Supernatural Furries
Chapter 29: Changing Channels
"Get this," said Fox. "Two bullies named Valmont and Dilaporta, who always took people to a flagpole and beat them up, were found hanging upside-down from a flagpole. It really freaked them out. There were candy bars at the site as well."
"Just desserts," said Renamon.
"Sweet tooth," said Krystal.
"Trickster," they both said.
Krystal and Renamon stopped at an old warehouse and entered.
They appeared in a dark area with fire and torches.
"Two votes Renamon, two votes Krystal," said Jeff. "It's a tie. We go onto a tiebreaker. It is a firemaking challenge. You two must build a fire with a flame high enough to burn through the rope. First one to burn through the rope wins. Loser is voted off."
"This is Survivor!" said Renamon. "What are we doing here?"
"It's another one of the Trickster's tricks!" said Krystal. "I guess we'll have to play the roles."
They both started making fire, but neither one could. After an hour, Jeff decided to go to matches. Another 45 minutes later, Renamon ran out of matches, and Krystal finally was able to burn through the rope.
The scene changed, and they were on Wheel of Fortune. Krystal spun the wheel. It landed on 500 dollars.
"S!" said Krystal.
"There are two S's," said the host. The board read:
S _ _ _ _ | _ _ _ _ S | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Renamon spun, but got Bankrupt. "D," she said.
"There are two D's," said the host.
S _ _ _ _ | _ _ _ _ S | D _ _ _ _ _ D _ _ _
"I'd like to buy a vowel," said Krystal after she spun the wheel again. "E!"
"There are three E's!"
S _ _ _ E | _ _ _ _ S | D _ _ _ _ E D _ _ E
Renamon said N, Krystal said B, Renamon said R, and Krystal said L.
S N _ _ E | _ _ L L S | D _ _ B L E D _ R E
"I'd like to solve the puzzle," said Renamon. "Snape kills Dumbledore!"
"Right!" said the host.
The scene dissolved and they were now on Jeopardy.
"Who was the demon that manipulated Krystal?" said Charlie.
"What is Ruby," said Renamon.
"Correct," said Charlie. "Krystal, pick a category."
"Azazel for 500," said Krystal.
"What was the name of the psychic who killed Krystal?" said Charlie.
"What is Daemon," said Krystal.
"Right!" said Charlie.
"Zachariah for 700," said Krystal.
"What kind of fruit did Zachariah have in his greenhouse?" said Charlie. "3… 2… 1… time's up. Renamon?"
"What is apples," said Renamon.
"Right!"
"Trickster for 500," said Renamon.
"Daily double!" said Charlie. "Now, I pass the role of host to Trebek." Trebek appeared.
"Can I address something!" said Renamon. "How come we never see Charlie, but when Trebek is on Jeopardy we see him? Did they change the rules?"
"How did Dr. Forrester die?" said Trebek.
"He was smothered with a pillow," said Renamon.
"I meant in this universe," said Trebek. "Krystal?"
"He was killed by a giant alligator," said Krystal.
"Right!"
"Lilith for 200," said Krystal.
"What does Lilith eat?" said Trebek.
A chill ran down Krystal's spine. The fur on her tail stood on end. "Babies," she said.
"Right!" said Trebek. "Krystal wins!" He took the form of the Trickster. "Why not do two more gameshows?" He snapped his finger before Krystal and Renamon could attack.
One half of the room was Who Wants to Be A Millionaire. The other half was Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader. Regis walked up to Krystal while Jeff walked up to Renamon, and each took them to the area.
"Which of the following most accurately describes Emperor Andross?" said Regis. "A.) Queen of England. B.) Santa Claus. C.) Easter Bunny. D.) Monkey's Uncle.
"Monkey's Uncle," said Krystal.
"You got 1,000 dollars!" said Regis.
"1st grade spelling," said Renamon.
"How many consonants are in the following word: Vowel?"
Renamon knew "Vowel" wasn't spelled V O U L. "Three," said Renamon.
"Correct," said Jeff.
"Which of the following talks?" said Regis. "A.) Freddy Krueger. B.) Jason Voorhees. C.) Michael Myers. D.) Leatherface."
"Freddy," said Krystal.
"Correct," said Regis.
Krystal suddenly stabbed him with a stake. His form turned into that of the Trickster, fell, lay still, and vanished.
Jeff took the form of the Trickster. "Wrong one," he said.
"I know," said Krystal. Renamon stabbed him with the stake and he fell to the ground and lay still.
Krystal and Renamon reappeared in the warehouse.
"Now my death is finally avenged," said Renamon.
They walked outside, but walked right into a world of Spongebob. Both vixens jumped as Spongebob started talking in his annoying yet funny high-pitched voice and Patrick began doing stupid things.
Castiel appeared. "Listen," said Castiel. "He's a lot more powerful than other Tricksters. He's…"
But he vanished as the Trickster appeared. "I'm back!" he said.
They appeared in a Mucha Lucha universe.
"This has to end!" said Renamon. "I'm going to have nightmares!"
"I think I might know what we're dealing with," said Krystal.
"What?" said Renamon.
Moments later, the Trickster showed up again.
"Why didn't the stake kill you?" said Renamon.
"I am the Trickster!" said the Trickster.
"Maybe not," said Renamon. She threw a match at the ground near the Trickster's feet, setting a ring of holy oil around him on fire. They instantly reappeared in the warehouse. Castiel also reappeared as well. "Maybe you've always been an angel," said Renamon.
"Ya got me," said the Trickster. "They call me Gabriel, the archangel."
"Whose side are you on?" said Krystal. "Michael or Lucifer?"
"I'm on no one's side!" said Gabriel the Trickster. "I want it to end! That's why you two have to take the roles that destiny has set you! Once Michael kills Lucifer, it will all be over and they won't have to fight anymore!"
"Screw destiny," said Renamon. "We'll kill the devil and we'll even kill Michael if we have to. But we won't leave you here cause we don't screw with people like you do."
Renamon pressed a button and the sprinklers turned on, putting out the ring of holy oil as Krystal and Renamon got into the car and drove away.
Krystal's cell phone rang again. Krystal picked it up.
"Krystal!" came Chuck's voice. "I forgot to tell you something important. When Slagar took the Colt, he didn't give it to Lilith. He gave it to her right hand man, Crowley. He's the king of crossroads demons."
