Chapter 4: When They Meet

"Is she awake?"

"Well, she is stirring alot. I don't know for sure."

"But, the king must fully know!"

"You're not a king in my book."

Kiara slowly opened her eyes to see the owners of the voices, and after she refocused her eyes.

She gasped in surprised.

For one thing, everywhere in sight was...bulgy? Like, more fuller if anything. The room she was in was some type of room, that was cold, dark, and stoned grey. There was no exit, but black metal bars was in the front of the room. Also, Kiara was surprised to see a huge fish, and a weird-looking squirrel staring at her.

The big fish had sapphire blue eyes, a sleek and firm body, but what caught Kiara's attention the most, was the yellow stripes on her forehead. That was just bizarre, same as the hole on her head.

The mutated squirrel, wore a leafy hat, his fur was different shades of grey, he had bright orange-yellow eyes, and unlike other squirrels, he didn't have buck teeth. Another phenomenon to Kiara was that the squirrel had a black and white striped tail.

Both of them were facing away from Kiara, arguing.

"W-who are you?" Kiara asked weakly.

The two creatures snapped towards her, surprised that she is now awake.

"We should be asking that question to you. But, if you must know, I'm Cari Morris." answered the tall fish.

The mutated squirrel stood straight, smiled, and puffed out his chest. "King Julien the 13th. Lord of the lemurs."

Kiara giggled at bit at the lemur named Julien. "I'm Kiara."

Julien smiled at her and turned to Cari with arms crossed. "See? She is to be being polite, unlike you, Miss Fishy-face."

"Call me that one more time! I swear I-" Cari started, until Kiara interrupted.

"Where are we?"

Cari blinked and fixed her vision on Kiara. "We're in Coney Island, Brooklyn. But, in a layer."

"Layer? What do you mean?" Kiaraslowly stood up, trying to regain her strength.

Julien huffed. "Blowy kidnapped us! If you are to be being confused!"

Cari rolled her eyes. "Correction, he kidnapped you. Me and this cub over here are here by accident. And, you didn't answer her question, imbecile."

"I am not an imbecile! You are to be the imbecile, Ms. Fishy-face!"

"I warned you! Now, I hav-"

"HEY!" yelled Kiara.

Julien and Cari snapped their attention to Kiara.

"Could someone PLEASE just answer my question?" Kiara pleaded. She already had enough of this at home.

"I can answer, young cub." came a voice in the front of the room.

Kiara, Cari, and Julien made their gazes to the source. There stood a tall fish, but on some type of vehicle that Kiara did not recongnize. This fish was the same species as Cari's, though his structure was more of a male built. But, it was the red orb on his left eye that made Kiara shivered. She noticed that behind that red sphere, was a scar, and the red orb was attached to a metal-blue crescent. But, the scar caught her curiousity greatly.

Cari growled at the male. "You! Because of you, I'm stuck here with this idiot!" she pointed towards Julien.

Julien crossed his arms and pouted. "Blowy, she's making fun of me! I demand you to make her stop that! For I am the king."

Kiara sighed. "Just PLEASE answer my question already. All this argueing is making my head hurt." she rubbed her head to indicate her point.

"To Cari, too bad so sad, get over it! To Julien, you can be the king of the universe and I won't EVER obey your commands." the male chuckled at the last statement. He then put his whole attention on Kiara. "As for your question, you are in the underground where my state-in-the-art technology is placed and created."

"But, why am I here? And, who are you?"

"I am Dr. Blowhole! And, you are here to full-fill my starvation of knowledge and advantage! For you are from a different dimension. You are perfect for experiments." he smiled.

Kiara shivered in fear. "E-experiments? D-different dimension? W-what?"

Blowhole rolled his eye. "You don't know much, do you?"

"Do too! I...just never seen this...kinda stuff before."

"Just answer the girl's question, Blowhole. Get it over with already." commented Cari, trying to sit up, for she was laying on the floor. She didn't have any legs.

Blowhole sighed. "Fine." he gathered his attention to Kiara. "A dimension, is further than this universe, and it can be different than the other."

"Is that why everything is so...buldgy?"

"Yes. So, I assume that your dimension was...?" Blowhole trailed, waiting for Kiara's answer.

Kiara thought it over. "...flat?"

Blowhole smirked and nodded, getting a clip-board out from the side of his segway, and wrote something down. He then looked back up to Kiara. "I see. Well, to answer the other questi-"

"Wait...I'm still a little confuse of the first answer."

"Are you talking about the underground thingy?" asked Julien, now besides Kiara.

Kiara shook her head. "No, the dimension one."

"It's a place further away from this world, and the limit after the stars, if you will." Blowhole answered with a sigh of annoyance.

"Oh...so it's beyond your stars?"

Blowhole nodded once. "Yes."

"Okay, I get it now. So, what's an experiment exactly?" Kiara nodded then asked.

"Basicly, an expermient is testing on the subject to prove your hypothesis and/or discovery."

Kiara gulped. "I'm going to be a test subject!"

"My, you catch up quickly." Blowhole sarcastically pointed out.

The made the lioness growl in response.

"This is making me bored! Just let me return to my home, and then you can do whatever you want to be doing." Juliencomplained with a pouting posture.

Cari sneered at Julien. How can he be so inconsiderate? This cub is soon to be an experiment to a mad scientist, and all this lemur wants is to go home and forget her? This boiled Cari's blood.

Kiara noticed the reaction of Cari and stayed silent, but was frightened of the upcoming events.

Blowhole thought this scene in front of him was hilarious. For one thing, Kiara is terrified of him. Another, is Julien thinking he had the option of returning home. The dolphin, or big fish as Kiara thinks, lets out his cackle.

Julienstarted to silently laugh with him, not knowing that the laughter of Blowhole is practically rejection of Julien's request. But, Julien ceased laughing when Cari slapped him in the head.

"Ow! No one is to be hurting the king!"

"You, idiot! He's rejecting your request ALSO laughing at Kiara's fear! And, all you can do is laugh!" Cari snapped.

Julien wasn't paying attention to the 'rejecting the request' part. But, the other statement he heard. "I am the king and I can do whatever I want, Ms. Fishy-Face!"

"THAT'S IT!" Cari was getting ready to tackle Julien, who was getting ready to fight back.

"SILENCE! ALL OF YOU!" Blowhole interrupted, causing to stop Cari's upcoming attack on Julien. Both dolphin and lemur snapped their attention to Blowhole. "This is just getting annoying now!"

Kiara slowly made her way behind Cari, more terrified at the mad scientist in front of her.

Blowhole breathed through his blowhole to cool himself down, and saw Kiara's movements. He chuckled at Kiara. Blowhole then turned his attention to the side. "Red 26, open the gate! But, make sure our prisoners and my pet won't escape!"

The trio in the cell heard a voice, but more of a nazzle and male. "Right away, sir!"

The cell started to part ways, but three cages fell from the ceiling. Trapping the three separately, and locking them in the process. Blowhole went his way over to Kiara, who shivered when the shadow of Blowhole loomed over her. He picked up the cage with ease, and went his way out of the cell.

"I hope you enjoy your stay!" Blowhole laughed to Julien and Cari.

The gate soon closed.

Leaving only Cari and Julien...

A/N: Now, some of you are probably thinking. Why was this so short? Well, to answer that, I thought it would be easier for everyone for short chapters and faster, than long chapters and slow timing. So, here it is.

Now, there are two questions in this chapter.

Question 1: What's the story of the events in-between chapters 1, 2, and 3.

Question 2: When did Blowhole's lobsters return?

These two questions would be answered in the next chapter. So, please keep on reading, my friends! :D
