Marty swiftly finished off the flask of alcohol, and handed it back to Vids.

"Wait, so-- did she make you dress up as an animal too?"

He looked down at the bunny rabbit, still enthralled by it's presence.

"I said it'd be better not to ask. So I'm not going to give any answers to any further questions about that." Vids' attention was swiftly diverted as he partially listened to the other conversation.

"Wait, the world is on fire? And we have to go there? That seems awfully counterproductive to my "living to a ripe old age" philosophy. But, I signed up for something like this I guess...Jonas, it's your call."

"Yeah, but, now you've got me curious. I mean, did she make you do all the-- wait, the world is on FIRE? Why did nobody tell me?"

Marty averted his gaze from the blank stares.

"Because I wasn't listening, gotcha'."

The group boarded the rocket after much discussion, and shortly arrived in East Terra. The stories were now fact. Seeing to believe would make anyone else insane if they saw what the group saw. Forests nothing but embers, entire cities wiped off the map.

"How the...hell are we supposed to..."

"This is gonna take a while..." Cera groaned, taking a few steps forward. She looked around in all directions, hoping they'd see a small house, or something that had survived.

"Somehow Cera...I agree."

Jonas stepped forward on the ashes of whatever used to be here, feeling the floor weaken beneath him. Before he could scream, he was stuck in a huge trench at least 12ft down. A tunnel-like structure seemed to lead through the trench.

"Hey guys...maybe we should check this out. Oh, and by the way, nothin's broken."

"Ouch." Cera commented, sitting on the edge of the trench. She shuffled closer, until she jumped down, landing clumsily.
"Do you think there are people down here?" She asked the others, getting nervous.

"Well, if there wasn't, there are now." Rhanad said with a grin while landing. "Us."

He tried to see how far the tunnel went, but gave up after a minute constantly peaking into black.

"So uh, do you think this will lead us to something useful? It could be an old wine-basement for all we know."

Vids didn't like walking into perpetual darkness. He willed his double-spear into existance before following the others, at a distance.

"Not that I don't trust the fact we're walking into what could be a perpetual trap or something, but I'll follow you all at a distance, then we won't all die if something attacks us." He smirked, more out of habit than anything else.

As they were walking Zeke kicked a wine barrel, falling over with a loud crashing sound. The sound echoed down the darkness for a long time.

"I hope that didn't alert anything..." Vids sighed as he picked himself and his weapon up.

"I might join you there..."

Jonas called his Tonfa.

"Something doesn't quite add-"

Three deformed clown-like humanoids jumped from behind the trench wall, brandishing throwing knives in their fists.

"Oh brother..."

"I knew I didn't trust clowns for a reason!" Vids yelled as a throwing knife wizzed past his face, leaving a shallow but long cut all along his cheek.

Vids dived forward, hiding behind a barrel as the clowns began to run forward, the blood beginning to go down his face, but all Vids was focused on was killing the things threatening his friends. He charged forward to the nearest clown, his spear trailing behind him as he held it facing downwards to the ground.

The clown threw a knife at him, but it seemed to move slower than normal to Vids. He would have noticed but he was far too intent on killing the clown in front of him. He leapt to avoid the knife, brushing the top of his head on the low ceiling. As he fell he brought his spear down onto the clown's face. It made a sickening sound as it broke through the skull of the creature. Blood spurted out on Vids' face, causing him to pause, regardless of the fact that there were 2 other clowns.

"Fuck." He sighed as he wrenched the spear out of the clowns neck. Turning around to face the rest of the group and the other two clowns. He hefted his spear and threw it as hard as he could at the nearest clown, the one about to attack Cera.

A clown slowly approached Jonas, with knives between each finger.

"Come on then..."

The two circled each other slowly, occasionally nudging forward, trying to make the first move. The clown attacked, Jonas blocking the first 3 blows well with his Tonfa, but being knocked down by the 4th.

Vids wrenched the spear out of the back of the fallen second clown. Looking up at Cera as he did so. She looked somewhat shaken. "Cera, now is not the time for you to crash and burn. Please Keep it together. The group needs you."

He heard a shuffle close by, looking over his shoulder to find Jonas on the floor and a clown standing above him, the clown's knife slowly lowering towards Jonas' heart. "Excuse me." He muttered to Cera before running and shoulder-barging the clown off his friend. Extending his hand out in offer to Jonas "This ones yours." He winked.

Cera shook her head, trying to snap out of a stupor.
"I hate clowns." She squeaked, trying to concentrate on her weapon. Her hands open and closed a few times, before it finally appeared. She saw the last clown heading straight for Marty.
"Marty, watch out!"

Yah sorry for not replying Aloran :0 thanks for posting though, I don't mind =P

Jonas stood up, more and more clowns diving into the trench.

"Oh this is enough!"

Everyone stopped and turned to Jonas, even the clowns. He saw an opportunity.

"RUUUUUUN!"

"Fine with me!" Cera yelled, leaping over a Clown's body and speeding after Jonas.
"Come on guys!" She yelled back to the others.

"Wait-- what? Did I miss something?", Marty mumbled, following the group foward.

It seemed the alcohol had a greater effect on him than he previously thought.

"Did someone say clowns?"

"Why did nobody tell me Marty can't handle his alcohol?!" Vids yelled at the fleeing Jonas. He ran back, spear in his left hand before grabbing Marty's hand with his right. He practically dragged Marty through, following the sound of the footsteps of Jonas and Cera.

"Can't see a bloody thing in this place." He mumbled, still dragging the semi-drunk Marty behind him

"You tell me!" Rhanad replied to Vids while running. "We gotta keep up with them or we'll lose them in the dark. And I'm not in the mood to be fighting a bunch o' murderous clowns in pitch black!"

Why is my wrist tingling so much?
