Chapter 7
The Broaden horizon

“So this bottle... you want me to take it? What is this bottle for?” Peach/Daisy questioned the odd, old lady. She did not know what it was, but the old lady looked like she could be trusted. Can Peach/Daisy truly trust her?
Peach/Daisy kept asking the old lady what the bottle was for, but the lady just stood there, frozen like ice, with a blank expression on her face and her hand outwards, waiting for Peach/Daisy to grasp it.
Peach/Daisy shrugged and leaned over to grasp the bottle from the old lady’s crutches. Just as she was going to make the unfair exchange, Celes-Aeon jumped from the trees that she was hiding from and shouted toward the princess to halt her action at once.
Peach/Daisy stopped and turned around, facing Celes-Aeon’s anxious face. She was puzzled at the appearance of this new person. What was happening here?
The old lady couldn’t stand staying frozen anymore and doing nothing. She undid the cap on the bottle and allowed a sweeping force of mist to suck Peach/Daisy and Celes-Aeon along with her, into the bottle.
Once again, Celes-Aeon was stuck in the misty, bright lit realm, inside of the bottle. Peach/Daisy was there too, right next to Celes-Aeon. Celes-Aeon turned over to Peach/Daisy and asked her if she was okay, but also stated that she could not trust anyone holding bottles.
Upon arrival, they could also hear a loud booming laughter echoing throughout the entire misty realm. From a distance they spotted two others. These two were Amana and Kraquall. They appeared to look quite distress and panicked.
Celes-Aeon did not know why these two were here, but she knew it was best for them to all stick together nonetheless. As Celes-Aeon grabbed Peach/Daisy’s hand and dragged her along with her towards the other two, she suddenly noticed that time stood still.
They noticed off in the distance, that the girl, Amana had pointed over at a hole. Amana quickly jumped into this hole, but Kraquall decided to stay back and take on whatever was coming for him once time moved forward again.
Celes-Aeon and Peach/Daisy had to make their decisions too. Should they jump in the hole before time moved forward, or should they stay with Kraquall and fight against whatever he was fighting against?

Kraquall, already with his weapon out, decided to let Amana jump into the hole as he stayed back to fight against whatever punishment came his way. He did not notice the other two around him, as his only focus right now was the coming of his torture.
Time began to move forward not too long after Amana jumped into the hole. The bellowing laughter of the realm ruler’s voice continued. Then it ceased, as if it knew what had happened. “Fool! Did one of your companions use some sort of time pause ability? How naive! Although I could not do anything during time still, I was still aware of it and still had my thoughts. I forced your thoughts through my thoughts to keep you here. Now, you will receive your harsh punishment!”
Darkness swept over the bright, white atmosphere. Kraquall felt pain overwhelm every part of his body. His soul received a million tiny shards of glass penetrating it. His body was no more, but his soul received its punishment for eternity.
When his soul finally came back to realization of reality, he found himself stuck inside some sort of giant wall. He could not move anything but his arms that stuck out of the wall. These arms and hands couldn’t reach very far though.
There was only one button on this wall that he could reach over to though, and he could only face one direction. The direction that he faced and the sight that he gazed upon was something quite frightening.
It was a giant beast, merged with many figures and forms of beings that once existed a long time before. It was very tall, reaching upwards to the skies. This was, the mega boss of Video Game Evolution!
Right now, Kraquall could not do anything but simply stare at this deadly and gruesome figure. He didn’t know what to do. Should he yell over at it, push the button, or stay still in hopes that something will come to his rescue?

The hole led Amana spiralling down, down, and deeply down further into the ground. She landed into another realm that held a vast variety of all the colours in the rainbow. From purple to green, red to brown, and everything in between and beyond.
In this realm, little men walked around, these men were working hard on some sort of tall wall. The little men were coloured every different colour, just like the realm itself. They spoke some sort of gibberish language to each other, but they laughed, smiled, angered, and grumpy just like any normal person.
Amana wondered where she landed herself in. In the center of the realm, there was a poisonous pond that seemed to grow little by little every minute.
Amana wondered what she should do. Should she approach one of these men or hide? Could they be trusted? Could they be nice?

Big Boss Torn, Ike the Knuckles, Nero Scorpion exchanged a quick glance each before deciding on their direction to seek the Mega Boss. They all agreed to sticking together and heading in the direction of the mountain.
At least if they all stayed together, then it was safer than splitting up. Three against one is a better odd at winning. They carried on and walked over towards the gruesome and monstrous mountain.
While they walked over to the mountain, yet another ghostly figure materialized in front of them. It was the ghostly figure of Squall. He was ready with his gunblade to attack the three all at once.
The three of them certainly stood no chance against this ghost, but should they try fighting him anyway, or run away?

*KABOOM!* A giant blast echoes over the tree tops as it stuck the ghostly figure of Kung fu fighter. It did not inflict any pain or damage to its body though.
Chrono Fantasy the Hedgehog and the Soul of Light sighed greatly. They hoped that there could have been some sort of infliction on this ghost. How can a ghost be killed?
The Soul of Light suddenly had a brilliant idea, but the only way this idea could work was by drawing the ghost over to a very, very dark place. The place had to be utter darkness, pitch black.
The Soul of Light whispered this to Chrono Fantasy the Hedgehog, and off they were, running the opposite direction, searching for a very dark place.

McDarl decided to lure the ghost of Sergeant Cortez away from his current battle scene. Maybe in a new area, the ghostly form will be weakened and less immune to vanish any damage inflicted upon it. It was worth a try at least.
McDarl ran in the opposite direction. The ghost of Sergeant Cortez chuckled and yelled out, “Where are you heading, boy? Do not run away from me. I will certainly check up to you and destroy you!
McDarl did not care either way, he kept running and running. Eventually he came to a wall which blocked his escape any longer. Now he could not go anywhere else and all he had left was fight. Should he try fighting here?

Barrett the Solid Snake and Accel Roughnight were not cowards. They decided to stay and fight against the ghost of Vexxare. The two souls, the Soul of Fire and Soul of Water also decided to stay and fight with these two. They weren’t going to let them have all the fun.
Barrett took out his arm cannon gun and aimed it towards the ghost, while Accel took out his machine gun and also aimed it at the ghost.
The two souls conjured up some magical spells of water and fire and formed these spells into one gigantic and powerful spell. At the same moment, all four of them shot at the ghost. Bullets soared and spells landed. No damage was done but the ghost of Vexxare vanished away before their very eyes.
Barrett the Solid Snake led the airplane lower towards the grounds of the world of Video Game Evolution. He landed the plane safely on the ground in the middle of a road next to some large building.

You have until Thursday, December 10th, 2009 to post up your choice for the next chapter, otherwise your character will die if you do not make a choice by then

Amana chooses c.

Eh.. having a little trouble thinking of something to add, but I don't want to miss the deadline, so I'll just have him search the large building. (choice A)

I wonder how well Ike the Knuckles will a) fight the ghost and survive. I really don't want my character to die. (Near death is okay)

Thanks everyone for your choices. Good, no one dies in this chapter. ^^

I'll start the next chapter as soon as I can. I have exams coming up this week on Mon, Tues, and Wed, so I might be a little busy this week, but I'll try my best. I most likely might finish it up by Thursday or Friday.

fantasy, when is the next chapter?

Wow, it's been a while since I was here, and was wondering the same thing as darkred.
How long has it been? at least six months, if I'm correct.
