A/N- And In this chapter we meet the three who forced me to update this darn thing, not real people... muses.
A/N- And you thought forcing the Zatch Bell Cast to listen to songs by Danny Elfman was torture.
Chapter 11
My Muses are crazy
Zeno, Zofis, and Brago walked away from the group.
Zeno walked to the east toward a rickety bridge.
Zofis walked forward to a dense shadowy part of Random Town.
Brago walked toward the west, toward the setting sun.
However, the three were unaware of who was lurking in each area.
Zeno walked across the rickety bridge. Wooden planks fell out of the bridge, splashing down into the river below. "Darn bridge!" Zeno muttered. Suddenly a hand emerged out of the river and grabbed Zeno's ankle, dragging him down into the river.
"You're coming with me!" A gurgling voice said. "Come with me!"
"Nooooo!" Zeno shrieked, terrified for his life. "I'm too young to die!" He struggled with his submerged assailant.
The unknown assailant jumped out of the water, still grasping Zeno's ankle. He was a young boy about Zeno's age and height with blue hair, slightly tan skin, and gray eyes. He wore a blue shirt and pants. His face was covered with a Sea-Creature Mask.
Zeno looked at the menacing creature. "Who the heck are you?"
The creature did not reply; he dragged Zeno into the river.
A/N- DUN! DUN! DUN!
Zofis walked through the shadowy forest. Trees blocked out the diminishing sunlight. Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him and a swish of cloak. He continued to walk but the footsteps continued to follow him. He whirled around to face a little girl in a purple hooded cloak. The girl lifted her head. Zofis gazed into her crimson eyes and pale face. She too wore a mask, this one of a grim smiling skeleton. She then whipped out a scythe. "Now, Zofis! I shall reap your soul!"
"It's not my time yet!" Zofis said. "I don't want to die!"
"I'll reap your soul!" The psychotic girl said. She thrashed her scythe wildy. "Die, you evil freak!
"No!" Zofis screamed. "Don't kill me! Please!"
And Now for Brago
Brago walked toward the setting sun. It felt good to see the sun set. There was a hole in the ground ahead of him. Brago walked close to it and a boy garbed in a white sheet (Ghost costume) levitated out of the hole. He had blank gray eyes.
"Don't worry, Brago, unlike my cohorts, I will not attempt to kill you!" the boy said.
"Cohorts?" Brago asked. "what cohorts?"
"I have two," the boy said. "One wears a sea monster costume, the other in a grim reaper costume. Would you care if I led you back to your group?"
"Okay, I don't care!" Brago said.
Meanwhile, Sherry, Koko and Dufort were looking for their mamodos. "Where could they have gone?" Dufort asked.
"They went of for a walk," Sherry said.
The fish-man appeared near the group, dragging Zeno trapped in a fish net. The reaper girl followed close behind. Zofis walked ahead of her, still trembling in fear. Brago and the ghost boy appeared next.
"Now who the heck are you?" Kiyo said.
"Explain yourselves!" Kanchome added.
The fish boy took off his mask. His face looked very much like his mask. "The name's Hook!"
The reaper girl removed her mask next. "I'm Line!"
The boy removed the sheet covering his body. He was a skinny blond boy with pale skin. He wore a sorcerer's gown. "And I'm their leader, Sinker!"
"We're Senku's little Henchmen!" Line said. "And her head muses!"
"And my agents of chaos and terror!" Senku said. "Did these little demons scare you?"
"They sure did!" Zeno said.
"You need to keep a leash on this terrible trio!" zofis remarked.
"Not really!" Brago said. "I got stuck with the nice one."
"Nice? No one has ever called me nice!" Sinker said. "That is... after they met these two weirdos!"
"There are others, but they're not like us!" Line said. "They're more terrifying!"
"Yeah, like the scissor girls!" Hook said.
"Silence!" Sinker barked. "Don't tell them about those she-demons!" The trio walked away.
What is it about the scissor girls that makes them so terrifying? Find out in the next chapter while I let my kid sister play the computer.
