Ruby Gloom

Mighty Mount Miserable

The landscape turned from scenic to a desolate wasteland of volcanic rock.

There was not one single sign of plant life.

As they continued to climb,the amount of oxygen decreased and they were slowly running out of energy .

The cold wind sent shivers down their spines.

Even the tiniest step seemed to be excruciating.

They felt like they were walking on Bat was ready to faint from fatigue."There's something missing here..."Misery said before getting struck by lightning,"...I found it!"

"And I think we are..."Skull Boy didn't get to finish his sentence when Scaredy Bat suddenly gained a burst of energy,jumped on top of Skull Boy's head and covered his eyes."Please don't take me,Yeti!Take Iris instead,she would LOVE to explore your stomach!"."Great idea Scaredy!You really know me!"Iris said as she whipped out her matchbox and struck a match."I was about to say that we nearly reached the summit!"Skull Boy exclaimed."Really?Oh...oh!"the world was spinning around

He had used his last ounce of energy for panicking and he tumbled over the ground and rolled over and over."Scaredy Bat,if you want to,we can go back!"Ruby said,

"You look very ill!There's always next year when Frank and Len 'redecorate' the school again"."Oh well,at least we can have some cake back home!"Misery tried to be optimistic but she wasn't that good at it unlike Ruby."So we won't get to see a Yeti or Flaffy?"Iris asked."Nope,besides...the Yeti is in the Himalayas,Iris!"Peter argued.

Scaredy was about to agree when a sudden thought hit him

And no,he was not really hit ."We've come this far...and if Ruby was in my shoes even though I am not wearing any...she would move forward...!""No...I...can...continue!I...can...continue!"Scaredy slowly said

...

"I CAN'T CONTINUE!I CAN'T CONTINUE!"Scaredy cried out in his sleep as they sat on the airplane Skull Boy made."Scaredy..."Ruby began."I really am sorry,Ruby!But I can't take it!"Scaredy was still asleep."Scaredy..."."But we can eat cake like Misery said!"."Here,let me try.I'm always good at waking people up!Even after breaking my right arm after bungee jumping from Mount Miserable!"Iris offered while raising her broken arm,"OW!"."Never mind,he needs to rest!"Ruby said as she lightly placed a certificate on the sleeping Scaredy that screamed the words,"Congratulations for being the first bat to climb to the top of Mount Miserable!""Great job Scaredy!"she congratulated Scaredy but he was too tired.
