A Dangerous Encounter: Chapter 20

Some Galahs Go On an Inky Mission: Chapter 6

Kaiso's POV

As I reached the city, I kept a close eye on the child. As Bendy walked beside me, I couldn't help but feel the need to get rid of him. I wonder how Alinta and Audra are doing?

Snugglebunny's (Author) POV

Kaiso... There was a lot of screaming. In general. Panicking is more of the emotion they felt. Don't ask.

"AAAAAA-"

"AAAA-"

Kaiso's POV

Maybe it's just the curse talking, but I think I need to return to...Abbadon. Ugh.

Buuuut, if I DO leave, Alinta and Audra will come after me and interrogate me. They may know about my cursed form by now.

It seems like I don't have a choice. I'll stay.

Some Galahs Go On an Inky Mission

Third Person POV

In the middle of Audra's battle, Alinta woke up. Audra looked over, launching herself into the ceiling to avoid getting any more injuries. Audra was cut and scratched at badly, bleeding a lot of blood. Panting heavily, she pulled herself together and created a tornado. Alinta raised an eyebrow, creating a huge net of red moonlight that crushed the Lost Ones in the tornado. Jumping down from her perch, Audra landed on her feet with a wince of pain. Alinta starts, "Look, Audra. I know that I -"

Audra cuts her off with a paw on the head. "DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!! It's too risky. Who's gonna help me with Kaiso gone and you fainting? I could have died without your support!" Audra scolded.

Alinta laughed. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry!" She walked through the Animation Alley entrance and beckoned Audra to follow. Soon they reached an animation room for tourism.

As Alinta looked for a way to escape, Audra listened to the recordings and peeked into the rooms. Just as Alinta found a vent, Audra shrieked in horror as she saw what was inside of the fourth room. "THERE'S A HANGED MAN!" Audra shouted, covering her mouth as the tears started forming. Alinta ran over and saw a mannequin hanging from the ceiling.

Thinking quickly, Alinta turned Audra so she wouldn't see the mannequin. Wiping the tears from Audra's eyes, Alinta knelt in front of her and whispered, "Listen to me. You're okay. That's not going to happen to you." When Audra started to hyperventilate, Alinta shook her shoulders, hissing, "Princess Audra Hurricane of the Air Kingdom, LISTEN TO ME. It's just a mannequin."

Audra shook her head, barely pulling herself back together. "You know how many hangings I've seen, Alinta. What if it happens again?"

"IT WON'T. Do you trust me?" Alinta asked. Audra nodded shakily. "Good. We're going to go through a vent and leave this damned place behind. Can you at least try to stay calm and forget about this?"

"I don't know!" Audra pulled herself away from Alinta. "Do you see that?" Audra pointed to the hung mannequin. "That's just the start! Later on, there's going to be more people just hanging from the god damn ropes, and there's NOTHING I can do about it!"

"Audra, keep a cool head -"

"No! Don't you care, Alinta? The more people who do suicide, the less likely we'll be able to help!"

Alinta's POV

Dark Alinta asked, "Do you need any -"

"NO."

"Okay!"

Third Person POV

Alinta shook Audra's shoulders. Alinta's eyes glowed an icy-blue color. "Listen to me, Audra. You're hurt. Badly. You need food. I'll find you some to start healing, but this breakdown needs to start evaporating to a much happier state. But for now, we need to keep moving."

Audra's ears perked up a bit at the thought of finding food, but it wasn't enough to make her raise her spirits. Her head was held low. "What if we can't?"

"We. Will. Now come on, let's keep moving." Alinta dragged Audra to the vent and pushed her in, following behind. Crawling through the vents, they reached another hallway. Alinta picked up a note and read it aloud. "'We're in the final days here. I can tell. People are packing things into boxes. Tools are are going missing. You can smell the panic in the air around the studio. But us Gent boys, we're just watching from the shadows. We lock the doors, and keep our research going. Mister Gray already gave us a little wink. All is well. When one ship sinks, another one leaves the dock. I need to keep my Ink Machine safe in the chaos. It's the key to so many discoveries.' Oh, cool, it even has a signature!" Alinta squinted. "I forgot who Thomas Conner even is." Audra flipped a switch, and the two headed out. Out of the tour room through the newly opened door, they ran out and through the rooms. Through one barred door was a small, cartoon version of Bendy.

"It's real?" Audra whispered, admiring it through the door. Alinta looks fondly at Audra, but catching herself and mentally berating herself for it. Alinta could already hear the chaos Audra could bring if they didn't approach Bendy correctly.

Alinta's POV

Dark Alinta ordered, "Open the door and secure the small Devil, and then let your crush near it."

I look at Audra. "That's probably a good idea. But she's not my crush!"

"Sure, sure. Keep telling yourself that."

Third Person POV

"Audra, stay here. I'm going to keep the tiny thing there. I'll signal you over when we're ready." Audra whispers. Audra gave a nod, and Alinta inhaled. "Oookaaay, let's do this."

Alinta's POV

I opened the door. Bendy quickly noticed and stood up, like a child waiting for praise. I need to be gentle with him. I walk over. "Hi, sweetie." I said. Bendy picked up his train, putting on a neutral face. As I crouched, he stepped back. "No, no, I'm friendly, and I have a friend who might want to be friends with you. Can you stay?" I beckon him over. Reluctantly, Bendy walked forward. I then turned and signaled to Audra to come here.

"Alinta, that's not just a small Devil." Dark Alinta warned.

"What do you mean?" I ask as I watched Audra approach us to a certain point.

"Bendy's the Ink Demon."

"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. I'll deal with it eventually." I cursed.

Audra's POV

I approached carefully, only stopping at the midway point. Alinta sighs and gets up, walking up until she's right next to me. She whispered, "You're free to become friends with the kid."

My mouth opened. Really? Is this just that easy to become friends with the smallest, cutest devil I've seen??? I looked at Bendy. I say fondly, "Oh my god!! It's so tinyy!" I approached him quickly, patting his head. He smiled!!! He's so cute!!!! "Oh, it's a tiny boy! How are you? You're so cute!"

Alinta starts to say, "Audra, be careful with him. We don't -"

And then I felt my claw extend.

STAB!

There was a pause in the air. Bendy's face was in shock. I was in shock. I carefully removed my ink-covered claw and looked at it. I then looked at Bendy. He's crying!! I tried to say, "Bendy, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to -" He ran away. "No, wait! Please! I'm sorry! Wait, tiny boy, please! Come back! I'm sorry!" I pleaded. Alinta wheezed in laughter, leaning against the wall. I looked at her and fumed as I saw her laughing face. "THIS IS NOT FUNNY, ALINTA!!!" I growled.

Third Person POV

"I tried to tell you." Alinta wheezed in between her laughter. Audra pouted.

"I didn't mean to stab him!" Audra whined. Alinta pulled herself back together, stifling her giggles as she saw Audra's fuming, pouting expression.

Alinta grabbed Audra's arm and walked out of the room. "Alright, let's go." Alinta said.

They walked until they found a sign. Audra read it. "'Don't...Knock'?"

"Well, fuck it. I'm knocking anyway." Alinta says as she rolls up her airtight sleeves. She approached the door and knocked on it - gently.

"Who's out there?" A male voice asked. A Lost One opened the "window" and looked around. "Is it you, Phil?" It looked at Audra and Alinta. "I said I'm not opening the door until you bring my pictures! I drew 'em, I want 'em back." It slammed the cardboard on the two girls.

Now it was Alinta's turn to get angry - again. She warmed up her arm to get ready to do something stupid. "That's it. I'm breaking down the door, whether you -"

"Alinta, no!" Audra grabs Alinta's shoulder and continues, "Think about it. If you break down the door, it'll be loud and will attract other monsters over here."

Alinta rolls down her sleeves and sighs. "Fine. We'll grab the damn pictures."

"Thank you!!"

Alinta sighs and walks with Audra out of the area. Alinta opens a metal door and crawls through a vent with Audra, reaching a room. Audra cuts the chains of a locked door with a claw.

Alinta's POV

A deep voice said, "The Dark Puddles awaits."

"The Ink Demon." Dark Alinta hissed.

"Oh, hooray. Now he's angry." I sarcastically replied.

"Now who's angry?" Audra asked. I jumped. Whoops, I must've said that out loud.

"Oh, you'll know later on." I quickly said, returning my attention back to the navigation process.

"Okay..." Audra said suspiciously.

Some Galahs Do An Inky Mission: Prologue

Kaiso’s POV

Where…Am I?

What happened? What’s wrong with my hands?

No… Not again.

Mango's Adventures in Angst-Land: Chapter 8

(Author's Note: ...Come to think of it, has Caine gotten sued by the cast members? Also, a Harry Potter reference.)

Caine was just casually throwing an Abstraction into the cellar when Mango walked in, secretly searching for Scylla, although she had been told that Scylla had been abstracted. Mango sees what had happened and stopped moving, her jaw agape in shock. "HOLY -" Kiui starts to shout.

Mango turned to Caine and shouted, "YOU HAD A CELLAR AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!!"

Caine nervously chuckled. "W-well, Ginger, let's not be hasty now -"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND YOU THREW THE ABSTRACTION INTO THE CELLAR!"

"Oh my dear lord, this world is insane." Kiui muttered.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mango snuck out of her room, being careful to be quiet. Kiui asks, "Are you really sure you can open up the cellar again?"

"This is a great plan Kiui. TRUST ME." Mango hissed.

"Sure...Ginny." Mango ignores Kiui as she snaps her fingers, opening up the cellar. "Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. I'm jealous." Kiui muttered enviously. A minute passed by before Mango smirked and Kiui devilishly said, "Jump in."

Mango proceeded to jump into the cellar.

A Dangerous Encounter: Chapter 16

Scylla couldn't remember the last time she was a mermaid. Probably at least four years ago, when she was still practicing her underwater spells. No matter, because she saw the broken shards of the Chaos Emeralds.

Scylla almost choked from swallowing the oxygen-lacking water too quickly. "God..." She managed to whisper, grabbing the colorful shards. "How am I going to fix this?" Her vision swirled as her tears began to rim her eyes. Scylla wiped away the tears and began to sort the shards into seven black bags.

She took a deep breath in after she was done, mentally preparing herself for the rest of the destroyed island.

Swimming around the island, Scylla noted the main drowning sites for the plants and animals, picking up some of the wet Soulless ashes carefully. She took note of the destroyed temple that had once served to protect both the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald.

Now, it was time to take a look at the Master Emerald.

Scylla cautiously entered the temple, bracing herself for the worst.

What she saw was not what she had in mind.

The Master Emerald was practically nonexistent, as if it had disappeared into thin air. All that was left of it was the powdery dust that was suspended in the water.

Scylla stood there, staring at the scene in shock and disbelief. There's no way Zielo would do this...right?

From the looks of it, he would.

Scylla growled, twitching before swimming off. THIS is the reason why the apocalypse needed to stop, effective immediately. Being a vessel for Chaos energy – as in all of it - won't be good. It's already shown its effects. It'll only be a matter of time before Scylla dies of this and the energy finds another, more potentially dangerous place to inhabit. SHE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN.

If it did, not only would she fail as a leader, but she'd also fail at her mission at keeping that dangerous family heirloom safe. She looked at the ring in her hand. Such a simple object, capable of causing destruction by creating a hive mind with the people affected by the assimilation...

Wait, wasn't that what Zielo was already doing? Creating his own hive mind to attack innocent people and cause destruction?

What if Scylla used his strategy against him? Destroying his hideouts would be simple, and there would be more recruits – if not members – of the Dark Gaia pack.

Scylla looked at the ring and stopped swimming. There was an answer – it was on her finger the entire time.

And she was ready to use it.

Mango's Adventures in Angst-Land: Chapter 7

(Author's Note: *Ahem* *INHAAALE* IIIIIIIIIIIT'S TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!!!)

"Whooaa!" Mango said, waving her fluffy arms in an attempt to keep herself from falling over.

"No, no! We can't have you falling, now can we?" A teeth man - Caine, Mango remembers from her excruciatingly long hours of both calming a fussy Kiui and researching - said in an upbeat voice, preventing Mango from falling face-first onto the floor.

"Mango, who's there?" Kiui asked through the headphones. Mango ignored her and instead pulled the innocent kitten card, making a curious face and folding back her ears, asking innocently and curiously, "I'm sorry, who are you?"

"Nice acting, ten outta ten." Kiui said sarcastically. Mango tuned out Caine's voice as Kiui continued, "Focus, Mangie. Don't forget, we're here to get Scylla and then get out -"

What Mango didn't notice was a pair of eyes peering at her, thinking, What is she doing here?

This place is corrupted.

IMPORTANT SUMMER ANNOUNCEMENT HERE!!!

This applies to the Amaris's Comics (tumblr) and AmarisMochizuki4 (Wattpad) as well.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY AND THE REST OF SUMMER, EVERYONE!

The Blizzard: Chapter 1

(Author's Note: This chapter mentions murder. Please be forewarned. Thank you!)

"Hey, Scylla?" Demetria called out, stumbling into the now-not-so-abandoned warehouse and swiftly slamming the door closed. "I-I kinda...uh, made a blizzard." She looked around. Sure, asking for help from the literal godlike demon and former clan leader was not exactly a good idea, but it was better than trying to disperse the -360 degree weather outside by herself.

Demetria heard the woman laugh from above as Scylla Raven landed behind the young adult. Scylla said lightly, "I thought you were with that unicorn."

"The biàn tài and his equally bèn dàn sister kicked me out!" Demetria protested, her face reddening in the humiliation the memory brought back for her.

"After the stunt you pulled? They don't have any taste in strong people like us." Scylla hummed. "It's astonishing how a tasteless family managed to acquire an empire."

Apparently by using brute force and manipulation. Demetria thought. She sighed, hanging her head a little . After all, it was her fault that she "accidentally" froze down an entire castle.

Scylla noticed the glum look in the young Froster's eyes. Wanting to be at least a little comforting, the demon sets her hand on Demetria's shoulder and said, "Hey, you just hit the not-so-normal stage; of course you couldn't control all that ice everyday all the time. I've felt - heck, I DID the same thing."

"As if that makes me feel any better." Demetria grumbled.

"I'm serious. Even I had trouble learning how to control that much power. You're doing great."

What about the blizzard? I'm CLEARLY doing a bad job. Demetria pushed that thought away, saving those thoughts for when she's alone. Heaving a sigh, she forced herself to mutter, "I guess I am great at making snowballs appear out of thin air."

Scylla raised a eyebrow at the lesser attitude, but still smiled nonetheless. "Great! Now that that's happened, how about we go deal with the snowstorm outside?" Scylla asked excitedly, clapping her hands together.

"You're planning to execute my ex, aren't you?" Demetria accurately guessed, earning herself a light pat on the head.

"Yep, can't let the brat get away with what he's doing." Scylla replied.

"Euugh, let's just get this over with - and no killing!" Demetria quickly added.

"Semi-lethal, then?" Scylla pleaded.

"No."

"You wound me."

The Blizzard: Chapter 5

(Author's Note: An animatronic is going to appear in this chapter! Also, another short chapter.)

"I'm so glad that you found my slippers so quickly." The woman said thankfully. "Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, and I'm glad that I was able to help." Demetria replied.

As the woman left, Sylvia rushed over, not caring about the water droplets dripping down her arms as she asked, "Did you really HAVE to chain me to the wall?"

Demetria snapped her head towards her aunt. "YOU WERE GOING TO MELT DOWN THOSE GLASS SLIPPERS!!!"

"Okay, fair, but YOU FROZE DOWN A CASTLE TWO MONTHS AGO!"

"NOONE STOPPED ME AT THE TIME, BUT I'M NOT RISKING THAT AGAIN!"

"She did WHAT?!" Nima gasped, making both Demetria and Sylvia flinch.

Of course Nima would be awake. Sylvia thought.

Demetria said, "It's nothing, it was an accident -"

"AN ACCIDENT? YOU COULD HAVE DIED!!" Nima burst out, wrapping her metallic hands around Demetria's wrists. "I don't really mean any harm. And if you needed magical knowledge, Nokomis and I will be here to guide you and be there beside you to destroy any enemies that come our way."

Demetria nodded as she mumbled, "Thank you..." She then turned around and ran out of the room.

The Blizzard: Chapter 7

(Author's Note: All warnings are mentioned in Chapter 6. That's all.)

"Hey, sis?" Poketiggy called. "Grandma sent us another chapter!"

"Then read it!" Charlotte called back.

"Alright..."

December 5

"Holy Soulless, this is a huge snowstorm to get through." Scylla muttered, climbing over heaps of snow and ice that used to be buildings, animals, even PEOPLE. After climbing over another body, Scylla said, "Wooow, going through this makes me feel like I'm in the apocalypse again, and that's not a good feeling."

Eventually, Scylla reached the castle, which was the heart of the storm. Literally.

Staring down the sparkling, ice-covered castle, Scylla sighed. "This generation s going to give me a headache one of these days." She muttered, using her frostbitten hands to shove the door open.

An ear turned at Dasher and Glimmer's call for staff from upstairs. Assuming that is where Demetria could be, Scylla teleported in front of the two rulers.

The pyrokinetic instinctively wrapped her arms around Demetria protectively, picking her up and leaving, but not before she heard:

"Hey! That's our -"

"Let them go."

"But -"

"We'll find them again. She'll be a powerful asset to our army."

Scylla teleported home.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"-Scylla? Hey, Scylla?" Kiui bugged.

"Yes, small one?" Scylla asked, despite knowing the answer.

"What was it like out there?" Kiui asked.

That knocked Scylla off guard. She...wasn't expecting that. Considering her options... Yeah, she might as well come clean.

"It was...devastating." Scylla starts. "It was like the apocalypse all over again." She hugs herself tightly. "To think that I saw all those frozen -"

Kiui said, "You don't have to talk about it. I was curious. That was all."

"No."  Scylla insisted. "I have to." Inhale. Exhale. "There was a lot of snow, I'll admit that. But... I smelled blood and decay as well. There was the palace; it was covered in ice as well, it was in the heart of the blizzard. The buildings and such that made up the capital city were heavily covered in snow and ice. Demetria... I'd never look at her the same way ever again."

Kiui stood there, processing as she looked at the comatose form of Demetria. From her expression, Kiui would never look at her big cousin the same way again, either.

"When do you think Demetria will wake up?" Kiui whispered.

"HOPEFULLY when Sylvia comes over, because she's going to be over for ten days." Mango said, stepping into view.

"MANGO!" Kiui shrieked. Scylla didn't have the heart to tell the Mercat to lower her voice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Demetria woke up, she was faced with Sylvia - in a lab coat. That means Dr. Sylveon is in the house. Ugh, feelings.

Demetria groaned and slowly got up, pain flashing across her body. And then a kitten with banana-yellow scales and kiwi-green eyes stared at Demetria, the cat's grey, fluffy fur on end as its tail swiftly moved back and forth nervously.

"Kiui?" Demetria croaked. "What happened?" The cat literally lunged towards the Froster, transforming back into the form of Kiui as she shouted:

"DEMETRIA! YOU'RE OKAY!! I THOUGHT WE LOST YOU!"

Demetria hugged the the sobbing girl tightly, while giving her aunt a quizzical look.

Sylvia sighed. "You froze the kingdom. Congratulations, you're a Froster now."

"And that's bad because...?" Demetria inquired.

Mango stepped into the room. "First of all, you COMPLETELY missed the part where Aunt Sylvia said that you froze the kingdom."

"I'm sorry, I DID WHAT?!"

"Second, you created a blizzard."

"WHAT?!"

"MANGO!"

"Third," Mango winked at Sylvia. "You nearly killed your friend and the crown princess."

"HOLY -"

"MANGO DRAGONFRUIT MOCHISOLAR!!" Sylvia barked.

Mango let out a fake sigh. "You never let me have my fun." She sarcastically said.

Demetria looked like she was processing everything. "Wow, I did some very bad things."

"Well, we're telling everyone we meet about how you froze an entire castle." Kiui said mischievously, sniffling quietly. Demetria groaned.

"Please don't."

"You traumatized Scylla too." Mango said.

"I WASN'T TRAUMATIZED!" Scylla shouted from the other room. "THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAUMATIZED AND TERRIFIED!"

Mango rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, well Merlina said that she's grounding you for the next month for the stunt you pulled."

"Figures." Demetria muttered. Kiui let out a throaty chuckle.

"Can I burn it this time?" Elsa the Dragon asked. Charlotte handed her the paper.

"Nothing's worth it." Sissy the Dog mumbled sadly.

"Aaaaand this is why I'm not giving you anymore stories." Creator drawled out.

"Rude." Conrad grumbled.
