Hey guys! Sorry about the slow updates! I get my grades up, get access to a computer again, and Shkapow! … My grandfather of 81 gets Pneumonia, and almost dies... Try writing with that going on with out everything becoming a sad stuck. But he's home now! And I can start writing again! Yay ^_^ SO going on!
"What the GLUB WAS THAT?" Feferi screeched, pumpkin sludge sticking her hair to her face as she stood, getting in Aradia's face, fuming. Her face was bright purple as her hand twitched, now holding her trident. Aradia stared down at her, her face emotionless.
"Oh. Truly sorry. It must have been an accident."
"An accident? AN ACCIDENT! You threw it at my face!"
"I did no such thing."
"FISHPASTE!"
"What?"
"You're an ass! Why did you do that?"
"Do what, exactly? I don't know what you're talking about." Aradia stared down at her, not backing away as Feferi's face grew darker and darker shades of purple. She twitched here and there, her hand gripping her trident firmly. She took a deep breath, backing away a few inches. "Okay. I don't want to fight... I'll back down for now. But don't do fish kind of stuff again!"
"Do what?" Aradia couldn't help the small smile licking the edges of her mouth as she saw Feferi snap. The fish troll whipped around, wielding her trident, and thrusting it straight at Aradia's stomach. Aradia smirked, backstepping easily, the tip of the fork barely grazing her metal form. She quickly grasped the pole, yanking the trident past her, sending Feferi coming flying toward her. Aradia leaned inward, and with her free hand, thrust it into Feferi's stomach, feeling nothing as it broke a rib. Feferi doubled over Aradia's arm, coughing slightly as Aradia pushed her off her arm, sending her across the field, and crashing into a tree. Feferi's head snapped back as she made contact with the bark, but she barely had time to think as Aradia came charging toward her, twisting her arm inward again for a second strike. Feferi quickly grasped her trident, twisting it in her arms. Aradia struck, thrusting her arm forward just as Feferi swung her weapon across her front, bashing her arm away with much difficulty. Feferi kept spinning, using the other end of the trident to knock Aradia away from her. They sprawled in the grass, opposite of each other, snarling and pacing, completely ignoring Nepeta as she scurries away from them, leaping behind Equius, who was already finding solace behind a very large rock.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"Hold on a minute, you want me to Kill Aradia?" Vriska stared incredulously at Jade, her head tilted, but still unable to hide the smile creeping over her face.
"Yeah."
"Isn't she dead already?"
"Yeah."
"Then how am I supposed to kill her, exactly?"
"She has a dream self too, you know." Jade grinned down at her, touching her nose playfully. Vriska knocked her hand away, flipping her off as she glared. Jade only smiled back.
"Gog I hate you."
"Aww i love you too!"
"No. I seriously hate you."
"Okay! Hehe!" Jade smiled again, and Vriska gave up.
"Why do you want me to kill her anyway?"
"Does that matter?" Jade raised her eyebrows.
"Well... no I guess. I don't really care either." Vriska scrached her ear, yawning as she shifts into a more comfortable position. "Well I guess this sounds fun How am I supposed to do it?"
"Eh. I'd suggest controlling another derse dreamer. Just off her head. Simple as that, I guess."
"Can I torture her?"
"Uhh..." Jade looked to the side, the silence pointing out the awkwardness of the question. Vriska stared quietly for a few moments before attempting to pull out her puppy dog eyes.
"Oh please? please please please please please please please?" Her puppy dog eyes looked more like spider eyes, and Jade couldn't help but flinch slightly when she turned to look. She scratched her neck.
"Uhh..."
"I said please 8 times, you know."
"I know. Lemme think for a few moments... Uhh... Yeah I think you can!"
"YAY!"
"But under one condition!"
"awwwwwwww..."
"Just keep her where she is lying. Don't move her." Jade looked her straight in the eyes, unfaltering. Vriska looked back at her, her smile twisting into a frown.
"Oh."
"Promise me."
"I don't know. It's not really killing if-"
"PROMISE ME!" Jade yelled, closing in on Vriska's face. Vriska laughed slightly, backing away a few inches.
"Fine fine fine! I promise. But only because you're annoying me!" She sighed.
"Oh good!"
"When do you want me to kill her, exactally?"
"Right when I tell you to. No sooner, no later. Got it?"
"Yeah yeah whatever."
"Jesus FUCK! WHERE ARE THEY!" Karkat stormed from one room to the next, screaming each trolls names out, followed by countless profanities. As he storms from room to room, he begins to get more and more agitated, and finally storms into the control room of the cairrage. He stomps up to the control panel, and grabs the intercom system. "HEY FUCKASSES! WHERE ARE YOU!" His voice trails outward, in all directions, but is quickly swallowed up by the bountiful trees. He lets out an annoyed grunt, chucking the intercom hand piece across the room. It smashes against a wall, but does little to no other damage. He pivots quickly to storm out of the room and takes his first step, only to trip over a pumpkin, and go plummeting across the room, slamming straight into and snapping off the break. He stares at it for a few moments, his face going pale. The carriage begins to lurch forward slowly.
Now there is something you need to understand about Troll automobiles. They do not have "Gas" and "Break." They have "Break," and "Break." Depending on how hard you pull the break, depends on how slow you go. If you leave the break alone, you will slowly increase speed until mach 5. Thus, a broken break is a lot worse than it sounds.
And this can evidently be seen through Karkat's frantic scrambling to try and fit his sickle into the small wedge where the handle broke off, attempting with all his might to create a makeshift break, pulling and yanking, cursing up a storm.
The carriage only increased in speed ever so diligently, starting at a slow lurching pace, but quickly reaching a walking, then running, then sprinting pace. Within a few moments, he was having much difficulty staying near the break itself due to Inertia fighting against him. After a few more seconds of struggling, inertia finally won, sending him flying back into the opposite wall of the control room, knocking him unconscious. He fell to the floor, still plastered to the wall.
"Now?"
"No."
"How bout now?"
"No."
"NOW?"
"NO! Just wait! Geez, just rip off her legs or something!"
"But it's no fuuuuuuuun! She won't wake up! Can I just kill her?"
"NOT YET!"
"PLEEEEEEEEASE?"
"JEGUS! NO, OKAY? Do you want to die? If not, just keep waiting!"
"Fiiiiiiiine..."
"I do believe you are a most interesting troll, beside the off start."
"I make do." Rose smiled slightly at Kanaya, her book folded quaintly in her lap. Kanaya smiled back, unable to resist Rose's intellectual genius and impeccable fashion sense. She knew almost immediately she was swimming deep in red, but decided a comfortable conversation would be much more suitable for a in forest encounter. She and Rose had been talking about the lackluster fashion sense of other trolls, sharing their own fashion secrets, swapping book titles, and discussing their psycho analysis of their separate troll companions for quite a while, only being distracted here and there by Terezi's random epiphanies or "I found a new clue! LIIIICK!" Other than that, they seemed to be enjoying each others companies without hindrance.
Rose herself was also feeling slightly smitten with this new Green blooded troll she had just met. She believed her fashion matched her own level of pulchritude with ease, and her intelligence rivaled that of any troll she had met before. She had spent only a small amount of time with Kanaya, but had already decided she was a suitable troll to, as her troll friend says, "stick around with." She even was considering skipping around in the redroms a bit herself, and couldn't stop a slight smile as Kanaya sat slightly closer to her.
Prancing in the quadrants, they both believed, was a rather complicated thing when incorporating trolls of their intelligence level. Every possible Matesprit, Kismesis, Moirail, or Auspistice had to be carefully scrutinized for all pro's, con's, and sexual attraction. Thus, both girls scanned the other with much intrigue, Rose biting her lip slightly as she stared into Kanaya's eyes, keeping the conversation flowing, weaving the Alternian language to her own whim.
Kanaya found both the staring, and the speaking, rather sexy.
The possibility of them sitting any closer to each other quickly flew out the window as their hips conjoined, Rose offering Kanaya her book.
Kanaya obliged, taking the book from Rose's waiting hands, a small shiver erupting from where their fingers brushed together. They looked at each other, entrapped in each other's eyes, their faces slowly growing closer and closer together. Their lips were a hair width apart, and Kanaya longed so much to close that last millimeter of space.
She leaned forward.
"HEHE! HEY GUYS! LOOK AT THIS!" Terezi screeched, appearing right in front of them, holding out a blood covered flower. They pulled away, their faces glowing the respective colors of their blood. Terezi giggled louder, holding the flower out. "It's rather straaaange, is it not? This little flower! It's soooooo interesting, isn't it?" She inquired, a huge smile on her face, Rose's and Kanaya's faces reflecting off her red tinted glasses. The girls looked away, embarrassed. Terezi giggled some more. "Oh! Soooo sorry! I just HAAAD to show you this! Look look!" She held out the ordinary flower out to the girls again, snickering at her perfectly timed Cock Block.
Err... Bone Bulge block...
Err... What do troll females have? Terezi thought for a few moments, but passed it away as a fleeting thought. She was only 6 years old anyway. What would she know of this stuff? Maybe a few years later she'd get it. She sniffed back up to the two girls, scrunching her nose. "Hey! What's wrong? You smell different... like... Fear... oooohhh! Are you afraid of me?"
"You only wish you could evoke such a response from either of us. No. Turn around and look... err... smell for yourself." Kanaya spoke, her eyes staring at the large guest that had just joined their humble party. Terezi turned around. "...oh..."
"It seems I will have to take a rain check on our conversation. Some very rude Drones have decided to interrupt." Rose frowned, glaring at the Imperial Drone towering over them. Her frown quickly turned to a look of concern, though, as 4 more drones landed, two on each side of the first, each just as large, just as menacing. "That is... if we survive..."
"Kay how bout now?"
"NO!"
"AUGH!"
"Coincidences?" Tavros stared at Gamzee, utterly confused. Gamzee looked up at Tavros, smiling a slightly dopey smile.
"Yeah, bro. Like, every time they did something, they would somehow... oh how the motherfuck do I up and explain this shit? It's like... Their timing is perfect, ya know?"
"Uhh... No. I don't." Tavros sighed.
Gamzee copied his sigh. "Okay man. It's like they up and knew everything that was going on around them, and could somehow use it all to up and make weird shit happen at their command. Like, if one of them was up and getting their motherfucking ass handed to them on a steaming lusus platter, BAM! Somehow, a random troll would be there, as if by some weird ass coincidence, and the lusus would think that troll was more tasty. Or the troll would just up and kill the lusus cuz he thought it'd up and be fun or some shit like that."
"I.. uhh... I don't think I fully... uhh... understand."
"Well, it's like they can plan shit to happen at exactly the right time to save their lives, or the lives of the people they've grown a liking too."
"That's... uhh..."
"Just you wait, bro! You'll up and see! She'll up and do it someday. She might be doing it right now, for all I know."
"Now?"
"JEGUS! DON'T YOU HAVE ONE LICK OF PATIENCE?"
"NOOOOOOOOPE!"
"JUST WAIT!"
"!" Karakat screamed as he regained conciousness, realizing that the carriage was going faster than he had ever known possible. He screamed louder, his face growing red in terror.
Vriska's body flopped off the chair in front of her computer, and she went flying across the room, plastering herself to the wall.
"Now?"
"I'M GOING TO SHOOT YOU IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP AND JUST WAIT!"
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Sollux had joined Eridan and Nepeta behind the rock, but all three had to quickly flee to a different hiding spot when Feferi slammed her trident into it, splitting the boulder in two, just barely missing Aradia. Aradia returned fire, also just barely missing Feferi's head.
They sparred back and forth as the three bystanders fled to another hiding spot. Feferi and Aradia continued their battle, slowly moving further and further away from Eq, Nep, and Sol, the battle itself getting nowhere in its stalemate stasis.
"...N-"
"Speak, I shoot." Jade was now holding a gun to a very impatient Vriska's head. Vriska's smile at her attempts to annoy Jade dissipated as the cold metal touched her horn.
They stood, all three of them, elbow to elbow, staring down the now twelve Imperial Drones as they advanced on the trio.
"We seem to be in a slight predicament."
"Agreed."
"WE FIGHT!" Terezi shouted over Kanaya and Rose's rather quiet conversation, wielding her walking stick as she rushed forward, bashing one atop the head. It did little to no damage, but succeeded in evoking the withdrawal of Kanaya's lipstick, and Rose's knitting needles. They attacked in sucession, Kanaya easily chopping the arm off the drone Terezi had just walloped, Rose blasting bulbs of energy toward the drone's head. Terezi returned with another strike, jabbing her stick in the joints of the neck, and popping the head off the drone like a cap off a bottle of old fashion faygo. The drone, now headless, and missing one arm, fell to the ground, motionless. Terezi let out a victory whoop as Kanaya loped to the next drone, smearing lipstick all over it's face. It knocked her back, leaving the green marks on its red painted face as it advanced closer to Rose. Kanaya rejoined Rose's side, and Terezi was quick to follow, hurtling through the air after a drone knocked her off its torso. The regain their composure, each retaking their fighting stance as five more drones land in front of them.
"Abscond?" Rose inquired, taking a slight step back.
"Agreed." Kanaya mirrored Rose's slow retreat, almost dragging Terezi as she pounced forward again. As if in slow motion, they pivoted, only to be barrelled over by another group of trolls who seemed to have had the same idea they did, but quite a while ago.
Dave slammed into Terezi, and they rolled, sprawling on the ground, Jade's sleeping body flying in a random direction, landing in an awkward position off to the side. Eridan somehow slammed into both Kanaya and Rose, one of his hands resting on Kanaya's breast.
She chopped off his hand.
Unfortunately, lipstick doesn't chop very well, and the green hue just smeared across his lusty grey skin. She cursed, and shoved him off, all 5 of them standing quickly as a group of twenty or so more drones flew out of the woods in hot pursuit of Dave and friends. They flew over the kids, and pivoted in the air, joining the already large hoard of drones advancing slowly on the 5 kids, and one body.
Jade stared at the clouds as they floated peacefully over Prospit's land, showing not very peaceful going ons. She stared, watching silently as the drones advanced on the 5 kids and her sleeping body. She watched as Aradia backpedaled, barely avoiding each of Feferi's jabbing attacks. She squinted, waiting.
Waiting.
Waiting.
"Now?" She shot, leaving a hole a few inches from Vriska's face. Vriska fell silent.
Aradia was on the defensive, back pedaling constantly, barely avoiding each of Feferi's jabs. Feferi only continued advancing, slashing, flicking, punching, and jabbing her trident at Aradia's cold metal body, ruthlessly attacking.
Aradia backed up more and more, fearing poke-age. Feferi swung one more time, right at Aradia's chest.
Fortunately, Aradia slipped on the remnants of the pumpkin she had slammed into Feferi's face earlier, sending her plummeting downward. Feferi just barely missed, her scepter hitting only dirt as she landed on top of Aradia. Aradia quickly took this time to plant both her hands on Feferi's chest.
She shoved, separating Feferi from her precious pitchfork as she flew skyward, flipping uncontrollably through the air.
Jade smiles. "NOW!"
Vriska squealed in delight, her eyes twitching slightly as she brough her hands to her temples.
It was rather easy for Hearts Boxcar to chop off the sleeping girl's head.
Aradiabot exploded.
