HES: Welcome back readers! Yes, I realize it has been a long time coming but here is the next chapter of our tale! My computer has not been my best friend lately but I shall keep working! Now enough of my pointless ranting it is story time!
Disguised as YuroNavis, Shiningman, Metalman and Beastman all marched through the castle trying to figure out where Roll was. They followed the other navis so that they wouldn't look out of place despite their odd sizes and gaits. After rounding a corner, they heard screams coming from behind a heavily barred door and broke off from the rest of the group to investigate.
"Roll? Is that you?" Whispered Metalman carefully.
"Yes," came a cry from the other side. "I'm trapped and there is a Time Bomb here and it's going to detonate soon!"
"Stand back," Metalman told the others as he drew out a Widesword chip and slashed through the door; the trio then rushed in and deactivated their disguises.
"I will stop the bomb!" Shiningman laughed as he rushed for it and grabbed it. "Now…how to shut it down?" As the ticking got louder Beastman uttered two words:
"Sorry Shiningman!" The navi was pushed out of a convenient window and below and gigantic explosion was heard. Roll rushed over to Metalman and Beastman and embraced them, but the happy reunion was not to last as Rush raced in followed by the evil witch Coloredman.
"UGH! My bomb was defeated!" Coloredman cursed. "Damn you idiots you are so stupid!"
"That sentence is a bit redundant," Metalman pointed out.
"Shut up loser!" Coloredman spat back. "Now to kill you all! Guards get them!" YuroNavis appeared behind the witch and began to charge at the three navis and virus dog. They all screamed and ran as fast as they could, which was lucky since YuroNavis aren't very fast. Sadly, the quartet did not know the castle's layout and happened to run down a dead end. YuroNavis swarmed around them as Coloredman advanced…it looked like the end…
Now let's check on Lan and Chaud.
The pink flame erupted down the street like a missile, seeking its intended target. The two young boys, one clad in blue and the other in red, embraced briefly, screamed, and ran full pelt in the opposite directions. More profanities filled the air and the street was torn up by the enraged Mayl, who now was so blinded by blood-rage she probably didn't even realize that was her name anymore.
The boys continued to scream and onlookers on the street shook their heads. Lan and Chaud were both wondering why no one had called the cops, but since Officer John was the best cop in the city, it probably wouldn't have made a difference anyway. Slowly, their legs began to give way and they began to slow down. Fear gripped them, but then they realized again, something wouldn't matter, for they were now trapped in an alley.
"Oh Buddha in heaven…" Lan prayed.
"I didn't know you were Buddhist," Chaud said to him.
"I'm not, but I can't think of anyone else to pray to!" Lan stuttered as he continued his prayer. Chaud sighed, Lan was getting stupider, which wasn't a good thing considering it made Chaud seem stupider since Lan had saved him several times.
Mayl slowly approached the pair like a lion stalking its prey, mallet in hand. "Now, time to pay!" She raised her weapon and the boys screamed.
And it's a time like this we go back to Roll and company.
Roll shivered as the YurNavis advanced upon her and her companions. Beastman shivered behind Metalman who stepped forward to defend his allies.
"Ha! You are finished! Give me that data and maybe I will spare you!" The vile witch Coloredman cackled.
"Don't do it Roll," Beastman whispered. "Either way she will delete us all."
"Not if I can help it," the pink navi muttered. "But I have no battlechips and my basic attacks will be useless."
The witch began to advance, but then Roll noticed a convenient chip lying by her left foot.
"Slot in whatever chip this is!" She cried. With that, a jet of water erupted from her palm and knocked Coloredman into a wall.
"So I'm a bit wet, but a single Wideshot won't save you!" The villainous program cackled. It rose, but slowly began to glow and break apart. "What's this? No I'm melting! What a world! Why did you have to destroy beautiful me? NOOOO!"
"You…deleted it…" One of the YuroNavis said turning toward Roll. He suddenly bowed along with all the others. "You have defeated our leader, now we shall follow you Roll. What is your bidding?"
"I need its broom data please," Roll said. A small Flappy flew in clutching a strange glowing piece of information resembling a broom and placed it in Roll's hands. "Thanks, I guess it's back to the Emerald Site!"
In the Real World…
Mayl's mallet sped toward Lan with super sonic speed when suddenly a random statue of Buddha appeared from nowhere and clunked her on the head, temporarily dazing her.
"Buddha you saved us!" Lan and Chaud cried happily, hugging on another. Their happiness was short lived, however, as rubbing her head Mayl rose up, smashed the statue with her mallet and turned towards them.
"Let's try this again…"
The cyber world beckons!
Meanwhile, Roll and company had arrived at the Emerald site. Approaching the vast gate with her entourage, Roll felt confident she would soon be back with her operator. The group strolled through the city happily and were shown no resistance as they headed to see the wizard.
They again entered the great room and Roll placed the Broom Data on the floor. "As your requested your excellency," she curtsied, "now please can you grant our requests?" The great head turned to them.
"Yes, I am a Navi of my word." Suddenly, the head vanished and from behind it arose a blue Navi. He had not hands and his body made it look like he wore a jeweled robe. "I am Magicman, the Navi of Oz. I will now grant you your requests."
"A brain sir!" Shiningman smiled appearing again from out of nowhere. The wizard approached and placed data on his head. "I feel smarter already!" The chipper Navi giggled.
"I'd like emotion if you please," Metalman addressed him. The wizard placed a red heart shaped program block into Metalman's chest.
"And…I…would…l..like some courage…" Beastman stuttered. Magicman raised a special program block that glittered gold and placed it into Beastman's hands.
"Now you shall be full of courage," The wizard told him.
"It says 'For showing heroism in defeating the wicked Coloredman!' I'm a hero!" Beastman said with glee.
"And now for you miss Roll, and Rush, I shall transport you back to Mayl. Follow me." Magicman told her. The group followed him to a strange vehicle that resembled a surfboard. "This is the NetSlider. It can take us both back to your land…I was from there as well, but one day the NetSlider took a wrong turn and I ended up here. I have spent the last several years repairing it, now get on." Mayl smiled and embraced her Navi companions.
"Shiningman…Beastman…Metalman…I'll miss you all," she said nostalgically as she headed toward the NetSlider where Magicman waited. However, something went horribly wrong. The NetSlider began to speed away with Magicman on it. "Come back make it stop!" Roll cried to him.
"I can't!" He called back. "Sorry!"
Roll began to cry, she feared she would never return home. The Navis surrounded her and hugged her, but she continued to sob.
"Oh Roll, get up," a beautiful voice called to her. Serenade floated down from above them and stood next to Roll. "There is another way for you to get home. Just click your Ruby Slipper data together and think 'There's no place like home' and you shall be transported there."
Roll rose. "Thank you all for all your help. Now…there's no place like home…"
Mayl's PET flashed as she readied her mallet for the killing blow. Lan and Chaud screamed and cried like a child that has fallen down a flight of stairs. Mayl halted and turned to look. "Roll!"
"We're saved!" Lan and Chaud cried in unison and danced a merry jig around and around the entire city of ACDC.
"Hey Roll where were you?" Mayl asked perplexed.
"It's a long story…"
