(We
last leave our group thrown into the Constrictus' den, thanks to Bloth.
Niddler is all caged up. Worse
yet, the Constrictus has not eaten in days.
All of this adds to more and more trouble.)
Tam
Tam: This looks rather unpleasant.
What the hell is this place?
Cham
Cham: This scary wet place.
Cham Cham wants out.
(Just
then, you can sense a rumbling in the shallow waters. The waters begin to ripple.
Everyone inside there knows that whatever's coming out, it's going to be
HUGE!)
Ren:
Chongo-Longo... it's coming!
(Yes,
it sure is. From the shallow waters
come a gigantic monster with long tentacles, slender, scaly, maroon body with a
poison stinger at the end of its tail, large toothy mouth with its tongue
sticking outward with a mouth at the end, and writhing tentacles that splash
water everywhere. Yes, my friend,
they have seen the Constrictus, and it is butt-ass-ugly! X_X)
Cham
Cham: EEK! Monster! Run
away! Run away!
(Cham
Cham hides behind Tam Tam, thinking that he'd protect her.
Everyone else has their weapons ready, trying to find a way to escape
without being eaten by the Constrictus.)
Tam
Tam: This is the Constrictus?
Ren:
Whatever you do, do not get stung by it's tail!
It's poisonous!
(That's
all Tam Tam needed to hear. He
jumps over the Constrictus' back, avoiding its tentacles and slashing them off
at times. Then, he'd take his large
scimitar and slice that damn Constrictus' tail off with his large scimitar!)
Tam
Tam: Looks like you'd be poisoning
nothing, monster!
(What
he didn't know was that the Constrictus can grow back its tentacles... and it's
poisoned tail!)
Tam
Tam: WHAT THE HELL?!
(The
constrictus knocks Tam Tam right off his back nearby the others.
Looks like their escape may not be as easy as they previously imagined.)
Tam
Tam: This calls for some heavy
work! AHOI GABOORI!!!
(Tam
Tam jumps into the air, takes a deep breath, and exhales a big ass ball of Mayan
god's flame at the Constrictus. The
giant monster screams in pain, though it has been trying to put itself out by
rolling in the shallow waters. The
group uses this time to run away to other, darker regions of the den, trying to
find a way out of the Constrictus' den.)
Tula:
Do you think it's following us?
Ioz:
I hope not. That beast
should rot away in a hellhole like this.
Cham
Cham: Oh no! Look! Monster
coming for us!
(Cham
Cham is right! From a corridor, you
can plainly see the constrictus, slightly well done by Tam Tam's "Ahoi
Gaboori" technique, coming towards the group like they're big pieces of
meat. Things do not look good for
the group right now.)
Ren:
How many lives does the jitatan constrictus have, and how can these
things be killed off?
(I
don't know Ren, you tell me! Inside
ever corridor they pass through, the Constrictus is sure to follow.
Along their trek through the den, they pass by a room where there is a
cage-like apparatus, looking like a dead animal's rib cage, suspended in the air
by an old rope. Seconds later, the
constrictus comes from that deep crevice under the cage.)
Cham
Cham: Cage in air.
Monster coming under cage. Cham
Cham has idea!
(Cham
Cham runs to the scaly walls and try to scale them up, trying not to slip.
The others are quite worried for Cham Cham… especially her brother.)
Tam
Tam: Cham Cham, what are you
doing?!
(You’ll
see. Cham Cham climbs to about 20
feet and drops onto the cage. The
cage starts to give, now holding its own weight and Cham Cham’s combined.
Now, Cham Cham starts to nibble at the rope, breaking it.
The cage falls quickly onto the constrictus, trapping it under the cage
and the bottom. However, its
poisoned tail was still free.)
Cham
Cham: Cham Cham trap monster!
Cham Cham does well! YAO!
YAO! YAO!
Tam
Tam: Oh no! It’s going to sting her!
(Tam
Tam runs toward the caged Constrictus and climbs up the cage.
During this time, the constrictus arches its tail in position for a
sting. Just as it was about to
sting Cham Cham with its poisonous tail, Tam Tam shoves her off, only to be
stung by the Constrictus himself!)
Tam
Tam: ACK! SHIT!
(Tam
Tam falls. On his backside, you can
see a pink marking swelling up. That
is where the Constrictus has stung him. While
the Constrictus is caged, the group runs away from the monster, away from harms
way.)
***
(The
group is now far away from any Constrictus.
Ren, Ioz & Tula brush off their faces after falling on their faces
during the attack. Cham Cham feels
happy that she managed to stop the Constrictus. Unfortunately for Tam Tam, he’s not feeling too well.
The constrictus’ poison is taking effect!)
Tam
Tam: ~_~… I’m not feeling too
good. Has it suddenly gotten hot in
here?
Cham
Cham: Big Brother?
What wrong?
Tam
Tam: Damn, it’s hot as hell in
here. I need to cool off!
Ren:
Scapongo, he’s been poisoned!
Cham
Cham: Big Brother poisoned by
Monster?
Ren:
the Constrictus stung Tam Tam, like I was some time ago.
If that poison isn’t purged soon, he could die.
Cham
Cham: Cham Cham no wants Big
Brother to die! :(…
(Ren
& Ioz are carrying a poisoned Tam Tam throughout the den of the Constrictus,
hoping to get him out of there before he keels over.
Just then, they find a small batch of vagabonds inside the den.)
Vagabond:
Damn the Constrictus. They
should all die!
Vagabond2:
You’re telling me. I’ve been in this den for at least 20 years.
*gasp* who’s there?!
(The
vagabonds notice the group. They
recognize one of them as Prince Ren of Octopon. They have met him in the past.)
Vagabond:
Look! Ren is back!
(The
vagabonds run to the group, welcoming him back their small society.
They also notice their new friends, Cham Cham & Tam Tam, who is
suffering from the constrictus’ poison.)
Vagabond:
Ren, how is the quest coming along?
Did you find any more treasures?
Ren:
My crew recovered eleven treasures.
We only have two more to find.
Vagabond:
And who are your friends?
Ren:
They’re from another world… Tam Tam and Cham Cham.
Do you have any dreens?
Vagabond:
Just a few, why?
Ren:
the Constrictus stung Tam Tam, the one with the mask, on his back.
He’s in bad shape right now.
Tam
Tam: ~_~… Tanjil Stone…
where’s the Tanjil Stone…
Vagabond:
Someone… get me a dreen! We
got someone stung by a constrictus over here!
(Quickly,
one vagabond brings a small, puffy, pink creature in a small cage… the one
they call a dreen. The vagabond
places the dreen onto Tam Tam’s back where the wound is.
The dreen purges the poison in Tam Tam out of him and into itself,
turning purple. Now, Tam Tam is
recovering.)
Tam
Tam: X_X……………
Vagabond:
He should be okay in a few moments.
He needs to rest.
Ren:
*sigh* Thank Kunda...
Cham
Cham: Big Brother okay... Cham Cham
was worried.
(Tam
Tam rests on the floor, recovering from the constrictus' poison.
While he's unconscious, he starts to dream.)
Tam
Tam... Tam Tam...
(Tam
Tam opens his yes... he's still dreaming, BTW, and notices that his father, Sam
Sam is standing before him.)
Tam
Tam: Father? What is it?
Sam
Sam: Tam Tam, why do you still don
the mask?
Tam
Tam: I wear it to battle.
I am a warrior.
Sam Sam: That mask is merely a stepping-stone for the beginner warrior. You have proven to me and to everyone that you are a worthy warrior. You can remove the mask. You no longer need it anymore.
(In
his dream, Tam Tam removes the mask. His
true face is now shown... even if this is just a dream.)
Sam
Sam: You are a great warrior.
You have made me proud. Not
just me, but you've made your sister proud.
You are indeed worthy of Green Hell.
Tam
Tam: Thank you, father.
Sam
Sam: Continue to protect your
sister. She looks up to you.
She needs you.
Tam
Tam: I will always look for her.
Sam
Sam: Though you no longer wear the
mask, you no longer fight like the demon. You
now fight like the warrior of Green Hell. Make us proud, my son...
(Tam
Tam awakens from his dream to see his friends and sister looking after him.
He sits up, wondering what has happened?)
Tam
Tam: Hey, what happened?
I felt like I was knocked out or something.
Cham
Cham: Big Brother okay!
^_^!
(Cham
Cham hugs her brother and cries, afraid that she might have lost her.
Everyo
Tam
Tam: Thanks for looking after me.
Now as for this mask...
(Tam
Tam takes off his mask and throws it to the wall, breaking it into
millions of pieces.)
Tam
Tam: I no longer need it anymore.
Ioz:
So that is what you really look like under that mask, eh... I wonder why
you would wear it for so long...
Tula:
Well, now that everyone's okay, let's get out of here and back onto our
ship.
Ren:
Not so fast... I still have a score to settle with Bloth.
He killed my father, and now I will have my revenge in his blood on my
half-sword.
Vagabond:
Not so fast, young prince. Your
sword is not complete.
Ren:
Not complete? You mean my father's sword is not whole?
Vagabond:
The other half of your sword was given to Avagon before Bloth captured
her. She would've given you, but
the dark water claimed her before she could tell. you.
(The
vagabond takes out a small package, wrapped in cloth. He gives it to Ren.)
Vagabond:
I'm sure Avagon... as well as your father, would want you to have this.
(Ren
unwraps the package and finds the other half of the half-sword!
He places the blade onto the place where the half-sword ends, and the
pieces fuse together into one solid blade.
Primus' sword, given to Ren, is finally complete.)
Vagabond:
Use it well, my prince. And
remember... Always the quest.
Ren:
Always the quest. Everyone, let's go!
(Now
that Ren's father's sword is whole again, Ren, Ioz, Tula, Tam Tam & Cham
Cham leaves the corner to find an exit to the den of the Constrictus.
Good luck, guys... you're going to need it.)
(Back
on the Maelstrom's deck, Konk finally escaped the constrictus's den, upsetting
quite a few pirates to thought Konk would die.
Looks like Mantus win again!)
Konk:
Finally... Konk free again! ^_^!
Pirates:
>:|!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mantus:
Looks like I win again! Damn,
I'm good.
Pirate:
Ho come you knew Konk was going to escape alive?
Mantus:
The little piglet is too fast for the constrictus.
Besides, history has proven that. He's
been thrown into the den over a hundred times, and he escaped every time...
except for that time when the constrictus ate his leg.
(Just
then, some ruckus brews at a part of the ship.
Turns out that after some trial and error, Ren, Tula, Ioz, Tam Tam &
Cham Cham have escaped the Constrictus' den again and lived to tell.
That means more money for Mantus!)
Mantus:
What is going on?
Pirate:
It's Ren's crew! He has escaped the constrictus's den!
(The
group starts beating the ugly out of every renegade pirate that is foolhardy
enough to fight them. Mantus looks
at this and does not find it amusing.)
Mantus:
Blast his soul... I thought the constrictus would have his way.
Looks like I'll have to take care of things.
*unsheathes his sword*
(Just
as they've finally fought most of the pirates that attacked them in about half
an hour, the group finally meets Bloth's most skilled swordsman, Mantus.
He's angry, and he wants a piece of his ass right now!)
Mantus:
Welcome back, young prince.
Ren:
Where is Bloth?
Mantus:
Now, now... if you want to fight Bloth, you'll have to pass by me first.
Cham
Cham: Who is Walking Skeleton?
Ioz:
That's Mantus, Bloth's most skilled swordsman and, from what I heard
about him, unofficial bookie of this ship.
Mantus:
So... do you wish to fight me, prince, or I just kill you and be done
with it?
Cham
Cham: Leave blond boy alone!
(Cham
Cham stands in front of Ren. Ren
does not want Cham Cham to interfere, but Mantus finds this a total joke.)
Mantus:
How about this...the prince is hiding behind a jungle savage girl!
LOL!
Cham
Cham: Cham Cham no savage!
Ren:
Cham Cham... don't! He's
mine!
(Cham
Cham uses her supercharge technique on Mantus, knocking him back.
He's quite surprised to see the "jungle savage" isn't a weak as
she appears to be.)
Mantus:
So... the jungle savage has spunk. Alright,
if it humors you little girl, you can fight me first.
Be warned, I won't hold back!
Cham
Cham: Cham Cham no like mean name!
Cham Cham beat Walking Skeleton!
(Ren
tries to pull away Cham Cham, for she wants to fight Mantus.)
Ren:
Cham Cham, why get involved. This
is my fight.
Cham
Cham: When Cham Cham and Big
Brother got in world by dark water, it become fight of Cham Cham and Big Brother
as well. No worry, Blond Guy.
Cham Cham fight Walking Skeleton and win.
Mantus:
You heard her prince. Leave
here be. I'll finish off the daba savage easily!
Cham Cham: Walking Skeleton goes bye-bye now! >:|!
