SCREAM part 2

A/N: Okay, I'm finally out of my procrastination trance so this chapter is now public for you all to see.

Also wanna thank Meowth's Toon Dragon for letting me use the character Rhyme, who will appear in the next chapter.

It was a beautiful day in the countryside of the HTF community as a train quickly zoomed its way along the tracks, the wheels rumbling as it vibrated on the steel. The time was around 2:10 p.m. and everything was all sunshine and singing birds. Everything was calm and nothing was in the background besides a field of cacti and sand everywhere. The train was returning to the HTF village after an eventful week of playtime in the city. This train was blue and had a long white stripe on the side of it. The total capacity was roughly around 300 or so passengers and over 200 tons of cargo…and it was filled to the brim. Many of the people traveling to the HTF village were newcomers probably focused on buying a house or taking time off their job to go rest there. Some of these people were Stinky, Tevor, K-Zar, Kyra, Nak, and many, many others.

Speaking on newcomers, Lifty and Shifty were dragging along one of their cousins for another attempt to earn some cash and hopefully get away with it unscathed. But this was at least their 30th try and the last 29 times, they wound up dead. But hey, maybe today would be their lucky day. Anyway, their cousin's name was Robbo, and unlike Lifty and Shifty, he was blue with light blue stripes. He was also a tad bit fatter than his cousins, but it was more of a beer gut fat, not obese fat. He and his twin cousins were hiding in a metal container banging on the lid which sealed them inside. They weren't supposed to get out so early and were actually planning on getting out at night, but one of the cousins screwed up the plan…

"Damnit Robbo, how many times did I tell you not to fart while we're on the job?!" shouted Shifty.

"Hey, I wasn't the one who ate nacho flavored chili when we left Lifty!"

The three raccoons gasped for air when they finally broke open the lid.

"So I let one go in the crate! What would you do if you were bloated and it felt like you were gonna explode?!" asked Lifty.

"Drink Pepto-Bismol."

"Shut up Robbo."

The three raccoons hopped out the crate and began to examine the entire luggage around them, wondering which package they should search first.

"So which box you wanna search first?" asked Shifty.

"Gee, I dunno. Maybe the one that's shaped like a treasure chest?" said Lifty.

"You don't have to be a smart-ass Lifty."

"Will you guys stop arguing for one second and help me get this thing open?!" asked Robbo, who was prying open a crate with a large crowbar.

Shifty ran over to his blue cousin and the two of them began to pry open the golden crate full of…gold.

"Almost…THERE!!" yelled Shifty.

The two raccoons successfully pried the crate open with the crowbar, inadvertently throwing it behind them.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" howled Lifty.

Lifty was screaming and crying while trying to yank the crowbar that Robbo and Shifty dropped out of his eye. And to make things worse, it was the curved end used for prying that impaled him, so it kinda jolted his skull out of proportion.

"DON'T DO THAT!! YOU'LL SCRAMBLE YOUR BRAIN!!" warned Robbo.

Shifty stopped yanking on the crowbar and left Lifty to sit down and whine in pain, with blood pouring out his eyehole.

"What am I supposed to do then?!" demanded Shifty.

"How the hell should I know? Just…just go ask the conductor for help! Maybe he should know."

"We're trying to rob the train jack-ass! What do you want me to say? 'Hey, can you help out my brother here? I accidentally impaled him in the face while trying to rob your train. Also, gimme your wallet or I'll shank ya.'"

Meanwhile, Stinky and Petunia were sitting near the window in one of the train cars talking to each other, ignoring the fact that Disco Bear was sitting right behind them, dancing in his own disco world as he listened to his disco music.

"Look Petunia…there's this important question I gotta ask you…" said Stinky, scratching the back of his head.

"What? You wanna go in the bathroom and make out?"

"No."

"You wanna have sex?" said Petunia, sliding her finger near Stinky's genitals.

"…No, but we should."

Petunia gasped dramatically. "Oh my gosh! You…you wanna get married?!"

"NO!!"

"…Oh." said Petunia, dejectedly.

"I was gonna ask why your brother is hiding in the baggage compartment in the aisle."

Petunia and Stinky veered their heads left and saw a baggage compartment opened up slightly with two eyes peering at the couple. Tevor decided to hide in a secure location of the train to look out for his adolescent sister in case Stinky tried to do anything wrong to Petunia…in Tevor's case, rape.

"Pay no attention to the eyes that are staring at you. I am merely here for your protection." said Tevor.

"We get it Tevor! You hate my boyfriend and will stop at nothing to prevent us from dating each other!"

"That's not true! I haven't tried to kill your boyfriend yet!"

"Really? Then how come I almost got sucked into a woodchipper last Tuesday?"

"Your tail got caught in it. How's that my fault?"

"You hurled my body right at it Tevor!!"

"…Oh, yeah."

That's when Disco Bear overheard the conversation and decided to butt in.

"Hey sexy! What's shakin'?"

Everybody groaned loudly and rolled their eyes, still baffled at the fact the Disco Bear still flirted with Petunia and several other female HTF animals like it was nothing.

"No Disco Bear! I don't want to have sex with you! I didn't want to have sex with you yesterday; I didn't want to have sex with you last week. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU!!"

"Aw, come on! You don't really mean baby! Let me just give you a kiss so you can see what I mean--"

Disco Bear started to pucker up his lips and began smacking them right next to Stinky and Tevor. Tevor and Stinky made a fist and quickly turned around to lift their tails. Disco Bear screamed in pain when Stinky and Tevor sprayed him in the face with skunk oil, blinding him and making him smell like rotten eggs and sulfur.

"What the hell is your problem yo?!!" screamed Disco Bear.

But Stinky and Tevor ignored the disco loving bear and sprayed him in the eyes yet again, making him roll around on the floor screaming in pain. Disco Bear, knowing he'd rather smell fresh instead of funky to attract women, retreated to the bathroom with a can of tomato sauce so he could wash himself off. Meanwhile, a gray bunny who was wearing all black was talking to someone on the phone, holding her nose after Disco Bear ran past her seat.

"…anyways, your trip can't be that bad Cuddles. Besides, I thought you liked traveling on the sea?"

"I like traveling on yachts and fancy-shamncy cruises, not a goddamn pirate ship Kyra!"

"How bad can it be? At least you don't have a bear running around smelling like sulfur juice."

"Do you wake up in the morning by bonking your head on the bunk-bed?"

"No."

"Well, I do! Even when I know that I'm not supposed to jolt my head up, that's the only thing I can do when there's an alarm clock blaring in my ear at five in the morning."

Kyra laughed. "The captain makes you wake up at five in the morning?"

"Yeah. We were supposed to head straight home to the HTF village, but ironically, this guy Russell convinced the captain to collect this contract to go import exotic fish, so we've been fishing for the past two weeks."

"Wow. You wake up at five and have to fish. That is so horrible Cuddles." said Kyra flatly.

"I'm not finished yet! I haven't even gotten to the smell yet! It stinks on this ship!"

"What'd you expect? You got a bunch of fish stored in the cargo hold. Wouldn't you expect it to be a little smelly?"

"My cabin mate always eats squid! You seriously think I wanna wake up smelling an otter's smelly squid breath? And on top of that, some of the fish is just lying on the deck for people to step in. I had to burn my slippers after I stepped in fish guts!"

"Okay, so it smells like fish, your cabin mate reeks, and you're barefoot. I still don't see the problem here."

"A couple of the bathrooms don't even have doors! I had to wear a gasmask when I walking past a wolf taking a shit downstairs! How do pirates even stand this smell?!"

"Okay, it smells like fish and shit, you're walking around barefoot, and your cabin mate has bad breath. I still don't see the problem."

"Did I mention some of the pirates like to stab people for fun? Like, not killing stab, just stab-stab?"

Kyra sighed heavily.

Back in the second-to-last train car, Flaky was sitting with her father who was sitting adjacent from his orangutan friend, K-Zar. All three of them were sitting near the front row eating their meals at the time. K-Zar and Spiky were eating a few tacos with hot sauce in them while Flaky was eating a garden salad with ranch dressing. Also, a movie was playing in the front row named Shrek 2, one of Spiky's favorites.

"So how'd you like the Red Beavers game Flaky?" asked spiky.

"It was so cool Dad! I even caught the winning ball! I caught it in my mouth and almost choked to death, but who cares!" said Flaky, tossing up the winning ball.

"Heh heh! Yeah…"

Suddenly, K-Zar grumbled to himself and threw his soda bottle at the flat-screen TV.

"Oh, come on! When's it gonna get to the good part!!?" demanded the orangutan.

"Just wait a few seconds! They're about to show it." said Spiky.

Spiky and K-Zar veered to the edge of their seats, watching the motion picture with anticipation. It was on the part of the movie right after Shrek drank the magic potion and his stomach was gurgling. After a few seconds, Shrek farted for a few seconds and Donkey and Puss-in-Boots made a vulgar comment about the smell. Spiky and K-Zar started laughing their asses off.

"THAT WAS SO FUNNY!!! I LOVE IT!!" laughed Spiky.

"Yeah, Dad, just like the other 10,780 times we saw it." sighed Flaky.

Flaky admired her father and loved him with all her heart, but he always thought he was a little immature at times. The guy was over 40 and yet he still laughed at common jokes about toilet humor.

"Yeah! Remember the part when he went like," started K-Zar.

Both of them stuck their tongues out made a raspberry noise, which sounded like, "PBBBBTTTTTHHH!!!" followed by raucous laughter.

"Shrek is so awesome!" said K-Zar.

"I know, right?"

That's when the tacos Spiky and K-Zar ate began to react with the colon and their stomach began to grumble. Spiky and K-Zar looked at each other with conniving smiles on their faces and laughed once again. Flaky already knew that look from anywhere, so she rolled her eyes and got out of her chair.

"I'll go get the clothespins." she sighed.

She sifted through her bag and took out a pair of brown clothespins, plugging her nose with them before she walked into another car and left Spiky and K-Zar do their business. Just as Flaky predicted, the two had a bad case of gas and were gonna start farting up a storm, like several times before.

"Hey, Spiky." said K-Zar.

"What?"

K-Zar veered his leg in Spiky's direction and let loose a massive fart that heated up the whole room. He started laughing and fanning the smell in Spiky airway, yet they didn't seem to mind the smell at all and simply started rolling around on the floor laughing. Of course, some of the passengers were disgusted by the two, so they decided to grab their luggage and sit somewhere else.

"Wait a second, wait a second! Check this out!" said Spiky.

Spiky turned around and grunted loudly before he farted directly in K-Zar's face, causing him to laugh even harder and roll on the ground like an idiot. All of a sudden, an odd looking black canine with yellow ears and a blue nose crept behind the farting animals to ask a question.

"Sorry to interrupt your…gas battle, but could I borrow your socks?" asked the dog.

K-Zar raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"Unfortunately, some socks industries have been contaminated and several pedestrians have been claiming that after wearing these socks, they end up receiving an odd rash on the soles of their feet."

"So why do you need my socks?"

"Because I'll be able to detect whether or not the contaminating substance is within your socks by sniffing them, which is why I need them."

"…Okay."

K-Zar awkwardly took off his socks and handed them to the dog, who suddenly smiled mischievously and ran off to one of the bathrooms, locking the door. K-Zar simply shrugged and waited for his stomach to rumble once again. After it did, K-Zar chuckled to himself once again.

"Now this is how a person does it!"

K-Zar lifted his leg to release a really loud burst of flatulence, but it sounded very squishy when he finally blew the gas in Spiky's direction. And he felt a little…lump in the seat of his shorts…

"Wait a second, time out!"

K-Zar wiggled his butt against the floor and heard something squish.

"I think I just shit myself."

Spiky couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh so hard that he began to cry.

Meanwhile, Flaky was sitting next to a black ferret with a few sock puppets on her hands.

"So what's your name?" asked Flaky.

"Shuger. You probably know my older sister, Spice."

"Hmm…nope. Not familiar with the name."

"She always tells me not to eat my toys so I won't get indigestion, but I don't see what the big deal is."

"You're eating toys!!"

"And that's a bad thing, why?" said Shuger, just after she started stuffing her sock puppet in her mouth.

Robbo laughed mischievously as he continuously sifted through all the riches in the cargo compartment of the train. Robbo alone found over 30 different types of jewels and at least $20 million dollars. The blue raccoon chuckled to himself and began to stuff some gold into his large money sack.

"At this rate, we'll be billionaires in no time!" laughed Robbo to himself.

Robbo began to stuff gold into his bag when a mysterious dark shadow appeared behind him. Robbo wasn't sure what this figure was, but he wasn't paying any attention to notice. At least, not until the figure behind him let out a guttural growl.

"Huh?" asked Robbo.

Robbo turned around to see this dark red creature wearing all black. He wasn't sure what it was, but it had a furry tail and wings…and huge claws.

"Hey, if your comin' here to hijack the train, sorry bud! Me and my cousins beat you to it."

The creature didn't answer Robbo.

"Something wrong man? Cat got your tongue?" asked Robbo.

Robbo snapped his fingers in the creature's face, making him blink once.

"Hello? HEY!! I'M TALKING HERE!!!" said Robbo, pounding his fist on the creature's forehead.

"HELLLOOOOO!!!!" said Robbo, bonking a metal bat on his head.

"HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" said Robbo, bonking a suitcase on his head.

"HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" said Robbo, grasping a pair of cymbals, ready to smash his head in-between them.

The creature, irritated at Robbo, grabbed his tongue with his left hand and slowly pulled Robbo into the air, suspending him via his tongue. Robbo was gasping and trying to speak, but nothing came out except for sputters and bits of saliva.

"What the matter? Cat got your tongue?" mocked the creature.

The creature then laughed gutturally and grabbed Robbo's head with his other hand. Robbo screamed when the creature slowly began to turn his head around in a 180 degree angle. Eventually, Robbo stopped screaming when his neck snapped and he died, but the creature continued to twist his head around until it was facing the creature again…and his tongue had been ripped out in the process. Then the creature pulled his head off like it was a piece of taffy and popped it into his mouth, chewing it while blood dripped out of his mouth.

"Okay, now lie down on the toilet while I yank out the crowbar, alright?" said Shifty.

"WHAT! I thought Robbo said not to do that!"

"Robbo's an idiot Lifty! You know that. Now hold still…" said Shifty, getting on top of Lifty.

Shifty got on Lifty's back and began to yank the crowbar from the back of his head.

"OW! OW! OW! AAAHH!! AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

"Stop screaming!! They'll hear you outside!"

"I don't care! Just leave the crowbar in! I'd rather walk around with metal in my eye than no eye at all!"

"Just let me take it out!"

"NO!!"

"Damnit Lifty, HOLD STILL!!"

Both of them started to argue and fight over the crowbar and whether or not it should be kept inside Lifty's eye. All of a sudden, the door opened, revealing two young chipmunks with awkward expressions on their face. It was Giggles and her best friend Nak. Shifty was unaware that while trying to yank out the crowbar, his genitals got dangerously close to Lifty's butthole. And the fact that Lifty was crying and whimpering and that Shifty was on top of Lifty wasn't helping the situation. In order words, Giggles and Nak thought Shifty was ass-raping Lifty.

"…I can explain..." said Shifty meekly.

But Giggles and Nak didn't want to hear anymore and proceeded to another bathroom. Unfortunately, this was ten times worse than the other. When they opened the door, they saw spots of gooey grey and white stuff on the walls and heard a dog inhaling deeply while wagging his tail. The dog laughed with a crazy, lustful voice before he inhaled deeply again.

"What...the...fuck." said Giggles.

The dog turned around and revealed himself. He had a sock covering his nose, but that wasn't the weird part. No, what made this whole epidemic weird was that the dog had his dick in his hands. It was the same dog who stole K-Zar's stinky socks; he must've put them over his nose and began to sniff them with glee. That would explain why there was sperm and ejaculate fluid on the windows and wall. The dog, unable to lie his way out of the situation, simply said, "This is exactly what it looks like." Nak and Giggles slowly closed the door...just when Nak's head was split in half, causing Giggles to scream. She wasn't cut on anything and no force threw some sharp object at her neck or anything like that. She was just so...disgusted at what she saw that the top of her head just slid to the ground. Yup...just one of those random things.

...Or maybe it was the Curse Idol staring at the two; hard to tell.

Shifty was still dragging a wounded and blubbering Lifty through the train, trying to be as clandestine as possible. Right now, they were only a car away from the engine room and a guard was on the other side of the door. In order to get the medical kit from the engine room, they'd have to get past this guard and stop the train.

"How are we supposed to get past that guy Shifty?"

Shifty took out a small black pistol and cocked it, laughing mischievously to himself.

"A gun in Happy Tree Friends? I thought this was supposed to be a kid's show!!"

"Yeah, cause kids love to see cute, cuddly animals get decapitated with all the gory details shown." remarked Shifty.

The guard turned around and opened the door so that he could walk in the room that Lifty and Shifty were hiding in. The guard scratched his head and began to patrol around the room with his rifle cradled in his hands, ready to shoot any intruder on sight. …It was a little awkward actually, seeing an armed guard on a civilian train. But trouble could arise at any moment and the crew needed to be prepared. The guard stopped walking to look outside the window, noticing that it had gotten cloudy and dark. That's when Shifty snuck up from behind the unsuspecting animal and was about to shoot him in the back of the head. A dark shadow appeared in front of Shifty's view and a few seconds later, the window slammed down on the guard's neck, decapitating him.

"Huh?" asked Shifty, scratching his head.

"Ah, well."

Shifty ran over to the door and looked through the keyhole, noticing a hefty amount of engineers in the engine room. He was definitely going to need to find an alternate route to the engine unless he and his brother wanted to get gunned down.

"…Okay, new plan: We need to get up top onto the roof."

"What about the tunnel? What if it grazes by my eye and yanks the crowbar into my brain?"

"Will you stop questioning me and trust me? Now come on!"

So Lifty and Shifty got out of the window and climbed onto the top of the train, greeted by the rushing winds that could've knocked them all the way to the caboose. Lucky for the twin raccoons, they were able to travel along the roof of the train by grabbing onto the bars that were bolted into the roof.

"Don't worry Lifty! We'll get that med kit in no time and go back to robbing these idiots of all their cash!"

Shifty waited for someone to respond, but he heard no answer.

"Lifty?"

Shifty gulped loudly when he heard a grotesque crunching noise that sounded like bones snapping out of their socket. Shifty warily turned around and was shocked to see a horrible abomination with blood on its chin and mouth, growling at him. Before Shifty could react, the monster kicked Shifty in the butt and he was thrown in front of the train.

"NO!" sputtered Shifty, just before he landed on the train tracks that the train was traveling on.

"What the fuck?" yelled one of the crew members.

They looked outside in the middle of the train to see a green raccoon screaming and thrashing his arms up and down as he was slowly dragged underneath the train, getting his skin and organs torn off in the process. Some of them holstered their weapons to prepare for an ambush, but the creature abruptly gunned down all of the crew workers with a submachine gun, riddling them all with bullets. The creature hopped into the engine car and looked around, finding the lever that made the train accelerate even more than usual. The creature grabbed the lever and slowly moved it up so that the train was moving as fast as it could before he twisted the lever and yanked it off. The creature laughed evilly and hopped out the window, leaving the train to glide along the tracks itself at full speed.

And that train was headed for the bridge that Flippy and his friends were currently driving on…

To be continued…

A/N: I kinda rushed with the ending, but you'll expect more soon…or in a few weeks.
