Here's the REAL disclaimer: I don't own anybody & anything except my OC's , their zoids & organoids, and the whole idea.
a/n: WARNING: Very creepy chapter! I was alone in the house when I wrote this, and well, it freaked me out a lot...
Chapt. 11 (?): The Muses Fight Back!
*later that night*
*boys' room*
Harry: *shivering* I c-c-can't s-sleep!
Brad: *relaxed and calm* Lighten up, Harry. Knowing Loki, they're probably playing a trick on us.
Bit: But it was kinda scary when they disappeared...
Raven: Hmph. Scared...? Me...? Make me laugh.
*door opens*
Karl: *enters* Nothing. No trace of them or whoever got them.
O'Connell: We couldn't find anything unusual.
Harry: Y-you m-m-me-mean...Th-they-they're g-gone?!
O'Connell: *nods* No trace. Nothing at all. They're gone.
Harry: *faints*
*girls' room*
Pierce: That was one heck of a story, wasn't it?
Leena: *swallows hard and shivers* Bu-but wh-wh-what if the gh-ghost comes for u-us...?
Tanner: We give 'im a left! An' then a right! *swings her fists*
Mel: Don't worry. They'll be back in the morning.
Seighart: Yeah! Tala has his beyblade to protect him!
Ice: And Kali has her ugly face!
Sharra: That bad, huh...? ^_~
Ice: Heh-heh...Kali isn't all that ugly, but it's fun annoying her about her looks.
Pierce: Heh-heh. You're an evil person, IceDragon. ^_-
Ice: *modest shrug* I try. ^^;
Ryou: I have my guardian angel to protect me!
EE: Guardian angel? Where?
*Kai Hiwatari appears*
Kai: *rolls eyes* You called, dear Ry---*stops* O.O HOLY MACKEREL!!! A GIRLS' DORM?!?!?!
Ryou: *evil chuckle*
Seighart: Wow, you look just like Kai from beyblade! Except for your wings.
Lamoo: Yeah! You look more like Loki!
Kai: *flexes his raven (the bird, people, not the zoid pilot) wings* They are pretty wings, aren't they? ^_~
Silvana: Is he really an angel, Ryou? ^_~
Ryou: No, just the result of a freaky experiment.
Kai: I'm already dead, of course. But Ryou thought it would be fun to tack wings onto me and bring me back to life.
Ryou: No, I did not! That was Boris' doing!
Kai: Boris! Oh, I'll rip his head off, yes I will! *cracks knuckles*
Ryou: Calm down, Kai!
Kai: Sorry, miss Ryou.
Tanner: *yawns* Well, maybe we'd all better go to sleep.
Ryou: Yeah. You'll protect me, won't you, Kai?
Kai: Huh...? Yeah, sure. G'night.
*hours later*
Kai: Man, I'm bored. I'll go exploring for a while, I'm sure Ryou won't mind. *floats out into the hallway*
*outside, still later*
Kai: Man, I'd better head back now. *turns around* Where was the cabin again...? *turns to the left* No, not here...*stops turning* Oh man, I'm lost!!! o
Voice 1: What...? Hey, there's someone out there! o
Kai: What was that?! OoO
Voice 2: Hey! Help! Get us out of here!
Kai: GHOSTS!!!
Voice 3: We're not ghosts, dummy! T_T;; Get us out of this shack!
Kai: Huh...? *stops flying away* Not...But how come I can't see you...? .
Voice 1: *sarcastic* 'Cause we're trapped inside this shed, that's why! T-T;;
Kai: OK...Where are you?
*light from a flashlight shines down from a tree house above Kai*
Loki: We're right smack above you. ^_~
*after Kai released the muses...*
Loki: WHOOO!!! YEAH!!! FREEDOM!!! ^O^ *soars around the treetops*
CW: I'm with ya there, bud! *flies to the top of another tree and eats the fruit* Yummers...Food...^-^
Kali: We are eternally grateful to you, Mr...Um...
Kai: Name's Kai.
Tala: What?! KAI!!!
Kai: Ah, Tala. One of Boris' little cronies.
Tala: I'm not Boris' henchman anymore!
Kai: Oh...? ^_~
Tala: Yeah! I have a proper mistress! Her name's Seighart! ^_^
Kai: *friendly* Hey, so do I! Her name's Ryou! ^_^
Tala: Wanna beybattle sometime?
Kai: Heck, no prob!
Tala & Kai: *walk off to discuss their beyblades and mistresses*
Kali: Where's everybody going?! ._. *runs after them* Tala! Loki! Dooooooon't leeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaavvvveeeeee meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! O
*early morning*
Kai: So, as I was saying, the Dranzer packs a fiery punch which is capable of subduing your Wolfborg!
Tala: Yes, and Wolfborg has enough ice power to turn your Dranzer into steam!
Kai: Wanna bet? ^^;
Tala: Sure! I'll give you access to my millennium laptop if you win!
Kai: Millenium laptop...? ^_~
Tala: It's a laptop which has access to all the databases on everything...*singsong voice* including beyblades...
Kai: No thanks. Not good enough.
Loki: Heeeeeeeey! You down there!!!
Tala: Hi, Loki! What's up? ^-^
Loki: Me, of course! Where are you going?
Tala: To the cabin! Where else?
Loki: *lands* You can't do that! They'll throw us back into that tree house again!
Kai: Why? What did you do?
Loki: We tried to pair these 2 people up with a love potion.
Kai: That's pretty corny.
Loki: *sigh* I know.
Kali: *comes stumbling out of the bushes* There you are! I was wondering where you were!
CW: Urgh...You're a slow one, Kali.
Kali: Forget that. Where are we headed?
Loki: *evil grin* Hmm...
CW: *whispering* Uh-oh, when he gets that look, you can bet he has a plan...
Loki: *pumps his fist in the air triumphantly* I have a plan!
CW: See...?
Other muses: Oh...*nod*
Loki: It's like this. We mess up the tree house so it looks like something came in and tried to kill us. When Mel and the others check on us, they'll discover the mess and freak out! ^o^
Kali: You're brilliant, Loki! ^-^
Loki: Thank you, Kali. Let's get to work, gang! It's almost time for the wake-up call!
A/n: Remember that warning up there...? Creepiness should start right about near the end of this paragraph...Oh, and don't get any 'ideas' about the paragraph after this one... _;;
*hours later*
Mel: Thanks for helping us back there with the ghost stories, Rob!
Robert: Hey, it was the least I could do! CW was getting kind of annoying, anyway...
Maelgwyn: Kind of, huh? ^_~
Mel: And thanks to Bit and Leena, too, for turning the lights off for us!
Leena: I'd have to agree with Rob & Maelgwyn...CW is an annoying one... .
Bit: And Kali...Well...I think she likes me too much...*shudder*
Ice: Be glad you're not Thomas.
Bit: Why?
Ice: She glomps him on a regular basis.
Bit: ._. Eeeeeeewwww...
*the group stops in front of the tree*
Mel: Well, this is the place.
Robert: What do we do, yell for Rapunzel to let down her hair...? ^_~
Seighart: Something like that. *yells* TAAAAAAAA-LAAAAAAAA!!! THROW DOWN THE LADDER; WE'VE GOT FOOD FOR YAAAAAAAAA!!!
*no response*
Seighart: TAAAAAAAAAAA-LAAAAAAAAAAAA?! *shrugs* He's not answering...
Mel: Here, let me try. *yells* LOOOOOOOOOO-KIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!! GET THE LADDER DOWN HERE OR I'LL TELL YOUR MOM WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!
*no response*
Mel: OK, I'm freakin'...
Maelgwyn: SEEEEEEEEEEEEE-DOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUBLE-YOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I'VE GOT CHOOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOLAAAAAAAAATE!!!
*still no response*
Everybody: *looks at each other*
Leena: Umm...How long have they been up there...?
Maelgwyn: Overnight. They had a huge basket of food and a jug of water with them.
Bit: All that for three of them...?
Maelgwyn: No, they each had one basket of food and one water jug.
Ice: And the place seems OK...No signs of escape.
Everybody: *looks at each other again*
Robert: This is getting scary...
Seighart: Let's go check to see if they're alright.
Mel: Right. Seig, see those vines? *points*
Seighart: Yep. What about them?
Mel: Summon a breeze to blow them down so we can climb up.
Seighart: No problem, Mel! *clenches her fists and waves them*
*a strong breeze starts blowing and knocks the vines to the ground*
Everybody: Woooooooowwww... O.O
Bit: *tries to wiggle up a vine* C'mon, let's go see if they're OK!
*on top of the tree*
Ice: *walking along a rope bridge* This reminds me of that tree house in Disney's Tarzan...
Seighart: Rustic...and creepy...
Maelgwyn: And waaaaaaay above the ground...
Robert: We're not gonna fall, are we...?
Mel: This bridge is reinforced by magic.
EE: Phew...
Mel: I'm not sure if that magic's still working, though...
EE: *looks at each other uncertainly*
Bit: Do you think Loki and the others fell...?
Mel: Loki can fly.
Ice: No prob with Kali, I think Loki likes her...*evil grin*
Maelgwyn: CW can take good care of himself, thank you very much.
Seighart: So can Tala.
Robert: Considering the fact that he's still alive after being around you for so long, I wouldn't argue with that...
*they stop in front of the tree house*
Leena: It's quiet...
Bit: Too quiet...
*everybody gives each other that uncertain look again*
Ice: *grumbles reluctantly* Much as I hate to admit it, I wouldn't like it very much if Kali went missing without my permission... .
Seighart: Tala's one of my closest friends....
Mel: Loki isn't all that bad, no matter how annoying he is...u_u
*everybody looks at Maelgwyn*
Maelgwyn: No comment. ._.
Robert: Let's go in, then! *pushes the door open*
*everybody steps inside*
Ice: It's too dark...
Leena: *irritated* Are you standing on my foot, Bit?! Who's standing on my foot?! TvvvT;;
Mel: Light switch...Got it!
*a soft click, but nothing comes on*
Mel: Crike, here we go...
*light flares up*
Mel: *'holding' a floating orb of aqua-colored fire* Sorry if I spooked you...
Leena: Who's been standing on my foot...?! TvvvT;;
*everybody else, who is more than a foot away looks at Leena in bewilderment*
Maelgwyn: Nobody's standing on your foot, Leena. Nobody has been near you...
Leena: *scared* Th-th-then...wh-who...*looks down*
Everybody: *looks at the thing on Leena's foot* O.O O...M...G...
Leena: AAAAAIIIIIEEEE---*scream gets cut off*
Seighart: *has clamped her hand over Leena's mouth* Not so loud! They're only bananas!
Everybody: Whew! u.u
Bit: Bananas...? *picks up the bananas and eats one (after peeling it, of course!)* Mmm, still good. ^^x (a/n: the 'x' is supposed to be his mouth chomping on the banana)
Robert: *takes the banana bunch from Bit* I take it these are the bananas you gave to the muses...? ^_~
Ice: Yeah, only there are no muses...
EE: *looks around and notices a few things*
Maelgwyn: The muses are gone!
Seighart: And this place is a mess!
Leena: Just look at what they did to these blankets! *picks up a bed sheet* It's torn, and ripped apart, and bloodstained...
EE: *staring blankly at the blanket (a/n: no pun intended)*
Leena: What...?
EE: *points all zombie-like at the blanket*
Leena: *sees the bloodstains* Eeeeek... o.o *turns pale, backs away shakily, and drops the sheet*
Robert: H-how m-m-m-m-many n-n-nights we-were they h-h-here...?
Ice: O-o-one...
Mel: Th-the-the p-p-pla-place...i-is t-t-tor-torn a-apart...
Seighart: L-l-like a-a wi-wil-wild a-a-animal d-d-d-did it!
Leena: Like in Disney's Tarzan!!!
*everybody stares at her*
Leena: Well, it's true, isn't it?
Bit: Wh-wha-what c-c-c-c-could h-h-have d-don-done th-this...?
Mel: W-w-well...*gulps very hard and tries to steady her voice* Er...err...*gulps again* There are a few animals on this island that could have ransacked this place...
Robert: L-like wh-what...?
Mel: The aireons, Gila raptors, feral gazelle hounds, vulcanids, rocs, manticores, feral smirgs, geckogriffs, griffins, scrub foxes, bushcats, and...*shakes head* I think that's all...
Leena: *sarcastic* No kidding...
*everybody is silent, then...*
Ice: We gotta tell the others!
Mel: Oh, man...Silvana isn't gonna like this...
TBC...

A/n: Cliffie, sorry. Oh, here're the definitions to those things that could have attacked the muses: (a/n: BTW, these defs reflect the way I draw or imagine them. None of these creatures exist in real life; most of them belong to me except for the aireons, smirgs, rocs, manticores, & griffins, because these things are already well-known.)
Aireons-winged lions
Gila raptors-dinosaur-like creatures, usually drab gray in color, that run on four legs
Gazelle hounds-wolf-like animals with antelope horns, eagle wings, and stingray tails that can be used as a mode of transport
Vulcanids-6-legged scale-covered dogs with horns, bat wings, & stingray tails, similar to gazelle hounds, but smaller and more aggressive
Rocs-giant eagles
Manticores-lions or pumas with scorpion tails
Smirgs-winged dogs
Geckogriffs-3-foot high flying dragons (the lizard from Indonesia, not true dragons!) that are also capable of magic if trained
Griffins-creatures with the foreparts & wings of an eagle & the hindquarters of a lion
Scrub foxes-very large foxes with sharp fangs, inch-long claws, and coarse fur
Bushcats-agile wildcats that hunt in packs (like lions), have thick fur and inch-long retractable claws
Replies:
TMT & Kai: *shrug* You never said you wanted to appear, Kai! Blame yourself! *sticks tongue out at Kai* Yeah, TMT, it wasn't scary. I intended it that way because it's supposed to be a humor fic.
IceDragon'08, Kali, & Chaos: Nice Chaos...*pats Chaos on the head* Rigel is a horrible person er..."thing" indeed. And Metro Manila is the Philippine capital city. It's huge, and crowded. Lol, Thomas won't appear for a while. *evil grin*

Xgirl141: I review your fic! ^_^ Some random ideas thrown in, but it all flows along a single plot line. I so so SO hate writer's block...
Black Fireball: Your idea will come much much later, but it'll appear, promise. And 'crikey'...Lol, took me a while to realize who you were talking about, since I've never seen Croc Dundee.
Seighart: Love your new fic! It was so sweet when Prozac err...Prozen realized he cared for his daughter...um, you actually. I'll consider your idea. It might appear later.
Lamoo: TF&TEND is one of those fics I truly enjoy. Really! *crosses heart* Thomas is a very cute guy who loves computers. Believe me! Way cute, for a geek! ^_-
GeminiBlack57 & Jo: Bad Joey! Scaring your mistress! Wow, I didn't think I made it that scary. Oh, well, sometimes I do go overboard...
There's a big empty space because I saved this in HTML form. Don't mind it. *pokes empty space* Ooh...Empty spaces... O.O
