Chapter 10 - Tournament Part II ~Slime Tutorial vs. Shroomer~

Prometheus places bubbles all over Cal as he goes back to normal and screams in horror."AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! OH MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD, I WAS DEAD!!! GOD'S REAL!!! HE WAS PLACING ME TO HELL!!! AAAAAAAAAAH!!! OH MY GOD!!! WHAT THE SHIT!?!? I'VE SEEN THINGS NO HANDSOME AVERAGE-SIZED BASKETBALL PLAYER SHOULD EVER SEE!!! C'THULU'S REAL!!! HE'S REAL!!! SO IS SATAN!!!""Take him away." Dark facepalmed.Prometheus teleports him back to the stadium. Lord, who is in a bubble, sighs and transforms back into a normal person. "Oh dear... What did I just do?""You won. That's what matters," said Prometheus, teleporting him back into the stadium with his team."Alright, Dylan..." Prometheus gives deadly eyes. "Who's next?""U-U-Uh... Shroomer... versus Slime Tutorial..." said Dylan.Jedan sighs. "I'm up. Hopefully, I won't kill this guy.""Oh my shit!" yelled Acosta. "I'M SORRY FOR BULLYING THESE GUYS!!! I DON'T WANNA FIGHT THEM!!! I DON'T WANNA-!!!""You're gonna fight them," said Prometheus."Yep," said Dark, giving a terrifying look. "Unless you really are a weakling, Acosta. Well...? Are you?"Acosta gulps. He walks down the stadium to battle against Jedan. Acosta sighs. "Wait... I don't have anything to turn into zombies!""'Zombies?'" asked Jedan."Yes, you do," said Dark. "You have your opponent, right? If you take over his mind, we'll consider that a win."Jedan becomes terrified. "Uh... What's his ability!? GUYS!?!?""First. What is yours...?" asked Acosta, terrified."Oh. I don't have an Usog. I have a mutation. I can... stretch..."After a short pause, everyone bursts out laughing."'Stretching!?'" laughed Acosta. "Oh, you are SO fuckin' dead, dude." Acosta begins emitting some sort of steam from his body.Jedan's eyes widen. "Uh...!""JEDAN!!!" yelled Prometheus. "RUN AWAY FROM THE SPORES!!!""'SPORES!?!?'" asked Miguel, Lord, and Anna."WHAT!?!?" asked Jedan. Jedan sees that the ground around Acosta begins growing small glowing mushrooms. "OH SHIT!!!" Jedan runs away from Acosta.The people start booing at him."C'MERE, COWARD!!!" yelled Acosta."I'm not a coward!" yelled Jedan."Then why are you running?" sneered Acosta. The shrooms begin charging toward Jedan's shoes.Jedan then springs himself upward. "SPRING RUBBER!!!"Jedan then spins his fist over and over again and launches his fist at Acosta. "RUBBAH LAUNCHAH!!!"Acosta gets punched in the face and crashes into the walls of the ring.Acosta stands back up, slowly.Jedan laughs out loud. He sees that the mushrooms begin dying. "30 second timeout, huh?"Jedan lands on the dead shrooms, which each wither away.Acosta growls and spreads his spores even more."Jedan! Attack from the distance!" yelled the Reaper. "Look at your hands! Are there ANY shrooms!?""No!" yelled Jedan."So...!?" asked the Reaper."No coaching!" yelled one kid."I'M THE COACH, FUCKFACE!!!" yelled the Reaper."We're coaches this whole time?" asked Herculea."Yeeeahhh..." said Dark. "I'm not a helicopter papa though. Sink or swim, bitches.""It only activates thru inhalation!" yelled Jedan. "Thanks Miguel.""Hey, Acosta!" yelled Dark."What!?" asked Acosta."Stop sucking ASS!!!" yelled Dark."Right... This idiot is just a lame loser who draws art at the back of the classroom..." sneered Acosta. "He's just a damned loser... Like Miguel... Nothing more than weak nothings beneath my feet... Autistic fucks... Think they can outlast someone as important and funny as I am... Me... Women love me... Men want to BE me... Who are they to humiliate me this WAY!?!?""(Hm... I have to get closer... He's outside my range...)" Jedan looks at his environment. He sees the dust from Acosta's dead spores. Jedan charges toward Acosta. Jedan begins inhaling air and turns into a balloon.He rolls toward Acosta,Acosta laughs. "Welcome to my territory, Jedan! This is probably the stupidest-! Huh!?" Suddenly Jedan grows his arm to a large size and splashes Acosta's dead spores on the ground into his eyes, proceeding to blind him as Jedan throws several punches at Acosta. "RUBBER RUSH!!!" he roared, with the powerful gush of wind from his ballooned lungs blowing all of Acosta's spores away.Acosta gets punched all over at great speeds, shattering all of his bones. Jedan shrinks back to his normal figure and continuously punches him over and over again. "RUBBER RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSH!!!"Acosta crashes into the stage, unconscious.Jedan sighs in relief."Jedan! There are still spores around-! Huh?" asked Lord. "What-?""Calm down. Jedan's still holding his breath. His lungs are probably larger than every organ in his body, letting him hold his breath much, much longer.""Whoa..." said Lord."C'mon, Jed!" yelled Anna. "You can hold your breath!"Jedan sweats harder.Dylan begins counting. "1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6."Jedan sweats harder."7. 8."Jedan sweats even harder, beginning to shake. His skin slowly turns blue."9... 9 and a half-...""Don't try that shit, boy, if you wanna live 'til 70," said the Reaper, giving a deadly look."10. He's... down..." said Dylan.Prometheus teleports into the ring and warps out a rebreather with his bubbles, proceeding to place it on Jedan's mouth. "You okay, kid?""Thank you..." said Jedan.The Reaper drops to the ring and burns all of the fungi away.He grabs Acosta and throws him to his team's area."Who's next!?" asked the Reaper.Jedan shakes in pain while being cradled by Prometheus."Look, kid. You're gonna be okay, alright?" asked Prometheus."I shrank... every organ... in me... blood... immobile in... stream..." said Jedan. Prometheus waves his hand, fixing Jedan's circulation and turning his skin back to normal color."Oh my God... Thank you..." said Jedan, sighing in relief."That wasn't the smartest decision, but it was smart.""That's why you chose me.""Yep. You were being smart. Could've been smarter about it. But you were smart. Like that about you, kid. And, despite running away, you've got guts.""Thanks, Pro..." sighed Jedan.
