Lash-Last time we left out, our heroes were on their way to Nuodo town...
So.... Waseca...hmmm...What is Waseca? I owned nothing but Lash. The GS
characters belong to Camelot, the theme belongs to Pokemon and the
characters belong to Hiana and Mel
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Lash, Art and Mel trudged through the tall grass that covered the route to
Nuodo town. The sun was now ahead of them and setting. Mel's Bishiegear
showed that it was nearly 8:00. It was an unseasonably hot spring day. "Are
we there yet?" Mel piped up every few minutes, and then Art or Lash would
shout "NO!" Finally Art stopped and sat down on a rock. "Can we take a
break now? I'm tired." she said, burying her head in her arms. Mel and Lash
stopped. "We need to get going Artemis..." she said softly "Otherwise we
won't be able to get to the center"

Lash frowned slightly as he checked his BishieNav. "Art is right, Mel. We
should stop here. Let's set up camp." He said. Art clapped her hands
together excitedly "YAY! It'll be just like a camping trip!" Mel stood up.
"Let's go find a campsite! GO!! IVAN!!!" she said, tossing her Bishieball.
Ivan popped out and yawned. "What do you want?" he asked sleepily. "Ivan!
Use Reveal to find a clear campsite!" Mel said, pointing to the woods. Lash
and Art both sweat-dropped as Ivan just stood there. Mel waited. "Why isn't
he listening to me?" she sobbed.

Art shook her head. "Mel, Ivan doesn't know how to use reveal yet..." she
said "We'll have to look ourselves..." With that she turned and walked into
the woods, followed by Lash. Mel quickly called back Ivan and skipped after
them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Here's a good spot..." Lash said as they stepped into a small clearing. He
let his pack fall onto the ground and began walking around. They set to the
task of lighting a fire. Art began rubbing two sticks together, but ended
up with a pile of splinters. "That's not how you do it silly!" Mel said.
She kneeled before the circle of rocks and took a deep breath.... "FLAME!"
she shouted. Nothing happened. "Hmm... Well I'm out of ideas..." she said. Lash
poked the pile of splinters. "We need more firewood. Let's go find some" he
said standing up and brushing the dirt off his pants. "Mel you stay here
and keep watch" Art said. "Lash you and I'll go this way!" she said
pointing to the woods. The trio nodded and separated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lash and Art walked along, gathering a few twigs into their arms. Soon they
got tired of stooping down and just picked the twigs off some trees. Art
snapped some branches off the trees and Lash did the same. He tugged at a
certain branch. It wouldn't budge. He blinked and began tugging harder. It
bended and Lash leaned forward to see that there were hinges on it. Lash
and Art turned around quickly as they heard a deep rumbling. As they let
out a yell, the earth opened beneath him. They fell down as the hole grew
wider. After they were gone, the earth closed up again leaving nothing but
the pile of branches they had gathered...

~~~~~~~~~~~

Mel's ears perked up as she heard the yell. "ARTEMIS? LASHERS?" she shouted
into the night. No answer... She grabbed her pack and set off to search for
them. Mel walked in Art and Lash's general direction, searching for her
companions. "Art?" she shouted, pulling a group of bushes apart "Lash?" She
stepped through. "I don't like this game."

The sun was already gone and the moon was overhead. She was in the same
place where Art and Lash had fallen, but the trapdoor had closed already.
Mel grasped her pack tightly as a soft buzz began filling the air. "Who's
there?" she said in a panicky voice. The buzzing grew louder and it started
to get closer. Suddenly something big and yellow bounced towards her,
flailing wildly. Mel stared at it with wide eyes. It couldn't possibly be
a....The thing bounded towards her and Mel let out a shrill scream...

~~~~~~~~~~

Lash slammed onto the ground, Art a few feet away from him. The two looked
around. They seemed to have landed in some sort of hall. The floor was
smooth and the walls were carved with strange runes. Art got up to examine
them as Lash sat on the floor, rubbing his head. "Lookie Lashers! Someone
painted pictures on the wall." Art said, tracing a picture of a star with
her finger. Lash looked at the wall. "They're hieroglyphics" he said
looking closely. Art shook her head. "No... I think they're paintings..."
Suddenly a loud scream came from overhead. "I think that's Mel!" Lash said,
looking up at the ceiling. "MEL?!" Art shouted, cupping her hands around
her mouth like a loudspeaker.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mel, however, was dealing with other things. The giant yellow thing drew
nearer and nearer. Mel whimpered slightly as it stomped closer. It was the
most hideous thing she ever seen... It was large and feathery, with long
yellow legs and a stubbed beak. Purple rings around its legs.... Purple
rings? Mel eyes grew wide with terror and realization. It was the terrible
bishie that brainwashed young children and the weak-minded. Forced them to
learn their ABC's and 123's. It even got them to read AT GRADE LEVEL!!!! It
was none other than- BIG BIRD!

Mel shook uncontrollably throwing her backpack in front of her. "What do
you want from me?" She shouted. "I learned my ABCs already! And I'm working
on the numbers... What do you want?!" Big bird bounded towards her. Mel
backed away against the trunk of a tree, the same one Lash and Art had
fallen through. Bid Bird spread his wings and charged. Mel yelled and
grabbed the nearest branch. The trapdoor opened. Mel fell through and
landed in front of Art and Lash.

"MEL! You're ok!" Art said, helping her up. Mel jumped up. "We got to get
out of here!" she said. "Why?" Art asked quizzically. "Big Chicken!" Lash
shouted pointing at the hole. Big Bird was peering over the edge, his eyes
red. With a great giant leap, it jumped down. Boss music began playing.
"Mel could you turn that up?" Lash asked. "'k" Mel said, switching the
volume on her Bishiegear up. Big Bird attacked, in a frenzy of feathers and
drool. The three trainers pulled out their Bishieballs and tossed them in
turn.

"Felix! I choose you!" Art shouted, her ball crashing onto the ground. In a
flash of light, Felix popped out of his ball.

"Ivan! Come on out!" Mel said her Bishieball flying through the air. Ivan
made a second appearance, spinning his staff in a twirl.

"Mia, you know what to do!" Lash said, tossing his ball also. Mia came out,
smiling naively.

Big bird did not hesitate. It charge at Ivan, drawn to his youth. "Ivan!
Use Whirlwind!!!" Mel shouted. Ivan raised his staff and a small whirlwind
flew at Big Bird, blowing away some of the feathers. Big Bird used a peck
attack on Ivan sending him into a wall. "Felix! Use your Slash attack!" Art
shouted. Felix slashed Big Bird in the stomach. A deep wound protruded.
"MIA! Use your Ice move!" Lash shouted. The shards formed over Mia's head
and crashed into Big Bird. Big Bird let out a yell before falling to the
ground.

The Bishies and the trainers began dancing about. "We just won our first
battle! We just won our first battle! We just won our first battle, because
we're super strong!" they sang, spinning in a circle, when a dark figure
spoke from the shadows. "You managed to defeat our Top Defense. Have you
considered joining?" It said. Lash, Mel and Art turned around. The person
stepped out. He was wearing a suit with a large M logo. "I am one of the
top Executive of Team Moof-" He got no further as the three burst out
laughing. "YOU DARE LAUGH AT THE MOOF GLORY!" He shouted. He pressed a
button on a wall.

A door appeared and 2 people stepped out. One was a blonde girl with her
pigtails on her head like a teletubie and she had cold blue eyes. She wore
a pink and purple mini-skirt and a tight tank top with the letter M on it.
The other was a boy. He had brown eyes and black hair like Lash, but it was
short and in a crew cut. He wore the same pink and purple suit as the
girl...except there were shorts instead of a skirt. They looked about 19 or
so... "What do you want?" The girl asked, yawning. "Moofia! Moofer!" the
executive shouted "Take care of these whelps!"

Moofer nodded. "Yesh Sir!" he said, saluting. "Do we have to do the motto?"
He asked Moofia as the executive left. Moofia sighed. "Don't we always?"
and she began-

"To protect the world from dehydration!"
"To catch a bus in the next train station!"
"To protect the lies of spite and deceit!"
"To drive a car from the passenger seat!"
"Moofia!"
"Moofer!"
"Team Moof blasts away much to reader's disgust!"
"Surrender now or prepare to rust!"
A bead of sweat ran down Lash, Mel and Art's heads. "What kind of
insignificant, disgusting crap is that?" Mel asked. "I mean seriously! As
if the hairstyles weren't enough..."Art added. "And the outfits are just
atrocious..." Lash said, raising an eyebrow.
"Silence!" Moofia shouted. "Go Saturos! Agatio!" Moofer shouted, tossing 2
Bishieballs. Moofia followed suit. "Go! Mernardi, Karst! I choose you!" The
four bishies appeared. Ivan Mia and Felix stood bravely before them, but
did they stand a chance?
