Chapter 23 – Here we go again

After everyone had finally managed to calm down after the entire rush of G's choice of song, the Prancing Pony finally began to quiet down. Not only that but now the ice had been officially broken between the group, not so much for two of the Dazzlings but Chef and Sonata seemed to be getting along pretty well with Lug, Mossy and Spud. Seeing this G couldn't help but smile, hopefully Edward Laura and Goggles will be able to get along with Chef and the Dazzlings just as easily.

"Hey, um… G?" Nyx whispered from his cloak pocket. "Your ears are showing."

Now that Nyx had pointed it out, G finally took notice that through all the excitement, his hood had fallen down, revealing his ears and right eye, thankfully everyone else was either too drunk or too preoccupied to even take notice and he was able to quickly pull it back up again.

"Damn this stupid disguise!" he grumbled, making sure his ears are tucked away so no one could see them. "I hate that I can't do a full body shift!"

As she looked up from G's pocket, Nyx's mind once again couldn't help but fill up with questions, though in this case she didn't know how to indulge her curiosity without being too invasive.

"Hey just out of curiosity G, have you…?" she asked, though not really sure as to how to finish her sentence.

"Have I what?" G asked in response, curious as to what Nyx wanted to know.

"You know," she said nervously. "Changed another person?"

It took a few seconds to realise what the young filly meant by that, but G soon began to understand what she was asking.

"Oh no, nothing like that," he explained. "Changing my own body that's one thing, but changing someone else is a whole different story. In fact it's pretty dangerous for me, you saw what I was like when I fixed Edward's oven, the strain of that kind of transformation could possibly even…"

However before G could finish his sentence, he was cut off by a series of loud screams coming from outside the inn, in fact it was so loud that even the drunkest of people inside could take notice of it. Deciding to find out what was causing such a panic, the innkeeper quickly made his way towards the door and grabbed the nearest person to run past.

"What's going on out there? He demanded.

"ORCS!" the man screamed before breaking free of the innkeepers grip. "Orcs by the front gate!"

Though it was bad enough that the innkeeper heard that statement, unfortunately the man's shouts were loud enough to be heard by most of the people in the inn. Within a matter of second, the jolly atmosphere that once filled the Prancing pony was replaced with a frenzy of pure panic, the only ones who didn't seem to be turning tables and running towards the door were G and his group, all of whom only seemed to be looking at each other with horror.

"You don't think…?" Lug asked, completely terrified of the answer.

However Lug didn't even need to finish his sentence, for almost everyone else knew exactly what he was thinking.

"Find the others and meet me by the gate," G instructed quickly before rising from his seat and heading towards the door.

Following his instructions without question, Lug, Mossy and Spud nodded and followed G outside, the only ones who seemed confused by this was Chef and the Dazzlings, who simply followed the fairies outside just so they could get some answers.

#

"Come out, come out wherever you are," Rahzar said mockingly as he and Bebop skulked around the van like a pair of predators hunting their prey. "I know you're hiding in there somewhere."

Needless to say Goggles was terrified out his mind at this moment, sure he had dealt with creatures hunting him down before but nothing close to these two, ever since Rahzar picked up his scent from inside the van, he and Bebop couldn't help but peak at their curiosity.

"Yeah, I can smell him too yo," Bebop chuckled sinisterly "What do you say we crack open this piece of junk and see what comes out?"

However as she watched the two mutants stalk the van, Scanty merely rolled her eyes and smack herself in the fore head, believing that what they were doing was nothing more than a waste of time.

"We don't have time for that!" She snapped. "You could be smelling something that only just recently been inside for all we know."

However Bebop merely scoffed at that.

"Nuh uh girl," he said, proudly pointing at his snout for emphasis. "This smell's fresh."

"VERY fresh," Rahzar added as he leant up against the driver side door of the van.

While Goggles may not have been able to see anything due to hiding directly under the window, he could still hear a great deal, from Bebop's snickering to Rahzar's breath steaming up the glass. After a few minutes Goggles heard nothing, perhaps they gave up and went away? WRONG! For within seconds of Goggles letting out a sigh of relief Rahzar's claws smashed through the window and started aimlessly grabbing anything it could, causing Goggles to scream with pure terror.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

#

Witnessing all of this from the viewing window of Bree's front gate, the group could only gasp in horror upon seeing the poor Gizmonk being pulled out of the van by his tail.

"Oh no," G exclaimed. "Goggles!"

"We got to get him out of there!" Nyx squealed.

"Not only that, but now we have to get our ride back from those yahoos too," Spud added as he stood up on Lug's shoulders to get a better look.

It was then that Mossy came by with Edward and Laura in tow, along with Chef and the Dazzlings who still haven't received any real answers to the situation at hand.

"Okay would someone mind telling me just what the hell is going on!?" Chef demanded.

Of course judging from the glares the Dazzlings were giving the group, G could obviously tell that they were thinking the same thing as Chef was.

"Well…" he began, trying the best way of spelling the situation out. "I MAY have failed to mention that we also have a bunch of villains trying to track us down in hopes of killing us."

Of course G wasn't going to say anything about the villains to Chef and the Dazzlings when they first met, after all he had to make sure they agreed to come along with the group, he would have told them about the villains after they had already left the realm but the early appearance of said villains had forced him to confess a little earlier than planned. Needless to say Adagio was quite ticked judging from the furious grinding of her teeth and her left eye twitching with pure rage.

"You failed to… we should turn you in right here and now." She growled, much to the other Dazzlings' agreement and everyone else's horror.

"You wouldn't," G said nervously, desperately hoping than the siren was bluffing.

"Well, give us a good reason as to why we shouldn't," Aria retorted.

"Because… I'm cute?" G replied, not really knowing what else to say, after all these three girls are within their rights to be mad.

Needless to say G's responses caused a few eyes to roll, and even a couple of face palming from Chef and Lug. After a few moments of silence Adagio gave her own response.

"Aria, Sonata, grab his legs," she instructed to her sister. "Perhaps we can strike a deal with these guys."

Giving their sister a nod of understanding, Aria and Sonata then tried to make a grab for G, however before they could, or even before G could give a reaction himself, Edward stepped in between him and the Dazzlings with Laura and defended his friend.

"NO!" he snapped, raising his scissor hands in a threatening manner.

G was the most surprised by this reaction from Edward, after all he was as most people would call, a pacifist in any sense of the word. However it turns out that it if was for the sake of his friend he can be aggressive, Which should really be all that surprising for G since he knows all about what Edward has done in his life time.

"Think about it, you dumb lass," Lug scoffed, also surprising G with his reaction. "If you turn G in then who's gonna guarantee your safety, eh?"

Now LUG was defending him!? Ever since day one, all the fairy ever did was complain about him, and now he was coming to G's defence? That song in the inn must have done a number on his mind or something, at least that's what G thought. At that moment, another voice joined the argument, a voice belonging to none other than Chef Hatchet.

"Yeah, cause judging by the way that lot are treating EACH OTHER, you'd have better chances in a pit full of lions than with that lot out there." He added, taking a peak through the viewing window.

At least CHEF was on G's side, it could have been due to the fact that he simply didn't care and just wanted to get back home any way he can regardless of the consequences, but at this point G will accept anything. However the Dazzlings still didn't seem convinced, in fact they simply continued giving G and evil glare, even after taking a peek through the viewing window themselves to see whether the villains we as bad as everyone was describing them. Seeing that desperate measures are called for, Nyx had no choice but to use her initiative to come to her friend's defence.

"Okay, then put it this way," she said, giving a stern glare towards the Dazzlings. "Either you three behave and leave G alone, or we're just gonna have to set Chef on you."

Chef may not have liked being used as a tool but the fact that he would be given an opportunity to torture teenagers again seemed to cause him a bit of enjoyment, so much so that he couldn't help but give the three sirens an evil smile whilst playfully giving at them. As expected, all three Dazzlings couldn't help but cringe upon that threat, they did NOT want to be on the receiving end on whatever was going through Chef's head.

"Okay fine," Adagio finally said, sighing in defeat. "So what exactly are we gonna do now?"

As shocked as G was at the whole situation, G couldn't help but be impressed at the filly's ability to adapt to a situation, especially when dealing with someone like the Dazzlings, if her mother, Twilight was here then she would have been proud of her daughter right now. Even Laura and Edward couldn't help but smile as the conflict between the group seemed to be coming to an end for now, however that still left the other problem lurking outside. Thankfully, as Nyx had come to expect by now, G had something to add to the conversation.

"I have an idea," he said. "And hopefully it just might work…"

#

"Flag of truce?" G said, popping his head from out of the side door of the gate. "WOAH!"

That was all that G managed to say before a series of arrows impaled themselves through the wood of the gate, forcing the Living Genre to jump back inside and slam the door shut. As it turned out, Scanty had given the orcs orders to shoot G on sight, which of course meant that they were keeping their eyes on the gate in case the little freak came out. Of course the gatekeeper was nowhere to be seen, more than likely he ran off with everyone else upon seeing the orcs, thus allowing G to shed his disguise since there was nobody else around. As much as that sudden wave of arrows gave him a shock, G still had a mission to do and he wasn't going to rest until he saw it through.

"WAIT!" he yelled, sticking out his metal arm from the door and waving a white flag, thankfully Scanty found it in her heart to tell the orcs to hold fire at this. "Okay, I understand that you all are severely pissed with me, so I'm willing to come along quietly and we can all talk this out."

Obviously G wasn't going to stick his head out this time, instead he simply continued to wave his tiny white flag with his metal arm, just peaking it out of the door so even if the orcs fired again, all they would his was metal. However despite this, Scanty's scowl looked like her gaze alone was about to set the wooden gate aflame.

"Talking time is over you little weasel!" she yelled furiously. "And for the record, you ARE gonna come out here, otherwise…"

It was then that G managed to spot something from on top of the van's roof, the sight in question being Ezekiel laughing mischievously whilst holding onto Goggles by his tail, ready to drop him into the snapping jaws of the Wargs circling the van. Next to him was the equally ecstatic Rahzar, crouching down on the roof and digging his claws into the metal casing of the van.

"… the monkey becomes Warg-food!" he chuckled, finishing Scanty's demand.

"Help me!" Goggles squealed, obviously terrified out of his mind.

Needless to say, G was furious upon seeing the Gizmonk being held hostage, that and scared by what might happen if he made the wrong move. However if things went according to plan, which he hoped they would, then Goggles will be out of harm's way soon enough.

"Okay, I'm coming out!" he called out, slowly making his way out of the door so that he was in full view of the villains before giving off a light chuckle. "Couldn't stay out of trouble, eh Goggles?"

However the Gizmonk was certainly in no mood for jokes.

"Screw you, G!" he snapped.

Of course Goggles was going to react in such away, however G kept his cool, after all he needed to if his plan was going to work. Keeping his hands where everyone could see them, he slowly took a few steps towards the villains, all the while keeping one eye on Goggles at all times.

"Hey Bebop," he said, passing by the mutants as they along with the orcs began to circle around G so that he didn't go running. "Still trying to bring back the Mohawk eh? Good for you."

"Oho! Y'all got jokes huh?" Bebop snapped in response, ready to dish out a series of plasmas rays at G's head. "Please say I can fry him now."

"Not yet comrade!" Rocksteady said quickly, holding Bebop back with one of his large hands. "Wait till red girl gives order."

At those words, Bebop then reluctantly allowed the energy building up around his Mohawk to fade away into nothing, thus allowing G to pass by. After walking a few more feet towards Scanty, G then found his path blocked by none other than Ranamon, who was staring down at G with a cold glare.

"Hey Ranamon," G said nervously, his fear of the water Digimon clearly showing in his voice. "You're looking lovely as ever."

However Ranamon merely scoffed at that.

"Flattery ain't gonna get you mercy this time my darling," she said with a dark tone, though not without a hint of a seductive feel as well.

It was then that G swallowed his pride with a deep gulp and did what he thought he would never have to do… give this crazy lady a compliment.

"Oh really?" he said with a light chuckle. "Because I swear you are rocking that swimsuit today, is that new?"

As G hoped would happen, Ranamon's cold stare softened and she ended up turning a deep shade of red around her cheeks, within seconds she melted like butter and couldn't help but giggle at G's flattery.

"Oh this old thing?" she said, completely flustered with G's very voice. "Well…"

However before she could finish her sentence, Scanty's shrill voice echoed into everyone's ears.

"ENOUGH!" she screamed, cutting Ranamon off in mid-sentence and stomping towards her and G. "Hold the water-witch back, I don't want her interfering with this."

Upon her command a pair of orcs then grabbed Ranamon by her arms and placed a hand over her mouth so that she was unable to use her abilities. Obviously she protested against this and struggled against the orcs, however one quick punch to her stomach sought to that, whatever loyalty she had from these beast before was certainly long gone now. As much as he was terrified of Ranamon in all her watery glory, G couldn't help but feel sorry for her, hell, he even felt enraged that the orcs were treating a lady in such away. However he also knew Ranamon was tougher than she looked and Goggles' wellbeing was all that mattered right now, so taking another heavy sigh G readied himself as Scanty walked closer towards him until she was only to feet away and pointed her revolver directly at his forehead.

"Any last quips you want to say before I place a bullet into the morsel of flesh you call a brain? Scanty growled, just itching to pull the trigger.

Witnessing this from his captor's grip, Goggles couldn't help but whimper, whatever G had planned he had better do it quickly. It was then that G looked up at the Gizmonk with a gentle smile.

"Hey Goggles," he said, quickly grabbing his attention. "Before I go, I gotta say, I've always admired your BRIGHT ideas."

At first Goggles had no idea as to why G was putting emphasis on the word bright, however it didn't him take any more than a few seconds to catch onto what G was implying. Finally realising his role in whatever G's plan was, Goggles took in a heavy breath an performed yet another one of his talents, for those who didn't know before now, when a Gizmonk gets an idea the orb at the end of his tail lights up like a lightbulb in a cartoon, however they also have the ability to light them up willingly… and can also control just how bright it would shine. Within a matter of seconds, Goggles lit up his tail, and unfortunately for Ezekiel, who was still holding by said tail, the orb was directly in front of his face. Once Goggles lit up his tail, the bright flash of light went directly into the feral teenager's eyes and he instantly felt the harsh sting.

"YOW!" he yelped as he threw Goggles towards Rahzar to use both of his hands to rub his eyes.

That was when G seized his chance, while everyone was distracted by Ezekiel painful squeal, he then knocked the gun out of Scanty's hand, grabbed a handful of blue powder from his vest pocket and blew it in her face. After that Scanty suddenly felt woozy and quickly collapsed to the ground, instantly falling unconscious. However G didn't stop there, before anyone else had time to react, his metal hand shot out of its base like a grappling hook, which then curled up into a fist and delivered a hard punch directly into Rahzar's maw and sent him flying off the van and knocking him out, allowing G to catch Goggles before he fell into a Warg's mouth. However while Goggles would have expected G to simply run away with him in his arm, the unexpected then happened, as soon as G's cybernetic hand retracted back into his wrist he then, to everyone's surprise tossed him over the crowd of villains and back over the wall of Bree.

"G, YOU ASSHOLE!" Goggles screamed as he continued to fall.

However unbeknownst to the villains on the other side of the gate, Goggles being thrown was all part of the plan, for a few seconds before hitting the ground the Gizmonk suddenly found himself enveloped in a magical blue aura, the same of which was being pulsated from Nyx's horn as she quickly caught Goggles mere inches from the mud below him.

"Since when were you such a potty mouth?" Nyx giggles as she released Goggles from her magic, allowing him to safely land.

While Goggles continued to grumble under his breath after being used as a baseball, on the other side of the gate, G was smiling that he was finally out of harm's way. Now that part of the plan was complete, he can finally cut loose and start dishing out his true power, but first…

"Catch me if you can!" he yelled as he jumped twenty feet into the air and landed just behind the villains.

Before they knew it, G was already running away from both the Villains and the village of Bree.

With Scanty out of commission for the moment, Grishnakh took advantage of his military position and took command of the villains.

"Some of you stay here and guard that contraption!" he yelled, pointing at the van. "We don't want his friends coming to the rescue again."

On that command, most of the orcs then proceeded to follow G down the road, leaving only a few of their kind, along with Porche, Hamburg, and the still recovering Ezekiel to guard the van, the only other beings are the unconscious forms of Scanty and Rahzar. At first it appeared that Grishnakh's orcs had things under control, however what they didn't realise that G's plan had TWO parts to it, while G rescued Goggles and led the other villains away, he had a couple of new recruits put the powers he gave them to good use for whoever was stupid enough to stay behind.

"Hey what that soooooooouuuuuuu..." Porche tried to say as she heard the sweet melody resonating in her ears, only to have her voice fail her as she began to feel sleepy.

Suddenly before anyone even realised what was happening, each and every one of the guards were collapsing to the ground into a deep sleep. The only one who didn't seem to be effected by the beautiful vocals was Ezekiel, who was still rubbing his eyes with pain as he clambered off the van, either it was because he was tone-deaf or he was too distracted by the pain in his eyes to take notice of the song, even if the ones singing it were right behind him. Suddenly he felt someone tap his shoulder and turned around, finally getting some vision back in his eyes, Ezekiel then gasped in horror as he saw a familiar looking face staring down at him.

"Hey Zeke, remember me?" Chef chuckled, cracking his knuckles as the Dazzlings stood on either side of him with evil smirks across their faces. "You wanna know why they call me Chef Hatchet, boy?"

At this point, all Ezekiel could do now was gulp.

#

It must have been at least ten minutes of running before someone had finally managed to catch up to G, that person being Bebop as he used his energy beams to glide in front of him and block his path.

"Gotcha!" he chuckled as the rest of the villains began surrounding G again.

Once again, G found himself in the centre of a huge crowd of orcs, Wargs and villains, all of whom were looking at him with sinister intent, however despite this, G kept his smirk upon his face.

"Any last words?" Grishnakh mocked, ready to bring his club crashing down into G's head.

"Just two…" G replied, suddenly striking a pose. "HIT IT!"

Suddenly, before anyone knew it, G then kicked Grishnakh in the face, causing him to fly off into a nearby tree and in turn causing enough of a distraction for everyone to turn their heads, once everyone turned back towards him, G had somehow changed his clothes within a matter of seconds. Now he was wearing a pair of cream pants, a blue frilly shirt with a red ascot, and a black sombrero hat, not only that but somehow there was a spotlight on him that seemed to be shining from nowhere in particular and a bunch of lively music was playing from the same origin. Next thing G did was pull out a pair of maracas from inside his shirt and to everyone's confusion, started dancing to the music, followed by a lively sing to the tune being played:

G:

They call me Cuban Pete

I'm the king of the rumba beat

When I play the maracas I go

Chick-chicky-boom chick-chicky-boom

Yes sir, I'm Cuban Pete

I'm the craze of my native street

When i start to dance everything goes

Chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom

To say that the orcs and the villains were confused by this sudden musical number would have been an understatement, there was no reason for it, all anyone could really do now was just stare with their jaws dropped. However there were also a few members of the crowd that seemed to be finding the musical number a little catchy so much so that they were moving their shoulders and/or hips along with the tune, in Bebop's case it was both since he could never resist a funky tune. However they each tried to shake off the urge to dance as G continued to sing.

G:

The senioritas they sing

And they swing with "terampero"

It's very nice - so full of spice

And when they dance in they bring

A happy ring that "era keros"

Are singing a song

All the day long

So if you like the beat

Take a lesson from Cuban Pete

And I'll teach you to

Chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom

It was then that G began to take the song into a new level, tossing his maracas to the side and taking his dancing into the crowd of orcs, most of whom were now beginning to give into their urges and started dancing along with him. They didn't know WHY they would do such a thing, after all no orc has ever danced to music in the history of Middle-Earth, but for some reason they found the music quite… infectious, and they just couldn't help themselves. Even Bebop and Rocksteady couldn't help but cut loose with the tune, Bebop especially judging from the way he was busting a move. The only one who tried to remain stoic was Ranamon, however G soon sought to that by reluctantly placing a kiss on her hand and offering her a dance, at that moment she felt so happy that she couldn't help but blush as she joined in with the song along with everyone else.

RANAMON:

He's a really modest guy

Although he's the hottest guy

In havana, in havana

G:

Si, seniorita i know

That you would like a chicky-boom-chick

BEBOP + ROCKSTEADY:

It's very nice - so full of spice

G:

I'll place my hand on your hip

And if you will just give me your hand

Then we shall try

Just you and I

Ai Ai Ai

At this point G was dancing the Tango with Ranamon, who was gladly accepting his movements with such passion that she simply ignored everything else around them. Before long though G then sun Ranamon around until they both separated and Ranamon was lost into the crowd of orcs. However while there was excitement on the ground, hanging high up on the branch of the the tree where G kicked him, Grishnakh was looking at his army with pure fury.

"YOU IDIOTIC SCUM!" he yelled, only to be ignored by his own comrades. "SOMEONE HELP ME DOWN!"

However the orcs simply continued to dance along with G, completely oblivious to what else was going on as G sang the final verse.

So if you like the beat

Take a lesson from Cuban Pete

And I'll teach you to

Chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom

With that final verse, G then proceeded to follow through with the final part of his plan and began leading everyone into a conga line, with G taking the lead, then Ranamon, then an orc, then Bebop, and so on. By the time the rest of G's group came driving by in the van, he was leading all the orcs, and even some of the Wargs in what looked like a flash mob, leaving all of their jaws dropped. Finally G finished his role in the plan and ran away from the still dancing crowd.

"See ya!" he said, being completely ignored by the oblivious crowd of orcs as they continued to dance to the still playing music.

After that, G quickly made his way towards the van as Laura opened the side door to let him in, it was a tight squeeze with all the extra people inside but G managed to fit since Edward was once again in the passenger's seat in front while Chef took the wheel.

"Alright, let's go," Nyx said once G was inside.

Giving a nod, Chef then stepped on the gas as Laura closed up the van and made a U-turn, driving back down the road from where they came and leaving the orcs finish of their little dance number.

"Next stop: new realm!" G declared, much to everyone's relief, most of whom bracing themselves for what was about to happen next. However what they didn't realise when they once again drove by the front gate of Bree, a certain wolf mutant was regaining consciousness.

"Ugh…" he groaned as he rubbed his jaw. "Why that little…"

Suddenly Rahzar stopped mid-sentence and his eyes snapped wide as he saw what became of the other villains around him. While most of the orcs were nowhere to be seen, some were spread out across the ground, snoring like animals, once he got a better look Rahzar also saw that Porche, Hamburg and Scanty were in the same state, not only that but Ezekiel was hanging from a low branch of a tree, bound in rope and gagged like a piece of meat hanging from a hook. Realising that this could only mean one thing, Rahzar snarled ferociously like a beast as he snapped his head towards the passing van, which began to pick up speed.

"Oh no you don't," he growled, getting on all fours and taking off after the van.

Meanwhile, those inside the van prepared themselves for what was about to happen as per G's instructions, as Chef continued to press his foot down on the accelerator everyone else aside from the Dazzlings got a familiar vibe as G's eyes once again began to shine a brilliant white and a familiar blue energy began to pulsate out of his body, through his hands and into the van, electrifying it once more.

"Here we go!" he yelled.

With the van now going at top speed, everyone then once again screamed as another light blue crack of light appeared in front of the van, allowing the vehicle to once again begin its strange new travel towards an unknown destination.

#

In another part of the multiverse of creation, seconds after leaving Middle-Earth, the van then burst through another crack, which sealed up just as fast as it appeared, and landed onto another forest, however this one was less thick than the previous one and was able to allow the van to drive through easily. Inside the metal vehicle, everyone was celebrating another successful jump through the multiverse.

"Alright!" Chef cheered. "We made it!"

That was but one of the many cheers of delight from everyone inside the van, not only were they out of the ancient era of Middle-Earth, but they also gave the villains the slip, and the fact that they couldn't follow was beyond wonderful. However that thought quickly left their heads as soon as they saw what had just appeared on the front window.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Sonata screamed as Rahzar smashed his fist through the glass.

As it turned out, mere seconds before the van managed to go through the crack, Rahzar was able to narrowly catch up and jump onto the roof just before it jumped through, with nobody even realising he was there due to the van shaking so much from the journey through. Now here he was clinging onto the roof while it was still in motion, eyeing G with a fierce glare as he tried to reach inside through the smashed glass.

"You are not escaping from me again!" he screamed, narrowly missing G with every swipe.

As Rahzar continued to swipe and miss every time, everyone inside was desperately trying to keep as far back as possible, with Chef and Edward being in the most danger since they were in the front seats. However what Rahzar failed to notice, was the fact that while he kept his eyes on G, his anger blinded him to what was coming up ahead, something that G couldn't help but smirk at once he managed to catch a glimpse.

"Eyes forward, Butt-horn!" he cried, catching the mutant's attention pointing his bony finger towards what was ahead of the van.

"Huh?" Rahzar responded confusingly, before looking up and gasping in horror upon seeing the sheer drop that was drawing closer and closer. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Before anyone else knew it, Chef then slammed his foot on the brake and Rahzar was thrown off the roof of the van and over the edge of the cliff, thankfully the van managed to come to a complete stop on the dry earth just before they followed him down. The last anyone saw of Rahzar, he was letting off a howl of fear as he fell over the cliff and into the raging sea below, leaving everyone in the van to absorb what had just happened.

"Everyone okay?" G asked, hoping that no one was hurt.

"I think so," Nyx replied, her eyes still spinning in her head.

"We're good," Adagio added, rubbing her throbbing head and speaking for her two sisters.

Even Chef and Edward were okay, despite being the closest towards Rahzar during his attempted assault, thankfully Chef's military training prepared him to face such trauma and Edward was able to shake everything off easily. After stepping out of the van, G then rushed towards the edge of the cliff to see what became of Rahzar, however all he saw below was the crashing waves of the sea, whatever dimension they landed in now it would seem that the group had arrived somewhere along the coast. With curiosity getting the better of them, everyone else then jumped out of the van and looked over the edge of the cliff too, however like G all they saw was water, even Sonata had to be pulled back by Adagio and Aria before she leaned over too far to try and catch even a small glimpse.

"I can't believe that's the second wolf in a row we threw over a cliff," Goggles commented, causing a small chuckle from G.

Of course G wasn't happy that Rahzar followed them into the new realm, worse that he ended up getting tossed over a cliff mere seconds after arriving, but G also knew that he had survived worse than this and decided to brush it off for now, after all the sooner the group leaves, the sooner Rahzar will be able to lose their scent when he finally resurfaces.

"Yeah well let's hope it doesn't become a running gag for us," he responded. "Alright everyone, back in the…"

However before G couldn't finish his sentence, he heard a loud clang from behind him, turning around the group then saw what made it as the front bumper fell off the van… then the back bumper, then the driver's door, finally the entire van collapsed upon it's on wheels and steam squirted out of the engine, revealing the amount of real damage the van had taken the whole time G and the group had it.

"…van?" G gasped, not really having anything else he could say upon seeing what has become of the group's only means of travel.

"I… guess we're walking," Goggles commented, even HE couldn't fix that amount of damage.

Letting off a heavy sigh of disappointment, G then proceeded to take a steady pace towards the nearest road, quickly followed by the equally irritated group.
