Ack! :eek: I'd better write some more, or never see Mistoffelees again!! *Screams 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!' at the top of her lungs*
Though I haven't been around much, mIRC won't let me into Oddchat, and the chat page doesn't work for me for some reason. So I can't see my Oddworld friends. :( :crying:

Ben: Why Splat, why do i have to close the door? And why are you hiding in a giant wherhouse in the middle of ________? And why is it so cold in here? And why are you slowly moving towards me with your fists clenched? And why are you turning red? And why are you turning in to a shrykall? And why is Mistofylees hiding in this crate?

Chapter 13: Return to the Village.
 
It's 12:40am, I have worked 10hrs at KFC today. I am slightly hyper from lack of sleep, plus Pepsi. So I wrote a chapter.
...........
That sounds pretty bad, even to me. Anyway, I want my Mistoffelees back!!! You can keep Ben though......
*grabs Misto, posts chapter, then dives behind a peice of scenery with Misto in tow.* Heheheheh.......
-----------------

*Finally....a bird portal. Abe can look after himself, I'm outta here!* Munch thought grimly, hopping determinably towards the portal, the rescued Mudokons dutifully following behind, Ben talking all the way.
"Munch, are we just gonna leave Abe behind? What if he's injured, or hurt, or in trouble? What if...."
"BEN! Abe is fine! He's not even in this factory. I'm sure he's back at the village, wondering where we all are. And hurt and injured mean the SAME THING!!" Munch yelled. All this fuss about the can opener was getting to him. He had a headache, and with a head the size of Munch's....well, lets just say it wasn't pretty.
"Do you really think that Abe is in the village? Do you think he's got a can opener with him? Is my brother there? Can I have something to eat when we get there?" Ben continued, oblivious to the definite signs of annoyance coming from Munch.
"Bet you five Moolah that Munch kills him in the next sentence." One of the liberated Mudokons whispered.
"But we don't have any Moolah." He friend said.
"Well, bet you...something."
"I don't think he will anyway. Ben's been talkin' for ages, and he hasn't done anything yet."
"Will you please [i]SHUT UP{/i]?!" Munch snapped. "I'm trying to open the portal here!"
"Abe could do it, even if we were talking." One of the Muds objected.
*That's it!* Munch thought. He gathered up all the Spooce he had with him, and practically rammed it into the shape of the portal.
"All right, everybody through, now!" Munch snarled, causing the Muds to leap for the supposed safety of the village.
"You better have my can opener Abe...." Munch muttered, and hopped through the portal.
-----------------------------------------

"Look, is there some reason why you guys keep biting me?!" Abe asked the Fuzzles. Still clad in his 'disguise', with it's interesting under garments, Abe had been leading the Fuzzles in the search for some way off the floating lab, but so far it had proven fruitless.
"How did Munch get out of this place?" Abe muttered to himself.
"What's it doing now?" One Fuzzle said, though Abe wasn't paying that much attention to the subtitles, and didn't notice.
"I think it's trying to leave." Another commented.
"Doesn't it know it's going the wrong way?" Fuzzle one said.
"It's stupid. Maybe we should help. Then we can go some place nice." A third Fuzzle join the conversation.
"Ok, I'll lead it, but only cause it's dumb." The first Fuzzle sighed.
Abe looked down as one of the Fuzzles made a few little noises at him and looked expectant.
"Cute little guy aren't you?" He said, lifting the Fuzzle up. "Wonder if they make good pets..."
The Fuzzles gave it's equivalent of a sigh, and bit Abe of the hand.
"OWWWWWWW!!" Abe yelled. "Why you....! Come back here!" He snarled, and began to chase the Fuzzle down the hallways.
After a long chase, Abe rounded a corner in time to see the Fuzzle entering a round room.
"Gotcha!" He said, following it in with the other Fuzzles. As Abe reached down for the Fuzzle, the floor suddenly decided to slid into the walls, and they all became fast friends with gravity.
"Oh, @&#%$!" Abe said, before plunging towards the ground.
---------------------------------------
Munch looked around the small clearing where he and the others had arrived.
"There's the village. Go, knock yourselves out." He muttered to the Muds. Then seeing the confused expressions, he yelled, "It's just a saying! I mean, go and have a look around. Bug someone else for a change."
All the Muds left, except for Ben. Looking him over, Munch said.
"What in Odd's name do you want?"
Ben opened his mouth to answer, but Munch didn't hear, because at that precise moment, he was hit with a plummeting Abe.
---------------------------------------

"Munch? Are you dead? Can you hear me if your dead? What's it like to be dead? Is Odd nice?"
*Why me?* Munch thought. *Why did I have to be the one who found him?*
Munch opened his eyes and looked up into the concerned face of Abe (he'd managed to get the Fuzzles to eat the dress and other things off him), and the identically colored face of Ben, whose mouth was still moving.
"Why didn't they stitch his lips up too!" Munch moaned.
Ben blinked and looked at Abe. "They said it was 'cause my mouth moved too much for the Vykker to get the needle in." He said. "Wow! Are you really Abe? Can I see you turn Shrykull? What about chanting? Do your lips hurt?....."
Abe rolled his eyes. "He's been like this for the whole time you were out. Did you find a can opener?"
Munch growled softly. "So, neither of us found one! I'm never gonna be able to hatch the eggs, am I?"
Abe sighed. "I'm sorry Munch. At least we rescued some Muds and Fuzzles. I know, let's find Ben's brother, and then we can get some tea from Alf's Rehab. Maybe he has some ideas."
Munch muttered a little, but agreed. "How are we gonna find Ben's brother?" He asked.
"Well, seeing as the Almighty Raisin is probably still working off that Expresso, we won't be too welcome there. So I guess we can ask the Shaman."
"What about that Big Face dude?" Munch said.
Abe's face went suddenly blank. "Let's not." He said.
Munch shrugged, and followed Abe to a nearby Shaman circle. *Funny how these things turn up everywhere...* Munch thought.
The Shaman appeared instantly, and grinned when he saw the trio.
"I knew you guys would come through! The Raisin wasn't so sure, but I told him, 'This is Abe and Munch, they're destined to be great guys, if I help them that is', so he let me keep and eye on you guys and...."
Ben's eyes widened. "You're my brother!" He exclaimed, for once not asking questions.
"Ben?!" The Shaman said. "Wow! You guys found my kid brother! You really are great, better, if I can help you in the future, but still ok. Who'd have thunk it? My kid brother!"
Abe and Munch were so happy for the pair, they immediately tried to run away and leave them to be alone, but as luck would have it, Ben and the Shaman joined them in Alf's Rehab.
"Whada you guys want?" Alf asked the four, listened to their orders, and gave them what ever he had made up at the time.
"So," Alf said, joining the group. "Where you guys been all day?"
"Looking for a can opener." Munch sighed.
"What for?"
"Because I need to open my Gabbiar!!" Munch wailed.
Alf looked confused for a moment, then reached under the table and pulled out a hand operated can opener.
"You only had to ask." He said.
Abe looked at Munch, who was on the verge of turning red, looked at Alf, then hid under the table.
Munch concentrated, getting ready to zap Alf into a blackened, char-grilled Mud steak, then stopped.
"Ben? Shaman?" He said, a trace of satisfaction in his voice. "Alf here's gonna let you guys spend the night at his place. Have fun!"
Munch grabbed Abe, and the two fled the Rehab while Alf was still trying to figure out what was going on.
-------------------------------------

*sticks head out from scenery peice* You're still here? Well, I still have to write the Epilouge thingy, so It should be in a day or two.
Oh yeah, mIRC, I have to secure secure the open proxy on your router or have my network administrator do so, who ever the hell that is.....
Seriously, the whole idea of simple help with step by step instructions has kinda died. What ever happened to "Click this button, enter this information, press enter..." Type solotuions?
Maybe I'm getting old...

Rich 02-22-2003 02:48 PM

What a cool story. Shame I never read it before now. Anyway it was great, real funny! :D :D

Splat 02-25-2003 05:33 PM

:crying: :crying: :crying: It's ended! Oddworlds funniest adventure ever has ended!:crying:
On a lighter note, :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: , this was one of the funniest and weirdist chapters ever! who would have thought Bens's brother was the shaman?! wwell, i guess they where both anoying, and no really very that bright!
Ben: hey Splat, are you saying I'm stupid? Don't you like me? Am i really annoying? doesn't anyone love me? Doesn't anyone care?!
Splat: No!!! ... Exept maybe that giant heard of scrabs over there! Why don't you go and ask them? I'm sure theyed love you to stay for dinner! They'll be fightin over you!
Ben: Really?
Splat: Yeah, of cource!
Ben: Yay! Thanks Splat. See ya later1
Splat: Yeah, see ya!...
Sheesh, and i thought Munch was anoying! (read my story, splat for more info)

Oh well, back to the point: we'll all miss this story Kes, hope you write another one soon! Bye!
And oh yeah, TAKE CARE OF THAT TOOTH BRUSH!!!

Dipstikk 02-26-2003 02:20 AM

LOL!! I just read the story. Hi-freakin'-larious! I laughed until I dropped on the Floor (Literally!)

Edit: I found something interesting. That can of Gabbiar....

...Has a pulltab.


Munch:.......A.....Pulltab?
Abe: N-Now, Munch, heh...old compodre...let's not do anything hasty...
Munch: You mean to tell me that our whole quest was in VAIN?! BECAUSE OF A PULLTAB?!
(Munch pulls out a spontanious chainsaw from his back)
Abe: RUNNN!!!
Munch: (Foaming at the mouth) YOU BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU!!!

Edit 2: ...Or does it? Upon further inspection, I saw that the Gabbiar can does NOT have a Pulltab. I thought it was like a can of sardines. THOES have pulltabs. Even so, I thought it would be funny to add a dash of irony to the situation.:rolleyes:

Kesiah 02-27-2003 03:00 AM

Hey! I'm not done yet! I've still got the Epilouge to write, though it won't be too long, it has some 'interesting' bits in it.....
Then, there's always a sequal.......
Misto: uh oh....
Abe: What do you mean, 'uh oh'?
Misto: I've seen her eyes go like that before......
Munch: ........I think I remember......
Misto: RUN! RUN FOR YOU LIVES!!
Kes: Glad to know I'm loved...... *sigh*

Splat 02-27-2003 04:16 PM

You mean there's more...?

WAHOO!!!

:D :D :D

Kesiah 02-27-2003 11:06 PM

Epilogue
 
Here it is, the last part of Quest.... *sniff* I had fun writing it, and I'm gonna miss it.
Abe, Munch and Co: We're not!!
Kes: ........ *plots revenge*
------------------

Abe sighed, glad that this whole thing was finally over. He watched as Munch hopped off to be alone when he finally got to open his precious can. *Ahh well, back to business.* Abe thought, and made his way to his hut.
Inside, he opened a small laptop with internet connection, and pulled up Oddlook Express, his e-mail program.
Abe spent the next few hours typing up a brief copy of the events that occurred in that day, then when to click on the name 'Lorne Lanning', but hesitated.
"Nah, I don't think he'll believe this story." Abe muttered. He moved the list down, highlighted 'Kesiah' and pressed send.
"Hope the fans like it....."
----------------------

Several months later....

Abe wandered down to the pond that Munch had decided to live in.
*The eggs should have hatched by now.* He thought. *Wonder how Munch is going with all them baby Gabbits?*
The Gabbit in question was looking over the pond, and when Abe approached, he could hear Munch talking.
"Ok, 76, there's number 77, wait, that's number 45! ARGH! Now I have to start over. 1, 2, 3, 4.....Hold still! How am I supposed to keep track of you, if you won't hold still!!" Munch screamed at the swimming Gabbits.
"Problem Munch?" Abe asked.
Munch scowled at him. "I'm fine, but how do I know if anyone's missing? they won't hold still long enough for me to count them!"
Abe thought about this. "Uhhhh......Maybe if you put something on them to make them all look different?"
"That won't work! Hang on.....Have you got a permanent marker?"
----------------------

Munch grabbed up a Gabbit, and used the marker to write a big '23' on it's head, then put it back in the water.
"Only another 127 to go.." He muttered. In the pool, 23 Gabbits with big numbers on the backs of their heads swam around happily.
"After that, I just have to worry about when they start to talk......"
-------------------

Misto runs out, holds up a card that reads: It's finally over!!
Kes: *sniff* That's it...Quest is...gone.... :crying:

Dipstikk 02-27-2003 11:34 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I'll miss this fic! I laughed, I cried, I wet myself!

Splat 03-01-2003 07:49 AM

:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
It's over! all my dreams, all gone! No quest for the permanent marker or anything like that1 Nothing to look forward to! Its all gone!!!

Hobo 03-01-2003 11:19 AM

I know what you mean, i spent the best 25 minutes of my life reading and re-reading this! Make a sequal, how about "queenie's search for her bra?"

Kesiah 03-02-2003 08:59 AM

Do not worry so much! Yes, Quest has finished, and I for one will miss it, but I also have other ideas for stories that I can now work on.
The main thing is, even though this story has come to a close, I still have many evil, uh, funny things up my sleeve....

Splat 03-04-2003 05:09 PM

You for 1!!! About 50 people just went on about how they're gonna miss your comedic genius (is comedic a real word?) AND YOU CAN ONLY REFER TO YOURSELF!!!
oh well, it doesn't matter, I'm to tired to hold a grudge right now so I'll just beg for a new story to start eveytime i get on the internet. Might as well start now, PLEEEEEEEZZZZE! Right a new story? We need you to brighten up our lives and make us do this :D and this :lol: , to turn this :| in to this :) ! Please! Not for us, not for Abe, but for me, i mean you! :dodgy:

Al the Vykker 03-04-2003 06:37 PM

This was a great story Kes. You should give yourself a pat on the back.

Think of it this way guys. Now its time to broaden your horizons and reply to some other fan fictions too.


~Formally Closes~

I feel everyone has said what is needed and remember to keep an eye out whenever I have time to get the ball rolling and get things started with our contests here in FC. I expect you to enter this in Kes. I apologize for the length of time all of you have waited though. I have had lots of work to to in the past few months.

once again, congrats to Kes on a job well done!:)


-Sincerely, Al the Vykker FC Mod
