-I do not own any of the characters mentioned in this chapter except for Thesis. Neither do I own Coke, Mario Party 5, nor Super Mario Sunshine. And Morganna's white room is hers.-
Chapter Two: Morganna's White Room
Tsukasa sat in a large mushroom field, its dungeon far off, gazing up at the stars that littered the black and blue sky forming odd patterns.His back was pressed against one of the abnormally sized fungi seen so commonly.Sighing, the player who was stuck in "The World" brushed the bug that was always seen with him off the curve of his staff and sent the small thing flying into a mound of snow that covered this area like an immensely cold blaket.
Ignoring the cold temperature around him, Tsukasa stood up and started walking around, leaving footprints leading right to him in the snow along with a circular imprint left by the end of the staff in his right hand as it touched the white fluff. None other than the grunty food known as a mushroom, were placed here and there, bouncing slightly in one spot and repeating its name over and over and over to the point where you go all berserk and attack like crazy so there's nothing left of the little bastards. But he just ignored them all and stared ahead with a dull expression, being trapped in "The World" for so long had made him accustomed to the grunty foods.
Honestly, there wasn't much to look at in the field except for the snow that kept on falling and the mushrooms 5 times your size which you could find in any other mushroom field.Yet what the wavemaster was looking at was a bright light on the horizon and the little voice in his head that was saying 'Go towards the light...go towards the light' urged him on to find out what that light was. 'You're almost there...keep heading forward, to the source of the light.' Curse the voices in his head that would soon drive him to insanity.
But Tsukasa didn't have to go far as everything went blank as a wave of white slowly began washing over everything and erasing it all so the player was stuck in a bright void. He had to shield his eyes so he wouldn't become blind and felt like he was falling from far up only to land into a place, still with no color at all and its floor felt like it was padded. A pure white room that was padded, that was where Tsukasa was.
------------------
Raising an eyebrow, Blackrose watched as a purple-haired heavy axeman and a robed wavemaster fought while she just sat on a rock in the snowy mushroom field, one leg crossed over the other.The mutilated hacker just seemed confused and picked up a mushroom which could be used as grunty food that instantly stopped calling out its name and started screaming in agony as he bit into it.
"Why'd we bring them again?" she asked Kite, bored with watching the two fight. Piros was already scorched pitch black and Thesis was soaked in blood.
Looking over at her, the twin blade just shrugged and continued eating the mushroom, slapping it a few times while holding it in his mouth to try and get the thing to shut up.'Come to me Kite, come to the light.'Stopping in mid-bite, he looked around nervously to see if anyone else had heard that soft voice in his head, it sounded like a woman's.'Behind you Kite, the light awaits your arrival.' Knowing he'd regret it, the player feasting on some grunty food turned around and saw that there was a bright light like the voice had told him about.'Run to the light!'
Kite couldn't resist, the voice kept telling him to venture closer to the light he saw, in a rather seductive tone.The mushroom still placed between his teeth yelled 'mushroom'Because it wasn't being bitten into and had no need to scream in agonyas its captor began running in the opposite direction of the others. Blackrose turned to watch as the hacker began to run off and Piros gazed as well, while Thesis took this as an opportunity to whack the axeman a few times in the head with his staff before turning his attention to the figure that was getting smaller as it got farther away.
'Yes, you three too, go to to the light along with your friend.' The trio pondered over the mysterious voice's commands carefully and came to one conclusion: That they should get out of here as soon as possible if they treasured their lives in any way. But they had no time to leave as the light ensnared them and sent them to a horrible place where they would all slowly lose what sanity they had.
------------------
Piros, Blackrose, and Thesis were thrust into a room cut off from the rest of "The World", landing harshly on its padded floor. Rubbing the back of his head, the illegally modified player looked around the blank room, the only color coming from the prisoners it held. Somewhere in a corner, a brown and yellow blob was curled in a ball, rocking back and forth while muttering inaudibly with a look of sheer derangement on his face. The hacker sat somewhere in the middle, if that even was the middle, and seemed to be in another world, the mushroom in his mouth KO' ed. Roughly behind him was an unfortunate heavy blade with an annoying armor clad player draped over her body.
"Get off of me you damn thing!" Blackrose yelled, trying to push herself out from under Piros's heavy form with no prevail.She would have also probably screamed louder if her lungs weren't being crushed at the moment.
Thesis snickered at her futile attemps."You know what? It kinda looks like he's trying to--" he was cut off as a large sword grazed his right cheek and collided with the also padded wall, forming a bunch of spheres like when Mario enters a 'M' portal on Super Mario Sunshine, and then dissipated.
Kite was then, for no apparent reason, knocked out of the trance-like state he was in and once again began to eat the mushroom he'd been scarfing down for the past 13 and a three quarter minutes making little progress as his fangs sunk into to chewy, squid-like substace. 'Hmmm...I wonder if eating this thing will let me hit a second dice.'He thought, referring to Mario Party 5 which was probably still inserted into his silver gamecube. Tsukasa just curled himself into a tighter ball, unaware of anything around him and closed his eyes, random syllables sometimes heard.
A voice suddenly spoke, seemingly coming in all directions. It was also the same alluring voice that called out to the five in the pure white room earlier.
Hello my slaves, and welcome to Morganna's white room A.K.A. my whiterom, where you'll go insane through drawn-out torture. Buahahahahah--Oh, crap! My sexy voice is wearing off!
The word 'off' was spoken in a much different voice than the rest of her statement, it was in a voice that made the silver-haired wavemaster let out a girlish shriek and bolt straight up, the look of derangement on his face replaced with a look of terror."B-but you're supposed to be dead!" He was shaking with fear as he hid behind Kite with wide eyes.
Staring up at what could pass off as a ceiling, was the second wavemaster in the room."You know, you're voice wasn't sexy and still isn't sexy, and sexy voices are normally followed with sexy bodies. Then you must not be very sexy," Thesis sighed with dissapointment.
In a puff of purple smoke, a dictionary appeared out of thin air and landed on the twin blade's lap, pages flapping as he flipped through them with his right arm, searching for a paticular word."And we aren't your slaves either."His voice was muffled seeing the quarter eaten mushroom was still entangled with his fangs."1 : a person held in servitude as the chattel of another. 2 : one that is completely subservient to a dominating influence . 3 : a device that is directly responsive to another. That's the definition of 'slave' and we are none of the above thus making us, not your slaves. And proving I do have a brain after all!"
"Hey, where'd you get that dictionary?" Questioned Thesis as the book was slammed shut.
"What dictionary?" Kite asked dumbfounded and it dissapeared in a puff of red smoke this time while the other muttered something that sounded like 'never mind..'
Silence mortals! I, Morganna, am back with my little white room of doom, and without a sexy body since I am a diesembodied voice. As far as I am concerned, you are my slaves but I don't really care. Now I bid you farewell as I go to a bar to get hopelessly drunk.
Morganna left in a matter of seconds, though you really couldn't tell since she was a disembodied voice after all, and left the robed wavemaster wondering how she could get drunk if she had no body. As if posessed, the twin blade just kept eating the overly mentioned mushroom not noticing that Tsukasa was latched into his arm, making it harder to devour the grunty food. But there was something missing in the room devoid of all color, the female dot hacker would have surely spoken by now yet she just laid there with the unconscious Piros still crushing her.
"I...I can't...log out."Blackrose murmured weakly, her unwavering gaze staring ahead."I can't log out."
"Who cares?" Grinning like a mentally unstable person that really should be in therapy, Thesis held up a can of dark soda that hadn't been there before."Because we got coke!"
All looked up in awe at the red can that gleamed in the brightness of the room, their eyes tracing over the curly words that read 'Coca-Cola', entranced by its beauty. This lasted for a good seven minutes before a half-clothed figure was warped to the room, and got down on his knees. Hands clasped together, he raised his arms into the air diagonally.
"There is a god! I believe! I really do believe!" Balmung yelled loudly while crying tears of joy.
Apparently the only player in the room that had noticed the arrival of the bishie was none other than the heavy blade who, using her super rabid fangirl strength, pushed Piros off of her and glomped him violently.
Barely hard over Blackrose's chants of 'I've Got a half-naked Balmung, I've got a half-naked Balmung' came his cries."Noooo! Not more fangirls! Why have you forsaken me, God?" Balmung began sobbing again, not in joy, but in pain. Ignoring the addict and its object of affection, the two wavemasters and the twin blade stood in a triangular circle with their so-called savior held out in Kites right, and only, palm.
"This coke...it is our savior. No, it is out lord.We must make a human sacrifice!" Tsukasa declared, shooting a fist into the air.
Passing the can which was now their lord to another, Kite tapped his chin thoughfully as he scanned the white room."...But who?"
Thesis was the last to speak and he pointed over to where a green-haired twin blade had just appeared as randomly as Balmung had,"That one should suffice."
"Now, come on! Why me!" the newly-appeared Sora took a step back and released his weapons to reveal that his two, identicle blades had been replaced with yellow rubber ducks that squeaked. Things weren't going too well for the PK, that is, untill a boy materialized in Morganna's white room.
The boy had spiky, multi-collored hair and wore a 3-D pyramid puzzle on a chain around his neck."Believe in the heart of the cards!" Yugi yelled the overused line to Sora. "Hey, wait. Is that...is that coke?"
Giving the duelist an angry glare since she thought he was their to take away her bishie, Blackrose wrapped herself tighter around Balmung."Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!" Of course the single word was repeated many more times but the author didn't feel like making the rest of the chapter a lone four letters spelled out over and over to the point of exaustion. And then there were the question marks. The question marks!
So everyone more-or-less tuned her out in a matter of minutes except for poor Balmung who had Blackrose screeching right in his ear. Quickly enough, his ear was literally bleeding.
Yugi cheered happily as he realized that the can was indeed, a coke can. Snatching it out of Tsukasa's hand, he downed the soda and made a thumbs up sign like he was that red kool-aid man then threw the lifeless can down to the padded floor.
"Got Milk?" And with having said that, the boy dematerialized out of the room.
Confused, the hacker tilted his head to one side."That was odd," He then turned to their crushed lord and began sobbing before searching through his pockets for a new lord. All that turned up was a half-empty bag of sugar.
Handing their lord to the other wavemaster so he could bury it, the robed player started trying to steal the 'all-powerful' sugar out of Kite's gloved hands, "Let there be sugar!" Thesis yelled once he grabbed the bag and threw the white-ish grains into the air.
Slowly, the sugar began falling like snow in the mushroom field, only to dissapear like the heavy blade's sword had upon hitting the floor.
"What a waste..."Sora said sadly, poking the floor with one of his squeaky rubber ducks.
After a few minutes passed, a male scream of frustration abruptly cut through the air in the white room since a can hadn't been buried followed by yelps of pain as a metal staff was pounded into someone's skull. There was also a dissapointed moan as a player found out that the wings of a modified wavemaster weren't edible whilst sobbing over gone sugar began. Constant swears by the bound-to-a-chair-by-a-fangirl bishie and joyous chanting joined the other rather random noises of the white room. Plus the maniacal laughter of a disembodied voice had abruptly joined in.
To be blunt, it was the demented chorus of psychopaths.
Shaking its head in disgust, was a floating cat-like creature holding a quill to the page of a light purple book with 'Maha's Diary' written in curly cursive letters of a golden hue across the cover. Dipping the feather back into the ink jar floating beside it, Maha continued writing on the lineless page in a tidy scrawl.
'So the insanity continues. I'm not sure how much I can take though they haven't been here long compared to Morganna's other 'slaves' like she loves to call them. I was against the white room idea from the start but I was threatened with the guardian piercing my flesh which as you could imagine, hurts. A lot.'
It paused for a moment to submerge the quill in the black liquid again.
'Oh, well. It could be worse. I still shudder when I think of the couple she trapped in here yesterday. I've never been a big fan of hentai. Fortunately, they're both long gone.'
The cat-like creature glanced over at the players before returning to the diary entry.
'I'm still wondering why they haven't spotted me...I've been here the entire time hovering a mere two feet from the ground. But I shouldn't expect much from them. Well, this entry shall have to come to close now because my ink supply is running low and Morganna won't let me get any more. Damn her. The noise is also driving me temporarily insane.
-Maha'
It then teleported out of the room, the quill placed in its pocket.
------------------
"So..."Blackrose began, running her finger in a circle through the blindingly white snow of the mushroom field."How'd we get out of that place?"
"Maybe the room was only temporary or something like that."Sora suggested, not believing what he just said.
Kite just shrugged and plunged his fangs deeper into the same mushroom."Maybe God had pity on our poor souls."
As he said that, Balmungs eyes lit up,"Maybe God heard my prayers after all!"
The heavy blade just shook her head at the newest theory,"No...God never listens to those."
"He doesn't...?" Balmung was saddened by her words and his head hung low.
Bringing his knees up to his chest, Tsukasa turned his gaze towards the brilliant night sky,"Maybe Morganna just...let us go."
All that spoke before him gave him an odd look as the truly bizzare idea was proposed.
Thesis dully poked at the snow with his metal staff, leaving holes in the snow,"Who knows? Maybe God really did save us from Morganna's White Room..."
------------------
Somewhere, up in heaven, God laughed at the player's conversation."Ha! As if I'd ever do that for you pathetic fools. Morganna just choked on a hotdog and accidentally pushed a shiny red button, sending you all back to the mushroom field." Then God went back to stroking Maha who sat curled up on his lap.
