From: £unar §aber™ <I'm@the.edge> Subject: [PW!] A Sinking Feeling (Followup to 1001 Gyarados) Date: Monday, August 16, 1999 2:48 AM "...zZzZzZzZzZz..." "SABER WAKE UP!!" "AHHHHH!!!" Saber woke up with a start and looked around. Over to his left was a group of people standing around a car and eating pizza. To his right was a group of Gyarados, playing cards in a lake. Saber shook his head and looked at his watch. "AIEEEEE!! I'VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR A MONTH!!!" "It's about time you woke up!" Steve yelled "We've been trying to get you up for weeks!" "Sorry, um where were we in the story?" Saber questioned. "Right about here..." Steve replied. > The Gyarados which had been the first of hundreds of individual Magikarp to >evolve was now defeated. Now dead. All that effort was meaningless, >pointless. His life had met its highlight and its end on the same day only >minutes apart from each other. But he was merely the first such one of his >kind >to come. And if it took that much time and team work to take down just one >individual Gyarados, then Steve and his friends knew they were in trouble. > > And from the depths of the water, several more Gyarados began to slowly >emerge. > Suddenly, one Gyarados has a sudden burst of strength and flies out of the water at high speeds towards Saber. He screams and shoots at the Gyarados with his last remaining bullets. Having scales tougher than steel, the bullets bounce off the Gyarados. It flies directly at Saber and crashes into him, sending him flying backwards and crashing onto SPAWN, Steve's rob-car-thing. "Hey, watch it!!" Steve screams. "You. Off. Now." SPAWN says, and electrocutes Saber. "AIIIEEEEEEE!" Saber jumps up and lands in front of the car, ready for battle once again. He notices the Gyarados eyeing him. "That's it, buddy, now I'm mad. UV-ultra, I choose you!" Saber goes to pull the Pokeball containing UV-ultra, the "slightly-altered" Gyarados from his belt, but is stopped halfway when the Gyarados that attacked him did so again, this time biting into his leg and dragging him high into the air. "AHHHH!!" Saber screams as searing pain shoots through his leg. The Gyarados makes a wide arc and heads back for the lake. "Oh my God--" Saber is cut off as he is forced underwater by the Gyarados. The Gyarados dives down to the bottom of the lake with Saber still in his jaws, past Magikarp, Staryu and Horsea. It finally rams Saber down into the soft muddy bottom of the lake. The Gyarados then quickly swims back up to the surface. Back up top, Karen is talking with Steve via SPAWN's speakers and Steve's Pokedex. "Steve, shouldn't we help him???" Steve responds "Nah, it serves him right for waiting a whole month to finish the story. Besides, he'll be fine. A little drowning never hurt anyone." By now, the Gyarados has reached the surface. It pops its head out of the water, and sets its sights on another figure along the coastline. Steven Fugues. TBC? ---- Author's notes: I know I'm late. shuhup. -- £§™
