Chapter 34
Ivy, Frus, and Vrust started to go back towards the rest of their friends. They would try and clear things up, then work on finding a way home. Ivy's anger at Sprx and overall sadness had been diminished by the nearer death experience, and Frus planned to beat the crap out of the red monkey if need be. However, it soon became obvious that they wee lost…again. Frus and Vrust tried to see if they could follow their own scent from the trip to find Ivy, but apparently fat demons had no distinct odor when in the realm of the dead. So the three of them were reduced to wandering.
"Déjà vu," muttered both Frus and Ivy. "Maybe we can find a door that looks familiar, or something," added Frus. They began to look around, and eventually that saw something shiny in the distance and decided to investigate. They carefully made their way over to the whatever it was, hoping to avoid anything dangerous.
When they got close enough, they saw that the shiny thing was a big, silver, high-tech-looking door. It was in three segments and had big orb things in it.
"That's…different," said Ivy. When she received no response, she looked away from the odd door and at Frus and Vrust. The two of them seemed mesmerized; they were staring at the shiny metal with blank expressions. Ivy waved her hand in front of Frus' face and snapped her fingers. When that didn't work, she tried kissing Frus, and he came to almost immediately. Frus turned his father away from the door and yelled his name, awakening him as well.
"Father, do you have any idea what that door leads to?" asked Frus.
"This reminds me of something, but I don't really know what. I think that there is something of use behind that door," answered Vrust.
"We're about to find out," said Ivy. She had gone over to see about the door, and it was slowly opening. The segments were sliding together, revealing a doorway.
Making sure not to look at what was still visible of the door, Frus and Vrust followed Ivy inside. Vrust put a slab of metal in the doorway, just in case the door began to close. Inside it was dark. Ivy considered the door and decided to check for a light switch. Finding one, she flipped it and some bright lights came on. Suddenly, a big robot arm with a very intricately made hand on it came down and grabbed onto Ivy. Before Frus or Vrust could try to get her away from it, it pulled the microchip out of her and put bandages on her, then set her back down. As it patted her on the head, Ivy shook her head to relieve the dizziness from the speed of the treatment.
The hand retreated back to wherever it had come from and Ivy, Frus, and Vrust looked around at the rest of the place. There were several hundred machines, all of them sleek and well designed, although a few of them were unfinished. However, the thing that caught the attention of the three of them was a platform with a control pad and a circular doorway on it. They took a few steps toward it, and a voice came from behind them.
"I thought I heard someone out here."
