CHALKZONE THE MOVIE: EARLY DAYS
Story by DarkHououmon
Rudy winced as Alt-Snap and Seyu collided head to head against one another. They grabbed eachother's hands, trying to shove the other to the ground. The evil Snap narrowed his white eyes in anger. "Let's see just how tough you really are." He bared his teeth and managed to weakn Seyu enough that he collapsed to his knees. Now on the ground, the white drawing began to raise up again. In the time that passed during this, Alt-Snap used this as an opportunity to strike. Folding his hands together in a single fist, he murmured a few small words that were inaudible. A few blue lights flashed by, and slowly a small blue fireball was formed in his hands. Seyu was just on his feet when he noticed a strange blue aura coming from his opponent. When he lifted up his head, he reacted too late. The flame struck him in the chest! He was sent flying back a few feet. He was now on his back, looking at his small injury. 'Man....anyone would've been lucky to get a SCRATCH on me!' He crawled back up to his feet, and formed a fireball of his own. "Two can play this game!"
I know when he's been on your mind
That distant look is in your eyes
I thought with time you'd realize
It's over, over
It's not the way I choose to live
And something somewhere's got to give
As sharing this relationship gets older, older
You know I'd fight for you
But how I can fight someone who isn't even there
I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you
I don't care if that's not fair
The dark Snap widened his eyes in surprise. 'Why hasn't he burned
out like everyone else?' Then he remembered something. 'Of course!
There's a chance that he really is from another dimension. Where he's evil...that
would explain his survival of the fireball.' Seyu's red eyes glinted
with darkness as he launched his own fireball towards Alt-Snap. The blue
one sighed in frustration. His dark smile signified what he was thinking.
"You are forgetting something, aren't you?" He moved his hand in front
of him. The red-orange fireball struck, then split into two small streams
of fire! The evil Seyu growled in anger. "I've got every power you've got."
Seyu stepped forward in a defensive mode. He snapped, "Oh yeah?! Well that
doesn't mean you can win!" "We'll just see about that, shall we?"
The small Rudy looked from left to right as he watched the dark drawings attack eachother with sheer force. He shivered a little, moving backwards. He was afraid of getting caught in the attacks. That's the last thing he needed. At the moment, he really did want to go home. But he knew he wouldn't be safe....not as long as Seyu was here in this time period. His own life was in danger! He turned towards the real Snap, whose eyes were locked on the battle. 'I wish I could go home and forget all this.' Little Rudy said in the privacy of his own mind.
Alt-Rudy grabbed Alt-Seyu's shoulders. He instructed the white drawing to tell the others that they had to get moving. If they stayed there any longer, they wouldn't make it out...alive. The brute force of the two powerful beings clashing into eachother like that would cause an aftershock. If they're caught in it, who knows what would happen. Penny, shivering in fright from the sight of Seyu and Alt-Snap fighting, hugged Rudy tightly. "Rudy....let's get out of here." The young boy blushed a little, not sure how to respond to that. But the girl was right. Alt-Seyu tugged at his shirt. "Excuse me, sorry to interrupt this....private moment, but, uhm....the other older Rudy says that we got to go. And he means NOW!" He said with urgency in his voice. Rudy and Penny looked at eachother, and nodded. Penny called out, "Snap! Let's go!" The good Snap, his eyes locked on battle, shook his head in surprise. He turned back towards his friends, who were beginning to move out. He turned his body around and ran after them. "Wait for me!"
Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
Alt-Penny rolled her eyes. 'He reminds me too much of our Seyu.'
She
watched as the blue drawing ran up to catch them. Alt-Penny finally realized
something. If they were seen with Snap, everyone would either think they
were traitors or Snap was attacking them. She would have to do something
to stop this. She halted in front of him, causing everyone behind her,
which was everyone, to stop dead in their tracks in surprise. "What's the
deal, Penny?" Alt-Rudy asked. She pointed towards Snap. "We can't be seen
running around with him around here. People would think he's tryin to attack
us!" The other Rudy cocked his eyebrows, then looked at Snap. He admitted
that Alt-Penny was correct. He took out his chalk, also white like the
real Rudy's, and drew a dark red cloak. It was similiar to the one that
Seyu used earlier, only this one was not as big. It was large enought to
conceal Snap from head to ankle. Only his blue feet were visible, and that
wasn't enough to give it away. Penny thought for a moment. 'I wonder
if this is going to work.' There was only one way to find out. But
they felt that it shouldn't be necessary to make contact with anyone unless
necessary. She saw the smaller Rudy standing next to her, worried. Smiling,
she knelt down and picked him up. "Hey girl." Jerking in surprise, the
hispanic girl shifted her gaze towards her back. Alt-Skrawl was standing
behind her! He smiled darkly, pulling out something from his red belt.
As he pulled it out, she could barely make a bright glint of light against
silver. She looked closer at the object, and found that the glint came
from a sharply pointed end, while the silver looked like a very thin triangle.
Little Rudy whimpered as he and Penny realized what the object was that
Alt-Skrawl had in his black hands. A large blade....and he didn't seem
afraid to use it.
Alt-Snap jumped above Seyu, and does a karate kick right into his back. The force caused Seyu to land roughly in the ground face-first. He skidded across the dirt floor on his stomach. When he came to a halt, his face had a few bruises on it. He looked at his chest and found a few cuts there. A little bit of blood started to stain him and the ground upon which he lay. His crimson eyes glowed brighter as he glared at Snap's alternate self. "Oh...." He said coolly, climbing to his feet, "You like to play rough eh?" His british voice was laced with not only hatred, but surprise as well. He was about to go at it again when he heard a loud scream. He shifted his look towards the female human, Penny. The one from his dimensioin, that is. Alt-Skrawl was standing in front of her, a knife readied. Seyu sighed disgustedly. He turned back to face Alt-Snap, but he had disappeared! 'What?! Where'd he go?!' He looked left to right trying to figure out where the evil Snap had gotten to. He found his answer above him. "Take this!" A medium sized fireball laced with blue radiance started to fall towards the white one. Thinking fast, he leapt into the air and passed the fireball! Only few marks remained effective as he passed through the flames. He then folded his white fist into a hand, and struck Alt-Snap right in the jaw. The blue one staggered backwards, blood streaming down his mouth. He examined it, then growled in anger as he realized that the other had slightly fractured his jaw.
There are times it seems to me
I'm sharing you with memories
I feel it in my heart
But I don't show it, show it
And then there's times you look at me
As though I'm all that you can see
Those times I don't believe it's right
I know it, know it
Don't make me promises
Baby you never did know how to keep them well
I've had the rest of you
Now I want the best of you
It's time for show and tell
Rudy and Alt-Rudy had noticed Alt-Skrawl trying to get the young Rudy and Penny. "Penny!" Rudy shouted, rushing over. The large drawing glared down at him. "Master Tabootie, so we meet again!" The boy halted himself in slight surprise. 'Master Tabootie? Guess there's more things we've in common than I thought!' "Skrawl....let them go." He said simply. The drawing growled angrily. In his hand he was holding Penny and Little Rudy tightly, not wanting to let them go so suddenly. He adjusted his crimson belt. "No." It was a simple word, yet he said it with such hatred and ferocity, then it almost made Rudy feel like Alt-Skrawl had previously made threats to him before. Technically he had, but not this one. The other Skrawl that he knew was last seen at the museum place where his earlier drawings were stored. Rudy's mind laughed as he remembered how Skrawl had tried to destroy him by sinking the museum, but his plan backfired by his own get-away plan!
"Why?" Rudy asked, though it was a stupid question.
"Because, I'm evil. Get it?"
This caused Rudy to go on a trip down memory lane again. This is exactly what the real Skrawl had said to him the first and only time they've met. He didn't know what happened to him. But even though this Alt-Skrawl wasn't the same one, he still felt threatened being so close to him at this point. The other Rudy scowled, "Skrawl, put them down. Now." "Oh, if your little friend couldn't make me, what makes you think you could?" Alt-Rudy's head started shaking back and forth. His hands on his hips like he was thinking 'wrong answer', he stepped forward. Rudy grabbed his hand to try and stop him. He said, "He does have a point there. What could you do to make him let go?" The alternate Rudy smirked, and winked. He mouthed a word. Rudy looked closer at the movement of the other boy's lips, and could read out a single word. Trade. 'A trade? What is he going to trade?' He thought he shouldn't question the other, and stepped down. Penny struggled to get free of Alt-Skrawl's grasp but it was useless.
Cause I want it all

Alt-Penny, Snap, and Alt-Seyu stopped when they realized that no one else was with them. The girl asked where everyone was. The two almost identical drawings stared at eachother, then back at the human, shrugging their shoulders. "Skrawl!" The shout came from Alt-Rudy from behind them. The three turned around to see Penny and Little Rudy in the alternate Skrawl's hands. A dark and sinister smile was on his face as he slightly tightened his grip. Little Rudy squealed in pain. Snap and Alt-Seyu gasped in horror while Alt-Penny began to run back towards them. She stopped in front of Alt-Rudy, she asked, "Rudy! What are you doing?!" "Making a deal." He said simply put. He held out his hands in front of him, signaling he wasn't going to do anything to the giant drawing that stood in front of him. "Let's make a deal shall we?" Alt-Skrawl used his free hand, standing on one leg now, to rub his face in consideration. Looking back down, he nodded, "I'm listening." "Why don't we make a trade? Those two in exchange for....me?" The others gasped in horror and their eyes widened. Alt-Penny grabbed him. "No!" She said, her voice emotional. "You can't!" Alt-Skrawl smiled evilly. "Well....we have a...." "WAIT!!" Snap shouted at the top of his lungs. He panted a few times. He looked at Alt-Rudy, then at Penny and the younger Rudy. Tears began to form in his eyes. "I won't let you give your life to this creep." He directed this towards Alt-Rudy. As more tears formed, his cheeks stained, he looked back at Alt-Skrawl.

"Huh? What's going on?" Alt-Snap questioned, just before he could attack Seyu. Their eyes shifted towards the others. It appears that Alt-Skrawl had gotten a hold of Little Rudy and Penny! They both walked towards the others, not making a move to harm eachother. Seyu's red eyes were fixated at Snap. 'What is that brother of mine doing?' He questioned himself. The other Snap narrowed his eyes in anger. 'What is Skrawl doing?' They then looked at eachother. "Well, what do you say we..stop fighting and work together?" The white one suggested plainly. He usually didn't work with anyone, but since he was here..he kinda had no choice. What chance would he stand against two Rudys? Alt-Snap smiled. "I still don't like the idea," He looked at Alt-Seyu, growling with hatred, "But I'll do it!" They shook hands, each one with a dark look on their face. They then looked back at Alt-Skrawl and Snap, wondering what's going on. "It appears he's making a trade." Alt-Snap said. Seyu's face registered with slight surprise. 'A trade?'
Alt-Skrawl narrowed his eyes in consideration. "And what do you wish to trade for me?" Snap looked back at Rudy sadly. 'I'm sorry, kiddo.' Rudy saw the look on his face, and he quivered a bit. 'S-Snap....no.....' He held out his hand towards his drawing, but then moved it back again, not wanting to bother the blue drawing. Summoning up all the strength and courage he had, he shouted, "Take me instead!" Penny shouted desperately, "NO SNAP!!" Rudy finally grabbed Snap, shaking him. "Why would you do that?!" Snap saw the tears forming in his creator's eyes. He put his blue hand on his face. "You love Penny. I know that." Rudy's eyes lightened a back, but the tears wouldn't stop flowing. "You love her....she is very important to you. Whereas I..." "Snap, don't say that! You're my friend!" Rudy shouted. Alt-Skrawl walked towards them. He lowered his hand to the ground. "We have a deal." He set the humans on the ground. He looked at Snap, who was in Rudy's arms. "Snap. We have a deal, remember?" The blue drawing looked at the drawing behind him. "Yes, I remember." He struggled out of Rudy's grasp. Penny's mind still couldn't accept what just happened. Snap had sacrificed himself to save her? "Snap! Don't!" This was the only thing she could get through her mouth as Alt-Skrawl roughly grabbed Snap with his hand. "Don't worry about me, guys! Get out of here!"

Seyu stared in surprise when he saw his brother sacrifice himself to save them. He looked at Alt-Snap, who didn't seemed surprise. He growled lowly, his blue arms folded tightly. His teeth were bared and his scar glowed a bit. He muttered, "He wasn't supposed to..." Seyu thought for a moment. 'If Snap gave himself up, then maybe we could....that's it!' A dark smile formed on his pure white face. He had the perfect plan on luring them all into a trap, and kill them all with one blow! Cupping his hand towards the alternate Snap's ear, he whispered something. The white eyes lit up in consideration. It only took a few words, and his frown transformed into a hideous smile. "That would work....that would work nicely..."
"SNAP!" Rudy held out his hand towards his drawing, who was being lifted into the air. Alt-Skrawl grinned. "He made a deal. So instead of killing you, I'll kill him instead!" With that, Snap's body felt instant pressure. The drawing was beginning to squeeze him! His eyes closed tightly as he could feel his ribs having more and more difficulty breathing in. His heart was beating faster and faster while his lungs felt like they were being poked with a needle. As the pressure tightened, he let out a loud scream of pain as he felt bone crushing inside of him. His lungs had been pierced by a couple ribs. Blood starting to pour form his mouth, forming a crimson stain on his chest and body. "Snap...." Rudy sadly said. The others were too surprised to say or do anything. All they could do was watch in terror as Snap was being crushed to death. Penny felt tears come to her eyes. She may have thought that Snap was annoying the first time she had met him, but now just when she was finally starting to get to know him more, he was being killed! "I don't want him to die." She whispered as she cried into Rudy's shoulder. "I don't want him to die either....."
Cause you and I
Could lose it all if you've got no more room
No room inside for me in your life
Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
It's now or never
"STOP!!!" A voice rang out. Alt-Skrawl looked towards the source of the voice. It came from Alt-Snap, who was standing next to Seyu. They had indentical looks on their faces. "Change in plan." He continued, and then pointed towards the others. Alt-Skrawl loosened his grip on the good Snap. He gasped deeply and painfully as he found he could breathe again. His breaths were scratchy and raspy. "Listen up! The other Snap and I are going to take your friend somewhere....if you want to find him....just try and solve this riddle: I am a creature forged of night with the eyes of light and with the fur of coal, stone, bark, and snow. What am I?" He chuckled. "You'll never solve it in time! Ta-da!" Snap stared wide-eyed at his little brother. He was being used as bait? "No..." He managed to choke out, then started to cough. Seyu turned around, and saw a glint of red exit Snap's mouth as he coughed. He snarled, then wiped his face. Surprised, he noticed, as he looked at his hand, specks of red. He leaned closer, and licked it. A raven's smile curled on his lips. It was blood. Snap's blood. 'Finally....blood drawn!' In unison, he and his new 'partner' lifted their hands, and struck downwards. The force of the impact created a cloud of smoke to rise up. Snap tried to escape but Alt-Skrawl was too strong for him. Stronger than he had comprehended. As his strength was giving out, he looked at Rudy with wide white eyes. "RUDY!!"

The scenery of smoke clouded everyone's vision for a few moments. As it finally settled down, they looked ahead and saw that the two had disappeared! Penny slapped her hand to her mouth and gasped suddenly. "Oh, no...what do we do now, Rudy? ....Rudy?" Rudy wasn't paying attention to her. His eyes deep in loss and doubt, he was staring at the area where the smoke once was. His body was starting to shake almost uncontrollable. "S-S-Snap...." He whispered. Penny's eyes showed complete understanding. Snap was captured. And knowing from how Seyu acts, even if they find him, there's no guarantees that he or they would get out alive. 'Seyu must be using Snap as bait...it's the only explanation!' She moved her hand towards him. Before she could get to him, he moved his body forward a few steps. "He....can't be...gone...." He whispered again. Sadness was in his voice. "R-R-Rudy?" Penny finally asked, keeping a significant distance away from the young boy. He turned his head towards her. Penny felt like crying too when she saw that Rudy's face and eyes were red and wet from crying. He bit his lip. He and Penny looked at eachother in the eyes for the next few seconds, then he rushed over to her. "Penny!" He cried emotionally, and dove into her arms for comfort. She stroked his hair as she whispered, "It's alright...we'll get Snap back."
All the others could do was watch. Little Rudy sniffed. 'Snap's gone....and it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for me!' The small boy could bare no more. The sight of his future self sobbing like that was getting to him. Without a second's thought he dashed towards the forest alone. Alt-Rudy heard a few rustling of the leaves. He shifted his head towards his back. "Hey, that younger Rudy is missing!" Alt-Seyu jerked in surprise. "But why would he run off?" Alt-Penny thought about this for a minute. That was a good question. Why? "I think it's because...maybe he blames himself for what happened. Could be." Rudy finally gained the courage to supress his tears. His friend may be gone, but if anything happened to his younger self....he was in danger of disappearing...forever. He managed to choke out, "Okay let's go find him!"

Alt-Skrawl was on patrol around the cave where Snap was being held prisoner. The blue drawing as out cold. The loss of blood added in with the rough ride was too much for his mind to handle. He was caged and shackled. The evil large drawing smiled at the other's misery. 'That's what others get for laughin' at me!' His ears caught a slight sound in the area nearby. It sounded like crying. 'Who would be dumb enough to come over HERE?!' He moved in closer towards the source of the sound, wondering who or what was hidden there. He gently moved the foliage apart, and found Little Rudy! He was sitting there, back turned towards him, crying his heart out. 'Hehehe....' Alt-Skrawl's eyes glinted in darkness. 'Looks like we've ourselves a fish who took the bait!' He reached into his red belt and pulled out a small net. It was actually used for fishing, but Little Rudy was small enough to fit into it perfectly. Alt-Skrawl advanced towards the small boy.
"Oh Snap..why?" The young Rudy hugged himself. His tears of shame and
sadness were started to get the best of him. He was told that strong boys
don't cry....but when you lose your best friend, can you not help but cry?
He looked up towards ChalkZone's sky. A few chalkbirds passed by. "Snap.....why
did you sacrifice yourself like that?" He gave out a few more sobs, then
gasped when he saw a shadow loom over him. "Why don't you ask him yourself?"
That voice! The little boy turned around and saw Alt-Skrawl standing right
behind him! He held a net above his head. Little Rudy's eyes widened in
fear. The net swung downwards.....and there was no way he could escape.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

End of chapter 6. Boy...that took me a long time to write. Nearly a month! Sorry it took so long. O_o; Anyway, the story's changed a bit. As in, it won't be the same as I first wanted it to be like. Now we know that Snap's captured. If you want to know why Seyu didn't just kill Snap right there and then, it's this: He now wants to kill Penny, Rudy, AND Snap. So he decides to lure them into a place so he can kill them all at once. Yes, Alt-Snap and Seyu are partners for now. They will not be fighting against eachother again after this. They were merely testing eachother's strength. Oh, yeah....I am thinking of having Alt-Seyu and Snap transform as well, though I am not certain how they would. ^^; Yes, I do like the song "All Or Nothing". I wanted to put it into the story. ^^; Anyone else like it?
