I thought this chapter could be a fun insight on how the monsters act when they're not fighting and stuff like that. I know this story might not get the recognition I hope for it since It's mostly about the monsters. Hope y'all enjoy!
A ring is soon heard from the sleeping quarters. A thick ray of sunlight peeks through the dark room. Soon all monsters are woken from the alarm. Groans could be heard throughout the room as they start sitting up.
One of the first ones up is Buff Frog, who soon is out of bed to start his day. He walks through a door in the room which leads to a bathroom. It's lined with stalls on one side, and sinks at the other, with most of them covered in stains and grime.
He walks over to the sink and pulls away the dirty mirror. He grabs his toothbrush and paste and starts brushing, when Man Arm arrives in the room.
"Hi Buff Frog." He greets him while waving his human hand.
"Hello, Man Arm." He says back. Man Arm walks to the sink beside his and grabs his toothbrush. He takes the toothpaste next to Buff Frog and and starts brushing.
"You sure got out of bed quick." Buff Frog usually is the last one out, and has to be woken up by Ludo himself, who usually has to shout at him to get him to wake up.
"I have a mission to do. I must go talk to Master."
"Sounds interesting." Man Arm says, slightly curious. "I'll catch you later." He says putting down his toothbrush. He walks out of the room, as it starts to get more crowded. Buff Frog finishes, and is soon out the room too.
He soon makes his way out the room to go see Master. He walks through the hall into the room he was just in last night. He goes up the stairs to the door that leads to Ludo's room. He presses a button which emits a buzzing sound. An angry voice soon comes through the speaker on top of the door.
"Who is this, what do you want!?" Ludo asks.
"It's me Master, Buff Frog."
"Come on in then." Buff Frog grabs the door and swings it opens. He soon starts climbing up the spiral steps to his room. He opens another black door at the top of the stairs to Ludo's room and steps in. It's a fairly huge room with a king sized bed facing the door. It has it's own bathroom and fridge, since Ludo doesn't eat with the other monsters. He sees Ludo sitting at his desk.
"Ludo, Master." He greets him.
"Why are you here?" Ludo asks while getting up from his desk.
"What do you have planned for today?" Ludo looked down and stared at the ground in defeat.
"I'm announcing that our campaign for the wand will end today. I will send everyone out of the castle for good." The sound of this news horrified Buff Frog. He LOVED working for Ludo. Seeing Ludo defeated made himself feel defeated too.
"Well... What if I thought of an idea?" He suggested. Ludo turned to him, with a hilarious expression on his face.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA." Ludo bursts to laughter. "You, thinking of an IDEA?" Ludo found his proposal quite funny. His laughing punctured a hole into Buff Frog's esteem. A frown soon grows on his face.
"Master... I know I'm not the smartest... But what if you give me a chance? Just one." Ludo soon breaks out of his laughing fit. The room got quiet as Ludo was thinking about an answer. He soon gave a sigh.
"You know what? Fine. You have one day to think of an idea." Buff Frog became elated. He nearly jumped in the air with excrement. He grabbed Ludo's right hand and started shaking it like crazy.
"You won't be disappointed Master, I promise!" He said while still shaking. Ludo jerked his hand away.
"I better not, now get out!" He ordered. Buff Frog obeyed and left the room. As going down the steps, all he could think about was impressing his master.
He is soon back into the room with his other friends. They all are sat around the table eating lunch. They were served Onion Soup, packed with "great" flavor and a pungent smell. All of them are in their own conversations. Buff Frog is situated between Man Arm and Spikeballs . Man Arm soon notices he has a frown on his face.
"What's wrong?" He asks. Buff Frog snapped out of his thought.
"Oh nothing, just thinking about... stuff." Man Arm soon began wondering what he could be hiding from him. They had been best friends since they both joined Ludo's Army together. Buff Frog was also the only one who didn't make fun of his human arm.
"I wonder what Ludo has in stored for us today." Bearicorn says. " I hope we can have a party!" Bearicorn is known as a party animal (pun intended) amongst the other minions.
"That's a pretty stupid idea..." a voice from across the table murmurs. The whole room gets dead silent. Bearicorn flares his nostrils in anger.
"WHO SAID THAT!?" He yells.
"I did." The voice says. All heads turn to the source of the sound, which came out of Man Arm's mouth.
"What did you say? Speak up a little louder!" Bearicorn shouts, antagonizing him.
"I said that's a stupid idea!" Man Arm says, almost in a shout. Bearicorn growls at him.
"Shut up, puny arm! You are the weakest one here!"
"Oh yeah!?"
"Yeah!"
"That's a lie!"
"Is it? Just admit it!"
"I bet..." Man Arm stammers.
"You bet what, huh, tough guy?
"I bet I could beat you in an arm wrestling match, WITH my puny arm!" An OOOOOOHHHHHHH soon comes from the mouths of all the other monsters.
"You don't want to do this." Buff Frog whispers into Man Arm's ear.
"Let's do this then!" Bearicorn announces. At the call, all the monsters clear out the way. They walk up to each other and sit down at the table, with angry looks on their faces. They look up their arms and squeeze each other's hands. Three-eyed potato baby grabs both their hands.
"Alright, I want a good, clean fight. You know the rules, no biting, hitting, sneezing, cussing, farting, poking, pinching, and absolutely no spitting. Ready, Set, Go!" He lets go of both their hands and the battle begins.
Both monsters are locked into a grudge match. Eyes locked in a furious stare, both seem like they won't back down. The other monsters are hooting, hollering, and betting on who they think will win.
After a full ten seconds of no budge, Man Arm's arm starts turning towards the table. He starts sweating badly (despite being a cold blooded alligator). A devilish grin grows on Bearicorn's mouth.
"Come on Man Arm, you can do this." Buff Frog says to himself. Then, as if Man Arm heard him, starts pushing harder, then harder, then harder. The crowd cheers as Man Arm regains lost ground. They are soon deadlocked at the middle of the table again.
But Man Arm keeps pushing. This is his moment. This is his chance to prove everyone wrong about him. This was HIS time. What seems to be a battle cry comes from Man Arm's mouth. He pushes harder once more.
Everyone starts noticing that Man Arm is winning! They all start shouting his name. Bearicorm cant hold himself anymore. Man Arm, with one last push, forces Bearicorn's paw to the table. He has won!
He is soon scooped out of his chair and lifted to the air by the other monsters, all chanting his name. Man Arm is smiling as wide as he physically can. Bearicorn, humiliated, has his face in his hands, too embarrassed to look at anyone. Buff Frog sees Man Arm, and gives him an "I knew you could do it" smile.
It is soon midnight, and the ruckus has calmed. Everyone is getting in their separate beds, going to sleep. Buff Frog is laying down, now thinking of an idea for Ludo tomorrow. What did Ludo say last night? What was the problem? He recalled Ludo's rant from last night.
"I GIVE UP BUFF FROG! We can't possibly beat her! With that bratty little boy with her EVERYWHERE she goes, we're done! We lost, I surrender!"
He thinks over the quote. He goes to deep thought, really concentrating.
Then, as if it was magic, the idea comes to him. How did he not thin of it before? He soon shuts his eyes and attempts to sleep, with a smile on his face. He couldn't wait to tell Master.
