The Amazing Adventures of Terra

Chapter 15: The Sewers

Now they were onto something.

"FOR THE LAST TIME! I HATE GREEN BEANS!" That's what Seargant Hartman and Mario heard when they got back from the police station. Terra greeted them.

"Oh, I'm so glad you're back." Terra said, relieved.

"What happened?" Mario asked. "Half of your pantry contains green beans. How much do you love those things?" Terra asked.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of this. JEFFY!" He yelled. Aqua walked over to Hartman. "So, what did you find?"

"Well, the officer wasn't much help, but this map was." He pulled it out. "It looks like this isn't any ordinary town. This, is Derry."

"Derry?!" Terra was really surprised. "We're in Maine?"

"Well, with teleporting powers, you can travel pretty fast."

"I guess so. So where's Ven? And Master Eraqus?" Terra asked.

"Well, I didn't find any information on them, but I did find this." He pulled out the poster. "This is Georgie Denbrough. Apparently he went missing too. His brother Bill and his parents sent out a lot of these. But no one could find him."

"So you think he's with Ven and Eraqus?" Aqua guessed. Hartman nodded. "And if Pennywise has them, I may know where they are. See, everything is connected to the sewers. And that must be where Pennywise lives." He concluded.

"So they're in the sewers!" Terra said confidently. "Exactly." Hartman replied.

"So what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

So everyone said goodbye to Mario and Jeffy, and left for the sewers.

Terra got down there and instantly regretted it. "This smells awful!" He complained. "Well, suck it up, Private Terra! You'll have to get used to it if you want to find Ventus."

Meanwhile, Pennywise walked up to Georgie and Ventus with a hunger in his eyes. "Your friends are close. And soon, I will devour every one of you!" He laughed evilly. "I'll be back soon, kiddies."

"Georgie, what do we do?" Ven asked, scared. "I don't know." Georgie replied. "We wait for your friends to arrive and fight off Pennywise. Other than that, it's hopeless. I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault, Georgie."

"Yeah, it kinda is, Ven. If I hadn't dropped my boat in the sewer, none of this would have happened."

"Georgie, it's ok. You'll get back to your fam-"

"No, it's not ok! When I dropped the boat, I was scared that Billy was going to be mad at me, but now, I'm scared that I'm going to die! I'm going... To die..." Tears formed in Georgie's eyes as he began breaking down and crying. Ven walked over to Georgie and put his hand on Georgie's shoulder.

"No, Georgie. You're not going to die. I'm going to die too. If we die, we die together." Georgie looked over to see that Ven was crying as well. They hugged each other, just staying there like that, because no one else could keep them safe.

But Ven's friends were closer than they thought. As they walked down the dark, wet, sewers, Terra found something. A paper boat. He picked it up. "What's this?" Hartman looked at it and said, "Well, it says S.S Georgie, so I'm guessing that it's Georgie's. They must be close. Let's go."

Back at the lair, Pennywise opened the cage and walked in, then closed. "Your friends are here. And now, no one can stop me." He grabbed Georgie, who began screaming and yelling for help. "Georgie!" Ventus cried. He was crying, and nothing could hold him back. Pennywise held Georgie up. And Georgie stood firm.

"I'm not afraid of you." He said. "You will be." Pennywise opened his large mouth, just as Hartman and the others arrived.

"There he is, opening his mouth again. And that must be Georgie. Wait a minute, guys look!" Terra saw Ventus and Eraqus and almost yelled out loud until Hartman stopped him.

"Don't move until I say so." He walked up. "PRIVATE PENNYWISE!" He yelled. Pennywise turned around and covered Georgie's face. "You..." He muttered.

"A pleasure to see you again." Hartman said, grinning. "Wait a minute, who's that?" He asked pointing to Georgie. Pennywise, being the idiot he was, looked over at Georgie, and Hartman punched Pennywise, the way Terra punched Xehanort. In the face. Pennywise dropped Georgie and started fighting Hartman.

Aqua got Master Eraqus, and Terra rescued Ven. "Terra!" He cried. "Hey, Ven." Georgie ran over to them. "Hi. Are you Terra?" He asked. "Yes, but let's focus on surviving. Aqua, come on!"

They ran, and Pennywise almost caught them, but Hartman stopped him.

"You can't take my food away from me!" He yelled. But Hartman was quick.

"Remember, Private Pennywise, CHOW IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE BARRACKS!" He struck the clown again, but this time, the whole place shook! Pennywise was shaking too.

"No..." He muttered. "NOOOOOO!" Then he disappeared.

"Woah, did you do that?" Terra asked.

"No." Hartman replied. "Must have been a force or something. We'll figure that out later. Time to go back home!"

"What about Georgie?" Ventus asked.

"He can stay for the night, then go back to his family."

"Yeah!" Ven and Georgie cheered simultaneously.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Terra pulled out the paper boat that belonged to Georgie. "My boat!" He shouted, overjoyed.

"It was just floating on the water, so I picked it up for you." Terra told him.

"Thanks. For everything." Georgie said.

"You're welcome, Georgie."

Hartman figured that it was time to go, so he chimed in. "Now, Terra, if you'd be so kind, teleport us out of here!"

"Sir, yes, sir!" Terra replied. And they teleported out of the sewers and back home.
