Chapter 4: Job Search


(Shortly after the storm in GeoCity departed, Sky, Jerome, and HuskyMudkipz headed off the building and into the city to look for jobs. Ssuddee and Dawn remained on top of the building to keep an eye on their temporary hideout. As the day passed, Dawn and Ssuddee had nothing else to do but rest on top of the building. They also needed to hide under the billboard due to the scorching heat of the sun. After 5 hours passed, Sky, Jerome, and HuskyMudkipz climbs back onto the rooftop, obviously exhausted from the search. Sky collapses next to the billboard, which awakens Dawn from her nap).

-Dawn: Hey Sky, how was the job search?

-Sky: (groans) It was horrible. Jerome, Husky, and I went through, like, 10 job openings and we only managed to make $95.

-Dawn: Well, what were the jobs like?

-Sky: Well, out of the jobs, we did get to have our own cooking show...for 5 minutes.

(3 hours earlier...)

(Sky, Jerome, and HuskyMudkipz are seen on a set of a kitchen with a audience behind the camera. Jerome presents his dish).

-Jerome: Today, I will show you how to make 'Mudkip Surprise'.

-HuskyMudkipz: Wait, WHAT!?

-Jerome: First, you add salad to a bowl.

(Jerome takes half of a salad and dumps into a bowl).

-Jerome: Then, salt at any amount.

(Jerome grabs a salt shaker and just empties out the entire case).

-Jerome: Then, finally, a Mudkip.

(Jerome takes out a large knife and aims it for HuskyMudkipz).

-HuskyMudkipz: Dude, what the fuck?

-Jerome: Hey, why do you think I asked you to come with us? Now, hold still while I drive this through your head.

-HuskyMudkipz: Get away from me, you furry animal!

(The Pokemon runs away from Jerome as he starts to chase him with the knife. Sky then decides to cover up for them).

-Sky: Um...join us next time (or not) as we show you how to make calamari using...

(Sky reaches under the counter in front of him and places a live squid on top).

-Sky: SQUID!

(But then, the creature attaches itself onto Sky's face. Sky's muffled screams are heard as he grabs its tentacles and tries desperately to pry the aquatic creature off. He runs all over the place until he crashes into the camera, causing static to show and eventually, the screen showed the words 'Technical Difficulties').

(Present Time...)

-Sky: And then, we tried to be exterminators.

(2 and a half hours earlier...)

(Sky, Jerome, and HuskyMudkipz are seen in someone's house, dressed in extermination suits. Jerome is setting up a bear trap).

-Sky: Jerome, how is this supposed to catch the mice here?

-Jerome: Trust me. This will work to catch anything that takes a step on it.

(Jerome scoots the trap inside a small hill-shaped hole in the wall. Unknowingly to them, another hole rested on the other part of the wall. A mouse appears, scooting the trap out of its home, right beneath HuskyMudkipz).

-HuskyMudkipz: Well, this could take a while. I'll just sit down for a second.

(Husky kneels down, then, his behind gets captured by the jaws of the bear trap. He yelps and is propelled upwards while his friends look up and see his head in the ceiling and the rest of his body is exposed. His muffled yelling can be heard as he struggles to get himself out).

-Jerome: Well, at least the trap worked on something.

(Present Time...)

-Sky: And that's the jobs we tried out. (Sighs) You must think I'm a complete failure.

-Dawn: No, Sky. I don't think that at all. I mean, at least you earned enough money for us to go out and eat.

-Sky: Yeah...that's true. Come on, let's go get something to eat. I'm starving.

(Sky and the others climb off of the rooftop and into the city).

(Meanwhile, back at the prison...)

(Deadlox is seen pacing impatiently up and down the entrance of the prison. Then, two entities are seen walking towards the building. One being dressed up in a aqua-blue suit with an orange visor while the other is dressed in average-day clothing and brown, wavy hair. Deadlox sees them and ceases the pacing).

-Deadlox: About time you show up, TrueMU and BajanCanadian.

-TrueMU: Hey, we needed to make sure our prisoners were locked up tight. And just in case, we set up electrical fences around our prisons.

-BajanCanadian: Too bad you were too weak to keep your prisoners inside your prison.

-Deadlox: Look, that doesn't matter right now. All that matters is that both of you need to help me track down and find my escapees, especially Sky.

-TrueMU: Hm...okay, we'll help you.

-BajanCanadian: But what's in it for us?

-Deadlox: I'll let you both torture my prisoners.

-Both: Deal.

-Deadlox: Then, let's get going. They couldn't have gone far.

(The two prisons guards quickly put on their enchanted armor and arm themselves with diamond swords. They follow Deadlox through the rough terrain of Minecraftia, staring their search to not only find Deadlox's prisoners, but to also kill the butter god).
