The Peradventures of Dreamy Smurf

Chapter 29: The Island of Big Snakes Part 5

"I hope you're happy…" Blood Orange said before bringing the club as hard as he could right towards Coconut's skull.

At this point there was nothing anyone could do but watch helplessly as the primitive weapon swung towards the young Smurfling's skull. Dreaming watched, never taking his eyes away from the club as it swung through the air, it's target detected and the blood of it's last victim still flinging from the sharp edges. The moment it was about to make contact with Coconut's head the young Smurf fainted, falling forward face first into the chiseled stone tiles of the dungeon floor and everybody including Blood Orange jumped in shock.

"What the?.." Dreamy said completely puzzled.

"What happened did she have a heart attack or something?". Blood Orange said as he carelessly kicked the female Smurf onto her back.

"Hey, give her a break Blood she's just a Smurfling." Tomato says.

The bloodied Smurf turns to face his companion and aims his equally bloodied club at the Smurf's throat.

"If your so concerned about her why don't you die in her place?" Blood Oranged hissed, clenching his stained teeth.

"Listen! No Smurf has to die, but if we don't stop this madness and start working together every Smurf will die! Please! Listen to me! For once in my life I know what I'm Smurfing about here!" Dreamy pleaded.

"Even if you were telling the truth how would you prove it to me? Surely you don't expect me trust you just because your a fellow Smurf." Blood Orange says.

"Please... If we don't seal those caves all the Smurfs on these islands are going to die." Dreamy persisted.

"Ok, alright Captain I'll bite. Since your so sure of yourself here I would point out one is inclined to ask that if your not at fault for any of this then who is? Surely you'd have some sort of idea." Blood Orange says.

"All Witchdoctor mentioned was that theres a possibly that the attacker was one of the Deadly Seven. I'm still not entirely sure what it means, but this thing was no joke. It defeated Witchdoctor in a single attack!" Dreamy explained.

"The deadly seven you say? Then there's no way you could have possibly made this up. The deadly seven are a group of dark Wizards responsible for the curse being placed on Tropical Smurf. You haven't been here long enough to know our history this well." Blood Orange says.

"That was my point this entire time. I'm not lying we need get going quickly! You never know when those flies might get they're way h-" Dreamy was stopped mid sentence. Because in an instant one of the weakened walls behind his crew gave way and a thick cloud of black flies poured into the dungeon. All the time Dreamy and Coconut spent int the jungle added up and gave the flies the perfect amount of time to spread.

"Damn! They're everywhere! Quick! Eggplant, Tomato! Take the keys and unshackle these guys, take Ghost Pepper's tome and get off the Island of Big Snakes!" Blood Orange screams as he tosses the keys to the other Red eyed Smurfs.

"But brother, we couldn't possibly leave you behind!" Eggplant says, catching the keys.

"Damnit do as I say! Quick!" Blood Orange yells, cracking a fly upside the head with his club.

Dreamy finally breaks free of his bindings with his metal arm and quickly unties the other hand and stands up, picking Coconut up and propping her over his shoulder as a fly soars just past his tail barely missing it by an inch. He turns back to see his crew panicing, there shackles undone.

"Don't panic just follow my lead! let's move, now! into the jungle!" Dreamy commands pointing towards gaping hole in the dungeon exposing the jungle.

"Have you gone out of your Smurf Dreamy!? Those flies are still rushing in here from that direction!" Architect exclaims.

"Move! Now! That's an order!" Dreamy commands as he pushes through the thick cloud of flies, using his metal arm to bash them out of the way as ran threw them.

The others ran ahead of them as The red eyed Smurfs did the best they could to ward them off with their magic powers, but without Witchdoctor the full effects of they're combined magic was not enough and not all the flies could not be held back. Blood Orange turns around and faces Tomato and Eggplant who were still fighting alongside him and screamed.

"Get out of here! Now!" Blood Orange screams as takes several flies down with his club.

Tomato and Eggplant, shaken by the number of flies and by the nullness of their magic turned tail and ran in the direction Dreamy and his crew retreated in. As they ran Blood Orange was overwhelmed and several flies knocked him to the ground and bit his tail as he screamed in agony. His screams went from that of a normal Smurf to that of an infected Smurf and then to a dying Smurf in only seconds as his body was viciously torned apart by the black demon flies. The rest of the Smurfs retreated into the snake infested jungle. The sun was quickly blocked out by the thick canopy and the sounds of snakes moving about the trees could be heard. No doubt they were being driven towards the sounds of Blood Oranges painful death less than a mile away. Smurf's ran fast, but not fast enough. As they ran some of the flies could be heard buzzing around them, and at this moment Dreamy was really glad Coconut was not conscious to be put through this.

"Dreamy They're gaining on us!" Alchemist shouts.

"Gah, That's what I was afraid of. They must be made just to target us." Dreamy says.

"Us? You mean you! They want you Dreamy! Why?! What did you do?" Architect asks.

"I didn't do anything! I swear!" Dreamy says.

"Then why can't you at least explain what all this is about to us?" Fisher asks.

" I plan to, but just not now! Obviously I think getting out of here is the smurfier decision right now!" Dreamy says.

"Very conveinient that you continue to dodge that opportunity at every given chance!" Architect says.

The buzzing comes to a cease after awhile as the jungle becomes thicker towards the heart of the island and once they are able to they finally take the time to rest. They meet up with Tomato and Eggplant who have Witchdoctor's tome.

"I'm doing all I can Architect! I'm just as new to this as all of you are." Dreamy continued.

After Expecting a quick response from Architect that never came, Dreamy and every other Smurf present noticed Architect was not with them. The jungle eriely fell silent as even the most typical noises ceased. It was all to quiet.

"Where is he?" Fisher asked, looking around.

"He was was behind me just a moment ago when we were still running..." Alchemist says.

"There are many perils in this jungle. I do hope nothings happened to him." Eggplant says.

Dreamy looks up at him while kneeling down to lay Coconut against a tree trunk with suspicion in his eyes. These new Smurfs both had items of great significance and homefield advantange. If they wanted to kill them they could right now. However that little bit of suspision subsided when Eggplant stepped forth to give Dreamy back his sword. Dreamy returned his sword to his belt and stood up.

"Sorry about your Smurfs." Dreamy said.

"Their deaths are unfortunate, but if we can save the lives of these innocent Smurfs it will not have been invane. Fortunately Tomato here did some research with Witchdoctor as well so he knows many things this tome contains. The formula for the cure and the pesticide shouldn't be to hard to decipher." Eggplant said.

Tomato wore red, the color signifying leadership in Smurf society. He was wise and of few words. he nodded slowly verifying the validitity of the claims made on his behalf. These Smurfs knew the island well it seemed and were very wise. Things seemed to be looking up. Then it happend, a Black Smurf wearing a white cap hopped out of the thick foliage and tackled Tomato from behind. In the confusion Witchdoctor's tome flew out of his hands and landed into a mud puddle, the old book creating a decent splash as it sunk into the murky depths. Tomato fell forward to the ground and the infected Smurf bit down onto his tail much to the horror of Eggplant and everyone present. Tomato shouted out in pain.
