The Bug-Man Cometh, Part Three
Disclaimer: DON'T OWN ANYTHING! WAHHHHH! wait...i own my xbox and games...YAY!
Tea slowly opened her eyes, along with a big headache. "W-what happened?" she asks herself. She opens her eyes all the way to see a horrific and very disgusting sight (SORRY DRAGONS MAIDEN! EVIL! BWAHAHAHAHA!). She was wrapped in a green cocoon made from some kind of slime, the only part of her that was free was her chest area and her neck.
She tried to get out of the slime wrapping, but failed. Whatever this stuff was, it was strong. She sighed and looked around, the entire room was covered with slime and cocoons. She squinted to see some of those cocoons held her friends. Ryou was upside down in a cocoon, Brian's cocoon was stuck to the wall, with Yugi's next to him. "GUYS! Hey, guys! Wake up!" she whispered loudly at them. "They can't hear you, my dear," came a familiar and creepy voice ahead, in the shadows. She looked ahead as Weevil made his way into the light of the room, his body still changing. His hair was now matted against his head, little spikes had formed on the side of his arms, and large boil like bumps covered different parts of his body, wherever the armor didn't.
"What do you want, Weevil? Where's Joey and Bakura?" she asked fearfully. Weevil chuckled and scuttle his way to Tea, "They're not worthy of becoming one of the superior race that will soon cover this land, so I left them to die above ground," he told her "As for what I want, the answer is you, Tea," he said coming to a stop. "What for?" she asked him. "See, even though I have converted some other's into creatures like myself, I cannot fully continue my family, so I need a Queen by my side," he said, raising a claw-like hand to her face. She flinched as it touched her skin, and tried to push it away. "Where are we?" she asked him. He moved his claw away and moved towards Yugi's cocoon, "A large area of beneath the city, in the sewers. My old hive had grown to small for my family so I moved them here, where we can grow and prosper," he said looking around the room.
Tea saw movement behind Weevil and her eyes grew wide as more and more hybrids of bugs and humans came scuttling into the room. The ones that were female were easy to spot, even though they had tough bug skin, you could tell the difference from the chest area. These were different from Weevil, they were more insect than human, by the looks of them. "My Queen, these are you children," Weevil laughed, waving his arms around at the abominations in the room. The insectoids began to laugh that sounded like chittering, as Tea tried to free herself once more.
In a different part of the sewers, Joey and Bakura made their way around the complex maze of tunnels. "How do ya know where to go Bakura?" Joey asked, guarding the rear. "The trail of slime, Wheeler," Bakura scoffed, pointing to the sticky substance on the tunnel floor. Joey mumbled and kept the shotgun raised in case anything unpleasant came along. "This is nuts man," Joey told him. "Wheeler, if you don't shut up, I will rip out that tongue and shove it down your throat! We don't want them to know we're coming," Bakura said stopping and turning to Joey.
Joey was about to say something when he saw something on the wall beside them. A large cockroach was sitting on the wall minding its own, when Joey crushed it with the butt of his shotgun. "We need a flyswatta," he said wiping the guts of the roach off the shotgun. Bakura rolled his eyes and moved further down the tunnel. Shortly after he stopped and sniffed the air. "You smell that, Wheeler?" he asked Joey. "Smell what? I don't smell anything," he said looking around.
"You can smell food from a mile away but you can't smell this? Damn," the Tomb Robber muttered looking around. Joey growled and Bakura got on his knees and looked around. "I smell gasoline...a good deal amount of it, and it's getting stronger," he explained. He dipped his hand into some of the water covering the floor and sniffed. "Shit, it's all over the place...," he cursed, immediately flicking off the lighter "It's been leaking from something," he looked around until he saw the source of the flow.
Four red plastic gas containers were against the wall up ahead, one of them on the side with its cap off. Bakura got an idea and capped it off, then picked two of the containers up. "What are you doin' with those?" Joey asked him. "I just might be saving our asses," he replied. A noise nearby alerted them and they drew back into a side crevice to prevent from being seen. They watched as three insectoids passed by them, carrying the cocoons of their friends. Before Joey could aim his shotgun, Bakura bolted out of the hole and with a few quick swipes of his blades, he had decapitated the monsters. Joey nudged the corpses and glared at Bakura, "Ya mind tellin' me the next time ya gonna do that?" he snapped at the Tomb Robber."You wanna shoot that thing and have it's blast tell the entire place know we're here? By all means do that!" he snapped back.
A moan from the cocoons got their attention and they checked them. "Someone wanna get me outta here?" Brian moaned. "Hang on, Guardian," Bakura told him, as he tried to cut the cocoon with his knives. "Damn, this stuff is hard, what's it made out of anyway?" he asked trying to dig his dagger deeper into the hardened slime. "I don't get it. Those things were able to cut through them so they could carry them, why can't you?" Joey asked nodding towards the headless corpses. Bakura looked at the insectoids and thought for a moment. He walked over and began to cut into them. "Now what?" Joey asked him. "Well, if these things were able to pierce those things then," a loud squishy noise was heard as he pulled out a set of three spikes joined together, "Why not use these?" he asked smiling.
He went back to Brian and started to cut the cocoons with the spikes. Sure enough, they were able to cut through them. Soon Yugi, Ryou and Brian were freed and concious. "You guys ok?" Joey asked them. "Well, let's see, a giant bug monster kidnaps us and takes us down here to die or something, and he's planning to convert Tea. I'm just great," Brian said sarcastically, snatching the shotgun from Joey's hands. "How do you know what he plans to do?" Ryou asked him. "I kept going in and out back there, I heard him talking to Tea on how he's gonna make her his Queen. Like hell he will," he said darkly, pumping the shotgun. "You plan to take him on alone? With those things in there?" Yugi asked his protector.
"If I have to, I will," he said walking in the direction to the main area. "Guardian, wait a sec," Bakura said catching up to him. "You don't have enough ammo to kill all of them. You can't win," he said standing in front of him. "So what do you suggest we do?" Brian snapped at him. Bakura grinned and held up the gas containers from before, "How about a barbecue?" he suggested.
They followed Brian to the hallway leading to the main chamber of the hive. "Ok, here's the plan. Bakura will draw the attention ofthe bugs, and I'll distract Weevil. Bakura, once you've lost them, double back, and use those spikes to free Tea. Joey, Yugi, Ryou, you place these three gas cans wherever their likely to cause the most damage. Any questions?" he asked them. They shook their heads and he grinned, "Good...now let's go squash some bugs,". Joey looked at the horde of bugs ahead, "I think we're gonna need a bigga flyswatta for dis," he said.
Weevil was pacing around Tea's cocoon, chatting away as though nothing had happened at all. "Think of it, Tea...everyone will cower before us, they will serve us and they will be grateful to do so, for they will not be among those who were killed," he said casually. He came closer to Tea and rose to eye level, "Ready my Queen? Just a moment of pain, then you will be mine," he asked getting closer, opening his mouth wide, revealing those huge mandibles of his. Tea whimpered and pulled her head back as far as possible. Weevil was about to close the mandibles around her mouth when...
BOOM
Weevil roared as a part of his large body fell out of him and landed on floor. He whirled around to see Brian glaring daggers at him and holding a shotgun. He pumped the shotgun and aimed at him again, "GET AWAY FROM HER YOU BITCH!" he yelled, shooting another slug into the bug freak. Weevil let out a roar and started moving towards him. Brian let off three more shots before having to flee the room, with Weevil close behind him. Tea took this opportunity to try and escape. She put all her strength in it and with a loud cracking sound, her hands broke through the barrier. "What the?" she wondered, but decided it wasn't the best time to think about it.
She tore off the rest of the cocoon and fell to the floor. She heard footsteps running to her direction. She saw Bakura, Joey, Yugi and Ryou enter the room carrying gas cans. They stared at her with wide eyes, "How did you get free, Gardner?" Bakura asked her. "I don't know, I just punched through the stuff and I got out," she shrugged. "Even I wasn't able to cut through those things," Bakura narrowed his brow. "Guys, this ain't the time to argue," Joey told them as he placed his gas can on the floor. Ryou and Yugi placed theirs down in different spots, then Bakura took off his shirt and folded it. "What are you doing, Bakura?" Ryou asked his Yami. "Just wait and see, Hikari," he said taking out the final gas can and taking the top off. He inserted the shirt halfway in the can and took out his lighter.
Brian had one last slug in the shotgun and Weevil was getting closer. "Crap, crap, crap, crap!" he said to himself. He ran as fast as he could down the tunnel. He stopped at a three way intersectionand looked behind him to see Weevil was gone. He took deep breaths and started to laugh. Then he saw a large shadow coming towards him. "Shit," he said heading down one of the other tunnels. He stopped and saw more and more shadows coming towards him, followed by a chittering sound. "Double shit," he cursed and bolted down the only clear tunnel. He entered the hive chamber to see Bakura light his shirt in the gas can. "Brian, where's Weevil?" Yugi asked him. A loud roar came from behind him, "That answer your question? RUN!" he screamed. They all took off down the opposite tunnel.
Weevil and his children entered the hive chamber and looked around for them. Weevil looked around and noticed gas cans in his domain, and another one right as his feet, filled with gas, and a shirt that was on fire. "Oh shi-" he said just at the fire entered the can.
KABOOM!
A loud explosion rocked the sewers, causing everyone to lose their footing and fall down. Brian looked behind them and saw the flames approaching. "EVERYONE! GET IN THE SIDE HOLES!" he shouted, dragging Tea and Ryou into the crevice with him. The others took refuge as the fire came closer. They waited three seconds before the flames shot past them, nearly burning them with the heat. They waited until the firedied down, before moving. They stepped out of the crevices and looked around. "Did we get 'em?" Joey asked them.
"I think so," Yugi answered him. "WOOOOO!" Bakura screamed at the top of his lungs. "NOW THAT WAS FUN!" he yelled, causing everyone to stare at him. "Oh c'mon you have to admit that was COOL!" he said excitedly. Araspy voicecalled out to them. They turned to see Weevil slowly moving towards them, horrible burned.One of his legs were gone, as well assome of the top part of his body. "You gotta be fucking kiddng," Joey said in disbelief. Weevil reached out for them, then collapsed onto the tunnel floor. "Ok, can we get the hell out of here now?" Tea asked them.
They climbed a ladder and pushed away a manhole, a little scorched from the flames, and slimy. They stood on the sidewalk and looked around, "I don't know about you guys, but I want to go home," Ryou told them shaking his head. Brian nodded, "Yeah you guys go on ahead, I'll walk by myself," he said. "What about safety in numbers?" Tea asked him. He shook his head, and pointed to the horizon. The sun began to peek over the mountains, "I'll be fine, you guys go on," he told them pushing them down the street.
Ryou, Bakura, Joey and Yugi said goodbye and headed home for much needed sleep and showers. Brian turned to Tea, who was holding the shotgun from before. "Thanks, Brian," she said kissing his cheek. "Hey, I'm not the only one that helped out. Joey and Bakura were the ones that freed us, found the gas, as well as the shotgun," he said shaking his head. Brian leaned in for his kiss when he fell to the ground and was dragged to the manhole. Tea watched in horror as Weevil, injured as he was, pull Brian closer to him.
"I. WANT. MY. QUEEN!" he hissed at them. Brian began kicking Weevil's arm, but he was unphased. Tea lifted the shotgun at Weevil, but couldn't get a straight shot, not without shooting Brian. She double checked the chamber. One slug left. "BRIAN CATCH!" she yelled, tossing the shotgun at him. Brian looked up and caught the shotgun. He turned off the safety and when Weevil drew him close enough to him, he stuck it in his deformed mouth. "Chew on this," Brian growled, pulling the trigger. Weevil's head exploded like a water balloon. Brains, blood, and slime flew everywhere, smacking against Brian and Tea. Weevil's headless mutant body released Brian and fell into the darkness of the sewers below.
"God I hate bugs," Brian said wiping his face with his arm.
