Planet Heck: Early Bird Gets the Worm

[Vize Viper]

Falco's method was a little less... rambo-esque. With a spin, Falco kicked his Reflector at the group of Snowmen in front of them, considering they were between him and his SHIP!

Only three of the MANY snowmen were destroyed to snow bits by Slippy's efforts, and one snowman managed to leap its upper body, over the reflector. But they must understand, there's an army of them, like over three dozen. And boy are they gonna get it as the snowmen inhaled and fire a barrage of fireballs.

"I'm sorry, but I'm only a lawyer!!" the woman took a break in the opposite direction, down the slope. But she was caught in the fireballs blasting the area around her, screaming in pain as Mia stumbled on the ground. [rand=39759356618164654965392865357759579279892013122488776604716315953]

Well, the last thing Slippy was expecting was for the snowmen to spit fireballs. This place was just getting weirder and weirder... not to mention more and more dangerous.

Slippy got hit by two of the fireballs, but managed to dodge the other three (abiet once by a very close margin). Thankfully, his outfit was flame-retardant, so besides the pain from the inital hit, all that lingered from the attack was a bit of soot on his suit.

Not wanting to give the snowmen another chance to attack, he quickly went to work trying to reload his blaster.

"Falco! Back me up here!"[rand=91089652708103547890726302904982098729698215248910409097792800315]

Falco, on the other... wing, managed to not get hit at ALL... by jumping over the whole volley.

And while he was up there, he started firing at the snowmen with his blaster.

The shots only missed some of them by a shoulder as a piece of theirs were blasted. But one was not lucky as the laser ripped it to pieces. But Falco would find that retaliating like this will make things worse, as two more in the place of that snowman arose from the ground.

The army snowmen grinned as they all marched towards the space duo like marching soilders. How are they able to make that rhythmic stomping sound without feet? Well, on in the back was carrying a boombox, playing that sound. [rand=4345964723181125487527233021992261063247134242878590994465418674]

After a little more fiddling, Slippy finally managed to load a new clip into his blaster. He quickly brought it back up... Only to find that there were even more snowmen now, and they were quickly approaching the duo. It was becoming more and more obvious that brute force was not going to cut it here, and with their ships on the opposite side of the snowmen, they couldn't even just make a hasty retreat.

"Uh... Falco?..." Slippy inquired, slowly trying to back away, "You got any ideas?"

[Vize Viper]

"Not really. It's startin' to look like we're screwed." Coming from Falco...

This is a VERY bad sign.

[AnT]

Making a retreat away from the army wouldn't do much good, for more snowmen came up from behind, with a unconscious Mia in tow. All the snowy creatures charged right on the Starfox crew and lifted them over their heads, keeping their arms behind their backs.

"To the loooord!" one snowman cried, like a reverend of a church. "Phraaase da king of demons! Ye-Yaaah!"

And like a stampede, the snowmen charged down the cliff-path, carrying their captures. A long way they went, traveling down the red earthy 'bridge' that crossed the sea of smoky fire.

Finally, the snowmen arrived at the end, gathering around some jaggy pillars that looked like a throne. The earth-made throne was carved to look like a demon-face with sharp teeth.

A green little flame sat on the throne.

And soon, the snowy and cold men dropped the Starfox crew, and the dazed lawyer before the throne.

[SHM 128 III]

Slippy hit the ground face-first as he was dumped before the throne. After a moment of lying motionless, the amphibian lifted his head off the floor, adjusting the small hat on his head in the process.

"Pst... Falco..." Slippy whispered, "Are you okay?"

[Vize Viper]

The bird just grumbled, shifting himself up to one knee.

"Yeh, I'm fine. Just a bit annoyed I got whooped by a buncha Christmas decorations."

[AnT]

Green fire on the cat demon-like throne suddenly exploded with roaring thunder that startled the snowmen. The green flames towered, flaring wildly and dangerously, as it began to form shape...a shape of....this....



"So..." it spokee with hundreds of voices screeching in nearby ears. "You are the outsiders who dares trespass my wondrous realm? Do you think you are mighty enough to step foot here, foolish mortals? Those who dares shall pay the ultimate price; a evil price that no mere mind can ever muster. Heheheheh..."

[SHM 128 III]

"... ... ..."

*piddle*

[Vize Viper]

"..."

Falco was not impressed. In fact, he let out a yawn at the display, even drawing his blaster and looking it over.

"Yeah, yeah, we've heard this kinda stuff before. You gonna lose the pyrotechnics and let us see who we're dealing with, or am I gonna have enough time to take a nap?"

[AnT]

"SILENCE!!!!!!!" The creature's flaming body roared like a wall of fire.


Some of the snowmen surrounded the bird, fire licking out of their mouths. Just in case Falco tries anything, they'll fry him on the spot.

"I am EVIL, the living flame of this planet, the inferno of vileness, the symbol of malfeasance....[/font]and not a cat....*ahem*...NOW!!!! Behold, for your internal torture shall begin!"

And like a game show host, "Tell them what they won, Vanna!!!"

"Well, Evil," the snowman...or snowwoman respond, standing like a female, and next to a large red curtain. "Our froggy guest will be staying at the popular Pit of Eternal Torment!"

From snowmen, they applause.

The curtains rolled away, revealing a picture of Slippy falling through wooden...spikes. "There, he will find the time of his life as he'll fall into a deep pit of sharp table edges, shredding his very flesh before he knows it."

Some of the snowmen gave wolf-whistles.

The picture replaced itself to a image of Slippy being electrocuted in some purple tunnel. "From there, he'll be taking hiking trip in the tunnel of Static-rugs; generating many electricity through his slimy body; 3,500 volts of it."

The snowmen hooted like men in a bar.

"And of course..." Another picture appeared, with Slippy standing in line with the most deadly monsters every thought up. "For the rest of his internal life, our froggy friend will wait in line in the most longest line in a DMV office. Careful not to cut this line, for these DMV customers will likely rip and crush your bones like chicken."

And the snowmen cheered.

"And as for our parrot contestant..." the snowwoman pulled the curtains, revealing a picture of Falco's...head in a roasted turkey over a bonfire. "He'll have the great privilege to be our lord's dinner...cooked with the finest wine know to the universe. Bon appetite, my lord."

The snowmen cheered wild.

"And as for our dearest lawyer friend lying down there..." the snowwoman went up to the unconscious Mia, poking her. "Hmm...we'll get back to her."

[SHM 128 III]

Although he was still trembling in his (now soiled) pants, Slippy managed to build up the guts to mutter one line of protest against his tormentors.

"Static electricty doesn't work that way..."
