FIRE IN THE HOLE PART 7!!!

Here we go! This part ended up being longer, but man was it fun!
***************************************************************
Then the alarms sounded, followed by the room being lit up by flashing red lights. Once his eyes adjusted Big looked in the doorway from which they entered. Leaning against the opening was Hammerskold holding a large assault weapon. He stumbled in and hit the switch to the restraints on Big’s table.
“Big.”
“Peter.”
When he was free Big got up and freed Choopie. He looked over to where Merrow was and saw she was floating in the air, still glowing her eyes red as fire. Then he heard the hiss of a door opening and saw two beasts enter the room. Hammerskold raised his gun but stared in awe as Merrow gathered the liquid from the floor and launched it at the beasts knocking them back against the wall. Choopie ran over to where Molly was being held and lowered the field holding her.
They started to head through the door where the beasts came in and saw four more heading down a hallway towards them. Looking behind them they heard three of them coming through the blown open doorway.
“Molly see if you can fly ahead through the beasts and see what lies down that hallway, we’ll see what we can do here,” said Big.
“Ok.” She stayed as high as she could but the beasts didn’t seem to see her pass them by.
The rest of them backed into the room again Hammerskold firing down the hallway at the four beasts taking out two of them. The other two tripped over the others and fell on their faces, easily picked off by Hammerskold. Choopie ran back into the room and yelled at the two beasts coming though the other door and stuck his tongue out. Getting one’s attention it lumbered his way, but before it got too close he ran onto the dais that Molly was kept on. The beast lunged at him and he rolled backwards off the dais and switched on the force field, it’s arms getting severed at the elbows, falling to the floor at Choopie’s feet.
“Eww gross, but flippin sweet!”
“Merrow,” yelled Big. “If I can crack on of the other vats can you do that trick again?”
“Yes, Big I can. Just hurry as I’m growing weaker.”
Big went over to the monitors and saw that he could turn off the alarm from that station so he did so. He then lifted the large monitor and launched it at one of the fluid filled vats cracking it open. As the water poured out Merrow flew over to it, raised her arms and launched it at the beast like a battering ram. The beast flew through one of the windows behind it and fell with a loud grunt. The four then headed down the hallway that Molly flew down.
Meanwhile Molly kept on going trying to make heads or tails of all the intersecting corridors. She came upon a room split down the middle by a large wall interspersed with large windows. Slowly creeping under one she looked through it to see what was on the other side. There were a few of those greys standing on a raised section of the floor surrounding a large table. Upon the table looked to be one of the beasts, only it wasn’t as large and seemed more human than the others. They were poking and prodding it with weird looking instruments, but it didn’t move. She ducked out of the way as one seemed to look her way.
She heard something behind her and saw that it was the rest of the team. She lifted her finger to her lips signaling them to be quiet and pointed at the window. They crawled under it and Big looked carefully at what was going on.
“Looks as if they’re doing some kind of experiments and making those beasts out of people,” he said.
“Great cuz that sounds like a good thing,” said Choopie.
“Let’s keep going and see how we can get out of here.”
They continued on a little further and came to a large set of doors with symbols and strange writing on different parts of it. Everyone was exhausted but the need to continue pushed them on. Big went to one of the panels on the side of the door and hit the button to open it. They entered a dark room and couldn’t tell what was in it. The door slammed shut behind them and the room was lit up by a bunch of blue orbs in the ceiling.
The room was empty with the exception of some stairs leading up to an platform area still enshrouded in darkness.
“Come up the stairs, I’ve been expecting you,” boomed a voice that echoed throughout the room and even though they didn’t want to, they felt compelled to do so and found themselves walking anyway. As they climbed the stairs more blue lights lit the way. Once they got to the platform above a succession of lights came on and they all stared in awe as before them was a large glass chamber filled with a green liquid. Inside was a creature unlike anything they’ve ever seen before. It looked like one of the greys only much larger and more bloated. It’s large, black eyes had some sort of white film and its skin had a purple hue to its grey. It didn’t seem to move at all and it’s arms and legs seemed like they were withering away.
“I don’t appreciate the trouble it seems you’re going to cause us,” came the booming voice again. It came from the creature but it’s lips didn’t move, instead the voice was in their heads.
“We weren’t looking for trouble,” said Big. “We were trying to figure out the mystery of the hole.” He realized though that he couldn’t move his legs. The others couldn’t move either it seemed, with the exception of Molly. Who was slowly trying to inch away.
“Regardless, you already caused much trouble and we will not stand for it. You must be held accountable. We shall start with the spirit.”
At that Molly screamed hunching over and clutching her chest.
“What is it they say about your kind?” the being asked. “Oh yes, you’re only still in this realm due to something keeping you from crossing to the other side. Let’s remedy that.”
And as Molly screamed more she started to flicker, then it seemed like she was being torn apart until she just disappeared……

ERRRR.........

When Big was able to see again he realized he was in his bed back at BEDLAM. Looking around frantically he figured out that he must have been sleeping and having one hell of a nightmare.......THE END



NAH!!! Just kidding! Sorry the next part isn't done yet. It should be tomorrow though. And I will be doing the next few parts in one shot and will post them in succession a few days apart. There will be like 3 or 4 more depending upon how my outline fleshes out.

FIRE IN THE HOLE PART 6!!!

ok so here's part 6. we had a party we had to prepare for, then we found signs that we had some sort of rodents, which haven't shown up again, thankfully. so i got very caught up in taking care of that stuff, as well as having a hard time getting my attention focused.
****************************************************************
Coming through the door was a being not taller than 4 feet with a small body, a large head and bluish-grey skin. It looked at each of the beasts then continued walking past them and out a doorway on the far end of the lab room. The beast holding Molly and Merrow took Molly over to a raised dais and put her on it, as he did so a force field surrounded her. She tried to escape but was unable to do so. He then took Merrow to one of the vats, pushed a button which drained it, then opened it placing her inside and closing it back up. It then filled with the yellow fluid again. Big and Choopie were brought over to two tables where, after a futile struggle, were forced down on them and were strapped down by some kind of metal restraints.
As the beasts left through the same door as the little being Big looked over at Choopie.
“Are you ok?”
“Yeah, but my face hurts, A LOT.”
He then tried to get a look over to where Molly was and tried to talk to her but she wasn’t able to talk through the field. She looked terrified. Same thing with Merrow, whatever the fluid was seemed to be causing her some kind of pain.
“Big, what did you say that thing was again? A ‘grey’, what’s that?”
“An alien Choopie.”
“I thought they were supposed to be green? He was grey.”
“These are a specific type actually. They’re a highly intelligent being and haven’t been totally proven to exist.”
“Yeah but they say that about us too.”
“Good point.”
He then tried to see if he could try and free himself of the restraints, but it was not happening.
“So these ‘greys’, Big. What’s their deal?”
“Well it’s been said that they’re the beings involved in all the abductions that-“
“Wait, abductions? Like as in probes? In uncomfortable places?”
“Yeah that’s them.”
“We need to go, now.”
“Yeah well we’re not going anywhere, not anytime soon that is. So as I was saying, there’s been no released proof of them. There’s been conspiracy theories and governmental cover-ups surrounded them, Roswell being the most infamous of them all.”
“Well we need to do something ‘cuz there’s no way I’m getting probed!”
As Big looked around the room to see if there was any hope of finding something that could be any hope for escape he heard a loud crack. He looked over to the vat that Merrow was in and saw the glass had started to crack and inside she was glowing, her eyes gone red and the fluid she was in was bubbling as if it was boiling.
The casing erupted at the same time as the door they entered was blown open, then the room went dark…..

FIRE IN THE HOLE PART 5!!!

Ok so here's part 5. This is where things are getting really good, at least I think so. I'm taking a lot of liberties from here on out but it's going to be fun! I know it's late, I got caught up in some stuff, BUT I will post the next part this Thursday or Friday to make up for it. So without blabbing about why I'm late to posting this here ya go:
***********************************************************************************

The four of them were brought through a series of interconnecting tunnels all made of the same material as the cell they were in. Since they left what was the jail area, they hadn’t seen anything that could tell them where they were. All of the walls were bare with the exception of strange orbs which served as lights. They had given up trying to struggle free, the beasts had vice like grips and were not letting go. They didn’t respond to being talked, or in Choopie’s case, yelled at.

After what seemed like forever they came into a large open area. There were 2 large tunnels to the right and the left and a series of windows lined the wall furthest from them. As they headed towards the tunnel to their left Big was able to get a view through the windows. He saw that they were underground and down deep as he could see the rock face was glowing orange from magma below.

They entered the tunnel which had a slight incline and now the walls had shimmer to them. The floors were lit up as well, giving off a light green glow. A few more tunnels later and they came to another large room. This time with multiple tunnels branching off from it, there were no windows here though. Big looked to make sure everyone was doing ok. Choopie seemed bored and kept trying to squirm, Molly still looked scared and Merrow looked worried and her gaze had never left the direction from which they came.

The beasts took them down a tunnel to the right this time but now there were long, wide windows along the sides of the walls. Looking out form these Big was able to see that they were up a little higher and that they seemed to be in some sort of large complex. The tunnels shot all over the place and met at large oval shapes, which must be the large rooms they came across. He also noticed a few large pipes leading from a few of the oval shapes into the cavern walls.

Finally they came to a large door and one of the other beasts put its hand up to a red panel, the door then opened. They entered a very large room filled with all kinds of scientific instruments, large metal tables and some monitors flashing foreign images all over their screens. Along one of the walls were large vats with very strange beings within a fluorescent yellow fluid. From one of the walls a door opened and something short started to come through it..

“Um Big,” said Choopie. “That’s it! That’s the thing that I saw outside at the hole!”

“Oh my, I didn’t think they really existed,” exclaimed Big his mouth dropping.

“What is it, Big?” asked Molly nervously.

“A grey…….”

......to be continued........

FIRE IN THE HOLE PART 4!!

Hope everyone is liking the story. alas the art has gone by the wayside. I might do stuff after though. I've had guests staying last minute and tons of yardwork to do. BUT, I was thinking, how about a shout out to anyone here to do their own artwork based on the story? I think that would be really cool!!

ok i was having internet issues, AGAIN, so this is late, AGAIN. I really had it done, honest though. here's part 4 though, enjoy, like I said, these next two parts are going to be one helluva ride for the gang!!
****************************************************************

“They took your WHAT?!” grumbled Big.

“Er, um, nothing. I was just kidding. Ha Ha! Funny huh?” said Choopie while trying to stay out of Big’s reach.

“Guys! Guys!” yelled Molly. “We need to figure out what’s going on here. We can reprimand Choopie later Big.”
“Yes you’re right Molly. Sorry. Does anyone remember what happened?”

“I remember the little thing that appeared out of nowhere Big,” said Choopie standing behind Merrow.

“I didn’t get a look at him. Did anyone else?” Molly and Merrow shook their heads.”Choopie what did he look like?”

“Um, he was smaller than me I think and green I think, I couldn’t really tell. But it was like he opened a door and showed up. Kinda like that guy on that TV show, y’know the one with the other guy trapped in time and stuff and he goes from like one person to-“

“Ok I get it Choopie,” said Big. “So whatever it was it can travel without being seen, and if it showed up near the hole, then that means we must still be near it in some way. Now, if only we can find a way to figure out where we are exactly.”

They all looked around to try and figure out where they were. The room they were in was made of some kind of metallic alloy and smooth. There were no visible seams or cracks to suggest it was pieced together. There were slabs coming out of the walls which were evidently bunks of some sort, although they weren’t very big. The light they were able to see with seemed to just come from the walls, no sign of any light sources. The farthest wall from them was open but upon further notice it was some sort of barrier keeping them from being able to leave and keeping them from being able to break out. Hammerskold was still out cold in the farthest corner.

“I wonder what we’re being held for? Why not just kill us on the spot if they didn’t want us near the hole?” asked Big rhetorically.

“Hey Big, maybe we can ask that thing right there?” said Molly.

That thing being a hulking beast easily 8 feet tall and heading right towards them. It was all muscle, with a long face and two tusks extending from where it’s ears should be and down along its jawline. It’s arms were apelike in that they were long and it seemed to almost walk on it’s knuckles. There were two large nostrils that flared as it breathed and it had not two, not four, but six eyes, running along both sides of its face.

“Damn he’s ugly!” exclaimed Choopie.

The beast stopped outside their cell and stopped. Another three just like it appeared, one wearing some sort of gauntlet upon its left hand. The first one pushed something on the wall outside of the cell and the barrier shimmered slightly.

“Um, Big, this isn’t going to turn out well is it?” asked Choopie.

“We’ll see what happens Choopie, prepare to run if you can though, all of you. I’ll try to keep them from Hammerskold.”

The beast with the gauntlet on its hand walked thru the barrier and went straight for Molly, who tried to dart away, but to no avail, somehow it was able to grab her.
“BIG! What the? How is this possible?!” she screamed as the beast turned and grabbed Merrow in its free hand. She too was unable to get away. Big jumped at it, but was grabbed in midair by the first beast. He tried to squirm free but was unable to get away. Choopie made a break for the barrier but ran face first into it, unable to get through unlike the beasts. The third beast grabbed him as he held his face.

“I tink I boked my ‘ose”he said as he got carried away.

They left Hammerskold in the corner as all three carried the rest down a long, mildly lit corridor.

“Big, I’m scared,” said Molly as she tried to break free from the beast’s grasp.

“I know Mol, I am too ,” he said and he meant it.

.......to be, aw hell you know what haha!......

FIRE IN THE HOLE PART 3!

ok here's part 3. i totally fell behind on the picture for this. maybe what i'll do is just do a bunch and post them afterwards. i dunno, there's been no time for art lately. =( but anywhos, here's part 3. enjoy!!!

************************************************************

“Damn! Choopie!!!” yelled Big as he reached after the now falling little guy. “Quick Merrow, Molly get down there and see if you can find out what happened to him!”

“Stupid little-“started Hammerskold before being shot a dirty look from Big. He just stood near the rim of the hole.

The two of them flew down into the hole. After a few minutes went by, Molly flew out of the hole. She had a grim look on her face.

“Well?” asked Big reluctantly.

“He’s ok, but for how long I’m not sure. He’s caught on something on the wall of the hole. He’s not down too far. I told Merrow to stay with him just in case something happens. With a little rope we can get him back.”

“Alright, Hammerskold get some rope and hurry. Molly, go down and let Choopie know we’re going to get him back up here and let Merrow know we’re hurrying.”

She did ask told, then Hammerskold came to the rim of the hole with a large bundle of rope.

“Here, we’re wasting daylight though Big.”

“Shut it. We’re getting him back up here then we’ll continue. While we’re at it, how about you be of some use. See if you can get any vibes from what’s taken place around here.”

“Fine. But you know how much I hate using this power.”

“Again, shut it and just do it.”

Big lowered the rope down into the hole. After a bit, he felt a tug, then both Molly and Merrow came out of the hole.

“He’s all set Big,” said Molly. Merrow nodded in agreement.

Big pulled on the rope and in no time he had Choopie out.

“Thanks Big I thought I was a goner!”

“If I wasn’t a changed person, you would be. Now let’s continue. We don’t have too much daylight left.”

They set about to investigating the area. Other than the hole and the lack of snow on the ground there wasn’t anything to suggest any strange activities or phenomenon in the vicinity. Hammerskold was reluctantly getting set to use his ability of Telepsychometry to see what happened here before.

“So how goes it Hammerskold?” asked Big.

“So far all I’m getting is that there have been many people to come here, but from what I can tell none have ever left. There’s definitely something strange here.”

He was nearing the rim of the hole when he stopped for a second then he got a look of terror on his face and shrieked. Everyone ran over to him as he passed out from whatever it was he came across.

“What the,” said Big as he knelt next to him and checked his pulse. “He’s still alive but we won’t know what happened to him until he wakes up. We have to get him to a safe area until-“

“Um, Big, I dunno if that’s going to happen,” said Choopie thumbing over his shoulder. “We’ve got company.”

All four turned around to see a small creature appear out of nowhere and point something at them. There was a flash of light, then nothing.

They awoke a little later in a dark room with very little light emanating from the walls. Hammerskold was lying in a corner and everyone else seemed to be ok.

“Damn!” said Choopie.

“What?” asked Big.

“They took my Mess-You-Up gun........"

FIRE IN THE HOLE PART 2!

Ok so i've been having trouble getting online at home so this is a day late. Sorry, I tried, that and I was working on the story at home only and not able to do it at work otherwise I would just use the computers there. So here we go with the next segment of my Perhapanauts fan-fic(if you haven't read part 1 yet, STOP! scroll down and read it first). Not sure if anyone is reading, but hope there's been some enjoyment. No sketch for this part though, didn't get a chance, plus nothing seemed to work out right. Next part though as it works itself into the picture better.

110 Years Later

BEDLAM Headquarters-Debriefing Room

“I called you all in here to bring up an interesting phenomenon that’s been brought to our attention again. Evidently there’s been more activity surrounding the mystery of-for the love of-Choopie! You’re late again!”

“Sorry Chief I was just getting into this killer game on my Playstation and it took FOREVER to find a save spot and I-“

“Save it, take a seat and pay attention.”

“What are we here for anyways Chief?” said Choopie as he took a seat in between Big and Hammerskold, the former who tolerates his behavior and he latter which can’t stand him at all. Also sitting in on the debrief are Merrow and Molly.

“I was getting to that before you decided to finally grace us with your presence. As I was saying there’s been a flurry of activity with regards to Mel’s Hole-“

“Hey I think I watched that thru Pay-Per View last night, wasn’t very good at all,” chuckled Choopie. Hammerskold rolled his eyes, while Big smirked slightly.

“Ahem! As I was saying, evidently more people are catching wind of Mel Waters’ discovery and are looking to find it and see what the story is all about. Unfortunately there’s also been a lot of people gone missing as a result of their curiosity. I want to send out a team to investigate the area and see if you can figure out what the story is with this ‘hole’-“

Again Choopie chuckled.

“Choopie since you find this so amusing you’ll be going on the mission. Along with yourself I want Hammerskold-“

“Aw, fer the love of, I don’t want to have anything to do with anything that little bastard.”

“Hey I have a dad, I just dunno who he is.”

“Anyways,” interrupted the chief. “I want Big to go as well, along with Merrow and Molly. Now the hole is said to be somewhere around Ellensburg, Washington State. Big, would you care to continue this?”

“Sure Chief. Now, Mel Waters appeared on a radio show discussing his findings of a supposed bottomless hole on some property he claims to own. He conducted a bunch of his own tests and could find no bottom at all. He also claims that the hole has some kind of mystical/supernatural quality in that someone dropped a dead pet into it and the animal came back out alive again.”

“Man that’s some hole haha! Man I can’t stop this. It’s just too much,” laughed Choopie.

“Now there hasn’t been any documentation put out on this, so it’s all hearsay. Hopefully we can get to the, um, bottom of this so to say.”

Choopie erupted into riotous laughter at that.

“You all must exercise the utmost discretion on this matter,” started the Chief. “This is to be nothing but recon. I don’t want any attention to our being there by all means possible.”

“Um, Chief?” asked Choopie.

“Yes?”

“Can I bring my Mess-You-Up gun?”

“No you cannot, I said this is all recon, no force at all.”

“Hmph, fine. Whatever you say Chief.”

“I mean it Choopie, no weapons. Any sign of trouble you’re to get out of there immediately. Be careful out there, this meeting is over.”

As they all shuffled out of the room to begin their preparations for the mission, Choopie muttered under his breath,”I don’t care, I’m bringing my gun.”

A while later the team has landed on the outskirts of a massive forest skirting along the base of a couple of mountains. Once ready they set off in search of the mysterious hole with no ideas of what they were going to run into. There was a decent amount of snowfall so wending their way through the woods was a little rough, but they finally found their destination. It was a small clearing in the woods clear of any snowfall.

“Hmm, how strange,” exclaimed Big as he looked around. “Why is there no snowfall here? Very odd indeed.”

“Are we there yet?” asked Choopie as he stumbled into the clearing. ‘Cuz, man I really gotta-AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!”

Those were his last words as he tripped and fell into the hole….
