"So what are we going to do now?" Brazilian Bug Boy asked, wanting to move on. "I dunno. Let's just get back on Boomerang and go to the Kingdom of Act." Cutecumber replied, shrugging her shoulders.

Strawbetty perked up when she heard the Kingdom of Act. "Oh, like I said, I'm from there. I know a shortcut if you want. she said with a bright smile. "Sure! That would be really helpful." Cutecumber replied.

The witch, who was still in a headlock, said, "Be careful on your way out. There are tons of evil creatures in this forest."

"AND YOU'RE ONE OF THEM!" Floran shouted angrily.

"No, please trust me. I'm innocent!" the witch cried. "I'll believe you when you actually give solid evidence." Floran replied.

Octopus Man interrupted them. He was now wearing a suit and tie and holding legal documents. "I believe I can assist the witch by being her lawyer." he stated. He pulled out a paper from the documents, and he studied it carefully. "Mhm... it says here she is innocent." he said, turning the paper around. It was just a blank sheet of paper that said "Innocent" on it.

"STOP THAT!" Floran yelled. Octopus Man sighed. "And I bought this suit just for this occasion." he said, sulking.

"Too bad! Take it off and go back to wearing your normal clothing and cape. I've had enough of you." Floran replied harshly.

"The witch pointed behind Floran and said, "Well, I'm sure that thing would get you to believe I'm not the evil one here."

Floran turned around to see a massive centipede in the room. "WHEN DID THAT GET HERE!" Floran shouted.

Kookakoo did a heroic pose with a smug smile. "Don't worry, I've got this!" she shouted, as she inhaled, preparing to yell a math equation. "NO DON'T!" Cutecumber yelled. "This shack is made of wood. You'll catch the whole thing on fire and kill us all!" she concluded.

"Then leave idiot." Kookakoo responded bluntly.

"Oh yeah." Cutecumber said with a tone of realization.

"No please! This is my home!" The witch yelled. "The home of a murderer is just as bad as the murderer." Floran replied. "But I'm innocent!" the witch said once again. "And my name is Wushadabu. At least use my real name." she concluded.

The centipede started moving towards them. Cutecumber unsheathed her cucumber sword, and slice it in half. "That was easy." she stated.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. The centipedes here are hydras." Wushadabu added.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

The centipede grew another its head back, with another as well. The two heads lunged towards Cutecumber, and she screamed in fear as she ran away. Brazilian Bug Boy sliced the heads off with his sword, but now four heads grew back.

"Did you not here what I just said?" Wushadabu asked. "I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING FOR ONCE!" Brazilian Bug Boy shouted in response.

Kookakoo looked at Octopus Man and said, "If only they let me use my math equation." Octopus Man nodded and replied, "Yup. This is all their fault."

Floran sighed and let go of Wushadabu. Wushadabu fell to the ground. "Ouch!" she cried. Floran stood up and summoned ropes of energy around the centipede to keep it bounded. It started struggling to move.

"So, let's think of a way to defeat this thing while It's tied up." Floran said, but just then the centipede let out a screeching sound, and the world around them turned orange. "What happened?" Cutecumber asked.

Strawbetty gasped in fear. "This is centipede world. Anyone who goes here loses all of their power and can't move anymore." Just when she finished her sentence, they all collapsed to the ground, not being able to move anymore.

Octopus Man and Kookakoo were sitting in beach chairs drinking from coconuts while wearing sunglasses. "Once again, you should have just let me use my explosion." Kookakoo stated.

Wushadabu reached for her wand which was a few inches away from her. She mustered up all of her remaining strength to finally grab it. It started glowing with power, but the centipede breathed fire on her hand. "OW!" she screamed, and let go of the wand.

Due to the world causing everyone to lose their powers, Floran's energy ropes lost their strength, and the centipede broke free. "IT'S GOING TO EAT US ALL!" Brazilian Bug Boy yelled in fear.

"OCTOPUS MAN HELP!" Cutecumber yelled.

Octopus man, who was still relaxing on a beach chair, opened his mouth and breathed fire back at the centipede. This caused the centipede to stumble back. "There, now it's all up to you." he said with a smirk.

"But how? We can't move?" Cutecumber asked.

"Figure it our yourselves losers." Kookakoo said in a snarky tone. "HEY THAT'S MEAN! WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU?" Brazilian Bug Boy yelled. Octopus Man smiled and replied, "Oh don't worry she's fine. She just hates you for not letting her use her math equation."

Strawbetty spoke up, saying, "So, we chill to die here, or...?"

While the rest were talking, Floran was trying to think of a plan. The four-headed centipede started to get up again. Floran closed her eyes tightly, deeply trying to think of an idea.

"AAAH! THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO!" Cutecumber cried in fear. Brazilian Bug Boy closed his eyes in fear. "To think we defeated an evil dictator who was draining life out of existence, a world ending void, and a demon apocalypse, but we're going to die to a centipede." he said in disbelief.

"Oh no, we're so scared." Octopus Man and Kookakoo said unenthusiastically.

Floran continued thinking as the Centipede inched closer to them. "Come on Floran, think!" she mumbled to herself. Just then she had an idea. "That's it!" she said. She reached into her robe pocket and pulled out the block of cheese that Goose Man's hanger transformed into.

With her remaining strength, Floran threw the cheese at the centipede. As the cheese hurled through the air, the rest of them watched intently.

When the cheese finally collided with the centipede, it simply bounced off of it. "THAT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Floran yelled.

Meanwhile, on top of Boomerang, Lusha sighed to herself. "What's taking them so long. This should just be a filler villain right?" she said. Goose Man shrugged. "They have my hanger, they will be okay." he replied.

"Well I hope so. I'm starting to get worried." Emberlyn said.

"I just hope they didn't run across anymore centipedes." Boomerang stated.
