Mallory: I know all of you out there are probably ready to come at me with pitchforks and torches for not updating, but I have a very valid excuse.
Soren: I hate to break it to you but you've had plenty of time to write, you're just exceedingly lazy.
Mallory: Shut your face! I...ughh...okay you're a little bit right.
Soren: And you're surprised? I laugh at you're obvious lack of intelligence. Haha. I do not regret in the least to inform you that I am always right.
Mallory: What about that time you-
Soren: GAH! How dare you bring that up? I...uhh...that wasn't even me! It was my evil cousin-I mean my...uhh evil twin clone robot? Yea that sounds right!
Mallory: *gasp* you're right! We've got to capture them before they do any more damage!
Soren: Even while she does that, she disclaims all rights and privilages associated with The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl

The Screams

"Ughhh." Sharkboy let out a groan as his eyes fluttered open. He tried to think about what happened but he couldn't remember the whole thing. Pictures were coming back to him slowly and he closed his eyes and concentrated on them. He remembered Metamorpheo, making it out of the cave before it collapsed, the dart, and his dream. Soon he pieced it all back together and remembered.

He opened his eyes and tried to gain his bearings. The first thing he noticed was that his arms were chained above his head, and he tried tugging on the chains t no avail, they remained locked tight. He soon gave up on his arms and started looking around.

He din't recognize the damp stone walls or the large wooden door, but he did recognize a lone figure slumped to against a wall.

"Max!" He whisper-yelled. "Max are youawake?"

"Ah." Sharkboy jumped at the voice as the faceless form of Metamorpheo emerged form the shadows."I see you're awake." Metamorpheo grinned. "I regret to inform you that you're little dream boy is down for the count. He was easy enough to take down as was you're precious little flame girl."

Sharkboy growled at the faceless man while he struggled at his chains.

"Tsk. Tsk. You shouldn't struggle so. You'll rub your wrists to the bone." He gave a small laugh and continued. "You, dear boy, to put it simply, baffle me. I gave you enough tranquilizer to knock out a Tyrannosaurus and yet you wake up in mere hours." He walked a little closer to Sharkboy. "I'd expect your girlfriend, with he high body temperature, to burn it off quickly, but why doesn't it keep you down?"

"Where's Lavagirl?" Sharkboy snarled.

"You're girlfriend, as I expected, did burn off the sleep syrum quickly; even more quickly than you. She's awaiting me in the interrigation room as we speak." Metamorpheo leaned in close next to Sharkboy's ear and whispered "She and I are about to have some fun." With that he strode out of the room with a slam of the large door.

Sharkboy started struggling with renewed vigor. His chains were clashing against each other loudly and blood started seeping out of the edges of the manacles. He took no heed of this and kept on. He yanked and tore at the restrtaints until he slumped over in exhaustion.

He scrunched his eyes up and tried to think of a way out, but they shot back open when he heard the most chilling sound that he had ever heard.

The screams echoed through the dank room and Sharkboy wished he could cover his ears with his hands.

As the screams continued on, Sharkboy could feel one of his frenzies coming on. He ran his tongue over his second layer of razor sharp teeth and tried to keep his rage controlled. He knew if he were to have a frenzie now he would injure himself.

He closed his eyes again and tried to think of anything he could to keep his mind off of the terrifying screams, but his thoughts kept returning to Lavagirl. Whatever they were doing to her to make her make those chilling sounds, they would pay.

Eventually the screams stopped, Sharkboy didn't know how long they lasted-it felt like hours-but they died down slowly. He felt his teeth return to normal, but he still felt the rage running through his veins.

He started as the wooden door opened. This time standing in the doorway wasn't The overbearing form of Metamorpheo, but the petite frame of a woman. As she stepped into the dim lights of the room, Sharkboy gasped. There stood Lavagirl, with scrapes and cuts and newly forming bruises covering her skin. The front of her suit was torn, and showed her stomach, covered in blood. She limped toward Sharkboy and stood shakily next to him, supporting herself on the wall. She let out a small whimper of pain before sayin in a soft voice, "Sharky, it hurts."

Before Sharkboy could reply, her legs gave out and she collapsed on the ground.

"LG?" Sharkboy said, "Lavagirl can you hear me? Wake up please. It's probably not good for you to sleep."

"I'm not sleeping, I just can't stand up." She said as another whimper escaped her lips.

"Just keep talking so I know you're awake okay." He said. "I don't want to lose you."

Just at that moments Lavagirl started laughing as she rose from the floor slowly. By the time she stood fully erect again she was no longer in the shape of Lavagirl, but of Moetamorpheo. "You are so easy to fool. Just a little change and a little doe eyes and you are done for." He went back to the door and opened it. A figure stepped in and dropped a limp, bloody Lavagirl onto the ground before closing the door back.

Mallory: There you have it!
Soren: You've now read the worst chapter yet!
