Chapter 9: Hotheads in the Netherworld
Betrayus's Castle. 7:12 P.M. Below the Hidden Kingdom and PacWorld.
The 5 super soldiers ran in, blasting at any ghost and creature that resided in the Netherworld, aiming for the goal of eliminating Betrayus and ruling over the Netherworld. They ran through many rooms to get to Betrayus, blasting much plasma at everything that moved besides each other. They ran into the room where Fluffy sleeps…
Fluffy's Room. 7:21 P.M.
"Uh… what the heck is that?" Kyle asked, pointing his plasma blaster at Fluffy.
"Chill, it's just a three-headed poodle…" Pancake said. He pointed his plasma blaster at Fluffy, however.
"Should we just walk on out of here?" Idiotso said, pointing his plasma flamethrower at Fluffy. Everyone was pointing their weapons, slowly sidestepping out of the room before Fluffy's eyes would open and eat the 5 of them. Idiotso fell over with a loud CLANK and THUD. Fluffy's ears perked up, and his or hers eyes open, looking at the 5 of them. They all didn't move. Then Fluffy went hostile mode and then all 5 of them started running for their lives.
"ACK! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!" Kyle yelled, running.
"I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FRIENDLY THREE-HEADED POODLE!" Pancake yelled.
"OH, YA THINK?! WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD MADE YOU THINK THAT EVERYTHING HERE WAS FRIENDLY?!" Idiotso yelled.
Klutz dropped a primed grenade, exploding right underneath Fluffy, stunning him or her.
"There, I saved your asses. JUST KEEP RUNNING ANYWAYS!" Klutz yelled.
They all ran into Betrayus's Room, and point their weapons at him, Klutz blocking the hall they ran in with so Fluffy can't reach them.
"Freeze, Betrayus." Pancake said, pointing his weapon at him.
"I'm a fire ghost, so I can't freeze, you dimwitted losers!" Betrayus yelled, summoning two fireballs in his hands. He doesn't know if they're from the Noob Army. Pancake just shoots both of his arms, disabling them.
"ACK! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! I AM BETRAYUS, THE RULER OF THE NETHERWORLD!" Betrayus yelled. "BUTT-LER! BUTTOCKS! HELP ME!" he added.
Butt-ler and Buttocks were in another room, unfortunately. Both had headphones on, listening to music. So they couldn't hear Betrayus.
"Should we check on Betrayus?" Butt-ler asked.
"Hm? Oh. Nah. He's probably fine." Buttocks replied.
"BUTT-LER AND BUTTOCKS, YOU STUPID IDIOTS! GET YOUR BUTT-RELATED HEADS OVER TO THE THRONE ROOM BEFORE I'M KILLED! AGAIN!" Betrayus yelled.
A couple of ghosts flew in, armed with Slime-urikens, flinging them at the 5 super soldiers.
"LOOK OUT!" Kyle yelled, diving for cover and blasting a ghost into oblivion. The rest of them fire at the ghosts. Betrayus tries to fly away, but is shot in the back, stunning him and preventing him from flying for a while. They put Betrayus in a steel cage and run off back to the Netherworld Entrance.
Netherworld Lava Fields. 7:43 P.M.
"Can't we EVER get a break from these losers?" Kyle said, avoiding slime bombs from a bunch of ghosts.
"Betrayus is stunned, so we can jail him for good!" Pancake yelled, running.
"Where should we go when we get out of the Netherworld anyways?" Idiotso said, running.
"Unless we…" Pancake said, but he couldn't finish in time before a lot more people in armor like theirs appeared, firing at the ghosts.
"Get going! There's elevators awaiting you guys!" one of them yelled, covering fire for the 5 of them.
All 5 of them run into an elevator, and they go back up to the Hidden Kingdom.
Hidden Kingdom Laboratory. 7:51 P.M.
They appear back at the laboratory, they all take off their helmets, and their armor magnetically falls apart, though not for good.
"So, how'd your mission go?" The person in armor said, he was waiting for them.
"We captured Betrayus, sent a lot of ghosts running, and we even fought off their dog, a giant three-headed poodle." Kyle said, in a bragging-like tone.
"… whatever. Anyways, we got more work to do." The man in armor said.
"You are going to spy on the Pac-Man and his friends, see what they're up to. Honestly with the worthless screen cam technology in the throne room, I cannot clearly see what they are doing." He added.
"Cool, we're gonna be like James Bond!" Kyle yelled in glee.
"… no, just… no." The man in armor said. And then slapped Kyle across the face for insolence.
"Sorry… geez…" Kyle said, rubbing the spot he got slapped at.
"Head back to PacWorld, we'll take care of the Netherworld now that its leader is trapped in a steel cage." The man in armor said.
Betrayus wakes up to find himself in the steel cage. "What the… WHERE AM I?! I DEMAND TO KNOW WHY I'M BEING HELD HOSTAGE!" Betrayus yelled.
"We're just taking your kingdom off your hands, Betrayus…" The man in armor said, laughing a little.
"I'M GONNA RIP YOUR THROAT OUT AND BURN IT TO A CRISP!" Betrayus yelled, reaching out for the man in armor. He just simply flicked his hand back to Betrayus, and Betrayus gets slapped in the face with his own hand.
"Tsk, tsk. You sure are a hothead." The man in armor said with a smirk, as if he was trolling Betrayus.
"WHY YOU LITTLE…" Betrayus said, setting on fire, and was about to phase out the cage before water surrounded all of it, including the bottom. Everywhere there was water, except inside the cage.
"Did you honestly think this was just a steel cage?" Pancake said, looking at Betrayus.
"My army will NEVER fall for your command… you little insolent pieces of garbage!" Betrayus yelled.
"Yeah, well, without their leader, that's gonna be hard to do, hm?" Kyle said.
"I'll get out of this cage, sooner or later…" Betrayus said, angry.
"We'll see about that, Betrayus." Idiotso said.
"What shall we do with the hothead?" Klutz said.
"Let's put him in a longboat!" Pancake yelled.
"Shave his ghostly tails with a rusty machete?" Kyle said.
"Put him in a bed with King Noob's corpse?" Noobly said.
Everyone was staring at Noobly.
"Really? In a bed with King Noob's corpse? Seriously?" Pancake said, looking at Noobly.
"Just a suggestion… sheesh…" Noobly said, twiddling his thumbs.
"That is the dumbest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Amen." The man in armor said.
"Well, time for you guys to go off and go spy on the Pac-Man. Don't fail me." The man in armor added.
"Yes, sir." Pancake said, saluting. The other 4 saluted as well, and they all ran off back to PacWorld.
"This is going to end up badly in the end… I know it…" The man in armor said.
"So, where are you going to throw me in anyways?" Betrayus said, staring at the man in armor.
He pulls out a spear, jamming it through the handle and lifting it up.
"How about I throw you into a bottomless pit?" He said, before tossing Betrayus into a bottomless pit.
"YOU PIECE OF GARBAAAAAAAGEEEEE…" Betrayus yelled, before falling into the bottomless pit.
"… well, that went better than I expected." He said, before walking off to the throne room.
Sir C's Lab. 8:32 P.M.
Pac and Cyli both fell asleep already, both of them were really tired, seeing as how it was 8:32 P.M. right now. Sir C also had fallen asleep. Pac wakes up, and looks around.
"… huh?" Pac said, looking around. "Oh… must've fallen asleep…" he added. He looks at Cyli, but decides to not wake her up. He gets up and starts to look around Sir C's lab. The lights were still on, Grinder was in sleep mode, and Fuzzbits was asleep. It felt creepy again. So quiet and eerie…
Then a bunch of portals open up in front of him, 6 of them, facing each other. Pac can see another Pac and a Pinky running and flying through a portal, a Spiral running through a portal, a red, blue, orange, green, yellow, dark pink, and dark red knight run through a portal, a bowling ball flying through a portal, and some random person rocket jumping through a portal, before they all close.
"… what the heck was that?" Pac said. He shook his head and turned around, Cyli was gone. Everyone in Sir C's lab suddenly disappeared. He walked around to try to find anyone. He turned around to look at the desk, and found a dead Cyli on the table. Pac ran over to 'Cyli' and picked her up, Pac could faintly hear his name from the apparently dead Cyli, before it vanished into thin air. Then the entire lab around him seemingly crumbled, and Pac falls, but only to land on a small platform.
"This is a dream… this is just only a dream…" Pac said to himself, looking around. And then a light goes on somewhere, revealing the guy in the armor. Pac felt the floor around him; bottomless pit. No ground. He stayed on the platform and looked at the person that suddenly appeared.
"This may be a dream to you." The person in armor said. "This isn't a dream, for me." He said, laughing to himself. "I know you are in hiding." He added. "First that angry mob is after you… now there's the threat to PacWorld." He finished.
"Can't you guys ever stop attempting to destroy us?!" Pac yelled, looking at him.
He laughed. It felt creepy to Pac.
"Oh, I put you and the others in a nightmare, just to let you know." He said. "By the time you wake up, you'll be in a different place. We found your hiding place, so I used my ability to knock you out into a nightmare." He added.
"A nightmare?!" Pac yelled.
"Yup. Now, it's time for you to wake up." He said. The light went out when he turned around, the blue and red eyes glowing in the darkness. Then Pac couldn't respond in time when the person in armor pulled out his spear and jumped at Pac.
Unknown Area. Unknown time.
Pac woke up; for real this time; to find himself in the middle of a forest. He looked around, the forest was dark. It looked like night time, but he couldn't tell, the trees were really tall, and there were too many of them blocking out the sky.
"Where the heck am I…?" Pac said. "I have to find the others… but…" He added, staring at the forest. There were no paths, no signs, no anything. It was up to him to get out of the forest. But he didn't know where to go. He checked his communications watch; it was only showing that black and white fizzling.
"Darn it, my communications watch is jammed…" Pac said, tapping it.
Then, in front of Pac, was a ghostly image of Cyli, though Pac couldn't tell if this was real, or if it was still a dream.
"Pac?" The image of Cyli said. "Are you there?" she added.
"Uh… y-yeah. Are you real?" Pac said, startled.
"I am real, but I'm apparently trapped somewhere. What about you?" The image said.
"Stuck in the middle of a random forest, don't know how to get out." Pac said.
"Then follow me." The image said, running into the forest. It kept repeating the same movement until Pac reached the end point, then repeating the image going another direction. Pac kept running alongside the image of Cyli, apparently getting nowhere. 'This forest is seriously big…' Pac thought. He was right; this forest is SERIOUSLY big.
"We're almost to the exit…" The image said, still running. Pac managed to keep up with the image. Pac could even see light ahead.
"Wait… before you disperse… where are you anyways?" Pac said.
"I'm in the middle of a mountain range… try to find me before it's too late…" The image said, before dispersing in the contact of the exit. Pac was still in the middle of nowhere, but he could see a mountain range ahead. He ran towards the mountain range, in hopes of finding Cyli.
Hidden Kingdom. 10:23 P.M.
"Uh… sir?" A scientist said, looking at a map that is showing a couple of blinking lights.
"What is it?" The man in armor said, walking over to him.
"Apparently the Pac-Man managed to get out of the forest… we don't know how, we're trying to find out how he managed to escape." The scientist said.
"Hmm… slow him down. They all cannot unite." The man in armor said.
"Why, sir?" The scientist said.
"Apparently SOMEONE here put a bug in the software saying that, if all of them unite, Pac, Cyli, Sir C, Grinder, and Fuzzbits, they will get out of the world, and back to PacWorld. I'm not saying it's you, but someone here did this…" The man in armor said, giving a glare to all the scientists in here. Blinky, Inky, Pinky, and Clyde were hiding behind a wall, the man in armor walks away.
"Good thing Inky is an excellent programmer." Blinky said.
"Aw man, now my poor Paccums is 8-bit!" Pinky said.
"Chillax, Pinky. He's 8-bit on the screen, not in the world. Besides, he'll get out." Inky said.
"Should we get out of here before we get caught?" Clyde said.
"Yeah, let's scoot. Pancake's coming!" Inky said, flying up. The rest fly up before Pancake makes the turn from a corner.
"So how was conquering the Netherworld?" Pancake asked, walking alongside another lieutenant.
"We managed to conquer the kingdom of the Netherworld, and got the ghosts to follow our beck and call. There were some rebels, but we managed to turn them into goo, for good. Though I still think there is a rebel in our ranks in hiding. We're trying to see if there's any more rebels, but most of them are loyal." The lieutenant said.
"That's good. What about the soldiers? Any of them died?" Pancake asked.
"No, slime doesn't kill soldiers. The ghosts couldn't eat through the armor, so that's good. For us." The lieutenant said.
"I am impressed, your first day as a lieutenant and you already managed to conquer the Netherworld." Pancake said.
"Unfortunately we just only recently discovered the Netherworld Dragons, and they tried to roast our camps." The lieutenant said. "We had to scoot before we became the barbeque." He added.
"Is the Netherworld still under control?" Pancake asked.
"Indeed it is. And will remain to be." The lieutenant said.
"Well, I'm gonna go down to the Netherworld and help out my fellow soldiers." Pancake said, putting on a helmet and the armor.
"Good luck down there, then." The lieutenant said, pulling a lever once Pancake is ready, sending him down to the Netherworld. He notices a scientist working on something and walks over to him.
"What's with all the blinking lights?" The lieutenant asked, looking at the scientist, who is hard at work.
"I'm programming some duplicates of the soldiers in our army to stop the Pac-Man from escaping the virtual world we zapped him and his friends into." The scientist said.
"Doesn't look like it's being any affective." The lieutenant said, pointing at the screen.
Virtual World. Unknown time.
Pac is using a hammer he found to strike back against the sudden enemy units, the enemy units pixilating into nothingness on contact with the weapon.
"Where did these guys come from?!" Pac yelled, smashing enemies with a hammer. "Even though these guys are easy to defeat, they're still coming from out of nowhere!" Pac yelled, smashing at the enemies. He eventually was able to spawncamp the enemies from where they spawned, and Pac eventually finds a spawner and smashes it, the spawner pixilating like the soldiers did. Pac continued to run to the mountain range, enemies starting to appear everywhere, but Pac has one goal in mind; getting to the mountain range. He just smashes through enemies, running towards the mountain range where Cyli was said to be at.
Enemies continued to fire at Pac, but he was running now, avoiding any enemies and picking up the pace to Cyli's said location. He kept running towards the mountain range, not caring about anything else but only Cyli for the moment.
Guess I should end this chapter, save it for another chapter as it was beginning to go into Chapter 10 right now. Anyways, hope you enjoyed this chapter. Apologies for this being short. The next one will be longer, for sure. The next chapter's name will be Virtual Painality since Pac is trapped inside a video game, apparently. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, and see you on the next chapter! See you later for now! -SuperNoobGalaxy
