Chapter 7: The Escape
All three of the friends screamed because they thought they were about to die. They kept screaming and freaking out until they found out what made the sound, which was a pig who had fallen through 50 floors of the building and landed at the bottom. It turns out this was the very same pig from before - the one who jumped off the lookout tower.
“Gosh darn it all I wanted to do was to die,” said the pig.
“Who are you?” asked human, Plagiarize. The other two were about to make these exact same noises from their mouths but Plagiarize had faster speaking reflexes. Both of them had already started saying it though, so they just cut themselves off after saying “who?”, making for a very awkward and unintended echo of what Plagiarize said.
“Ummm…” said the pig. “I kinda just wanted to die so I jumped off a lookout tower.”
“May I present a once in a lifetime offer to you?” asked Bird.
“Sure, what?”
“Join us on our quest and I promise it will be worth it,” said Bird. “Just listen to these positive reviews of our quest so far!”
“Very fun, can confirm,” said cat.
“Very fun, can confirm,” said human.
“Alright but I still want to die,” said the pig. “But what’s the quest about, and what are your names? Mine is Snorter.”
“Here is the story so far,” said Bird, who proceeded to tell the entire story so far. “And here’s our names,” and he explained the names of everyone.
“That is just so peculiar,” said Snorter.
Just then there was a loud bang followed by another bang. This second bang was a Bearmy spaceship crashing sideways into the side of the building the gang was in and landing on the ground mere meters from them. It was wrecked because the first bang was lightning hitting it.
“Hmm I sure hope that doesn’t explode,” said every member of the gang at once, and then the spaceship exploded. Luckily it didn’t hurt any of the main characters because they had plot armor, but it damaged the building and now it was starting to fall down.
“Oh no! It’s falling!” yelled Mushpuff over the sound of the building collapsing. “We must get out of here!”
Everything inside the building was on fire and the gang ran as fast as they could to the front door, dodging falling pieces of ceiling as they went.
“Ooh, fire!” said Snorter, stopping in front of a burning object. She tried to walk into it but was pulled away by Bird.
“Bird and Snorter!” yelled Mushpuff and Plagiarize from the door. “Get over here! The door is about to collapse!”
Bird picked up Snorter and threw her at the door but missed by about 5 meters and she smacked into the wall next to the door at a high enough velocity to go straight through.
“OH NOO!” yelled Bird, running to the door. “I’M NOT GONNA MAKE IT!” The door proceeded to collapse, but so did the entire wall it was connected to. It fell forwards but didn’t squash Mushpuff, Plagiarize, or Snorter because they were standing where holes in the wall were conveniently located. “OH WAIT I’M GONNA MAKE IT NOW!” said Bird. Then he made it, just in time to see the building collapse behind him.
The four friends looked around at the city. It was in ruins. The sky was dark and rain fell from it. Despite this, many buildings were on fire. Lightning was crashing all around them. They had to struggle against the strong wind to stay in one spot. Bearmy ships were flying all over the place, sprinkling explosives on the ground, but many of them were crashing because of the lightning.
Luckily for the gang, the ship garage where they had parked their ship was blast resistant so no ships could be damaged. Many of the ships inside were escaping (or rather the people whom the ships belonged to were escaping, not the ships themselves).
“We gotta get to the ship garage, yo!” yelled Bird over the sound of rain, explosions, and thunder. The gang then ran to the ship garage in a very intense running scene. Except nobody was chasing them, so it wasn’t very intense. They made it to the garage without any injuries or anything going wrong whatsoever. Except for the fact that Plagiarize was missing an arm.
“Um guys???” said Plagiarize.
“No time to speak!” said Bird. “We gotta get to the ship before something explodes or something!”
The gang made their way back to where their spaceship was parked and Plagiarize was bleeding all over the place as they ran. When they all got inside and Bird powered up the ship, Mushpuff and Snorter noticed Plagiarize’s missing arm.
“Oh golly!” said Mushpuff. “You’re kinda missing something there.”
“I’m aware,” said Plagiarize. “I think we need a doctor.” Then Plagiarize decided to faint.
“Oh no he has fainted!” said Snorter. “Now what?”
“What’s going on back there???” yelled Bird from the control room as he activated the hyper engines.
“Plagiarize lost an arm!” yelled Mushpuff back. “There’s blood all over the place!!”
“BLOOD??? Oh no I can’t handle the thought of blood!” Bird then fainted.
