Well It's about time I began writing again. I'm a little more busy this year so updates won't be as frequant.

Murder Market II

Chapter One
Finding Abe

Finklar's Airship drifted away slowly as Germ watched from his bedside window. But unlike most, no black smoke was billowing trailing behind or any slaves pulling levers and pulleys. It was an odd sight after seeing so many normal ones. He shifted his head to lie on his back but this caused a quick burst of pain. Wincing, he grabbed a painkiller and stopped it in his mouth. As he closed his eyes he fell into slumber with light snores.

Finklar was standing in front of the ship, with wind blasting into his face. Straining to keep his eyes open, he looked across the landscape. No factories were to be seen except a recently shut-down one that had yet to be removed. Sailing towards it with almost full speed, in hopes that Abe would be nearby. It would take about 1 hour to get there. As they neared Finklar spotted a dot on the horizon. A blue dot. "That way!" Shouted Finklar over the billowing wind. The airship captain had gotten the message as it sailed towards Abe. Abe became increasingly larger as the airship began losing altitude. Once it landed Finklar strode off the ship toward Abe, who in turn walked toward Finklar.
"What are you here for?" Asked Abe slightly bemused.
"The Raisen is still missing." Answered Finklar.
"I was already looking for him. But I don't have any leads." Said Abe glumly.
"Well I'm here to help." Said Finklar in a sort of It-Will-Be-All-Right voice, despite thaat Finklar had no ideas either.
"Maybe it'll be easier in Vykker's Labs. There's a bigger veiw there." Said Finklar thoughtfully. Then it struck him the the green creatures seemed to know just about everything. Perhaps they knew.
"What about those green things we met! They might know!" Said Abe's face which had now lit up with excitment. Apparently, Finklar wasn't the only one who had thought of this.
"Yeah. But we need Germ with us. We'll go back and get him." Said Finklar.
"Ok." Said Abe as he boarded the airship. As it slowly rose, they made their way back.

Bet you people didn't see that coming.

Yay! I get to comment first!

This looks good. I'm going to read the next chapter for sure when it get's here. Now I'm off to read the last chapter of number 1 to refresh my memory of what happened.

OddYouko · #3 10-25-2008, 10:01 AM

Yay! The three amigos return! lol

Yeah I gotta refresh my memory on what happened last too.
Awesome that you started a second one Oddey! xD

Incidently I had to refresh my own memory before writing the first chapter.

Chapter 2

Germ's Rouse

The airship made it's way to the enourmos ship that was Vykkker's Labs. The interns at the docking bay were mumbling to each other as it aproached. After landing Finklar and Abe set off through Vykker's Labs, with Abe going slightly slower as he had no idea of the way. At long last, after climbing about 4 levels, and walking through several rooms, the pair got to the infirmary where Germ was snoozing along with the almost unnecsessary guards. Deciding it best to let Germ rest, Finklar sat down on a nearby stool. Abe followed suit. Germ woke up after about 10 minutes. When he saw Finklar and Abe he sat bolt upright, wincing. This hadn't gone too well with his wound. Finklar then examined Germ.
"If you feel ready, you can get up and about now I think." Said Finklar. Germ then slipped into a pair of pants and moved forward cautiously. Nothing. Going into a casual walk. Still nothing. Satisfied, Germ asked "So what are we going to do now?"

A distance away from the forest, Finklar, Germ and Abe strode off the airship, heading into the forest. After a short walk, they had reached to brim. Abe looked through the trees, and shook his head after a short search.
"Doesn't really loook like anything's in there at the moment."
"They'll find us... I hope." Muttered Finklar, as they marched straight through the underbush.

An hour or so of searching gave nothing. Another half hour was also fruitless.
"How did we find them last time?" Asked Abe.
"They found us." Replied Finklar, "I wish they'd do it again."
"I think they have..." Said Germ.

Finklar wheeled around and found about 50 of the green creatures.
"You've been looking for us." Said the leader blandly.
"Yes... And we'd like to ask where the Raisen may be?"
"We can only reveal so much. The vaguest idea is all you will be provided with. The western Mudos. Look to the city."
"Why is he there?" Asked Abe looking clueless as to why the Raisen would be in such a place. But just as he asked it the creatures seemed to dissapear.

GlacierDragon · #5 10-31-2008, 07:10 AM

The Raisen is is being kept in a city? I wasn't expecting that. The green creatures sound a little mysterious. They certainly seem to know a lot. More please.

OddYouko · #6 11-04-2008, 01:52 PM

The Raisen in a city? Cool!

Serves him right for always falling asleep in conversations.

Can't wait for the next chapter!

Nice article, waiting for your next article on the board

Oddey · #8 11-16-2008, 09:28 AM

... I lost the paper with my plotline on it... Very bad luck, espicially since it has most likely been thrown out. Even worse I can't remember it. Except for the very general idea. I wish I had written it down on a word document... I'll have to change the plot a good deal and end up making it up as I go along... But at least I can partially remember it.

GlacierDragon · #9 11-16-2008, 10:15 AM

Oh no! I really hope you get it sorted out. I hate it when things like that happen.

OddYouko · #10 11-16-2008, 10:40 AM

Darth Vader: NOOOO!!!!

D= Aww poopie.
I also hope you get it all sorted out.

After such a long time without any update I have decided I may want to leave this for later. I just can't bring myself to actually make this story happen. So Glacier Dragon, OddYouko and the invisible crowd I give you my sincerest apologies that this will not be continued for a while. So you can all stop holding your breath for the next chapter because It's not gonna happen for a long time. I'm sorry. I've just lost my interest in this story whilst attempting to do several other things including GameMaker, Anvil Studios, reading The Lost World, and getting good grades at school.

This fanfic has been on my mind for a long time... A long time... And I just can't get through like I could with the last one. Maybe one great day I'll rise up and finish it, but until that day comes, you will all have to live without this. (Sniffles) It's hard to let go of this but I just can't do it.

GlacierDragon · #12 11-29-2008, 03:54 AM

*sigh* Not to worry. I hope you do continue this in the future though. I was loking forward to seeing what happens.

OddYouko · #13 11-30-2008, 11:15 AM

Yeah I hope ya do too. =)
I'll be waiting for that great day!...But until then -hides in dark corner-
