"HeckDragonX! Can you give me a hand in here?" asked
Neiks3.
"Coming! Can you continue from where I left
off, BurnDragonX?"
"Okay!" said BurnDragonX.
HeckDragonX fainted.
"I am going to take this Shoyru with me. Meet
me in Sector 5," said Dr. Livingston.
"Let him go!" I said as I bolted toward the
scientist. I had stopped in my tracks still pulling forward, but moving backwards.
Experiment was pulling at my tail.
"Hurry and escape!" said Experiment as Dr. Livingston
disappeared around a corner dragging HeckDragonX with him. Just then, I gathered
the strength to break free. I started running forward, while Experiment dragged
along the floor until he let go. I raced down the hall, but there was no sign
of Dr. Livingston. I turned around to see Experiment with his evil grin. "You
have failed to save one of your friends yet again, Mutt. I will be back to torture
you some more later," said Experiment. He started to run down the dark hallway
of Sector 3. In fury, I rammed him in the side after catching up to him.
"Not again!" I said. "You shall pay for what
you have done to me in the past. This ends now!"
"You will never catch me!" replied Experiment
as he ran into a room beside him. The room was pitch black. I moved my paws
along the wall.
"What's this? It feels like a switch," I thought.
I pushed it up. All of a sudden, the room lit up. Not only that, but the hallway
had also lit up. The room in which I stood was the power room of Sector 3. I
wandered the room in search of Experiment. Suddenly, the mutant Lupe pounced
me from behind. I pushed him away and rammed him into a generator. "I wonder
what would happen if I used a water attack on the generator," I said.
"You wouldn't!" said Experiment. I used Quench
and Experiment was electrocuted. It was too late by the time I noticed a bunch
of oil tanks next to the machine.
"I think Murphy's Law is going to kick in right
about now," I said. I ran for the door in panic and exited the room. I took
one last glance as Experiment said his final word.
"Muuuuuuuttt," groaned Experiment. Everything
seemed to turn black as I was thrown against the wall by the blast. I had awoken
to a dark hallway that was partly destroyed. Since the generator had blown up
with all the other power switches, the hallway had become dark again. As I was
thinking, I walked into something. It was the elevator. I took the elevator
to Sector 4. So long, Sector 3!
"Will I ever get off this space station?" I
thought. The elevator door opened. Since I was a mutant, I was able to get through
security. I walked into a room that said Sector 0. The room was circular with
a bar in the middle. The sign read "Grundo's Cafe".
"Can I get you anything?" asked the bartender.
"No. Just browsing," I said.
"You look new around here. I think I can sell
you a drink at discount price," said the bartender.
"That is very nice of you, but I don't have
any money," I said.
"Boss! The Pant Devil has struck again!" said
mutant Grarrl 1.
"Where is he heading for?" asked the bartender.
"Sector 4!" replied mutant Grarrl 1.
"Tell security to search the area for that devil,"
said the bartender.
"Wait. I will look for him," I said.
"Are you sure?" asked the bartender.
"I have a good sense of smell," I replied.
"Fine. Remember that little devil is tricky,"
said the bartender.
"I am coming with you!" said mutant Grarrl 1.
The mutant took out a gun.
"What is that?" I asked.
"Tranquilizing darts," replied mutant Grarrl
1.
"We will be on our way," I said. I ran back
to Sector 4, while the mutant Grarrl followed. I started sniffing the floor.
"What is your name?" I asked.
"Kanoargith, but my friends call me Kano," said
the mutant Grarrl 1. "Did you get anything yet?"
"Yes. He went this way!" I said. Once again,
we started running down the hall. The scent had stopped at a door.
"This is the main power room of Sector 4," said
Kano. We entered the power room. I started sniffing, again and looked up.
"He went in the air vent!" I said.
"Put this on so I know where your going. It
is a tracking device," explained Kano.
"Thanks," I said. I entered the air vent. I
could barely pick up his scent, because of the dust.
Later that day, I had a chat with the bartender
at Grundo's Cafe.
"Thanks for catching that Pant Devil for us!
He was a real pest," said the bartender. "How did you catch him?"
"When I came out of the air vent, the Pant Devil
was hiding behind a crate in a room full of weapons," I said. "As soon as he
noticed me he ran for the door. I implanted the tracking device on the Pant
Devil when I tackled him to the ground. He ran out through the hallway. From
there, I had lost him."
"The tracking device was on an elevator that
was taken to Sector 5," said Kano. "I followed it to the janitorial storage
room. To my surprise, I opened the door to find the Pant Devil sitting there
and laughing. When he was about to make a run for it, I injected a dart into
his body with my gun."
"Pretty clever of you to put the tracking device
on him," said the bartender. "What is your name?"
"BurnDragonX," I answered.
"Well, BurnDragonX, you can sleep here for the
night hours," said the bartender.
The space station is quiet. Everyone is sleeping.
The sound of an explosion comes from Sector 0.
I had awoken to find that all of Sector 0 was
on fire. I started to search the burning building for the bartender and the
mutant Grarrl.
"There you are!" I said. Kano was stuck underneath
a bunch of pieces of the bar. His tail was sticking out of the pile. I uncovered
him. "Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yes, but my leg is broken," said Kano. Without
warning, a shelf filled with bottles of liquor, that was covered in flames,
fell over on top of him.
The bartender and I were standing in the hallway
of Sector 4.
"Good thing I found you!" I said.
"I would like to thank you for digging me out
of the rubble," said the bartender. "Wait. Where is...?"
"He didn't make it," I said. "I am going to
have to leave, now."
The bartender walked slowly down the hallway
staring at the floor and not saying a word until he disappeared around a corner.
I continued HeckDragonX's quest.
"I must go to Sector 5 to rescue him," I thought.
I headed for the elevator that the Pant Devil had taken earlier. The elevator
moved upward and the door opened. Guards laid upon the floor throughout the
hallway. I kept following the trail of bodies until I reached a room. A lot
of sounds were coming from inside the room. I opened the door to find the Space
Faerie beating up guards. I watched until there was only a mutant Shoyru, the
Space Faerie, and Commander Garoo left standing. The room was another dungeon.
"Surrender yourself or face the consequences,
Garoo!" said the Space Faerie.
"I will never surrender to you! Get her!" said
Garoo. The mutant Shoyru pinned her to the floor. The Space Faerie punched him,
but it didn't seem to phase him. The Space Faerie did a low kick. The Shoyru
jumped over it and made a head shot with it's foot. The Space Faerie got back
up and started to shoot the Shoyru. The mutant dodged her fires as he charged
her. As soon as the Shoyru got in front of the Space Faerie, he rammed her with
his head and the Space Faerie fainted. The mutant Shoyru glanced at me as Garoo
put her in one of cells and locked it. I sneaked away unnoticed. I kept searching
for HeckDragonX until I entered a room that looked like the research center
of Virtupets. I sat at one of the computers. It was voice activated for obvious
reasons. There was a file on the screen, but all it said was "Frank...Sector...6...Dungeon."
"Show me the location of Dr. Sloth," I commanded.
"Access denied!" said the computer.
"Show me the locations of the power rooms,"
I commanded.
"Access denied!" said the computer.
"Show me the location of Dr. Livingston," I
commanded.
"Access denied!" said the computer.
"Show me something!" I demanded.
"Access approved. Restroom locations found,"
said the computer. I used Lava Spit on the computer.
"Useless computer!" I said.
"I don't think Sloth would like you destroying
his equipment," said a voice.
"Who's there?" I asked. All of a sudden, a Shoyru
appeared out of nowhere.
To be continued...
