Chapter #5Swim on the surface! by: Unknown Overcome with horror and confusion, your primal fight or flight instincts kicked in, and they seemed to decide the best course of action was to thrash madly towards the other end of the pool, and hope you were faster than the gator. Of course, you weren’t. A reptile like her was at home in the swamp, and you, on the other hand, were hopelessly out of your element.
Meanwhile, the robot continued shining its spotlight down on you, illuminating your desperate attempts to escape from the pool. The audience watching over the video feed was laughing their asses off, watching the once overconfident hyena start panicking and freaking out at the first sign of adversity.
As you swim, you hear another rumble underwater, and soon, another huge bubble floats up from the water just a few feet away from you. For a moment, you assume she missed; but you quickly realize she was just taunting you! Trying to make it clear that she could capture you any time she wanted, and there was nothing you could do about it!
Sure enough, just as you were about to escape from the pool, you lifted your head from the water to take a breath, only to realize there wasn’t much air to breathe! Your eyes shot open, to see only the night sky through a blurry, shiny green filter. As you floated up into the air, you realize you were trapped in another fart bubble!
“Oh no, no, no, no!” You said, immediately panicking. Yelling was a bad idea, however, as you quickly used up the fresh air in the magical ‘bubble’. Soon, all you had to breath was the noxious gas of the alligator’s flatulence! You coughed, gagged and sputtered as the bubble floated up into the air, feeling the horrible stench stinging your nostrils.
Eventually, you felt the walls of the ‘bubble’ start to solidify again! Every second you spent trapped in here, the bubble became harder and harder to pop. You try scratching at the walls, but you were just too drowsy to really muster up any solid resistance. All you could do was squirm around as the bubble floated higher and higher into the night sky.
Soon, you were completely trapped inside the noxious fart bubble! Of course, that didn’t make any sense at all… but Putrina’s magic was known to be as powerful as it was confusing. You weren’t about to question the logistics of it; all you could think about was the horrible stench that was assaulting your nostrils, depriving you of any fresh, clear air!
At this point, the bubble reached its peak, and you were given a clear view of the maze from up above. It was actually rather beautiful up here, although your view was obscufated by the blurry green bubble. Of course, as it ‘solidified’, the bubble started drifting downwards, back towards the swamp.
“Oh, and it looks like Zakia is already down for the count on this one! Losing to the first challenge is DEFINITELY not a good way to start off a run! I’m not seeing much hope for this one, folks!”
You panicked a bit at the bubble sunk beneath the water, thinking you might drown or something somehow. Hell, you hardly knew what was going on. Luckily, even as you drifted down into the swamp and your entire vision was taken up by green, you could still breathe, although all you had to breathe was rank fart fumes.
You sat there, wriggling and whimpering, trapping in a magical fart bubble beneath the swamp. How the hell did you get into this mess! As if to add insult to injury, your look up to see the tall, busty crocodile lady’s huge face looming over you, a smug smirk as she admires her little ‘captive’. Yeah, yeah, she trapped you with her fart. Real funny. Laugh it up, lady. You swear, if you ever get out of here, you’d deck that alligator...
Before you knew it, she started batting the bubble around through the water! You let out a little yelp as you started getting rolled around in the stench bubble. Not only were you drowsy and disgusted, but now, you were dizzy, too! Your yelps are completely muffled by the thick swamp water as the gator bats the bubble all around, treating it like a toy…
Eventually, her playing around stops, and the bubble sinks to the bottom of the pool again. By this point, you were far too dizzy and disoriented to try and escape, or even to stay awake. Having to subsist solely on fart fumes to breathe was taxing on your health, as you can imagine. With a little sigh, you feel the last of your energy leave you, and you slowly slip into unconsciousness…
Lives Remaining: 4/5
You wake up some indeterminate amount of time later, waking with a start as if from a night terror. In fact, that’s what you wanted to imagine the day’s events as being; just a bad dream. Unfortunately, you had no such luck. You were sitting on the other edge of the pool, now, still covered in swamp water, stinking of farts and nursing a headache after what had happened to you.
You sit up… only to yelp in surprise to see the alligator leaning up out of the water! Now that you saw her in all her glory, without being obscured by the blurry water, you realized just how massive she had to be. She must be about 12 feet tall or something! “Hey, sugar. Just wanted to say, thanks for having a swim. It was fun~” With that, the gator gal disappeared beneath the water once more.
You shivered as you stood up. While that stench torture had been miserable, the humiliation on live television was even worse. With that, you continued down the hallway, noticing that your clothes are still absolutely drenched in stinky water. You travel down the empty halls, still reeling from the humiliation, until you come across another branching path... You have the following choice: 1. Continue |
