Author's Note: I've been getting like no reviews for any of my fics lately (except you, Purpurla Lipstick. I'm sorry if I screwed up the spelling in your name)! What's up with that? Oh well, I will still continue to post!! If you think that ignoring me will stop me then you are SERIOUSLY MISTAKEN!!!!!

Disclaimer: I don't own LoD. Umm, I think that's it.

Chapter 33: What's Crackin, Kraken?

(An interesting sight indeed...)

Wesley: It's like the ocean is being held up! Like, like....

Me: Magic? It's called the Magical City Aglis for a reason. Of course, this used to hover above the ocean...

Nikole: So that means.....we're under the sea?

Me: ::evil grin:: I feel a song coming on.....

All: Please God no....

Me and Nikole: ::dancing, singing in Jamaican accents:: UNDA DA SEA!! UNDA DA SEA!! DARLIN IT'S BETTA DOWN WHERE IT'S WETTA TAKE IT FROM ME!!

Lorena: F-cking idiots....

Leroy: Um...ocean closed.

Wesley: What?

Leroy: Path back to Rouge no longer dry. It's wet....wet, hehehehe

Lorena: Sick bastard

Me: Hmmm, someone doesn't want us to leave.

Nikole: That means MORE SINGING!! OUT ON DA SHORE DE WORK ALL DAY, OUT IN DE SUN DE SLAVE AWAY --

Me: WHILE WE DEVOTIN FULL TIME TO FLOATIN UNDA DA SEA!!

All: ::rubs temples::



(We wandered around the magical city for a bit, using those stupid green teleporting devices. It was pretty uneventful, for being unda da sea, until we came across a jelly-fish like creature)

Ruff: Ruff. I bring a message, ruff.

Me: Oh god, it's a friggin Pokemon

Ruff: Ruff, what is a Pokemon, ruff?

Nikole: Aww, look, a baby!! It's cuuuuuuuuuuuute!!

Lorena: Whatever

Ruff: Ruff, if I am cute than none of you are cute, ruff!! Except Tina, ruff.

Nikole and Lorena: How rude!

Me: Why make an exception with me? C'mon, Poke-ruff, give us the message

Ruff: Ruff, I'm not a Poke-whatever, ruff

[I'm searching far into reaches of my memory....it's fuzzy.....the message....maybe, it's.....]

Ruff: Okay, ruff. "Tina has given me courage over these past millenia" ruff "now it is time for Tina and companions to pour their courage into the new Moot and save the world." End, ruff

Boberto: Oh yeah, that made perfect sense.

Wesley: Nothing makes sense anymore

Me: Nothing EVER made sense to you

Wesley: Wow, haven't heard THAT one before

Ruff: Are you done, ruff?

Leroy: They are never done

Ruff: Well, ruff, I'm going now, ruff ::leaves::

Timoty: I guess I should have anticipated that -- I mean, we've already lost our minds, why shouldn't we encounter a Pokemon?

Me: Did anyone else just catch that I have a stalker?

(Indeed, I have a stalker who's been watching me for thousands of years. Before I could meet my stalker, we found more Pokemon)

Decal: Decal, we're not Pokemon, cal!

(Yes, you are. We follow the Pokemon through a room with a big mirror....)

Wesley: You're saying that this can see anything happening in the world at any given time?

Decal: Yes, cal

Boberto: Then why the hell are we just staring at ourselves?! Change the station!!

Timoty: Yes, somewhere in the world, there is a woman getting out of the shower....

Leroy: ::drools::

Girls: ::slaps them all:: Sick BASTARDS!!

Wesley: ....

(And then, to a room with a save point and seven colored circles on the other side of an invisible bridge)

All: Oh, like we haven't seen one of THESE before.

???: Welcome, heroes who defy fate.

(Says an uber-tall Wingly who descends upon us, riding what looks like a huge flying coin)

Nikole: That's a pretty cool title, dontcha think?

Me: Better than those epithets that you came up with in Fletz

Boberto: Hey, I thought they were cool!

???: Aren't you gunna ask me who I am?

Me: I know perfectly well who you are, Diego

Diego: Oh....that's right, you do know me

Wesley: Another ex-boyfriend?

Me: Technically, no....but it does make sense that you would be living here with these Pokemon. You always did have a thing for young children

[He dated a freshman in his senior year of high school. We never let him live it down.]

Diego: So it was YOU who called the cops on me!!

Me: ::evil chuckle::

Nikole: Hey, if you're a Wingly, then why are you flying around on a big...flat...thingy....

Timoty: Is that the technical term for it?

Diego: Yes

Timoty: Oh.

Diego: I just think it looks cooler flying around like this.

Little Pokemon whose name I forgot: Plus it gives me a place to sit!! ::studies her name:: What the hell?!

[You're a Pokemon. And I forgot your name. Deal with it]

Pokemon: Bitch...

Nikole: Well, I think you look ridiculous but whatever....

Me: Wait, Diego, are you my thousand-year-old stalker?

Diego: Actually, I've been stalking you for seven thousand years....and I wasn't stalking you!

All: ::rolls eyes:: Nice comeback

Me: Why?

Diego: Well, after the Dragon Campaign ended, I decided to stay here and research magic and try and return magic to the world. After thousands of years of failure, I almost gave up and was suicidal.

All: ::awkward silence::

Diego: But then, seven thousand years ago, I found Tina in the mirror! Actually, it was more like thirty three chapters ago, when I first got sucked into this game, but some big guy with red armor just told me seven thousand years.

All: ....

Diego: Anyway, seven thousand years ago, I found Tina in the mirror! You were the Black Monster and I followed your movements, and I found out the truth about the Black Monster and the Moon Child. I saw you suffer so much, so I devoted my research to creating a very powerful Signet Sphere that will permanently keep the Moon That Never Sets in the sky. You saved me, Tina, from ending my pathetic video game existence....

Me: Aww, I never knew I could be so inspirational

Nikole: That's ::sniff:: so sweet.....why isn't he one of your ex- boyfriends?

Me: Because he thinks too much

Diego: ::nods::

Wesley: What about me?!

Me: You don't think enough

Lorena: F-cking dumbasses....weren't you saying something about a powerful Signet Sphere?

Diego: Yes. The Psyche Bomb and Moot.

All: Moot?

Diego: I didn't make up the name. Blame the Pokemon:

Pokemon: DAMMIT, WE'RE NOT POKEMON!!

Diego: It's not quite complete. I need the courage of you seven in order to complete the Psyche Bomb and Moot. If you would step across onto the circle of your element...::bridge appears::

Nikole: MOOT!!

(So we all hop onto a colored circle that represented our element -- Leroy to the brown circle, Lorena to the white circle [as she cursed Nikole's random interjection], Timoty to the purple circle)

Timoty: Dammit, I'm NOT gay!!

(Nikole to the blue circle, Boberto to the green circle, and me to the black circle)

Diego: Wait, Wesley, stick around with me

Wesley: ::uncomfortably scratches his head:: Okay, but um...you should know, I got a girlfriend back home....

Diego: ::places his hand on Wesley's shoulder:: Well, that's just too bad, isn't it? ::laughs, takes his hand away:: I'm just messing with you! Seriously, I'm straight. Really.

Wesley: .... {And I thought that Hero Competition attendant was weird}

Diego: Whatever, let's just do the first test.



LEROY'S TEST

Leroy: Ooooooh....pretty colors.....

Me: ::randomly appears:: Yo Leroy. Guess it's just us.

Leroy: Uh....yeah

Me: While we wait ::draws sword:: let's fight

Leroy: Umm, not what me thinking...

Me: C'mon, you scared cuz I kicked your ass twice?

Leroy: You don't sound like Tina...

Me: ::lunges at Leroy:: Then you can die ::disappears::

Leroy: That....weird....

Joel: ::randomly appears:: So, you shackled up with the enemies

Leroy: !? You dead!!

Joel: Obviously, I'm an apparation and a part of your test.

Leroy: Oh.

Joel: So, you gunna let me attack you?

Leroy: Umm....I guess

Joel: ::attacks Leroy, then disappears::

Leroy: ..... that all, right??



[Insert reflective speech about courage here]

Diego: Why don't you just let me give the reflective speech about courage?

[Because I don't wanna]

Diego: Then why am I just standing here against a black backdrop?!

[Because I feel like it]

Diego: ::smacks forehead:: Can we just go on to the next test?

[If you insist]



LORENA'S TEST

Lorena: Why the f-ck am I here? [The rest of this sentence cannot be printed due to excessive amounts of cursing] F-ck!!

Pokemon: ::again, examines her name:: Just MAKE UP A NAME for Soa's sake!

[It's funnier to call you "Pokemon"]

Pokemon: ::growls:: Oh well....umm, Lorena, why do you curse so much?

Lorena: Because I f-cking want to.

Pokemon: Okay. Oh, wait, that wasn't the right answer. That wasn't even the right question. You failed. You die.

Lorena: WTF?! Die?!

Pokemon: Yup

::Screen goes black::

Lorena: Wait, I can't die!! I gotta help defeat Mateo!! I gotta finish the game!! I gotta go home!! F-CK!!

::Back to normal::

Pokemon: Hehe, just kidding!! You're not dead.

Lorena: ::assaults the Pokemon with her arrows::



[Insert another reflective speech about courage here]

Diego: Are you gunna do that after EVERY test?

[Maybe....mwhahahaha....]



TIMOTY'S TEST

Timoty: So damn boring....oooh, pretty colors....

::ANOTHER FLASHBACK TO ROUGE!::

All: WHAT THE HELL?!

(It's the same damn flashback as the one from the Queen Fury, except now it has no sound)

::END FLASHBACK::

Timoty: Well, that was a waste of my time.

Pokemon: Could you have stopped her?

Timoty: No. It's a video game that has been designed previously by strange men in a dark room. I have no control whatsoever over the actions of the characters in this game

Pokemon: .... Lemme consult with the judges

Judges: ::consults::

Pokemon: Yeah, they'll give it to you

Timoty: ::shrugs::



Diego: ::stands there, whistling an unfamiliar tune:: What? Oh, he's done? Aren't you gunna do your little bracket thing? Are you gunna answer me?! Ah, screw it.



NIKOLE'S TEST

Nikole: ::skipping around the room:: Pretty colors, pretty colors, la la la la....

Bardel: Damn you and your skipping! ::shoots fireball::

Nikole: What the hell?!

Roddy: ::appears and shields Nikole:: Don't touch her!

Nikole: Roddy!! You DO love me!!

Roddy: Yeah, we already established that....

Bardel: Damn you and your saving! ::shoots another fireball:: She's gotta make amends for my sister's death!

Nikole: But, I can't! At least, not right now -- I gotta save the rest of the world!

Bardel and Roddy: ::randomly disappear::

Nikole: Oh, phooey!!



[....]

Diego: I'm not even gunna say anything

[But you just said something right now]

Diego: You know what I mean!!



BOBERTO'S TEST

Minister Vicente: ::grows out of the ground:: Whoa, that was interesting....

Boberto: ::turns around:: Minister Vicente! Hey, I haven't seen you since the fourth chapter, bro!

Minister Vicente: Well, technically, you haven't seen me since the fifteenth chapter when I was in Fletz...

Boberto: Oh....I guess you're right

Minister Vicente: But that's not why I'm here -- there's some Eastern tribe trying to take over Bale!

Boberto: Really? Since when?

Minister Vicente: I dunno, since you left....but you gotta come back

Boberto: Um, how bout no

Minister Vicente: No?!

Boberto: No -- if I wanna go home, then I gotta continue on this journey. Go take care of the Eastern tribe yourself.

Minister Vicente: O...kay...::turns into the Pokemon::

Pokemon: Don't worry, there is no such thing as an Eastern tribe!

Boberto: I wasn't worried.



Diego: :: examines his cards:: Do you have any threes?

Pokemon: Go fish

Diego: ::draws a card::

[::ahem::]

Pokemon: ::ignore:: Do you have any fives?

Diego: Damn ::gives her a card::



MY TEST

Diego: :: randomly appears:: You've been through so much, with the Dragon Campaign and the Black Monster, and now reuniting with the Dragoons to fight the one you used to love. Your courage, I think, is inmeasureable....

Me: ::turns around:: So do you just wanna make out and get it over with?

Diego: ::blushes:: What?!

Me: Just because my back was turned to you doesn't mean that I couldn't hear everything you just said.

Diego: Oh.....

Me: And don't get too excited. I wasn't serious.

Diego: ::looking very disappointed:: Oh.

Me: So when's my test?



[Well?]

Diego: Just shut up.



WESLEY'S TEST

Wesley: Wow, pretty colors....

[Yes, we have come to a consensus that the room has pretty colors]

Wesley: Well, you know me, always stating the obvious.....

Ania: ::appears, floating above Wesley::

Wesley: Whoa, what is she doing here?!

Ania: I'm a part of your test, DUH

Wesley: Oh.

Ania: Well, what are you just standing there for? Attack me!

Wesley: What?!

Pokemon: Yes, you might have to face your video-game-girlfriend in battle. What are you gunna do?

Wesley: Umm, not attack her and attack the little bitch Mateo instead?

Ania: Good answer!

Pokemon: Sure, we'll give it to ya



Diego: You all passed your tests! Come with me now...

(So you follow him to another room where a buncha "pretty colors" fly around the room. After that, you acquire the Psyche Bomb X. Onto Moot!)

Me: So what's keeping the original Signet Sphere and "Moot" protected?

Diego: We have the Last Kraken ::points to a huge monster that looks like a jellyfish and an octupus had an ugly baby::

Nikole: What's crackin, Kraken? hehe!

Wesley: Why does everything look like mutated sea creatures down here?

All: ....

Lorena: Maybe because we're UNDER THE F-CKING SEA?!

Diego: You went out with this guy, but not me?!

Me: I...don't wanna talk about it.

Mateo: [voice only] Hellooooo out there

Me: Mateo, is that you?!

Mateo: Yes, it is me! Wesley, I am your faaaaaaaaaatheeeeeeer.....

Wesley: I KNOW!!

Nikole: ::frantically looks around:: Where is he?!

Mateo: I'm controlling the Last Kraken. See?

Kraken: ::waves his tentacles::

Me: You have magical powers now?!

Mateo: Yeah, isn't it great? Now I don't need the Moon Mirror to destroy the Signet Sphere! Go, Last Kraken!

Kraken: ::turns to the Signet Sphere::

All: No!

::Screen dissolves, battle begins::

(So, you battle the Last Kraken. His attacks aren't that powerful, but he always seems to have a lot of health so after about five minutes of battling him, you just wanna scream out JUST DIE ALREADY!! Don't worry, he eventually does)

All: ::cheers::

(But, your fight with the Last Kraken creates a powerful blast that destroys the Signet Sphere anyway)

All: Damn

Diego: You guys have to leave! Go for the teleporting device, it will take you to Zenebatos, were the next Signet Sphere is! ::pushes us out the door::

Wesley: What about you?!

Diego: I've already lived my life, here in this video game. You seven need to live and stop Mateo. Go, heroes who defy fate ::shuts the door::

Wesley: Wait! ::bangs on the door::

Me: It's okay. It's how he wanted to go.

Nikole: Well, that sucks! Now I'm all depressed

Lorena: Maybe now you'll shut up

(With Diego's sacrifice, we make our way to the big teleporter. On the way, we once again see the big mirror and we see Mateo smashing the Moon Mirror)

Wesley: Why did he do that?

Me: He doesn't need it anymore. The first Signet Sphere is already destroyed.

Mateo: ::nyeah nyeah::

(And once again, we see the Pokemon. Only, because Diego's dead, they all die too)

Pokemon: NOOOOOOOO WE'RE MEEEEEEEELTIIIIIIIIIING!! ::dies::

All: Idiots

(Finally, to the teleporter! To Zenebatos!)

All: Should we peasants rejoice?

(If you want to)

All: Yay.

Second Author's Note: The Pokemon's name was Buckle!!

Buckle: Oh, sure, NOW ya tell 'em, uck.
