Paradisal Corruption ( DISCONTINUED )

Damn Snakes

 (Geez this came out later than expected-)

Boom.

Thunder crashed down dangerously close to our location, which made S.C. and I jump. Throughout the boat ride, it had been slightly drizzling, but down it was just full on nature-is-woke-as-fuck mode now. Our little duo, if you would even call us that and not just two square boys struggling to survive, had no other choice than to make it into the now volcano.

There seemed to be something near the end of the cave, seemingly hovering.

As we approached the object, it got hot. It was a bit cold outside, and something warm and toasty would be nice. But GEEZ, it wasn't a plesant warm. I assumed it came from the actual lava that was nearby, coming from the faint sizzling that was heard occasionally.

We reached the object. I reached out my hand towards it to investigate, but then something seemed to pop out. It was a smallish white rectangle with a label.

Barracuda.

"Isn't that some sort of fish?" I said outloud. S.C. didn't seem to even hear, he was just sitting down by some far-from-comfortable stones. I looked over at him, "Hey, mister war veteran, you alright?" I tried to bring atleast a bit of light humor into him, but all he did was look up and nod nervously.

I was getting scared. 

Putting my attention back onto the object, which was a circle that was pink with a darker shade of pink inside of it, I figured I would just touch it. Why the hell not, would I get some sort of circle disease?

As soon as my hand barely grasped it, I was literally not there anymore. No more rocks, circle thing, S.C., just me and some sort of black abyss.

"So, you're the one who's been running around, huh?" A voice that sounded male and deep each owed throughout the darkness. "I'm pretty damn sure you are, because no normal shape would just appear inside of a Boss."

"What the hell are you talking about!?" I yelled out. There seemed to just be a small chuckle.

"Don't you know what you are, little 'hero?'" The voice said.

"W-what? I'm literally just some square boy, plus there hasn't been a new hero in, what, 45 years?" It wouldn't be possible for me to be something like that.

The voice laughed. "You're an idiot." It said.

And out of nowhere, a large pink triangle appeared. It had a small eye, aka a blackish circle and a smaller pink circle for a pupil, on it. Other than that, just a triangle.

That's when I realized I was floating. There was nothing under me. I was trying to adjust when music began. I looked up to see a circle of pink dots seemingly come out of the triangle thingy and snakes. Fucking snakes. The snakes distracted me too much to realize that one of the dots was about to hit me, which it did.

All I expected it to do was to hurt a but, but part of my head was just gone. 

What the hell. 

Soon moving seemed like swimming, but not using your arms, mainly just your legs. Little cyanish squares came out from the bottom of my shoes whenever I moved, which was kinda cute. I moved around The snakes, dodging their odd pattern of.. slithering in the air? I honestly don't know.

Another onslaught of killer dots came out, along with more of the sNaKes, which I had a big fear of. The music was sort of Egyptian styled with a modern take to it. The main bad-boy triangle suddenly got larger, and, on beat with the song, began to eject what seemed to be very large and sideways trapezoids. Neat.

Of course there were snakes aswell with that.

Luckily I wasn't hit during that, but then it went the other way around, make me quickly trying to move upwards. Thank god I did that. It was the same pattern as before, just upsidedown now. Also yes SnAkEs.

The triangle went off downwards out of sight. I finally had a moment to catch my breath as a damn pyramid with the same triangle with an eye on top of it slowly rose up. 

Out of nowhere, the song reached its drop. The word rang out through the blackness as the rise of the dorito completed. Barracuda

The pyramid switched over to the right, and began.

Out of its sides, each level of it began to shoot out, each one corresponding to the way of the music. As that left little space left uptop, the triangle which I had now assumed was called Barracuda even though it should be in water, created circular projectiles that got larger as it floated on by towards me. I only got hit once during that sequence, thank god.

Sometimes the circles would stop coming and snakes would slither up from the bottom. I got a better look at them, and they were blackish Cobras with a pink triangle pattern on their back.

The sides switched, and the same game went on.

Finally, the Barracuda pyramid went back down again. I thought that was finally the end of this fight, but NO. OF COURSE NOT.

Barracuda would pop out from a side of the confined black void box, shooting out the same circle projectiles as before. "By God, just die!" The voice from the start shouted out angrily. I assumed it belonged to dorito over there.

I mean, I got hit again, so does that count? I'm cheating being corrupted somehow.

He appeared in the middle, just as a very large triangle. I got to a bottom corner, expecting something bad. Snakes began to shoot out aggressively from Barracuda. They all missed me soo.. haha snakes, no biting me. 

And then the bitch exploded. Hello????

It rained triangles. I did not want to touch them, considering they were pink.

A dotted line appeared and came towards me. Now that wasn't pink for once. I went through it, and a small white and shiny triangle floated around. I floated towards it, touched it, and then everything went white.

In a few seconds, I was standing back in the cave with the same triangle in my hands.

"WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL JUST HAPPENED." I exclaimed outloud. S.C. seemed to jump at my sudden transportation back from the circle, which was no longer there. "Jesus.." He muttered.

The triangle suddenly shot out from my hands and towards the dead end. 

And then that 5 cm. shape rammed right into that wall and boom, no more wall.

The triangle suddenly flew back to me. That's when I got the idea.

I thrust it into S.C's hands. "Put it on there like a bandaid or something." I told him. He got up, and applied it on the pink spot on his head like an ice-pack. 

"Alright, now that THAT SHIT IS OVER, we can progress without the threat of you going wacko." We then began our expedition throughout the volcano, which was still painfully hot and full of mushrooms that were pink or somehow pure.
