Chapter 43- A Random Tower

Cassandra looks at what she thinks is just a guy with abnormally long hair and sighs again. "I would like to be glad that you defeated the skeleton, but he is still by the stairs."

"Don't worry. First the orb thing will fall-"

A purple orb of light falls through the ceiling.

"-then it will turn back-"

As the orb enters the long haired man, it changes into a skeleton again.

"-and as it runs at us-"

It scrambles to get up and run forward at the same time.

"-it runs into my trap."

As it approaches, it trips over a wire. Before it hits the ground, a ball of yarn wraps around it and sends it flying at a patch of super glue along the wall.

"... When did you set that up?"

Missingno shrugs. "I don't even remember the first floor. You think I remember setting up an overly complex trap like that?"

Cassandra rolls her eyes and walks towards the stairs. As they pass by, the skeleton struggles to get free. Cassandra ignores it, and pulls out a trail mix bar as they start to climb again.

"Hey, Cassandra. You don't seem to be phased by any of this."

"Yeah, because I live with a nightmare even worse than anything here."

"Really? What is that?"

She looks back at Missingno, lying down and trying to pull himself up the stairs.

When they finally reach the stairs, they find another large room with three skeletons wandering around.

Missingno used Quick Attack!

Missingno used Quick Attack!

Missingno used Quick Attack!

Missingno used Quick Attack!

With each movement, he arks through the air.

Cassandra raises an eyebrow. "Wait, did I just see you move four times? What was the other one for?"

"..." He slowly slips an Escape Rope behind his back. "... No reason."

She rolls her eyes as she walks past the regenerating skeletons.

"Man, what a haul!" Missingno holds up a collection of bottles, candy, and a Nugget.

"You are going to share those this time, right?"

Missingno stares at her as he splashes the contents of one of the bottles onto Driller.

"That was the HP UP, right?"

Missingno stares at her as he splashes the contents of another bottle onto Driller.

Cassandra raises an eyebrow. "Wait, what was that first thing?"

"An Elixer to recharge his PP. Driller has been using a lot of attacks on the last few levels."

"That's because you keep complaining about how tired you are."

"That's true. I'm just surprised how long it took us to figure this out." Missingno points back at the skeletons wrapped up in sticky string.

It's weird to think that String Shot can actually be this useful in real life. And even weirder that a bee can still create it.

"Well, he does have spears for hands. Common sense is different here."

Cassandra raises an eyebrow. "What now? Should we head back for the night? We don't even know how many more levels there are."

Missingno walks over to the windows.

"Wait! When did those show up?!"

"It is hard to tell from the inside, but you can see they exist from the outside. More importantly, the zombies are still loose." He looks back at her and smiles. "Besides, this is the second to last level."

"Really? Then let's go!" She rushes for the stairs.

Before she reaches them, a semi-transparent creature appears in her way. It glares at her through the bone mask it wears, and she backs off as it swings a bone club at her with one hand. The club continues on and breaks one of the steps.

Missingno stares at the broken step. "Wow, not only is this mother Marowak one of the only Pokemon to be given an actual gender, and is the only Pokemon to come back as a ghost, but she also can affect physical things even in this state. That is some serious anger right there."

And that's not even us messing with anything. 100% game canon right there.

He looks back at the Marowak spirit, which glares at him.

"At least it is only half as tall as us. Any bigger, and it would be-"

The Marowak spirit starts to grow. She reaches 15 feet before it stops, but even then, her club continues to grow.

… Ok, that isn't canon. That's our creativity.

"Uh, Missingno. I know you like to play around, but can you not make the enemy ridiculously huge this time?"

"First, I want it stated that the huge enemies is a bit that is done only (for the most part) in caves. Also, that wasn't me. She is a spirit, so she has no physical body to determine her size."

"Okay, then you can take care of this." Cassandra steps out of the way as the spirit brings the gigantic club down on Missingno.

The Marowak spirit's eyes widen as her attack is repelled. Missingno grins, wielding a large green leek.

"These won't become Bone Club and Stick until next gen, but I figured that to fight this craziness-"

Please don't say it.

"-I would need something just as Farfetch'd."

You are horrible.
