Heh. I bet you thought I gave up on this one, huh? Sorry it took me so long ta post it. It may be even worse than the prev. three chapters, due to
severe writers block --; I knew where I wanted to go with it, just had trouble putting it into words. Ah well on with the story, hope it doesn't suck too bad.
Yakko cringed, hands up in defence, awaiting the impact. Instead, however, there was a loud 'THWAP!' sound and the monster's startled yelp. Confused, he opened his eyes to see his brother standing there with his trusty mallet in his hands, smileing wide. Yakko breathed a sigh of relief, but the relief was short lived.
The creature went sailing through the air, and crashed into a nearby empty container, shattering the frosted glass. A shard of the glass sliced the monster's pale flesh, but the wound healed quickly. The creature got up, shook it's self off, faced the two boys and let out another angry screach. It was NOT happy to see yet another intruder in it's home.
"Aaaahh...I think that now...would be an exelent time to run for our lives." said Yakko, as he spun around and took off. Wakko said nothing, but quickly followed his brother's lead, the monster's angry screaches close behind.
Dot gasped and peered onece again into the frozen container. Stareing back at her were four, big blood red eyes. The thing didn't seem to see her, even though it's eyes were wide open.
"Actually...it's kinda cute. In a...creepy, four-eyed lizard kinda way." she said out loud. She looked around, realizeing that this wasn't the room she was looking for. She slowly turned to leave, but stopped after a second thought. Looking back at the infant-like face and four adorable eyes of the creature, she quickly made up her mind.
"Well...it couldn't hurt to hold it for a second." she decided, and pushed the red button the was conveniently located right next to the container. Dot stepped back as the container lid lifted with a hissing noise, and white smoke billowed from the opening. As the thick, cold smoke cleared, Dot peered over the side.
"Awww. Come here little guy." she cooed, as she reached in to pick it up.
Holding the baby,...whatever it was, close to her body, and cooing to it softly, she began to walk towards the door. Soon after the creature came in contact with her body, however, it blinked, then let out a shriek of pain. Startled, she almost dropped it. She quickly held it out to inspect it, to see what could have gone wrong. She stared in horror as it melted in her hands, and ended up as a pile of goo on the frozen floor. Her stomach did flop-flops as she stared at the bubbling goo that, seconds ago, was an adorable baby...thing. She didn't know wether to feel sad that she killed it, or grossed out because she now had goo all over her hands and feet. She groaned and tried the best she could to shake the goo off before slowly walking back out the door to find her brothers and the doc.
After what seemed like hours and hours of running down different hallways, and trying to lose the creature in their pursuit, the inevatible happened. The brothers reached a dead end. They spun around in unisen, just in time to see their only exit blocked by the towering monster. Yakko silently asked himself why every scary place had dead ends, what in the world could they be for! He looked down at his little brother, sadness replaceing his fear. This was the first time in his life he felt he couldn't protect his brother and sister. Heck, he didn't even know where his sister was! He realized he had to do something. So, from a lack of a better idea, he leaped into the air and landed on the monster's shoulders, and held on tight. At least he could try and destract it while Wakko got away, he thought.
As the monster shrieked and spun around wildly, scliceing at the air with it's four scyths, Yakko yelled at his brother to run. But wether it be because he didn't want to leave his brother, or the fact the he was scared stiff, he didn't move. Yakko soon realized how stupid his mistake was as the monster's long neck swivled around, and two rows of sharp teeth clamped down on his tail. Then, in one fluid motion, the beast's neck shot foward, slamming Yakko into the wall. Now, if he hadn't been almost completely numb from the cold, that all might have hurt quite a bit. But seeing as he could barely feel anything below his neck, he hadn't felt much of anything. And, being a toon, he quickly got back up.
"You okay?" asked Wakko. But Yakko didn't answer. He was too busy watching the monster, who was still shrieking loudly and flailing it's arms, steam rolling off it's body.
"...Coooool!" Wakko whispered in amazement. This was quite funny to him.
"I don't get it, why..." Yakko thought out loud.
"He's danceing!" Wakko said in excitement, as he began to dance, too.
"Aaaahh...I don't think so." Yakko reasured, giveing his brother a worried, yet thoughtfull, look.
"I wonder...hmmm...Wakko, do you have a torch?" he asked after a short moment of thought. Wakko stopped danceing and smiled wide.
"Sure do! In fact, I can do better!" he replied, pulling a flame thrower out of his wacky sack, and handing it to Yakko. Yakko shrugged, then gave the creature a deviouse smirk before blasting it with pure concentrated fire. The creature shrieked one last time before it was reduced to nothing more than a smokeing puddle of goo. Yakko chuckled.
"Looks like our new best friend couldn't take the heat." he joked.
"Yea." Wakko said. "No wonder it's so cold in here."
Yakko smiled, but briefly, because he suddenly felt his knees begin to give out and he quickly caught himself on the wall. Wakko gasped in shock and hurried to help his brother. Before he could reach for him, however, the whole wall slid open, and Yakko, after a moment of flailing, collapsed onto the floor on the other side.
"...Ow." Yakko mumbled. Wakko sighed and stepped into the doorway to help his brother up, but was frozen in his actions as he saw what lay beyond the doorway.
Yakko looked at his brother, wondering what he had stopped for. His heart skipped a beat and almost stopped completely when he saw the look on Wakko's face. He hadn't seen that look since he had that incedent with the clowns. Yakko slowly looked around and for onece, was speechless. Thousands and thousands of the monsters filled the dimly lit room, eyes glowing a crimsen red, fangs dripping with yellow saliva.
"Eeep..." Yakko squeeked. "Wrong floor." Wakko snapped out of his frozen state, grabbed his brother by the arm, and they took off down the hallway.
"Come on, Wakko. We need to get back to the others." said Yakko. "Something tells me we're going to need alot more help."
Yaaay chapter end. I realize it looks like a five-year-old wrote it, but like I said, I had major trouble putting it into words. But don't worry; only one more (maybe two) chapter to go! Oh and do you think I should up the rateing?
