Walk walk, where will you end up?
NOt much here, just a little traveling...not much fighting, which will come up soon, but it gives you an understanding of peace.
CCS does not belong to me.
And I think that by now, the story has become grusome enough that I'm going to make it PG.
Through the Underground
"Are we really going underground?" Rene asked suddenly. No one had spoken in such a long time it was weird to have the silence broken again. There were many things to talk about, but we didn't. Security was important. I had wondered the same thing. We seemed to be sloping, because here and there my ears would pop, but I could make them pop on my own too. We had started out level with the ground. Vash nodded, afraid to say anything. I clenched my fists, shaking all over, without knowing why. This was a nervous job.
Suddenly, Vash stopped. We all looked in front of him. There was a huge pile of rubble. The ceiling had kind of started to cave in, and a huge bolder lay right in the middle of the tunnel. There was no way we could squeeze past it, lift it, or walk over it. For one, the ceiling might top over any second and for two, it looked very unstable. There was a hole in the wall, and another screen was there. There weren't screen's everywhere, only some places where you could go in or out. Rene pointed at the screen and Vash shook his head. Instead, he looked to his left, the opposite of the screen. There was a tiny pipe, which looked like a sewage drain. Vash touched the inside of it and showed us his finger. It was very clean, since no sewage had ever gone through it and dust couldn't get in. Still, we didn't know that and it looked like a dump to us. Cherry sniffed. I had almost forgotten I was still holding her. I rubbed my nose against the top of her head (three big, green leaves), since we weren't permitted to talk. Vash bent down and crawled into the drain. Kelli followed, and so did I. Doughboy blinked, looked down at his obese body, shrugged and followed too. It took him quite a while to squeeze in. Kero flew in after him, and managed to make his way to my shoulder, a much more comfortable spot. After him came Liz, Rene, and Snowy. Kanari looked dubious at going in, but didn't want to be left alone out of nowhere, so followed rather quickly.
"We can talk now." Vash's voice seemed to echo. Cherry sighed with relief. "It echoes a little, but you can only hear it if you put your ear to the drain. It doesn't transmit."
"You seem to know a lot about these passages." Kelli said. Vash looked at her slyly.
"Well, I did come here sometimes when you were busy to explore." Vash said. "It was mighty fun." The tunnel widened a little. Doughboy sighed.
"Uh, much better." Doughboy was crawling as fast as he could, and sweating a lot.
"Better not crush me." Kero said. Doughboy growled.
"Hey, think about me!" Liz said urgently. "I have to look at his butt." There came some giggling.
"We've been traveling a long time." Rene said after the giggling stopped and was followed by a long line of silence. I looked at my watch.
"Hey, it stopped." I said.
"It does, because that's earth time." Vash said, digging into his pocket and crawling the whole time. Time was essential and he couldn't stop it crawling, because that would stop the whole line.
"But the second hand isn't even moving." I protested.
"Slow, yes." Vash said, pulling out a pocket watch. "It's four o'clock, and we've been traveling for almost two hours now, Uri time."
"Wow, that's a long time." Liz said.
"Yeah." Snowy agreed. "AM or PM?" Vash shrugged.
"My watch doesn't tell." He said. "It has roman numerals."
"Oh." Snowy said. "Too bad."
"Oh, I'm tired and thirsty and my feet hurt." Kanari sat down. By now the tunnel was wide enough to sit down and for two people to crawl side by side, but of course that would've been very difficult, considering the fact that the tunnel was round. But at least now they could crawl on their arms and knees whereas before they had to with their arms. However, this left prints on their knees, because the tunnel was like a long garbage can; it had lines dented in and out. My point is, we could see her sitting down, taking off her shoes, and rubbing her feet.
"Do you have a blister?" Vash asked gently. Kanari put her shoes back on and shook her head. "Then c'mon Kanari. I mean, we are sorry, but we're tired too and we have to save Nakita."
"He has a point." Kelli poked Vash, who started crawling again. Kanari followed.
"This is actually the long way." Vash explained as I passed Kanari a cup of water. "We were cutting under through the mines when we found that rock, so now we're circling until we reach the main sewer system."
"The main sewer system?" Kelli asked.
"Remember the dwarfs?" Vash said. "They used to come and visit us when we were little?"
"How could I forget?" Kelli asked.
"And they were hiding? Well, the main sewer is the place where they dwell. When we get to the end of this hole, it'll be wide enough to stand up, and then we will be able to jump out of this tunnel and only a walkway. There will be a walkway on each side, and a river in the middle. Don't worry Kanari; the water is clean, fresh, water the dwarfs use. There are houses of dwarfs on each side, where we can ask for food (don't worry, the dwarfs are our friends) and as we go along we will see other tunnels like the one we're in entering the main sewer, which the dwarfs call The Waterway. We can fill up our water, and then walk directly that way to the underground of the dome."
"Why are the dwarfs in hiding?" Rene asked.
"Well, because this was their land, but we took it over." Vash said. "They like us though. When they heard that Kelli and I were being sent off to the Third Dimension, they were mad, but we made up never to support Queen Jewel's cause and when we left they gave us presents." Vash smiled at the memory. "They're really nice. But they're scared of us, because they've seen the workers up there on the ground and don't want to be made like them. They know they will, and the sad part is that they're right. The Queen's men taught Kelli and me, but we were filled with the dwarf's wisdom, and we have ensured our trust. Kelli, you remember going through the waterway."
"Oh yes, now I do." Kelli said. "But not through the tunnels. We did visit a lot too."
"They're so afraid they won't even come out into the hidden passages." Vash said. "So when we go, we have to be very careful not to betray their secret accidentally."
"What secret?" Kanari asked.
"Where they are." Kelli said. "No one else knows."
"Except Clay the Elder." Vash said. "Those are the only ones you can trust, Clay the Elder and the dwarfs."
"They sound like nice people." I said.
"From a fairy tale." Kero said, who had been quiet all along. I just noticed he had been sleeping on my shoulder. Cherry too was now sleeping.
"Yes." Kelli said. "This adventure sounds like one too."
"But it really happens." I said.
"Okay, everyone sit up!" Vash said. The tunnel was getting higher. We sat up. "There's a great drop right now, to the Dwarf's land, though we still have to walk another quarter of an hour. When we make our way to the underground of the dome, we will be heading uphill."
"That makes sense." Liz said. "That's if the water flows that way." She pointed to the right. Because until now, I haven't mentioned that when we took a left into the tunnel, we were actually going right on Vash's map. But if you don't understand the geography, forget it. That's not important. What's important is what happened next, and besides, you will know when we're at the center of Uri when we reach the dome (no, not the core of Uri, but what everyone calls the center because it is the center, main area of technology and things being done. I learned that bit from Kelli).
"Okay, here comes the slide." Vash said. "Absolutely no screaming. It's very steep, but don't scream. Also, once you slide down there's no getting back up, so if you have any accessories, please bring them down first." Vash was eying some bread and jam lying beside Doughboy and Rene.
"We can't have a picnic now." Kelli whined. "C'mon, let's go Vash. I think they get the point." Vash slid down, and he disappeared. Several seconds later, something flew up in the air. Kelli caught it. I could hear Vash saying,
"Tape anyone's mouth shut if they start screaming."
"Thanks, but I don't think anyone needs it. On the second hand." Kelli trailed off and I look a piece off and sealed Kero's mouth shut.
"Don't sorry." I said to Kero. "I'll pull it right off when we get there." Kero nodded. Kelli threw the tape back at Vash, who caught it and beckoned for us to come down. Kelli slid down, and the rest of us followed quickly. Everything was fine (which means that jars of jam being thrown down from the cliff down was also fine) until it was Kanari's turn to come down.
"Uh." Kanari said, looking down.
"Kanari, it isn't that difficult." Vash called from the bottom. At the bottom, you were able to stand up and group together, since the tunnel was now as big as it would ever be.
"It's also less crowded around here." Liz added. Rene nodded.
"Even I came down!" She urged. Kanari whimpered and pushed off.
"She's going to scream." Vash said. Kanari closed her eyes, clutched her stomach, and rolled onto her side and slide down. She landed a few feet in front of us and got up.
"I." She said. "Am never doing that again."
"And I thought I was afraid of roller coasters." I said.
"Don't worry." Vash said, adjusting his glasses and looking at the map. We only have to go uphill and horizontally now."
"Uphill?" Kanari gulped.
"That so much to that extreme." Vash said. "More like a sloping uphill like we went through the first place."
"Oh." The group started walking again. Kanari sighed. Her feet were hurting again.
They walked for what seemed like a very long time, but was only half of what they had walked through the hidden passages. When at last, they came to the opening, they all breathed in for a breath of fresh air. I sighed.
"Why is it so light in here?" I asked. "This is a tunnel. It's supposed to be pitch dark. Vash shrugged. This was the first thing he had failed to answer so far.
"Beats me." He said. "Gee, I do wonder. But I'll ponder later. This way, please." He jumped from the opening. Kanari whimpered and I frowned. No another jump!
But what seemed like another jump proved to be only a foot high, and all of us jumped off nicely, without any hassle. Well, at least not much hassle.
"I'm okay." Rene said, handing us (the people who had already jumped) the jar of jam and the remaining slices of bread. Vash checked his watch. Rene jumped down, asking, "What time is it?"
"Quarter to six." Vash said. "I kind of hope it is morning."
"Why?" Liz asked, coming down.
"Not sure." Vash said. "So I can do stuff and know my way around. The darkness won't help."
"I wonder how this place keeps the lighting up." I said. "There are no lights."
"Not in the tunnel, you know why?" Kelli asked. "There's a fog creeping in there, but it's so crowded and things are so close to you in the tunnel that you don't notice. Dwarf fog keeps things lighted up."
"Interesting." Rene said. "They must save a ton on electricity bills."
"Why do you care?" Doughboy muttered but no one heard him.
"Weird." I said. "They have lights in the city."
"The fog must get in the way." Kero suggested. Cherry chirped.
"Aww, don't worry." Kanari said. "Nakita will be back soon. I promise." Cherry laughed gently and giggled. Kanari ticked her and she squirmed.
"Okay, let's get on our way." Vash said, moving towards the city.
"Again?" Kanari asked. "We move too much!"
"Actually, we stop way too much." Kelli said. "We've got to hurry if we want to get anywhere. And we want to, to rescue Nakita."
"Too true." Doughboy said. "C'mon." Kanari sighed and followed. She spent the rest of the way grumbling loudly. We sighed. It was some tiring trip to walk the whole way.
"One question." I asked.
"What is it now?" Vash asked.
"Vash, that's not nice!" Kelli said.
"Yeah." Snowy put in.
"Okay, what?"
"Well, when are we going to rest?" Vash shrugged and looked around at our surroundings. We were walking on one side of the walkway, and the walkway was hardly lined with houses like Vash had said, but that was probably because we hadn't walked far enough to the city yet. I guessed that there would be more than one dwarf city and was interested in learning their names. In the middle of the two walkways was a canal. Kanari went over, dipped her water bottle in, and got a drink. The rest of us followed. Vash looked at Kelli and sighed.
"Okay, but last break and stop before we get to the city." He said.
"Why couldn't we just fly?" Rene asked, drinking.
"Well, before, the ceiling wasn't high enough, but now, I guess." Vash was looking at the roof of the walkway. It was about as high as a regular school's gym, had lights on top. I offered Vash some water. After he graciously took it, he wiped his mouth and said,
"Here's the plan."
"Let's hear it." Kanari said.
"Let me talk." Vash grunted. Kelli patted his back.
"Vash is getting tired, so don't mind him." She said. We grunted, and so did Vash.
"Okay, we are going to see the dwarfs, and then ask them whether it is day or night. Then we are going to sleep." Vash said.
"Sounds interesting." Snowy said. "I can't wait."
"To rest up for our surprise attack."
"What if it's the middle of the day?" Liz asked.
"Then we attack anyways." Vash said. "We can't wait. And if you mean the middle of the day right now, we rest and attack at night."
"Sounds good." Doughboy said.
"We'll finish our rations of food and then ask for some tomorrow." Vash said.
"Some what?" I asked.
"Breakfast, of course." Vash said. "One last thing: Our mission is to get Nakita back and free these workers. While you've all been nicely resting at home, Kelli and I have bought a new planet."
"Bought?" Kanari asked.
"Yeah." Vash said. He whispered, "With Queen Jewel's money. I wonder how long it'll be when she notices it's gone (knowing Queen Jewel, no one said, 'That's mean' or anything). We will take the workers there after and let the Dwarfs rule this planet like they were meant too."
"Vash?" Rene asked. "When you, I mean us, finish this mission, where will you and Kelli return?"
"To Earth, I believe." Kelli said, grinning at Vash, who nodded.
"It would be weird if we suddenly disappeared and right after we got all the passports straight." Vash said. "We're going to stay. Queen Jewel and all her men are going to be destroyed, workers on their planet, and Dwarfs on Uri, so there will be no place we will stay. We probably will be welcomed to these places, but Earth is now and for ever our home."
"Yay." Rene said, smiling. Vash smiled too.
"Oh." Vash said. "Which reminds me, behave yourselves. We've got a reputation to uphold." And with that he started marching towards the city.
"Since when did he become our leader?" Doughboy grunted, bringing up the rear.
PLEASE REVIEWTHAT GOES TO YOU, MAINLY, VASH!!!!(SINCE YOU GO ON THE INTERNET SO MUCH, READ MY STORIES WHENEVER THEY'RE AVALIABLE, BUT NEVER REVIEW, AND DON'T TELL ME FIDO STOPPED YOU...)
Also, Vash, I burnt the kettle writing this...I forgot about it and overcooked the water by an hour. All the water had become steam and the pot was melting. We don't have a whistling one, that's why. And the door was closed. And it was smoking. ALL THE MORE REASONS FOR YOU TO REVIEW!!!!
NOt much here, just a little traveling...not much fighting, which will come up soon, but it gives you an understanding of peace.
CCS does not belong to me.
And I think that by now, the story has become grusome enough that I'm going to make it PG.
