Chapter 9

Ashkii and the two pups came in. Ashkii was wearing a Slayer shirt from their farewell tour, Corey was wearing an Entheos shirt and a River Otters of Nihil hat, while Piper was wearing her soccer uniform but also had on a Gojira hat.

"Hey what is goin' on?" Ashkii asked, "How did all of your equipment end up in the house. Did you bring that all in?"

"It was NOT any of us," Lizzy said, "We didn't even have our instruments when we entered the house."

"And I never brought my guitar over to this house in the first place," Weaselton said as he smoked a very strong-smelling blunt.

"And I can't even get my drumkit through the door in one piece," said Revi.

"We think it might be a magic spell that Aires cast on us," I said.

"That makes the most sense," Piper said.

"And" Palmer said, "Alister suspected that it might be a trap."

"We are worried that something is going to happen if we touch one of our instruments."

"Weird AF," Corey said, "Not Kawaii."

"I suggest," I said as I stood up, "that we let some of our close ones know. We should let Dashley know about this. Let's even let Honey Badger know about this. Maybe she knows what happens next."

"Okay," Ashkii said, "that would make a lot of sense."

"I'm going to go text both of them right now," I said, getting my phone out, "I'll tell them that- "

As I was moving around, I accidentally hit Revi's kit.

"Oh fuck," I said, "I really did it. What the fuck is going to happen now?"

We waited in suspense for something to happen.

"Alright," Emmitt said, "Well, it's been a whole minute now and nothing has happened, so I think we are safe."

"Good," I said, "but I still don't have a fucking clue why all of our instruments are in the house. I mean, Palmer's keyboard can barely fit. He himself is 15 feet tall."

"And even more with Antlers included," Palmer said, "but that's seasonal."

"I mean, who the fuck would have done this," I said, "It seems to not be Aires this time."

"I mean, maybe it has something to do with the McFluff bloodline?"

"Could be," I said, "but this even seems to weird for Angus to do, I mean why the fuck- "

Suddenly, the room started to swirl around. Objects became blurs and the whole sight was dizzying.

"Okay, what the fuck is happening now?" I asked.

"Weirder and fucking weirder," said Weaselton.

"for djevelens kjærlighet," said Revi.

"This is definitely not the terrorvortex," Emmitt said, "this is something completely different."

Suddenly, all of the swirling stopped.

"What the fuck is next?" said Ashkii, "Just, whoever the fuck is doing this, please show us."

We were slammed forward with a neck-snapping speed. It was even faster than the fastest roller coaster I've been on.

"What the fuck is happening?!" Corey shouted.

"What the fuck is this, Doctor Strange?" Asked Piper.

It definitely did remind me of the "out of body" scene in Doctor Strange.

"Maybe Ralathor is doing this," I said, "Part of the prophecy. He is like the Doctor Strange in this world now."

Suddenly, the colors started to swirl again. Everything was looking weird. Revi was multiplying like cells, while Weaselton had suddenly gotten very large. Palmer had shrunk, Lizzy had her tail get very big, and Winston had his get very small.

"Where the fuck is my head!" Emmitt shouted. I looked over to see that his head had pretty much disappeared.

"I'm falling apart," Ashkii said. She was literally falling apart.

"I've been re-arranged," Corey said. He had two heads where his legs should be and something else where his head should be.

"Sdrawkcab gnihtyreve gniod m'I dna!" Piper shouted backwards.

Weaselton was huge now, Palmer was tiny, and there were at least 5 million Revis and growing. I then took a look at myself.

"Oh fuck. I don't feel so good." I said. I realized that I was disintegrating. My feet were the first to go and then my front paws were starting to go as well.

"I want to go back to the terrorvortex!" I shouted, but no one else seemed to hear me. My body was going piece by piece. Now I was only left with a head, and even that was disintegrating into dust quickly.

"Goodbye everyone," I said.

Right as the last part of me disintegrated, we were spat out onto the ground. I looked at myself and saw that I still had every body part. Everyone else was back to their normal selves as well.

"That was fucking awesome!" shouted Piper.

"And I thought the terrorvortex was weird," Emmitt shouted.

"Where the fuck are we?" Asked Ashkii.

I looked around. There were tall buildings everywhere, among them was a statue of Aires that was even taller than the rest of the skyscrapers in the city. I saw next to me the city's main train station. There were also broken-down streetcars. There was a massive plaza that was completely empty. All of the civilians were on the side, looking at us. I also saw a familiar park with a pond in it. However, the pond was all lava. Also, near the center, were Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, still encased in stone.

"Oh shit," I said, "We're in Savanna Central."

"It's all changed," Revi said, "Like a complete ghost town. All the citizens are standing on the side. It's like they don't want to go in."

"And it's all evil as well!" said Weaselton, "And Hopps and Wilde ended up here."

Suddenly, there was a loud whooshing noise, and our instruments landed right next to us. Surprisingly, nothing broke,.

"It's like the instruments are following us," I said, "What the fuck does this mean."

"Everyone," Corey said, "Look."

Suddenly, we saw an army descend from the sky.

"Oh shit," said Lizzy.

"It's Aires," said Palmer.

"And he will fucking kick our asses," Winston said.

Aires and his army of evil stood on the other side of the plaza, facing us directly.

"So," Aires said, "We meet again. I will ascend to the highest power possible. Zargothrax was just the beginning. Soon, all of you will be completely powerless!"

"Oh shit," I said, "it's for real now."

Suddenly, a disembodied voice sounder from the sky. It was not Aires, but someone completely different. It uttered four chilling words.

"Welcome to the battlefield."
