Mystical bus party!
Chapter 17: Shanties Of the Night
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe audience of contestants came back inside the building, there were three massive cargo containers, about 12 feet wide. Each and 6 feet long! The center container like it was built with a moon/sun roof. On each of the other containers. There was a large double doorway set up, each with an unusual locking mechanism, even with its size, it still was quite small. Nowhere near the size of the actual the museum in the college campus. There was an unspoken rule whenever a gang member was given security museum in the college, respect its treasures as it was your own, not take, not use, for only the true owners of the items use them with no penalties. Even those who do not take stocks into superstitions and woe are listened to these commands! Especially among though the gangs!
“Okay,Olmec , why don't you tell our contestants about the museum in question?” Andrea explained while gesturing his hands to lead in everybody, the Pirates were standing around the containers, Lisa was getting out the grappling hooks, and the cables for them as well.
“There were three entrances into the museum the front door, the back window, and the skylight! Your choices are yours alone on how you may enter and exit! You have a total of 30 minutes on the clock in order to get in and get out! The location of the cross, The Pirate's Treasure Room!” The voice announced! As the Pirates grappling hooks latched onto the of the containers! Each one climbing, the ropes with their arms and dangling their legs! With the exception, Lisa used an auto fishing reel system for grappling Hook the high industrial model, rather big but comfortable.
Upon reaching the roof of the containers, they had towards the skylight looking into the sky like they could see a silver statue of the Roman god Bacchus God of Wine within the center, on my gigantic golden throne with large container pot containing liquor, they could see the silver chemical swirling inside the pot held on the left shoulder of the gigantic God. All three of them slightly chuckled. Of course, the big Fat God of the Roman pantheon would be sitting on the throne instead of the usual king of the gods. Jupiter! After all the sexy fat man fits perfectly with the sumo's, was drunk and has thousands of dancing, singing ladies and extremely well-endowed satyrs! Then the three started doing a game of rock, paper, scissors on the with open the window!
Mikey pulled out some of his lock picking tools, these tools were meant for the only robbery so he usually didn't carry them to combat situations, first off, the standard Swiss Army knife(deluxe version, with a cost of a good $600, includes a small battery for flashlight, laser focus drilled, portable Wi-Fi connector & a small carrying case normally met for tobacco but uses it bubblegum.) . Using the laser drilled to carefully remove the covering, over the screws of the window. “John, I think you can use a stick of gum.” Noticing carefully that there were already some laser grids, along with the edge of the windowsill, going out from the Swiss Army knife's compartment a stick of Scottie Leaf Chewing gum. Taking the aluminum foil, as he turned on the motor reel on the driver setting of the Swiss Army knife. As he slowly opened up the window when placed viewing the aluminum all over the laser grid, reflecting the beings just enough so that way is area to give out a nice doorway. This took nearly 20 seconds. Using the ropes to slide into the room carefully to avoid the giant sculpture, inside the pot was actually Mercury, if boiled it could turn into a deadly gas.
“It shouldn't be that hard, to find the Pirates treasurer room... Unless they give us riddles, and the map layout always changes.” Lisa explained as she looked at the room, upon the bronze plaques that were lining around the doors, there riddles detailing which room they led into. Looking over to one of the riddles! “Golden, ships lined with the lives and souls of their victims told. That sounded very Pirates! I'll take out this!” Mikey looked over to a different riddle, that explained: The man of the river, robbed his brother of his son and his servants, making the waters flow red, and the lives of the many dead. That sounds also like a true pirate style when it came to his mind so he went that way. John looked at the last riddle and it didn't sound like a pirate storyline at all! So John quickly ran after Mikey.
The answer to Lisa's riddle!
A collection of golden gods all in bizarre designs, one she passed was a God carrying two giant stone shields, actually, she walks in between this gigantic golden legs, she mentally made a remark herself as a good thing he wasn't packing that much! Looking into the room. There is definitely nothing that felt like a pirate story, then she heard a loud noise, she turned back to exit the way she entered only to realize that the shields were now closed upon sealing the room, nice and tight! Glowing words popped up, upon the newly closed door. Warning Mercury gas trap has been activated, the room of the Silver gods has been quarantined! It will take 30 minutes for it to be cleared of poisons.
“Well, go to the next room, I hope Mikey and John have a better job.” Did she say walking underneath the yellow bat like a statute, gigantic and glimmering with gold, and vibrant pink? “Wa...” The golden statue attacked her, the gigantic posting size. She quickly pulled out her guns and start shooting, the Taser shocks bounced into the target! Sending the bat like creature backward! Just make sure it was down she pulled out one her grenades and tossed it, and fired a shot, causing a massive explosion! And blasting open the doorway, causing the room to shake! The smoke slowly began to fill the room. Lisa quickly start to run in the opposite direction, making sure to avoid any chances of getting it with the toxic gas. Climbing out of the rubble. Was Fluttershy covered in burns and injuries, rolling over and copied herself against one of the statutes, pulling out a strange bottle and taking a step.
John and Mikey:
“Why are we in your home place?” Mikey commented as they entered the Egyptian room and John was slightly peeved at him. “Douy you make constant Egyptian references, I mean you call the Apple girl who was dressed up in a cat costume the cat goddess when you are underneath a hallucinogenic drug. If I want to sound racist right now I would make a black joke. Like we're in a tomb. And we're going to be attacked by some monster coming out of the box behind us which was used as a doorway to enter into this room and will grab you and kill you. Meanwhile, I get away Scot free.” Explaining basically TV tropes.
“You just pointed out the problem. Although I still don't understand how that riddle made next to this one instead of a pirate storyline, I mean you kill a guy's son and makes the water run red and steal hold bunch of treasure? It's a lot more sounding than two brothers, one of ice & one of the light battle for the throne, the brother ice, his sons will kill those that prevent their father, claiming the ground.” John explained, explaining that riddle that they read on the door.
“Yeah, that's the truth, too bad were not stealing the object were actually practicing for. Or else we would be the perfect room.” Commented Mikey. Look at the case Canopic jars, that would contain the artifacts in this room. Turning around. Meanwhile, John was taking a look at the other riddles.
“Five blades crafted, from the elemental forces! These blades were used to cut to save the world. From the volley of God's.” Looking over from the other doorway. This one sounds much more like a pirate! “The beast that reaches across the seven seas, each one of its heads rising from the ocean scenes! Pulls the chariots of the horses of the ocean waters, sinking ships of the enemies, the court. I would say this one is very much more of a pirate theme. So sat sail to those seven seas.” But before he went towards that next chamber. Tossing into the next chamber a whole graphic grenade. Figuring the next room would have more traps active.
“Yeah, I shall probably send him my drone, maybe that should help us out a little bit further?” Mikey realizing that maybe he send out the drone check out the rooms they wouldn't split up and be in this situation the place.
The Room of the Royal:
Lisa ran into the room passing the jade warrior, not paying attention to what she was running into! The laser grid was naturally invisible, cutting off the invisible tripwires of light when she passed through them! The battle ax slammed right behind her, giving her a big startle she quickly pulled out her blasters and turned and fired as much as possible, but the ax not exactly pure jade! Nor was the statute. And then she began to hear a strange noise, it was like a humming charging noise!
“OH SHIT!” Hou Yi was firing lasers, Lisa using her flexible dodging strength with avoiding the beings while doing a spin kick back and letting loose for blades, the spinning blades were let loose breakdancing maneuvers, slicing into certain areas, but not cutting any of the wire that she probably needs to cut down, instead stones and boulders were dropping off, opening traps of mercury that forced her to use her grappling hook and nearly fell into more trouble, slices in burns as she barely managed to get out with all her limbs attached to her body! Arriving into the room that her teammates just left!
The Aquarius
“Looks clear, and according to the drone. There are no laser grades to trigger off traps so we should be okay but we should still watch our step, after all, we don't know what other types of security measures are active, after all, they fly, they don't across the ground.” Mikey commented as they walked into the room, making sure to watch the steps across the ground.
“Yeah, and does what types of traps that they set up with one of the masters of the ocean floors, after all, we would be locked inside this room and flooded it. We activated the trap.” Pointing out to all the fishes that are lining the walls. Then both of them instantly began to cringes they spotted one very familiar site inside the aquarium fighting an octopus! “Well, there goes my enjoyment of long walks along the beach!”
“You said brother from another mother, you think the chef would at least wear Speedo, or with all those roles. I would think that would be invisible?” Commented Mikey has been witnessed! Lisa slowly coming after them.
Lisa was looking disheveled, with a panicked look on her face, John was the first one to notice her! “How did you come out the same room, We did?” Looking slightly shocked, and working on probably the idea that these were all flat screens using prerecorded images, after all, having actual fish aquarium would be ridiculous not to mention also the concept of the sumo being in a fish tank that was the only 2 feet thick, obviously some of the even fit inside that container, let alone a man who had to be at least 30[Ft] wide in diameter.
“Well, I went into the entrance area, and a double back around to the chamber. You guys went into which was also wrong. And was the only one out of the booby-trap!” She answered with a slightly hysterical tone, not watching where she was going as she ran over to John and gave him a big hug, as one of the panels began to sink down.
Instantly, the entrances were still tight, the room was enclosed, pouring out of the Hydra heads the gallons of ocean water! “And looks like you just activated another one!” Mikey side, well at least now they're going to get the answer. If those were flat screens? All the clues pointing to the signs that they were real glass containers, as the water level, stop that there knee joints, circulating the water was Ells electrical standpoint! And the statue of the trident was slowly being drawn upward!
“Wait a minute, isn't Poseidon supposed to be off of the God of Sto...!” Before John could finish his statement all for them both the rousing shock of the electricity shooting through their bodies, instantly frying the electronics that was on their bodies, John quickly kicked off his boots while he was still being shocked slamming directly at the next gate. Lisa was having trouble standing, the wiry frame wasn't used to being electrocuted. This severely! Mikey was holding up to the shock a little bit better than the others, it was unsure why. Maybe he was used to electroshocking from working on his electronics, or maybe he was wearing rubber insulators at certain points of his body?
She's alive!
As the snakelike doorway was slammed open off its hinges, the shocking water or in the way as John was vibrating the small burns on his hands, flowing water leading into the next room where they could see the ship of the Vikings and their God of storms and the master lightning wielding the glowing hammer to lead the way! “Of course, the best well-known Pirates of the seas. The Vikings!” Commented Lisa wishing she took some extra courses on studying Viking mythology, maybe next semester. So sign up or Prof. Ty Odinson classy supposedly an expert on mythology. Then Lisa noticed she was standing across from her. Wait, how are you still alive? I threw a hand grenade at your face?” Fluttershy, wearing a tattered destroyed uniform is clearly exposing her top if it wasn't for chain Bra . It would be even more revealing! She was standing in the middle of the room.
“I don't know what your surprise, we are talking about a group that commonly takes on the metalheads, with their bare hands.” Commented Mikey pulling out his blades, from his ammo belts and getting ready to fight them. “John, you get the cross, will hold off security.” John ran straight towards the chamber that was containing the cross, picking up his giant hammer to break any glass containers! Meanwhile, Shy was starting to run to block it, but several key daggers were thrown in her direction, with a small series of piano wire?
Running into the wires, shedding several inches of blood, the layers of fat were the only thing keeping her being sliced into! Forcing her back. The blades as the knives returned back to their owner, flying back and forth through the air as if they would be easily controlled by the small gestures of the fingers! John managed to quickly grab the cross, Lisa delivering some quick kicks, but none of the deadly shockwaves that she presented.
“Crap I've run out of ammo, I didn't even know that was possible!” Commented Lisa, realizing that the bleeding and bruised giant was standing in front of the only exit? “Wait, how do you get into this room we were in the previous room, walked down and I mentioned in the room that was on the opposite side of the center area? The only way to get into this room ahead of us. Is running through the room filled with toxic gas?”
“Oh well, that's easy. I'm not the element of honesty, I'm the element of kindness and the kindness has run out!” Commented Fluttershy. Standing in front of the doorway, quickly understood what this meant one of the traps can lie! The greatest traps were stealing them in the room. It didn't matter what was in the room as long as they were stuck in that area! Or unable to go back!
John was the closest to Fluttershy, raising his hammer and swing it straight into flutters gigantic belly, it was a powerful blow to the stomach, usually knocking all the air out her stomach while knocking a little bit a few inches off backward into the direction of The Shrine of the Silver Gods! But grabbing onto the doorway. She stayed clearly blocking the chamber. And coughing up a little bit of blood!
“Holy cow. She took the hammer to the gut! Any suggestions boss?” Shouted John going back and getting ready to swing his hammer again!
“Lis our bombs still usable?” Asked Mikey and her reply were yes but with some minor details. She was going to conclude before he picked up one of them off of her ammo belts, tossing is explosive as well as one of his daggers! “John back upward distance and then slamming for another swing, just a moment, the smoke clears! Lisa hangs on tight.”
“Say what I just told you that normally they would need to be hit with an ignition source.” Lisa replied as she felt her hand being grabbed by Mikey, the container exploded on Fluttershy, around her belly, which was already bruised on several areas is she could feel several ribs already being cracked even more fiercely than before. Some were even already to the point of being shattered. But she said onward onto the doorway, now to submit around the door was starting to crack and crumble! With another pilot swing of the hammer, more air was sent out her stomach, and sending her flying, a stream of blood shooting out of her mouth! As she slammed into the statute.
They got to the windowsill area and Mikey began by first off, throwing Lisa up into the air! She grabbed onto the roof window sill and climbed up out the ceiling, she dropped worker cables down to help John up as well is Mikey. “John you go first. I'll take care of this, after all, the goal is to get the lewd out as soon as possible! You still have the cross right?” John replied with, Showing the actual artifact! Before climbing up. But flutters woke up, hemorrhaging blood, chopping and tapping into her pony power, revealing the Pegasus wings! “So you're one of those things too, maybe there's truth to those fish people? And you must be those angels, while certainly fallen from grace. Let me send you to your proper place!” He said giving his blades ready, but flutters rage overtook her to begin with an arising punch, grabbing his head, then throwing him across the two rooms, and slamming through the casket door! Normally below like that would kill a man, but Mikey got up with a little bit of coughing and said. “And they said taking drugs equals no! Say I'm no loser!” Climbing up to his feet and quickly placement his explosive water bombs onto the wall, the detonators were fried so there was only one method, triggering off the explosion, manually activating the C4 explosive With a height of impact! The ranging gigantic Bull was a good option!
Flutters continues charging, with thundering steps running into the electrified water, feeling the electrical shocks running up her spine, forcing her heart to skip beats slowing down for blood from bleeding out all over the place, her lungs were getting hard to function like balloons with several needle pricks, the steam viewing from her nasals! The eyes were glowing bright red, she was charging like a raging bull! The momentum unstoppable wings flared out, the Pegasus feather from a bright yellow to dark black with the smoke billowing from behind them! Slamming the full force Mikey braced himself for the impact, by hiding in the doorway near the explosive area. The explosion bellowed! “Fluttershy!” Shouted the girls as they rush to their friend battered and beaten, the nurses came over and quickly start taking her off to the medical section on a gurney. Pinky pie, rarity, and RD were on their way with the nurses. Mikey came out with a rousing came out, bragging himself, applejack grabbed by the collar of his shirt and was ready to punch his head right off the shoulders, but disappearing slipping out of the shirt and ammo belts!
“Don't worry you that sweet little angel hasn't truly fallen she'll be back in heavens with two shrieks of a shake, if not, at least She'll have those changed with her lord and master.” Mikey replied standing next to his teammates.
“Mike, I didn't take you to be a chubby chaser?” Replied John being confused from placing his hammer ready to defend is the commander, being the most low-tech of the group meant he actually had less of the problems involving thing his equipment. Being stopped granted the holo-grenades were still useless. Lisa didn't want to go into any type arguments with all her weapons of the trade were trash she was no shape for a battle.
“I'm not, and I'll explain later, let's just say she doesn't have enough traits to exhibit whatchamacallits? Harpies? Yeah, I think that species?” Mikey explained as he signaled his crew to leave, taking their prices and going.
Revenant placed his hand over to AJ shoulder. “Don't worry universe, will pay back, Tenfold in the cosmic scene.” Gesturing the girls back to the medical area. The Corpse party was taking the girls over towards the medical area.
Nurses of heaven:
“Don't worry, Dr. Atomic is one of the best doctors around, I heard she lost five patients in her entire career, I highly doubt that your friend will be number six, and even then, those were extraordinary circumstances that are really difficult, like organs being completely missing. Or a gigantic chest bursting alien.” Draug explained while he was being elbowed by both his commander and his teammate. Rented a titanium torso makes it hard for anyone to use the signal to not continue running your mouth.
RD commented. “Come on flutters, you can do this! you with your brother you can deal with anything!” She said trying to give some major compliments, the two were big-time friends way-way back like kindergarten, well actually it's more like pre-K but Rainbow does through like to recall the days when she was in diapers.
“Yeah, she'll be fine, after all, we can do are spa days. And talk about the latest concepts and fashion trends, and having theological conversations over fur & synthetic concepts.” Rarity commented with her slightly worried tone. The others were hobbled up, well with the exception pinky pie was comatose in the other room.
“I'm sure she'll be fine, I mean after all her girlfriend is not covering all over the place she's taking a nice nap, also I didn't know you? you have the ability to change the fabric balance of your hair?” Draug commented still trying to do the ensuring up methods but also high between his two friends still absolutely terrified of Rarity.
“Actually, I believe she's comatose because she has a concentrated conference of hypoglycemia, which means you better pray that she never does any bleeding damage, friendly or otherwise. No wonder her preferred weapon of choices a Canon. Massive explosions often make it hard to figure out what are the materials that subject.” Devouere commented and totally correcting any extra helpful motions.
One of nurses came out of the room, looking exhausted, but the gigantic medical rooms. It was almost like a white sheet was moving, covered in swatches of red, and the blue hats floating sky large beady eyes! Coming out right behind the gigantic nurse Dr. Atomic, known as Pam is her friends in her slightly skinny form. Well, not skinny the normal sense, but skinny compared to the actual lot. After all, she still provided some lovely curves.
“Hello, nurse, you two stop putting dents in my chest! There hard to bump back out!”Draug replied, remarking how many times he's been elbowed in the ribs and how that doesn't work when you have to metal skeletal structure as well Skin!
“Good news she'll be fine.” As a collective sigh of relief, and the girls, AJ was off to explain to her cousin. “Although she will need to stay on bed rest for several days, even with 3-D printed lung tissue, and titanium ribs, she's going to need some bed rest! And undergoing a temporary strict diet, it wasn't for one of the side effects also increasing the heart muscle durability engine she would not be here right now. No strenuous exercises, no weightlifting, For at least two weeks! And before any new girls climber to asking can she go on a bus ride, yes, but not today. I'm keeping her for 48 hours to watch her protein, iron and sugar levels. “ Dr. Atomic Explained!
“So how much is the bill?” Commented Trixie, figuring that she usually the one to be stuck with the money bill. Despite her being technically actually, the one who had to create this contract situation just to pay for the repairs on the bus!
“Oh nothing,work insurance covers it. You did read article 217 on the contract right? For all injuries during the job are covered by the gang organization, according to SSh laws 2.5 and 2.6, although I don't know why the hero Association is involved in criminal action contracts, I guess it's better to make sure that the criminal organizations which do send out certain people to work HenchMen/women or local mad scientists and super villains that actually require those types of jobs, after all superheroes to call collateral damage, and they do need to set up several commercial walls in order to make sure that this is a functionable economy. I mean that's the same thing including our group.” Explained Devouere. Pam gave a nod to agree with that statement.
AJ return and said. “ Pinky pie going to stay overnight, to watch Flutters.” Standing next to the group.
“Made me see her?” Asked Twilights(both of them) . Pam gave a nod and led them to the room. Inside was a gigantic statue, standing next to Flutters! She was on a standard medical bed, being hooked up to several machines, your usual Heart monitor, several IVs for emergency callsign usual stuff. The only unusual thing that inside the room was the gigantic huge multicolored jade totem!
The totem look like Easter Island head but in the colors of Claire Bonbon Sap! Was almost like a giant version of her head, the mossy green hair, almost like a gigantic Bush, growing out of shimmering Amethyst soil, shimmering blue eyes, it was strange? Was like unusually blue emeralds? Almost the most unusual and on like design feature. That didn't match face was the bolts that were running around the area where her mouth would be?
“Oh my gosh, my question, are any of you girls listed as undead?” Shouted the statute causing them all to jump, RD discovered a new feature slimy body, namely that she could stick to the ceiling like exploded bubblegum! Both of Rarity and the twins were investigating, For entirely different reasons! AJ looked around shaking and slightly observed, but she seen some crazy magic stuff before so it's not too shocking. Trixie was frozen, the her face the was not of fear or shock. Sunset was examining the area, and was the first to reply.
“I believe not, although I don't know what's the status of Rainbow at the moment, but if she's anything like the others slimy subjects, I would say no.” Sunset replied, carefully studying now, the gigantic talking rock.
“Okay, once I get off the ceiling. I think I'm going to meet you at the dungeon Rare!” Replied Rainbow struggling her wings as she maneuvered them over her body, trying to rip herself off the ceiling!
“Sure thing darling, but we all have our questions.” Rarity replied taking a seat.
“Right, I guess I should explain this is what we like to call Totem magic, right now I'm in the form of jade totem. One of the main reasons why I'm more refined into a gemstone status. Using the harmonizing frequencies of varieties of crystal vibrations. I encouraged molecules in one body to regenerate, using the energy of mama around us. Our very simple term. I've literally turn myself into a small power plants, and began slowly radiating energy to areas that were capable of powering the devices that locate inside everybody. Causing the cells to remove dead tissue and replacing living tissue. Although there are some major side effects. Normally I would be completely defenseless in this form.” Claire replied, then her metallic ponytail raised up on the top of her head, it was small still the same size as her normal ponytail would be anyhow! Despite being attached to a gigantic skull, version of her body.
“Hey, your ponytails, opening up?” Commented pony Twilight, paying attention to the energy fields. The tip dropped down to the ground, with large green wire attached to it.
“Now this is only for demonstration purposes, so I'm not actually going to plant the actual tip of my hair into the ground. But I've noticed that in this format. I'm also a gigantic heavy object that can be used to slam into things. Although usually I be teamed up with somebody to just use my hair as a gigantic system to set me up as a mace. I can put myself into the ground, and he twirled around like a wrecking ball on other occasions, or supply myself into the ceiling and use that as a gigantic wrecking ball!” She explained, causing images just to pop into everyone's heads on this concept.
“Interesting, please continue.” Acquired the twins, scooting up. While Rarity was examining the beautiful jewel body, Sunset was also doing some quick studying as well. Pinky hiking in the room with a bit of a shock, and quickly sat on the floor next to Shy. AJ quickly stepped out the room, coughing up dark memories and thoughts into her mind that she called some things She best left to forget. She always hated hospitals. This was the longest exactly been in one when she's not sick! Trixie was sitting outside the door. She was reading more on the contract that she and the group signed. Mainly this about covering medical benefits, this really made her wired to like the idea of having this place on speed dial, this is better medical coverage the old universe!
End of chapter: next chapter: rules and design
Next Chapter: rules and design Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 38 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
first and foremost, sorry it took me so long but election-year, and I don't want to get into too much, on politics, but already pretty much guess you want to from this universe. To my universe! Or probably moved to one of the other many universes, personally, right now I'm in the mood to The Walking Dead or Marvel zombie universe, at least there I have a better chance of surviving. So now you know that I did not go for the snake oil salesman. And why do we have to have a Capt. Planet Villain in charge of our environmental system, and it not even a good villain! I mean, I know I'm asking too much from Donald to put in Dr. Blight after all she's a woman, who is married to Mal (the handsome and more sexier Hal 2000) but we should have gotten at least Duke Nukem (and really big into this whole solar power, the entire gimmick is removing the layer that protects us from solar radiation to get more solar radiation) but instead we got one of the very sucky and pointless bad guys of the roster Verminous Skumm! The one time he was cool they placed a tumor on his neck that speaks one word! And hearing about politics. I now know that their game of thrones going on in the White House, I just now looking forward to the Red wedding.
