BFB AU: Something from Another World (SFAW)

Chapter 4: More Monsters, More Fog, More to Worry

Okay, so not only we have a giant monster that came from a meteor from who knows where with us, but we also have a bunch of large insects that are agents of destruction hellbent on destroying everything they see. What's next, a bunch of unfairly fast scorpions that can shoot out some super corrosive acid that even goes through Yoyle Metal with their stingers? I guess I shouldn't really joke around. After all, ever since that meteor crash, to me, it feels like we could die at any moment.

But we don't have that monster and those bugs near us. I may have been attacked by one, but atleast it wasn't a whole swarm. I feel kind of scared that I can imagine the aftermath of a swarm attack by those bugs. I'm giving myself the shivers. Goodness..

Despite that, I feel like maybe, just maybe, one of us might have the guts to head outside. I mean, we have Bell, we could use her string to get down. But either way, despite what it looks like, no, it's definitely not gonna be me. I don't care if I'm considered a "wimp", and I don't care if that's ego-centric. After that bug attack, I'll not be convinced to go outside.

I won't be able to convince the others. They'll go convince themselves. Especially Snowball. He's eaten a Yoyleberry and now he's made of that metal. Maybe he may be able to go outside and come back without a scratch. Maybe a few, but not a lot, right?

Whatever. I'll probably not do anything. All I can do is sit on a chair next to a table in the first floor and endlessly interact with the kitchen. What else can I do?

...

Shoot, I can't think of anything. Oh well. Unlucky me, I guess.

..

...

It's quiet. Too quiet. I don't hear anyone talking upstairs. Could they be... no. They can't be. I'm overthinking.

.

..

..?

Oh wow, speak of the devil. I guess I was overthinking. I hear a bunch of contestants arguing as they come downstairs. It was something about going outside. Is that.. The Strongest Team On Earth? Well, not all of them.

...

Yup, it definitely is. Snowball, Basketball, and Bell are arguing about the situation. Wow, they're arguing so loud that it fills up the whole room. Eventually, Snowball, who's still grey from the berry, stops the arguing all at once.

"Alright! Fine!" He yelled. "If you guys won't go out there, I'll go out there myself!"

"But Snowball, it's too-" Basketball says, trying desperately to reassure him.

"Hey! I don't wanna hear it! I'm going out there!"

"How are you even going to get down there, SB!?" Bell said, trying to reassure him as well.

Snowball pauses with a look of disappointment. "I can use your string."

Bell pauses as she realized. "Oh. No. You aren't."

There was a bit of silence.

.

..

...

After a long time of thinking, Bell did a long sigh. "Fine, I'll get you down. But if you die, I'm blaming you."

"Whatever," Snowball scoffed.

Snowball and Bell went outside. Basketball was about to go with them, but she turned to look at me with a bit of surprise.

"Four!? How long have you been here!?" Basketball said alarmingly.
