air.
"Whoa," said Jeera avoiding one. " Someone's
stressed.
"Oh hey Jeera," said Tak. "Naw, I'm fine. I'm
just a little-"
"Stupid?"
"No, i..I don't know." Answered Tak with a sigh. " I just don't wanna let anyone down."
Jeera gave him a look, as if to say, and this is new how?
"I mean again."
"Tak, I'm sure it's all gonna be fine. You got me now, and when have I ever screwed things up? Said Jeera. "Don't answer that. Plus, if ya do mess up the worst that's gonna happen is we'll lose Zaria, and that would be nothing to cry about."
"I don't think Lucida would be too thrilled." Said Tak with a grin.
" Tak, do you honestly have any idea where we're going?"
"Why of course I, no. Not really, no."
"Well, best get some sleep then. Tomorrow's another day of aimlessly roaming in search of a killer insane lady, and Lucida." said Jeera. " Good night, Tak"
"Good night, Jeera." Said Tak putting out the fire. "Hey Jeera where's Keeko and Cleya."
"Well if Keeko was gone I'd blame Cleya but I don't know where Cleya is."
"That's weird." Said Tak. "I'd better go look for them."
"Um, hello?" said Jeera and gave him a punch.
"I mean we'll go look for them." Corrected Tak. " Oh, and oww!"
"Oh, shut up!" said Jeera. "C'mon, they probably went this way."
So they ventured into the woods to begin their search for their missing friends.
"We've been searching for hours!" complained Tak. "Are we ever gonna find them?"
"Tak it's been 10 minutes and-" but Jeera was cut off by a scream in the distance.
"Okay that was either Cleya or a howling monkey." Said Tak.
"Leave me alone Keeko!"
"Still, that could either be Cleya or a howling monkey."
"C'mon Tak! They could be in danger!"
So they ran to where they had heard the screaming, but when they got there, there was no sign off Keeko or Cleya. They looked around confused and then they were suddenly scooped up in two separate nets tied to a tree.
"Hey what's the big idea?" exclaimed Jeera. "Let us down!"
Then Kobo stepped out from behind the bush with a devilish grin on his face.
"Oh, I don't think so my dear," said the dork in a hat. "My mistress has great plans for her little runaway." And then he gave a snorted chuckle.
"Okay, then," said Jeera. "Anyway, not a chance!"
"I'm afraid you don't get a choice my pretty!" said Kobo. "You're coming with me!"
"You're not taking her!" said Tak. "You'll have to go through me!"
"Please Tak I can handle this," said Jeera. " If you want me you'll have to go through him! Can't you just keep Zaria?"
"Heh heh heh! I'm afraid not, I'll-"
Just then, a rock hit him in the head. He turned around and saw Cleya and Keeko, rocks in hand, ready to fire again.
"Put them down," said Cleya. "Or else."
"Or else what?"
"Or else this!" then Cleya turned to Keeko and nodded and Keeko revealed a catapult like object loaded with rocks. "FIRE!" and Keeko pulled the string and sent the rocks flying on to the air at Kobo.
"Ow, ow, ow. Stop it, stop! You're hurting me!"
"That's the point man!" exclaimed Keeko. Then Kobo ran away to avoid be pelted any further
How was that, man?" asked Keeko. "I call it the pulverizer."
"Yeah, it's really nice Keeko, but can you please let us down?"
"Sure man." Said Keeko. Then he launched another rock, which cut Tak's net's rope. Tak hit the ground with a thump. Then Keeko aimed for Jeera's net, and Jeera fell out of her tree, but luckily Tak caught her before she hit the ground.
"Awww!" exclaimed Cleya; as if it was the cutest thing she'd ever seen.
"What?" asked Tak?
"Nothing."
Jeera got what she had meant, and immediately pushed herself away from Tak.
"Let's keep moving," she said. "With Kobo here we have to be close to Lucida."
"But how will we know when we find her...?" said Cleya, pushing aside a bush.
Keeko came over to see what had stopped her and said: "I think that's how."
Tak and Jeera came over to see a giant castle with statues of Lucida guarding the front entrance. It was tall, with finely decorated windows and an extravagant doorway.
"Think it's a trap?" asked Tak.
"What do you think?" said a voice behind him, not belonging to any of his friends. He turned around and saw that none of his friends were behind him, but instead he was face to face with Lucida. "Come with me."
Before Tak could even call for help, Lucida had whisked him away into a dark purple cloud of smoke. Tak must have fainted, because he awoke in am arena-like coliseum. He looked around as he got to his feet and saw jujus and pupnunus alike sitting in the stands surrounding him. He immediately spotted Cleya and Keeko, and ran over to them.
"Guys, what's going on?"
"Tak, are you okay, man?" asked Keeko.
"I think so, yeah." He responded. "Where are we? What's going on? Where's Jeera?"
"Okay, 'I don't know' to all of the above," said Cleya. "All I know is this is Lucida's doing."
"That's all I need to know to know something's up." Said Tak.
"AND YOU'RE RIGHT!" boomed Lucida's voice from behind him. Tak turned to see Lucida standing behind him, with Jeera next to her in a crystal ball looking worried.
"Jeera!" exclaimed Tak, running to her, but as soon as he got close he received a static shock through his body.
"Tsk tsk tsk, in such a hurry to be the hero, he doesn't listen to the choices." Said Lucida
"Let Jeera go! It's me you want!"
"So true, so true. But do you truly want your little girlfriend back?"
"Yes!"
"Yes to you want her back or yes to she's your girlfriend?" asked Lucida with a smirk.
"What do you want?"
"Oh, foolish boy, it's not what I want, it's what you want." She began. "Now, it's no secret I desire your power of juju. And as you know, this also applies to my dear brother."
"He couldn't take it, it won't leave me!" said TAK.
"Willingly, it won't, but you must give it up. Now there are tough choices in being a shaman, and because I'm evil I'll present you one. Now, your juju power allows you to be the hero, without it your tribe could not survive. Now, whether they know it or not, they need you. And then there's Jeera, your best friend. The only one who's always been there, the only one who's never given up. Now what do you value more?"
"Tak, don't listen to her!" cried Jeera.
"What do you mean?" Tak asked Lucida.
"I mean, you have a choice: your powers or Jeera." Said Lucida. "Now chose your powers, everything goes as before only without your best friend there along with you to take the blow. Chose your little girlfriend here, and I get your powers. Which do you value more? Her life or your gift? What is your choice?"
Me: whoa, what do you think? Review and tell me! Duh duh duh!
Cleya: that is seriously messed up, just like mixing orange juice and toothpaste.
