Chapter: 18
"Don't bother using me as bait to bring in Stranger." Ima said, as she was being dragged into a cage by a Wolvark.
"Why's that, dear Ima?" Nightingale asked, curiously.
"He hates me, so he wouldn't really care about me, dead or alive."
"Is that so? Well, that won't stop me from bringing him in. By telling me just that, you just changed the rules of the game."
"Excuse me!!" Ima yelled, as she was thrown into and locked in a cage.
"It'll take more than a grudge to keep me away from him."
"By any chance, are you crushing on him?"
"Maybe……then again, maybe not. It's pretty hard to tell. I'll be going now." Nightingale said, as she left the room.
Ima sat down and sighed. "What is she up to?" She thought.
The Oddworld sun began to set as the moon began to rise. On a cliff above the Grubb village stood Nightingale. She stared down at the village with her blood-red eyes. "This will be easy." She thought.
She snapped her fingers and in a puff of smoke, she morphed into Ima. "So, if he hates her now, I wonder how much more hatred he'll release if 'Ima' goes on a little killing spree." She thought, as she jumped off the cliff and landed on the roofs of the Grubb huts.
In a few seconds, one of the Grubbs had spotted her. It was a Grubb soldier. "DUDES!!!" He yelled, pointing at her. "It's the traitor!! Get Stranger here now!!"
Frayda and a few other Grubb soldiers quickly ran for Stranger's house, while the other soldiers left to fight her.
"That's right. Bring Stranger to me. I can't wait to see the look on his face." Nightingale thought, as she leaped off the roof and attacked the Grubb soldiers.
Black lightning started charging on her hands. She grabbed one soldier with her charged hands, and just like that, the lightning surged though his body, killing him in an instant. She then through the dead Grubb into a group of Grubb soldiers, which caused them to stumble and trip over each other.
One other Grubb soldier tried to attack her from behind, but she saw that coming. The soldier tried to stab her in the back with a spear, but she quickly grabbed the spear and used it against him by stabbing him in the chest with it.
"This is pathetic." She thought as she continued on her killing spree.
Suddenly, she heard the scream of boombat coming overhead. She glanced up and saw one flying towards her. She quickly jumped out of the way and landed on a wooden barrel. She smirked. "Finally, he's here." She thought.
Stranger stood afar from her, glaring at her. "Why are you doing this, Ima!!" He yelled at her with his crossbow pointing at her.
"I just needed to blow off some steam." She said sarcastically.
"Are you mad at me for leaving you or something?"
"No, not really. It's just that I'm not used to anyone dumping me so harshly."
"And you're hurting the Grubbs because why?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's the only way to get your attention. By the way, that crossbow looks new. Where'd you get it?"
"That's none of your business! Get out of here now or I'll be forced to kill you!"
"Do you even have the guts to shoot me?"
"You bet I do." He said, loading a boombat on is crossbow.
"Take your best shot at me then." She taunted.
Without hesitation, he shot three boombats at her. At first, he was pretty confidant, but then he was surprised when he saw her slap all three boombats away as if they were nothing. "Is that all you got?" She taunted once more.
As he was about to load some more boombats, he was interrupted by an explosion. He looked to see what it was and he was shocked. The hut that housed all the injured Grubbs was up in flames. "What happened?" He yelled at her.
She smirked at him. "That was me. Thank you very much." She said, evilly. "I hope all the Grubbs in that hut rest in pieces." After that, she disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving Stranger to handle this. He quickly ran to help the Grubbs. It was clear to him now. Ima is public enemy number one.
On her way towards her lair, Nightingale shifted into her normal form. "This should get a little more interesting." She thought.
Sorry if there are any typos! See you in chapter 19.
