Volume 3: Chapter 3

  The beeping of medical equipment buzzes through the tense atmosphere, a seemingly fatal wound comes out of ___’s head.

  Unnamed Doctor: I’m afraid there’s nothing to be done about this now…

  Falconer: Will ___ survive?

  Unnamed Doctor: He will, but he will suffer significant brain damage

  Juni: What do you mean doc?

  Unnamed Doctor: I’m afraid he’s nothing but a husk now

  ___: (opens his eyes), I’m…a husk? Is that my name…

  Suddenly, Husk awakens as Indica shakes him back to life.

  Falconer: Hey…you scared us man?

  Husk: Nothing…but a Husk…my name…is Husk…

  Indica: Yeah…your name is Husk

  Hudson: I didn’t think those Light Monsters would have screwed him up this badly

  Atlantic: So he’s losing grasp of his memories?

  Husk: I have…memories

  Falconer: You do

  Cosma: None of my magic could understand why Husk is losing even more of memories

  Husk: Memory…I have a memory…

  Viridian: I don’t think he’s forgetting

  Husk: I have a name…a name…that’s…Husk…no…that’s…not…my…name!

  Falconer: Huh!

  Indica: Wait…he’s actually remembering?

  Cosma: Holy heck!

  Suddenly, a massive beam of light shoots into The White World

  Viridian: Uh…where did that come from?

  Cosma: District 7, let’s go

  Atlantic: So did Husk always eat people?

  Go to District 7

  Once you get there, you’ll see a massive beam of light emanating from a bell inside a building

  Hudson: Is this a beacon or something?

  Cosma: No, it looks like a portal

  Viridian: So it’s time to go to The White World?

  Atlantic: Is that really wise, we’ll lose contact with Iseri and Xen?

  Indica: Well, there’s more of us? What do you we have to lose?

  Falconer: Our lives?

  Atlantic: Our sanity?

  Husk: Our memories??

  Hudson: Well, what choice do we have, let’s go

  Indica’s group enters the building to look at The Bell

  Hudson: Well, do we ring it?

  Atlantic: I volunteer

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  Atlantic wacks The Bell and it grows a pair of spider legs and crawls away

  Atlantic: What the fuck?

  Indica: Your first curse word!! I’m so proud

  Cosma: Well..she speaks for all of us

  Husk: GRAAH GET BACK HERE BELL (he runs after it)

  Cosma: Let’s run after him

  The Party then fights The Bell

  When you win, The Bell disintegrates into a portal the party can walk through

  Falconer: Well…out of everything I’ve experienced, that was by far the weirdest, and I watched Husk eat a dead body full of coins once

  Indica: Please…never speak again

  Husk: Coin..do not taste like flesh

  Hudson: It would be weird if coins did taste like flesh

  Viridian: Do you guys even hear yourselves

  Cosma: Screw yall I’m entering the portal now so this moment is over quicker

  Indica: Ok I’m coming too

  The Party enters The White World

  Cosma: This brings back…unpleasant memories

  Hudson: So…what exactly is this place

  Viridian: I’ve been before and I have no idea

  Hudson: Hopefully we don’t have to kill anymore Bell-Spider-Things

  Suddenly, every Bell in the vicinity, grew spider legs

  Atlantic: Hudson, take this as a sign the universe itself hates you

  Hudson: I think I will….

  Indica’s Group fights off all The Bell Monsters

  Indica: Well..where is Ohakla?

  Cosma: Maybe she’ll show up

  Suddenly, a shot of light appears in front of them, revealing Ophallacean

  Ophallacean: Those..people and (He sees Indica’s group), uhm who the hell are you?

  Cosma: Who are you?

  Ophallacean: Hey, I see dead Bells, I should kill you for this

  Atlantic: No thanks

  Husk: GRAAH DEATH

  Fight Ophallacean

  When you win

  Ophallacean: These HUMANS ae so annoying!!

  He runs away

  Viridian: Cosma…be a dear and take us to Ohakla

  Cosma: It would be an honor

  As Indica’s group travels further and further into The White World, we pan to Gladian’s Group who is now in District 15

  Olivia: So..when will we run into Ophallacean

  Ehl: I have no idea

  Vendil: Man…it’s taking forever

  Atoll: I would fire a dart in the dark and have a better chance of hitting that guy square in the balls

  Gladian: Well, uh, maybe I don’t make the best plans

  Beline: No kidding Mr Planner

  Zkn: Well, I liked it.

  Gladian: Thanks Zkn

  Zkn: No problem

  Vendil: Alright, well we’re too deep in now to call it quits, let’s find him

  Go through District 14

  When you reach District 15

  Zkn: Well, while we’re not doing anything important, hey Vendil?

  Vendil: What’s up man?

  Zkn: Can I speak to the Octopus

  Vendil: Are you referring to Gorbuch?

  Zkn: Yeah

  Vendil: Uhm..ok…

  Gorbuch begins using Vendil’s body as a vessel to talk

  Gorbuch: Hello Centennial, what do you wish to talk about

  Zkn: If you and Ehl (Points to Ehl) worked together, could you two create a time portal?

  Gorbuch: Theoretically, yes

  Zkn: Ok thanks?

  Gorbuch gives up control of Vendil back to him

  Vendil: Time Travel? You must be crazy Zkn?

  Ehl: What would you even want with that?

  Zkn: Well we are fighting an enemy who claims to be so far beyond our intellectual reach, we might need to resort to such measures in order to defeat her.

  Ehl: Huh, I never thought about it like that

  Atoll: I think..for some reason…I feel like that has worked before

  Beline: Well I don’t like it…

  Zkn: Well..it’s just a thought…feel free to disregard it

  Go through District 15

  Halfway Through, Okhala storms through the walls, looking wounded

  Okhala: DAMN MORTALS, THEY GOT ME GOOD?

  Okhala looks at Gladian’s Group

  Okhala: MORTALS, TREMBLE BEFORE OKHALA, THE MONSTROUS AND-

  Olivia: Tremble with fear?

  Atoll: Olivia can snark guys! She’s just like me for real

  Gladian: We’re a lively bunch aren’t we

  Beline: I’m honestly not a fan

  Okhala: STOP YOUR POSTURING AND-

  Zkn: And what? Listen to you?

  Olivia: (breaks into uncontrollable laughter)

  Okhala: I WILL KILL YOU

  Battle against Okahala

  When you win

  Okhala: I HATE YOU PLANET EARTH

  Okhala runs through walls in an attempt to escape

  Olivia: We give chase?

  Gladian: We give chase

  Gladian’s Group chases after Okhala

  She disappears and they are left at a broken bench with a floating bell over it

  Atoll: Ooh guys, I can..ring it

  Atoll fires a dart at The Bell, and The Bell grows Spider-Legs and leads around

  Gladian: Erm..what in the hell is this?

  Olivia: Bell Spiders, tricky little devils

  Beline: Why?

  Olivia: Well you see they-

  Zkn: She meant why do they exist

  Atoll: Uhm guys…

  Gladian: What is it Atoll

  Atoll: Do any of you have extra underwear? Bell Spiders are scary?

  Vendil: Dude…..

  Battle against The Bell Spider

  When you win, a portal opens from it’s corpse

  Gladian: Sick, we found an in

  Beline: Let’s get in there then, like in there right heckin now

  Gladian’s group walks through the portal
