Alone Together (Nandor the Relentless x Chubby Reader)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Moving to a new home to take care of your grandfather was one thing. But finding out that the neighbors are Vampires. Well nothing could prepare you for that. If only you noticed just how much attention Nandor gave you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi guys. I'm back at it again. I watched the newest season of What We do in the Shadows recently. Which reminded me of how much of a himbo Nador is. Including how quickly he falls in love. So it wasn't hard for him to become my muse.

Anywho, I hope you enjoy.

---------------------------------------------------------

Standing in the kitchen your gaze wandered to the window. The veiw was one you still hadn't gotten used to. Traveling halfway across the country can do that to you.

Turning back to the oatmeal that was bubbling away on the stove top, you stirred it. Spooning some into a couple of bowls, you set off for the living room.

“Here you go Papa.” Placing the bowl on a serving tray in front of him. You sat on the nearby couch, not yet eating.

He tore his eyes from the TV, playing old black and white reruns. Then frowned down at his breakfast. Placing his spoon in the oatmeal he scooped up a bit and let it fall back into the bowl. “Now I'm not one to complain.” You had to fight to keep the smile off of your face. “But honestly would it hurt to have something with a little more flavor?”

You let the smile slid onto your face as he finished. Heading to the kitchen you grabbed a jar of honey and started back. Only to give it a second thought, snatching up a tablespoon too. “I get where your coming from, really I do. But it's the doctor's orders, gotta watch your cholesterol.” Standing next to him you held out the jar. “I'll make you a deal. You can have a serving of this, if we watch something in color.” Noding he reaches for the jar. “That isn't the news.”

He deflated a bit at that, but still agreed. Then perked up suddenly and said. “Speaking of news, could you go grab the paper.”

“Sure, but I'm not leaving the honey.” Walking away, you chuckled at the mumbled obscenities that left his mouth.

Going out to grab the paper, you decided to check the mailbox as well. “Junk, junk, Bill, Nandor The Relentless?” It was an odd thing to see in a letter. Equally as bizarre was the ornate nature of the peice of mail. As you looked over the envelope, you realized that it wasn't your address. Glancing at the number's on the other nearby mailboxes, it seemed to match a neighbor's. It was the home that you had seen a nervous looking younger man. He was usually working on the yard or house. It was an older Gothic manor of a home, so the upkeep was probably brutal.

Heading back in you dropped the mail next to your grandfather's breakfast. Then turned and made for the front door again. “Going to give the neighbor's some of their mail we got.”

He nodded half heartedly as he stuck his nose in the newspaper. “OK, while your there see if they have something tastier for breakfast.”

“Yeah, yeah.” Waving your hand around, you beelined towards the mysterious letter owner. Not seeing anyone in the front yard, you made your way up to the front door and knocked. Glancing around the house as you waited, you couldn't help but admire the odd architecture. As you were about to knock again, thinking the home owner may not have heard you, the door swung open. It was the anxious guy and a camera crew? Raising a brow you held up the letter. “Hi, I live over there.” You pointed out your grandfather's house. “We got one of a piece of your mail, Mr. Nandor.” Holding it towards him, you smiled.

He seemed to be in a bit of a daze, until you moved the letter towards him. “Oh, thank you. I'm actually Guillermo, Nandor is my Master.” He seemed to flinch at his words and quickly changed the subject. “Isn't that Mr. Wilson's house. I didn't know he had moved.”

Shaking the odd feeling from your mind, you shook your head. “No, he's still there. He's my grandfather, after my grandmother passed. Well, I offered to move in and help out. It seems to be a good decision for both of us.”

He noticed how the smile slipped from your face as you explained. “I was sorry to hear about your grandmother's passing. I'm glad that Mr. Wilson has someone to count on.”

Your smile had returned at the statement. “That's if I can keep up with the old man. I'm (Y/N) by the way.” You held your hand out and was impressed with the grip his handshake had. “Speaking of, I should probably get back to the house. Before he sends out the search parties that is." Turning back towards your home, you threw a quick comment over your shoulder. “Hope to see you around."

This left a flustered Guillermo to rush back inside. Pushing the crew away from his flush expression, he made for his master's room. Placing the letter down on a nearby dresser. He left for his own room. To definitely not think about how great it would be to have someone outside of the vampire house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nandor was restless. Something was causing his slumber to constantly be interupted. That something happened to be a scent. The moment it entered his room he couldn't settle down. But his internal clock knew it was nowhere near sundown. So he tossed and turned, enduring the distraction.

“Morning Master.” Came the timid voice of Guillermo.

Before he could approach the coffin, Nandor burst from it. His glowing eyes searched the room. Taking deep breaths, he felt like a hound seeking out his prey. Following his nose he found a letter addressed to himself. Tearing it open, he rummaged for the source of the smell. Only to find that the letter itself was covered in the odor.

“Master?” The familiar glanced nervously at the documentary crew.

His nervous call, made the vampire finally notice that the familiar was in the room.

Gathering his composer, he turned to the other man. “Ah Guillermo, I was just inspecting this letter. Could you tell me why it smells this way.”

He was about to laugh off the notion, it was just a piece of mail. That was until he remembered how it got to the house, you. You had hand delivered the letter. He cringed at the thought of his master sinking his fangs into you. The new neighbor that was taking care of their newly widowed grandfather. So as his master glared expectantly down at him. He decided a half truth would be the best way to keep you safe. “It was delivered this morning. Maybe the post office has a new mailman.”

He towered over his familiar and a smile broke out on his face. “Yes, that must be it. A new person has started working at the postal building.” He placed the letter in his coffin. Trying and failing to be subtle about it. “Keep an eye out for this postal person. They may be more interesting than they lead on.”

“OK Master. Did you have anything planned for today.” Glancing at the crew He hoped the subject change would distract the vampire. At least enough to keep your name from spilling out of his mouth.

“Yes. I would like to look at horses. So I will need you to set up the light box.” With a flourish of his cape, he walked out of the room. A very relieved human following after.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taking a long swig from your water bottle, you wiped the sweat from your brow. The feeling of your muscles burning was a pleasant sensation. It was nice having a bit more free time. But the thought of sitting around all day was not the way you wanted to live.

You were thankful for all of the gyms that were a stones throw away from home. It honestly seemed like you couldn't go a couple of blocks without passing a gym. But hey, you weren't going to complain about a convenience.

Finishing out your set, you cleaned the machine. The warmth built up in your limbs made you decide it was time for a cool down. Seeing a few treadmills free, you went to grab a spot. Only to shift paths to the bikes as you spot a familiar face.

Sitting down next to him, you felt bad at how much you seemed to startle him. “Sorry buddy, didn't mean to spook you.” Starting to pedal the exercise bike, you hoped he didn't mind you setting up next to him.

He shook his head. “No, you're fine. Didn't expect to see you here is all.”

“I get that.” A stale silence lingered between the two if you. Thinking that a subject change would ease the tension, you said. “So did Nandor get their letter?”

His shoulders tensed a bit at the mention of his Master. Glancing at you, he saw the gentle expression on your face. He was reminded that you were a regular person. That just seemed as lonely as he felt sometimes. So he nodded and gave you a quick smile. “He did, he got a little excited about it too. You know how older people can be about letters though.”

You nodded. “Oh don't I know it. Everytime my Grandfather gets a personal letter in the mail you would think it was his birthday.”

This confirmed your suspension of Guillermo being in a similar situation as yourself. You had heard from another neighbor that there were a group of people that lived in the house with him. And seeing him do all of the yard work. Well it wasn't like some elderly people could handle those type of tasks. It made you like him even more, knowing that you could have a kinship through caring for others.

So you cycled next to each other and made plans to meet up at the gym more often. You loved the idea of having a workout buddy. While he was relieved that he could spend some time with you, away from the house of course.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finishing up another workout, you bid Guillermo a goodnight. No matter how many times you offered him a ride home he always declined. Even as the year settled into winter he still insisted. Something about how a brisk walk was how he preferred to end a workout.

Shaking your head at how odd he could act, you didn't notice the item in your path. Catching yourself on a nearby wall, you looked down. It was a worn out dark wallet. You picked it up to take to the front desk. Only to stop as you notice that Guillermo's license was in it. Walking to the front, you glanced either way down the sidewalk. His curly locks were nowhere in sight. With a shrug, you headed back towards the locker room. It wouldn't be a problem to drop it off to him. Plus it would be nice to meet the Nandor you've heard so much about. But had never had the opportunity to be introduced.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hearing the front door open Nandor narrowed his brow. “Guillermo, come to the library. I wish to to purchase a item and need the plastic card.” The quick patter of footsteps followed the command.

“Coming Master.” Then a pause in his step and the sound of rustling. “Um, do you happen to know where my wallet is?”

Rolling his eyes, the Vampire rose from his seat. Making his way over to the familiar, he scoffed. “Of course not. If I did than I would not have asked you for the card.” Sending a look at the camera, he said. “Fucking guy.”

As the younger man went to tear his room apart, a knock rang through the house. “Could you please get that Master.” Then realizing that that could be seen as a demand he added. “So I can find the credit card for you.”

Throwing a hand over his shoulder, he headed to the entrance. “Very well, but don't expect this to become a regular thing.”

Swinging the door open he paused. He was sure that if he still needed breath to live, it would have caught. You were a beacon of beauty. A vision of soft splendor that he could loose himself in. Then your scent hit him and an indescribable hunger welled within him. A baser urge rose from within himself and he lunged towards you. Not sure what his inner instincts were forcing upon him.

Before you could get a word out, however, your muscle memory took over. Which caused the hand holding the wallet to strike out. Causing Nandor to halt in his movement.

“For fucks sake!” His hands cupped his nose and he was surprised to feel liquid. Pulling a hands back, he couldn't help but admire the blood coating his fingers. Glancing up at you he was taken aback at the compassionate expression on your face.

You quickly took his face into your hands and fussed over him. “I'm so sorry, it was just instinct. I can't believe I hurt you." Tugging a few tissues from you bag. You gently pressed them to his nose.

Even though he knew his vampiric powers had already healed him. He let you take care of him. Your touch was warm and gentle. Your soft hands flitted over his face in a pleasant manner that he could indulge in for hours.

The nose bleed had seemed to stop. Taking a step back,you gave him a nervous smile. “I really am sorry about all this. I just wanted to return Guillermo's wallet.” This caused the mystery man to step towards you.

“Why are you interested in seeking an audience with my familiar?” He had a disgruntled tone.

Brows furrowing at his statement, you repeated yourself. “I wanted to return his wallet. He dropped it at the gym and I thought I would give it to him. I mean it's not like it was out of my way or anything." You gestured to your home and sent him a hopefully pleasant grin.

Narrowing his eyes at the house. He wonder what else his familiar could be keeping from him. “I see, let me call for him.” Facing into the house, he said. “Guillermo, there is a visitor at the door.” Side eyeing the crew, he waited.

You both waited for him to return. Nandor took the time to admire you for a moment longer. While you were excited, yet confused, to learn about your friend's housemates. This honestly wasn't the situation you thought he was living in. Still it seemed that he helped the people he stayed with.

He jogged to the front, but slowed his stride at the sight in front of him. Two of the people he never wanted to meet, standing beside each other. His heart began racing. You being here was as surprising as you not being dead. The way his Master reacted to your scent. He belived if the vampire ever got downwind of you, it would be your end. Instead he was gazing down at you in wonder.

“Hey, I hope I didn't catch you at a bad time.” You sheepishly shifted your gazed to Nandor, then quickly back to him. “I just wanted to make sure you got this.” Holding the wallet out to him, you were happy to see the relief that spread across his face.

Taking it from your hand, he embraced you. “I can't believe you found it. Thank you (Y/N).” Shifting back, he was surprised to see the angry look on his Master's face.

“It's nothing really. You must have dropped it and when I happened to find it outside of the locker rooms. Well, I didn't think it would be a problem to drop it off. Not like it's a long trip or anything.” Grinning you pat his back.

Nandor stepped a bit closer to you. It seemed his familiar had grown close to what should be HIS. He had only known you a few moments. But he felt a possessiveness clawing at his insides. “Yes, she was just telling me about your time together at the gym. It has made my interest in the location grow. I should like to join you at your next session.”

Guillermo's eyes pleaded for you to say no. Knowing you though, there was no way that you would reject someone without a reason.

“Sure, the more the merrier.” Noticing how dark the sky had gotten, you stepped towards the door. “Text me the details Guillermo, I've got to get to my grandfather.”

Both men waved as you left. Each dreading you departure for very different reasons.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next gym trip was an interesting one. You didn't expect Nandor to show up in only a pair of tight ornate pants. But if that was what put him in the mood for a good burn, then who were you to judge. It also didn't hurt that it made it that much easier to observe him. His muscles twitching and veins pulsing. All while he lifted over five time your body weight. Well it didn't take long for the more steamy thoughts of what his muscle could help with.

He was thoroughly enjoying his time with you. It was a nice change to have a workout partner. Watching as you pushed your body and strengthen yourself. It was enough to make him go wild. How could something be so soft yet ferice? If only he didn't have to share you.

“That's great Guillermo, just one more press.” You loved to encourage him. IT always seemed to help him push to new heights.

Noticing the vampire sneer from the corner of his eye, he shook his head. “No. I can't keep going.”

Your smile faultered. He was shaking and his breath was pretty labored. Sliding behind him, you positioned your hands under the barbell. “OK. If you want to burnout, I've got you.” Nodding down at him, you prepared for the worst.

He felt guilty for worrying you. Until he saw his Master holding back a hiss. So he moved the weights and focused on you instead. The only person whose treated him like a human. No, a friend, in a long time. Taking all his frustration out on his muscles.

That is if his sweaty palms didn't slip from the barbell. You caught it, but a sickening pop came from your shoulder. Crying out, you lurched backwards to keep the weight from falling on him.

The vampire sprung into action. One hand pulling the equipment from you. He cradled you against him with the other. Touching your shoulder, he was relieved to see that it only seemed strained. Though his frown deepen at the way your breath hitched. He whipped towards the other man. “You idiot, were you trying to kill her. You know how fragile humans are.”

He barely paid the vampire any mind. “I'm so sorry (Y/N). Are you ok? What am I saying, of course your not.” He began to pace.

You placed a hand on his arm to stop him. “Hey, it's OK. I think it's only strained.” You gave him a reassuring smile. “I'll just have to stick to legs for a bit.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Even after offering to take you to Urgent Care and paying. You still insisted that you were fine. That an ice pack and some sleep would do the trick. That didn't stop the men from escorting you home.

Guillermo rushed into their house, trying his best to ignore his Master. It did little good.

“You are a reckless idiot. How could you let her get injured. You should have let those weights crush you.” He followed him through the house. Pushong passed the crew, irritated. Watching as he rifled amongst his things, the Vampire grew enraged. “Are you even listening to me!”

Swinging around to face the taller man, he was red with anger. “How could I not. Look i know I screwed up. That's why I'm getting my heating pad. Alternating between heat and cold should help her recover faster.” Then he quickly walked to the front door.

Nandor enjoyed the thought of you healing faster. But frown at Guillermo being the one to cause it. “Then we will take it to her together.”

The familiar came to a sudden stop. “No, I'm going to see MY friend. If all of this is my fault, then I should be the one to take care of it.”

Glaring down at the shorter man, he could feel his nail digging into his palms. “That is why I should go. To make sure you don't kill them.”

His face became a blank mask to shroud his emotions. As calmly as he could manage he said. “Actually Master, I think you have a much better chance of taking their life. Now if you don't mind, I have something to see to. Including not worrying about being invited inside her home.” He left swiftly.

A fact that Nandor was both angry and relieved by. Huffing he went to confide in the only man in the house that was successful in love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Swaying through the air as a bat. He couldn't help but curse at having taken Laszlo's advice. How could he be stupid enough to believe that drinking from intoxicated humans would help. Now he was over thinking what you and his betrayal of a familiar were doing.

Veering away from his own home, he transformed back on your lawn. Stumbling to the front door, he didn't notice the light beginning to spill over the horizon. He called out to you, loudly wailing.

Making your way to the entrance, you were confused why someone would be here so early. That someone being a distraught Nandor was a surprise. Rubbing a hand across your face, you tried to focus on the situation.

He admired how your pajamas fit you. Taking a moment to try to commit the sight to memory. He attempted to throw himself into your embraced. But was halted by the very curse that Guillermo had thrown in his face. “Why must we be torn from each other?”

Staring at the man in bewilderment, you stepped forward. “Nandor, what are you talking about?”

He fell forward and wrapped his strong arms around you. Feeling your soft body fit against him pleasantly. “We are so different. You a human and me a vampire. You care for people, while I only think of them as food. Guillermo is right, I'm not good enough.”

Frowning at his drunken rambling, you heaved him towards your door. “I'm not sure what your getting on about. But why don't I get you some water and on the couch. Come on, let's get inside.”

He wiggled out of your arms, as much as he didn't want to. “No, you should be near me. I'm a monster that could kill you at any moment.” He turned to head home, but shrieked as the first rays of light hit his skin.

Shock ran through you. It felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over you. You let instinct take over as you yanked him inside. Flinging the door shut, you went to check over his burns. After seeing they were only minor wounds, you smiled. “OK, so that wasn't just the booze talking.”

“No, I would not lie to you, you are to precious. Even now you have saved a monster like me." He took your hands into his own and leaned forward.

You met his lips in a tender kiss. Pressing your forehead against his own, you took in a shuddering breath.

“Is everything OK? I thought I heard…. oh for christ's sake!” There stood a disheveled Guillermo, a frown tugging at his lips. When he brought you the heating pad earlier he seemed so upset. You decided to invited him to stay over. But with the situation at hand, you didn't consider calling out to him for help. “You couldn't even wait another day to make a move. This is so like you, taking without considering others feelings.”

“Hey that's not fair. She obviously likes me.” Almost falling over himself to stand up and face the other man. “Why must you stand in the way of love?”

The familiar stepped forward and shoved a finger into his chest. “Because you're a killer that falls in love every other month.”

You had stood to the side stunned. You didn't realise the impact you had made on their lives until now. As you thought about it, you knew that you felt the same. It would hurt your heart to not have these men in your life.

Stepping between them, you took a breath to steady yourself. “I'd like a say in this. Being that I am the subject of the fight after all.” Placing a hand on each of their chest, you smiled reassuringly. “I'm a big girl. If I want to be friends with someone. Or date someone, it's my choice in the end.” You gave each of them a pointed look that caused their masculine ego to deflate.

Guillermo was the first to speak. “What if you break up? You won't want anything to do with things that remind you of Nandor…. Including me.”

The desperation in his voice broke your heart. You brought him into a tight hug. “You can't predict what the future might bring. But I can promise you that I don't veiw you as an extension of Nandor. So the chances of me not wanting to be around you aren't happening.”

He sniffled as you seperated. “Thanks, that's reassuring to hear.”

Turning to the Vampire, you patted his chest. “Nandor, I like you, a lot. But let's take things slow. It's obvious that there's still something that we need to learn about one another.”

He gave you a wide grin. “As long as it is time I get to spend with. Then I am happy.”

Guiding everyone to the couch, you made sure they both were comfortable. A simle settled on your face. Settling on top of Nandor and pulling Guillermo onto yourself. A calm washed over your heart. Things may get rocky, but you guys could figure it out together in time.

Prologue

Content warnings: gore, human death, body horror.

Words: 2178.

Shrill sirens painfully pierced the amorphous entity’s auditory sensory neurons as it mobilized itself through a ventilation passageway. It was pure persistence that the tightly screwed on protective grate in its enclosure had come off, and now Eris was free to do as it pleased.

Before releasing the others, along with the offspring that the facility had non-consensually created from one of its eggs, it was going to pay a visit to whatever researcher it could get its tendrils on first as a way of gaining much needed sustenance.

Cold air languidly blew past its crimson, writhing biomass as it shoved its way through. The metallic passage was uncomfortable against its raw cells, making for a quick getaway to the nearest exit.

Eris could hear the vibrations from many human voices to its right, and swiftly turned down a smaller offshoot. Its biomass wasn’t as large as it had been before the capture, since it had deteriorated from the lack of nutrients during a forced inactive state that the humans had put it in, but it would make sure to build itself back up over time.

Its current size was still barely small enough to fit inside of the vent, but once its plan was in action, it wouldn’t need to hide in the walls like a rat anymore.

Relief washed over it as the artificial light from a room filtered in through the ventilation grate. Whispers were shared amongst a small group of humans, their glossy eyes flicking around nervously. These creatures were peculiar to Eris. It had never seen such a being until a few moons ago when they had ripped it from its home world to study a handful of its species.

As interesting as they were, they were harmful and needed to be dealt with, and Eris was going to make sure that they wouldn’t get in its way while it looked for a path out of its sterile prison.

Having only been fed a diet consisting of small mammals and scraps, the entity didn’t have the strength that was required to take down a group of this size, so it would need to go about its plans differently. Fortunately, Eris had other methods of feeding, and one in particular that would keep it hidden in plain sight.

Small tendrils were formed from its biomass to reach through the narrow gaps in the grate, dexterously unscrewing it from the wall. It knew better than to cause a ruckus, and carefully placed the metal plate behind it, using many more tendrils to carry it towards the back.

Six inky eyes watched the group of nine humans that were huddled together, pleased to see that none had yet noticed its arrival. Eris had been lucky to slip away before anyone had made it into the containment observatory, but it wasn’t even halfway done with its plans yet.

One human broke off from the group, walking towards where Eris lay waiting, allowing a storage rack to distance him from the others. The room was quite dim, and cluttered with many boxes full of human objects, the perfect place for it to attempt to blend in as it oozed down the wall. The man seemed impatient over something, and was fiddling around with a rectangular piece of technology in his hands.

Eris made its biomass as sleek as possible as it slowly neared the brown-haired human. A few beady eyes kept the group in veiw, constantly making sure that they hadn’t noticed anything suspicious yet.

“This damn thing never works when I need it to! I don’t know why Biome couldn’t have just let us keep our own phones.”, the man grumbled out, but the group barely paid him any attention, and were too focused on their own conversation. Frustration shone in his mossy eyes as he glared back down at the screen, completely unaware of the thin, carmine tendril that was inching towards his throat.

Without warning, the appendage shot forward at lightning speed, piercing his pale skin with the stinger that had been exposed beneath unfurled biomass. Another wrapped around the entirety of his neck, crushing everything beneath it to keep him from calling out for help. It could feel the extra lump of cartilage that some humans had, bobbing with every attempted yell.

The phone clattered to the concrete floor as his hands reflexively reached up for his throat, but the other Biome employees didn’t hear the struggle over their chatter that had slowly been growing in decibels over the past few minutes.

Eris wasted no time in shoving its biomass into the humans largest orifice, causing his jaw to almost detach from the tendons. Any injury caused could be repaired later on, so the amorphous entity cared little about any damages done in the process.

The neurotoxin that was intravenously injected had already partially paralyzed the human, making it so that he wouldn’t be able to speak or fight back until Eris’s biomass was integrated enough with his system to take control. His arms now hung limply at his sides, green eyes staring at the ceiling with agony-induced tears welling up in the inner corners.

Once fully inside of its warm shelter, Eris started consuming his internal workings, absorbing the tissue directly into its biomass and converting the cells into something more useful. It was no doubt that such a process was painful for the man, but Eris was indifferent towards his feelings; this species didn’t care when their caustic chemicals burned its biomass, or when they let it starve just to watch its desperate, visceral reactions while they teased it with sustenance behind a thick, glass wall.

It was a kill or be killed world, and Eris would never allow something as pathetically weak as a human to take its place at the top of the food chain.

A thin stream of bloody saliva trickled from the corner of the brunet’s thin mouth, trailing down his jaw. His muscle tissue and organs were quickly replaced with infectious biomass as he stood paralyzed to the ground, his coworkers not even twenty feet away, ignorant of it all.

Eris made sure to consume his brain last, just for the guilty pleasure of making him feel everything else being absorbed first. Due to the workings of its neurotoxin, his body hadn’t shut down from shock yet, making him fully aware that something was liquefying him from the inside out.

The human cells gave Eris plenty enough biomass to convert them into whatever it needed for its own survival. A reproductive system was not necessary at the moment, since most of the energy was needed in modifying its digestive system, making it more efficient and protective against foreign substances.

Any sustenance here on out would go through its maw first, since absorbing other organisms on Earth could be risky if they contained the strange chemicals that the humans were so enthralled with.

Eris knew that it didn’t have a lot of time to blend in; its genetic defect would soon manifest on the outside as the human cells were all completely converted to its own for mimicry. The inside of the host didn’t need to obtain a specific appearance, and would be mostly room to store excess biomass as it grew, but the outside had to appear the same as to not cause suspicion.

Unfortunately for Eris, any cells that were used for replication could not properly produce pigment, causing any creature that it attempted to assimilate to appear colorless, making it stand out amongst others of their kind. The defect had always been a nuisance for the shapeless lifeform, but mimicry wasn’t necessary for hunting on its native planet, so the mutation hadn’t been an actual issue up until now.

Not wanting to wait a second longer, it started piloting its newly attained human form, curling the slender arms and long fingers inward, and inhaling hundreds of unfamiliar scents through a freshly replicated olfactory system.

Eris had never consumed a human prior to this, and would have loved to try out its new body if it weren’t for the fact that eight other humans stood nearby, hiding in plain sight from the very thing that had been in the room with them for the past forty-five minutes.

Eris couldn’t believe that they hadn’t noticed their colleague’s strange behavior or absence from the huddle for the duration of the assimilation, but it meant that this next part was going to go by smoothly.

Clumsily on unbalanced legs, it clambered towards them, eyes dead set on one particular human as it began to detach its lower jaw. His hazel eyes stared back at who he thought was his coworker, and they narrowed with confusion as to why his ex-colleague was walking so strangely.

“You okay there, Sven? Are ya drunk or somethin?”, Troy asked jokingly, voice uneasy as it got closer.

It was too late once the researcher noticed the blood that had pooled onto Sven’s shirt from when Eris had violently entered his body.

Dread shadowed over his features the exact moment that the bloodied shirt tore open from the sickle-like teeth that protruded from its new maw. The vertical opening reached up to its now-split lower jaw all the way from the lower abdomen, creating a scene to the group that could only be described as an abomination.

Its execution was messier than it had wanted, but it couldn’t risk waiting around for its biomass to fully merge with the host.

These humans had the ability to damage its cells to an extreme level with their strange, fire-powered contraptions and chemical injections, and Eris wasn’t sure when backup would arrive to help the group that it currently had cornered in the storage room.

“You don’t have to do this. Just let us go.”, Troy pleaded, his dry lips quivering under a thick mustache.

His pitiful body language made Eris feel a tinge of smugness over the fact that it finally had the upper hand over its tormenter, and he would pay dearly for the last few months of his repetitive experiments.

Eris’s head snapped to the left as someone else attempted to speak up, but the uncanny movement silenced them almost immediately. Everyone’s hands were shaking, and Eris could smell their bitter sweat as it leaked from each pore.

Four saliva-slicked tendrils shot out from the depths of the vertical opening, hurtling towards Troy. The others scattered like terrified roaches, but the keratinous arrows at the end of each appendage made sure that Troy stayed put, no matter how furiously he writhed around.

It was most unfortunate that he wouldn’t know who was doing this to him. Eris hadn’t had the time to learn to speak yet, but it desperately wished it could communicate exactly how much hatred it had for the vile lifeform that called itself Troy.

More tendrils formed underneath the human façade from the hidden biomass, vying for the other seven humans that were looking for a way to get it off of Troy, while the main four ropes dug into his chest cavity like burrowing worms.

His screams ended abruptly as his larynx was viciously torn from a tendril that had crawled into his throat, and Eris allowed his body to slam into the ground below with a heavy thud.

The brooms and boxes that a few of the others were using to fight it off did nothing to deter it from crouching over Troy’s body and impatiently pulling his limp, but still very conscious form into the maw.

Bones and sinew crunched in-between the three rows of teeth as the body was pulled inward, allowing gummy viscera to spill out onto the ground. Eris’s entire face split open like a fleshy flower, completely connecting to the rest of the digestive entrance, allowing for more room to consume a meal that was larger than it was.

The rest of the remaining, foolish humans finally gave up their brave attempt at scaring it off, and ran off into the hallway, screaming for help.

If Eris wanted to exit the facility unscathed with the others, it would need to quicken its pace. Tendrils worked vicariously to pull every last bit of organic material inside, engorging itself to the point of becoming temporarily bloated. The clothing that Troy had been wearing was torn off as the process continued, and was discarded onto the floor in ragged, soaked pieces along with his leathery shoes.

Several strands of the chocolatey hair that fell into its face was already losing pigment, turning them a stark white. Eris growled in frustration at the sight, causing the remainder of Troy’s blood in its malformed larynx to gurgle.

The ear-piercing alarms were still sounding throughout the facility, and backup had to be on the way by now, if they weren’t already there. Releasing the other four of its kind was the only way that its species had a chance at survival in this strange, new place, so back to the containment room it went, leaving a sanguine trail in its wake.

i hate you more 🥀

matt sturniolo

also if anyone as used the title i can change it and im not copying anyone im just bored

⚠️warnings⚠️ smut, 18+, pet names (baby,good girl,mommy etc), cussing, use of y/n, and so on

for context y/n is nathan's sister she's 22 years old she's also an actor and one of the triplets closest friends well besides matt, he always seemed to hate y/n for no reason, they used to be close but drifted.

hate

why do i hate him so much?i hate so much its like i don't hate him at all.

i wrote down in my journal today is the first day of september and i need to understand i need to know why we hate eachother or atleast why he hates me. my phone starts to ring "hello" i say answering the phone "heyy y/n are you doing anything tonight" my best friend nick says from the other line, "uhh no why do you ask"

"well only because the biggest party ever is tonight and i saw that you were invited it's a halloween party so bring a costume we're picking you up at 8 love you see you then"

"wait nic-" i say before he hangs up the phone. ughh i do not wanna go to this stupid party, i don't even have a costume

"hey girl you look so good" i say hugging her

"heyyy"

"im gonna get a drink it was nice seeing you" i say walking over to the drinks seeing matt and he's already on his second one

"matt you should probably shut your mouth before you say something you don't wanna"

"but i do wanna say it"

"matt-"

"your so so sexy and funny. but i still hate you"

"i hate you more"

matt suddenly finishes whatever drink number he's on and wraps his hand around my waist exept his hands are literally on my ass

"such a perfect ass yeah?"

"feeling not so shy today huh?"

"i'm glad we're matching"

"yeah?"

"EVERYONE LETS PLAY TRUTH OR DARE SPICYYYY" larray says hinting for our big group to sit down and play

"no you have to just give me ten minutes"

i put my drink on the counter infront of me and turn around now facing matt putting my hands around his neck as i kiss him, he kisses me back right away hungirly like he hasnt had any physical touch ever in his life.

"not here w-what if we get caught"

"you wanted it so bad now take your pants off"

"b-but-"

"off." i say as he slowly unbuckles his belt and pulls his pants down revealing the hard bulge in his boxers, i slowly get down onto my knees and palm him through his pants

"f-fuck stop teasing please Y/N i need this"

"be patient" i say slowly pulling his boxers down as his dick springs up and hits his stomach precum already leaking

i slowly wrap my hand around the base of his dick flicking my thumb over his tip

"fuckk mmph please m-more"

"shhh cant be too loud dont want anybody hearing now do we?"

"n-no dont want that mo-baby"

"you can say it matty" i say seeing matts embarrassed expression and rosy cheeks

"thank you mommy"

i spit on his dick then slowly stroke his swollen hard dick

"mmph more mmh please"

i pick up the pace go faster and faster each second

"fuck fuck mmph so so close"

i slowly start to stop going slower and slower each second, matt was so close one more stroke and hes done all his orgasm falling away causing him to physically groan

"no no why did you stop mommy i promise ill be quiet"

i kiss his tip causing him to whimper my name once again, i start stroking him again so fast not even matt can comprehend the pace

"nnngh so so close please"

i slow down again and flick my thumb over his tip every time i reached it, not going fast whatso ever

"fuck fuck please"

i flick my thumb over his tip one last time then i start going faster then slower then faster again

"fuckk dont stop"

"Open your mouth"

i open my mouth listening to his commands, as i do he almost immediately cums into my mouth, i feel his warm seed falling down my throat like water. i swallow everything there still being some on my chin.

"fuckkkkkk" he whimpers as im still stroking him

'nghhh mommmy im sensitive"

"sorry sweet boy" i say kissing his tip hearing him groan at the kiss and the loss of contact

"looks like its time to get back to the party, lets pull these up yeah?"

"i still hate you, halfway, maybe, maybe not" matt says as i pull up his pants

Ok guys hear me out for a johanna x reader fic (im so down bad for this girl i need smn to write me shit for her 😭😭🙏)

Warning nsfw ahead dont recommend for minors

snows daughter, cocky arrogant and mean meats the infamous johanna, whos all that and more, at a party. And what else would they do other then clash heads.

You two end up in your fathers office letting off steam and your “distaste for eachother” by having mad hot sex, constantly fighting eachother for domination in your fathers office

Just imagine for the nsfw you have johanna pinned to your fathers desk, face down, body over top of hers as you hold both her wrists up and splayed above her head, harshly rubbing her off with your thigh “shhh, wouldnt want daddy to hear you and comes see whos in his office now would you” it comes out raspy, your hot breathe on the shell of her ear sending shivers down her body as she whimpers lightly, then her body lights up in a hot blaze. She feels your tight grip on her wrist, body heavily pushed against hers caging her to the desk, so she lets her self go on your thigh, biting her lip to quiet her moans so you let your guard down and loosen your grip. It takes her a second to calm down and level out her thoughts enough to notice you lowered ur guard. In one swift moment she has you on your back, arms pinned above your head as you had hers. She doesnt waiste anytime before grinding her knee into your throbbing cunt with a vengeance, pulling a strangled sound out of your throat which is quickly silenced by her hand pressed against your mouth tightly as your eyes roll back at the force of her knee against your cunt. “Sshhh baby, wouldnt want daddy hearing you and coming to see whos in his office now would you” she mocks back into your ear, her voice hot, wet, and labored as she pants into it. But her comment falls on deaf ears as your eyes are too far rolled back in your head to take in anything other then pleasure right now

(Then yall like kinda keep battling it out for dominancekinda thing)

When you sneak out afterwards your panting, hot and sweaty. Marks littering your skin underneath the fabricks that now cover it. As johanna holds the door open for you you notice scratches in her back peeking out under her hair covering her exposed back, and smile, but little did you know as you walked ahead of johanna she grew a smirk aswell, catching site of a mark you also didnt know was in veiw, your hair not being long enough to cover it, a long very obvious finger nail scratches coming up from your right cheak and quickly dissapearing around your side back behind the fabrick (thinking like a very low open back dress for you and just a like loose hanging open backfor johanna, goes like halfway down her back)

LIT ACT GOING FERAL FOR THIS WOMAN RN, SCALING THE WALLS, BITTING MY HEADBOARD, EATING THE GYPROCK

This week in Dog News:

I competely forgot that Herschel likes to eat tomato hornworms and accidentally put my hand in his mouth when he was halfway through hakuna matataing one and had probably the worst texture experience of my life. i screamed loud enough to summon a nurse from the old folks home next door.

I found a youtube channel that is just ASMR Process videos of this guy cleaning really, really dirty rugs and apparently it's Arwen's new favorite thing. She likes classical music and cozy british craft shows and apparently this has a similar enough sound profile to make her chill

Arwen now has her own youtube channel so i can make playlists for her.

Charlie has once again managed to extract the 5-inch wide hard plastic interior of the puzzle ball through the not-that-flexible 1.5 inch opening without breaking the hard plastic puzzle or the rubber outside.

I have yet to actually witness this feat because he always does it behind the dining room table where black magic is obscured from my veiw.

All three dogs are coordinating efforts to hunt rabbits now. Charlie flushes the rabbits from the garden, Herschel waits at the wire fence, Arwen waits at the bolt holes under the wooden fence, and I'm usually ambling out the studio door, 'blocking' the third exit zone. I've had a rabbit run over my foot- and I mean "little buny feets launching off my sandal" over- twice today, and I think the dogs are getting annoyed that I am not contributing to the team here.

Herschel is very close to figuring out doorknobs. He can reach them and understands they have to turn, and that he needs to lean on the door to open it. He is held in check soley by his stubby little toes and lack of opposable thumbs. He kicks, fruitlessly, at thee knob, only able to get the barest fraction of a grip on it, until he sits down and just SCREAMS at the door until Aren comes and uses her freaky monkey paws to open it for him.

Charlie is perfectly capable of opening doorknobs but chooses not to, because it makes me sad.

He instead eats my mom's green beans right off the vine.

i would love to hear you info dump about etho :D

So I'm always down to talk about etho and the lore he builds into his let's play over the years so I'm just gonna go on a stream of tangents mostly about his single player because hhhhhhooo the lore this man comes up with.

His original world back in beta and alpha Minecraft is lovingly nicknamed "Chocolate island" because way way back then the mad man was designing a passive mob farm that required his spawn continent had no grass on it what do ever so the whole island was made into dirt by hoeing it and letting it decompose back to dirt. This was way back before hunger was even a thing when etho was studying mob behavior with some of the earliest parts of the redstone community, also investing the first ever redstone clock the ticker (late he would go on to invent the hopper clock the most widely used redstone clock, fun) this is also around the time of the invention of the EATS road. Ethos advanced transportation system. It was the fastest way to travel back in alpha using series of water roads that would propel boats forwards along set tacks at high speed. He even created an EATS road that had a note block theme from one of his favorite games Cave story that would play as your rode along. So way back when etho had a few encounters with his arch nemesis general spaz, a general/leader of creepers and other mobs. It's frequently implied back then that etho can speak to creepers. (He would spend many minutes talking with random creepers who wouldn't attack him or blow up because of ai pathing being jank) and he could speak with the general. This is also when it's revealed that well. We the growers exist in etho lore, he has camera equipment that lets us observe him and his world that follows him around. Creepers hate being observed by these extra planar beings (us) and thus target the equipment we veiw from and blow up near etho. The compromise is etho will keep living in his world unaccosted by creepers if he never lets the world be viewed in such a way again. Etho agrees, cut to black. But etho gives no fucks and has no remorse back then and we cut back to him burning down general spaz's house and blowing it up with him inside. General Spaz is presumed dead and etho goes back to his experiments on mob behavior (it's implied this is kind of a war crime by general spaz's veiw since it's uhh kinda implied most mobs are sentient to a point and creepers have always been able to speak to etho but uhh yeah. Your mcyt is a war criminal)

During later subscriber specials it's revealed general spaz survived (although is likely maimed or scared in some way because no way did he escape that without wounds) and is now kind of rivals with etho. They have a jousting match once.

Us the veiwers remain watching in the world through all their scuffles

(this has gotten very long as we havet even made it halfway through the lore to be found in the chocolate island saga [only like 1 out of many spaz encounters fully described] so I'll probably continue this a bit later in a reblog!)

Part (1/?)

#etho #green rambles #i can and will explain the lets play world lore over and over and infodump about chocolate island forever.#i love choclate island so much

Ok but like. Deku with a Darling who has that regeneration quirk? Idk, I think there’s something there. Probably bad sex and dried blood.

Is there any good sex with Izuku? I’ll probably have to answer that later on, but I’m sure I can come up with something that doesn’t involve his dicku. Maybe. Possible. We’ll see.

Title: Repair and Repeat.

TW: Graphic Violence and Implied Kidnapping.

You could feel your body putting itself back together.

Your quirk was an intricate one. Even on the uneven, grime-covered floor of the alley, you could feel your fractured bones melding together, muscle reconnecting with tendons torn loose, your skin grafting and redistributing, stretching to where it was needed rather than where it was meant to be. You’d always tried to use your skills sparsely, before. Overusing your regeneration would leave you exhausted and paralyzed, every bit of you spread too thin to do any good. But, if there was a time to overexert yourself, this was it. You could worry about your prolonged recovery when you were safe, when you were somewhere he couldn’t reach you.

Or, that was what you’d figured you’d do, at least.

Before Izuku came home early.

You’d taken the brunt of your fall with your arms, knowing they’d be less important than your legs, in the long run. Still, you almost wished you’d taken the damage to your back, instead, or your chest, anywhere that wouldn’t ache and crack as you attempted to push yourself off the gravel road. If everything had gone as planned, you would’ve descended the fire-escape peacefully, rather than throwing yourself out of the top-story window when you heard the front door open from somewhere deeper in Izuku’s penthouse. You’d already picked the lock, and although jumping was more unpredictable than you’d like, it was a better option than whatever Izuku would do if he caught you. Even if your wrists did seem to be on the worse side of ‘dislocated’.

You grit your teeth as you attempted to stand, but your struggle was futile. There was a clatter of metal on metal, the clash of footsteps against concrete, and before you could think about moving your legs, your ankle was caught under the heel of his boot. In a moment, he was pressing down, the bone splintering, splitting, breaking under little more than the weight of his body and the barest hints of his strength. You fell back to the ground without a struggle, a pained whine forming in the back of your throat, but you swallowed it down, refusing to give Izuku the satisfaction of a proper response. Instead, your scream came with a sturdy kick to your stomach, one that left you curling into yourself as something metallic rushed into your mouth.

Pain surged through your body, hot and burning in your leg, steady and spiraling in your gut, but just as quickly, a delicate warmth began to spread through your veins. It did little to numb your suffering, knitting your organs back together with only your own screaming agony to guide it. You cried out, the noise wordless and nearly smothered by the hand soon clamped over your mouth, and Izuku’s eyes flicked towards your face coldly. He only bothered speaking once your complaints had turned to desperate, pathetic sobs, the kind you could only wish he wouldn’t hear. “Don’t try to make me feel guilty,” He said, his tone as professional as the light scowl pressed into his lips. “You’ll be better in an hour. Two, at most.”

“It still fucking hurts,” You grunted, both satisfied and unnerved to see a speckling of dark red on the pavement below your mouth. You didn’t try to get up, bringing your knees to your chest and letting Izuku sigh and roll his eyes and do all the things he had to do to convince himself that you were the one being unreasonable, that you were crazy. Still, he kneeled, resting on one knee as he lowered himself to your height, his expression suddenly filled with manufactured concern. The kind he would have for someone else’s pet, a creature he had to convince himself he cared about. “I need a hospital, Midoriya. Please, I know you don’t believe me, but something ruptured. I can feel a tear--”

He called your bluff silently, entangling his fingers in your hair and jerking you towards him, watching intently for a reaction intently before releasing you with as much delicacy as he was capable of. When you failed to voice your complaints, he started to shift, each of his movements slow, lazy. You supposed it didn’t matter. You weren’t going anywhere, not without a split and a few days to forget the pain.

“I don’t want to do this.” Izuku’s voice was suddenly heavy, sober, as if you’d been the one to force his hand. A soft, thick fabric brushed against your exposed side, and it occurred to you that he was probably still in his costume, fresh-off patrol. You didn’t know whether to be comforted by the thought that someone could recognize him, or disgusted by his determination to still veiw himself as the righteous, heroic ‘Deku’. “I want to make you happy, and I want you to be happy with me. This wasn’t in the plan.” He paused, and you felt his hand come to rest on the back of your thigh. “I never wanted to hurt you.”

“You don’t have to.” The words felt familiar on your tongue. You tried not to think of how many times you’d repeated them. “You could let me go. You won’t have to hurt me, and I won’t have to…”

You didn’t need to finish. It wasn’t like you could’ve, even if you wanted to. Halfway through your declaration, he’d started shaking his head, and he didn’t stop when you fell silent. If anything, he only seemed to grow more volatile, his temper boiling before you could think of a way to calm it. “That’d just make things worse,” He spat, hastily, his nails burrowing into your skin, breaking through the fragile barrier and drawing blood before he thought to pull away. You whimpered, but the pitiful sound did little to draw Izuku from his rage, his stare beginning to bore into the open wound. “You can’t leave, I can’t… You can’t keep running away. You’re causing problems. You’re making me do things I don’t want to do.”

“You’re lying to yourself.” You tried to mirror his confidence, but you faltered as Izuku stood, his abrupt absence somehow more alarming than his constant presence. When you continued, it was more for yourself than for him. “You’re not--”

“I’m taking care of you. Leaving isn’t an option, and if you won’t stop trying, I’ll make sure you can’t.” You felt him grab your collar, but you weren’t pulled into his arms or to your feet, no, you should’ve known you wouldn’t be that lucky. You could’ve screamed when he threw you onto your back, you could’ve struggled and yelled and fought, and yet, the air seemed to leave your lungs as you saw his expression, or more specifically, his eyes, no longer attempting to stay focused on your face.

Not when your beaten, broken leg seemed much more crucial to whatever he had in mind.

“A quirk can’t fix what isn’t there, right?”

Chapter 2 - Teddy Bear Hugs

Well here is Chapter 2.. This chapter gave me a little trouble. Also I am giving this story a new title Teddy Bear Hugs . I am going to try, and extend this story to Valentines day. Maybe. How will the Akatsuki survive our world as Teddy bears ? If there are any issues I’ll try and fix them as I go. Please bear with me as I write the rest of my story.

Chapter 2

As Megan was opening the box Tobi was growing more excited while the others were just wanting out of this box prison Tobi had put them in. When the box lid was opened, and put to the side Tobi the voices from earlier were now much more clearer, and light began to pour into the box. While neither of the Akatsuki members could move their heads, or bodies they squinted.

But as the light began to become clearer the other Akatsuki members could hear Tobi laughing to himself. Itachi was one of the first to look out of the box like the others was expecting someone a little younger. Was this actually the person that Tobi had been talking about ? Itachi could see her eyes were sparkling , and her mouth that was at first slightly agape became a smile. Deidara blinked

" Well... She's cute... " Deidara said.

" Is this the person you were talking about Tobi ?" Pein questioned as the others could see the young woman in a red, and white dress. A hairband was in her hair with a Christmas bow was in her hair that curled at the ends. The girl's eyes were sparkling as she looked upon the Akatsuki teddy bears.

" It is. Tobi can't wait for you to meet her !" Tobi said excitedly as Sasori noticed the girl wasn't reacting to Tobi's blathering. In fact it looked like she or the people she was with couldn’t hear what either of them were saying. Was there some kind of jutsu on the box that prevented people on the outside from hearing what the Akatsuki bears were saying ?

" Why can't she hear us ?" Sasori questioned.

" Oh that. Well the seal I put on the box prevents them from hearing us talk Sasori sempai. The seal will be undone when she removes one of us from the box. Once that happens we will be free to roam, talk, or do anything. . " Tobi answered. " So even if someone like Hidan sempai was yelling a thousand curse words she still couldn't hear you. "

" What was that ! " Hidan screeched only proving Tobi's point .Soon the other Akatsuki went silent as they noticed Megan still looking at them it was like she was afraid to touch them. They could also see a young boy which was the possible source of the shaking that had occurred earlier. The little boy had a curious look in his eye, but at the same time didn't understand the hype that his cousin was feeling.

" These .. These are incredible. Whoever Tobi got to make these.. They .. They look so authentic ." Megan said as she held the box, and at first was a little afraid to even touch the teddy bears inside that were modeled after her favorite characters from Naruto. Especially the one that looked like Itachi. Megan scanned the bears like she was scanning a painters masterpiece.

" What's with her ? It's like she's afraid to touch us." Hidan said.

" Maybe its the way we look. Maybe she has a distinct eye for detail, and feels like she doesn't want to destroy art." Sasori said.

" I don't know what that means, but I want the h*** out of here ! " Hidan yelled. But it seemed after a few moments the girl seemed to give in, and her eyes moved towards Itachi. Itachi blinked as Megan reached into the box, and gently began to lift him up. Holding Itachi up Megan noted the size of the bear, and how squeezable he looked.

When Megan had done so the others felt a surge of chakra as the seal on the box had been broken. With it broken Megan, and the people around her would be able to hear what they were saying. Itachi shifted his eyes when hearing voices down below.

Itachi shifted his eyes as he was being hoisted up . Now that he was out of the box Itachi surveyed his surroundings. Besides Megan, and the boy beside her Itachi could see a few middle aged adults, and two elderly people inside what was a sitting room. The on lookers were either discussing topics that Itachi had never heard of before, or watching Megan as she was getting excited over her gift.

Itachi then heard a small laugh coming from the older woman presuming to be the young woman's mother. Krystal laughed seeing her daughters reaction to the collection of teddy bears that looked like her favorite story characters. Megan looked over at her mother who smiled and said.

" Who ever your friend was from that convention must have known you liked those specific characters right ? " Krystal asked, and Megan nodded, but at the same time she was curious. Megan's aunt Diana looked over Megan's shoulder.

" What exactly are they ?" Diana asked as she looked at the remaining bears in the gift box.

" They are modeled after the members of the Akatsuki. The Akatsuki are an organization in one of my favorite anime or manga series. This one in particular is made to look like Itachi Uchiha." Megan answered as she noted the bears design. It even had a functional necklace unlike official plush toys of Itachi where it was printed onto fabric. After holding Itachi for awhile Megan placed him back with the other Akatsuki.

Still Megan remembered the note that had come with the bears . Tobi was with the girls when they were talking about their Christmas plans. While the bears were cute, and would look nice on her bed. How would they help her not feel alone while her parents were gone. After the Christmas party Krystal , and Jeremy would be taking her grandparents back home. Megan would be spending Christmas by herself while her parents took the grand parents to see Leo's kids, and grandchildren.

Megan shook the thought as she was given a card in an envelop from the grandparents that usually had a gift card or cash. Megan smiled, and thanked her step-grandfather . As everyone was opening their gifts Megan stood up and excused herself, and picked up the gift box " Where are you going Megan ?" Megan heard her grandmother ask. " I'll be back grandma. I am putting these on my bed for now." Megan answered with a smile, and held the bears up till her grandmother could see.

Grandma Abby looked at the bears inside of the , and smiled. Abby then smiled turned to her left where there was no one sitting beside her and said. " Aren't they sweet look Mabel do you see them ?" Abby asked causing Megan to smile a little, but carried the box to her bedroom . " Now where are we ?" White Zetsu asked.

" Maybe it's her bedroom ?" Konan answered as their hostess carried the box that the Akatsuki bears laid in. Yet Itachi noticed as the girl went inside the chosen room her smile from before seemed to fade a little. But Megan shook her head trying to shake the feeling.

" Not today."

Megan carried the box inside of her room, and sat the box down on her bed. Walking over to her beside table Megan turned on the lamp giving her a small amount of light. Megan then set up the box on the bed till the opening was facing the door. For a moment Megan sat on her bed giving herself time to calm down as she listened to the excitement from her cousin got his presents. Inside you could hear the sound of her dads camera as he took pictures of everyone. Megan turned back to the Akatsuki bears as she was still curious on how Tobi learned her address, and how he managed to get such unique looking bears. The letter was also a little strange and she wondered what Tobi meant by it. " I'll have to figure it out later though. " Megan said to herself as she stood up. In the box the Akatsuki members looked around getting a small veiw of the bedroom that had been taken too. The room's walls were powder blue, and the furniture inside was white. Yet the most unique thing about the room were the shelves that held books, anime or some type of figure. The walls also had pictures of anime, or characters that Megan liked. The members waited as Megan moved around the room preparing a few things for when the party had ended.

" Megan ! " Megan heard her mother call as it seemed the party was about to come to a close. Megan could hear heavy footsteps that sounded like heavy boots. Bags were being rattled as things were being prepared to take home or put up for the evening. Megan sighed as she carried the articles of clothing she had picked out , and took them with her.

As Megan left she kept the door halfway open as she went out into the living room. Now that Megan was gone the Akatsuki bears were able to move, and leave the box that Tobi had imprisoned them in. " Finally ! " Hidan proclaimed as Megan left the room. Stepping out of the box the Akatsuki bears could finally move their stuffed limbs . Some of the members began surveying their surroundings. Itachi noticed the book shelves , and the decorations already on Megan's bed. It was only when Pein cleared his throat did he get the others attention. " Now that we are out of the box ? Tobi explain to us what it is exactly we are doing here. Where are we, and what is this jutsu that you used ? " Pein questioned as he turned to Tobi. " The other members were quiet as Tobi jumped up and down excitedly. " Well like Tobi said. Tobi brought you here as Tobi's Christmas gift to everyone. When Tobi means every I also mean Megan too. While Tobi was here he discovered technology that our world doesn't even have yet . Also Tobi wanted to be a good friend, and help someone that was going to be alone for Christmas. " " Did you have to turn us into teddy bears though ?" Sasori asked. " Well.. Some of you are intimidating, and Tobi didn't want Megan to get hurt when you met her. " Tobi answered " So Tobi made some of you more cuter that way she isn't so intimidated , and try to run away. " While Tobi was giving his explanation Itachi, Kisame, , and Deidara were walking around the bed looking around the room .

" I see... Well for now let's divide and find out what our hostess is like. For now Kisame. Itachi I want you to keep watch at the door, and the people outside . The rest of us will look around this room, and try to find out some things. Jumping off the bed Itachi, and Kisame headed towards the door in order to keep an eye on the activity in the house.

In the mean time Tobi ! I want you to find away to undo this jutsu. " Tobi laughed to himself as he went back to the box where he found the scroll in question.

A silent morning

Yoongi’s shirt was soft under your fingers as you traced small shapes into the material covering his chest, the white fabric tickling your fingertips slightly, your eyes traveled from your slender fingers and towards the window. The sun was halfway over the horizon, its golden arms reaching out and covering its surroundings in a blanket of warmth letting everyone know it was time to wake up. Your eyes followed a ray of light and observed how it painted Yoongi’s skin, the light bounced so beautifully off his pale skin you couldn't help but admire it. The little show didn’t last long though as the sweet song of a bird snatched your attention, on the balcony railing sat a Northern cardinal ruffling its feather slightly as it sang into the morning air. Your hand had stopped its small dance and you lifted your head of Yoongi’s chest to get a better look of the small singer, a content smile pulling on the corners of your lips.

You loved mornings like this where the two of you just laid there, neither of you having to rush off to work or having to wake up to a cold bed. You furrowed your eyebrows, it was actually a bit cold, reaching down and grabbing the edge of the blanket you slowly pulled it up. The creamy white duvet crept over your hips and Yoongi’s hand which was circled around your waist. You pulled the fabric all the way up to your neck before cuddling into Yoongi's side more. Nothing could ruin this.

You couldn’t stop your mind from racing as you laid in there in the silence, memories speed by behind your eyes, all of them having one common theme. Yoongi. You had been dating him for more than two year now and those were the happiest years of your life, you would trade them for nothing. You were sure Yoongi felt the same. Those two years felt so long yet so short, your arm laid lazily over his stomach as you stroked his side, he had changed so much. It was of course not something bad, it was normal for people to change a little in relationships. At first it was small things like him starting to sleep on his back instead of a ball on his side so you could cuddle him. Or him buying sweet snacks and drinks to satisfy your sugar addiction, but soon you started noticing how he had started opening up more, how he would laugh more. How he showed more of himself. Many said that it was your contrasting personalities that was the reason. It was actually not that uncommon for people to comment about your differences. your eyebrows furrowed again as you snuggled closer to Yoongi seeking some comforts careful of not making his hand drop from its place on your waist. There was always some drunk, lonely lowlife or second time married old hag that had something to say, “you two are like fire and water, it won’t work”, “He’s totally not your type!”, “I didn’t expect you to date someone so… emotionally distant”. Your shoulder twitched, you had heard it so many times, why could people not see how happy and in love you two were? Why were they so insistent on ruining your happiness?

You were different, you knew that. He liked scary horror movies, you like fast action movies, he slept like a log, you woke up at the slightest touch, he wasn't scared to speak his mind, you bit your tongue a lot. But the biggest thing you had in common was your love, so why, why did any of those differences matter? Your worried eyes inched up to his face, it was just as peaceful as ever, a big contrast from the raging storm that was taking place in your mind. Your head fell to his chest again and a sigh escaped your pouting lips, people had always been the cause of problems for the two of you. You thought back to the first ever big fight had, it was all because of a lonely bitch that had too much time. It was in the middle of April and you had attended a spring party with Yoongi. A girl had walked up to you as you were getting a drink and the two of you started talking, she seemed lovely at first but soon the conversation switched You had told her that you came with your boyfriend Yoongi which she responded to with a gasp. At first you thought it was because she was a fan of him, it wasn’t the first time someone reacted like that and you weren't shocked given his level of fame. But before you were able to offer to get her an autograph she leaned forward and said “you’re dating him?”. You blinked at her “Is there a problem?” you were puzzled by her confusion about your relationship, that was only the beginning as she then went on about how Yoongi wasn’t the love-dovy type and that you were only setting up yourself for heartbreak. Ten minutes in and on the verge of tears from anger you excused yourself through gritted teeth and a small bow. You had searched for Yoongi and begged to go home and that night was spent arguing. He wasn't happy, saying how rude it was to leave his friend’s party early because some girl was talking nonsense, but you didn't care. No one would talk like that about your Yoongi.

You let out a sigh looking up and instantly felt your body relax as Yoongi’s face once more came in veiw. You pushed yourself onto your elbow, Yoongi’s hand falling onto the bed with a small thud but you didn’t notice as you leaned forward and pressed small light kisses against his fair skin. Your mouth trailed from his soft plush lips to his plump cheeks and down onto his slim neck, you couldn’t help the smile from spreading over your face as you slid down again and rested your head on his chest where it belonged. Your fingers once more began dancing over Yoongi's white shirt, the sun's light had filled more of the room coating the furniture with a light white layer and you heard the small bird stretch its wings and fly away as you closed your eyes. You really loved mornings like these where neither of you had to rush off to work or wake up to a cold bed. There was only one thing which you missed though and it was the steady and calm thuds that would usually echo from inside Yoongi’s chest.

Thx for reading, I don’t write that often and it’s my first time writing fanfiction(?) or anything that has to do with romance, so please let me know how I could improve. Have a great day! Ehh im not sure if the ending was clear but the “calms and steady thuds” that she missed was supposed to be his heart best AKA he was dead the whole time, i wasn't sure if that was clear, but I don’t think it was that bad!

(Sorry for the slight break. Got caught up with something)

Anyways, dragon boy Volvagia. Now I will say ...I had completely forgot that Nintendo already had s humanized design for him. But I mostly stuck with his Ocarina of Time form.

Boss fight and temple

The fight is very similar to how it is in game. With slight tweaks here and there. But the most important thing to note, he talks trash to you during it. Mainly when you first enter his boss room. Hell laugh at your attempt to make him rest and all and will emerge from underground.

That's important. When he does, he flicks his hair around. Being able to hit Link if hes lucky to do so.

Now as far as I'm aware ..He had actually killed Darunia and taunts Link with the Medallion. (The other one I think wouldve been killed would either be Impa and or Saria)

Hell become aware you have the hammer and will make it hard to hit him. When he comes up From the ground, be mindful of how he does, if it's his head first. You can step closer. If it's his hands first. Back up. Hell use his hands as leverage to force himself up and will swing his hair around to hit you. (I feel like it would be on fire. But not actually hurting his hair. But hed use that to his ability to catch Link on fire if hes to close)

Now, when he stops and calms down after swinging his hair around. Hell slightly sink back where he popped out of and hold his head. This is when you strike. Either go for hammer attacks (his weakness) or aim at the green gem on his head with an arrow (or longshot. Or hookshot) and stun him. Then attack while hes stunned.

After being hit. When he comes to his senses after slinking back from being hit. Hell get mad and fly up to the ceiling and make it rain rocks down onto you. At this point it's best to get out of the way till he goes back underground. Cause hes mad and trying to hit him with an arrow will make him fly around with a rock to drop on you.

Once he goes back underground. Hitting him a few more times will make him stop Link (even if hes in mid hit. Think or Girahim stopping your sword) and complain about the headache he now has and will cave in. This is one boss you dont kill. Hell go back underground after some complaining and will drop down a heart container and the Medallion for you to leave.

..all you did was just give him a headache and he gave up.

So, I forgot to mention that when you enter the boss room. When he laughs at you. Hell show you the Medallion in clear veiw. But your first thought would be that he just took it form Darunia, however it's like he read your mind and deny that claim.

"You know hero, hes already dead. Theres no point in trying to save him." He snickered, Kinda floating in the air. Legs crossed and tossing the Medallion up in the air and catching it. "What was his name?...Darunia?...yeah that's it, he didnt even bother to use that hammer that you have. It's not gonna work. Just give up."

(..he wasnt ment to give off Girahim vibes just so you know. I realized while halfway through colouring his outfit that he did. Also I wanna turn this into an actual Au. I have some parts other than the bosses figured out. So you should maybe send in questions I wanna see if this would be a good Au idea)

Finding Help In Unlikely Places

Bingo Spot: Nightmare Summary: After Anastasia is woken up from a nightmare she is comforted by an unexpected person Words: 1.2k Warning: a bit of angst at first but it turns into fluff A/N: It does have an OC character in it but here is the link to her character description

[Anastasia’s Point of Veiw]

“Mrs. Smirnov!”

I jerk awake breathing heavily. My eyes blink the haze away and I register where I am, in bed.

“Mrs. Smirnov you were having another nightmare. Would you like me to alert Mr. Stark?”

I shake my head and drag my hands down my face. “No that will be alright.”

Without a second thought, I head out the door, but by the time I am halfway down the hall, I regret my decision entirely. My body shivers when I realize it is the middle of winter and I forgot to change out of my tank top and shorts. When I have nightmares most of the time I hyperventilate as well so Jarvis opens all the windows to let fresh air in. He hopes the cold breeze will be like a slap in the face to drag me out of a trance. And he opened the windows again, but there is a freezing breeze following me down the hallway.

I aimlessly walk down the hall until I stop at the common room. Heading for the fridge, I stalk towards the kitchen and grab the leftovers from earlier tonight.

Crash!

I dropped the plate. Tears well up and press against my eyes and I can’t control them anymore. They drip down my face slowly at first, but as the damn breaks down they fall fast and fat. My body lurches forward as a sob racks through me and I slap a hand over my mouth. Pain explodes through my back as I slid down the cabinets onto the cold floor.

“Anastasia?” a gravelly voice calls.

I gasp a quiet yes and the word is muffled by my hand still trapped over my mouth.

Bucky walks around the corner of the counter and sits down next to me. He gives me a respectful distance and keeps his hands where I can see them without touching me. “You okay?”

Another choked yes tumbles out of my mouth.

“No your not. And I understand if you don’t want to talk but I know what the PTSD-panic-attack-crying looks like and this is it, my friend.”

“I- No I’m fine.” I try my best to keep my words steady but they jump and shake as they make their way out.

“Is there anything I can do for you?” he asks. His blue eyes sparkle as he turns his head towards me.

“Stay with me?” I whisper not baring to look at him.

He whispers a small of course and slides down a little lower, to get comfortable. I scootch closer and lay down, with my head in his lap. His body tenses up a bit before he registers this as an act of comfort.

“Do you want to talk about it?”

“It’s the same as always. Flashbacks of things I don’t remember living through.” My body shudders. “My mom dying. My dad dying. The Chitauri attack. just can’t take it anymore!” I practically shout the last part as the tears come back.

Bucky is silent for a moment before saying, “Steve is much better at this than me.” He goes quiet again. I feel like he is thinking back to every time he was in this same position with Steve. Tentatively, he reached out to run his finger through my hair. Shakily at first, as to not scare me off but more sure when I don’t flinch away.

“What would Steve usually say?” I ask looking up at him.

“He would usually tell me about his day or describe one of the new drawings he is doing. Basically, just take my mind off of it until my breathing calms and we can talk it through.”

There is another moment of silence before you say, “Tell me about your day.” “Well first I woke up and Steve was already gone,” he starts. “I went to the kitchen to see that he was struggling to make us breakfast. He claimed that he was trying to make me breakfast in bed before we go work out. The pancakes were burning and the smoothy was splattered all over the walls. We had so much fun spending over an hour cleaning up the kitchen, just fooling around flicking batter all over each other and smooshing strawberries into our mouths. After that, we took a shower together before getting ready for a workout.” He pauses for a moment, chuckling. “I’m sure you’ve seen it, Steve has the tightest shirts I have ever seen!”

“They are pretty bad,” you mumble.

“The absolute worst! Anyway,” he says shaking his head, “we went for a run and beat our previous record with twenty miles in thirty-five minutes. Next, we went back to the gym here in the tower and did some weight training. We each tried to out bench-press each other before Steve pulled something. But thanks to his super-soldiery-shit it only took him the walk back to our apartment to heal back up. We spent the afternoon watching old Disney movies before Jarvis told us that Stark needed us. All it turned out to be was because he was nervous about what to get Pepper for their anniversary. We settled on an edible arrangement, minus the strawberries of course, and a diamond necklace. It was quite beautiful.” He stops running his hands through your hair and starts braiding it. “We ordered in Chinese food and finished our paperwork after yesterday’s mission. That is pretty much it.”

“Tell me about the 40s,” you breath.

“Life was a lot simpler. The food was bland, the TVs black and white. The women were a lot easier to swoon back then, but in reality, I only had eyes for Steve, but that wasn’t allowed back then. Life was less fast-paced. The war was awful, people leaving left and right but never coming back. Obviously, we didn’t have most of the luxuries we have today, but even if we did Steve and I could never afford it. Music was much more upbeat back then. But I do enjoy modern rock music, it is more entertaining.”

My eyes are struggling to stay open and my breathing has evened out. I feel him shift underneath me until Bucky is standing with cradled in his arms. The gentle sway of him walking is what finally lulls me to sleep.

[Bucky’s Point of View]

I can’t bear to put her back in her bed where she will be all by herself so I bring her down to Steve and I’s floor.

When I get there Steve is sitting on the counter drawing and the sun is starting to poke through the horizon. Steve gives me a questioning look when he sees Anastasia in my arms but I ignore him for a moment choosing to walk her down the hallway to our room. I set her down on our bed and cover her with the blankets.

“What is that about?” Steve asks when I get back to the kitchen.

“I couldn’t sleep so Jarvis sent me up to her floor to help her out. She has been having a bunch of nightmares lately and he thought I could help.”

The elevator opens and Tony struts out already wearing a suit.

“Do you sleep in that thing, Stark?” I tease.

“No mocking today, Buckeroo. I saw how you were with her.”

I tense up nervous I unknowingly did something wrong.

“I know you too have been wanting to adopt children for a while now and have been waitlisted several times. Thankfully her adoption to me has not been finalized just yet. How would you two like to be legal guardians to our little Anastasia?”

Humans are weird

Where I live it has been extremely hot and dry for months and then finally some rain came. And along with the rain came thunder and lightnings. Since I have been way too hot for a while, I wanted to go for a walk in the rain, and halfway through I started thinking about it from a more objective point of veiw.

Now, imagine that some alien who has never known the concept of a storm saw this.

“It has been dry and safe for months, and you want to go out when water comes pouring down from the sky?”

“Wait a second, what was that light?”

“You are telling me that giant electrical charges are being released from the sky, and you ignore the risk of being hit to go out and get wet?”

*Thunder*

“WHAT! ...was that?”

“You are ENJOYING this?!”

“Have you seen all that water? The roads are almost flooding - GET INSIDE!”

Young hope: Chapter 9

On the outskirts of town stood a big skate park. Mally was riding through the rails, sparks trailing behind her as she grinds. She jumps from the rail onto a wall which she road and bounced off to the bowl, which she used as a ramp to flip over to the half pipe. After riding up the half pipe, she jumps high in the sky and does twirls in the air and lands on the edge. She stretches her limbs out as she stands on the edge of the half pipe. “Ah, feels good to be at an actual skate park for once.”. Looking out, she has a view of the whole park. Rails, bowls, ramps, walls, even a loopdeeloop, all right in Townsville skate park. “Streets are nice. But you kinda have to take in stuff like cars, crack, pedestrians, and that stuff sucks. But out here, I don’t have to worry about any of that. I can skate on to my hearts content. Traffic accidents be dammed!”. Mally looks around the skate park and says: “Now how am I gonna get enough speed to get through that loopdeeloop?”. She starts to trace a path through the park in her head, determining where she might go. “I could go from the half pipe, jump in the rail, up that ramp, bounce of the wall and-”. Mally then looks over and sees somebody hanging on the opposite side of the half pipe. It was a young woman, whose bright green roller blades matches with her striped bright green undershirt that was under her short sleeved dark green jacket. The clown cap with dark green highlights under her magenta hair went with the jacket nicely. The woman dropped down onto the half pipe and jumped right in front of Mally. She then skated out of the pipe jumped onto a rail, which she then jumped out to the half pipe. The woman then jumped down into the bowl and jumped out of it onto the end of a ramp. She sped through the loopdeeloop and off the ramp on the end to back flip and land on the ground. “Whoa.” Mally gushed in awe. She watched as the woman skated over to a green duffle bag and grabbed it as she skated out of the park. Curious, she skated after the magenta woman, leaving the park and finding her walking down the street. She speeds after her as the woman walks through an intersection. She tries to follow her, but is cut off due to traffic. Determined not to quit, she backs up a fair bit before skating to get a running start. Grabbing onto a way wards streetlamp, she spins around and ascends, jumping from the lamp over the intersection. Landing on the other side, she blows on her hands to cool them, remarking: “Man, I wish I could to that without burning my hands.”. She sees the woman climbing up a weird rock wall to a forest without hesitating, follows in after. With the rough terrain, she takes off her skates and puts them and her helmet away. Walking through the forest, she listens to the chirping of the birds and the whistles of the wind, a colorful bird flutters through the trees. She then sees the woman nearby and hides. As Mally gets closer, she sees the woman scanning the area, as if she was hunting. The careless girl steps on a twig and breaks it. Before the woman could look over, Mally swiftly gets behind a nearby tree. “That was close. She almost spotted me. But what’s she doing out here?” she thinks. Just then, a laser pierces through the tree, barely hitting her head. “Alright, come on out. I know you’re back there.” the woman says as she holds a laser pistol. Mally slowly comes out from behind the tree with her arms halfway up. The woman puts down her gun as soon as she sees Mally. “A kid?”. Seeing the woman putting down the weapon, Mally immediately went from frightened, to angry. “What the hell’s the big idea for!? You almost blew my head off!”. “Why are you following me like some kind of creepy stalker?” the woman boldly retorts. Mally calms down and says nervously: “Um-Uh..I-I saw you pull off that cool loopdeeloop at the skate park and was wanting to ask h-how you did that.”. The woman groans and pinches her big pink nose, then starts shoving Mally back. “Hey, what are you doing!?” Mally shouts. A long eared, beige fox prowled around the forest ground, scurrying for food. When it sees Mally and the lady coming, it bolts away. “You can’t be in here, kid. I’m following a lead and I can’t lose it to babysit some brat in the middle of the woods.”. “A lead? Are you some kind of detective?”. “Something like that.” the woman says “What are you following?”. “Some guy called Nonya bidness.”. “Nonya bid- Hey! Don’t give me fake names like that!”. “Never mind, kid. Just shove off back home.”. Reaching the end of the forest, both of the were shocked to see the sight in front of them. “What?” Mally says. In front of of the were miles of ocean, Townsville fading into the horizon. “Where’s the town going?” Mally asks. The woman checks her phone and sees she has no signal. She sighs, saying: “Dammit.”. She turns Mally towards her and says: “Alright, listen up kid. As long as your with me, you’re gonna have to do exactly what I say, when I say it. Nothing else, got it?”. “My names, not kid. It’s Mally.” “Fine. Mally. Whatever. Just do what I say so you don’t die.”. “Jeez. Fine.”. Both of them start heading back into the wood, as whispers under her breath: “Ya grump.”. As they walk through the jungle grove, Mally asks: “So what’d you really come in here for?”. The woman groans and says: “I was looking for some weird elf guy that had been stealing from pharmacies.”. “An elf?”. “Yep. Thinking it might be the one whose piloting this moving island. If I can find it. I can get it to steer this thing back to land and get you back home.”. “What? No way. You already got me hooked. I can’t back out now.”. “Ki- (groans) This ain’t some amusement park. I don’t know if this elf is deadly or not and I don’t want a kids deaths on my conscious.”. “I ain’t some defenseless wimp. I can take care of myself. Just give me something, I can prove it.”. The woman groans and says: “Fine.”. She then digs into her bag and pulls out a two hockey sticks, one smaller then the other. She throws Mally the smaller stick. Catching it, she says: “A hockey stick?”. “Expecting something better?”. “Why not that laser pistol?”. Thr woman break out laughing, saying: “You really think I’d trust some kid with a laser pistol. I ain’t that dumb.”. As she stops chortling, she finishes with: “Beside, its outta juice.”. As the woman zips up her bag, Mally looks at the worn hockey stick and shrugs. “Now stay close.”. Continuing to hike, they pass by scurrying lemurs. The woman looks back to Mally and sees her swinging and twirling her newfound weapon. She looks ahead and spots something in the distance. The woman pulls Mally behind and tree. “Hey, what’s-”. The woman quickly puts her hand over Mally’s mouth and goes: “Shhh.”. Mally pulls the woman’s hand off her mouth and whispers: “What are we whispering about?”. Both of them look behind the tree and see a pale lumbering monster with enlarged claws and legs with a tiny head. “What is that?” Mally asks. “Not to sure. Looks like a monster of some kind. Hang back.”. The woman slowly come from behind the tree and sneaks towards the pale beast. She sneaks around to its back, being careful not to make a sound. She brandishes here hockey stick and readies to swing. She stops when both her and the monster hear Mally running at the monster from the side. The monster lifts its large hand and swings overhead down at it’s oncoming attacker. “Dammit.” the woman cursed. Mally side steps out of the beasts attack and swings at its side. The monster swipes at her, Mally ducking to avoid its sharp claws. The woman jumps from behind and hold the beasts neck with her hockey stick. The monster flails around trying to get her off, swinging its large arms around. Mally swiftly evades the arms and strikes the monsters leg to try and topple it, but they were too thick to trip. The pale beast shakes the woman off and slaps Mally away with great force. As Mally was flying back, her hockey stick hooked onto a branch and send her upwards. She landed on the branch perfectly on her feet to her own astonishment. She looked at the wooden weapon in her hand, wondering how it didn’t break. Mally then looks back and sees the pale beast blocking the green capped woman attacks. The monster then tried to crush her in between its palms, but the woman ducked and struck it in the side of its stomach. Grasping its bruised stomach, the white demon backs away as it looks at its attacker, giving a smug smile and waggling its finger at it. She then hooks onto the beasts legs and trips it up. The young woman lunges, aiming for the monsters head. The demon raises its thick arms above its head to block its opponent. Mally watches the fight from above, seeing the beast get up and strike at the young woman. The green capped girl dodges to the white demons side and try to strike the side of its head. The beasts blocks again and swipes at her. The woman jumps up and tries her hand at an over head strike. The beast raises its hands above its head and blocks once more. With the woman landing in front of it, the monster tries to smash her in using its big legs, but she evades its crushing blow, leaving behind a print on the ground. Mally then realized what she was trying to do. “Oh, I get it. She aiming for its head. With it being so small, I bet it can’t take a big hit.”. She saw how the monster was not taking its eyes off its opponent. She was trying to think of a way to strike at the monster, when suddenly some sunlight got in her eye. Looking up, she saw branches decorating trees, their leaves blocking out the sunlight leaking through the treetops. Snapping her finger, she says: “There!” before jumping towards the nearest branch, using her hockey stick to hook on them. After that, she jumped towards the next one. She keep repeating this until she nears the treetops. Looking down, her veiw of the fight was much smaller, she couldn’t even tell what was happening, just that the woman was darting around the white demon. Using her thumb to aim, bounces on the branch before jumping down jumps down. While dodging, the woman sees Mally dropping down, brandishing her hockey stick, seeing that she was going to miss. She acted quick and pushed the beast towards Mally's range. Mally bashes the white demon in the head. “Yeah!” she shouts as she lands. The monster tumbles for a bit before falling to the ground. With the battle over, the both of them approach and look down on the fallen beast “Is it dead?” Mally asks. “After poking their newly defeated foe with her hockey stick, the woman concluded with: “Yep, its deader then death.”. “My first kill…”. Mally starts to giddy with a smile, then jumps saying: “Awesome! And its a huge monster of all thing. Wait til my brothers hear about this.”. “You wouldn’t have struck the finishing blow if it weren't for me. Better yet, we wouldn’t have to go through all that if you didn’t just run at it like a suicidal maniac.”. Upset how quickly the woman brought down her moment, she folds her arms while giving a huffed face. Just then, they heard the sound of thunderous footsteps approach. Turning around, they saw a whole pack of those huge white demons closing in. Backing up, the woman says to Mally: “So, how fast do you think you can run...Kid?”. Hearing no response, she turns around and sees Mally darting away in the opposite direction. The woman runs away, catching up to the girl. “So now what?” Mally asks. “Not sure. Gimme a second.”. Mally looks around, only seeing passing trees. “Maybe we should go up. I don’t think their big feet would be good for climbing.” she suggests. The woman uses her hockey to hook onto one of the branches, grabbing a hold of Mally as she pulls herself up. They ascend up halfway to the treetops, where they saw the pack of demons swarm around the bottom of the trees. The monsters scrap away at the tree in an effort to climb up, but slide down due to their heavy ankles. “Hey, it worked. Good thinking.” the woman says. Mally shows a big smile to the woman, which was again broken when the tree they were standing on began to shake. Looking back down, they see the beasts striking at the trees. “There trying to knock us down. What do we-”. Mally looks over and sees the woman putting on a pair of skate. “What are you doing?”. “Hey, Kid. How good can you skate?”. “I’ll have you know I can skate like crazy. Why?”. The girl sees the woman take off and jump to the next branch, grinding on the wood as she traversed. “Oh.”. After putting on her skates she jumps off from the tree just as it falls down, following the woman as she grinds. Looking back, she sees the mob of white demons chasing after, getting further and further away from them. She then sees the woman take her hockey stick and hook onto one of the above branches to flip off. Using the momentum from her speed, she flips up towards the treetops. Mally pulled her stick out and tried the same thing. She hooks the branch and starts to flip. Using the momentum, she sends herself up towards the treetops and lands on one of the branches. “Cool.”. Mally pushes herself off and grinds onto another branch. With her newfound skill, she picks up more speed by jumping off a tree and hooking onto another branch. With the added momentum, she ascends further, almost towards the treetops. Upon landing, she looks forward, barely able to see the green capped lass. Thinking with one big jump, she might be able to catch up. Mally darts out towards her, pushing herself off from tree to tree when she lands on a branch to gain more speed. She hooks onto the branch and rockets into the sky. Flying past the trees, she sees over the island and towards the vast blue sea. Looking to her right, she sees waves along the water moving away from the island. Something below the island was making those waves, but couldn’t make out what it was. Before she could have time to register what it might be, Mally starts to plummet back down. She falls past the trees and starts to rocket towards the ground. Halfway down, something catches her. She looks over and sees the green capped woman hooked her in with her hockey stick. As she dragged her back onto the tree, the woman warned Mally: “Easy kid.” Putting her back on the branch, the woman adds: “You gotta control yourself. You’re lucky we lost those white things.”. “Listen, I saw something. When I was up there. I saw the island moving.” Mally says. “Well, no duh. Why do you think we’re trapped here.”. “No. I think something is moving the island. Like it was paddling it away.”. “Really? What was it?”. “I...I don’t know. All I saw was the water splashing.”. “You know where you saw it?”. “Yeah, it was right...uh..” the girl as she turned around. Looking around she tried to remember which direction she saw the splashing water. “Um...Was it...No...Ah! I can’t tell where! Everything around here looks green!”. As Mally was looking around, the woman looked over and saw a figure staring at them in the distance. Squinting out, all she could make out was its long pointy ears. Her target perhaps? Not hesitating, the green capped girl immediately heads towards the figure. Mally turns back, stating: “Wait a second! I didn’t say where yet.”, then chases after the woman. Getting a closer look, the woman realized that intuition was correct and that the figure was an elf. One wearing a Chinese robe. Just before she lands on the branch the elf was on, he jumps away, casting out vines from his hands to swing to the next branch. Mally catches up just when the woman continues the chase, leaving her behind. “Wait a minute!”. She sees beside her a photograph. Picking it up, she thinks that it dropped out of the woman pockets and grinds after her. “Hey, wait up!’. The green capped lass chases the elf out of a jungle forest and more to a temperate woods. She jumps towards one of the trees and using her hockey stick spirals down and jumps to the next tree. Mally brandishes her stick and tries the same thing, only to fly off. She saves herself by hooking onto a wayward branch and sees the elf swing to the ground, darting away from his pursuer. Mally slides off the tree and sees the woman in her pursuit. She quickly gets up and follows. The woman chases the stranger through tall, dense shrubs, where she found herself atop a cliff. Although she could see the ocean from miles around, she saw no sign of her target. Mally catches up to her, says: “Hold on! Hold on!” After looking out towards the ocean, she looks at the woman and asks: “Was that the elf you were chasing after?”. “Damn it! Lost him!” the woman shouts as she slaps her hat against her knee. “Hey, its okay. I mean as long as he doesn’t know how to swim, he has nowhere to go, right?”. “Hmm, guess so.” the woman says as she puts her hat back on. “Oh, hang on.” Mally exclaimed. She pulls out the photo out of her pocket and gives it to the woman. “Here.”. The woman saw the photo of a younger girl that looked like her alongside a boy dark skin and green tinted glasses. “What the-!”. She quickly snatches the photo out of Mally’s hands. “Did you pick this out of my pocket!?”. “What!? No! You dropped it when you went after that elf. Why would I try and steal something out of your pockets?” Mally says as the woman puts away the photo. Distracted, they didn’t see someone approaching them from behind. Just when the woman realizes there was someone behind her, she was pushed off the cliff. Mally watches as the green capped woman plummeted towards the ocean. “Ash-...Uh, Barb-...Eh, whoever you are!”. That same something pushes Mally of next, leading down to the sea. Both girls splash down toward the water. While the woman calmly surfaces, Mally struggles to stay afloat. “What’s wrong with you!?” the woman shouts. “I don’t know how to swim either.” Mally says as she flails about. The woman swims over to the girl and grabs her to keep her from drown. “Ah...Ah, thank you.”. Mally looks over and is astonished by what she sees. “Oh my god.”. “What? What do you s-...s-...see..” the woman says as she look at what Mally sees. Her speech drops as she flabbergasts at the site before. “That’s why its moving.” Mally states. Before them was the head of a giant turtle, its dim, crust filled eyes staring out into the ocean. “It’s a giant turtle.”. “Hey! over here! Look!” Mally shouts. “Ah! What are you doing?” the woman asks. “I’m trying to get its attention. Hey! Down here! You got guests!”. The turtle doesn’t respond, as if it doesn’t know that they’re there. “I don’t think it can here you.”. “It doesn’t look so good.” Mally worries. “What makes you say that?”. “Look at its eyes, they’re crusty and colorless. Its skin is pale and gray.”. The turtle blows out a long and exhausted sigh. “What you thinks wrong with it?”. “Well, I’d be pretty sick if I had those white things on my back too.” the woman says as she swims back to the edge of the turtle. Getting back on the shell, Mally looks over to the turtles head. “How do you think we can help it?”. The woman shrugs and walks off, saying: “Don’t know.”. Mally walks after her, saying: “We gotta do something. It looks like its about to keelover.”. “Listen kid. That turtle ain’t my problem. The only thing I’m worried about is finding that elf and getting you home. Come on.”. With that, Mally stops in her tracks, sad that the green capped woman refuses to help. That sadness boils into anger, when Mally stomps her foot and declares: “No!”. “What?”. “I’m not going anywhere until we fix the turtle.”. “Kid, it might be too late to even do anything. We’d be wasting our time.”. “That’s better then doing nothing.” Both of them were looking at one another, until somebody broke the silence. “Do you really want to help her.”. They look over and see the elf, awaiting a response. While the lady brandishes her hockey stick, Mally simply replies with: “Yeah.”. “Then come with me.” The elf turns around and calmly walks deeper into the woods. The woman watches as Mally follows the stranger. “What are you doing?” the woman cautiously asks. “I’m helping.” Mally responds with a disgruntled tone. Having little other option, the woman groans and puts away her weapon, following the both of them. Sitting on a big stone slate in the middle of a calm and serene part of the woods, the lady stares at the elf with a discerning eye, watching as he pours three cups of tea. He hands both of them their cups. While Mally takes her cup, the green capped lass refuses to, prompting the elf to sit it beside her. After the elf sips his tea, he sighs and looks up towards the tree’s. “Do you hear it… the sounds of the forest?” he says. Mally listens and hears the sound of the birds chirps, echo through the woods. She sees sloths hanging onto the branches of the trees. “Amazing, is it not. To think that this turtle was once the size of an egg, barely able to carry even a pebble around. And now its carrying an entire forest full of animals from all over the world on its back. Truly wonderful.”. “Hey, uh. Hate to spoil the mood, but mind telling us a couple stuff?” the woman hastes. “Like?”. The lady was about to speak, when Mally cut her off, asking: “What making this turtle so sick? It looks like its dying.”. “More importantly, who are you? What were those white things that attacked us? Why were you stealing from pharmacies”. “In order to answer all your questions. I must first tell you of an ancient Chinese tale. One that dates back over 1,000 years.” “Oooh.” Mally goes. “Oh god dammit...” the woman says in impatience. A small turtle egg, buried in the beach. Hatching from its shell, it crawled out of the sands, expecting to greet its fellow tortoises. But when she surfaced, no one was around. It looked everywhere along the beach in hopes of finding its family, but to no avail. Having nowhere else to go, she awaited, hoping for them to return. From a nearby kingdom, a young boy watched as the turtle sat patiently on the beach. Days pass, the turtle was dry, cold and starving. The boy worried for the baby tortoise. Snatching up the turtle from the beach, the boy quickly ran back to his home in an effort to save the dying tortoise. He took her to the koi pond in his garden, where everyday he fed the tortoise until her color came back. When the turtle was healthy again, the boy decided to keep her as a pet, hoping it would upset the loneliness in his heart. From the day forward, the boy had addressed her by one lone name. Zool. With no one else to play with, not even his busy parents, he went to the koi pond to play with Zool everyday. As the years went by, their love for one another grew, as did Zool. Eventually, when she grew too big to hide, the boy parents found out and told him that he could no longer house her in the pond. With nowhere else to go, the boy returned Zool to the same beach where he found her. He knew that he could no longer keep her. With a magic stone that the boy received for his birthday, he recites an enhancement. “Ravos, elfin guardian. Come forth and fulfill my wishes.”. He asked the guardian to protect and care for his friend during her voyage. Zool wanted to go back to the boys home with him, but the boy wanted her to part, promising that one day, he would return to her side. Refusing to leave, the guardian was forced to carry the tortoise into the ocean, crying out as she watched her life long friend depart.”. After hearing the story, the woman noticed Mally crying into her teacup. “That...That’s so sad.” the girl sobbed, the tears running through her eyes. “Still doesn’t explain why you robbed a bunch of pharmacies, or those white monsters.” the lady said. “Ah, but my robberies do have to do with the white monsters.”. A colorful bird roost on the elf’s finger. “You see, Zool has traveled all over the globe. Exotic animals from all over the world have gathered on her back to nest.” The bird flies away, its wings casting a shadow on the three. “Unfortunately, worldwide travel brings with it exotic plagues. Most of them are harmless to her, unable to crack through Zool’s thick shell. Unfortunately, around a year ago, she’s picked up a rare virus that takes the form of the monsters you faced. Parasites that are feeding off of Zool’s grief. The broken promise made by the boy has driven her into a deep sadness.”. “Yeah, if the turtle so depressed, why don’t you try talking to her. Give her a pep talk or something.” the woman remarked. “I’ve tried. But her hearing has been worsening ever since these white monsters appeared. I fear they might be trying to block out any outside sources, to let the depression in her fester and grow. I can barely see the color in her eyes. All that she can do now is swim and house any other animals that are still alive. I’ve tried my best to fight off these parasites, but they multiply by the day. If only I’d found them sooner, they wouldn’t be so overwhelming.”. “That’s why you were robbing from those pharmacies. You wanted to try and make her feel better, or at least get rid of those monsters.” Mally said. “Yes. I’ve heard that these “pharmacies” housed medicine that might cure Zool of this plague.”. “What kind of medication have you been bringing back?” the woman says. Ravos stands up and stomps on the stone plate. A stone cabinet rose out from the middle, prompting both Mally and the lady to back away. Within its shelves stood dozens of bottles full of various medication. As the green capped lass grabs and looks at one of the bottles, Mally asks the guardian: “Have you given her all these drugs?”. “Of course not. Any medication that I feed her would be to small too have any effect. Which is why I’ve been testing them.”. The elf stamps on the giant slate again, making another platform rise. On it was one of the white demons that both Mally and the woman faced before, struggle to break free of its vine binds. Ravos takes the bottle that the woman was holding and pulls out a single tablet. Taking the vines off of the beasts mouth, he forced the monster maw open, the elf shoves the tablet down its throat. After binding the demons mouth shut, Ravos backs up, seeing the beast swallow the pill and awaiting for something to happen to the parasite. A couple seconds, the monster went back to struggling. The guardian sighs in frustration as he bends to his knees. “No matter what I try, every batch of medicine that I’ve brought back has proved ineffective. I’m running out of options.”. The woman walks over to the vine bound beast and closely looks as it growls at her, grunting as it frantically tries to break its binds. “These things are pretty mindless. Do they have some kind of queen or something?”. “Yes actually. Near the middle of the shell. Why? Do you have a plan?”. “Kinda off. This might be a hunch, but paranormal parasites like this usually have a hive mind thing going on. Take her out, then the rest should follow suit, right?”. “But the queen is surrounded by countless servants. Getting near her would be a challenge in of itself. How do you even plan on defeating her?”. The lady points to the stone cabinet full of medicine and replies with: “You got an ass load of meds on that shelf to overdose a T-rex. Just bundle them all into one and shove it down her throat.”. “Maybe. But we have nothing to hold them all together. I doubt that it will let us take. The time to drop them in.”. “What about honey?” Mally asks. “How is honey gonna help?” the green capped lass questions. “If we get some, we can stick all the drugs inside, making them all go down in one gulp.”. “Hmm...”. The elf slammed his foot once more on the stone, making another cabinet rise from the ground. “How many of those do you have?” the woman asked. The Ravos walks over to the cabinet and pulls out a glass from the shelf. “I know the perfect place we can get honey.”. He starts to walk off, asking the both of them to: “Follow me.”. As the woman watches the elf depart, she looks over to Mally, who was smiling at her. “What?”. “I knew you cared.” Mally replied. “Shut up. I just want to get back to land is all.” she pointed out as she tailed the elf. With a frown, Mally began to follow the both of them. Leaving behind the tied up parasite behind, they didn’t see the monster beginning to break its binds. Ravos lead the both of them to a grove of tall pine trees, bears lumber around, guarding the pine. “We must be careful. The bears horde the rich honey produced in those tree’s. Driving any other animals away from their golden nectar.”. A wolf begins to enter the grove, prowling to one of the pine. One of the bears spots the wolf, growling at the dog to try and drive it away. The wolf growls back to try and heed back the bear, until other ursas join in. The wolf then wimpers as it runs out. “Alright. Lets take them down.” the woman says as she grasps her hockey stick, ready for action. “No. We must not harm them. I will distract the ursa while you climb up to gather honey.”. The elf rushes out towards the shrubs towards the pack of bear. “Wait. What do we do about the bee’s?”. The lady shrugs and says: “Guess we do whatever.”. Ravos quickly sprints past the numerous bears, making them chase after him. While they were distracted, both girls climb up the nearest tree they can and start to climb up. Mally looks towards the elf leading the grizzlies away and asks the woman: “Do you think he’ll be okay?”. “He’ll be fine. Come on.”. Both of them make it up to a hole in the tree. Looking inside, they see a hollow full of bees buzzing around through the hive full golden honey. “That’s a lot of bee’s” Mally remark. “Yep.”. The woman pulls out a grenade out of her bag and takes the pin out with her teeth. “Fire in the hole.”. “Whoa! Whoa Whoa! Whoa! We can’t blow them up. You heard what Ravos said .” Mally objects. “Kid, relax. Its a sleep grenade. It’ll just make them pass out.”. The woman chucks the grenade in the hole and warns: “Now hold you’re breathe.”. Both of them go behind the tree before the grenade goes off. Smoke erupts from the hole, leaking out to the sky. “There we go.”. The lady pulls out the glass jar and approaches the hollow. “Now we just take a jar full of honey and-”. Before she could finish, a swarm of bees comes out and attacks, making the green capped lass fall off. Mally catches the jar as the swarm chase the woman down. She looks down and watches the lady plummet towards the ground. Using her hockey stick, the lady hooks onto a branch and slides down to the ground. With the bees still chasing, she runs away from the swarm. After breathing a sigh of relief, Mally reaches into the hollow and pulls out a jar full of honey. “Got it.”. She looks down towards the woman being chased by a swarm of bees. “I got the honey.”. “Great! Throw it to me!” the lady shouts. “What!?”. “Throw it down to me! I’ll catch it!”. Mally looks at the jar of honey and shouts: “I don’t think that’s a good idea!”. “Just do it!”. The girl thinks for a moment before she puts the jar away. “I’m just gonna climb down!” Mally shouts, Just then, she hears the sound of a monstrous scream echo through the honey grove. Down on the ground, one of the white parasites runs into the grove as it roars. The bears in response charge towards the monster. “No! Don’t!” Ravos begs the bears. As they come, the parasite begins to swipe at the territorial ursa’s, knocking them aside with its giant arms. The swarm of bees swarming the woman start to head back to its hive. With that done, she then sees Ravos rush towards the scene at hand. He jumps high into the air, casting its vines downward towards the beast. After it knocks way the last of the pack, the vines entangle the white monsters neck as Ravos lands behind it. “I will not let you harm anything else in this forest!” the guardian says with a determined glare. The parasite grabs the vines and swings the elf off around. Ravos slams into one of the trees, just in time for the woman to rush in with her hockey stick. She strikes its side, giving her an opportunity to aim for the head. The woman swings with all her might, only for the monster to grab her arms at the last second and fling her upward. The woman starts to hurdle down towards the beast as it readies to attack. Ravos pulls the green capped lass away just before the monster could strike. As the elf pulls her back, he tries to instructs the woman by saying: “Their enlarged limbs are to thick to try and attack, you must-” “I know, aim for the head.”. Both of them rush at the giant beast. As Mally watches the fight from up above, she rushes to climb down. “Gotta get down there.”. The monster knocks both of them aside. One of bears tries to strike it from behind, only for the white demon to slam it into the tree Mally was on. The tree shakes, with the girl clinging to it for dear life. It then begins to fall. Mally thinks fast and puts on her skate. She grinds down the tree as it falls, speeding towards the white demon. “Over here!” she shouts to it. The monster turns around just in time for Mally to kick it square in the stomach. The white parasite staggers, falling down on its knees as it clutches its belly. “How you like that?”. Just then, vines surround the monster entire body. Mally looks behind it and sees Ravos holding it back. With all his strength, the elf lifts the monster overhead and slams its upper half into the ground. Buried in the earth, the demon goes limp. With a sigh of relief, Ravos relaxes, knowing that the grove is safe. “That was amazing! The way you just slammed its head into the dirt was all like: Shhhoo...Boof!”. I mean that seemed like something out of an action flick.”. “I could not have done it if you haven’t given me the opening. If there’s anybody that deserves thanks, its you.” Ravos confesses. Both of them see the green capped lass approach rubbing her arm. “Dammit. I think one of those bees stung me.”. She turns to Mally and says: “What the hell, kid? Why didn’t you throw me the jar?”. “Sorry. I thought you might have been a little distracted trying to fend off a swarm of bees. I didn’t want it to break.” Mally defensively responds. “Girls.” Ravos tries to interject. “That’s not the point. You haven’t been listening all day. If you want me to help, you need you to trust me.”. “Girls.”. “And why should I? You don’t seem that eager to trust me.”. “That’s because you don’t listen!” the woman scream. “Girls!” Ravos shouts. “What!?” both of them say. They look around and see the pack waking up, approaching them with low key growls “Something tells me they’re not so thankful.” Mally states. All of them run out of the grove, a jar full of golden nectar in their possession. After stuffing all the medicine that Ravos had in the honey, all of them head to the middle of the shell. With a long trek through the trees, all of them noticed the trees near them were look rotted. They find themselves before the nest, where the woman and Mally first caught their first glimpse of the parasite queen. “That’s the queen!?” Mally exclaims. Before them was a gigantic white blob, sporting elongated arms with holes decorating the queens base. The queen was surrounded by legions of her of drones, all of them waiting to strike anything comes near. At the top of the mass was a little head with a crown like growth at the top. “Holy shit! It looks like the size of a warehouse! Are you sure the meds will work on something this massive?” the woman asks the elf. “It has to. Even if it’s for a moment. While I distract the drones at the bottom, both of you must climb up the queen and jam the medicine down her throat. No matter what happens to me. You must continue with the plan.”. “Kay.” the woman simply goes as she puts the jar in her bag. The elf swung himself towards the legion below in an effort to by the girls some time. “Come on. Lets get going.” the woman says as both of them jump. Ravos lands in the middle of enemy territory and starts by grabbing one of the parasites and swinging it towards the others. After that all of them charge at him, trying to swipe at the guardian. The elf jumps up and snags one of the monsters by the head, he pulls himself towards the beast, stomping on its cranium and hops up toward the next one. Mally and the woman lands right on the queens stomach just below its countless holes. Both of them hold on by the giants fat. “So, whats the plan?” Mally asks. “We climb up and huck the honey down its throat.”. “Come on. We need more of a plan than that.”. “How bout this. Your pretty quick on your feet. So you distract this fat bitch, while I come from behind and jam the jar in.”. “Wait, why don’t you distract her, while I chuck the jar in? You’re better at fighting.”. “But I can climb up faster.”. Mally looks up at the towering figure before her with a worried stare. “Kid, remember how I said you needed to trust me, well now I’m trusting you.”. Both of us need to do our part to save this giant turtle, got it?”. “I-”. “Great! Don’t let me down.”. The woman quickly climbs around towards the back of the behemoth. “Oh boy. Distractions, distractions. Uh...”. The girl then got an idea. She whipped out her hockey stick and jammed it into one of the fat folds. A few moments later, the queen looked down and saw Mally pounding on its flab. “Got her attention, now what?”. She looked behind her and saw one of the arms heading her way. Mally quickly ascended to avoid the queens reach. With the other hand incoming, Mally leaps towards it. She dodges its grasp and starts to run up the giants arm. With her hockey stick, Mally strikes the queen in its elbow. Before the queen could smack her, Mally jumps back towards the stomach. She sees both hands coming for her and jumps down before they can crush the girl. Mally hooks herself on one of the holes and watches as the queen punches her own stomach. The giant parasite, writhes in pain, letting out a horrid shriek. “Ha! How’s that feel for ya!?” she shouts at the queen with a confident smile. Her smile disappears when she looks back and sees Ravos fighting off the horde of monsters. She sees one of them strike him in the arm. Although she is tempted, Mally stands firm, and starts to trek back up the queen, not seeing a pair of eyes glaring through the holes. The woman on the other side of the queen climbs on the giants back. She hears the sound of monstrous grunting out nearby. She stops and looks around, wondering where it might be coming from. It isn’t until she looks down that she sees small parasites coming out of the queens holes, climbing up towards her. “Uh oh.”. She whips out her hockey stick and hits the oncoming monster, knocking them off their queen. With every couple she knocks off, dozens more climb up. The green capped lass realizes that if she didn’t keep moving, she’d be swarmed. So she jumps off the queens rubbery back and hooks onto one of the trees to jump back towards the head. Landing higher, she quickly begins to climb up, but its not long before the parasites are on her tail once more. The woman sees the back of the head, getting out the jar and prepares to dunk it into the queens throat. But the little demons soon encroach upon her legs, making her stop in her tracks. “Come on!” she strains. She tries to claw her way up as they pile onto her, but she is soon swarmed, barely able to move an inch. Mally does the best she can to avoid the queens attacks. She hooks herself on one of its arms and jumps for the head, brandishing her hockey in hopes to maybe knock it out. Just when she was close, the queen traps her between its giant hands and starts to squeeze down. Mally pushes hands away to try and ease the pressure, but her strength was not enough, as the queen was closing her grasp. She looks back to Ravos and sees him still fighting the horde of white beasts. After kicking one of them back, the guardian jumps up and snags two of them, pulling them in and making the monsters slam into one another. But as soon as he lands, he is soon grabbed by one of them by his leg and pins him down to the ground, with the others enclosing. Mally looks back at the queen, staring at her with its souless eyes. “Come on...You told me to trust you. I did everything you told me to do. So where are you!?”. The woman jumps out of the pile of little parasites, twirling her hockey stick around to get them off. She jumps to the queens head and pulls it back by its gaping maw, giving her the opportunity to shove the jar down its throat. “Yes!”. The queen grabs Mally with a single hand so she could grasp the lady on top. With the queen staring right at them, its hot breath bellowing out to them, the woman asked: “Well, we’re fucked. Any regrets?”. “I never got to skate off the Egyptian pyramids.” Mally responds. Just then, they saw the queens head slowly bobbing back and forth. Its grip on the pair starting to weaken. Ravos looked around and saw all the monsters around him starting to fall over. The one pinning him down collapses on the elf. He knocking it away as he rose to sees the queen weakening, barely able to keep its balance. “Its working.”. The queen loses her grip on its two captives, dropping them down towards the ground. While both of them landed on their feet, the woman grabs her hockey stick as it dropped down. Mally tried the same thing, expecting hers to do the same, but the stick just clonks her on the noggin. “Ah!”. As she picks the stick back up, the woman tells her: “Hey, look at that.”. Staring out, they could see the queen teetering from side to side. As the queen fell, Mally shouts: “Timber!”. The queen falls the root holding her up unbind from the shell. The impact creates a thunderous boom that shakes the whole forest, the birds flutter out of the trees. “Ha ha! We did it. The queen’s down.” “But for how long.” the woman wonders. “What do you mean?” “Kid, something that big ain’t gonna stay down for long.”. “She’s right.” Ravos confirms. Both girls turn around and see the guardian limp to them. “The queen is only knocked out. I imagine it won’t be long before it gets back up.”. “Then why did we do all this!?” Mally questions. “With the queen incapacitated, Zool’s hearing might have came back. We only have precious minutes to break through to her. Quickly!”. The elf starts to run, but soon collapses on the ground. “Ah!”. “What’s wrong!?” Mally asks. “My leg. It’s broken. My arm is too torn to cast vines either. I can’t move.”. “No problem.” the woman . Both of them turn to her to see the green capped lass with her roller blades on. “Count on me!” she says before skating away. “Wait up.” Mally says as she gets out her skates. The woman races through the jungle, passing by countless trees as she darts. No sooner, Mally joins her side. “So, whats the plan?”. “We skate as fast as we can to the head.”. “That’s it? I don’t think were gonna make it in time.”. “Got any better ideas?”. Mally looks up towards the distant treetops, the twilight sky peaking out through the leaves. “Yeah. We go up!” she says as she jumps towards the branches. She uses her hockey stick to hook one of the branches to rise, with the lady following sooth. Both of them jump from branch to branch, ascending up towards the sky. Mally misses one of them and starts to drop, but the woman quickly catches her. “Gotcha. Hang on!”. Both of them start to slow down, the overall weight dragging them. “I don’t know if were gonna make it.” the woman . Mally thinks for a moment before blurting out: “Throw me!”. “What!”. “Throw me up!”. “I don’t think that-”. “Just do it!”. The woman drops over to a nearby branch and begins to spin. She spins faster and faster and faster, until both of them are nothing but blurs. The woman then lets go of Mally, launching her quickly into the air. Mally soars past the treetops and up towards the clouds. She takes in all the breath she can and calls out: “ZOOOOOOOOOLLL!!!”. Her call echoes past the forest, past the vast ocean, past the very heavens. “I heard about you and that boy! The one who took care of you! He might be gone, but you still remember him don’t you!? I know your sad he’s gone, but as long as you don’t forget him, his memory will never die!”. How do you think he’d feel seeing you like this!?” All is quite. Zool’s head begins to rise, the color in her eyes start to return. The tortoises mouth begins to open. Out from her maw a loud roar that echoed from miles on end. A joyful smile grew as Mally plummeted to the ground. Descending through the treetops, the woman caught the girl with her hockey stick. “Good job, kid.”. Mally looked at the woman with a huge grin. As they climbed down, they heard Zool roar a second time. “What’s going on?” Mally asks. The woman looks around and see the various exotic animals stamped through, some heading up toward the trees. “I think Zool’s trying to tell us something.”. Just then, they felt the ground beneath them shake. Zool starts to topple to the side. They see the ocean coming up in front of them and try to run. But running proves fruitless as the island sized turtle flips over. Hanging on to a tree with his vine, Ravos watches as all the white parasite are cast off to the ocean with their queen. The woman start to be swept away by the current, try to grab on whatever she could to save herself. She then grabs onto a familiar looking stick. When she looks, it was her old hockey stick, Mally holding it out as she clasps both it and the tree she was on. The woman starts to climb towards her. She sees the stick is about break, and tries to hurry, but is too late as it breaks to pieces. About to fly away, Mally grabs on to the womans arm before she’s taken away. The woman sees the girl with her eyes shut tight, coughing as she holds on to the tree for dear life. Zool flips back up. Waves of water falling out to her side. The forest is drenched, the woman coughs as she regains her breath. “Kid. You actually saved my-”. The woman's smile quickly drains as she sees Mally flat on the ground. She runs towards the girl, seeing her completely motionless. “Shit!”. The green capped lass acts fast and starts to pump her chest. She then puts her mouth on the girls and starts to blow as hard as she can. She goes back and forth between pumping and giving. “Come on kid! Don’t die on me!”. One final breath, Mally awakens. She vomits out a lot of water before she catches her breathe. The woman takes huge sigh of relief. After Mally catches her breathe, she gives a wide smile before saying: “We...did it...”. Their heavy breathing is interrupted when a familiar voice says: “Indeed you have.”. Both of them look over and see Ravos limp to them. “Thanks to your actions. Zool shall live another day. Your speech to her was touching, exactly what she needed to hear.”. The elf guardian bows to the two and thanks them. “On behalf of Zool, all the creatures she harbors, and myself, we are in your debt.”. Both Mally and the woman look at one another, with Mally saying: “Hey, no problem.”. “Yeah, just taking us back home will work.” the woman finishes. Ravo’s then feels a sharp pain in his leg that makes him topple over. Mally and the lady, rush to the elf and hold him up. “There you go tough guy.”. “Please, don’t. You done more then enough. I can help myself.”. “Oh just shut up and let us carry you.” Mally retorts as they start to walk off. The woman and Mally stare out towards the sea atop Zools head as she swims back. “Man, what a day. Got to ride on a giant turtle, fought a monster, fought a giant, and saved the turtles life. He he, can’t wait to tell my mom about this.”. “Yeah, I do shit like this all the time. But its fun to have a partner around.”. “Really? Wow.”. The woman looks at Mally and says: “Hey uh, sorry about accusing you of stealing my picture.”. “Who was that with you?”. “Eh, my cousin that I hung out with a lot. I haven’t seen him in years.”. “Were you two close?”. “Very.”. Mally looks out to the sea, then something crops up in her head. “Wait a minute I didn’t even get your name.”. “Biz.”. “What?”. “It’s Biz.”. “Biz?...What kinda name is that?”. “What kinda name is Mally!?” Biz exclaimes defensivly. Both of them glare to the sea, until Mally pipes up and asks: “Hey, uh...You think after we get back to town...We...we can hang out some more?”. Biz stares at her for a moment before laughing. “Sure kid, why not. I’ll even throw in my hockey stick.”. “For real?”. “Yeah, sure. I got plenty of them. Might teach you how to fight with it when I take you along on my adventures.”. “Thanks. Maybe you can teach me a couple of those skating tricks too.” “Hee...Maybe.”. Both Biz and Mally look out as Zool swims forth, Townsville in the horizon along with the setting sun.
