Chapter 9: into the dark world
Vanellope felt a light but stunt tap on her right shoulder waking her up from her sleep.
She decides to ignore it and turns to her right side to try and go back to sleep.
But instead of stopping the tap and continuing on her other shoulder forcing her to wake up and open her eyes to see who it was.
And to her surprise, it was Zoro.
He was standing over top of her with a worried look on his face.
"Hey kid you alright", he started asking her in concern.
Vanellope started to lean up and rub her eyes"Yeah what happened"?, she asked curiously.
He took a couple steps forward before answering,"Well good news is we survived our little fun vacation trip", he said reassuringly.
"That's good, wait then what's the bad news", she asked as she brushed herself off.
"The bad news is that our destination isn't as colorful and pleasant", he said as he stopped to look at the area.
Vanellope looked up in confusion as to what he was talking about.
But when she did she was filled to the brim with fear.
Because what she saw next was horrifying.
The area they were in was surrounded by giant cracks in the ground that were filled with fiery lava.
The trees that also surrounded them looked dried out and burnt to a crisp from the fires.
And worst of all the skies were filled with dark gray clouds that shot out purple lightning.
If this place wasn't hell, then it was damn near it because it looked absolutely terrifying.
Vanellope looked on in shock as she started to step towards Zoro,"W-What is this place?", She carefully asked him.
Zoro (who was still making short but efficient glances at their surroundings) turned to her with a serious look on his face,"Don't know, this is the first thing I saw when we got shot out of that pipe", he said as he pointed to the green pipe behind them.
It was covered with dark black vines that came from the tree above it.
"So that's what that guy used to bring us here huh",she asked.
"Yeah, guess he didn't care much for sanitary traveling, I mean I personally would've rather flown here", he responded sarcastically.
She sighed before turning to face the distance,"Please tell me that this is a part of my imagination and that we didn't die", she asked in a worry.
Zoro shook his head,"Fraid not, all this is very real minus the dying part", he said before grabbing a stick and throwing it in one of the magma pits,"And very hot too".
After a few seconds of looking out into the distance, Vanellope began to notice something,"Hey wait Zoro where's the Sunny".
They both turned around towards the pipe and saw that the ship wasn't with them.
They too started to look around a little bit to see if it had just been shot out of the pipe faster and farther away than they were.
But after a couple of minutes of searching they found out that the ship wasn't anywhere in sight.
Wherever it was it wasn't with them.
It must not have gone through the pipe with them when they arrived.
Zoro Grunted,"AH GOD DAMN IT, It must've gone through another pipe before we got in here,"SHIT"!!!, he shouted in frustration.
Vanellope started to back away slowly in fear of what she saw.
They were not only lost in another world, but he didn't even have a ship to help get them out of this horrible situation.
She had never seen or been in anything like this before, especially not in person.
She has always hoped to go on an adventure with the Strawhat pirates, but never an adventure like this.
She was completely engulfed in fear and couldn't help but panic a tiny bit.
While she was going through that, Zoro did his best to keep calm and started looking around a tiny bit trying to find out where they were.
But unfortunately for him, he was having a hard time getting that done especially in a place like this.
He'd been in plenty of situations where he was separated from the group sure but this one a tiny bit different.
He'd never been sent through a multi dimensional portal before much less with a little girl that he'd barely known a day.
Worse thing was that this time they knew there was someone out there strong enough to come after them.
Wait, that just reminded him of something…..
LUFFY
Zoro pulled out his transponder snail (which looked exactly like him but was a snail with green skin).
He brought it up to his face and began to speak into it,"Captan you there".
There was no response, only the sound of static.
'
He tried again,"Captan do you read", still nothing but static.
He tried once more,"Captain we just got outta our pipe where are you", nothing.
He grunted in frustration and threw the snail back into his pocket.
Vanellope (who had soon calmed down and got herself together) saw this and walked back over to him,"Please tell me that it's not more bad news".
Zoro slowly turned to her,"Sorry to disappoint, like I feared, my snail isn't able to connect to Luffy's or any other snail of the crew".
Vanellope rows her shoulders in confusion,"So what does that mean".
Zoro quickly turned to her,"Transponder snails are supposed to be able to telepathically connect and respond to each other no matter how far they are or where they are in our world", he started to explain.
She responded to that by giving him a confused stare,"And so what is it broken"?, she asked as she stepped forward.
He slapped his hand on his head in frustration,"The fact that I can't connect to the others doesn't mean that they're broken in fact it they're perfectly fine", he said before walking closer to her and looking out into the distance,"It means that were not in the our world anymore, hence why the snails aren't connecting to each other and that Luffy isn't here with us otherwise I'd be able to contact him".
"Then if he isn't here with us, then where could he be?"she asked desperately.
Zoro shrugged his shoulders,"He must've also gone to a different world too", He suggested.
Just then a loud thundering sound erupted in the distance causing both Zoro and Vanellope to jump.
This place wasn't exactly giving off a homey feeling and the lava and lightning wasn't helping.
Zoro turned to face the pipe that they just came out of.
If it was able to travel them from their world to this world, or maybe if they go back through the opposite will happen.
He wasn't fully sure that this would work but honestly it was a lot better. Have a plan and just sit there and stay in a world that they knew wasn't safe.
not to mention the fact that the guy who said he was trying to kidnap Luffy was probably from this world and was trying to bring him back here.
If anything, there were probably a lot more people like him in this world.
As much as Zoro would love to get into a new fight and push himself, he also had this little girl that was with him, and therefore under his protection.
If he wasn't careful in that fight, he would risk getting her killed.
Hence why his original plan was to gather the rest of the crew, and hopefully five off this new enemy in a safer place.
But unfortunately, that plan fell through and now they were in this situation.
He turned to Vanellope and tapped her on her shoulder to get her attention.
She quickly turned to him wondering what he wanted.
"Alright kid I think we've spent more than enough time here, come on let's see we can use this pipe to help us find Luffy and hopefully the ship", he said.
Vanellope nodded and started to speed walk over to the pipe.
Zoro started to follow her.
As much as he didn't really trust the pipes, he knew that it was at least a tiny bit safer than the world they were in.
Especially if there was a possibility that there were more people like the white suited man waiting for them in this world.
Their only option was to find Luffy and go back home where they could find the rest of the crew and think of a plan on how to handle this situation.
They were right in front of the pipe when Zoro suddenly had a strange feeling in his gut.
He started taking quick glances of his surroundings.
He couldn't tell what it was, but he felt as if something was watching them.
No, not just watching…..
Following them….
Tracking them...
It was like all eyes were on the two of them as they made their way back to the pipe.
After a few more seconds of glancing around he was finally able to find where the feeling was coming from.
The pipe….
He quickly moved in front of Vanellope and used his left hand to block her from the pipe.
Vanellope looked up at him in confusion," what's wrong", she asked worriedly.
Zoro made himself and her back up slowly," We're not alone", before placing his hand on his sword handle.
He didn't know who it was, if it was the guy in the whit suit or someone probably more dangerous.
Either way, he wasn't about to take the chance nor get out of there without a fight.
They took a few more steps back before he yelled out,"YOU BETTER BRING YOUR ASS OUT HERE NOW OR I'M GONNA COME OVER THERE AND CHOP YOU TO BITS".
He then stopped after taking a few more steps, wanting to wait for the assailant to present themselves.
After a few moments of waiting, he finally spotted something coming from inside the pipe.
From the inside of the pipe, they both saw two bright yellow eyes appear out of the dark.
Seeing this made both of them tense up and on guard.
The brightness of the eyes slowly grew as the figure began to creep closer toward them, and out of the pipe.
they stood there, silently, as the figure began to reveal itself to them.
The figure suddenly hopped out of the pipe and landed right in front of them.
And what they saw next had them both shocked and confused.
It wasn't a giant beast...
Or the guy in the white suit…
And it definitely wasn't human…..
Instead it was something a lot smaller
And a lot greener.
What came out if the pipe was a fairly small creature with big pointy ears and had a frog-like body.
Both Zoro and Vanellope both looked at it with confused faces as it revealed itself.
They originally thought that this thing would've been like a dangerous monster or something.
But instead they encountered what this little guy was.
And it was exactly their size either.
Though it may have been a tiny bit bigger than Vanellope, she surprisingly wasn't as scared of it as she thought she'd be.
Honestly fear wasn't even the word to describe their current feelings they had with this situation.
If anything they felt more confusion about the creature than fear.
It came out crawling on all fours and slowly made its way towards them.
Zoro let go of his sword sheath and began walking up to the pointy eared critter,"Hey there little guy", he said in a friendly tone,"You must be a resident of this lovely…..", Takes a quick look at the terrifying world before looking back,"ish-ly ugly neighborhood".
The little critter simply growled in response to Zoro's claim.
Zoro nodded before continuing,"Cool, cause you see we aren't really from here, we just got out of a quick little fight with a bad guy that resulted in him sending us here through that pipe which you so happen to be…. crawling in front of", he said, pointing to the green pipe.
This made the critter turn to face it for a second or two before quickly turning back to face them with a snarl before slowly saying,"Waka Chaka", in response.
Zoro tilted his head to the side in confusion.
What the hell did that thing just say?
And was it something good or bad?
He was used to seeing different creatures, but this was definitely different.
At least the other creatures were able to speak his language
"Waka Chaka", the critter repeated, this time crawling a tiny bit closer to them.
It was trying to tell him something, he did know what it was but it was something.
"Waka Chaka", it said once again.
Zoro turned to Vanellope to see what she thought about this.
But if anything she knew a lot less about this thing than he did so she responded but shrugging her shoulders.
This was definitely something that she had never seen or heard of before.
Whatever this thing was saying it definitely didn't sound like anything he ever heard before
He then quickly reached back and grabbed Vanellope by the arm,"Ok so I'll take that as an I understand, So if you don't mind just get on out your hair and be on our way, if that's alright with you".
The two of them began to make their way towards us when the little green suddenly charged and lunged right at them, claws and teeth out screaming,"WAKA CHAKA"!!!!!
It was charging closer and closer to them.
Preparing to attack and tear them apart.
Vanellop suddenly gasps in shock causing her to stumble back as it was coming right for them and she didn't have time to react.
Zoro thankfully didn't have that same problem.
He saw the critter coming at them before he even started to charge at them.
As soon as the critter was close enough he grabbed his sword and quickly pushed Vanellope out of the way before slightly pulling it from its sheath.
He then charged at the critter as fast as he could (still holding his sword in his sheath) in the same direction the critter was coming towards him.
It wasn't until he was a foot away from it when he finally drew his sword and used it to slice the critter in half from head to toe.
Zoro then stopped as his sword sliced through the critter in a strong stance before slowly slipping the sword back into its sheath.
Once he did that it took a second or two before its body split into two halves and fell lifelessly onto the ground.
Zoro turned to look down at its lifeless sliced up corpse.
Some of its limbs were still twitching as it laid there drenched in what looks like its own green gooey blood.
It was dead and gone just like that it was out of their hair.
Vanellope stood there with a shocked expression on her face as she looked down at the now dead critter.
Everything that just happened next looked as if it was in slow motion, or at least to Zoro it did.
To her it looked as if Zoro had used super speed to run right past the critter without even drawing his sword.
Yet somehow he was able to slice that thing clean in half with little to no effort.
She barely had time to process that through her head.
It was almost terrifying once you noticed just how strong the vice captain of the straw hat pirates really is.
If he could do something like that without using an ounce of his strength imagine what he would be capable of at full strength.
This was completely and utterly a shock to her, considering how much she knew about Zoro and his strength , but to see it in action was incredible
Zoro at the end clapped his hands,"Welp take notes kid cause now we know that "Waka Chaka" means war in their language".
Vanellope looked up at him,"Well which one means we come in peace ,"Chaka Waka"?, she asked in a sarcastic tone before picking up a chard stick off the ground and poking its corps curiously,"What is this thing anyway".
Zoro responded by shrugging his shoulders,"Don't know and at this point I dont care to sit around this place and find out, lest move-", he started before he had that feeling again.
The feeling of being watched….
He looked up and noticed something ominous inthe distance.
They almost looked like a bunch of lights that were growing bright by the minute.
He would've played them off as the flames from the lava but something was different about these lights.
He walked away from the corpse and used his observation to give him a closer look.
When he'd finally got a better look at what was out there in the distance.
And when he did he started to tense up.
Vanellope stopped poking the corpse and walked over to see what Zoro was looking at.
And that's when she too saw it.
It was more green looking critters, a lot more.
They were all quickly crawling up to where the two were standing.
Looking just as mean and snarly as the last one they had just encountered.
It wasn't until after a few moments of looking around that Zoro noticed that they weren't just coming from that one direction.
They were coming from all different types of directions.
"Oh shit", he said as they started to come into view.
The more they came to view the more visible the hordes around them were too.
This sight made Vanellope take a step back and get behind Zoro as they came closer to the two of them.
Zoro decided to start backing up towards the portal quickly as the green critters started to close in on them.
Once they were all gathered up to the two of them the critters stopped and started snarling right at them.
Almost looking as if they were about to make their move.
Zoro (while still keeping Vanellope behind him) started to take a small half-step forward,"Well look at this, and they say hospitality is only a human thing, we'll look thanks again for the generous welcome, wish we coulda stayed longer but we have to go", he said before making his what towards the pipe and ushering Vanellope to come along.
Just as they were a few feet away from the pipe, one of the green critters spotted they're dead comrade (or at least one half) that Zoro had killed earlier. And ran over to him in a panic, another one did the same.
They ran over and started tapping him on his body, trying to wake him up.
But no matter how much they tapped, their fallen comrade showed no sign of movement.
And it was the same thing for the other critters as well.
They put the pieces together in their heads about what happened there before suddenly looking towards Zoro and Vanellope (who were quick pacing towards the green pipe while looking back at them) and snarls angrily at them before shouting,"WAKA CHAKA"!!!!!
And just like that, all of the critters start rushing towards them in anger and determination to kill them.
Zoro and Vanellope looked back to see all of the little creatures coming right for them.
"Ok time to go", Zoro said quickly as he ushered her to the pipe.
They were just a few feet away from it when suddenly some of those critters started crawling over the green pipe and cutting them off.
Zoro and Vanellope watched in horror as their only way out was now blocked off to them.
Zoro then began to groan in frustration,"OH GOD DAMMIT"!!!!
This was bad…
They were now trapped and surrounded by an army of green critters.
And now the only way out is currently being guarded.
This was definitely a tough situation for the two of them alright.
Zoro could handle himself just fine in this situation but he couldn't say the same for Vanellope.
Though she did have some experience with devil fruit powers, she was nowhere near as experienced in battle as he was if she stayed with him, she would only slow him down while he was trying to protect her.
Vanellope turned to him in a panic,"NOW WHAT DO WE DO".
He didn't respond…
He was too busy thinking of his own plan to get them out of this annoying situation.
He needed to find a place where she could highball he fended these things off but where.
Zoro looked around with quick glances, trying to find anything he could have her use as a hiding spot but nothing out there looked good or safe enough.
After a couple of moments of looking around, he finally spotted something out into the distance.
And thankfully for them, it was located right in between a massive gap in the critters defense, that if timed right you could get there.
And after using a bit more observation, he finally got a clear enough view on what it looked like.
It was a dark and almost ruined, looking castle, surrounded by a lake of lava.
It wasn't too far away from them and if Zorro could just keep them distracted Vabellope could get over to the castle and wait there till he was finished with them.
That was the best choice of action for them to go with right now. He turned to her and whispered,"When I say so you're gonna run over to that castle, barricade it, and hide somewhere inside until I'm finished with all these guys, ok".
Vanellope looked over to the castle for a second before looking back at Zoro with worry,"But what about you, you're not gonna be able to take em all down yourself, and plus I can help you-", Zoro put his hand up, interrupting her.
"Out of the question, we promised Curly we keep you outta trouble", Zoro said with a serious look on his face.
Vanellope responded by pointing at the literal army of green creatures surrounded with a blank look on her face,"Little late for that don't you think, plus with my glitch I can help you out-".
"NO, kid look as useful as you powers are, they also have limitations, and going up against an army like this, small or big, is gonna wear you out eventually especially if you haven't gone on as many adventures as me, sorry kid but you know this is the best course of action, alright", he said in a stern tone.
She bowed her head down in disappointment but nodded her head reluctantly.
She wanted the chance to prove how much pirate potential she had, even if she was still a kid.
But she also didn't want to slow Zoro down in any way.
So she would have to try and prove herself later when they were in another less dangerous situation.
She got herself into a running position, ready to run off when the time was right.
Zoro placed both of his hands onto two of his swords and he readied himself into a fighting position,"Ready",he said slowly.
The critters were coming in close as Zoro continued," And".
The critters were just a few feet away from them.
Vanellope prepared herself for what was about to happen next.
"GO"!!!he shouted to Vanellope as he jumped up into the air and used his sword swinging motion to once again create air blades through the slashes of his swords that went in every direction.
The slashes began to attack the critters that were coming right for them.
The attack killed them or cut them up on impact.
By doing this, it gave Vanellope time to glitch herself in the direction of the ruined castle as fast as she could.
Some of the critters that weren't hit by the air slashes saw this and almost immediately ran after her.
Zoro spotted them following her and made his way back to the ground.
Once he was back on the ground he spun himself around in a circle, starting his famous DRAGON TWISTER, a twister that trapped a lot of the critters inside and cut through their bodies as they spun around like a tornado.
This attack caught some of the critters and swooped them up away from Vanellope.
This gave her more time to make it to the castle.
So saw that she was out of the way and grinned widely before turning to the other critters that were coming towards him and charged back into battle.
He had full intent on buying her time to get her out of harm's way.
and he wouldn't have much difficulty doing that, considering the weak opponents that were in front of him.
He just needs to slice up a good amount of them in order to scare them off.
He'd be done in no time and would be able to regroup with her and find Luffy.
While that fight was going on, Vanellope was making her way to the castle.
She was able to see it even through all of the charred trees that surrounded them.
She was running through the dark forest as fast as possible while trying her best not to trip on anything that would slow her down.
She was still making her way through the forest when all of a sudden she saw something she was coming up to and a hand reached out from the ground and tried to grab her leg.
She glitched over it and stopped a few feet away before turning to look at the hand to see who it was.
It was one of the green critter's from an earlier hand that was coming out of the ground.
A second or two passed before it lunged up from underneath the ground and ran right for her.
She instantly glitched herself to a tree to get farther away from it.
But once she was up onto the tree she spotted some of them climbing and jumped off the burnt tree branches to get to her.
She sighed in frustration and glitched herself further towards the castle until she was right in front of the castle.
This time she sighed in relief as all of the running from the bad guys would finally be over.
But there was just one problem...
Between her and the castle was a boiling lake of lace that surrounded the entire castle.
This was definitely a no for her and she was sure if she could even glitch herself that far yet.
Especially if she was starting to get tired from all of the running and glitching.
She might as well take her chances with those critters than to cross that lava.
She turned around to run in another direction, but was shocked with the surprise that there were a lot more of them than she originally expected, like dozens more.
And they were all coming in a bunch of directions towards the castle.
Zoro must not have been able to catch all of them in time to stop them.
Vanellope quickly looked between the lava and the critters to see which option would be better.
When she took a closer look and saw that there were more critters coming from other directions, her mind was pretty much made up.
She turned to the love of trying to figure out a way over there that didn't involve her using up all her glitching energy.
When she spotted giant rocks that were floating amongst the lava, she came up with an idea.
She didn't have to glitch all the way over to the other side.
She could just glitch onto the rocks just to keep her from using up too much energy or pushing her to her limit.
She took a deep breath, stepped back and ran over to the edge and glitched herself onto the first rock.
She had almost fallen over when she landed due to its wobbly nature, but she managed to keep her balance.
She turned back to see that some of the critters were about to start jumping over the edge to try and reach her.
She then quickly glitched herself over to the next piece of rubble to try and get ahead of them.
They all started jumping in after her, somewhere, lucky enough to land on the first piece of rubble, she landed on, others weren't as they went, tumbling into the lava instantly being engulfed in flames, and sinking slowly.
She was trying her best to glitch as fast as she could across the broken bridge over to the castle.
The critters were right on her tail, still leaping over from one rubble piece to another.
One had even managed to catch up to her and land on the same piece.
she instantly kicked him off and into the lava lake, burning him to death.
After one last glitched leap over to the end, she finally made it to the castle.
She turned around to see that some of the little critters that were still alive weren't too far behind her, and they were many more behind them as well.
So she ran towards the castle doors and pushed as hard as she could to force them open.
Because it was a bit massive, it was harder for her to open the door.
But thanks to her small size, she only needed to open it small enough to get herself inside.
The critters had finally made it onto the same platform as her and ran over to attack her.
She saw that they were coming closer and pushed harder on the door, trying to get it open.
After a couple more pushes, she was finally able to get it open enough for her to slide through.
Once she was on the other side of the door she quickly started trying to push the door close so that the green critters wouldn't get inside.
The door was a lot easier to close than it was to open because she was having a better time pushing it closed.
And just when it was about to shut, some of the little critters started shoving their hands past the door's open trying to grab a hold of her.
She pushed on the door harder trying to keep them from getting in but it was harder to do so with them pushing on the door.
She needed to find a way to get this door shut and quickly before they got in.
She quickly glanced around until she found some small rocks by her feet.
This suddenly gave her an idea.
She grabbed one of the rocks and started slamming it against the critters hands, causing them great pain and making them pull their hands back and away from the door.
She hit one of them (who had managed to get the head through) in the eye with the rock.
After a couple more whacks she gave them with the rock, they finally stopped putting through the door.
This helped her finally be able to close the door and lock it from the inside, shutting them all out.
They started banging on the door hard trying to get in.
But it was no use, the door's lock was too strong for them to barge through.
She sighed in relief, she was finally safe and able to hide herself.
Or at least she thought….
She turned around and she saw to her whore that there were already at least a dozen little critters that were inside the castle.
They were everywhere on the walls on the staircase, and even right in front of her.
She was pretty much surrounded and with no way of escape.
She had glitched herself too many times to be able to conjure up another one for at least a little bit.
And to make things worse the door behind her was locked and even if it was open, it wouldn't help since the rest of the critters were still outside trying to get in.
She was trapped on all sides, and I have nowhere to go.
And Zorro was still out there, fighting the rest of them, and there was no way that he would be able to hear her through all his fighting.
She backed up slowly until her back was against the door.
The critters crawled up to her, slowly, as if trying to talk to pray
Fear filled her stomach as she soon realized that this could be the end for her.
She didn't get to say goodbye to Curly, her new mother, figure, or any of her family from Foosha village.
She would possibly die without anyone seeing what she was truly capable of.
And the worst part was that she didn't even get the chance to become a pirate or show the Strawhat pirates how good she could've been at it too.
She closed her eyes and prepared for what happen next.
The critter lunged at her with his teeth, paired out, preparing to attack her when all of a sudden an arrow shot down landed right in between his eyes, killing him instantly.
Vanellope waited for the attack, but it never came. Once she opened her eyes. She saw what happened to the critter.
She tilted her head into Tesia and looked around and saw that none of the other critters have any weapons, so she wondered how that could've happened.
The critters did the same thing as they started, looking around to see who had done that to the brethren.
Then all of a sudden another arrow shot out of nowhere and hit another critter on the side of its head.
Vanellopr and the other critters look on Insha as I saw would've just happened to another one of them.
She took another step back towards the door out of fear.
How was this happening?
Who is doing this?
She sat there with the questions in her head as she stood there, frozen in fear.
Then, all of a sudden,"GET OUT OF THE WAY KID", a voice shouted from somewhere in the castle.
Vanellope started looking around to see who had said before she stopped and realized that this voice meant her no harm.
In fact it was trying to help her get out of the way.
So she quickly started looking around to see if there was any place she could hide.
After a few seconds of looking she found a small spot under the staircase and ran over to it and hid under it.
Even though she was hidden, she was still able to see what was going on in front of her.
And what she saw next was crazy.
All of a sudden, dozens upon dozens of arrows came crashing to the ground killing some of the critters that didn't see it coming.
Then while the critters that were left who weren't hit by the arrows were left looking around in a panic trying to find who was killing them when suddenly a hooded figure dropped down to the middle of the floor and used their bow to shoot another critter right into its chest.
One of the other ones that saw this happen started charging at the figure with its sharp claws and teeth out.
The figure responded by side, kicking it down to the ground, pulling out an arrow and stabbing it right in the eye a few times.
The figure then ran over to two of the critters and pulled out a small blade before jamming it right into its neck.
The other critter didn't have much time to react before the figure used their other hand to stab it in the ears so deep that it went out of the other ear hole.
A few moments passed of them pitifully struggling until both their bodies slowly fell limp and started twitching a bit.
The figure removed both the blade and arrow from the critters and stood up straight.
The last one of the critters that was inside the house, stood across the room from the figure, shaking and shivering in fear
The figure turned their head over to face it,"You move", they said menacingly.
The critter filled with anger as it began to charge at the figure in a fit of rage.
Biggest mistake of its life...
The figure kicked it down to the ground and began to curbstomp its head.
Every stomp started to cave in on its head exposing pieces of brain matter, broken skull, teeth, whatever was easy to break.
They did this to the point where there was nothing left of the critters head, but a bunch of green meaty mass with bits of bone chips.
The critters' lifeless body stood laying there, twitching slowly.
Vanellope just sat there, completely shocked at what she had witnessed.
This figure single-handedly took out a bunch of little critters that have been causing her and Zoro so much problems.
Not to mention how skilled they were with a Bowl and their fighting styles were incredible.
She only thought that the Strawhat pirates were good fighters never really anyone else, especially from another world.
The figure removed their foot from what was left of the meaty mass and stepped away from the scene right before they turned to face the hiding spot that Vanellope was hiding in.
The figure began to walk toward at a normal pace, causing her to begin to back up.
The figure put their hands up," hold on wait I come in peace", the figure said, in a more calm tone, then earlier.
Vanellope stopped backing up,"W-who are you",she asked curiously.
The figure stopped walking and stood up straight, "Oh sorry hang on", they said before taking off their hood to reveal themselves.
And to Vanellope's surprise it was a girl.
She was a slender and tall woman with green hair that was long in the back and short in front, with two braids at the side. She wore a green sleeveless archer corset, shorts, a pair of uneven black gloves, knee high boots, and a hood. And she wore a black sleeve over her left arm, which looked as if it served as the arm guard for her bow arm.
But that wasn't the part that surprised her.
Even though she looked like a regular human female, there was one distinct difference that would've made her stand out from them.
It was the fact that she had long pointy ears on both sides of her head.
She started making her way over to Vanellope and holding a hand out to help her up," Here let me give you a hand".
Vanellope paused for a second before reluctantly, reaching out and grabbing her hand.
The girl pulled her up off the ground and dusted the little girl off,"There that should be better", she said before taking a step back to get a better look at the Vanellope," Are you hurt anywhere I need to worry about", she asked him concern.
Vanellope shook her head in response," no, I'm fine", she said, before taking a look at the girl's ears.
Vanellope tilted her head to the side in confusion and in curiosity,"What are you"
The mysterious girl bowed her head in an introductory kind of way before placing a hand on her chest," I'm an elf warrior, well an archer technically but I can fight pretty well too".
Vanellope looked shocked," wait so you're like a soldier", she asked.
The elf archer shrugged her shoulders,"Yeah you could say something like that", down to the little girl's eye level in curiosity," so how did you get your kid and are you alone".
Vanellope quickly shook her head," no no my friend was sent here, but we were attacked by those green things, and he stayed behind to fight them".
The elf responded by name down and placing her hands upon the little girls," OK do you know where your friend is? Maybe we can help him".
Vanellope was about to answer when they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from behind the front door entrance.
The noise caught both of their attention as it sounded like a loud banging coming from behind it.
The elf turned to the little girl and grabbed her arm quickly," OK get behind me I'll handle it", she said before she reached behind herself, grabbed her bow and arrow, and got into a shooting position.
The banging on the door grew louder by every moment that passed by.
Vanellope stood behind the elf, nervously shaking because she didn't know what was behind that door.
To make things worse Zoro still isn't back yet as far as she knew, so she was basically by herself with an archer that she had never met before.
And whatever was behind that door definitely sounded like it was big, like really big.
Penelope still was a little bit too tired to glitch them somewhere else unfortunately.
So they were basically stuck in this building with whatever was out there trying to get them.
After a couple moments of more bang, the elf was about to shoot at the door, when suddenly the banging stopped.
Just like that it was over as if it was a temporary prank or something.
After a couple moments of waiting, they figured that whatever was out there had walked away and found something else. Interesting.
Just when they were about to take a deep breath, the door suddenly collapsed into pieces.
The two of them covered their eyes as a wave of dust flew past them and filled the air.
After a few moments of coughing up and waving away the dust, the two of them begin to see a figure appear out of the entrance of the doorway.
They had then gotten into another stance like before prepared for whoever it was to come and attack them.
But then, once the smoke began to clear, Vanellope had gotten a clear review on Julia sealant was, and you wouldn't believe how happy she was just to see him.
It was Zoro!
He was standing in the doorway, holding one of his swords in his hand, as he had just used his sword techniques to cut down the door.
Vanellope got from behind the elf archer and ran up to him,"Zoro you're OK and you made it here in one piece".
He stepped forward as he began to place the sword back into its sheath," Oh good, you are all right", he said, before Dustin himself off and putting her on that," sorry for the wait kid, there was a lot more of them than I thought and some outside too, so I went ahead and took care of all that".
The elf girl put her bow and arrow away and folded her arms," so I took it this was afraid you were talking about a kid".
He looked up to see the elf standing across from them and so he pointed at her curiously," who the hell is this chick", spots her ears," and what the hell's with the ears"?
The elf decided to ignore that last question and instead answer the first one,"Alicia Elvenhign: High Elf Archer", i'm an elf from the elf kingdom", steps, closer to them and extends a hand," and judging by the look of you to, and your attitude, I have more than enough of a feeling that tells me you aren't really from this place scratch that this world are you"?
Zoro definitely was taken aback by her telling him she was an elf, but since he had met other creatures before, it wasn't really that much of a surprise to him so he decided to shake off the weirdness, and take the friendly gesture and shake her hand,"Roronoa Zoro, and no, you could say we were kind of given a free ticket here by a guy in a white suit".
Vanellope stepped forward to introduce herself," and I'm Vanellope von Schweetz, a hopefully future pirate in the making" she said cheerfully.
Alicia tilted her head in confusion," pirate"?She asked curiously, not knowing what that was.
Zoro was about to explain it to her when he realized that the danger wasn't over. They really needed to go and find Luffy before that guy in the white suit did and so they really didn't have much time for small talk, much less from a stranger.
So he did the best thing he knew how to do in that situation completely avoid the question and get a move on," Look I'd love to explain that to you hopefully in another lifetime, but right now, me and this kid need to go back where we came from to figure out our current situation, but anyway, thanks for keeping the kid safe, great to meet you, all that, hope you have a nice life and bye", he said, as quickly as possible before turning to Vanellope and then towards the door," come on kids let's go".
Vanellope nodded her head and quickly turned to Alicia and waved goodbye as she ran over to where Zoro was walking towards.
Alicia just stood there days that she had just engaged herself into.
The two of them had moved so fast that they didn't even give the elf a chance to say anything which was somewhat rude.
And to be honest, she would've let them be but part of her gut was worried because since they want from this world like they said they want, there's no way she can guarantee that they could find a way around this forest on their own.
Not to mention the fact that there were still other dangers that were still out there that they probably didn't know about.
She would've let them be, but she knew she would've felt guilty of something that happened under her watch.
So she decided to run after them to see if she could at least help them find their way home.
Once they had walked outside and made it over, past the rubble bridge of lava they were met face-to-face with the dark forest that just came out of.
And that's when a curious question popped up in Vanellope's head,"Hey Zoro, you do remember where that green pipe is right, I kinda sort of forgot do to all the running away", she asked curiously
Zoro looked at her confidently before, turning and pointing to the distance," of course I do it's…..uh", he started confusingly, waving his finger in a different direction, trying to pinpoint where he last left the pipe.
Vanellope looked at him and confused,"Uh Zoro you do remember where the pipe is right", she asked in concern.
The last thing they needed was to be trapped here, especially with this whole situation going on.
"Uh yeah sure uh...", he said, despite just now realizing that he had completely forgotten where the pipe was.
He had been so caught up in the bell he forgot to remember where the pipe was.
"Uh come uh aw DAMMIT", he shouted in frustration as he wasn't able to figure out which way to go.
Vanellope soon realized that after Zoro's long responses to her question painted a lear enough picture for her,"No no no no no no no no no you didn't", he did respond,"No come on Zoro don't tell me you forgot where it was".
He definitely forgot where the pipe was.
And now they were officially trapped and stranded in an unknown world.
Zoro shook his head and stepped forward," OK look, I may have forgotten where the pipe is but that's why we have nature's greatest survival tactic looking around we'll just do that until we find it".
"what how we're gonna do that with your sense of direction, wound up walking around in circles in the wrong direction for days if we do that", she said angrily to him.
Zoro turned and walked toward her with his hands on his hips," well kid. If you have a better idea on how to find it, then by all means lead the way, do you know if anything why don't you just glitch around the fourth so you find it".
She responded by looking down at the ground on her head," I would, but I'm really tired from using it so much when I was escaping from those little guys, so I might not have enough strength to do that", she said sadly.
Zory placed his hand on his face and tiny bit of frustration seeing as though they were now lost.
Suddenly they heard a voice call from behind them,"Hey are you guys alright".
They both turn to see that it was Alicia, the elf, who is standing right behind them curiously.
A thought suddenly popped into Zoro's head and he turned to her curiously,"Depends, you wouldn't happen to know the way to a certain green pipe here would you", he asked, almost in a sarcastic tone.
Vanellope turned to the elf as well," We forgot our way back to the green pipe we came out of and that's our only way home without it. We're stuck here, we could really use some directions".
Alicia placed a hand on the back of her head," sorry you guys I can't really help you with that. I'm not really from here myself, I am mostly just passing by on orders from a rebellion I'm a part of".
Zero turned to be in curiosity,"A rebellion, against what"?
The elf princess turned and pointed to a certain statue that stood out in front of the castle.
It was a beast like monster standing in an almost conquering pose, as if he were a leader of some.
"Against him", she answered ominously before turning back to the two of them.
Both Zoro and Vanellope looked at the statue then Alicia, confused"Who's that", they both asked curiously.
That last question completely shocked Alicia.
Maybe they didn't know what he looked like.
She tried again,"Bular", she said.
Their expressions didn't change.
She tried once again,"Bular The Butcher".
Still nothing from them.
"The God of war, The king of the trolls, The crusher of skulls",she tried her best to hug something up inside their head.
But they simply stood here with blank expressions on their faces.
Vanellope slowly shook her in response to the questions.
"We obviously don't know who you're talking about so maybe if you elaborate maybe we might know who you're talking about, specifically who are you? What is this place and what does that statue have to do with all this".Zoro suggested
Alicia signed, and turned to face the statue as she began to explain the situation.
"I'm part of a rebellion built as a first line of defense against the troll empire, some mainly bular the butcher whose statue you see before you, who is the leader of this empire, he's known for conquering kingdom, who worlds, countless armies, enslaving innocent people, and mercilessly, killing anyone who stands on his way or who might pause the threat to him,", she turns to them with a serious look on her face," he is one of the most powerful being in this world, and has one of the largest armies and kingdoms and some of the most powerful warriors aiding him".
Zoro raises a brow in curiosity," well if that's the case, this guy must be pretty powerful".
Alicia nodded her head," yes, one of the most powerful beings in this realm, no one in history has ever been able to defeat him".
Something about what she just said sparked a lightbulb in Vanellope's head,"wait did you just say troll", she asked in a concerned tone.
"Yes and this is one of his many realms,THE DARK LANDS, were everything here remains eternally night and those little creatures we were just fighting are called Goblins and they serve as some of his foot soldiers who watch over this land in case of intruders like ourselves",she explained,"I'm only here because I was scouting the area for any threats which lucky for us we might've taken care of some of them".
Zoro turned to her in confusion," wait some you mean there's more than just these guys".
She nodded her head once again,"Yes a lot more, hundreds, thousands, who knows", she said before stepping closer," but what I do know is that it's a bad idea to go wandering around these parts, especially with the dangers out there".
That last warning left Vanellope a little on edge especially after just dealing with all those goblin things, she wasn't really ready to keep encountering all these other creatures.
She can only glitch herself so many times before she begins to slow Zoro down too much.
So she was up for any good idea that didn't involve them putting themselves in a lot of danger.
Especially if the danger involved them wandering aimlessly through the dark woods to look for a green pipe, that might not even work at this point or leave them to anywhere else good.
"So basically, we're stuck here until we can find someone who can lead us to the pipe", Zoro asked.
Alicia was about to say something when a thought suddenly popped up in her head.
Judging by the way, the sky looked, with the three swords, and all he obviously was a strong fighter, especially if he was able to handle a hold of goblins.
Getting there wouldn't be such a bad idea now that she thought about it.
And it wouldn't hurt to have some extra man power even if this guy could possibly end up as canon fodder.
She bore a sly grin before speaking," well, I can't really lead you to a pipe but maybe someone back at my camp can if you guys come with me I can show you", she suggested before pointing in a direction.
Zoro was about to refuse when he suddenly remembered that he was lost in another world that wasn't his own, with no way of contacting his friends.
He then suddenly turned to look towards Vanellope (who looked as if she was about to pass out from exhaustion).
It wouldn't be so bad if it was just him by himself, but this time he had a kid with him who wasn't as experienced or used to being on an adventure, especially one that is unusual, is this.
And with her limitation, she could get killed rather easily, if she gets too tired, or too worn out from the adventure.
At this point, accepting help, at least for the little girl, would probably be the best decision.
He responded by shrugging his shoulders and turned to Alicia," you know what screw it, we're not gonna go anywhere out here other than Lost, and a little bit of rest for the kids will probably be the best choice of action", he said.
He then turned to Vanellope and pointed to her,"but we're only gonna stay for a few hours. Then we're looking for the person who can lead us to the pipe and go home".
He turned to Vanellope,"That sounds like a plan"?
She responded by nodding her head
"Alright right let's go", he said, before walking in the opposite direction from where Alicia pointed.
The two of them caught this and Alicia called out to him," Uh Roronoa, camp this way, " she said, pointing in the right direction.
Zoro instantly turned red and grown before speed walking past them in the right direction.
The two girls began to giggle before walking after him to the camps direction.
Their adventure had officially begun, and who knows what was waiting for them, in this new world.
