Alright, here's another chapter, with a… surprising guest. Who could it be? Let's see...
RandomDragon: I resent that. Keith is more stupid.
TheLightningPunisher: Not die, then who would we use for a butt monkey?
Nianque: Maybe, but don't count on it.
Moemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia
Chapter 42
"Kelly!" Petal exclaimed, staring down at the sands I had sunken into. A clawed hand was holding onto my leg, pulling on me. I managed to kick free of her, and tried to swim up to the surface, but sand is not a liquid. Water, however, is.
"Vui, use water gun!" Keith ordered. Vui let a stream of water shoot from her mouth, hitting the sand, transforming it into mud. The mud soon hardened into solid dirt, surrounding my entire body in dirt.
"Rock smash!" Vui shouted, punching the dirt, shattering it. I fell down onto the bottom crust, and sat up, panting.
"Oh, god, you're so dirty." Vui said, pulling me off of the dirt layer and onto solid stone ground. "Want me to wash you off?"
"Yeah, that'd be nice." I said, trying to scrape the dirt off if my clothes. "I think these uniforms are waterproof."
"Water gun!" Vui shouted, releasing a powerful stream of water at me. The water literally blew the dirt off of my body, leaving me a soaking wet mess.
"Alright, Petal, we need to find a way-Petal?" I asked, staring at Petal, who was staring at me, her eyes slightly glazed over with drool dripping from her mouth.
"Petal!" I said, snapping my fingers in front of her face, Petal snapping out of it.
"Sorry, sorry, what was that?" Petal asked, blinking.
"Anyways, there's something down there…" I said, pointing at the sand pit.
"What kind of something?" Petal asked, frowning.
"Maybe a ground moemon of some kind." Keith said, frowning. "What are we gonna do? How do we get past this place?"
"We should probably find some way to get through the sand. Unfortunately, we don't have any digging moemon. Any ideas?" Petal asked.
"Wait, I know!" I said, smiling. "That moemon down there is a digging expert, I bet. I think we should capture her!"
"Oh, so we should capture the ground moemon down there?" Petal asked, staring at the sand. "Any ideas how we should go about doing that?"
"I've got one." I said, frowning. "Vui, do you think you can swim through sand?"
"Oh, hecks yeah!" Vui said, nodding, jumping onto the sand pit. And I do mean ONTO. Instead of falling into the sand, she simply hit it, refusing to sink.
"It… it's not a liquid…" Vui gasped, standing up. "It's a large mass of incredibly small solids…"
"So you can't…" Keith started, but Vui silenced him with a glare.
"I didn't say that." Vui said, frowning. "Just you watch! Aqua jet!" Vui shot forwards through the sand, parting it into waves, searching around for the mystery ground moemon. She moved around the sand pit at high speeds, but no matter how hard she searched it seemed like she couldn't find the moemon she was looking for. Finally, she took in a deep breath and dove deep into the sand, attempting to find the moemon.
After a while, her head stuck out of the sand, gasping for breath.
"Did you find her?" Keith asked.
"Yeah, that's why I came up here, because I captured her and just didn't bring her back with me." Vui snapped.
"Lu lu lu…" A soft voice sang, the six of us turning to see the new figure walking into the room. She wore a black dress and shawl, with a black witch's hat and rather short stature. She had pink hair tied down to her neck in two pigtails and bright blue eyes.
"Huh?" Petal asked, staring at the woman/young girl.
"Oh, what are you people doing here?" She asked, surprised.
"Um, we're trying to get through." Keith asked, walking up to her. "Hi, I'm Keith."
"Don't care." The woman said, shoving him out of the way. She hurried over to me, grabbing my hands, her eyes practically shining. "Hello! My name's Lulu! What's your name? Are you single?"
"Um… I'm Kellyn." I said, more than a little creeped out by this chick.
"AND NO, HE'S NOT SINGLE." Petal said, pushing her back off of me.
"Well, if he's not single, then how about he has sex with me?" Lulu asked, smiling.
"What part of that makes any sense?" Petal spluttered out, really, REALLY pissed off.
"Listen, shorty…" Lulu sighed.
"You're as short as I am!" Petal exclaimed.
"Yeah, but where as you are scrawny and short, I am buxom and beautiful." Lulu said, running her hands across Petal's flat chest.
"Why you!" Petal exclaimed, grabbing her pipe, swinging it at Lulu, who spun out of the way, walking over to me, running her hand across my cheek.
"Now then, since that violent shrew is out of the way…" Lulu said, smiling.
"Hey!" Petal exclaimed, spinning around, charging at Lulu, swinging her pipe, Lulu ducking down, avoiding the swing, and popping up.
"Anyways, about the sex…" Lulu said, turning to me.
"I SAID NO!" Petal exclaimed, Mary and Electabuzz having to hold her back.
"…Maybe later." I said, frowning. "We're kind of busy right now."
"Really? Why?" Lulu asked, frowning.
"Well, we're trying to find some way to get through the sand pit." I said, frowning. "And to do that, we need to capture the ground moemon down there."
"Yeah, but we can't find it." Keith said, frowning. "Any ideas?"
"Well, can you find her?" Lulu asked, frowning.
"What, am I invisible?" Keith asked, frowning.
"Hey, do you need my help?" Lulu asked, smiling.
"What? You can help us?" I asked, surprised.
"For you, sweetie." Lulu said, smiling, kissing me lightly on the lips. I'm pretty sure that I saw Petal's head explode in anger, but I'm not sure. Maybe that was just her blood boiling.
"I'M GONN KILL YOU!" Petal screeched, breaking free off the two electric moemon, charging at Lulu, who stepped out of the way to avoid the angry brunette.
So, what's going to happen now that Lulu's been added to the mix?
