(We last left seeing Mantus being bested in battle by, of all people, Cham Cham!  With one nit of Cham Cham’s Doomsday Driver, Mantus was driven through the floor onto the room below!  It appears that our group may have won, but Bloth wants a piece of the action!  He already bested Ioz, Tula, and Ren in battle, and now it’s Tam Tam & Cham Cham’s turn to fight.  Let’s see how good they do in this chapter.)

Bloth:  I’ll enjoy killing you both like I did to King Primus seventeen years ago.  I shall enjoy sending you all into the abyss together!

(Bloth charges at Cham Cham, but Cham Cham hits Bloth with her Blazing Boomerang technique, knocking him back a step.  Tam Tam tries hitting him with a Fire Skull, but Bloth repelled that attack with his large sword.  Tam Tam tried a Paungua Deose technique to hit Bloth, but Bloth throw a barrel at Tam Tam, stopping his technique.)

Cham Cham:  Cham Cham no like Big Ugly Yucky Pirate hurt Big Brother!

Bloth:  You want to do something about it, savage?  Feel free to do so!

(Cham Cham uses her Triple Boomerang Toss technique to distract Bloth.  Then, she nails Bloth with a sharp Fire Claw to the face. Bloth strikes wildly at Cham Cham, but Cham Cham managed to counter every attack Bloth stride for stride.  It looks like Cham Cham is too fast for Bloth.)

Bloth:  You fight fast, savage!  I commend you!

Cham Cham:  You’re welcome!  Now, Cham Cham wins and goes back home!

(Cham Cham nails a Leaping Face Rip on Bloth’s other side of his face, slicing a few hairs from Bloth’s moustache.  Angered, Bloth charges toward Cham Cham to attack her head on.  However, Tam Tam catches the opportunity to bum rush the pirate into a pile of barrels full of fish carcasses.)

Tam Tam:  That was for trying to poison me with that damn Constrictus!  >:|!

Cham Cham:  Big Brother save Cham Cham!  Cham Cham happy!  ^_^!

(The fight is not over yet, Cham Cham!  Bloth is still standing, and he’s mad pissed!  He throws several barrels toward Tam Tam & Cham Cham.  Tam Tam & Cham Cham dodges most of them and breaks the rest that comes after them.  The fight resumes.)

Cham Cham:  Big Ugly Yucky Pirate no throws stuff at Big Brother and Cham Cham!

Bloth:  Curse you to the Abyss, savage!

(Cham Cham uses a Supercharge at Bloth.  Bloth blocks the attack and wildly strikes Cham Cham.  Again, Cham Cham parries each blow and sneaks in Brain Thrust on a dead fish!)

Cham Cham:  That no good!  Big Ugly Yucky Pirate evil!  Cham Cham wins and goes back home!

(Cham Cham tries for another Supercharge and connects!  Bloth is throws to the side of his ship.  Angered even more, Bloth tries attacking Cham Cham once more.  However, before he can do that, Tam Tam hits Bloth with is “Ahoi Gaboori” technique.  Bloth’s backside is engulfed in flames.)

Bloth:  I am on fire!  Ack!  What kind of black magic is this?!

Tam Tam:  It is no black magic.  It is the power of a Mayan god!

(Cham Cham uses her Boomerang Beheader technique on Bloth, but Bloth catches the boomerang in mid-air and hurls it to the floor.  Cham Cham is worried!)

Cham Cham:  Boomerang!  O_O!

(Cham Cham reaches for her boomerang, but Bloth would not let her.  He’s quite pleased that his enemy is unarmed.)

Bloth:  Looks like you’re unarmed, savage!  Shall I finish you now, or do you surrender?

Cham Cham:  Cham Cham never surrenders!  Cham Cham fight till end of Cham Cham!

(You tell him, Cham Cham!  Although she is unarmed, she is not helpless.  Cham Cham nails Bloth with a Fire Claw attack right across his face.  Bloth retaliates by striking his giant sword toward her head.  Cham Cham ducks, and he lodges his sword into one of the beams of the Maelstrom!)

Bloth:  Noy-Jitat!  My sword is stuck! 

Cham Cham:  Big Ugly Yucky Pirate is in trouble now!

(Cham Cham recovers her boomerang and hits the evil pirate with a harsh Boomerang Gut Buster right onto Bloth’s large gut!  Bloth holds his gut after being hit.  Cham Cham charges toward Bloth, now disarmed.  Bloth tugs to his sword, so he can use it.  Before Cham Cham can make her strike, Bloth dislodged his blade and swung it toward Cham Cham.  The blade just graves Cham Cham’s stomach.  Cham Cham cries in pain and rolls toward the wall, gripping onto her now bleeding stomach!)

Cham Cham:  Owwie… Cham Cham hurt now!

Bloth:  Now it’s finally your turn to fall into the abyss, savage!

(Bloth walks toward Cham Cham, now injured.  Bloth readies her sword so that he can impale Cham Cham through her stomach and pin her to the wall.)

Bloth:  May you rot for eternity into the dark abyss!

(Tam Tam had seen enough!  Tam Tam throws a Bomb Skull at Bloth’s backside, making him lose his focus toward Cham Cham.  He turns around to see that Tam Tam is, literally, boiling mad!)

Bloth:  So you want to fight me too… savage!

Tam Tam:  I loathe the way you refer to my sister and me as “savages”!  I also didn’t like how you slashed my sister!

Bloth:  I should have skewered her like a little fish.

Tam Tam:  Why you…

(Damn, Bloth!  You really pissed Tam Tam off!  Tam Tam strikes at Bloth wildly, but Bloth catches Tam Tam’s strike.  The two clash swords again and lock together.)

Bloth:  Have you finished yet?  This battle bores me!

Tam Tam:  Not until I make you pay for slashing my sister… you monster!

Bloth:  Flattery will get you nowhere, savage!

(Tam Tam pushes Bloth away and nails another “Ahoi Gaboori” on Bloth!  This time, he dodges and the Mayan god’s fireball hit the floor instead.  Meanwhile, Cham Cham manages to stand up from being slashed on her little tummy.  However, she is bleeding a little bit.)

Cham Cham:  Cham Cham…  will make Big Ugly Yucky Pirate pay for… hurting Cham Cham!

(Tam Tam grabs Bloth by the neck and stabs him in several places around his chest, performing his “Grab N’ Stab” technique.  Still, Bloth pushes Tam Tam away.  Tam Tam decides to go for his finisher and aims his Ahoi Tiowakan finishing move at Bloth!  The huge fireball hits Bloth, but he still stands.  The finishing move was not enough to stop Bloth!)

Bloth:  You’ve thrown quite a bit at me, savage, but you have yet to beat me yet.

(Behind his back, Cham Cham charges up for her own finishing move:  The Super-Deformed transformation.  She charges up, enveloped in a bright orange aura.  Soon, the aura completely covers her, and the takes the form of a tiger!  Now’s she’s ready to deal the final blow!)

Bloth:  And now, to end this game!  See you in the abyss, savage!

(Bloth was about to impale Tam Tam with his sword, but Cham Cham comes from out of nowhere and rams into the pirate lord, knocking the yellow glass eye right out of his head and sending him almost over the deck, barely hanging over the railing for dear life!)

Bloth:  Chongo-Longo!  What happened?!

(Tam Tam & Cham Cham look toward Bloth, whose grip on the railing of the Maelstrom is slipping away.)

Bloth:  Mercy… save me!

Cham Cham:  Big Ugly Yucky Pirate call Cham Cham & Big Brother “savage” and now Big Ugly Yucky Pirate want mercy?!

Tam Tam:  I should cut you off so you can sink down below… but I won’t.

Bloth:  Then you’ll pull me up?

Tam Tam:  No.

Bloth:  What in the…

Tam Tam:  Someone else deserves this much more than we.

(Ren stands up after being hit by Bloth earlier.  He sees that Bloth is not on board, and Tam Tam & Cham Cham is by the side of the ship.  He walks over there and sees Bloth in his precarious situation.)

Ren:  Bloth… you’re finally in your place, aren’t you?

Bloth:  Please, Ren… mercy. Save me.

Ren:  You murdered my father.  You threatened the lives of my friends and myself.  You tried to kill me many times, and now… you want to give you mercy?!

(Bloth is now hanging on to the railing by one hand.)

Bloth:  Please, Ren.  Save me, please!

Ren:  Yeah, I’ll save you… for the abyss!

Bloth:  O_O!

Ren:  May Kunda have mercy onto your soul!

(With that said, Ren took his father’s full sword and cut off Bloth’s own hand!  Bloth falls downward into the water below.  Ren can breath easier, now that he finally has gotten revenge for his father, King Primus.)

Ren:  And Bloth is no more… he is no more.

(Tam Tam & Cham Cham takes to Ren’s side.  Ren is almost driven to tears… not tears of joy or sorrow… but just tears.)

Ren:  Father, I have finally avenged you.  I hope your soul can rest in peace for now on.

Tam Tam:  Looks like we win, Ren!

Cham Cham:  Blond Guy sends Big Ugly Yucky Pirate packing!

Ren:  Yeah, have, but it seems so empty now.  I have achieved what I have longed for several months… yet I feel so… empty.  *sigh*

(However, just when all seems well, Bloth emerges from the water, still alive but without his left hand and glass eye.  He’s angry as hell, for Bloth has let him fall!)

Bloth:  I ask for mercy, and this is what I get?  Is this what your father has taught you?!

Ren:  Bloth!  Noy-Jitat!

Cham Cham:  Look!  Dark water!

(Cham Cham is right!  A puddle of dark water is gathering around Bloth!  Bloth sees this and panics!  Worse yet, now that he only has one hand, swimming is even harder for him.  Bloth cannot stop himself from being caught in the deathly liquid!)

Bloth:  ACK!  THE DARK WATER!!!

(Ioz & Tula recovers and walks to the side of the ship as does Niddler!  All six of them watch Bloth be engulfed into the Dark Water, signifying that Bloth is now dead.  All is truly well for the crew for now.)

Ioz:  The Dark Water has finally consumed Bloth.

Tula:  To think that he wanted to control the deathly liquid for his own personal gains.

Ren:  Well, now Bloth and ponder his regrets in the abyss.  Everyone, let’s leave the Maelstrom.  We have to go to Andorus.

***

(About a day after exiting the Maelstrom, the Wraith, still boarded by Ren, Ioz, Tula, Niddler, Tam Tam & Cham Cham, head for Andorus, home of Tula.  As they dock by the shore, they see that the island is still bustling with life in most regions while a few are still barren.  Tula wonders this.)

Tula:  Andorus… I am home again.

(By the deck, Teron, sage of Andorus, arrives to greet them.  He is quite thrilled that 11 of the 13 Treasures of Rule have been discovered.)

Teron:  Welcome back to Andorus.

Ren:  Welcome, Teron.  Teron, I need your advice on something.

Teron:  Of course, my son.  What is it?

Ren:  Two friends of ours arrived in our world through the dark water.  They are not of dark water origin.  They want to return to their world.  Do you know by any chance how it is possible?

Teron:  Your friends… came here through the dark water?

(Tam Tam & Cham Cham gets off the ship to greet Teron.)

Cham Cham:  Hello!

Teron:  Are these the ones you were telling me about?

Ren:  Yes… this is Cham Cham.  Right beside her is her older brother, Tam Tam.

Teron:  I see… it is very rare that the dark water can consume a person and that person survives.  I say that if they came her through the dark water, they can return to their world through the dark water.

Tam Tam:  That sounds easy.

Teron:  It may not be as easy as you think, my friend.  If you swallow the dark water, you become part of it.  You will need miramphecytes.  They are part-leviathan, and with them, you can give into the dark water without any risk of swallowing it.

Ren:  Where can we find miramphecytes, Teron?

Teron:  You’ll find them off the shores of this island, but they became rare and scare since the dark water threat began.  You’ll know when you find them when you find the amphecytes colored blue.

Ren:  Thank you, my friend.

(And that’s what they did.  They scoured the waters surrounding Andorus for any signs of miramphecytes.  At least three house pass and there is no sign of them… until Ren discovers two of them about twenty feet away from the shore!)

Ren:  I found them!

(Ren holds two miramphecytes over his heads in each hand! Tam Tam & Cham Cham is quite happy, now that they have a chance to return home.  Ren swims back home, still with the miramphecytes.)

Ren:  Now that we found these things, all we need now is some dark water.

Cham Cham:  Then Cham Cham & Big Brother return home!  YAO!  YAO!  YAO!

(Just as Ren said that sentence some dark water begin to develop nearby!  Everyone get scared as hell!)

Ren:  The dark water arrived!

Tula:  Cham Cham… Tam Tam… here’s your chance to return!

Tam Tam:  I thank you all for this trip guys.  I enjoyed it.

Ioz:  Does this mean I get the gold you won back in the game house?

Ren:  IOZ?!?!?

Tam Tam:  Yeah, yeah… of course you can have that gold.

Ioz:  ^_^!

(Tam Tam & Cham Cham slips the miramphecytes over their heads.  They are ready to return back home.)

Tam Tam:  Good-bye everyone.  Thanks for everything!

Cham Cham:  Later guys!

(Ren, Ioz, Tula, Niddler, and Teron waved good-bye to Tam Tam & Cham Cham as they enter the dark water.  Then, they are no longer in Mer.  You can see that Ren & Tula have tears in their eyes.)

Niddler:  Now I can get her minga melons!

Ren, Tula, Ioz:  NIDDLER?!??!?

Niddler:  *SQUAWK*

Ren:  I will surely miss those two.  *sigh*  Well, we still have to find the last two treasures.  Shall we be off?

(Meanwhile, in the dark water, Tam Tam & Cham Cham swims endlessly through the deathly liquid with the miramphecytes for protection.  About twenty minutes later, they emerge in the dark water lake at the Anime City Park!  They’re finally home!)

Cham Cham:  Home again!  Cham Cham so happy!

(The two climb out and enter their home world again.  Tam Tam wastes no time and moves a HUGE boulder right into the pool of dark water, blocking it completely.)

Cham Cham:  Why Big Brother do that?

Tam Tam:  That way, no one else has to go through what we went through.

(Tam Tam & Cham Cham peels the miramphecytes off of their heads and throws them both into the nearest freshwater lake.)

Tam Tam:  Cham Cham… let’s go home.  I’ll buy you some bananas!

Cham Cham:  Okay!  Cham Cham very happy!  Cham Cham miss Blond Boy, Pink Woman, Ape Bird and Game Playing Man.

Tam Tam:  I’ll miss them too.

(And so, Tam Tam & Cham Cham leaves the Anime City Park, toward the nearest fruit stand that does sell fruit.  After eating, Tam Tam & Cham leave toward the UCTF Complex to be ready for their fights ahead.)
