35 - The Vortex

35 - The Vortex

Everyone gathers around Emberlyn as they hear that the Triune is dead. "What does that even mean?" Floran asked in a loud tone.

Emberlyn was overwhelmed, not only by the information about the Triune, but also by everyone standing around her. "I don't know." she says with tears in her eyes.

Octopus Man shrugged. "Welp, I guess we don't need the key anymore." he said nonchalantly.

"Wait, we are just going to quit? Just like that?" Cutecumber asked in disbelief.

Mr. Fluffypants smiled and shouted, "YES! That's gives me and 7 a better chance to get the key!" Mazialia slapped him on the back of the head so hard he collapsed to the floor instantly. "You idiot! The dimensions are collapsing. We'll die before we can get the key." Mazialia said, scolding him.

Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man walked back to where his broken pencil was and sighed. "I'll just take you to the final floor of the tower. You can get it now and do whatever you want with it. I don't care anymore." he said in an emotionless tone.

They then started ascending to the final floor of the tower. The 26th floor to be precise. When they got there, Mazialia grabbed a golden key which was hovering in the air. "Is this it?" he asked. Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man nodded.

"Hey! Who said you get the key?" Octopus Man shouted. Mazialia looked upset and replied saying, "You yourself literally said you didn't need it anymore."

"Not for the Triune, but for biscuit land." Octopus Man retorted.

Mazialia held the key close to him and said, "I need it to go to the fountain of infinite wisdom." Octopus Man and Mazialia stared at each other angrily.

Mr. Fluffypants then shoved Octopus Man out of the way and said, "No! I need it for a vacation in Morocco."

Floran rolled her eyes. "Yeah, he clearly needs it the most." she said sarcastically.

Cutecumber stepped in and said, "Since the Triune is no more, I need the key to get a new cucumber sword. This one is so old."

As they were all arguing over it, Emberlyn shyly raised her hand. "Umm... I.. I would really like to get it so I can get rid of these flames." she said quietly.

"SHUT UP!" they all yelled. Emberlyn looked down sadly.

Octopus Man, Cutecumber, Mr. Fluffypants, and Mazialia all had their hands on the key, trying to take it for themselves. They then heard a rumbling sound, and before they knew it, the roof of the tower was ripped off and sucked into a spiraling vortex above them.

Wind blew around them as they looked up in fear. Brazilian Bug Boy drew his sword, and Floran summoned energy spikes around herself.

Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man looked up and said, "It's time for our dimension to collapse for good, isn't it?" Octopus Man smiled and replied, "Nah, don't worry. Boomerang will save us again.”

"Not quite." Boomerang said as he descended down from the sky. He was still in his nightmare form, and Lusha was on top of him. "My heavenly realm that is adjacent to this word was destroyed already." he concluded.

"Darn." Octopus Man replied sadly.

Lusha hopped off Boomerang and smiled with her sharp teeth. "Hey guys. Look like we're gonna die huh?" she said calmly. She didn't seem scared at all.

The vortex seemed as if it was drawing closer, and Mazialia's eyes widened in fear. He dropped to his knees. "God. You have returned." he said with a shaky voice.

Mr. Fluffypants hid behind The Number 7. "I'M SCARED!" he yelled. The Number 7, being the most reassuring being in existence, just stood there.

Emberlyn passed out from fear. Brazilian Bug Boy looked at her. He looked back at the vortex and quickly removed his final invisible glove. He felt a surge of power come over and him, and his sword glowed brighter than ever.

He prepared to fly with his insect wings, but he couldn't move. It was as if gravity was amplified for him.

Floran pointed, and her energy spears began to fly towards the vortex, but they were disintegrated before they touched it.

Lusha just giggled at watching everyone try to defeat the vortex. "You do know you can't beat it right. That's something that can't be defeated by any living thing. That thing isn't even living itself" she said.

Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man couldn't do anything without his pencil. He just accepted his fate when he heard what Lusha said.

"There has to be some way to defeat it!" Floran shouted. Mazialia turned around. "Do not defy your true God! It wishes for you to be dead because you are not a follower!" he yelled.

Mazialia then stopped. He started shaking in fear. Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man noticed he had just randomly stopped talking, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Mazialia just stared off into the distance. "The script... It says... I die."

Just then, he lost his footing, and got sucked up into the vortex. Chess Hat Pennsylvanian Cape Man took a step backwards in disbelief.

Octopus Man puts a card on a pile. "Go fish!" he shouted. Kookakoo shook her head and put another card down. "Nuh uh. Draw 2!" she replied.

Floran walked up to them and shouted, "Did you not here, what Lusha said? No living thing can beat that thing, so we are all literally going to die, and you two are just playing cards?"

Kookakoo looked up. "No living thing huh?" she said to herself.

The vortex got closer, and everyone seemed to have given up hope.

Mr. Fluffypants kept crying behind 7, and Emberlyn was still passed out. Floran gritted her teeth, and Brazilian Bug Boy struggled to move.

Lusha leaned against Boomerang and sighed. "Welp, I guess the story end here, literally."

The wind grew stronger, and it felt as if they were all going to be sucked up, but just then, the wind suddenly stopped.

Emberlyn jumped awake. "What I miss?" she yelled.

They all look to see what happened. A girl with platinum hair stood in front of them. The girl was short, and her hair was short and messy, yet she was glowing with a powerful aura.

The girl turned around, revealing herself to be Kookakoo. She was eating the diamond incrusted biscuit she had found, which seemed to have given her a massive upgrade. "Biscuits aren't living things." she said with a smile.
