Disclaimer: I don't own anything. This is just a story for fun.
Fern, Gata, and BMO were walking down a hallway aboard the Cash Cruiser, when Py-Ro came flying down the hallway laughing and setting things on fire. The evil mask flew over the trio and set Fern's head on fire! Fern cried out in both surprise and fear as he batted at the flames. Gata saw a nearby fire extinguisher on the wall and quickly grabbed it and used it to put the flames out.
"You ok?" Asked Gata with concern.
"I'm fine, but how did that mask get out of the shop?" Said Fern.
"Who knows, but I have a feeling it wasn't the only thing that got out of the shop." Said Gata.
The three heroes decided to chase after Py-Ro and went after him.
In the conference room, Hu$tlebone$ was showing the Gods and Sorrows a list of the various New Gods at the Lady Lucktopus Casino. There was Daniel the God of Gambling, Block, Chain, and Meta the Gods of Bittercoin, George the God of Pills, Sung the God of Screens, Kimmy the God of Idols, Tommy the God of Plushies, Nick and Hunt the Gods of Racing, Colt the God of Guns, McFamily the God of Fast Food, Laero the Goddess of Makeup, and Argus the God of Darknet. All the New Gods were tough plus they were being backed by a powerful demon and who knows what else. Hu$tlebone$ knew this attack of his was a real gamble, but he had confidence in the both his crew and his allies.
It was then things started to go crazy as the boat suddenly began to rock like crazy as if it was in a storm. Hu$tlebone$ and the others immediately knew something was wrong and they all headed to the main deck to see what was going on. They found the Elemental Masks floating in the air as the ship was battered with waves and strong winds curtsey of Wa-Wa and Lo-Lo. Gata, Fern, BMO, Heckapoo, and Wizard stood on the deck facing the masks. Py-Ro noticed the arrival of Hu$tlebone$ and his allies and chuckled.
"Well look who it is. It's the bonehead that locked us up! Now we can get a little payback!" Said Py-Ro.
"How'd theses freaks get out of the shop?" Asked Hu$tlebone$ looking at Wizard.
"Someone must have undone the spell on the shop and broke the masks out." Said Wizard.
"Well it looks like we have four elemental masks and you have four elemental gods on your side. Leave this to us Hu$tlebone$." Said Raijin as she cracked her knuckles and pulled out two metal hammers that sparked with electricity.
A black cloud appeared next to Raijin as she jumped onto it and some Taiko drums appeared hovering around her. The three other Gods took up fighting stances.
"This'll be fun." Said Pyrrhon.
Tiamat used her power to jump over the ship's railing into the water to calm it down, while the other Gods flew up to fight the Elementals. The water calmed down due to Tiamat, so Wa-Wa dove into the water to fight her and make the water go crazy again. Pyrrhon faced off against Py-Ro, Raijin faced off against Lo-Lo, and Medjed faced off against Rok-Ko. It was a battle of destructive nature.
Waves summoned by both Tiamat and Wa-Wa slammed into each other. Flames from Pyrrhon and Py-Ro collided with each other. Wind blew and lightning flashed as Raijin and Lo-Lo fired at each other. Rok-Ko summoned large slaps of rocks and hurled them at Medjed, who fired lasers at them and destroyed them.
"This is something." Said Hu$tlebone$ in awe of the fight.
"I'm going to look around the ship to make sure they're aren't ant more magical items on the loose and recast the spell on the shop." Said Wizard.
"Will help you out." Said Gata.
"Thank you. We can use all the help we can get." Said Wizard.
Wizard left the scene followed by Gata, BMO, and Fern. That just left Hu$tlebone$, Lami, the Sorrows, and a few brave passengers to watch the fight between Gods and Elementals. As the fighting continued Major Pliskhan began to see this as a perfect opportunity to betray the Gods and take them down for King Dice. Major Pliskhan made sure no one was paying attention to him or the other Sorrows before he called them in for a group huddle.
"Well gentlemen it seems luck is on out side. The Gods are busy fighting some powerful enemies and we now have the golden opportunity to take them down with a surprise attack." Said Major Pliskhan.
"How do you propose we do that?" Asked Krank.
"With a mixture of viruses, pollution, and drugs." Said Major Pliskhan with a cruel smile.
The other Sorrows smiled. Maxxx produced some syringes filled with drugs and gave them to Krank and Grimes. Krank poured some viruses into the syringes and Grimes put some of his toxic goo into them. Major Pliskhan conjured up a sniper rifle and loaded the syringes into it. He then waited for the perfect opportunity to shoot.
At the back of the boat, Chi, Kai, Nyx, Ying, Alcor, and Elise were hanging out and snacking on some food, when Cross-Stitch flew onto the scene and began to throw chairs, tables, and food around with his magic causing chaos. Gata, BMO, Fern, Heckapoo, and Wizard arrived on the scene and went after Cross-Stitch. The magic glove used his magic to send several tables and chairs flying at the group, only to have them flung away by a small tornado summoned by Wizard or sliced to bits by a grass sword by Fern and a few scissors swings by Heckapoo. Gata conjured up a portal to jump through and reappeared behind Cross-Stitch and grabbed him. Cross-Stitch tried to zap Gata, but Wizard zapped him with a spell that left him immobilized.
"Well that's one magic glove neutralized. Let's see what else we can find." Said Wizard.
The little group of hunters continued to search the ship for magic items running about.
Back with the fight between Gods and Elementals, the Elementals began to realize they were getting overpowered and beaten, so they decided to switch opponents and go after their polar opposite element. Py-Ro went after Tiamat, Wa-Wa went after Pyrrhon, Lo-Lo went after Medjed, and Rok-Ko went after Raijin. The change in opponents took the Gods by surprise at first, but they managed to hold their own. Unfortunately things were about to drastically change. Major Pliskhan aimed his sniper rifle and fired.
Bang!
The first syringe shot hit Pyrrhon in the chest! Pyrrhon stared down at the syringe in confusion as he felt himself become sick and weak. Wa-Wa took advantage of this opportunity to blast Pyrrhon with a water jet that slammed the Sun God hard onto the deck.
Major Pliskhan fired another shot and struck Tiamat in the neck. Tiamat cried out in surprise as she felt herself grow weak and sick. Py-Ro blasted the water near the Goddess with intense fire making it explode and throw Tiamat onto the deck.
At this time Hu$tlebone$ and Lami had noticed what Major Pliskhan was doing.
"What the heck?! Stop that!" Yelled Hu$tlebone$ as he and Lami tried to stop the Sorrows.
Grimes's arm enlarged and stretched out to slam into Lami pinning her to the deck and Krank slammed his large claw into Hu$tlebone$ knocking him to the ground allowing Grimes to pin him to the ground with his other arm. Major Pliskhan went back to shooting.
The next shot struck Medjed in the leg. Medjed felt himself go weak as his eye beams died down. Lo-Lo struck Medjed with lightning and he collapsed to the deck in a heap.
Major Pliskhan fired another shot striking Raijin in the rear. Raijin cried out in surprise as she felt herself become sick and weak and her lightning died down. Rok-Ko struck the Goddess with a large rock knocking her off her cloud and onto the deck.
"Well that takes care of that." Said Major Pliskhan as he prepared to put the sniper rifle away.
"I'm not done!" Roared Raijin as she shot to her feet and began to race towards the Sorrows.
Major Pliskhan quickly fired a few more shots at Raijin sticking her in the belly and shoulders, but the God still kept charging forward, until she reached Grimes and punched him in the face sending him flying and crashing into a wall with a splat and freeing Hu$tlebone$ and Lami. Krank rushed at Raijin and struck her with his big claw, but she quickly recovered and grabbed the giant crab and hurled him at Major Pliskhan, who dove to the side to avoid being crushed. Maxxx appeared behind Raijin and tried to stab her in the back with some syringes full of drugs, but Hu$tlebone$ knocked him away with a blow from his staff. Raijin felt her vision go a little blurry as she focused on Major Pliskhan, who was now pulling out a rocket launcher. The God let out an angry bellow as she charged forward to attack, but the Elementals decided to get involved and attack her. Py-Ro, Wa-Wa, Lo-Lo, and Rok-Ko each fired an attack and struck Raijin. Raijin cried out in pain as she was struck by the attack. She took a few more steps towards Major Pliskhan before she collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Well she was a stubborn one." Said Major Pliskhan as he put away his rocket launcher.
The other Sorrows recovered and regrouped around Major Pliskhan. The Elementals floated above the Sorrows and they all faced Hu$tlebone$ and Lami.
"Which is the meaning of this Major Pliskhan?! Why are you betraying us?!" Demanded an enraged Hu$tlebone$.
"We were offered a better deal by the ones you were planning to attack. A new age is coming Hu$tlebone$ and were sick of you and these other Old Gods." Said Major Pliskhan.
"So what happens now?" Asked Lami.
"We're going to take your beaten friends to the casino, I sure the New Gods and our employer have a special plan for them. As for you, will just let the Elementals handle you." Said Major Pliskhan as he pulled out a remote and pressed a button on it.
A long and wide black submarine rose up out of the water and pulled up alongside the Cash Cruiser. Grimes, Krank, and Maxxx picked up the defeated Gods and jumped on. Major Pliskhan gave a salute to Hu$tlebone$ and Lami and jumped on the submarine as well. The sub pulled away from the boat and left the scene.
"Now it's time for a little fun." Said Py-Ro as he and the other Elementals surrounded Lami and Hu$tlebone$.
"Look, your beef is with me. Leave my girl out of this." Said Hu$tlebone$.
"Fine." Said Py-Ro.
Lo-Lo knocked Lami to the side with a gust of wind and then he and the other Elementals began to attack Hu$tlebone$. The captain was lifted into the air with a gust of wind and was repeatedly struck with water blasts, lightning, sharp rocks, and fire. Lami could only watch the scene in horror. After a few minutes the bombardment finally stopped and Hu$tlebone$ was dropped to the ground. Hu$tlebone$ was completely blackened and Burt with multiple cracks on his bony body, his robe was reduced to rags, and his hat, sunglasses, and jewelry were gone.
"That was fun, but now we must go and cause chaos elsewhere," said Py-Ro.
With that said the Elementals flew off as Lami went over to Hu$tlebone$ body and began to weep.
As all that was going down, Carla was clawing her way through the ship hallways wearing the Mask of Dark Earth, which had caused her to grow even more in size. Carla was searching for Undyne and Gata, when she came across Toriel and Jenka. The crazed mermaid smiled nastly at the two and lunged at them, only to be met with an armored fist to the face that sent her reeling back. Carla glared at the one that hit her and saw it was Undyne.
"Looks like someone has grown." Said Undyne.
"I'm going to kill you this time Undyne!" Declared Carla as she charged forward.
Undyne kept a cool composure as she conjured up one of her spears and then she threw it with incredible force and accuracy at the onrushing enemy. The spear hit Carla in the chest and went right through her instantly killing the mermaid. Carla let out a weak gasp as she collapsed to the ground dead and began to shrink down to her normal size. The Mask of Dark Earth pulled itself from Carla's face and tried to escape, but Jenka slammed her cane down on it and shot a spell into that immobilized the mask.
"Carla was a violent fool chasing after love." Said Undyne looking at the dead mermaid.
Undyne recognized the Mask of Dark Earth from the shop and decided it needed to be taken back. She, Toriel, and Jenka reached the shop, when an announcement was made over the intercom by Lami.
"Attention passengers. There has been a terrible incident. Several magical items from the shop here have escaped and the caption is in critical condition. We will still continue our course to the Lady Lucktopus Casino, but it's going to be longer then we originally anticipated. That is all."
The trip just seemed to keep getting rougher and longer by the hour.
To be continued.
