Unexpected how, Underseen?

Anyway, thanks guys.  Just don't expect a chapter today, okay? Today is Shadow's birthday, and I don't know if her mom will even allow me to wish her a happy birthday.  And, while I have no proof to the contrary and I could be just as easily jumping to conclusions, I have reason to believe that my sister believes my mother's version of events.

CHAPTER TWELVE:
Macabre Trophies

"Let's move on," Cloak said motioning everyone forward.  When they stumbled into the flat area with sixteen or so webbed decaying bodies in clothes ten, twenty years out-of-date.  Upon the webs were visions of their deepest fears.
 
One showed signs of deep grooves on the body, and the golden web showed incredibly graphic scenes of evisceration.  The one next to that one showed scenes of the electric chair, while the one beside that showed scenes of being impaled with icicles outside on a frozen tundra.  Further along, one showed a scene of pyrophobia and a irrational fear of bombs in everyday -- and impossible items -- like an ordinary fountain pen.  The last one on this row showed a deep-seated fear of disembowelment.
 
This seriously disturbed the Realm Walker, as these scenes were not censored at all and shown in the full gratious light.  No one spoke, as the full gory images filled their mind.
 
"There . . ." Underseen said, quietly, as if unable to find his voice at first, "there's more over there."
 
The others looked on the other side of the room.  The images showed one in a neverending fall with the suspense of impact overwhelmingly present, one that was unrealistically fearing crashes, one afraid of bubbles, one afraid of spontaneous combustion, one afraid of being last and not having enough, one afraid of bright flashes, and one afraid of stakes -- this one didn't have a body but a pile of ashes.
 
"That one . . ." Gaz said, pointing to the small pile of ashes, "that must have been one of my kind."
 
"A vampire," Parker murmured.
 
It was clear that the ash must have blown away some during the intervening years, otherwise the pile would have been larger.  There was a large silence that greeted these words.  Cloak eventually broke the silence.
 
"Did you hear that?"
 
"Hear what?"
 
"The monster is still ahead." Cloak said.  "Let's leave this . . . this ghastly mausoleum.  This inhuman trophy case."

They sojourned into the tunnel, far away from the macabre scene.

Apparently no one realizes if there's a new chapter if I modify a previous post . . .  Sorry, short chapter.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN:
Going Down

The proceeded in silence for a moment, before Cloak, who was out in front, threw out his arms to stop the others from proceeding further.

"What is it?" Dino said, unable to keep the note of anticipatory horror from her voice.

"Drop-off." Cloak said, bluntly.

"Drop off for what?" Underseen asked.

Cloak narrowed his eyes at him, very much aware that Underseen couldn't see him.  Cloak pointed his index finger and a small golden scarlet orb of energy blossomed from it.  It illuminated very little.  But soon it grew the size of a beach ball, and illuminated not much, but then a coil of fire extruded from Cloak's finger inside the orb, and suddenly the entire tunnel illuminated to see that the entire tunnel suddenly decided to drop at a straight ninety-degrees downward, and it seemed to swell outward, as well.

"Oh," Underseen said.

"You could have just said what it was, you know, Cloak," Faerie sighed.

"How deep is it?" Goom asked.

"Thirty, forty feet." Cloak said.

"How'd you know that?" Gaz asked.  Then she thought about what she just said, that coupled with the dirty look that Cloak sent her, and she retracted the statement.  Cloak had obviously Earthsighted it.

"Stupid question time." Parker said, still looking rather naked without his armor.

"Must we?" Ash asked.

"Stupid question time," Parker repeated, "how're we suppose to get down?  Not all of us can fly."

"Parker, you insult me." Cloak said, his voice had a trace of a growl and snarl in it.  Cloak stomped his foot and an earthen platform shot out, just enough to support the group.  "All aboard who's going aboard."

"We're not leaving you, Cloak." Faerie said.  "Get that through your thick Realm Walker skull . . . if Realm Walkers have skulls that is."

Cloak brushed off Faerie's jovial teasing, and started to cause the platform to descend.  But he kind of wish he could make it go faster than was safely advisable.  They were forced to see another sixteen macabre trophies -- showing fears of needles, magnets, twins, a certain dysfunction, spinning, snakes, sparks, ninjas, stupidity, mummies, drills, rings, toads, dust, ships and skeletons.

They landed as the platform merged with the drops ground with a soundless feeling, the RAFians went onward, feeling unpleasantly sick.  That was certainly an unpleasant surprise -- they'd much rather fight an ugly creature.

"This Koh-It is a monster," Underseen said.  No one disagreed with him.

Thanks, Gazzy.  And, uh, glad I could help, Underseen?
 
CHAPTER FOURTEEN:
Noxious

Cloak stopped, shut his eyes momentarily as he spread his toes.  He didn't utter a word while he did this, but said when his eyes snapped open, "It's still here, onward.  Anyone with second thoughts --"
 
"Cloak!  Enough with that!  We're here, and that's final!" Faerie chatised.
 
"Fine." Cloak said roughly.  "Let's procee -- ugh!"
 
Cloak retched as he reached up to cover his nose.  Dino waved her tiny arms frantically but she couldn't cover her rather large nose, and she was very verbal about it.  But only Cloak and Dino seemed to react to whatever it was.
 
"Um . . . what's with you two?"
 
"Can't you smell it?!" Dino pratically shrieked.
 
"Smell what?"
 
"Smell that -- that -- that offensive odor that smells like the flatulence of a Skuntank, Muk, and Garbodor have intermingled!" Cloak exclaimed loudly.
 
There was a very pregnant pause that met this words.
 
"How do you know what THAT smells like?" Parker asked.
 
After a moment of hesitation, Cloak replied, "I don't want to talk about it."
 
"But --" Faerie said, devilish smirk playing around her lips.
 
"I SAID I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!!!"
 
"Okay!  Geesh!"
 
They proceeded further, with Dino asked if they really had to, and Cloak insisted that it was the best course.   Dino then called him a masochist.  Soon enough the pungent odor was enough for the others to smell it too, and they dubled over in retching.  And Parker even lost his lunch.  Ash and Underseen, however, just shapeshifted their noses away, and presumably their sense of smell.

Cloak glowered at him.  Despite all of his elemental might, he could not simply just not smell anything.  Then they came upon a depressed, roughly rectangular room, filled with a strange gas.  It was mustard-yellow and had shifting images formed from the gas itself.

Cloak managed to discern images of a boulder, a train, a tsunami wave, a star, a large hand, a helicopter, a Taydenite crystal, a Napalm Man bomb, a knight, a centaur, a tornado-level wind, flames, a blizzard, a flowering plant, a tomahawk, and a spear before he shook his head, to clear it.

"Cloak --" Gaz started.  Her eyes were watering from horrible stench.

Cloak performed an aerokinetic display similar to Hurricane Tornado -- or whatever the weapon Storm Eagle gives, which he carved a "tunnel" into the gas large enough for Dino.  He heard the skittering of old forgotten bones.  Were they human or not?  He really didn't care to know.

"Hurry!" Cloak prompted the others.  "You realize I can't do this forever, right?"

With that they travelled through the gas to the other side, and Cloak managed to Earthsight a skittering of many legs.  The Koh-It was getting closer -- or more like they were getting closer to the Koh-It, but Cloak found it difficult to judge the distance.

"That was vile," Dino said, puffing air from her nostrils, as they quickly left the stench behind.

Great chapters, Cloaky!

And, yeah, I can certainly vouch that having a good sense of smell can backfire on you.  :-X

Too true, Dino.  Too true.
 
CHAPTER FIFTEEN:
Pools of Terror

The group moved on -- and Cloak glanced back to notice that Goom seemed to be hitching a ride on Dino's nose, and she didn't seem too pleased with this arrangement.  Cloak said nothing but led this band of RAFians onward.  He could feel the rather skritchy vibrations that indicated that they were closing in on a many-legged thing.  Whether it was the Koh-It or another creature remained to be seen.  But the vibrations didn't really feel any closer, but Cloak didn't voice his frustrations to the others, as it was, even now, it was difficult for Cloak to convey his emotions instead of simply suppressing them.
 
Suddenly, Cloak stopped and shuttered.  But he could not understand why.
 
"Why did you shutter just now?" Goom asked.
 
"I don't know." Cloak said, rather repressively.  "Must be getting close, though.  Look, we're approaching another room . . ."
 
"Oh, lovely," Faerie said, drily.  "Some new fresh hell."
 
Faerie's characterization was apt, as the room seemed to be illuminated from below.  From a luminescent liquid that looked very much like --
 
"Is that what I think it is?" Underseen said.
 
"Don't . . . just don't." Gaz said, hand over her eyes.
 
"But it looks like glowing p--"
 
"Yes, yes, we know, Underseen." Parker said waspishly.
 
Looking down, the liquid seemed to be the liquid equivalent to fiendfyre.  Cloak could see numerous shapes leaping out of the liquid, which was at least a good ten, fifteen feet below them.  Images of a man freezing, hazardous waste, spontaneous combustion, mushroom clouds, bed springs, evisceration, darkness, sinister-lookin cars, tengus, vastness of space, creepy dynamos, coldness, a man being burying alive, pirates, a man being burned, magic, swords, clowns, military bazookas, everlasting frost, grenades, and a man drowning.  Quite vivid and uncensored.
 
"'Fiendwater'," Dino decided the name.
 
"Why that?" Gaz asked.
 
"It just seems right."
 
"Forget about what it's supposed to be called," Goom said, "we should be concerned on how to get across."
 
The others looked at the area the little goomba indicated.  There was a chasm spanning about twelve feet or so.  Before Cloak could react, Faerie simply just flew to the other side.  Gaz went batty and followed her.  Underseen and Ash shapeshifted into creatures with wings and followed suit.

"Nice!" Parker called out to the others sarcastically.  "Now what about the rest of us?!"

Cloak glowered at Parker.  "SPARTAN, you insult me again."

Cloak stomped his foot, and punched his fist outward, and then suddenly the chasm was ellapsed by an earth bridge wide enough for even Dino's strides and strong enough to hold up her weight.  Then they joined the others.

"Now, let's find this damn thing and get out of this not-so-funhouse of horrors," Dino said.  "Oh, and Goom?  I appreciate your friendship and respect you as a Mod, but I AM NOT A TAXI!!"

Goom hopped down.
