Wicked [Super 4]

XIII.Change

Rock Brock (the typing mistakes were made on purpose, lemme know if there's anything you can't understand)

I'm still VERY MAD. A.t the others for making me leave my TOTALLY RAD ANF AMAZING JEEP at the Lost World unattended!!,

But since my one and only special bro (aka BESTEST FRIEND!) Franzy asked me so nicely, I guess I'll let iy slide thsi once!!

Apparewntly, they NEED the best SDVERNTURER (ME!!) to investigate the BLACK BARON'S CASTLE!! I can't refuse to help my bros, ESPECIALLY if it's Franzy!!

--Hey bros!--I tell them when we're in the Chamrleon--If we had my jeep, we'd be SO MUCH FASTER!!

The tekno suit guy looked at me weird, and then he spoke back!!

--First of all, I'm not your "bro", and second of all, the Chameleon can reach speeds no vehicle had ever been able to equal up until the moment I built it.

Ugh, he's no fun!! I bet it was his idea to leave my jeep by the cave!!!

Sparkles (or was it Twinkle??) flies to the knight's seat and asks the techno guy if she can sit there because he isn't there!!! He agrees but tells her to not touch ANYTHING. As I siad, NO FUN!!

Franz

Brock's still looking pretty irritated, but since there's just the two of us in the back of the vehicle now, I figured it might be the right time to talk to him.

--Hey, partner--I whisper--. Can we talk for a second?

--SURE, MY FRANZY!!

--Shh! I need to know a few things... How did you end up in the cave?

--Well, there was a lady with the furios and I thought that I should help her, since I'm the BEST ADVENTURER! Someone like me surely would've been able to save the day--. He confidently explains, his usual grin coming back for the occasion.

--Purple hair, weird black hands and a staff?

--How'd you know, bro??--He seems to be utterly dumbfounded.

--I think you're not the only one that got attacked--I state, looking him in the eye.

Scelesta

Upon entering our sacred cave to place our newfound offering, I find a truly awful picture. We now have pure blood from Kingsland in our power, but they have failed in their task of keeping our pure offering from this land. The so-called adventurer is no longer here.

Anger warms my insides, but I must cool them down or else I will be dragged into the same pitiful filth that so often drowns the rest of the truthseekers. I grab one of the failure guards' ears and lift him up until our gazes meet. I ask our leader to allow me to do as I must, and so he agrees. I hang the truthseeker who did not accomplish his mission of keeping our sacrifice safe in its place, to fill up the void its departure generated.

Once that is done, I kneel down and discuss with my equals what land we shall acquire our next offering in.

Ruby

--Bah! Who needs two princesses and a demon?--I spoke to Alien as I walked along the coast--. I'm totally cool on my own. And with you, of course. You know, I did a journey on my own once. I even rode a dragon during it!

Alien laughed as if he didn't believe me.

--I'm not joking! I even got myself a ship back then! It should be no problem to repeat the feat. As soon as I see one, I'm stealing it!

My little friend looked disappointed, just like my friends when I drew my saber against Gareth the day before.

--Don't give me that look! I'm a pirate, you should all know that already--I defended myself--. Pirates steal. And curse. And maybe they can't take it, but I don't give a can of rotten sardines about it! Yeah... They can leave me if they want! I don't care..! Not about Alex, not about Gene.., and definitely not about Twinkle and Leonora! They should find girlier friends if that's what they wanna get!

The myserio jumped off my head and ran away. I wasn't expecting Alien of all people to drop his loyalty so quickly. I went after him, not really wanting to be completely alone despite everything I had just said.

--Wait! Where are you going?!

I followed him to a pretty remote spot. I wouldn't even sworn that was part of Kingsland. And then I saw it. Gunpowder Island's simplest ship could easily be three times its size, but it was the perfect way of transport for a journey with one to two people and a mysterio. When I finally made my way through the sand, he was waiting for me behind a rock. Of course he wasn't going to abandon me!

I observed the ship to see if there was anyone. I was going to charge anyways, but knowing against how many people is always useful.

Twinkle

I was very determined to give my best at the Baron's castle! >:) Gene's been veryyy stressed the whole day, :( especially since Ruby, Alex and Alien aren't with us now! So that's why I'll prove that I can be just as strong! >:D

The castle was surprisingly quiet when we reached it! It was as black and red and as unsettling and as evil as always, but something was missing... :{

When we entered, everyone assumed we had something to do with the Baron "going missing"!! That's very bad!! Those guys weren't nice at all, so they tried to lock us down >:( We're already used to it, but fighting them off is a lot harder without Alex and Ruby! Brock isn't that helpful of an ally either... D:

Franz

The orange wizard is giving us the coldest stare I've ever gotten. Well, not technically all of us, mostly Twinkle. Gene keeps gesturing for us to do something and anxiously looking at his holo-pad, muttering something under his breath, but I can only really focus in the amount of knights pointing their weapons at us and the sheer rage they have on their faces. Brock looks at me and then frowns. I think he knows I'm scared.

--AHEM, AHEM!--He starts, out if the blue. Gene looks at him like he's about to throw hands--. How DARE you bros use your weapons against me and my bros? Why don't we all just become bros with each other and do some nice bro stuff?

I'm so glad that his speech wasn't some sort of official presentation, because that amount of repetition of the word "bro" would've absolutely made him fail. On top of that, he also seems to have made the guards even angrier.

--Why can't we end them already?!--One of them asks with impatience.

--Because there's something weird with them--. Rypan answers--. Their friend was here, now she isn't and suddenly they're here with another wizard and the annoying one.

Twinkle and me have to hold Brock back so he doesn't do anything stupid upon being called "the annoying one". Gene looks stressed as ever.

--Hey, Gene, look! I'm gonna get us out if here!--The fairy suddenly points her wand at the ceiling.

--Twinkle, don't...--He tries to warn her, but he's too slow.

She casts a spell which makes everything go a very bright shade of pink for a second, almost blinding all of us, and then generates a very dense fog. I feel Brock keeping me close so we don't accidentally split up.

--WHAT DID YOU DO?!--Gene scolds Twinkle.

--I wanted to help!--She excuses herself.

--It doesn't matter now, bros! We have to get out of here!--Brock says, immediately before taking my hand and heading out.

I really hope the other two are doing the same.

Ruby

I got bored of observing after ten minutes, so I barged in the ship. Surprisingly, it was empty.

--There's gotta be a catch. Too good to be true--I commented to myself. Alien was already jumping around the different parts of it.

I walked around too, expecting to get ambushed by some pirate, but the silence was all I could hear. And I felt heavy, so heavy...

Alien dropped to the floor. Alarmed, I checked on him. He was alright, but why would he fall asleep just like that?

That was when the smell of blood finally hit me, right as my eyelids became heavier than when Gene explains his techno-stuff to me.

Before blacking out completely, I could make out a few words.

--Damn, I didn't mean to kill this one too...--an unknown voice exclaimed.
