Revive the Dogg
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 16439
|
the 13 year-old boy gave Fred a condescending look. He then turned to his
wood-nymph.
"Can you believe this? I give him the chance to have anything he wants,
and he asks for his stupid dog! The fool!" The nymph started to laugh. "I
could give you a new dog. Any type you want! And if it's companionship
you desire, I could just as easily create for you a female. Like the one
in the choice you didn't choose in one of the earlier episodes? You know,
the one 'chained to the wall'. Don't ask me how I know these things, I
just do." and the boy brushed his shoulder in that arrogant gesture Fred
really hates.
Fred started to tell him that the dog is special...
"Oh, I KNOW" the boy interrupted sarcastically. "All dogs are special.
Let me guess, you found him as you entered the cave, and now you have a
special bond..."
Fred started to tell him "yea, but..."
"But nothing!"
Fred finally managed to insert into the conversation that the dog is a
teenager.
"And how do you know this, you foolishment?!" And the 13-year old boy
began to stroke his non-existent peach fuzz.
Fred tells him about the system of yes and no barks.
"Pure postulation! Now I am bored with this idle chit chat!" And Fred
suddenly found himself being levitated into the air. Fred now found
himself roughly a foot above the ground.
"I'll tell you what" the boy saaid "If you can survive my challenge, I'll
ressurect your dog and I won't kill you!"
Fred is suddenly dropped to the ground, then he heard a whirring noise
in the background.
"You must find way to avoid my balls of doom!...Well, what are you
waiting for?"
Fred turned and ran down a dark tunnel. It only took a couple of seconds
to feel a sharp, speeding object nipping at his neck. He tripped and
probably would've gotten his head chopped off, except he was able to find
a handful of dust to throw up in the air. The ball of doom took a second
to regain it's bearings. This gave Fred enough time to start running
again.
He knew that damn shield of his was slowing him down too much! Wait a
minute, a shield...Hmmm....hold on. Give Fred a second, he'll get it. A
shield? Well...no, maybe...no, then...Fred figured it out! He grabbed his
shield and used it to cover the back of his head. The ball rammed it, and
while it definetly was jarring, the shield held. Fred was starting to
think maybe he was in the clear.
He heard the ball charge up, and then suddenly the shield was struck with
volts of electric current! He fell down on top of his shield and suddenly
was sliding down the trail, which suddenly dropped off into a steep
gradient.
Fred was flying, going even faster than the ball. He thought to himself
that this may work, as long as this path went a considerable distance. It
didn't.
The path led to a dark room where the path formed a ramp that ended near
the entrance. On the other side of the room was another opening. Fred
went flying off the ramp and just made it into the other side. But the
path was now at such a steep gradient that Fred knew that if he couldn't
find something to hold onto quick, he would fall out. He grasped at the
wall in vain: And found a handhold. It was near invisible to the eye, but
Fred managed to pull himself into a small hole in the wall.
He watched as the ball flew by him. He hoped that maybe it wouldn't be
able to find him. But he heard it stop, so he knew it was intelligent
enough to know he couldn't have gotten that far.
Knowing he was as good as dead where he was, he did the only reasonable
thing. He stepped back towards the dark room, and jumped into the
darkness, and presumably his doom. He was thinking that since this was a
fantasy story, the boy would tell him that he did a good job at realizing
the only escape and Fred would live happily ever after.
Instead, the 13 year-old boy's head materialized next to Fred's falling
frame.
"You fool! You signed your death warrant!" And after a few seconds of
thought he added "but I guess you did pass my challenge, although in the
most inane way possible! Here's your dog, see how much it helps you!" and
the 13 year-old boy's head disappeared and Velus appeared in Fred's arms.
Velus licks Fred's face then looks down and starts to whimper.
Suddenly,....
