Sorry if this chapter took a long time to get posted. Not only did i have issues editing it, I thought I uploaded it for the past few days. I was wrong. I edited this chapter for a looong time, and it still could be better, but it's good enough I hope. (This shows how confident I can be o.O)
"California Adventure???" Martin asked, "What's that?!?!"
"Some other amusement park," Rose answered.
"Let's go there! That might hold the key to our escape!" Matthias said.
"Where is it?" Sela asked.
"Lo vi todo desde aquí," Sunflash said.
"He saw it across from Disneyland!" Mangiz said excitedly.
"NOT SO FAST!" The writer yelled, "This is a story about you guys in DISNEYLAND!!!"
"WE WANNA GET OUT OF HERE!" Mattimeo shrieked.
"What about Chickenhound?" Nightshade asked.
"What about him?" Sela grunted.
"It's sad when a mother cares less about their son then an aunt," Mattimeo said.
"No one asked you!" Sela glared at the mouse.
"Whatever. If Chickenhound dies, then only one more of us will die," Tsarmina said.
Nightshade glared at the wildcat.
"But Groddil should meet his nephew!" She said.
"I have no idea why you're convinced that he's your younger brother! None of us are in the same books!" Sela growled.
"My younger brother? Don't you mean our younger brother?" Nightshade looked at her curiously.
Sela grumbled and said nothing else, glaring at the other vixen.
"There's a lot of glaring in this chapter," Cornflower said.
Sela and Nightshade glared at her.
"Stop saying glare! If you say a word too much, it starts to sound strange!" Breeze cried out.
Everybeast glared at her.
Meanwhile, Chickenhound was scrambling to get a hold on the rock. He didn't realize that the lava was fake (at least I hope it is). What it's made of, I have no idea so let's just skip over that detail. Maybe it's just an illusion or something... anyway, Chickenhound/Slagar thought it was real. Finally he managed to get a grip on one rock jutting out, his feet dangling above the lava.
"Now what, Slagar?" Chickenhound asked. He put the mask on.
"Climb, I guess," Slagar answered. The mask came off.
"I suppose," Chickenhound said, "But I'm no good at climbing."
"Don't worry," Slagar said, "I'll carry you."
He began to slowly climb up the steep cliff. When he almost reached the top, his paw slipped and he went tumbling down. He managed to grab onto a chain that happened to by dangling there, and pulled himself back onto the rocky side. He glanced at the chain. It was made out of some sort of gold... it was...... SHINY!!!!! He pulled it out of the rock and began to climb again, clutching it. He liked shiny things. This climbing took awhile, so let's skip ahead to where he actually got up to the top (a miracle, isn't it?) and stood panting. He glanced around, thinking he heard something. There was a scuffling sound, then something popped out at him.
"AHHHHHHH!" Slagar shrieked, and ran down the tunnel into a chamber. He turned around to see one of the shadow things moving towards him. He shrieked again and curled up into a ball, trying to protect himself like a hedgehog would. Of course, this is a fox we're talking about, not a hedgehog, as I hope most readers realized by now.
"Okay, fine, we'll look for Chickenhound," Sela finally gave in to Nightshade, "But only for a little while."
"Does anyone know where he went?" Nightshade asked.
"He mentioned something about finding 'Slagar'," Veil said.
"So he went to Indiana Jones! That's far away... it would be faster if someone flew there," Nightshade said, glancing at Ironbeak and Korvus Skurr, who were mad at the writer for not mentioning them for awhile.
"Skarlath and Stryk can also fly!" Korvus said, not in the mood for this.
"Yeah, it's always us, isn't it?" Ironbeak added.
"That's because you two don't like each other. When you don't like each other, you're always put together. I thought we made this clear," the writer informed them.
"All of you can go," Nightshade said.
"I do not want to go back to Indian John!" Ironbeak protested.
"It's Indian Jonas!" Korvus 'corrected' him.
"Both of you shut up!" Stryk yelled, "I'm tired of all this arguing!"
"I am not helping Nightshade," Skarlath grunted, "I don't like aiding the one who killed me."
"I don't like helping the one who killed me," Nightshade mocked him in a whiny voice.
"No me hagas matarte ... otra vez," Sunflash said.
"What?"
"He said 'Don't make me kill you again'," Mangiz traslated.
"That is getting really annoying," Nightshade growled, "The whole 'I forgot how to speak English' thing."
Suddenly, Sunflash remembered how to speak English because the writer is too lazy to keep translating Spanish and English and vice versa.
"EULALIAAAA!"
He grabbed a random battleaxe and charged toward the vixen. She rolled out of the way, then countered with a sword she randomly found. Neither was able to lay a hit on the other.
"Hey, Nightshade's battling with the guy who killed her..." Swartt said, "Maybe we should do the same."
"This is gonna be a big fight," the writer chuckled.
Let's see... it happened as follows. Swartt rushed to Sunflash and began to help Nightshade, but Skarlath also swooped down and began to slash at the vixen with his talons. Veil starting punching his father. Cluny turned around and began to attack Matthias, but was too big and dumb to actually put up a good fight. Sela also tackled the huge rat, because it was his horde who killed her and she decided to settle for the leader because the horde wasn't there. Badrang and Tsarmina ganged up on Martin, who was easily handling them both, especially with Rose punching Badrang. Ironbeak and Stryk locked talons in the air and were fighting with their beaks. Mangiz tried pecking Constance, but she just kept smacking him away. Zaran was swinging her sword at Korvus, who was trying to get her with his beak. Frang the doomwyte also tried to attack her, because he died in the rock avalanche she started. Vugri flew around overhead, looking for Baliss because that was who killed him. The other three doomwytes were yelling at the author, because Purz was shot by the Painted Ones who were not there, Tarul was crushed by the two bells, and Murig was killed by Bosie, who wasn't there. If anyone else is present who died within a book and their enemy is here then... let's just say they're attacking them. Cornflower, Rollo, Breeze, Dotti, Basil, Jodd, Bluefen, Warthorn, Bryony, the doomwytes who had unique death causes, the Doom Bunny, and all the rest backed away from the chaos.
Matthias stuggled under the weight of Cluny, because Cluny doesn't exercise enough and ate a few too many potato chips over the summer. Sela didn't exactly help, she just watched as the mouse warrior attempted to push off Cluny. Then he realized that Cluny fell asleep on him.
Rose fell on the ground after being kicked off by Badrang. She began to bite his leg. He yowled in pain, clutching his footpaw. He would have lost that footpaw to Martin's sword if he hadn't fallen over... onto Rose. Then Clogg, upset he wasn't mentioned, attacked Badrang, just because. Wow... Badrang is being attacked by three people at once and he's on the ground. That's not good. Martin would have finished the stoat off it Tsarmina didn't come up from behind and knock him down.
Ironbeak and Stryk flew rapidly through the air, and both crashed into Sunflash, who turned in surprise and hit them with his mace. I don't care if he was supposedly using an axe before. Now it's his mace. See, I can do these kind of things because I'm the writer.
"Let's run," Cornflower whispered to Breeze.
The group of the 'peaceful creatures who never killed anyone or never were killed by someone else' all rushed away from the madness. Just then, they heard someone yelling in another direction.
"What's that?!" Bryony asked, "The fight's back there!"
"I don't know, I don't have supervision," Bluefen grunted.
The three doomwytes who weren't involved in the fight glanced around at each other.
"I'll look," Purz offered.
"Okay," Tarul said.
"Um... isn't someone supposed to say 'No, don't do it, I'll go instead'?"
I think I read someone else say that in a different fanfiction so sorry if I just stole that... hehe.
"Nope," Murig answered.
Purz sighed and flew up. He saw two shadow things running after some mouse. He groaned and flew back down.
"Yeah, just those annoying shadows again," he said.
Just then. Gonff crashed into Basil.
"It only took six chapters, but I made it back," Gonff said.
"Lovely. Who are your friends here?" Basil said, staring at the two shadow things.
Gonff turned around. "STALKERS! I TOLD YOU TO STOP FOLLOWING ME!"
Basil and Jodd sprinted up and got both shadow things in a headlock.
"Right, let's finally see what they are," Jodd said, ready to pull the annoying mask off.
Insert commercial break here.
Random dude: Hi... uh... buy this phone... cause... I told you to... and... it's shiny and stuff..
Ronald McDonald: Buy my burgers or I'll haunt you for the rest of your life! Bwhahahahahahaha!
Cow who happened to be walking by: Got Milk?
And now back to the feature presentation.
"Hey, what are you doing in my barbie cavern? I come here to play with my- um... I mean... I come here to... uh... look into my crystal ball!" The high pitched and childish voice that Rollo had heard before sounded out.
Slagar looked up out from his ball. He saw a shadow thing standing at the entrance to the cavern.
"Please don't kill us!" He begged.
"Us?" The shadow thing leader stared.
"I'm Slagar," Slagar introduced himself, then pulled off the mask, "And I'm Chickenhound."
"Is something wrong with you, kid?" The shadow thing backed away.
"I'm perfectly sane," Chickenhound growled, "But Slagar's a little out there. Only a little, though. Now, Cluny, if you saw him, oh man. Did you know his horde killed me?"
"They killed you?" The shadow thing was now backed up against the wall, "Um, but you're here now."
"I don't understand it either," Chickenhound said. He put on the mask. "If you want to know, ask the writer."
"I don't know either," the writer confessed.
"...right, um... so are you with that huge group of animals?" The shadow thing said.
"Yeah... oh, we probably should be getting back to them," Chickenhound said, removing the mask, "My mom might get worried."
The writer almost snorted at the thought of Sela being worried for Chickenhound.
"Not so fast," the shadow thing said, blocking the exit, "So you're with that group, huh?"
The mask went on.
"YES THAT'S WHAT CHICKENHOUND SAID, WASN'T IT?!?!" Slagar shouted.
The shadow thing pulled the mask off him, now understanding a bit that this fox was more violent as 'Slagar'.
"Give Slagar back!" Chickenhound begged.
"Sure... if you lead me to that group," the shadow thing said, making up this plan as he went along.
"Sure, whatever," Chickenhound agreed, "If you give me Slagar back."
"After you lead me to them," the shadow thing said. He forgot why he wanted to get to them, but he decided it was better then sitting around playing with his barbies... as long as this plan didn't take too much time... Barbie was about to go to her beach house with Ken.
"Fine," Chickenhound grunted, and began walking towards the exit of the ride.
Meanwhile, the other shadow things were still in a headlock.
"Lemme go!" One screeched, "I have a pie in the oven!"
"Should we unmask them?" Basil asked.
"YES!" The rest of them cried.
"But what about this big ol' secret?" Jodd said, "It won't be a secret anymore."
"Just do it!" Cornflower shouted.
"But then the writer can't annoy the readers with the suspense!" Basil said.
"DO IT WILL YA!!!" Bluefen screamed.
"I don't want to!" Both hares complained.
The rest of them facepalmed. Just then, one of the shadow things tackled Basil down. Surprised, Jodd scrambled up the nearest tree (remember, he thinks he's a squirrel).
"OW!" Basil shrieked, "It got my ear!"
"I'm not an it!" The shadow thing screamed, "I'm a girl!"
Basil pushed her away. "Uh, sorry ma'am."
Then, suddenly, the two shadow things disappeared.
"Oh COME ON!" Bryony cried out.
"You weren't here this whole time!" Bluefen growled at her.
"Are you sure they're this way?" the leader of the shadow things puffed and Chickenhound led him in and out of places, twisting and snaked around passages and taking the longest way possible.
"Yes! Oh, I've always wanted to go around Disneyland with a friend!" Chickenhound said.
"I'm not your friend," the shadow thing grumbled.
"Oh, look! There they are!" Chickenhound pointed over a hill. The shadow thing ran over.
"Those are barrels," he said.
"Oh, whoops, I meant over there!" Chickenhound turned around and pointed in another direction. The shadow thing ran over there.
"Those are sacks of potatoes," he grumbled.
"Oh... well, let's keep looking."
"UGHHH! I can't stand this!" The shadow thing facepalmed so hard that he almost fell over backwards.
Just then they heard the chaos of the huge fight. They ran over to see the brawl going on. Chickenhound suddenly felt compelled to attack Cluny, but resisted.
"Gimme Slagar back!" Chickenhound said, grabbing the mask from him. He put it on, then felt very compelled to attack a well.
"That's right, you fell down a well, didn't you?" The writer murmured, half asleep.
The shadow thing stood, watching over the fight.
"EULALIAAA!" Sunflash cried out, almost chopping Swartt in half if it hadn't been for Veil tripping his father over. Nightshade jumped on top of Sunflash's back, but quickly fell off. Skarlath lifted her up in his talons, and she was dangling above the crowd. If it hadn't been for Stryk Redkite who happened to swoop down under her by accident, she probably would have been killed. Stryk preformed a barrel roll, which sent Nightshade tumbling on top of Tsarmina. The angry wildcat pushed her off with her claws. Martin took that chance to raise his sword above Tsarmina's head, but was pulled back by Badrang. After struggling away from the stoat, Martin pulled out a random water balloon and hurdled it at the water-hating cat. She yowled and fell over. A water balloon appeared in her paw. She threw it at Martin, but he ducked and it hit Rose. Suddenly, everyone had a supply of the magic water balloons. Their big battle turned into a water balloon fight.
"Guys, STOP!" Cornflower ran up to them, "We caught a shadow thing!"
They all stopped and ran over to where Cornflower indicated. But the shadow thing was gone.
"Did you see what it looked like?" Basil asked.
"No..." Breeze said.
They all sighed. Then they decided to continue to California Adventure. As they walked across the street, the shadow thing leader followed them.
As they walked inside, they say a group of teenagers.
"HI!" a random teenage girl ran up to the group. "I'm, like, Elisha Thinzone! Oh em gee! Are you the Redwall characters?! Like, no way! I'm a HUGE fan! Come meet my friends!"
She dragged each and every one of them to a group of other teenagers. Elisha then tackled Martin down.
"No way!" One girl said, "Is that ROSE? Oh Rose, I thought you were dead!"
She ran over and hugged her. "I'm Lauren Strawn. Please, never scare me like that again!" Then she burst into tears.
"Uhh..." Rose didn't know how to reply.
Another girl ran over to Korvus and Ironbeak and hugged them both. "I'm Lily South, I've always loved birds! OMG! I can't choose between you two!" Then she went over and hugged Mangiz. "You're the best."
One of the boys ran up to Tsarmina. "I like kitties," he said in a creepy voice, "I'm Hector Nios. Do you like kitties? I like kitties. We all like kitties."
The other boy stood in the back of the crowd. "Why are there talking mice? I have no idea what's going on."
"Lighten up, Rick Niner, these are awesome animals. So shut up!" Elisha shouted at him.
"We really got to be going," Martin said.
"SHUT UP!" Elisha shouted, "I always thought Matthias was a better warrior then you!"
"But you just creepily hugged me," Martin said.
"I CAN CHANGE MY MIND, CAN'T I?!?!?!?!?!?!" Elisha growled.
Matthias wore a smug expression until Martin punched in in the face.
"I like kitties," Hector continued, stroking Tsarmina's fur. She stared at him with wide eyes.
"Ewwwww it's Stryk! You killed Ironbeak!" Lily exclaimed. Stryk glared at her.
"I could kill you," the kite reminded her.
Rick still stared at his friends like they were crazy... which... they were.
"We really must be going," Rose said, trying to break free of Lauren's grip.
Then Lauren let go of Rose. "Is that CORNFLOWER?!?!" She ran over to her and hugged her.
"I... can't... breathe!" Cornflower gasped.
"I like kitties. Kitties are soft and furry. I like soft and furry kitties," Hector continued. Tsarmina didn't have enough feeling in her claws to scratch him.
Badrang was getting angry at Hector for some reason. He jumped to tackle him, but missed and tackled Tsarmina by accident.
"What are you doing?!?!" She hissed.
"Um... muscle spasm," Badrang said.
"Get off of me!" Tsarmina pushed him off.
"Like, Oh Em Gee! Guess what! I just realized that these are mice! We can put them in a hamster cage and take them home!" Elisha exclaimed. The group of animals backed away.
"I really don't know what's going on here," Rick grunted.
The fangirls (and one fanboy) chased after the animals as they ran through California Adventure. The birds flew up high, because they didn't want to take their chances and didn't feel like helping out their land-dwelling companions.
"Um, guys..." Purz said.
"What?" Tarul snapped. He was in a really bad mood.
"Uh... I see Asmodeus," Purz said, pointing with his wing.
Tarul took a look at where the other doomwyte pointed. "That's not Asmodeus!"
"It isn't? Oh, good."
"That's Baliss."
"Lovely."
"Hey, I also see Asmodeus!" Murig said.
"That's not Asmodeus either," Tarul said.
"Oh lord. There's three adders?"
"Yeah... that looks like Zassaliss," Tarul informed him.
"How'd you know?" Korvus asked, "You weren't in that book."
"I have my ways. And if there's Zassaliss, Sesstra and Harssacss are probably with him."
"Wonderful. That makes four adders," Vugri sighed.
"No," Tarul said, "I also see Asmodeus."
"Oh fantastic," Korvus groaned.
The birds watched the very large group of animals running. Then they watched Zassaliss, Sesstra, and Harssacss ambush them. They also witnessed the group running from the adders and the fangirls/boy. Which one is scarier? That is a tough choice.
I think that these amusement parks are overrun by adders. And what is the mysterious golden chain? All we know is that it's shiny.
Yes, I will reveal the shadow things in the next chapter. Maybe...
All of the names are inside jokes that my friend forced me to put in. I didn't want to, but she insisted. I promise the next chapter will be funnier.
