CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN

WELCOME TO TOON WORLD!

CELTIC GUARDIAN

Celtic awoke to see only blackness. But it was an unusual blackness, not the blinding cover conceling all. He could still see his hands, his cloths, even Dark Magician who was laying not too far away as clear as day. "Huh? Wha…Where are we? What is this place?"

"Erg." Dark groaned hoisting himself off his back. He looked around noticing the Sam oddness of this darkness, "This is unusual."

""Yeah. What's next?"

At that moment everything lit up in a flash of color and light. The same demented tune exploded up from the silence. All around them oddly shaped building at unforeseen angles appeared.

Object such as clocks, mail boxes, street lamps, appear to have faces and they were waving their 'appendages' celebrating.

Celtic Guardian and Dark Magician starred wide-eyed.

"Eh Dark?"

"Yes?"

"I don't think we're in the Wasteland anymore."

"Yehaa hoo hoo hoo!" came a sudden burst of laughter behind then.

The two turned around to see nothing 'unusual' behind then.

A stalky image appeared behind them again.

"I feel like we're being watches."

"Then you are not the only one." Dark replied in a hushed tone, waiting for an enemy to attack at any moment.

The creeping shadow behind him raised its arms until they were just at his head. "Wet Wheelie!"

The elf turned to the mage to see that a Dark clown stuck its fingers in Dark Magician ears.

The mage cringed and froze in his place with a disgusted/freaked out expression on his face.

Then the windly springy clown jumped in front of then and started jumping around in circles, "Hee hee hee hee! I love it when the tall guys cringe! I'd do you but I'm afraid I'd get lost!" the clown chuckles and squeaked as it slid up beside Celtic before flicking on of his long ears.

Dark, shaking nearly jumped in his place. He shot his hand up and ribbed his ears vigorously to get the sickening feeling off. "That…I did NOT need."

The jeering jumper disappeared for a split second and rose up in-between them. It threw its arm around the two and gave them a rib breaking squeeze, "I can see by your dull faces you're not from around here are you? Am I right? Tell me I'm right. I'm right right?"

"Well um…yeah…you're right." Celtic said rolling his eyes.

"Well then you're in luck fellas! I'm Petin and I'll be your friend and guide ni this magnificent world!"

Celtic and Dark (who was still cringing) briefly took another glance around at their unusual…and twisted surrounding. "What is this place anyway?

Suddenly Petin dashed in front of them, eyes bugging out, arms waving madly, and his frame almost completely misshapen, "What is this place! What is this place! WHAT IS THIS PLACE!" and just as quickly he stood normally with one hand to his chin and the other holding his elbow, "Well gentlemen, you are in a world of pain, a world of Chaos! A world of Absolute mayhem!" Petin then threw up his arms and hundreds of fireworks, streamers, and stars exploded above the buildings. The sky darkened for a few moments and the lighting dsplay lit up the sky, "Welcome, to Toon World!"

The wizard's eyes widened again while the elf merely cocked his head to one side, "Toon World? I've heard of Toon Monsters but I've never heard of a world of Toons."

"Where did you think they come from? The shy?" the clown said just before spinning around and stopping just beside a couple of Toon monsters whacking at each other with rubber mallets, "In this world nothing is as it seems," Petin then jerked one shoulder up literally knocking his head off his shoulders and rolled it down and up his arm like a basketball. And placed it back on just as easily.

The guys took a couple steps back, astonished, and disgusted at what they had just seen.

"There are surprises around every corner."

A giant Bakuri demon jumped out of a jack in the box behind them and slashed at them with it's sickle.

Luckily they both managed to duck out of the way just in time.

"So you better watch your step."

The tile on the walkway suddenly flapped down as a trap door leading to more darkness, yet the men were still above it.

"Cause it's a long way down."

Gravity immediately took control again and the two fell leaving a dust cloud behind.

"AAAAAAaaaaaaHHHHHhhhhh…..!"

They fell…and fell….and fell….and fell some more...

"(Yawns) How long have we've been falling?"Celtic asked trying to keep his eyes open from bordom.

Dark Magician shrugged and continued meditating cross-legged.

DARK MAGICIAN

"Yuk yuk yuk!" Petin chuckled.

The two of them jumped (so to speak) in surprise to see the clown falling alongside them so quickly. Upsidown.

Celtic look up, down, and all around, "How di…how did you….what are you doing here!"

The DARK clown gave then a two finger solute, "Just dropping by." The the masked clown suddenly dropped further down the hole, "Come on! Hurry!"

Dark and Celtic glanced at each other and looked down. Immodestly they accelerated downward again "Whooaaaa!"

Fweeeeep! Poooouuuu! Dark Magician and Celtic Guardian fell down the shaft and up through a trap door onto a monstrous pile of whoopee cushions.

Dark grunted annoyed.

The elf looked up confused. "Wait. We fell down…then we landed up…..and wha…How did this happen!"

The mage didn't bother to answer the elf's question and forced himself back on his feet staggering slightly, "One thing for sure, this world does not appear to comply with the laws of physics."

"You can say that again. Just how is it possible Einstein? I don't remember this being on any map." The elvan knight said placing a hand to his belt, then realized that his sword had disappeared.

"That's because we're not in the reality we know. I believe this has got to do with the magical book we saw earlier."

Celtic fished around in the pile of fart bags and managed to retrieve his sword back, "So what are you saying? We're stuck IN the book?"

Dark position his staff and armed himself, "I'm not sure, but one thing for sure, it's not going to be easy getting out."

Unwilling for further argument the two of them marched through the vast unstable field of blowing rubber sacks till at last they found some steady ground. There was no sign of Petin anywhere. They wondered through the narrowing streets searching for something to help them out of this mind-boggling trap. Or at least point them in the right direction.

All around Toon monster were bouncing around, hiding, or taunting then or others with their antics.

"You know Dark," Celtic said looking over his shoulders to the surroundings, "This place doesn't seem half bad. Sure it's strange at first but it actually seems peaceful here."

"Forgetting about your lover?" Dark questioned raising an eyebrow at him.

The elf turned back to the road ahead, "No I'm just saying this is a change from the calamity we've been through already."

"Someone! Someone please! Help!"

They quickly spun around to see a green haired Archery Girl Mermaid crawling on her arms and tail. Celtic rushed to her to see what's the matter. The middle and lower half of her body was glowing in fright light and she was frightened out of her mind.

"Help! Help me please!"

"It's ok miss, we're here to he-" but the elf's workd were cut off when the light quickly consumed her.

The two covered their eyes as the beam glowed too bright to tolerate. When the light finally faded they were shacked and surprised when a toonifide version of the original mermaid stood before them, in a large red clam shell with big beady eyes starring at them.

The Toon Archery Girl giggled hysterically and dashed off with the shell down the road.

"Did you see what I just saw?" The mage asked unable to blink in disbelief.

"Did she just….turn into a…"

"Yes my friends. She loved this place so much she decided to stay!" They heard a familiar (yet not so welcomed) voice behind them.

They looked to Petin who was grinning cheerfully.

The mage narrowed his eyes, "That didn't sound like joy to me."

"Well that's not really a choice in the matter. Everyone gets turned if they stay here more then a day."

Celtic quickly looked to the mage, "So that means..!

Dark's eyes grew even colder as he finished the elf's comment. "an 24 hours…we will become Toons aswell."

Meanwhile outside in the real world, in the rocky mountainous ravine a Magical Merchant Insect was traveling through when he stumbled upon the Toon World book laying lifeless on the ground. The Insect trader bent down to pick it up, "Hmm….what do we have here?" it stuffed the textbook into one of its overfilled sacks and continued down the road. "Whatever it is, it's sure to be worth a hefty sum."

Sorry if this is short but my notes have suddenly gone missing and I can't seem to find them. Omotics?

Water Omotics: Umm….I haven't seen them.

Dragon C. Chan: A nerple? What in the world is a nerple?

Anoymus: Can you please tell me what those new Toon creatures are? I'm afraid my town doesn't get the latest releases.
