Chapter 9- Things Get Weirder
Beastfire: Enjoy chapter 9!
Ivy and Aria found themselves being taken to Skeleton King's throne room. After they'd opened that one door, they were attacked by a new breed of Formless. It was rock hard and could shapeshift into any animal. It'd turned into a two-headed snake and bitten both females. The venom wasn't lethal, but caused temporary paralysis of everything. Aria was able to see Ivy, who had fainted when the snake's fangs made contact with her soft flesh.
The creature dumped them before its creator and left. Skeleton King looked down on the two and grinned. Aria managed to get her jaw and vocal chords working.
"What do you want with us?" she demanded.
"Revenge."
"For what?"
"On those filthy primates. When I heard that all of you were still alive, I was at first disappointed, then overjoyed."
"But how did you find out?"
Skeleton King snapped his fingers and in walked a brown monkey that Aria never expected to see again.
"Larry?" she asked. "I thought you were dead!"
"I lied," replied Larry. "I faked my own death to fool the rest of Tserof-7's tropical region. I told the master after his new recruit came in and got her uniform."
The venom was beginning to wear off and Ivy started to wake up.
"KAYLA!" Larry shouted. "COME!"
Frus was in a room alone, trying to figure out how to put on the uniform. Should he try to stretch out the bottom part so as not to arouse suspicion? Or would that make it worse? What if Sakko or SK were to HIT ON HIM?
"Otto's gonna owe me big time," he muttered to himself.
He heard his codename being shouted and ran to the throne room with the uniform on, but with a tight skirt on it, fortunately, it wouldn't reveal his true gender. Upon arrival, he saw Ivy and Aria fighting Larry and SK aiming a blaster at Ivy. He sped over and jumped, pushing her out of the way.
"YOU!" Skeleton King shouted.
"Me what?" asked Frus in the female voice he'd adopted.
Larry picked up something from the ground and showed it. Frus' blonde wig had fallen off as he was protecting Ivy.
"Oh, crap..." he said slowly. "RUN!"
He, Ivy, and Aria sped out of the room, Larry and Sakko (who had just returned from grabbing a snack) in hot pursuit. When they got to a wall, Frus created an unbreakable hollow metal ball and the three of them got in. There, Ivy used a spell to create a fuel system and ignited it. They were off like a shot.
"How are we supposed to navigate?" asked Aria.
"Uh...we're not," Ivy explained sheepishly.
After a while, the three of them crashed into something metallic. Luckily, Ivy and Frus had the foresight to install airbags (how they did so is classified information!).
Inside the Super Robot, the triplets were crying. They missed their parents and Otto wasn't helping matters at all. He was trying to sing them to sleep, but it wasn't working...especially since he tried singing them a Hilary Duff song. All of them hearda crash outside. Soon, Ivy, Frus, and Aria came into the main room. The triplets' tails were wagging excitedly as their mother rushed over to them.
"Mommy, we're hungry," said Tyr.
Ivy smiled, sat by them, and began nursing her boys. When they were done, they fell asleep, sucking their thumbs.
"How'd the mission go?" Otto asked, curious. The group explained everything.
"Now," said Frus, "I'm going to get rid of this thing!"
He tried getting the uniform off, but it wouldn't move. They looked at him, sorta freaked. It was as though it'd fused to his body...
Beastfire: That's it for this chapter! Next time, we see how they try to get the suit off, and Ivy gets even more suspicious. Will they be able to defeat Skeleton King, Sakko, and Larry? Find out later! In the meantime, please review!
Frus: WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME?
Beastfire: I was bored.
Ivy: Why do you torment me?
Beastfire: 'Cause it's fun.
