Endor:
episode #15 The Maurder Gnats and Anuvuin
Sky,
runs to save them, even though they are evil.
She still has the hatchet. She
knows she should aim for the eyes. But
as she approaches it, a tentacle grabs her...and....she fights it.
Id cries, "Help
me!"
Sky says, "What
do you think I'm trying to do?"
She cuts off the tentacle holding her and
falls to the ground. She stomps on the
creatures tail. It turns angrily again
on her and grabs her. She tricks it
into thinking she'll cut off the tentacle, so it's poised and ready for that
since that's what she did the last time.
She aims at the creature's eyes, catching him unawares...he lets out a
giant shriek and releases all 3 of his captives. She hits it again with the hatchet and kills it. Id and Iot take that moment to run further
up the mountain.
Sky yells after
them, "I just saved your lives...the least you could do is thank me."
But her words echo off the side of the
mountain. She shrugs her shoulders and
hurries down the mountain to join Walker and the others once more.
"Walker, she
says as she approaches him, "are you all right?"
Walker has now woken up and is rubbing his
head.
"I'm fine.
And you?"
"I'm fine, too. Id and Iot went further up
the mountain."
"Ah, don't worry about them. We're through with them."
"Where are we, anyway," says Jed.
"We must be on some island or something,"
says I.
"Walker, do you realize that Id and Iot
sabotaged your ship for the race," says Sky.
"What?
So they.... those dirty...." says Walker.
"Let's explore this place," says Sky. "I'd like to know where those two went. Come
on, everyone," says Sky.
She and I run up the mountain, careful to
avoid the areas where a creature might come.
Now, this is what Id and Iot have been doing. After the animal released them, they took off running. They came to a point in the mountain...a
flat area with a cave. They were tired
from all the events leading up to this.
"Let's hide out
in the cave," says Id, after catching his breath.
"Id, what is that?"
Id looks over to where his sister is
pointing. Close to the cave is a
strange thing. Very strange. Stranger then anything they have ever seen.
"I don't know. Let's check it out," says Id.
This strange thing happened to be what they
concluded as some kind of energy thing.
It was a wall of these strange lights.
Some gray rocks are toughing the energy thing. They paid no attention to them.
Id and Iot move causally towards it...after they're sure it's safe, they
run at it. But they don't hit anything.
They find themselves on the
ground. Suddenly, a bunch of orange
gnats fly towards them.
One of the
gnats, the biggest one says, "Greetings.
We are the Maurder Gnats and you had best join us...or we will kill
you!"
Id looks at Iot, "Where are we?"
"I have no idea," says Iot.
The Maurder Gnat
Leader says, "You are on
Anuvuin."
Id and Iot glance at each other. "Never heard of it," says Id. "Should we
join them?"
"I don't know,"
says Iot. "But what have we to lose?"
