Etwas Trigger: Chapter Three: The Queen is Gone
Author: GuinevereKoopa
Fic Note: Eehh..Arglfrzm is an in-joke. I use it a lot. This part goes from where they find the chapel, the man-eating nuns, and Frog, to where they leave the past for the present again.
It was a chapel. At least, it should have been. It didn't look like much from the outside, and inside there was just a few nuns and some pixilated stained glass. They walked through, talking to a few of the nuns on the way.
Jsi realized that they were saying very un-nun-like things. Such as "I will eat your heart!"
'...Nuns are weird.'
They walked to the end of the corridor between the pews, where an organ sat.
"SHINY DOT!" Perlin cried, and immediately ran over to examine it.
There was a sound somewhat like "RARGH!" or "GRAH!" or "ARGLFRZM!" and all the nuns turned into snake-like monsters. Jsi smacked his forehead with his hand, cursing Perlin's curiousity.
There was a pseudo-boss battle against the nuns/monsters, which Perlin and Jsi won with some difficulty. Then more showed up.
"We're too weak to fight them! We'll lose for sure!" Perlin cried.
'...Well, if you're a LOSER...' He readied himself for another battle, but it was interrupted.
There was a flash of a blade and the monsters vanished. A creature was left standing there, holding a sword, poised for battle. He looked like a rather familiar blonde rabbit, but he had a green and brown pattern painted on his face, as if somebody had tried to make him look like a frog.
"Take that, foul beast!" he challenged, though the foul beast had already taken that.
"Niftiness?!" But Jsi's shout had the same volume as his previous shouts aimed toward Goyd and Perlin, so nobody heard.
Niftiness turned and looked up at them, standing there. "Move aside, I am here to save the Queen."
"Gah! It's a...it's a..." Perlin said, stepping back from the rabbit. "EEEEEEEK!"
Jsi blinked. 'It's just Niftiness with some paint on his face.'
"What kind of monster are you?!" she screamed.
Niftiness blinked. "Monster? Milady, I am not a monster. I am a frog."
"EEEEEEEK!" She ducked behind Jsi.
"I'm off to save milady queen," he said. He looked around the room, but there was no door leading out.
Jsi stepped forward. It didn't matter that he couldn't talk. For some reason, these people seemed to hear unstated things. It was weird.
"You're going to save the queen too, are you?" Niftiness said, looking up at him. "Well, I suppose two allies is better than just myself."
Perlin blinked and took a step toward the rabbit. "...Uhm...you're a frog..."
"Indeed. Though I do not wish to be."
"If we're going to team up for now...what do I call you?"
There was a rather long pause before he finally said, "...Frog will do."
'But your name isn't Frog! You're not even a Frog! You're a rabbit named GENJI NIFTINESS!' Jsi shouted in his mind, staring crazily at the rabbit.
"...Is this boy all right?" he asked, motioning to Jsi.
Perlin blinked. "...Oh, that? He does that sometimes. I find it odd myself. ...Oh! We need to hurry and save the queen!" she suddenly realized.
"Indeed."
And so, Niftiness/Frog joined the party to help them search for the queen. Jsi walked over to check the organ. 'There's always something about large instruments and video games...' A secret door opened on the other side of the room as soon as he hit a few of the keys.
They went through and found a save point. Hooray for save points! After that there was a lot of running around and fighting monsters, a room where there were monsters who thought that they were monsters in human guise, and... yeah.
The point is that eventually, they found a room where what appeared to be Queen Leene was. But she wasn't Leene, she was really some horrid monster. So they fought, and fought some more, and fought more. ...Actually, that wasn't the point. But I'm getting there, really.
At one point, they found a statue of a man with a cloak and a scythe. Jsi stopped in front of it, staring. '...He looks familiar...' he thought, looking the statue over. 'I wonder...'
"Crono! There's no time! They might kill Queen Leene!" Perlin insisted, so he lost his chance to ponder over it as they ran down the halls to find the queen.
They eventually did find her. It turned out she was being guarded by a thing called Yakra. Yakra looked a lot like a large fuzzy hamster.
"I am Yakra!"
'...No, dude, you're a hamster.'
"You will die for the sake of mystics! Or...whatever! I forgot my line, so insert something dramatic here and fight me!" So they did.
And they won. With "Frog" the rabbit in the party, it wasn't too hard.
So they saved the queen and took her back to the castle. Unfortunately, they had to save the chancellor too, so they did.
Once back at the castle and the Queen, who looked a lot like Doron, was reunited with the king, who looked a lot like her brother, Mope, Perlin, Jsi, and Niftiness were thanked for their deeds. Jsi just stood there pondering how the stupid twin people had managed to get the roles of king and queen, and how, since they held those roles, Goyd had been mistaken for the queen.
But the answer wasn't given to him, and Niftiness left the party feeling that he'd failed his queen. Perlin mentioned that Goyd may be upstairs now where she'd vanished, so they ran up to see.
As soon as they walked into the queen's room, Goyd reappeared. 'How convenient that she appear as soon as we walk in,' Jsi observed to himself. 'And that she be dressed in her own clothes again. Must be some whacked out changing room in nonexistance.'
"That was awful...it was so cold..."
'So nonexistance is cold?'
"But I'm back now! Thank you Crono! The real queen is safe, right? Let's go home!"
'...You are so out of character, Goyd. It's scaring me. Please, PLEASE, YELL AT ME before the world ends!'
"...WHAT ARE YOU STANDING THERE FOR CRONO?! Let's go back HOME!" she shouted.
'Whew...for a minute there I thought I might've died and gone to Mexico...'
And thusly, they walked back through the pixilated forest, onto the pixilated map, and into the pixilated portal. Well, actually, they stopped in front of the pixilated portal and Perlin showed them all her pixilated gate key that could control the dimensional gates.
'Yeah yeah I care, let's just jump through already, sheesh.'
They leapt through the portal, leaving the past, and the odd rabbit- like Frog, behind.
