The Stars Above

Worms 2: Electric Boogaloo

Shoutout to the Calamity Lore Server on Discord for helping me write this story.

Unfortunately, I would also like to let y'all know that the Calamity mod is about to undergo a big lore overhaul at some undefined point in the future, and I'm not sure how it might affect the story.

Only time will tell, I suppose.

Note (12/24/2022) - I wrote this chapter in 2020 and that lore update still hasn't come :bruh:

Kuraima rolled out of the way as the scarf-turned-monster charged at him with its gaping maw wide open.

'Damnit! A sharp weapon would be really good right about now!' He thought to himself, as he gave the worm a strong thwack with his baton, which really didn't do much except mildly rustling its jimmies.

'I'm gonna need some time to build my Rage up. Maybe my Adrenaline, too— I haven't had a chance to actually use that one. Better late than never!'

"Astrum Bless!" Kuraima called out, causing [Stella Dominus] to manifest as his baton began to glow with Astral Energy.

Helenski gasped when she saw the medallion materialize out of nowhere.

Well, that at least addressed the issue of whether or not Kuraima was familiar with the world of the supernatural.

Now, onto more pressing matters...

—

The Astral Student quickly found himself in a repetitive loop.

Dodge, thwack, dodge, whack.

Though, the beast was getting bruised with each hit, so there was at least some improvement.

"Hoh? You're still standing? Looks like I will have to switch things up!"

The Eater's jaws gripped the ground, anchoring itself as it hoisted Eatah into the air, where neon green flames formed in one hand, and a vile-looking spitball in the other.

"Haaaah!" She released a battlecry, throwing a fireball at him. It was pretty slow, so he was able to dodge it quite easily.

However, when it landed in the fountain's water pool, the water rippled quite violently, as if being displaced by the eldritch flames.

"Hohohoho~ Gaze upon my Cursed Flames! Not even water can extinguish them!"

Oh, so it's not 'as if'. As a matter of fact, it was displacing the water as it boiled it on the spot, leaving little to no room to bubble up.

.....Kuraima's face turned pale. If that shit struck him, he'd be in for a world of hurt.

'A-Alright, just...be calm...and distract her until my abilities charge up.'

"...O-Okay, but what's the spitball do?"

"...Excuse me?"

"The spitball! What the fuck does it do?!"

"What do you mean?! It's just a spitball!" She threw it at him, where he kinda just stepped to the side due to its surprisingly slow speed.

"...Oh, okay. Good to know!" He swung his baton, causing one of the many eyes on the Eater's body to pop like a balloon.
