Why don't they all pretend they are related to Crymzon .. .that means the giant slug has a very big family. While its trying to feed them all they can figure out a way for him to escape. Very Happy

Excellent! Hilarious!

It's not going to be easy to kidnap little Crimmykins from Mummy. This calls for a giant hanky to distract the virus, and a way to liberate Crimmy from the chains. Hmmm, maybe just take Crimmy rock and all...lasso a passing elephantal spirit beast and have it lift and carry the rock.

ROFL!! Laughing Marvellous stuff Chinaman!

One teensy weensy typo:

Quote:
“Get of me you fat oaf!”


Well, I think that the group should decide to whether or not Crymmy is worth saving.... Razz

Nah, not really; I think that they should try and find something that could distract the Mater-Virus, possibly with someone volunuteering to pretend to be it's daughter til' they can rescue her....

I mean him... *ahem*

Or with some other ingenious distraction method that I may come up with in the near future...

But probably not. Wink

you managed to include the virus afterall

i think we use someone as a diversion - RLZ seems eager- while someone else goes in and rescues Cryms

preferably someone strong enough to get him out of the chains

Good chapter again, Chinny,

I think that the only way we're going to be able to deal with Crymmy's chains is by giving the mother-amoeba-virus something else to focus her attentions on. Presumably this poor creature has lost her real daughter, otherwise she wouldn't have to depend on Crymmy to fill her maternal needs.

Find the daugher, return her and Crymmy will no longer be of any interest to momma-virus. It'll mean leaving him in her gentle clutches for a while longer, but I'm sure we can do this. After all, we've survived this far, haven't we? (some of us better than others, but what the hell) Wink

Have RLZ do a Tarzan yell...that should attract a few elephantal spirits. Is Smee with this group? He's got superb lasso skills...he gets the IF chat crickets all the time, so something as big as an ES should be no problem at all...

Nice chapter, great one...

There are some good ideas.

Try to find her daughter seems to be the more wise but also you will need a second idea just in case you never find the daughter or even worse, you find her dead.

Maybe we don't need to cut the chains. Took him with the rock it's more faster, only if someone could with that.

Episode 6 – Escargo.

Mummy virus was happy again. She had found her long lost daughter. Okay, little Virumbla was terribly sick and off-color, but lashings of Slug Soup and a good rest would soon see her back to a healthy green. She hummed to herself as she started to grind another slug into paste in her mixing bowl, but was interupted by a sound from outside. Her little Virumbla? Better go and see!

She moved out and then stopped short. Surely not! It couldn’t be! There, not a little way away in all her green glory was her very own Virumbla!

“Oh mummy mummy! Come quick!” her lovely daughter squeaked.

In her joy Mummy didn’t stop to question why Virumbla was speaking in a stupid high pitched voice. The only thing she could think of was that her darling daughter was back. She would deal with the imposter later. For now she moved forward after her little girl who moved away.

“Wait for mummy!” she cried, and followed as quickly as she could…

>

Lordy watched as RLZ ran off into the bush, followed by the giant virus. “Okay, that leaf disguise seems to be working! Let’s rescue Crymzon and get the heaven* out of here!”

He pushed back a low branch and headed down the slope. The branch swung back and slapped Key in the face, causing him to trip and roll after Lordy.

“Aaahhh!” cried Key as he snowballed down the hill.

Lordy looked behind him and screamed a girlish scream as Key loomed large, gathering speed like an opening scene from Indiana Jones. Lordy panicked and ran forward towards Crymzon, who had just noticed him.

“Oh at last! Come on! Get this damn chain off me before…Hey where are you going? Ohmygod!”

Lordy had leapt past ,exposing Crymzon to the giant yellow avalanche that was the Mayor.

There was a loud crash followed by a small landslide and then silence.

Dean, with Tiny Stoat on his good shoulder stumbled down the hill and peered into the dust. “Hello? Are you okay?”

The air began to clear and Key and Crymzon, half buried in rocks, could be seen groaning.

“Uuuuuhh!” said Crymzon. “I think I prefered the virus!”

Lordy stuck his head out of the cave. “Come on! We don’t have much time. Let’s get Crym out of here.”

They dug frantically at the rocks, first rescuing Key, who had thrown up all over his front, but was otherwise unhurt. As they removed the final ones a crashing sound could be heard through the undergrowth.

“Hurry!” said Stoat, “I think the virus is coming back!”

They cleared the last of the rocks and Dean hauled the sniffling Crymzon to his feet, whilst Lordy and Key lifted the boulder the chain was attatched to and they all staggered up the hill.

Not a moment too soon. The mummy virus was back, and she was not happy.

“RLZ must have given her the slip.” Whispered Stoat as the others panted and puffed with the rock.

“Stupid boy” gasped Lordy, the rock was heavy, “can’t follow a straightforward plan.”

“What’s it doing now?” asked Key.

Stoat peered through the bushes. “It is walking up and down, shouting to itself. Uh oh.”

“Uh oh?” said Crymzon, his hair waving wildly. “What is uh oh? That doesn’t sound good.”

“I think she has seen us. Oops, yes. Here she comes. RUN!”

The group ran, staggering with the rock held between them, crashing through the brush like a malformed drunken giant spider.

“There you are! I see you! Oh you will be sorry oh yes! Mummy is VERY angry.” The Giant virus plunged after them.

“This way!” cried Dean.

“No this way!” shouted Lordy.

“Straight on!” yelled Stoat, and they all plunged on.

“Careful!”

“Ow! That was my foot!”

“Here! Watch it.”

Somehow managing to keep moving the group circled a patch of ground before Crymzon tripped up, causing Key to stumble and drop the rock, which landed a centimeter away from Cyrmzons’ head.

The Mummy Virus saw them, screamed the scream of an enraged Head Cold**, and plunged towards them.

There was a snap and a swooshing sound.

Key smiled and slapped Lordy on the back, propelling him into a nearby tree. “Great job, great job!”

“Someone tell the Cake stealing Mayor that it was my idea” said Tiny Stoat.

“I can squash you like a bug you know!” Key growled.

“Just try it Cako! I will bite your nose off!”

“Where’s RLZ?” asked Dean.

“Oh, I am sure he will turn up soon. Let’s get out of here.”

They wandered off, arguing about cream cakes and complaing about how heavy the rock was. Behind them an enraged virus swung under the trees. If you looked closely you could see where the rope on the head-hunter’s net had been chewed through once, then tied back together again in a hasty repair job. Still, it was holding.

For now.

*Lordy is a demon. This is swearing to him.
**A sound never before heard.


>>

“So viewers, as you can see, despite the heavy betting at Lordbrokes that Crymzon would be eaten, Team A have somehow managed to pull it off. They are even now heading for the start of their next challenge.

Now, after a short comercial break, we will be back to check on Team B. Don’t touch that dial!


>>

“What does a Slug eater look like anway?” asked Muaddib.

“Beat’s me” said Smee, who was carrying some long metal part that had been left over* when they had reassembled CyborgNinja. “What usually eats slugs anyway?” He paused a moment as a strange feeling came over him when he mentioned the word ‘slug’.

“A bird? Hedgehog? Some sort of giant aubergene?” suggested IM.

“An aubergene isn’t an animal, it’s an eggplant.” Muaddib said.

“Don’t be silly, eggs don’t grow on trees” IM poked a stick at Muaddib.

“Now now you two, play nicely” said Jnmrcs. “We must all work together to rescue Sorrow.”

“Stupid Sorrow” mutted IM, “why do I have to go to the slug eaters. I wanted to rescue Crymzon.” He sulked as the party tramped on through the trees.

Cyborgninja bleeped and steam hissed from his valves. He had a feeling some important part of his machinery was missing, but he couldn’t think what.

Behind them, on a small sedan chair carried by 4 puffing Muggableagooba pigmies, Chinaren sipped an iced drink and smiled to himself.

>>

Welcome back! This is Emerald Eyul now with Team B. As you can see they are approaching a swampy area, alive with slugs. This is called, quite appropriately, Slug Swamp.

Just behind those trees our daring adventurers are about to face their first trial. The Giant Slug-eaters of lower Muggableagooba valley!


>>

“Shhh! Over there!” said Jnmrcs.

“I can’t hear anything!” said IM, sticking his head up from behind the bush.

Smee pulled him back down. “No I heard it too. It sounded like Sorrow crying. Come on, let’s take a look.”

They inched forward through the mud. “Look what this slime is doing to my robes! I just had them ironed the other day!” complained IM.

“Well, you should have worn jumpsuits like the rest of us!” retorted Muaddib. “We are all comrades together here!”

IMs retort was cut short by Jnmrcs’s gasp. “Look! There they are! The Slug Eaters!”

“Oh dear oh dear” said Smee. “What are they?”

*This always happens.

>>>>>>

Okay you lot, I am running low in Idearium today, so I need help. What are the Giant Slug-eaters of lower Muggableagooba valley? Answers below please!

*giggles* I see tiny stoat has a healthy relationship going with the Mayor then. My favourite's got to be RLZ though. He's so CUTE! Laughing

Now - what are the giant slug eaters? They're giants, I think. Great big giants who have regular eating competitions around here, to see how many slugs they can wolf down - the temporary leader of the tribe being the one who can eat most slugs without throwing up or becoming too obese to get back to their own lands Very Happy

Of course, that's not to say that they wouldn't enjoy a change of diet. Stoat soup, for example - or stuffed Mayor... or ready-trussed Crymzon Wink

*innane grin* Heh, good chapter Chinaren! :biggrin:

As for giant-slug eaters, I think that it should be an outcast tribe of dangerously overweight Muggableagooba's that are addicted to eating GIANT slugs. All they can do is mope around while enslaved <insert person/race/thing here> go about catching, cooking and serving the giant slugs, which, let me tell you, is no easy task.

Nice chapter.

They could be a tribe (or part of the Muga... thing). I don't think that they have to be giant neither fat. They should be dangerous because someone who can hunt and eat a giant slug should be very dangerous. But also disgusting (whatever it should be spelled...) people.

Yayy! A mayoral barf. Excellent. Clapping

The giant slug-eaters are obviously very diminutive (smaller even than the tiny Stoat) and ridiculously cute and fluffy. Their wee little voices sound like the cooing of doves, and they stick together in large groups through static. They attach to their great, slimy prey as a huge fuzzy group, where they subsequently enter through every available sluggy orifice, and then devour the victim from the inside out.

Of course, slugs are favored on the menu, but that doesn’t rule out the consumption of other beasts with handy orifices.

It's a tribe of salt.


Groups of salt grains gather under a single controlling conscious, and go out with the aim of dissolving as many slugs as possible for the conscious to digest.

The conscious being a highly intelligent chocolate muffin, of course.

Maybe they don't eat slugs at all, but actually are giant slugs who eat everything else. It was merely a mistranslation on Chinaren Inc. behalf

Darn you Lordy! I was about to suggest giant man eating slugs!
Ahem.
But in lieu of that...
How about we have giant slugs that abduct Smee as one of their own?
For some bizzare reason or other.

Some good ideas here you lot! I like the giant slug idea, and mini-Muggablo...whatever one too. They are all good! Very Happy

I will wait a little while more and then put up a poll.

Was tempted by the salt tribe, but finally went with the fuzzies.

Flauna's option seems to be the popular one! I will be writing this soon, along with half a dozen others it seems. Shocked

Right, I have started the next chapter, although it only consists of some notes* so far.

What I need is some ideas on how to get past all these little critters of Faunas. Any ideas?

They are no doubt strewn around the scenery in great sticky uclumps.

*However, I do know it will involve some unpleasantness for Sorrow.
