You're Not a Bad Person

Chapter 5

True Self

Back at Vykkers Lab, Humphrey watched as Furlong, who was chained up against the wall with masses of chains and ropes struggling to become free.

"Aww, come on! I won't hurt Sapphire!" he cried out. Humphrey shook his head and Danni walked by his side.

"So?" Danni said in a small voice.

"He's still the same as he was last night. I hope Sapphire gets back to us. She said that Doc. Vykker isn't at his office. He must be at his retreat back at Mongo Valley." Humphrey reported.

"That's miles away!" Danni cried out. Furlong struggled even more.

"Now come on, if Sapphire was here to give me what I need, maybe I would be better?" he asked, giggling. Danni shot a glare at him as Humphrey rolled his eyes.

"We did that about seven times and you're still the same so…NO!" Humphrey snapped and Furlong swore under his breath. Danni sighed sadly as Headly walked through the 'Vykkers Only Door'.

"Okay, things are getting bad." Danni whimpered to Headly. "Furlong's still the same and Sapphire's little 'day-trip' is gonna take her about three or four days. What if she dies?" She seemed to be on the verge of tears as Headly embraced her softly.

"Now, Sapphire's a Big Girl, not a crawling Slig like that bastard Tony. She can look after herself." Headly smiled sympathetically.

"Not if that Gigantic Big Bro Bartholomew is on her tail!" Came a sudden voice behind them.

Everyone spun around to see Irwin, who stood by the doorway.

"What do you mean?" Headly demanded. Irwin slowly walked down the path towards Furlong, who gave up in the end of struggling.

"Sapphire's perfectly fine, but there's another Big Bro Slig, who claims himself as a Bounty Hunter, robbed Sapphire and now I suspect that she's in danger if she ever gets in his way." Irwin commented, remembering how Sapphire reacted down the phone to him when Bart stood next to her.

"I wonder how tall he is…" Humphrey mused thoughtfully.

"Why can't we get her back?" Headly asked in horror, his bright yellow eyes urgent. Irwin sadly shook his head.

'It's against regulations. Arnie doesn't even know that his daughters gone to the Western side of Oddworld. If any of the Glukkons find out she's gone down there, we're as good as dead."

"We?" Danni repeated. "You mean you and Humphrey. You were the idiots who sent her down there! You do realise the Clakkerz and Outlaws down there are not as homely as we are here to her!" Danni said sulking.

Irwin nodded once. He understood that Danni was slightly overreacting, but she's a dear friend of Sapphire. Emerald was furious to hear about it from Danni. She even tried to fly out of Vykkers Labs in order to send her little sister back, even though Sapphire won't stop at anything once she gets a goal. Her wings were taken off her from Irwin and she was forced to wear pants. Ruby was just escaping more easily then what Furlong could do. She slipped through the Interns fingers, as she had no pants, and climbs through the pipe work, which she knew inside-out because she fixed and worked with them. Furlong was under watch by Joey and Corey, which pissed Joey off more then Corey because he wanted to be with Sapphire. He also heard about Bart and he was furious to hear what he did to his 'little sister', and marks him words to teach him a lesson.

Kiki knocked and entered the Vykker Lab.

"Erm…Ruby's escaped again," She murmured. "She's on her way to Valet Slig's room."

"Oh, for Odd's Sake!" Irwin moaned. "Can't those Interns do anything?"

"Not much if their lips are stitched up!" Kiki snapped suddenly and she charged out of the door. She too was frustrated. Her best friend was held because of this rare, usual illness and Sapphire was risking her life for Ruby and that no-good-for-nothing boyfriend Furlong, who seems to have more interest in Emerald then he did with Sapphire.

"Mwahaha! Sapphire lost her virginity because of me!" Furlong chuckled darkly. Danni fumed angrily.

"She might have lost her virginity, but she still has the box it came with!" The fuming lady-Vykker snarled.

Furlong became confused as Headly, Humphrey and Irwin held their breath from laughing.

Back at the Monsaic Lines, Sam sat still, startled from what she just saw. Once again, she was watching over Sapphire, but was most startled with the fact of why Sapphire was there. Native Mudokons chanted silently around her, turquoise glowing mushrooms from the mossy wall glowed brightly as small fireflies hovered around them. Big Face walked towards Sam, who noticed her horrified.

"What's the matter, Sam?"

Sam explained to Big Face that Sapphire was in the Western Side of Oddworld in the search of antidote for her Slig friends. During her journey, she meets Bart, who seems to be a threat to Sapphire and will shoot at her any cost. She snapped her fingers at the cloud, which echoed and fainted in the hollowness of her cave. The cloud of Sapphire walking through the Bounty Store vanished and dissolved into the image of Bart, which made Big Face flinched back in terror. "Whoa!" Sam nodded.

"I fear that Sapphire's gonna get into some trouble." But then, she smiled, which confused Big Face. "But then again, as Sapphire travels through the Western side, she will discover her true self and she feel frustrated to a point where she will become powerful in blinded fury." She narrowed her eyes. "And if that Bart goes near my girl…hmm," She paused. "Maybe, Sapphire will discover something."

Big face paused.

"You know, I wish you stopped talking in riddles."

Sam glanced at him and smiled cheekily. Turquoise light from the glowing mushrooms shifted on their faces, shadows darted and stabbing between the lines of their features. Sam watched Sapphire carefully, as Big Face joined her.

Oh yeah, :D I decided to write about what Sam and the Vykker dudes are up to, and how they are getting on. Sounds like they are having fun, right? …

Anyway, here's the new chapter :D
