Snakes dot doc
(Dang Fanfiction dot net won't let me add .s)
At a barren area below a cliff.
"Man there is NO END to these things!" Ayame, a girl in green and pink robes with blue hair, exclaimed. Her gang was surrounded by 3 gorilla-like monsters.
"I could beat up these losers all day." Bender, a robot with lanky arms and legs, big teeth, and q chest compartment, said as he broke one of the monsters arms.
"It doesn't matter how easy they are to beat, fighting them like this is pointless." Lucario said as he kicked one in the face.
"Then what do we do?" Billy, a boy in a kind of chicken suit, asked.
"We run I guess." a black bear with tan and white specks on it, replied.
"You must be kidding." Jenifer stated. She then jumped in the air and drop kicked two of the creatures.
"Beating these things is a bit TOO simple if you ask me." Marth said as he slashed the head off of one.
"Are you implying they are mince meat on purpose?" Vroom-Vroom, a toy dump truck half the size of a human and had teeth, spikes on the front and the sides of his wheels, and an automated turret, asked.
"Possibly." a girl wearing light green with black hair that went over her eyes, Toph, stated. Suddenly the creatures grew a lot bigger and their limbs grew a lot longer.
"Cheese it!" Bender exclaimed and Toph opened up a large crevice in the nearby cliff for her group to run in.
"Lets go!" she exclaimed. The monsters wouldn't make it easy as they blocked the way. Jenifer scoffed and held out her palms. They suddenly tuned into a dragon head which fired off a black beam that knocked one of the beasts into the cliffside.
"So no matter how big they are, they are still pathetic!" Vroom-Vroom exclaimed and shot blinking silver projectiles which exploded on impact into another beast which fell to the ground. The vehicle was about to be proven wrong as the 3 monsters fused together into an even bigger version of themselves, a bit taller than Groudon.
"Uhh..." was all Marth could say.
"Ah I bet they are still pushov-" Bender was cut off by being smacked away by the creature.
"Doesn't matter how big you are, we will still kick your sorry ass." Toph said and bombarded the creature with large boulders, but it didn't even scratch it.
"Is this thing for real?" Ayame exclaimed.
"Time to cut you down to size." Billy said and pulled out an orange egg with pink spots that hatched into a blue mouse. He threw the rodent at the monster, shrinking it to the size of said animal.
"I can finish this one." the bear said, jumped at the miniature creature, and ate it.
"Let's just go inside before any other weird things show up." Ayame said and her group walked through the split cliff. They soon reached what looked like a large den.
"Well there is nothing here, nice going fools." Vroom-Vroom said.
"You're wrong, there is something here. I can feel it and it's huge." Toph replied.
"Brace yourselves." Marth warned as the area started to rumble.
"Ohhhh crap." Bender said as the shaking increased.
"Its here, I can smell it." the bear said and something, or someone, burst out of the ground.
"Well look what we have here; dinner has come to ME for a change." Manda said.
"Get ready for your mouse trap." Marth whispered to Billy.
"Snakes eat mice moron." Vroom-Vroom stated.
"Mice? Ha! Those things are mince meat! I require much larger food, and humans are quite tasty." Manda said.
"Well there sure are a lot of them, enjoy." Bender said as he slowly stepped back.
"Shut up." Jenifer said and blasted Manda with Dragon Cannon. All this did was push Mandas neck back a little though.
"I'm a lot stronger than the last time you fought me!" he said.
"But we never fought you..." Marth said with a bored expression.
"Enough talking. Let's beat this snake down!" Ayame exclaimed and in a flash of light she had pink robes and hair, a flower on her forehead, and a giant shuriken on her back.
"What do you say we fight in a place more open shall we?" the snake said.
"Fat chance!" Billy exclaimed.
"You don't have a choice in this, brat!" Manda shouted and dove underground at an incredible speed.
"Quick! Get outside!" Ayame shouted and her group ran out of the crevice
"He will most likely ambush us, so get ready." Marth warned.
"There!" Toph shouted and pointed at a seemingly empty area. Something burst out of the ground and the instant it did, it was bombarded with giant shurikens, waves of ice, and silver explosives. It was revealed that what they hit was not Manda, but another snake. One that was green and covered in spikes.
"What the hell is that?" Bender exclaimed.
"GAH! Damnit! I KNEW having that thing eat us was a horrible idea from the start!" Vampire Lord exclaimed, his group having crashed into the cliffside due to the attack.
"Look, how was I supposed to know we would be ambushed?" Dylan shouted back as Buzzsaw Serpent disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"You weren't. I was only worried about being swallowed." Sasori said.
"Buzzsaw Serpent wouldn't do that!"
"Well that still was a stupid idea!" Vampire Lord shouted.
"And I suppose you had a better way of getting around?"
"Yeah, it's called 'walking'!"
"In a world like this, we don't have the time to do that. We need to find out what's causing this as fast as possible, and while the snake was a risky idea, it was a fast one." Ritsuka explained.
"Siding with him huh?" Vampire Lord said with a scowl.
"Aren't you two friends?" Celebi asked.
"Must be one of those love/hate relationships." Sheelah guessed.
"It's just another group, nice going guys..." Billy said.
"Like you would have known that you little twerp." Vroom-Vroom commented.
"The question is though, if that was the wrong snake...then where is-" Lucario was cut off by Manda busting out of the ground below them. His mouth was wide open and it snapped shut, swallowing Toph, Marth, Bender, and Billy.
"Crud! There goes nearly half of our group!" the bear exclaimed.
"Damnit, its Manda." Dylan said sternly.
"Looks like they require our assistance, lets go." Celebi said and his group ran toward the giant snake.
"We aren't gonna die here!" Marth exclaimed and slashed at the snakes throat with his sword.
"GAH! You'll pay for that!" Manda screamed.
"That's why you don't eat anyone with a weapon, dumbass."
"And now to split him open." Toph said and made the wound bigger with a spiked piece of earth and the 4 eaten heroes fell out and on to the ground, hard.
"Ow, that smarts." Billy said as he stood up.
"You all will regret this." Manda said and quickly shed his skin, healing the wound.
"That's a new trick." Ayame said.
"Then prepare for my finishing act!" Manda shouted and smacked the entire group away with a swipe of his tail.
"So uhh, how did YOU beat this guy?" Vampire Lord asked, shaking his head.
"I couldn't do it alone, in fact I wasn't even around when he was killed." Dylan replied.
"Can't your snake beat him?"
"You mean the one that was ambushed and thus severely injured and needs rest? Yeah, he probably could."
"Idiots!" Sasori shouted as he rose himself up high using his scorpion tail.
"Heh, this is a bit too easy." Manda said and dove at the gang.
"No!" Billy exclaimed and pulled out an egg that had clocks on it which hatched into a stopwatch. He quickly pressed the button on it and Manda froze.
"You sure are useful kid." the bear said.
"We have to attack him while we have the chance, that stopwatch doesn't last forever!"
"Fine by us." Sasori said and flew at the frozen snake using his blade-wings. He lifted himself up using his scorpion tail again and pointed his fingers downward. Suddenly hundreds of red ghost-like creatures came crashing down from the sky upon Manda at an impressive speed.
"Well the redhead shouldn't have all the fun." Toph said and large spikes of earth rose out of the ground and embedded themselves in the snake.
"Hya!" Marth said and ran at Manda with his sword and slashed at him, but his blade could not pierce his scales. Jenifer scowled and a yellow jetpack suddenly appeared on her back. She flew up high and some kind of cannon rose up from it that fired an impressive white laser beam. Despite her power though, this did no visible damage.
"Oh tough luck Little Miss Stoic" Toph taunted.
"Tough luck indeed." Manda said as time ran out and smacked Marth aside with his head.
"This is hopeless; we need something large if we want to beat him." Ritsuka explained.
"Despite our number, I don't think we have any way to bring up something large." Sheelah said.
"Well if we weren't attacked, then we wouldn't be in this mess." Sasori snarked.
"Hey, bite my shiny metal ass!" Bender exclaimed.
"Yeah, how were we supposed to know?" Ayame shouted. Manda hissed and swept his tail at the gang again, knocking them into the cliffside.
"Hey, I think we can make this work." Billy said.
"How?" Celebi asked.
"First summon your snake again."
"You heard him." Vampire Lord said with a smirk and slashed Dylans arms up again.
"Damnit...Summoning Jutsu." he said and Buzzsaw Serpent appeared, injured still.
"Well this doesn't do us any good." the bear said.
"Hold on." Billy said and pulled out a red egg with pink spots that hatched into a white butterfly. The insect flew over to the green serpent and when it made contact, healed its injuries.
"Finally a challenge." Manda said and he and Buzzsaw Serpent dove at each other.
"So do we just stand back and watch the show? Or in my case..." Toph asked and then trailed off.
"No, we can't just stand here and be useless. We have to help any way we can." Dylan said.
"Like what, genius? We can't hurt that thing." Vroom-Vroom stated,
"Well...I just don't like sitting back and watch someone risk their life."
"It's just like the other snake, just stand back and he can do all the work for us." Bender said. Buzzsaw serpent coiled around Manda, stabbing him with its spikes.
"Gah! Take this!" Manda exclaimed and slammed the spikes on his head into one of the serpents eyes.
"No!" Dylan shouted as his summon roared in pain.
"Heh." Manda hissed and both snakes dove underground.
"Alright, I don't think Buzzsaw Serpent can win this."
"Then what do you have in mind? Something bigger?" Billy asked.
"Yes and this one could take Manda out with ease."
"Does it cost more blood?" Vampire Lord asked.
"No...it costs a few years of my lifespan."
"What? Are you insane?"
"I agree, there has to be another way." Sasori stated.
"Just let him, why should you care?" Jenifer said and scoffed.
"Because we have something called 'emotions'." Toph sneered.
"Alright...here I g-" Dylan was cut off by Manda rising out of the ground to strike at them once more, but was knocked back by Buzzsaw Serpent slamming into him from below.
"Hold on, I have a plan." Ayame said.
"How come they have all the plans?" Celebi asked.
"Don't degrade us." Sasori said.
"First you can desummon your snake." Ayame said and Dylan did so.
"Haha, you all must WANT to die." Manda said as he slithered around the group.
"Not at all! TAKE THIS!" Ayame yelled and Manda was bombarded by gigantic shurikens that sliced him from every angle.
"Now everyone attack him and quickly!" she commanded. Ritsuka used Rupture, Sasori shot poison needles out of his hands, Celebi used Leaf Storm, Vampire Lord shot lighting from his fingers, Lucario threw some Aura Spheres, Vroom-Vroom shot his sliver explosives, Marth shot icy projectiles, Toph flung forward large boulders, Jenifer shot bullets from her jetpack, and Billy threw a large black bomb with a crow insigma on it.
"AHHHHHGGGGHH!" Manda screamed as the attacks collided into him so quickly he had no time to shed.
"Its a shame we have no ranged attacks, isn't it?" Sheelah said.
"Nope." Bender replied and pulled out a bottle of beer from his chest compartment.
"Agreed." the bear stated. Manda was lying on the ground, bleeding and severely injured.
"You...fools. You will never survive this place...you will all...die...here." Manda said with his last breath.
"We-we won!" Billy exclaimed.
"And I didn't have to do a damn thing, nice job guys." Bender said.
"Don't celebrate just yet." Lucario said.
"He's right, there is something underground and it's huge." Toph added.
"We can't get a break here?" Vampire Lord exclaimed.
"No, not here." Ritsuka said. Suddenly the area filled with sand and sunk into a dome shape.
"What in the hell...?" Marth said and looked around.
"GAH!" Celebi exclaimed as what looked like a blue worm rose out of the middle of the dome.
"That's all? Just a sand worm?" the bear said.
"No, that's not the worm. That's its tongue." Toph warned and what looked like a tan venus-flytrap rose out of the ground.
(Vs. Molgera starts to play in the background.)
"Well at least it can't get any-" Vampire Lord stopped as the creature shot out of the ground at a high speed, revealing it to be serpentine and it began to fly around.
"That just isn't right..." Marth commented. Jenifer smirked and flew at the beast with impressive speed, but was swallowed whole.
"Hahaha!" Bender laughed.
"Did she WANT do die?" Sasori exclaimed.
"Who gives a fuck." Vroom-Vroom commented and Toph nodded in agreement.
"I bet she has a plan." Sheelah said and Molgera roared in pain and spat out Jenifer, who easily gained control.
"Attack the tongue." was all she said. Molgera dove down toward the group, its mouth wide open to swallow them, when Sasori shot out his scorpion tail and pierced the blue muscle.
"Bad idea." Dylan said and Sasori was pulled under the sand. Suddenly smaller snake-like serpents shot out of the ground and jumped toward the gang like dolphins.
"These guys don't look so tough.' Marth said and slashed one in half with his sword.
"Yeah." Billy said in agreement and hatched a light blue egg that had blue stripes on it. Out came a blue penguin and it jumped at the remaining 3 serpents, surrounding itself in a bubble, and splashed into them. This destroyed them all as Molgera flew out of the ground.
"Damnit, where's Sasori?" Dylan wondered.
"Don't worry, he is still alive." Lucario assured. There was a roar as a large clump of sand fell out of the serpents mouth and landed on the sand below.
"Damnit, damn, damn, damn! I HATE getting sand in my joints!" Sasori cursed as he staggered out of the pile.
"This thing is going to be a pain to beat." the bear said as Molgera dove into the sand another time.
"He won't be getting out this time." Toph said and hardened the entire area of sand. The ground rumbled and Molgera managed to burst its head through the sand.
"So much for that plan eh?" Vampire Lord said with a bored expression. Then Molgera did something unexpected, it shot its tongue out at an impressive speed and wrapped it around its first target, the bear. Before anyone could react, the sand beast retracted it, snapped its jaws shut, and sunk back into the ground.
"Wh-what just happened?" Sasori wondered and blinked.
"He got the bear." Ayame answered.
"Well he is a bear, he can just claw and bite at that tongue, right?" Billy asked.
"I can barely detect him." Lucario said quietly.
"Then it looks like I will bring that monster back to us." Toph said and started shifting the ground under the sand.
"If your powers couldn't stop him from coming up, why would you think you could MAKE him come?" Sasori sneered.
"It's a better idea than yours." Toph retorted and Molgera rose up and began flying around again.
"We have to get it to open its mouth." Dylan said.
"If it's to save the bear, you're wasting your time. I'm sorry." Lucario said quietly.
"You mean he-" Billys question was answered by Lucario nodding his head sadly.
"This...this can't be ha- wait! Celebi! Can't you travel through time?" Dylan asked.
"Yes." the Pokemon answered.
"Then can you travel back in time to-"
"Don't you think if I could I would have reversed all of this? I can barely travel a couple seconds forward in this dimension, let alone backwards!"
"Then that's it then...he's gone..."
"You have to be prepared to make sacrifices. In a dimension like this any one of us is bound to die and you have to be willing to accept and deal with that, no matter who it is." Ritsuka said.
"So you are saying I shouldn't grieve over anyone's death? No matter if it's Vampire Lord or Jenifer?"
"That's exactly what I am saying."
"How could y-"
"STOP IT!" Vampire Lord exclaimed and gripped his friends shoulders with his claws.
"Wh-"
"Look, I would LOVE for Vampire Lady to come back and I really miss her but-"
"You never told me she died."
"Because I don't dwell on that fact alright? Like I said, I miss her deeply, but I got over it. If you never get past something like the death of someone you care about, your whole life is going to be fucked up!"
"Are you saying th-"
"Shut up! Whatever you were about to say I bet, I BET, you were going to put words in my mouth! Listen you need to stop being so sensitive about this! Get o-"
"I'm sorry! It's just that...that I...you see my friends...my friends mean a lot to me and I...god I hate getting mushy."
"I...I never knew that you-"
"Enough with this fluff bullshit! We have a monster to kill!" Vroom-Vroom exclaimed as Molgera flew toward them, mouth agape.
"What a fool." Jenifer said and knives stuck out of her knuckles. She flew at Molgera and sliced its tongue clear off with a left hook. The serpent roared in pain as it flew around, scattering blood all around and it suddenly froze and turned gray.
"What in the world?" Sasori wondered and Molgera shattered into pieces as all the sand disappeared.
(song ends)
"Man I hope that's the last thing we have to fight." Billy said.
"I could go for a few more rounds." Ayame said.
"I can go for beating up some more snakes as well." Toph said in agreement.
"Yep, and the more fights you guys get in the more I don't have to give a crap." Bender said.
"Stop being so hostile, we must find out just what is going on in this place." Ritsuka said.
"He is right, let's go." Lucario said and the group began walking away from the cliffside.
At a dark realm.
"Two villains have been killed." the girl in the crystal said.
"You are forgetting that I have claimed one of your pieces." the darkness replied.
"Stop calling them that!"
"However I have plans for Manda, Molgera was simply pathetic."
"You will never get away with this brother."
"What did you say?"
"We were both born from the same dimension of pure chaos, the ultimate beings of light and darkness."
"Your brother is no longer alive."
"No, you are wrong, he is alive. He just foolishly embraced the raw darkness within him, becoming a monster that just uses him as a suit."
"Hmhmhm, you really are quite a nuisance. Just be lucky I cannot kill you as I would in an instant."
"I am not afraid of you as you know I am just as strong as you are."
"If you are then why don't you break out of that crystal?"
"Because I..."
"You can't. I cause chaos and destruction; you can not make order and peace trapped in that."
"The Chosen One w-"
"Talk about The Chosen One all you want, but The Chosen One can not reach this place without assistance."
"I will bring The Chosen One here."
"Hmhmhm, and just how do you plan on doing that?"
"I will find a way. As you know my power matches yours and I can do THIS!" the girl exclaimed and tried to trap the darkness in a crystal, but she could not form one.
"HAHAHA. How pathetic, you are useless trapped in there."
"How about you let me out and fight fair? Or are you afraid to lose to me?"
"Heh, I am not a fool." the darkness said and the girl was blasted against the wall of the crystal with a gigantic white beam.
"AGHH!"
"Hmhmhm, you still feel pain like a mortal. You have not embraced the light within you."
"I would never give into something that would override my conscious, no matter if it could stop YOU."
"Then you are more pathetic than I thought."
"We will see who is pathetic." the girl said to herself. She noticed something about her crystal, there was a small crack in it after the attack, a crack so small it could not be seen even under a microscope. However this small crack was more than enough to let her power leak out and said power would help the heroes much more than the darkness, or anyone, could have expected.
At an old and abandoned town.
"Well I don't think we will find any clues here." Ayame said.
"Don't be so sure, let's look around." Lucario said.
"Alright, groups of 3 will let us cover more ground." Ritsuka said.
"Well two of us are going to have to go together then." Sheelah said.
"Follow me." Jenifer said lowly, pointed at Lucario, and took off in her jetpack while the Pokemon ran after her.
"Well I guess I will go with Vampire Lord and Sasori..." Dylan trailed off.
"You guess?" they exclaimed.
"I-I didn't mean it like that!"
"Marth, Bender, come with me." Ayame said.
"Nah, I'd rather go with the snarky dump truck and the kangaroo." Bender stated.
"Then I'll go with them." Toph said.
"That leaves Celebi, Billy, and I." Ritsuka said.
With Lucario and Jenifer.
"I suggest looking in here." Lucario said, pointing to a large skyscraper that had shattered glass and broken walls.
"Fine." the redhead replied and the duo walked in. As they climbed the stairs to the second floor, Lucario sensed something.
"There is something waiting for us on the roof." Lucario warned. Jenifer scoffed as they discovered this building was an office judging by the knocked over cubicle walls, the broken computers, and the pulled out drawers.
"Come here." Jenifer ordered and Lucario did so. She had found the only working computer on the floor and there was a document open. It wasn't very long and it never finished, but the contents gave them a little insight on the world.
What happened here? My entire world, my whole planet has been turned into a living hell! It's as if all of humanity has died out! I hear roars and screeches outside the office, but I don't dare to look. I know I am going to die soon and I know there can't be many people alive, but something spoke to me. It was a calm female voice...compared to the demonic male voice that spoke while the chaos was happening. She told me that something called The Darkness was responsible and the only way to stop him is to save her from him and find The Chosen One. She did not tell me who The Chosen One was and I had no way of asking her. She said sadly we are all doomed and that frightened me, but if The Darkness is defeated then everything will return to normal. The last thing she told me was th- Oh no, there is something coming, I can hear it and it's...! I am now fully aware that I am about to die and I hope if there is a slim chance this computer is not destroyed and that some other human finds it that it will help them before its too late!
"Well this is useful I suppose." Jenifer said.
"It is very useful. We now know that whoever is behind all of this has a good counterpart and that there is a way to stop this darkness. Also if we DO stop it, everything will go back to the way it was."
"Not 'we', none of us can do a damn thing."
"Yes, we need The Chosen One. However we have no leads on who he or she is."
"We need to free her too."
"Which will be a hard thing to do as I assume The Darkness is watching her; in fact I bet he is watching all of us as we speak."
At a dark realm.
"They have figured it out, they now know the key to beating you." the girl in the crystal said.
"Hmhmhm, I am impressed that they were able to find that information. However it is useless as they have no way of reaching here nor do they have any idea on who The Chosen One is." the darkness said.
"You don't give them enough credit. They have come this far and it is only a matter of time before they-"
"You did this didn't you?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You used your power to repair that machine!"
"That is quite an accusation you made there brother. How could I ever do that while I am trapped inside of this crystal?" she snarked.
"I would watch your tone, lest you want to go back to that realm again! Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but those two will not make it out of that building alive."
"That creature may be powerful, but they took down the likes of Scorch and Manda."
"As I said, I have a little upgrade for them as well as the newest addition to my army."
"I know you guys can do it." the girl said to herself.
OOO
Well I hope you people really enjoyed this chapter as the document I was writing it on got corrupted...TWICE!
