p.s. sequel to Destiny is weird
Zim, Gaz, and Derek had entered the room shortly after Tak told them to. They all stared at the vastness of it, and then felt their body's fall downward toward the maze. Zim released his spider legs and easied Derek and Gaz to the ground. They landed with a thud and looked at their surrondings. The ground was covered, oddly, in dirt. On the ground the group could see marking on the ground. The markings looked like a elongated frog foot, only at the end there were little holes, clearly claws. The group also noticed the bones lying on the sides. Some of them had been snapped, others had the clear distinction of teeth marks. But one thing was certain. They were all human bones. The group got uneasy as they looked ahead, as it was the only way, and began to think of a way out. As they saw they had no choice but to tred the maze, Zim switched a light on his pack, and the group treked forward.
" I wonder how this place was put together"? Asked Gaz. " I mean, who puts an entire maze in a space ship"? Derek pointed towards Zim, who lit up with rage.
" What do ya mean me"? Zim spat at Dereks face.
" Come on Zim, you put a freaking transfer tube in a trash can". Zim could only stand there speechless at Dereks point. Then, from the shadows, the group heard a voice.
" My, what loud morsels you are". The voice had a raspy, crackle to it. " You will not be so loud when you are in my stomach". A figure emerged from and the group gasped at the creature. It was like a giant frog, only it's mid-section was skinnier than that of any from. It had a giant head a yellow like eye's that were positioned over it's large mouth. The creature's mouth was like that of a frogs, but the group could see glistining teeth on the inside. Its arms were long and scalely, which ended onto five long fingers that had razor sharp nails. The creature was at least 11ft tall and towered over everyone. It was a light grey color, from obviously being in the dark too long. The creature stepped forward, taking a huge 5ft move forward, and stoped infront of the group. It seemed to sniff the air and then smile, showing all of it teeth. It looked directly at Gaz and spoke. " You seem to have a nice smell to you. You will be first". Then a giant tongue shot out of the creatures mouth and wrapped it self around Gaz. Gaz was jerked forward and headed straight for the creatures mouth.
Dib carried Tak through the maze with ease, surrprizingly he found. He had obiously gained more strength when the man in the bowler hat had touched his forehead. Dib looked behind him at Tak, as she slept against his back. He cursed himself for hurting her and had made a vow never to harm her again.
" I would hope so you little weirdo".
Dib stopped. He had just heard a voice he was sure of it. " Who's there"? He said to the darkness.
" Oh man, why do they always say that".
" Who are you and what-".
" Do you want? Yeah, I've heard it all before".
" Are you... in my head"?
" BINGO. Give the man a prize".
" But how is that-".
" Possible".
" Yeah, and why are you-".
" Able to talk to you".
" Would you stop-"
" Finishing your thougts".
"..."
" Aww, come on. Don't be a sourpuss".
" Okay, who are you"!
" I am your guide, your companion, and your only help in this battle for the world. Man that was a whole lot better than last time".
" Last time? You've spoken to me before"?
" No, not you".
" Then who"?
" Derek".
" What! Derek can hear you too. How is that possible"?
" Nevermind that, the thing you need to know right now is that Derek is slipping out of my reach and it's becoming more difficult to contact him. So, I need you to be the one I contact frome now on".
" Wait, why is Derek becoming more difficult to talk to"?
" At the moment, I can't tell you. That is for Derek to do. But know this, the time is approaching for when Derek will have to choose between good and evil, and only one person can help him move over to the side of good".
" Shade"?
" My god, your faster at getting this than he ever was. It took me nine chapters just to get him to admit his feelings for her".
" Wait, what do you mean chapters"?
" Uh, no time, uh, a giant frog is attacking your sister and you better hurry if you want to save her, see'ya".
" Wait". Dib waited for the voice but it never came back. Then Dib felt rustling on his back and he turned to see Tak was awake. He sit her on the ground gently and began checking for wounds. She stopped his hand as it was on her neck and looked him in the eye's. He looked back at hers and edged his face close to her. Tak closed her eye's, waiting for the kiss.
" Stop trying to get some DATR and get your ass to your sister dumbass".
Dib snapped out of his trance and pulled Tak up, who had a disapointed look on her face. Then a pitched scream was heard from a corridor to the left of Dib. He looked at Tak, and they both ran towards the noise.
The frog creature's let out another yellp, as Zim's spider leg dug his tongue deeper into the ground. After finnaly seeing he couldn't get free, the creature realeased Gaz and shot his tongue at Zim, knocking his back against a wall. The creature hopped backwards, clutching it's injured togue. It then shot a glance towards Zim, who had picked himself up and went over to Gaz and Derek. The creature brought it self up to its full hight and put its tongue back in. " Choo vill fay tor tis". His injured tongue caused him to speak with problems. The creatures yellow eyes shot shut, and it stand stilled for a second. Then its eyes shot open and it lunged towards Zim.
Then a blinding suge of light filled the space and the creature screamed in pain as the brightness shone on it's eyes. Derek, Gaz, and Zim, all shielded their eyes from the light and gradually it became dimmer, and soon two figures could be seen. Dib and Tak.
Gaz saw Dib and rushed forward to embrace him in a hug, leffting him off the ground and shaking him. " Dib, I'm so happy your okay. I was sure you-". She stopped when she noticed what she was doing, and quickly dropped Dib on the floor with a thump. She brsushed some imaginary dirt off her shirt and then looked down at her brother. " Where the hell were you, I went crazy looking for you, and what is with the freaking white jacket, and why are you able to glow white, and why do you have a big"?
" I, wait, I don't have a big head"! Just then the creatures tongue wrapped it self around Dib and brought it towards its mouth. The group to grab Dib but was too late as his head reached the creatures mouth. Then, in all irony, Dib's head wouldn't get past the teeth and he was hanging in mid air as the creature tried to get Dib in his tummy.
" Look". Derek pointed. " Dib's big head can't get pushed past that thins mouth".
" I DON'T HAVE A BIG HEAD"! Dib screamed from the mouth.
Finnaly the creature spat Dib on the floor and jumped towards Derek. Derek however, was prepared. He ducked down as the creature swiped the air, and grabbed one of the broken off bones. He brought the make shift weapon up and into the creatures stomach. The creature stopped and looked down at the bone sticking out of its belly. It staggered backwards before finnaly falling to the ground, dead.
Zim went up and poked it, when it did'nt move, he looked over at Dib. " Just what the heck is going on"? Before Dib could answer, the group felt the ground beneath them shake. Then the maze walls began to fall down into the ground, until they had disapered. The entire roome was empty, save the IZ crew, and looked like a barren wasteland. Derek looked around and spotted the rooms doorway into the next one. He headed for the door, without looking back to check and see if the others would be coming. " Derek wait"! Zim yelled as the others tried to cathc up. Finnaly Zim got by the shoulder and spun him around. " Just what the hell is you problem anyways"?
" My problem"? Derek said in a angry voice. " My problem is that were wasting time just setting on our asses, when Shade could possibly be in trouble as we speak. Thats my problem Zim". He then turned and entere the next room followed by the others.
