Chapter 5 - What is Fish times Fish

The hell continued, the tunnel was never ending. All he could do is keep going forward. Griffin was like a pig continuously turning over and over, slowly roasting. Yes, Griffin had his barrier for protection but the heat would be unavoidable. An umbrella that only blocked the direct sunlight of the sun, but the intensity still present wrapped around your body like a tamale.

Griffin grows more irritated each passing second, he takes out a kunai, launches it as far as he possibly can, hitting a wall. Griffin teleports to the location. Luckily enough it hit a floating black door, with a flame outline. The door has red symbols tattooed. ?X?

"Shit. Dungeons that have classified rooms are typically a pain in the ass to deal with. I want to hurry back and beat Lily and Cole in Super Smash Sisters. Especially Lily," said Griffin.

Griffin opens the door. It was a vortex that sucked him inside.

Griffin's eyes finally awakened, he was sitting down. He tried to move his arms, locked away, a metal bar wrapped up tight against his body. Eyes scanning the room, it was dark. Five seconds went by, the lights erupted on, temporarily blinding him. He glanced around the room, he was stuck in a classroom. To be more exact, it appeared to be a kindergarten classroom. The room had some sort of alphabet coiling around the top of the room. This wa-

"NOOOOOOOOOO get me outta here. Please just kill me, you win. I don't want to clear this dungeon badly enough to be back in class. I already hate it enough," Griffin yelled out, talking to himself. Griffin tries to shake out of his cuffs but it was futile, he was stuck.

This room had desks all around him, with other people trapped in seats as well. There was an old fart, a kid with boogers hanging out his nose, and a monster with a fish on his head or a fish head. Griffin already hated all of them, but the old fart was three desks down his right. He decided to talk to the old fart.

"Yo," said Griffin

"Hey, how did you get here," said Griffin again.....

"Hey you old zombie, I am talking to you! When someone is talking to you, you respond.. You got that!" Griffin was angry that he was being ignored, the old fart paid no attention to him. The old fart turned to look at him.

"Whoa, don't scare me like that young pup. Gonna give me a heart attack, someone my age could die from a scare like that," said the Old Fart.

"Oh I'll give you something to be scared about," replied Griffin, while trying to shake himself free from his restraints. It didn't work, instead he looked like he was electrocuted by a million volts.

"Waaaa did you say, my hearing aight what it used to be pup," said Old Fart. The old man was talking in slow motion.

"I'm gonna hurt that damn fart. Stop calling me pup!" Griffin directed his frustration at the Old Fart. The kid began to panic, screaming for his mother and father. Wailing around and crying looking for anyone that resembled his parents. Anyone that looked somewhat familiar, someone to latch on to. The kid faced his direction to Griffin, a glint of hope brighten in his eyes.

"Someone please shut this kid up? Hey, fish face anything you gotta add to this shit show," said Griffin

The grandpa and kid told Griffin their names but he already forgot them so they will be known as Old Fart and Kid. The Fish Face was seated three seats in front of Griffin. He turns his head around in a one eighty degree, looking Griffin right in his eyes. His body was still facing forward, they a neck of an owl.(What is this guy's problem, he must think he is better than me because he can turn his head around.) A brief moment has passed, the Fish's face turned orange. It was blue before he turned to look at Griffin. The Fish Face threw up in front of everyone, more importantly right at Griffin's feet. A green chunky waterfall fell from its mouth, sliding down to Griffin's toes. His feet were covered in green. Fish face turned his head back facing forward but in the direction to complete a three sixty degree turn. The world shook.

"I will rip that fish off your body," said Griffin in a serious manner. Griffin was releasing a serious amount of energy. Creating tremors all around their environment.

"Ewww what is that," said the kid

The vomit that came out of the fish mutated into three kittens. The kittens cuddling with Griffin's legs. Griffin kicked one of the kittens, but it did not do any damage. The kitten just absorbed the damage and continued to purr.

"How, how beautiful is that young pup? It's.... it's..... huh I forgot," said the Old Fart scratching the side of his bald head. The Old Fart had a stupid smile, also red from embarrassment.

"How the hell do you forget kitten, you old bastard, What are you blushing for?!" said Griffin

"What did you sayyyy?" The Old Fart lifted up his hand placed by his ear in a way to indicate for him to speak up. Griffin ignores him, closes his eyes and shakes his head.

"Ladies and gentlemen or gentlefish? Are you ready for tonight's show?" The voice coming from all around, it almost felt like it wasn't in the same room. The walls around the room burst into flames, they were in the center of a boiling stadium. It was a burning stadium, with humanoid skeletons on fire in the stands watching and enjoying the show. The rest of the arena also engulfed in flames.

"Please just let me go? You can have the other three but let me live instead," said the Kid.

"Show?" Griffin said in a calm manner not fazed at all.

"What did he say?" The Old Fart says in a raspy voice as he starts to cough.

The Fish face turns around in Griffin's direction, locking eyes with him. The fish spits on the ground right by Griffin's feet. The Fish smiles, turns around humming.(I'm going to KILL that hideous thing)

"Looks like I'm eating healthy tonight, Oiii! Any skeletons want to eat sushi?" Griffin scans around the stadium of potential threats. It was a roman coliseum theatre, a gladiator showdown. A fight was about to go down.

"I wouldn't recommend fighting amongst each other. I also don't think that thing would taste very good. Also fighting is prohibited in this game," said the announcer flying in a fish tank but it was a duck inside talking.

"Prohibited? Come down here and find out," yelled Griffin.

"Because you're locked up and can't even lift your arms. Are you an idiot?" The kid talking to Griffin.

"huh?" The Old Fart confused on what is going on.

"This is already top five worst dungeons I have ever been in. Why do I feel, I have been saying that a lot recently? What is going on lately? My luck is awful. I guess this is what I deserve," said Griffin

"For someone who is just an extra on my show, you sure talk a lot.(Did this duck call me an extra, I'm the damn protagonist here!) Anyways it's time for me to announce the rules of our game. You four contestants will answer four trivia questions. Each of you will have to answer one question. If you answer all four correctly, I will take you directly to the boss room. Each question missed is another room you will have to go too before the boss welcomes you. Each room is deadlier than the next.," said the Duck

"I have to rely on these clowns," said Griffin looking unsatisfied at his new teammates.

"So work together as a team and come up with the correct answer, so who will be answering the first question?" The flying duck that's also inside a fish bowl filled with lava, swimming around excited in his bowl. The cheers of the crowd swarming around the theatre. A skeleton threw a bone at Griffin's head.

"Who was that?!"

A section of skeletons look away and whistle playing innocent. They couldn't whistle it was more of a grinding sound of dry rocks.

"Lemme go first, I got this," said the Kid, raising his hand, volunteering himself.(Look at this Catness wannabe. You're not a hero unlike the teenage girl that captivated our hearts. This fraud is gonna mess everything up.)

"Oh kay, I am tonight's host, Darry. Let's get right into the first question, I wish you all the best of luck to fail hwe hwe hwe, Ok, what is fish times fish? Is it a.) three fish b.) salmon c.) bear d.) shark? You have ninety seconds to answer the question," said Darry. A floating television screen flew in front of the four. The question and the answers displayed on the screen.

"Its D! Shark!" Griffin screams out to the others.(I got this!)

"You really are dumb? How could it possibly be a shark? The question involves a fish, what do you think geezer?" The Kid asking the Old Fart.

"Well If you get one fish and multiply it by another fish, It has to come together and get even stronger and become a shark. Duh," said Griffin. The Kid sighs and facepalmed.

"Huh, what did you saaaaay?"

"WHAT IS FISH TIMES FISH?"

"Ahh that"s easy, it"s takoyaki," replied the Old Fart. A big goofy smile appears on his face.

"We're doomed," said Griffin and the Kid.

"There is approximately twenty seconds left on the clock," said Darry

"The answer is salmon!" The kid shouted back.

"Hey what are you doing?" Griffin complaining to the Kid for rushing into an answer.(What does that little shit think he is doing?)

"Is that your final answer?" said Darry

Fish Head turns his head towards Griffin and spits at his face. Griffin moves the ball of saliva with his mind, sending it in towards Darry. The saliva landed on the fish bowl. BING. It made a satisfying noise. Griffin, Fish Face, and the Kid hollered laughing at the duck. Some of the skeletons were also laughing at the duck. The saliva evaporated into the air.

"I'll take that as a yes, b.) salmon," said Darry.

"Whatever, we can allow a missed question, we can even miss all the questions. I just want to leave this flaming pit of ass already," said Griffin

"The answer is.... CORRECT!" Darry spinning in his fish bowl. The crowd goes wild, the skeletons jumping up and down. Some of the skeletons lose form and crumple but they put themselves back together.

"I hate this place so much," said Griffin.
