(Alvin's POV) Okay, now I'm sure that we're royally screwed, Simon's stupid machine thing just sent us to only God knows where, our phones have no service or radar out here, Dave will probably kill us for this, and worst of all...Simon's nerd ass is talking again! (Can someone or something please stop this torture!?) I'm too handsome to die out in the middle of nowhere, and I don't want my gravestone to be something like, "R.I.P. Alvin Seville, died of starvation and boredom." That's damn awful! If I am gonna die, make it something COOLER at least! I listened to Jeanette and Simon go at it for a bit in nerdy ass speak for a few minutes...it's starting to get to my head, like my blood is boiling...no, literally, it FEELS like something is boiling. (Holy hell, is it getting hot for me, or what?)
Maybe it's my aura, probably too cool for these three dumbasses, but yeah, I'm starting to feel it, and...see it? The grass I'm standing on is charred, and there's some sort of orange aura line around my body, along with slight stars in my vision.(Am I dying already now?) It kept going, before I eventually shouted out in both pain from this sudden heat, and annoyance hearing the two, sending a column of... what looked like FIRE, upwards before it dissipates, and the orange aura is gone. Everyone's staring at me like some sort of monster or alien, but I know exactly why, did I just DO THAT? I looked at my hands before I looked at the other three, I wasn't sure what I just did.
(Jeanette's POV) Did Alvin just create fire? Holy hell, since when could he DO THAT?! (Yes I know, he never could, but still!) I would think that I was dreaming, but, it looks like Eleanor and Simon looked and saw exactly what I did just now. The three of us looked at each other in shock, and some awe, before we looked back at Alvin again. I am a little mad that Alvin burned grass for zero reason, but I don't think he meant to do that now anyways, plus that is not the main focus right now.
"Alvin- what did you just do-?" I spoke out with bated breath, slightly staying a bit farther back from Alvin now that I thought about what just happened. Sure, it's Alvin...but...I don't exactly want to be barbecued alive, thank you.
"I- uh...what-? What just happened now-?" Alvin replied to me, but he looked confused and somewhat afraid of what happened. Even his ego didn't hide anything this time. Looks like it's not something that even HE planned for.
"Alvin, did you just conflagrate- from NOTHING-?!" Simon already shouted out now. Of course he'd see this as some sort of scientific breakthrough, but Alvin jumped a bit, shrugging it off. Nobody really knew, not even him. Simon's looking excited already despite our predicament, he's hooked onto this. Really now? Alvin's a walking flamethrower, and he's jumping to science as is. This idiot, I swear...
But the excitement is cut short, we hear what sounds like a shrill, high pitched scream. Huh. Sounds like Brittany if she woke up ugly one day. (Which she does every day, I swear-) Nope, it's Theodore, running across the fields, and tearing after him through the grass, looked like some sort of...bull shaped creature? Whatever the hell this thing is, but, alongside that, with the body of a normal bull, it had giant arms on either side of it, reaching out, looking like they were ready to grasp onto Theodore and pop him like a grape. Yeah, I don't know how we were supposed to take this in now. That's certainly not a real animal, but we're in some other world, soo...
Anyways, we all looked equally shocked and confused at the whole thing, but before the three of us can react, that weird orange aura surrounded Alvin again, seemingly out of desperate emotion, and he shot off in a blaze of a fire in the air, with an exhaust smoke trail, which burned through the grass he went through in the field, and it smelled like a lit grill, unsurprisingly. The three of us watch as Alvin, now flying down with this fire trail and aura around him, caught up to and intercepted the bull monster looking thing, shooting off a blazing fire trail, which ignited the creature, causing it to stop, tumbling before it reared up, flailing around before Alvin circled around in the air, putting it down with two more blasts of the fire beams, and it lay dead, smoldering, as Alvin flew down, grabbing Theodore, and flying him back up to the hill with us. Great, now he's a super nuisance.
(Theodore's POV) Oh god, oh no- What the hell is THAAAAAAAAATT!? WHERE EVEN AM I- WHAT'S GOING ON-?! That's what I WAS thinking while I'm hauling ass at the moment from this thing. I showed up here after some blinding blue bright light blinded me from outside, and now I'm in a field, running from- WHAT IS THAT? OH GOD IT'S GAINING ON ME-!
I kept running as much as I could, until I saw...ALVIN? FLYING? ON FIRE-!? WHAT IS HAPPENING?I had no time to ask that question though, thankfully, this flying, set on fire, "Human Torch" bootleg looking ass Alvin came down and helped me with his weird fire powers or whatever those are, he put the thing down in three fire blasts, I saw as I looked back. I had no time to watch, he grabbed me and flew me upwards to a hill...OH THANK GOODNESS- Jeanette, Simon, and Eleanor are here too, so I'm not just alone here. Alvin put me down and we joined the others, but I had no idea what was going on, just catching my breath and wondering, what did these four do now?
After a bit, I finally spoke up before anyone else, Alvin's fire had gone away now.
"What. In the name of God. WAS ALL THAT-!?" I exclaimed out without hesitation, and all eyes immediately went towards...Simon. (Oh, of course!) His stupid scientific experiment things got us trapped in some weird...alternate dimension, or whatever, there's giant ass bull monster things looking to kill people, and...Alvin has superpowers now.
Great, just great. This seems like a dream I'd have after letting Brittany try to make something and reluctantly trying it. (Note to self, never going to do that dumb decision ever again, she can NOT cook at all-) Anyways, after a few minutes of burning, that bull monster giant thing turned to dust and crumbled. All of us watch as letters appear over Alvin's head now.
[πΌπ‘π«ππ£ πππ«ππ‘π‘π πππ¨ ππππππ©ππ πππ«ππ‘ 1 "πππππ£π©ππͺπ§". 100 πππ ππππ£ππ, 0/1 π‘ππ«ππ‘π¨ π§ππππππ.]
What-? Level one "Gigantaur?" What the hell did THAT mean-? Are we in some kind of video game world or whatever-? I would say it was cool, but, I mean, after what just chased and nearly gored me to death, I wouldn't exactly DOUBT that now...
Whatever this is, I'm not exactly too into it, but as the others are doing, I'm also looking as there's this weird looking menu image thing above Alvin's head, which he brought down to eye level with him now.
[Name: Alvin Seville]
[HP: 150/150]
[Trait: Burn]
[Location: Mainland]
Mainland? So that's what...this place is that I was running across, and I'm guessing where everyone else appeared in as well is called. Huh. Guess we'll remember that. Anyways, I'd have looked back at the others by now, though it seems like Alvin's menu thing is gone. We've got other problems to worry about besides a video game prompt, however.
"Okay...GUI aside, there's still something up. If we all showed up, yeah, we're all here, except for...Brittany. Anybody got ideas on where she could have gone?" Alvin spoke up again, looks like the topic changed from the menu, and he's right. Brittany hasn't showed up, meaning that she's not here with the rest of us. To be fair, Brittany wasn't outside, but then again...neither was I, and yet I'm here with the others. So, where's Brittany now-? I did remember running past some weird gray field looking thing a minute ago however.
"W-Well, I saw some sort of building looking things back there where I came from, maybe we could go looking there-?" I just threw this in as a suggestion, but seeing as everyone else was just as confused as I am, we all agreed on it, so we headed off in that direction, which surprisingly wasn't as far or as long as I remembered it being. We were at some sort of...town looking area in only a few minutes. It was a town, but it looked empty. What's weirder is that it's surrounded by some sort of bubble, so the world inside looks like it has no color at all.
(Simon's POV) We're at the settlement Theodore suggested we head off to, and it's certainly strange. The town looks to be surrounded by a field of some sort, and it's monochromatic inside. I checked the time with my own phone, and it looks to still be 12:09 PM, what the hell? That's what Eleanor said, several minutes ago. Either, the clocks on our phones are broken, or this place, this...Mainland, is just peculiar. I momentarily gave Eleanor a sideways glance, she seemed to recognize and noted that weird chronological halt as well. Amusing, lackluster, but certainly not an idiot. Anyways, We still had one objective: to find Brittany. So we all entered the town, which the weird monochromatic field thing wasn't solid, we walked right into it.
Thankfully, we did not also turn monochromatic as well, but the first thing we noticed is that...this town looks like the area we live in back home. Except...well, gray. There's buildings lined up, but hang on, one of those looks...familiar? It's an optician's building, or whatever the name was. Why was an eye doctor's facility here? Deciding that should be the first place to go in, we went into the building, much to the disdain of both Alvin and Eleanor. Theodore and Jeanette didn't seem to care, so we all went in, and low and behold, it's all gray inside too. We heard some sort of chattering noise, before...oh shit, there's some sort of...quadruped thing with human skin and a head, and...it looks like one of the random students from our school. What the hell?
[The Eyesaur]
[Rare Encounter]
(Eleanor's POV) The Eyesaur. That's just fine and dandy. What even IS that? It's some weird four legged looking thing, like a bad rendition of a dinosaur, but with human skin, three eyes, and a head, that looks like it belongs to some kid at our school, but I don't remember nor care who. It has a tail, but...oh ew, those are hands on the tail. Alvin's a bit slower to get on the offensive with his weird fire powers, I don't know why, maybe he got too chickened out, or somehow can't do it, but it doesn't matter. We watched it bound toward us, and I don't want to die to that thing, so I looked around, and well, there's a weird brown suitcase.
Not conventional, but who cares? I just proceed to single handedly pick the thing up, wow, it's a bit heavy, but it's still not much, and threw the damn thing sideways like a curveball at it. It staggered and stopped, I was NOT expecting that to do anything. Also, I know I have a good throwing arm, but how did I curveball a suitcase? It didn't work for long and I didn't have time to question it, now this thing is coming back down the hall towards us, Alvin finally manages to get his ability working and just started repeatedly swinging fireballs at it, which thankfully it's flammable, because it was now burning, and I guess it's not mindless, cause it stopped and whacked Alvin off his feet, but also turned and bolted back down the hallway. I did want to chase it, but I help Alvin up instead, there's no damage to him thankfully, and by the time we look up, it's gone.
So much for that. Or any hope at a peaceful journey. Whatever, it was kind of cool, if I have to admit. After that occurrence, we all headed into the room that the monster thing ran out from. That creature isn't here, but the room is intact, so it might have just vanished. Ah well, least we don't have to deal with it again. We just looked around the room, it's an eye doctor looking room, which was expected, seeing the outside of the building. Alvin, always the moron, was already fooling around. Apparently, he got into those display cases of glasses on the wall. The kind you would see at a regular eye doctor's. The glasses inside the cases weren't all gray and colorless like the rest of the world, which was weird enough. Alvin got his hands on some red, rectangular rimmed glasses and put them on. (of course he'd pick those up).
"Hey, look at these things. Wow, people who wear these see so WEIRDLY." There's Alvin talking before he thought, again. Considering the fact that there's Jeanette and Simon still here, and neither of the two looked too happy about the remark, it was his fault. Honestly, Alvin does look strange with those red glasses on. Not like he needed them, but still, they do NOT look right. Like he's a red copy of...Simon, or something. Alvin took them off, and stopped messing around, because we still needed to find Brittany, in wherever this place was. We leave that room, since there was one other room, going across the hall into it. It looked like a waiting lobby, even with one of those public bathrooms at the far end.
"You think she could be in here anywhere-?" I just sarcastically threw that one out, to be honest, none of us expected her to be anywhere in here, but it wouldn't hurt to check. I ended up checking both bathrooms. (Honestly, nobody else is here besides us, so who gives a damn about the gender assignments?) She's very obviously not in the men's bathroom, so I went into the woman's one and looked about. Stalls looked empty, and gray, like the rest of this place. I check the last stall, but I could have sworn either I was hallucinating, or there's someone in there. Stall door is locked, and I do not feel like crawling on ANY dirty ass bathroom floors. (Surprising for me, Eleanor, I know, come on. It's a BATHROOM FLOOR.)
I'm out of ideas, so I did the one thing that I could think of, and well, I kicked the door. Either a weak door, or I must have had one hell of a workout, because the door FLEW off the damn hinges and hit the wall, shattering the toilet. I almost immediately heard a "JESUS FUCK!" from inside the stall, and hang on, I recognize that voice, we all would. It's Brittany. She was inside the stall, thankfully to the side, or that would have killed her. "Brittany. Really? You were in HERE?" I spoke out with an exasperated sigh in my voice, but Brittany just looked like she was ready to drama queen it up, but I guess she saw the "no bullshit" look on my face, because she sighed and shrugged.
"Yeah, I was. There was some weird ass monster thing with three eyes, so I hid and locked myself in here, apparently it can't break down stall doors...WHICH YOU JUST FUCKING DID?! What the hell?" Okay, to be fair, even I didn't expect my kick to break the stall door off it's hinges, but then again, Alvin's got fire powers, so we can't really suspend anything on logic here, can we? Anyways, me and Brittany headed back, where the others were sitting in the lobby room waiting, Alvin's messing with a fireball, until I snapped my fingers to get the attention of the others.
(Alvin's POV) Well look at that, Eleanor's found Miss Bitchtits herself, well thankfully, that's done with. We've found Brittany at least. "The hell were you DOING, Britt?" I spoke up first, though I was almost immediately met with remark back from Brittany. "Keeping myself ALIVE from that THING that had me running about, "Et tu, Houe?" I literally had no idea whatever she just said, or what it was supposed to mean, but judging by the smirks on the faces of Jeanette and Eleanor, it was almost certainly an insult. I'm guessing in French, or whatever, I know Brittany speaks it. Damn that. "So what you can diss me in French? Doesn't change the fact that you were pussy enough to hide in a bathroom stall of all things." I smirked, and it looked like she didn't have a response to that, aside from sighing and ignoring it.
"You two are both 17 and 18. May we PLEASE get on with finding out things? Such as, how do we get back to our world?" Simon spoke up now, here we go, four eyes taking charge, though as much as I hated to admit it, I did want to get back to our world. After all, I was supposed to be going out with Eleanor today before this whole invention thing in the first place. Looks like she forgot, I looked dead at her, she just glanced away, looks like she knew for certain. I'll get to that later.
