Part 5
We'll begin this little story by checking upon the events until so far. As you know, the things that have happened so far, aren't the most serious ones. I mean, Eddsworld had suffered worse than that, really... REAL n00bs, REAL evil guys trying to destroy this forum, and not even that long ago, even one of the Eddsworld gang members broke out of the Aslym and wrecked havoc on the forums. Now those were the really terrible days. Not like this Leaves guy.. not yet, anyway.
Still, he had caught the attention of a the mods, which was why they were now all busy having a meeting at the place which Coordinates are unknown.
“Quite clever” you might think as you're reading this. “Meetings are good. In meetings problems get solved and stuff. They'll know what to do. Right?”
Well, we surely hope so. Its just that in their rush to try and understand the whole damn thing they forgot one little thing though. .. if every mod was having a meeting... Then who was watching after Eddsworld?
In a whole other village, a young girl sat at a round table, looking extremely tense in front of her. Her name was <insertnamehere.> Which was quite a weird name, I agree with you on that. That's why most of her friends called her Puddles, for a reason that is still unknown to the writer of this story. But they all did. Even the people who Puddles liked to call her friends, and were sitting together with her at exact the same table. Although maybe now they weren't much of a friend.. More enemies. Friendly enemies.
“,a spoon, three-hundred kitties, nine games, and the four penguins from Madagascar.” XblahX finally finished, and took a deep breath like he had just said one very long sentence with one breath. Which he had. “Pwoe. Did I forget anything?”
Some of the other members shook their head in surprise and admiration.
“Right. “ He grinned and looked at her. Sweat started to form on Puddles forehead, and she desperately tried to repeat all the things he just said in her head. It wasn't working.
“You're turn.”
It went quiet. Everyone stared at her, no, gazed at her with so much curiosity on their faces that it almost started to hurt. They were all wondering. Would she make it, would she not? There was even a small and high noise coming from Stephlovespiders, who couldn't control her excitement that well.
She took a deep breath. Very deep.
“I'm going on a holiday, and I take with meee...” Another deep breath. “ A backpack, a cellphone, a sleeping bag, food, cheese, bread, sugar, my hat, a game of chess, earrings, a book, my dog, my cat, a shark, a knife, two apples, a tank, a plane, a bomb, a how-to-survive-the-end-off-the-world for dummies book, a ninja blade, a shuriken, goggles, ducktape, a duck, aluminum foil, a grill, a plant, my favorite perfume, toxic, a box glove, a normal glove, a scarf, Scar, a lion, a baboon, a fish called Nemo, a fish called Wanda, Glue, a funny accent, a blue bird, a mockingbird, a gun, bullets, a rope, water, a spoon, three-hundred kitties, nine games, and the four penguins from Madagascar.”
She finished with a loud gasp for breath, and then some serious and nervous coughing. Did she made it? To be honest she thought she'd forgotten at least one or two of them.
Looking up from her coughing, she saw that some of the members had eyes as big as plates. Or with other words, they looked surprised beyond imagination. She started giggling a bit because of the funny looks on their faces, and also because it made her a bit scared, and quickly turned towards the person who she knew a bit better as Eddsemplary, who was just scanning a piece of paper with his eyes at the speed of sound. ( Light's just a little to fast.)
“Amazing...” he broke the silence that had fallen when Puddles had stopped coughing, everyone wondered if she had made it. Would she, as the first on Eddsworld, break the Magical record of remembering 49 words?
Well of course she would. Why else would he say “amazing?”
“They are correct.” Eddsemplary answered in a surprise, and Puddles saw him pushing his glasses a little further up on his nose. “ All of them. Not a single mistake.”
For a moment, their was complete silence. No one said a word, they all just slowly turned her head towards her. And she, with a head which was now red as a tomato, just grinned.
Then everyone went insane.
“Holy F- Puddles, that was amazing!”
“How did you managed to do that?”
“I bet she's cheating.”
Suddenly Puddles stood in the center of the attention, and everyone tried to congratulate her, or at least wanted to hell her how awesome she had been. And she just laughed friendly at them, explaining that she didn't cheat. Which she actually really didn't, don't worry. She could have of course, if she wanted too. She was not the first one to found out that there was a recording function on her cellphone. She could've just taped the thing and repeated that. ( although it might be a little suspicious, an extra voice) But that would've ruined the fun of the game. And what's a game without the fun?
For the record, the small village Puddles and her friends were staying at the moment, was the lovely little place known as “Forum games.” If you liked games... silly ones, serious ones, and even frustrating ones, this was the place to be. Even the streets that separated the many little houses here had to do something with games. The street itself looked like a giant “Game of the goose” bord, and some of the houses had a chess pattern, or were shaped in the form of a pawn. Yeah. You didn't have to be a genius to figure out where you were.
“Hold on!” Steph yelled in utter excitement. “I'll get the present!” She ran away and Puddles watched her go, raising an eyebrow in amusement. A present? Did they get her a present? Ahhw, they shouldn't have done that!
It took Steph a while, but when she came back, Puddles noticed that she was holding a huge cake. And then I mean huge. She couldn't even see Steph's face anymore as she was stumbling towards a table and put it down.
Puddles walked towards it, surprised and amused. “ Oh my god guys!” she started. “All of that because of this game? “
“Well no.” XblahX said, looking at her with a huge grin on his face. “I mean, yeah, its also for that of course, but mainly we baked this cake for your Birthday.”
She laughed. “Ohw that makes a lot more sense. I mean, you couldn't have known that I'd remember all the fifty words, could you. Thought it was a little weird.” She laughed. “But ohmygod guys, my birthday? You remember my birthday?”
“Kinda hard to forget it, after you'd only told us a hundred times.”
“What? That's not true! ”
“Okay, maybe 50. “ Eddsemplary grinned.” But he, be glad! Look at that, its a huge cake!”
Puddles laughed back and grabbed the closet person to hug, which, quite unlucky for her, was Steph, whose thoughts that maybe now would be a good idea to head for the other side of the room came just a split second to late.
“I know guys, I knoooow! “ She said with a high pitched voice, which for a change wasn't coming from terror or fear, but from pure excitement. “Thanks soooo much! I'd never thought you'd do anything for it!”
“Well, we ARE your friends after all. “ XblahX simply explained, and then started pointing at the small person Puddles was still hugging, now looking kinda blue. “ Although her friendship would be over quite soon, if you don't let go.”
With surprising Puddles quickly looked down, and saw that Steph indeed had become very blue already, maybe even purple.
“Can't... breath..”
“OH!” Her head became once more as red as a tomato, ans she quickly let go of Steph who started gasping for breath the second after.
“Ehhehehe. Sorry.” She said with a guilty smile.
Suddenly, the door this little lovely Pawn shaped house was having opened, showing a very stupid and pale looking boy. At first hand, it looked like nobody noticed him, they were all to busy having a piece of Puddles her big birthday cake, laughing, and having a good time. But then one of them went silent, and looked at the door post. Which triggered everyone, including Puddles to look that way.
The guy was giving her the creeps. He was pale, way to pale for his own good, and looked incredibly stupid. So stupid in fact, that he was actually drooling. And then his eyes.. his eyes looked at nowhere in particularly, but at the same time pierced through anything he saw.
To be honest, he looked a little like a zombie. He matched the description all right. Way to pale, drooling, black hair with stupid baseball cap on it, a black shirt that was covered in stains that could actually be blood, ragged jeans and sport shoes. Still, no one in the room even thought about that possibility. Why? Because it was absurd! There were no Zombies here, only in the roleplaysection. And they were all made up anyway.
And thinking that way just became their biggest mistake.
The boy continued to stay in the door. The room continued to be silent.
Which really frustrated Puddles at the moment, she just wanted to celebrate her little birthday party her friends had just given her. And by the looks of it, now some stupid, and then she meant really stupid n00b was coming to ruin it. Still, she didn't say anything. The guys eyes were hypnotizing, and creeping her out big time. So she kept quiet.
But then again, everyone did. Now nobody said anything. She took a quick look around, seeing if anyone was just maybe about to say anything. But although she crossed a lot of looks that looked her way, nobody looked like he or she was.
Sighing once, she decided that she had no other choice to speak up for herself then.
“Err..” she started. “ Hello there boy we don't know. Err.” she didn't wanted to sound too rude, so she actually had a hard time picking out words. “ We are kinda, like, having a party. Would you mind coming back later or something? Its.. Its a friend thing.”
It went silent again as she waited for answer. An answer hat never came. The boy just continued to drool in the door post, not moving a muscle. But at least Puddles words had broken the weird and awkward silence that everyone was felling, and some other members now also started to look funny at the pale young men.
“Uhm.. sir?” She heard another voice saying something, and noticed that it had been Step, who even was as brave to step an inch towards the boy. “Did.. uhm, lets just say its closed okay?” You could hear from her voice that she was pretty nervous, although you didn't really need her voice to figure that out. Puddles looked a bit different than Steph, seeing as she wasn't nervous, but was getting more and more frustrated by the fact that the boy didn't say a bloody thing.
“What's he doing?”
“Is he deaf or something?”
“More like dead.”
There sounded some nervous giggling after that.
But STILL not from the boy.
Puddles was just about to step forward and bash in the guys head with a baseball bat if he didn't leave, but before she even had the change to find a bat, someone other had apparently find the courage to walk towards the boy. And the brave person was XblahX.
“Ooookay now.” he started. “What's wrong with you? We just kindly ask you to leave alright?” He walked even further towards the boy, probably with the intention to gently force the him outside. “Its her birthday and we just wanna celebrate it with - “Suddenly, he stopped in the middle of a sentence and looked towards the mountain that Forum games was lying on.
“Holy mother of- what's that?”
Well, she wouldn't know, because she couldn't see anything from her. The windows in this pawn shaped house were huge, but seeing as they had closed the curtains to create a little more atmosphere here, you couldn't really look through them.
But whatever he was seeing, it apparently had shocked XblahX quite a bit, and it had made Puddles curious as hell. She walked towards the window, well actually more like running, and tore down the curtains in her curiosity.
And there she saw.... a town. Which was nothing special. The thing that was special though, was that that town hadn't been there a couple of hours ago. But it looked like it had been there forever.
“What's a town doing there? She asked to some other members who are now standing besides her.
“Isn't that were the roleplaysection should be?” she heard Eddsemplary besides her.
“Well, it was there a few hours ago. I think, anyway. Didn't really see it. But that was the whole point of it right? You can't see Roleplay. We would go slightly mad if we did.”
“I think, yeah.”
“So where did that town came from?”
“Well, I'd imagine someone thought it up.”
“But we shouldn't be able to see it right?” Puddles asked, knowing that that question was only repeating information, but she also knew that the writer of this story was kinda stuck now and tried to do anything to keep the story going.
“Didn't we established that already?”
Suddenly, a horrified , yet a bit girlish scream sounded from somewhere near the doorway, and it immediately gave Puddles an excuse to not answer that repeating question, but also to get an horrified look on her face.
The boy had moved.
Not that far though, the only real thing he had done was move his hands a little upwards, so that he could grab Xblahx's arm, and moved his head a little down so he could bite in it.
Yes, bite. XblahX had already pulled back his arm in terror, but the blood had already started to flow down his arm, now that it didn't have the veins to flow through anymore.
She let out a high scream when she realized why the boy had looked like he was dead, because he actually was, ( took them quite some time, didn't they?) It was a bloody zombie! And bloody it was! He had manages to bite through XblahX thick weather, and had ripped the skin clean off, now showing some of the underneath veins, and some of the torn muscles that actually were falling out of his arm. Xblah himself was gasping for breath and screaming, and was getting into a shock rather fast. He was not the only one screaming though.
“MY ARM! MY ARM!”
“OH MY GOD?!?”
“HE BITE ME!”
“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?”
“HE BITE ME!”
The zombie was still standing in the hallway, and was calmly chewing on a piece of XblahX's arm, blood dripping down his chin. He didn't really seemed to be bothered with the screaming around him really. He just stood there, and glanced at nothing in particular.
Puddles snapped.
I'm not going to describe precisely what she did, because that is, even against a zombie, extremely violent. The only thing I will mention is that she, while the others were stills screaming in terror, managed to get a real sharp thing, and while screaming “YOU RUINED MY PARTY!” got the zombie out of the house.
Well, not entirely. He had to leave his eyeball, a toe, some fingers and his entire left arm behind.
Now she just stood gasping against the wooden door, covered in blood the zombie had spilled, and tightly holding on to the really sharp thing, which was, she only noticed it now, actually nothing more than a giant Mikado stick.
When she quickly looked around her she saw that Xblah had already fallen to the ground, looking still very shocked, and already very pale. A puddle of blood has started to from around him, and he was still sceaming in terror, although it screams now had quiet down to a soft moaning. His eyes looked all over the room, and it looked like he was stepping in and out of consciousness.
Some other members were trying to patch him up, but she could see from their movements that they actually had no idea what they were doing. Which was understandable ofcourse. This was the Eddsworld forum, not the “United docters forums.”
Then there were some members who weren't really doing anything, except for standing at a table, his eyes as big as plates, and filled with tears. Some of them were softly sobbing, one of them was trying to reach the mods with his cellphone, and some were comforting the others.
Puddles her face softened. She knew she had only manages to drive the zombie out because she had been in pure rage, he had hurt one of her friends. Maybe not one of her dearest friends, but still! That doesn't matter! And the fact that he actually had ruin a birthday party for her also played a big part. And no, that wasn't selfish. She was happy that her friend had done that for here, extremely happy. And she wanted to show their her appreciation by making them all have a great time. But that was all over now wasn't it?
Her back lost the grib she had have on the front door, and she started to slip down. When she hit the ground she looked around, and softly started crying. And don't be like, “BooHoo, crybaby” just imagine you would just have seen a friend partly being eaten by a zombie. Even you would cry, I just now. Just from shock. Its a perfect normal reaction.
So although it might seem a little cliché, she sat now on the ground and was softly crying. Still, her mind just happened to have some space left for the more serious questions.
What the hell just happened?
How did the town appear in the place where the roleplaysection used to be?
Or maybe it was the roleplay section? It would explain where the zombies came from.. but since when did they appear outside of that section? They shouldn't be real!
If Puddles had looked outside at that moment, maybe, only maybe, would she have seen the cause of the resent events. A young boy with brown hair was at that precise moment standing upon one of the highest building in the town that had just appeared.
Zombies were crawling at the ground beneath him, but it didn't matter to him. No. To be honest, he even was a little mad at him for still being here. He had just freed the zombies from the limits of the people's imagination, so why were they still here? They were free.
He signed. Didn't matter. He was pleased enough that it had worked. Roleplay section was real now, due to his little....hm, changes in the background system. Quietly and evilly, he smiled. Soon he would be ready.
He got his old samsung42 out of his pocket, and quickly pushed some buttons. Fr a moment, a ultragreen line was appearing around him, moving further away from him like a ripple in water.
Then, he disappeared.
