Ch11: The Grossest Monster EVER!
"Gross!" I exclaimed after hitting the giant mosquito and getting its guts all over me. "GROSS!" I almost puked when the disembodied monster spewed green slime all over me. "GRROOOSSS!" I screeched when I actually fell in the disgusting water. (good thing I had the knowledge of 'water safety'...) "Sylvia... I didn't know you were a germaphobe," Sly pointed out after the last one. We were on our way to the center of Mz. Ruby's facility when he said that. "You try being a girl that hates disgusting places!" I groaned.
"Wake up you lazy bags of swamp gas!" said none other than the voodoo mama herself. I could tell it was via some kind of telepathy since there was no microphone feedback and she couldn't have electricity here. "The voodoo vibe is big tonight! While I go and gather this powerful mojo, you'll be preparin' to take over Mexico by mornin'! You hear me voodoo children? Soon our family of souls is gonna grow, GROW, GROOOWWW!"
"Sounds like she's going senile," I frowned, looking at which way I should go. I really didn't want to go to the giant snake, but fate was not on my side today. "Hey, I'm gonna handle over here while you go to that area with the vine, okay Sylvia?" Sly asked, pointing me in the direction of the giant snake's dwelling. "O-Okay..." I gulped, trying not to falter because of an obvious fear.
After reaching the area, I was met by the gate. "What's with this Industrial Strength Voodoo Gate?" Bentley asked. "Mz. Ruby must really be trying to keep something out." "Or maybe she's trying to keep something hideously dangerous IN." I said, emphasis on the 'in.' Either way, I did as usual by collecting the bottles and scaling the tower. I then rode down the vine and stopped at the area halfway down that held some bottles.
After riding it down the rest of the way, I readied my cane and started to slice my way through the horde of spiders that dangled from out of nowhere. "I hate spiders!" I groaned, climbing the tree by use of the rail walk, collecting the bottles that were on the way. After that I leaped my way down the trees, reaching the area with the reeds. Then they began to move.
"Wait... did you see those reeds move? There's something huge under there! You better get going!" Bentley said, his worry not helping me at all. I smashed the mosquitoes a new one and climbed the tree, once again getting the bottles as I rode down to the large area where he'd emerge. "Okay... time to run!" I gulped, jumping on the branches as I heard the monster roar from behind me.
"No you don't!" I glared, running faster via the speed up clock ability. I would have used the ability to have electric rolling that Sly and I got from the first area if the road to run away with wasn't entirely made up of rail walking.
With one final leap and every bottle in my possession, I hid myself as the large snake monster gave up the chase and retreated back into the grime and muck of his dwelling. "Phew... man that guy was ugly!" I groaned, jumping across the small ledge and getting the code for the vault. "Aha! A more modern entry!" Bentley said. "The computer hacking technique! Now I can give you the information of various guards when you look at them in your Binocucom!" I forced a smile, since it was pretty much just an entertainment accessory.
After I had finished there, I was warped back to the center and met back up with Sly. "Did you get the keys?" I asked him. "Yep! And I also got the blueprints for the entirety of Mz. Ruby's production facility," he smiled. "Nice! I got the computer hacking technique... think it's not really gonna help me much though..." If frowned, "Unless of course Bentley can use it. I've never been a computer savvy person." "It's quite alright," Sly smiled. "By the way, do you wanna do the honor of using the keys?"
I had to gulp at that as he gave me one of his. "O-Okay... just get down after I unlock it," I frowned, hoping he would. With one single swoop, I opened the industrial cage door and let loose the monster, which roared a green breathe of grossness as it flew over us and into the barrier that was in front of us. It roared once again and went back into its cage, just like in the game. "What the hell was that?!"Sly exclaimed in shock. "Just the grossest monster in the world!" I groaned, helping him up from the ground. "And now you owe me two dates. He tried to eat me when I was in there!" I frowned. "Okay. Two dates it is."
