Further Complications
Beastfire: Chapter 9 is here!
Frus walked through the Citadel, knowing that he had his work cut out for him. He found one room and walked in, and it turned out to be the one in which Skeleton King keeps Chiro's old childhood things.
"Well," he said to himself. "This is kinda disturbing."
He quickly left the room and looked elsewhere.
Ivy woke up, feeling even worse than before. She painfully brought herself off the ground, hovering, and looked at the corpse that was once a dragon. 'Now to find Frus and get the heck outta here,' she thought. This was much easier said than done, as she saw the maze that was currently their prison before her. She swore once again to herself.
The Hyperforce sent the Lasertron Fury on Skeleton King and his dragon-esqe creature (who, for the sake of my horrid descriptive skills, will be called Desmayle). They dodged and Skeleton King launched an attack of his own at the Torso Tank. Luckily for Chiro, they evaded the attack without any damage to his part. However, the same could not be said for Fist Rocket 4. Gibson's part was torn off from the rest of the Super Robot, and sent to the ground.
"GIBSON!" shouted Chiro.
Gibson was able to work the Fist Rocket and shot some missiles at Skeleton King and Desmayle. They avoided being hit and descended upon the blue monkey and his ship. One quick swipe in just the right place destroyed a good portion of the circuitry in the ship. Gibson was lucky to get out before getting electrocuted. Antauri came over to him in his ship and Gibson got in quickly. They swerved out of the way of an oncoming attack, and managed to be reassembled to the Super Robot.
Frus had found another room, but this one was pitch black. He heard someone…or something…approaching. Thinking it to be either another Formless, or worse, Skeleton King, he sent a really large heavy steel bar at the one approaching. The sound of someone getting hit right across the windpipe was heard as the bar made contact, and Frus left, going to the right.
A few seconds later, Ivy came out of a dark room, with some difficulty breathing. She had no idea what hit her, but she knew it was made of metal. She went to the left. That was when she found the throne room, and looked around for Frus. He was nowhere to be found. 'Okay. So he's not in here…HOLY CRAP! He's probably dead by now! I'M GONNA KILL SKELETON KING! No…I can't jump to conclusions…but IT'S PROBABLY TRUE! Oh, yeah…VENGEANCE IS GONNA BE MINE!'
Nova glared at Skeleton King and Desmayle on the view screen in her Foot Cruiser. She launched a missile at them, only to have them come down and attempt to penetrate the metal casing of the Foot Cruiser. Nova's protection. She launched yet another missile at Desmayle and hit him in the gut. He stumbled backwards and died slowly. Skeleton King had to use his newly created remote control module to get the Citadel of Bone to him to be able to leave and rethink his strategy. He was so close to taking over, that he could nearly taste it.
In the Citadel, in opposite parts, Ivy and Frus were knocked to the ground by the force of the asteroid going to pick Skeleton King up.
"WHAT THE?" both yelled, neither one hearing the other.
Frus managed to stumble into the room in which he and Ivy were earlier. His momentum was stopped by a collision with something large, scaly, dark orange…and dead. 'Wow. She killed him? But…the only way to kill him would have to be from the inside, so…oh, no…I'm gonna kill Skeleton King for this!' thought Frus.
Ivy, as the Citadel was moving to retrieve its owner, hovered into a room of unknown purpose. It was also dark in there. She brought up a fireball to provide some light and her eyes lit up. There, before her, was Skeleton King's equivalent to a wine cellar, filled with alcohol as far as the eye could see. She got an evil glint in her eyes and rubbed her hands/paws together before diving in. The only thing better than this would be…weapons, which were in another corner. Ivy grabbed about three bazookas, fifty grenades, an AK-47, and a few bottles of vodka. Of course, before leaving, she just HAD to have a little bit of the keg of rum in there…which, for her, was the whole thing. She drunkenly flew out of the room with her new supply, or at least tried to, as it was really heavy. She cut it down to one bazooka, five grenades, the AK-47, and all of the vodka she had before. This was much more manageable, and she was on her way to kill Skeleton King.
Skeleton King quickly boarded his asteroid and was off. He began to walk through the Citadel and instantly met up with someone small and furry.
"We meet again, I see."
Beastfire: Another short chapter, I realize, but that's it for Chapter 9! AND IT'S ANOTHER CLIFFY! YAY!
Frus: NOT YAY! Who'd he meet up with? Me or Ivy?
Ivy: I have this bad feeling it'll be me.
Beastfire: Maybe, maybe not. Who do the reviewers think it is? Tell us and you'll receive…not a piece of lint, 'cause I've done that already…not a beer because there's very few of us in this category that are old enough. Crap, Ivy's only 17!
Ivy: Thanks a lot! Now I can't get into the really good bars!
Beastfire: Next time, the Monkey Team makes contact with Ivy, and maybe she and Frus become reunited. Of course, this all depends on how generous I'm feeling toward them…if I feel mean, I'll make them wait another chapter! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Frus: Please review. (to Beastfire) And you, reunite us soon, or I'll show you firsthand how it feels to have lungs full of mercury.
Ivy: Only after I fill them with water.
Frus: How about I fill one with mercury and you fill the other with water?
Ivy: Sounds like a plan to me!
