#Opehlia the Monitor Lizard

[the-fourth-knower]

Because I've come up with LORE for this, I will now add it.

The Sonic Underground were chatting up the mercenary lizard Ophelia, and she revealed to them the existence of Bouncer's Funtime Palace! A place that, contrary to the name, was anything BUT fun. In fact it was a grueling obstacle course, sometimes veering on torture with how rough it was to make it halfway, let alone to the end!

OF course, this was Ophelia talking about it. And well, she's prone to exaggerating the truth. So off a group of them went - Sonic, Amy, Ovi, Nebula, Manic, Yuki, Sonia, Erco, Wesser, and Arura. It'd be pretty simple. Just get through the seven rooms, or was it floors, and make it to the end for a grand prize. Easy!

The first two floors were a joke. Easy for the group to get through.

Then came the Ball Pit. As in, a room with that was a giant pit, ringed with devices that fired out balls. Hard hitting balls, strong enough enough to knock someone senseless. Several of the party went down before the trick to the room was figured out. Things only got worse from there.

Finally the group made it before the entrance to the last room. What grand prize awaited, and what gruelling struggle lay before them?

As it turned out, a giant bowling ball. That bowled right into them, scattering them back down the hall way. If that wasn't enough to turn the lights out for them, then the sleeping gas that followed after did them in. Leaving their battered, worn out bodies strewn about the hall in slumber. At least until the clean up crew arrived.

In short order, the Underground troop was loaded up into a Body Removal Crate - really, a repurposed dumpster - and left outside for pick up. Lucky for them, they had a good friend on stand by to get them.

Ophelia passed by the Underground wanted posters (crudely drawn ones at that) and strolled right up to the BRC. Leaning against the dumpster with one arm resting on its top, she couldn't help the wide smirk that decorated her face.

"So! Bouncer's Palace sure is a barrel of laughs, isn't it? Guess it was too much fun for you lot to handle. But hey, next time you'll think twice when I warn you and end up having the last laugh!"

The group could only offer a tired groan of protest, though it may be fairer to say that one or two of them moved in their sleep at that time. With a low chuckle to herself, Ophelia slid her guitar out from its case. A few strums later, and off the dumpster went, pushed along by Ophelia's magic.

She was so going to rub this into their faces later.
