The battle continued in a series of corridors alternating in colors. The secret moonbase it was taking place on might have been camouflaged on the surface but underneath was much more. A labyrinth filled with uniform tiles that all blended into each other filled with strange machinations suddenly coming alive.
The area had only grown bigger as they had reached further underground. Mountains of moon dust fell like snow. The ceiling shook that housed hundreds of pipes like the one Edward had just snapped himself out of. He flopped out of the way as more fell bouncing around, then dodged a laser-beam by rolling to cover.
In the far background the moving rocks below fell over a hundred feet, while the walls were growing in the other direction. The formerly hyper reflective walls had been charred removing previously glowing glyph, gold, and reflective materials. Mule had caused several piles of debris to be nothing but a gravel pit of ashes. He cast some kind of web onto an elemental that grew a quick acting dark moss. The stones struggled to fight back while Mule used his full concentration to wring the power out of them.
Edward snapped like an alligator exposing an open mouth showcasing a freshly mutated in crystals. His breath smelled of rotten bait and his body rank like he still had a long bottom. Now he was but a mutated skull detached from the neck down due to his mother’s chainsaw. He growled like a hydraulic press about to crush something but glitched. “Bzzzmeowza before your alpha male,” he screamed.
“Haha,” laughed an alpaca standing in his place that raised an eyebrow in amusement, and spit. “I can recognize a tool to utilize for my ulterior motives when I see one, and so do these Elementals,” a deep voice said.
There was no echo until an explosion rang Edwards bell again. Whatever being it had had empty eyes, an emotionless voice of nothingness, and a pale expressionless face that never seemed to move its mouth. What previously looked to be brand new threads that materialized out of nothing now seemed fraying with a magical energy felt almost warming. There was a creepy vibe that was incredibly alluring to things that could smell it, and Edward had been drawn into orbit like it was catnip. Wait a second it was really catnip..
Edward burst into a laughing fit fueled by madness. A messed up head rolling around the destroyed tunnel hissing. His white beard was caused by the excessive frothing around his face that looked like shaving cream. It mixed with his exposed spinal cord until he shook it off, thrashing like a wet dog with a series of spasms while hissing like a feline.
““Recognize my power level!” raged the synthetically babbled the talking head cut off from his organs. “Stay back or get attacked buzzzza!" Edward’s voice box was cut out as shocks of electricity shot out his remaining sockets.
He winced, smelled like frying takeout, and hurt really bad. Mule was silently approaching inch by inch the entire time. A sweep ahead performed by an edge tipped cane held by the one handed sailor dressed to kill. He was close enough their tendrils could touch whatever little was remaining of a severely broken man. He raised his shadowy cloak enough to reveal more than the dark filler offered by the outfit. Edward was momentarily mesmerized by a tip of the hat, and flash of queer charms. Mule turned, letting the brim of the hat cover everything except the jaw.
“Your mine now,” Mule teased, exposing a smile so bright it acted as a flash bang.
“FLASH!”
The feral instincts of Edward kicked into gear while he was blind. He struck back in an effort to strike first before being hurt. His [rockstar tongue] with previously unlocked 27% extension shot out on the offensive lashing all around the battlefield. He opened his stunned eyes to see his body part lashing through the mist empty handed. Mule vanished into smoke and instead he had licked onto an Elemental rumbling into the picture.
“Alghhhh shlichhht.”
He was suddenly being simultaneously electrocuted, roasted, air fried, and dehydrated. As long as he remained connected on the line to the creature it would keep doing damage. A three block triangle floating around and buzzing occasionally while perpetually humming forward. Meanwhile the crystalized tongue felt like it had become a magnet connecting to the three connected stones slowly killing him.
“Do you feel pain?” Whispered Mule’s voice from nowhere.
“Grrrr no way nothing I can’t handle as a seasoned sadomasochist zap aaaaaaaaaa,” huffed Edward, getting shocked and shooting sparks.
It was getting close to electric chair levels of high voltage. His evil eyes were beginning to gaze into oblivion and his flesh began to smoke. “Show yourself rat AAAAAAAAAAA!”
All around them more and more elemental blocks snapping into place. Some unlocked from the walls leaving square holes in their place while others fell out other dimensions making it six he was connected in one shape. More shuffled into the growing like a game of dominoes.
The Elementals continued forward at the same slow and steady advancing pace, but rapidly charged up their defensive capabilities to eliminate. There were more of them joining the battle every second in the area forming octagons and other trapezoids. An air pocket formed around the tip of Edwards tongue and followed it down to his base.
“AAHZaAaAP!” He sparkled looking like he was composed of glitter, and even spit out some. “Ughh the sicker I get and the further I slip nzzaza, and The less in focus other things become, the more demons spawns,” he screamed robotically.
His mechanical voice box had become waterlogged during his trips through the flooded vent. It was only made the sound higher pitched.
“ZAP.”
Edward launched another blind barbed tongue attack in response to the pain. Mule performed perfect timing transforming into a beast and dodged the attack in the process. He shifted into a higher gear to a charging ram that pinned its attacker's body part to the wall then broke off both horns leaving them pinning the talking head in place. Edward’s connection with the powerful energy of the elements had been finally severed leaving him dazed and soot covered.
Mule’s hooves again bent into pretzels while the air misted and shrieked with changing molecules. A puff of smoke changed into a woman dressed in a pink floral dress. Edward found immediate gas in the tank thinking he had a much better chance because he’s a misogynist.
He rolled forward ready for action. Suddenly the painted flowers turned viscous and started flying out. He was smacked in the face enough to have stars circling. Suddenly a boxer with magic gloves morphed into place ready to rumble.
“Wack, smack, punch!”
Edward was punted into a wall leaving a crater. Mule turned distracting as the Elementals attacked in coordination with each block. The boxing gloves punched holes in them like butter. The individual elements were rapidly disposed of causing chain reactions of chaos. The battle exploded like mortars put in the tube the wrong direction.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
“GRRRRR,” said Edward, rolling himself forward quickling gaining momentum.
“WHAM!”
Mule was caught and knocked over like a bowling pin. The previously disassembled Elementals began re-fuzing their cracks in bodies looking like shattered vases sloppily repaired. They formed four smaller square walls inside the rectangular tunnels and continued closing in. Edward smacked into them like a bowling ball knocking several connections apart with his numbskull. He bounced off one, then gained speed on hitting the opposite wall. By the third hit he wasn’t touching the ground anymore and getting faster and faster.
“Bang!” He blew a gaping hole in the wall.
“Your head has been further thickened %50. Congratulations on meeting hidden conditions #43!. Protip if you survive eleven explosions to unlock a reduction of %1000 explosion/flame retardant,” a robot voice boomed out from somewhere deep inside.
It echoed bouncing around all the empty area while he flew out of bounds.
“I’m going to be unkillable haha,” laughed Edward rolling on to the other side.
“Neat,” said Mule, climbing to his paws as a boxer breed of dog.”woof, woof,”.
The beast charged forward, sliding under a slowly closing door made by fused elementals, and then leaping through the air after Edward.
“Let’s hook up,” interrupted Mule, sending a line of twisted substance spinning toward his target.
It wrapped his head up like a spider's victim. Edward tried to fight back, but he was suddenly overwhelmed with non stop orgasms.
Mule suddenly unhooked Edward's head and sent it spinning at a group of enemies. He nocked apart blocks that turned into chunks. A tiny Element beeped like an ambulance speeding across the floor lit up in flashing runes until Edward hit into it smacking it away with a home run.
“Boom!”
The ceiling in front of them collapsed burying blocks and kicking up moon dust.
Mule cracked two bags of crystal dust together, and then rubbed them as they hummed a spell in ancient tongue. The air in front of him turned into his own world while the two powders mingled into a combination.
“There's one down, time to farm some more, want me to hit your g spot again,” teased Mule, holding Edwards suspended in the air with an anti-gravity spell.
“Fuck you buddy,” laughed the man receiving oxygen again.
Wait I can breath Edward realized, floating high within a hazy bubble of a medicinal spell.
“Actually just do it once more please,”
“Later bitch.”
An explosion rocked the surface as Edward was shot through the roof into the moonlight. A trail of connecting substances of blank mass connected him to his puppet master.
“I see the human through you.” he heard telepathically.
The surface of the floating moon had become eerily quiet until he heard the pouring water. It sounded as if a thousand rains were happening simultaneously on the rocks of an offshore ledge. The previously tranquil surface of the advancing moon was washed away as the giant natural magic spaceship was put under pressure by the waterfall at the end of the planet.
Edward was sucked back under the surface as water bouncing from impact miles away began to fall on here as rain.
“They are flying us from the core through the massive waterfall at the end of the surface, brace yourself,” explained Mule via different voices in his head.
“Get us to safety c’mon fool,” screamed Edward, having landed in Mule's outstretched hand that rested on the other side on the flat top of cane.
“It’s fascinating that these creatures have remained hidden from me all these years despite my constant searching. . I wonder if they have shown themselves to many, if any, before us, but now they are on the move uncloaked for some inexplicable reason,” continued Mule, camouflaging under a pile of blocks formed from toppled Elementals.
Many more enemies had entered the picture with different new forms had been added to the fray. There was one that rolled in like logs on a river. They flew on some kind of energy that controlled them forward. One log of runes would dip in a section of its invisible flying course and then the next in line would mirror this bizarre behavior. This was interspersed with the booming bass that rattled the floor on the slow approach of the next elemental combination of war.
“Hey help me escape before we hit space and I’ll help you,” Edward pleaded while the walls around him closed to nothing.
“Hmmmm,” mused Mule.
The humming energy echoing from them and cracked static noises of glitching production. A dark and sinister synth played an industrial blend while steam filled the area. The blocks absorbed more blocks from nearby walls and special runes along the hall with every addition the surge of energy increased as the floor was repaired. It would keep growing until the threat was terminated. Now it was 24 blocks joined together, and another hall was completely walled off. The power levels had become sufficient to start magnetizing in new blocks from an increasing distance to grow increasingly quickly. They were trapped.
“A tank is headed our way,” said Mule.
“Well i might be hard as farc but my head ain’t thick enough for this fuck off,” yelled Edward as he rolling away.
He groaned in frustration and immediately reversed course coming in contact with a log that hit him back into place like a pool cue. In the distance a tank composed of what looked like thousand sheets of elementals stacked on top of each other like little plastic pieces. It crawled forward hovering as close to the ground as possible. A massive totem on the back charged momenta until pounding down producing a miniature quake in its wake. Another tank followed this from somewhere doubling the shaking ground.
Mule flew through a gap as a hummingbird. Edward tried to follow but was caught out in the cold, stuck in a spot not any bigger than a coffin and sprayed with any icy mist by an Elemental. Mule stared Edward in the eyes while his mouth was frozen shut from a distance.
“You are a man. You must recognize I am more than a man. better than,” Mule communicates telepathically.
“poof!” vanished.
“Coward. I’ll eat my way out of here and then you ass!” Screamed Edward.
The rocks kept closing around while he kept biting. Little pieces chipped away in both directions until his teeth were rapidly filled down to nothing, and the hole he had eaten was quickly plugged by more flying logs. The final scream was muffled as they locked together into a tight prison system.
”Smash!”
Mule had shifted into a giant octopus flopping around and flinging blocks into each other with enough force to shatter them like glass. The area around Edward had been cleaned away.
“Now you are free to speak, but best do it quick before the flood hits,” he finished.
“Parasite,” ragged Edward internally.
He was still trying to fight a rock by biting it, but ended up sucking the tentacle. The ground pulled apart in sections of increasingly growing rifts. The water poured away taking anything caught in the sinks. A massive chunk was pulled away taking the tank that had caused it and many nearby blocks falling into the lunar sea. The sound of the waterfall was immense, packing enough decimals to deafen anything with normal ears, and flatten anything not rock it immediately hit on impact. If gravity would have slowed the stream or had any effect it didn't show falling off Tenare into space.
“Splash”.
A wave of water rushed into the trench, down a matching turquoise tunnel, and then charged around a corner. The levees broke until there was the loud roar of 1000 times the force. There was a mounting pressure while everything was pushed down the corridors as they rapidly flooded.
The octopus with 7 arms flew through the hole it had smashed in the wall. Into the void inside the moving moon carrying the moaning Edward. The water followed raging into the entry before spilling away into darkness. Mule grabbed the cut off head by his suction cups as the bubbles blew from his beak. Air bubbles also escaped Edwards mouth as he drowned trying to get in a bite.
“Hehehe I’ve got you man don’t worry huhuhuhu,” laughed Mule, inspecting his prize.
The rest of the tentacles wrangled deeper into the cave with his four legs for movement, two appendages spread air crystal dust over the head tightly held. Edward was put into a coma with mind melting orgasms that wouldn’t stop going.
