Chapter 12: Trip on the sky whale
Ain't she a beauty? Found her on the shore with a giant scar on her chest a couple of days ago and decided to give her to you as a gift once you wake up! What do you think?"
Uh... It's pretty nice. Thanks."
That's basically all I could say. There was literally a whale on land wearing headphones probably listening to a really good song and as I thought this all can't be possible, I just remembered I was a giant talking dog man after all...
Uh, dad, I think he's confused." Spanks whispered to his father.
Ah yes! Sorry my friend, this is a sky whale! A necessary automobile needed in all forms of space travel! I decided to get one for you since you may be interested in leaving this boring old world. I mean, it is the homeworld of Generic Town Number 1 after all!"
Then suddenly the whole town broke into laughter but my concern wasn't on that. It was in the fact that if that whale ate me, and I met Maria later on, and took a boat to this island here, that means this whole time I was living on another planet!
I looked up at the sky and saw a faint little blur ball with a tiny green spot...
So was that dream guy on to something?
He did say something about being a mob boss...
But isn't that my dream?
The more I thought about it, the more confused I got. Before I could think any further though...
And that's not all! Il be coming with you!"
Maria burst out of the crowd and barely landed right next to me. She was wearing a white jacket and red shorts along with a giant explorer backpack.
Seems she really wants to come with me. She never mentioned this before though.
Maria! Come on! How many times do I have to tell you! You're safest here! The galaxy is a dangerous place for my little girl!
It's no use dad. Maria's determined to go no matter how many times you warn her. I say let her go." Spanks says to Farmer and Farmer's worried frown turns to a reluctant smile.
Ugh...fine, I hear ya.. Ok Maria! You're free to go!"
Yay! I can't wait to explore the galaxy! I never got the chance to when I was on the run but now..."
Hey now! I didn't say anything about going with company!"
But before I could even protest she grabbed my shoulder and ran towards the whale. However the whale noticed us coming...
...and noticed who was coming to him..
The meal that broke out of his stomach... Guess his next reaction wasn't really a shock huh?
The whale gave us the most shocked expression we've ever seen and although I've not really seen some shocked whales in my lifetime but trust me, this whale was pretty spooked!
It then sprouted bird wings and lifted itself of the ground and before anyone could even think straight, it was too late. The big bastard took of just like that!
But I won't let him go far!
You wanna join me kid? Fine! But trust me, what I plan to do goes way beyond just exploring the galaxy!"
Whatever you big puppy! Whatever it is! I'm up for it!"
I laughed like a maniac at what she just said. And honestly, who could blame me?
I grabbed her of the ground and put her on my shoulders. After giving her the usual "hold on tight" I used my strength to superjump right at the whale and...
Missed!
Guess my injuries were more damaging than I thought...
Luckily Maria jumped of me and managed to grab onto the whale's tail fin just when the big bastard reached the stratosphere.
Judging by how far she was from me and how fast the whale was going up and while I was going down, looks like I'll be plummetting a few miles down.
Or will I?
REPTILE STYLE, CHAMELEON FORM- LICK LASH!
Suddenly, Maria extended her tongue a couple of metres at lightning speed and I grabbed it as quickly as I could and although only a finger managed to touch it, it's stickiness was enough to keep me held on and Maria was strong enough to pull me in...
With her tongue alone! This kid is no joke!
Once I was on the whale, I began heading inside but I looked back to see Maria waving at her people.
Hey.. uh.. we're almost off world. I don't think they can see you." I told her.
Yeah.. I uh.. I still wanna wave. I'm gonna miss them after all. Who knows? Maybe they're waving back." She said, with tears welling up in her eyes.
But once she looked at me. She noticed I started waving as well.
W..what are you doing?" She asked, confused at my sudden waving.
What? We're literally flying off the planet on a giant whale with wings that's wearing headphones and me waving at people I can't see is the thing that confuses you? Maybe I'm not so crazy after all! Hehe!"
But Maria just hugged me, even more tightly than before.
And I felt so nostalgic...
Okay okay! Let's get into the whale. I have a feeling you can't breathe in space hehe." I said, breaking up the hug. And trust me. It hurt way more than it should have.
And just like that, we got into the whale.
How did we get in you ask? Well let's just say we found a hole just the right size....
However, back at the town..
The people were waving at us like crazy!
Huh, guess Maria was right after all.
Spanks hugged his father and the people went back to their normal lives.
But they aren't who we're here for right now.
We're here for a certain bald bastard watching the town square from the back of a nearby building...
And using his banana phone to call a certain someone....
A dangerous someone...
Sorry boss! It seems I was wrong about Spanks'! Turns out he ain't as heartless as I thought! I wanted to have him kill his dad to prove himself to you but I guess that plan is a bust."
Nah...it's fine maaaaan... Take a chill pill... At least you got that Lizardian girl riiiiiight? I heard she was hanging around there after getting exiled for killing a whole lotta people!" The mysterious figure he was contacting said.
I'm so sorry boss but she's off world. Looks like she got herself a sky whale. And that dog guy I told you about is tagging along with her. Should I attack the town anyway?"
"Naaaaah my maaaaan... Wouldn't get anything from it anywaaaaay.... I asked Eel and he wouldn't give twooooo shits about some runaway Podgeans. Podgea is the laaaand of no laws after aaaall! Now go find a spacefish and head back to base. Mr. Crow wants a word with you."
*Gulp* D..do you have any idea what he might want boss?" Number 2 said with cold sweats dripping across his face.
Noooo clue buddy but knowing Crow it's gonna be some messed up shit involving that Don fucker. I heard his base is pretty near the planet you're on actually .... And how many times do I gotta tell you, my name's not boss it's Tom!!"
Y..yes Mr Tom! So what're you gonna do now?"
Dunno... Hooooow about searching fooooor that dog guy you mentioned? I aaaaam a cat guy after aaaaall.. and he .. interests me..."
The end...FOR NOW!!
