Why thank you...
After an hour or so of hiking, we came along to an opening in the forest. There we saw our first thug, or from the looks of it, it was a thug.
I wore a pair of overalls with only one strap up, but when I got a better look, I realized.
It had no head.
We all looked at eachother with a very confused looked on our faces. Even though this is Oddworld, it was Odd even to them. The headless wonder was standing there for a bit and then started patrolling. When he turned around, then we saw what was up.
It was alot like that old Sega Game, Decap attack. The guys head was in its torso but half of it was covered by the overalls, more than half actually, we could only see his eye. We then saw a gun where the guys head was supposed to be, if he was hunched over or something, with a string of bullets leading to a pack on his back, in one hand, he had what looked like a flamethrower.
The gun on his shoulders moved around like a real head, probably connected to his nervous system, along with some camera that acted like some extra gun eye. We looked at Stranger, who was already loading his crossbow with a boom bat. I aimed it to his apparent flame thrower for collateral effect, and fired.
The Boombat exploded and the thug fell down and passed out. Stranger went over and sucked him into his canister.
"Thats a new one to add to the collection," He chuckled, as we started to walk away.
It started to become quiet, a bit too quiet, the birds weren't twirping and it was basically not Woods quiet, but dead quiet.
"Stranger," I whispered. Trying to get his attention.
"I'm not stupid," he whispered back, "this is an ambush."
He seemed a bit laid back, and I guessed that since he didn't seem to care, neither should I. Then I noticed Abe wasn't there.
"Stranger," I said.
"Wut!?" he hissed, "Be quiet!"
"Abe isn't here," I said.
"Stupid Hippy," he said, "Knew he'd run."
I couldn't believe my hero had abandoned us. I didn't know what to do. But crying wouldn't do anything, so I held back the emotions and continued with Stranger.
It wasn't long before we walked into a round opening. I heard Stranger whisper, "3...2...1..."
And sure enough, like clockwork, we heard a chorus of guns clicking from all around us.
"Stranger," said a booming voice over an intercom, "How nice of you to drop by."
"Freddy!" he yelled. "D'you know how cliche this is? You're a terrible outlaw! you don't even show your face!"
"Don't you mock the way I do things," he replied, "I learned from the best!"
"All the best are locked up because of me!" Stranger yelled.
"No Duh, Stranger!," He scoffed, "I didn't plagerize, I learned from their mistakes! Boys! do what you wish!" and the intercom clicked off.
I thought we were doomed, the thugs all turned their guns toward us and were about to fire, when all of a sudden I heard a familier sound.
"oyoyooyoyooyoyoo," echoing through the forest.
Abe.
He hadn't left us, he just senced it too, and he had a plan.
A stream of light came from the trees and went to the nearest thug, when the light hit him, he shook for a bit, he flashed blue, and then returned to normal. Another Stream came from the trees and hit another thug. The other thugs were too scared to notice. As the chanting continued. More and more streams of light came from the trees and one by one, started posessing each and every thug, until they all were taken.
Stranger didn't know what to do, but I had a guess. I stepped out infront of Stranger, turned around, and said in a big voice, "HELLO!!" and as if scripted, they all said in return, "HELLO!" with a simotaneous raise of arms. I scurried in the direction of the headquarters, and turned around, and yelled, "FOLLOW ME!!!", instantly, each and every thug hopped down from their places and all gathered behind me. Stranger walked up to me and asked, "what the hell just happened?"
"They're posessed," I said, simply.
"By who?" he asked, turning to look at them.
"Probably by Abe and the other Shaman," said, grinning from ear to ear.
"So, They'll follow us now? He asked.
"wait a sec," I said, turned to the group, and yelled, "FOLLOW HIM!" with both my hands pointing to Stranger. The whole group replied with an "Okay" that could've shooken the whole forest. Stranger looked down at me, smiled.
"You humans are full of surprises," He said, looked back at the group in disbelief, and looked back at me, "So, I say we go storm Freddy's Headquarters, Shall we?" It was funny hearing him say that in his deep voice, but I looked back and said, "Sure, why not?"
He laughed and off we headed to teach Freddy a lesson or two.
"I'm actually glad that you came along," he said, as we walked.
"I'm glad I strangley woke up here in Oddworld," I said. He laughed and patted me on the back, which almost knocked the air out've me.
And all this time, I still didn't know or did I think about.
How would I get back?
heres some quick drawn sketches of the thug, and me, I know the cartoon of me doesn't look that detailed, and I'll add more clothe stuff later, like the belt I spoke of or something, etc..., but I'll get a more detailed one when I have the time. Probably a picture of me in the center and all the OW characters around me
