Chapter 53 - The Next Guardian issue # 53

Why Ragnarok (Sega_Man7) wasn't happy to be back on Zoness (Sega_Man7) soon became clear. Linda-Su spotted it first. A wanted poster. “Um, pardon me, Ragnarok?” she asked. “Yes?” “Um, why didn't you tell us you are wanted for trying to slay the Eel monster?” Ragnarok, Mariic (Sega_Man7), and Gaia (Sega_Man7) all turned pale. “You mean…” She snatched the paper from Linda. “Aw no.” she threw the paper down. “I thought this would have blown over.” She shook her head. “I'll explain, but first we need to get to high ground.”

Ekyt, more than a little angry after being transported to this wacky place, caught up to Gaia. “Why do we have to go somewhere high?” “So we don't get killed by the tidal wave that's about to his this place.” Mariic snarled back.

“Aw crap, I can't swim that great…” Ekyt's shoulder was still soar from the fight. He started to get rid of his mask, but was stopped by Ragnarok. “Don't take it off! It's poisonous here! Gaia, Mariic, and myself are native and have adapted to the pollution. That's why we don't need any. But I don't know what it would do to a human…”

Gaia walked quickly to catch up to Ragnarok. “Shame we didn't finish that Eel monster off…You look cute.” The comment had just blurted forward. “No, you look beautiful” Mariic said as he moved on Ragnarok's other side. Ekyt jumped in between all of them. “Enough. Settle your love problems later. We need to get shelter, not to mention get off this goofy planet. How do we do that anyway?”

Mariic answered. He really didn't like this human. He was to close to Ragnarok… “Gaia can transport us back. Unfortunately jerk can't control the power, so you're stuck here.” Gaia turned at that “YOU…insulting ME! That's a good one. Who's idiotic idea was it to try to kill that thing-let me think…um…hold on, I'll get it…YOURS!” The two fought until Ragnarok broke it up. “I'm not going to pick either of you until you settle down! Right now, we've got bigger problems than you two having a macho-off to get my attention! Wait, what was that…”

A huge, grey colored thing jumped at them. Mariic and Gaia dove for cover. Ekyt got Ragnarok out of the way and then dove with Linda-Su. The huge thing went limp upon impact. “What was that thing?” Ekyt asked. “Dust devil. They are the product of the pollution here.” Mariic didn't seem as hostile after Ekyt saved Ragnarok.

“It's not dead!” Gaia yelled as Linda-Su fired her crossbow (See issue 10- N.G.)into it. It didn't affect the creature, except make it madder. It snatched Linda-Su as she fired determinedly into it's huge fuzzy body. “Hey, let go of my girlfriend!” That made Linda-Su stop firing. Aw man, that didn't come out loud, did it? He crouched and jumped and threw a kick into the creature. “Aim for it's face!” Yelled the three others. Blaine (Mr_Gimp), who had been relaxing, finally had enough. “Chaos Blast!” He fired it at the creature. It singed Ekyt and Linda-Su too. The creature set on fire.

Ekyt freed Linda from it's grasp as his coat and her dreadlocks slowed his descent. Ekyt turned to Blaine. “Thanks for the save, but next time wait until I'm out of the way.” Blaine frowned. “This isn't my problem. It's yours.” Stupid human.

“The way I see it, it's your problem, too. You're stuck here.” The hedgehog glared back at him. “Chaos control!” Nothing happened. “What? I can't get out of here.” He turned back to Ekyt. “We'll do this your way.” The group ran for cover.

The wave was coming…
