The thin brownish creature responded in it's scratchy voice. "I am a guide."
Geeble didn't trust whatever this thing was. He could tell by it's presence. "What would you guide me to?"
"Your destiny."
"What is my destiny?" Geeble asked curiously.
The creature was on all fours, but stood up to say this. "Your destiny is to die!" it screamed.
Geeble ran up to the creature and siezed it by the neck and pinned it against the tree. "I wouldn't make a threat like that, seeing as you're very small and....oh yeah, I could kill you right now!"
The creature laughed. "You can't find your way through this jungle without my help. I die, you die!"
Geeble threw the creature onto the ground."Well then...help me and I might spare your life."
"I don't help for free. We must play a game to see." The creature then laughed at it's little rhyme.
"What game?"
"The game of why is the only game I know, so it is the best. The rules are as follows." The creature then scurried off behind it's tree and pulled out a large piece of bark with writting on it. "You must read the agreement or you can't play."
Geeble picked up the piece of bark. It looked to be written in blood. "You've done this before, haven't you?"
"Eh, once or......eh..a thousand times! Yes! Thoasands of times, and I never lose!"
Geeble snorted at this, and read the agreement. The rules are, you must ask Goofuh(creature) a question and explain it. If you lie, you die. If you can't answer you die.
"Hmmmm, okay a question. Can you help me out of here?" Geeble asked starting the game.
"Why?" Goofuh asked as he snickered.
"Because I want to get out of here."
"Why?"
"Because I need to find my orb."
"Why?"
"So I can become a God."
"Why?"
"So I can destroy the nothing."
"Why?"
"So Oddworld will be peacefull again."
"Why?"
The game went on for hours. Goofuh was used to winning after a few questions, but he wasn't prepared for Geeble. After a long long time, Goofuh lost his voice. "I win! " Geeble said proudly!"

Goofuh jumped onto Geeble's face and latched on bitting and scratching away. Geeble pulled the creature off and threw it onto the ground. He then pinned Goofuh under his foot. "Show me the way out!"
Goofuh nodded. Geeble released Goofuh from under his foot and the creature scuried over to his tree. He did a combination of knocks and taps onto the bark and the tree opened up like a door. Geeble stepped inside the door and it sealed shut behind him.
There was a series of stairs that led down, down, down......then finally, a nice pulley platform. Geeble went up that and was met by a huge bubble type structure. The walls were clear and Geeble could see fish swimming past the windows. He was underwater! Then, out of nowhere, a booming voice spoke.
"To see if you are the real Geeble, we are conducting a series of tests and challenges that only the real Geeble could do. Have fun!"
With that said, Geeble was transported to a type of maze.
"This maze is filled with orange orbs....only one of them is yours. The rest will lead you to a horrible death....BEGIN!" the booming voice said acting as if this was completely normal.
"I can do this." Geeble said to himself.
Just then, a huge beast dropped down from the ceiling with a large fly-swatter.
"Oh yeah, and you have to defeat the beast at the same time." the voice stated. "Did I mention there's a time limit?"
