Chapter 12:The End of the Journey, It’s Been a Good Fight
Minion discussed plans with the remains of the once powerful team. “I think we should give up. We have been searching for two months, and nothing. Gengen’s probably hidden in a cave up in Papas. We’re not gonna find sh*t!” he exclaimed angrily, slamming his hand down on the cup of deluxe coffee made for the presidents of IMa, smashing the one hundred fifty dollar mug into one hundred tiny pieces, slicing his hand, and spilling hot coffee all over himself. He didn’t seem to notice. Big Bob nodded. He had been promoted to Vice President of FIMBA Monster Associetion. “It’s no use,” he said slowly, choosing his words wisely, “Gengen is a lunatic. He also happens to be a great guy, so Baxter’s alive. Unfortunatly, he’s also a smart guy, so we won’t find him. There are armies of humans and monsters working together to find him, but it won’t happen.” (BTW, Steele is in the looney bin). Scaler stood up to his feet angrily. “You’re gonna give up a search for our friend Baxter who stuck the whole thing through with us? You’re just gonna forget about him?!” Veins in Minion were like ice, his heart was failing, but Minion forced it to be like ice to, as he said coldly “Yes.” It sounded better and colder than he felt, and he felt even worse when Scaler staggered. Grabbing his heart section, Scaler gasped weezing breaths, gasping “help...” Minion could see that something was truly wrong. He shouted for a doctor, and they rushed Scaler to a hospital. “What’s wrong with Scaler!” Minion shouted. It was no question, it was an order. The doctor tried to sooth him, but he kept demanding. Finally, she broke down and told him that his heart had failed, and that he had gone on and passed away. The ice inside Minion shattered. He would go on with his life living in a large home in IMa’s capitol, but he would never again be the same. And here is where we’ll say goodbye to the Jells. Well, most of them.
*** A sprawled Mr. Freeze body upon a large rock in the deepest part of the jungle. A Phoenix body lay beside him, the fires on him still crackling. A feather fell off, onto Mr. Freeze’s caracass. The feather bore a hole in him, drawing blood. The feather sucked up the blood like a leech. The feather grew fat, then exploded. A red shining thing that can only be described as “Hate” lifted up. It fell on a rock, waiting for it’s victim. *** Gengen clutched the orb of Baxter close to his chest, hiding it under his cloak, in the famous Torble Sea seaport, Barracuda. Life around him was busy, people buying supplies for their journeys, people buying souviniers and t- shirts. He slowly slithered his way to a large ship that was leaving, Jello’s Junk. “YO!” he called, screaming at the Jell captain. The pure Jell walked down to Gengen. “Why, Gen, after all these years, you--” he was cut short by Gengen shoving a hand inside the Jell’s stomach and pulling out his orb, and then placing Baxter’s in there. He then threw the captain’s orb into the water. He led a dazed Baxter (in the captain’s body) inside the ship and told the sailors to set sail. He then bore a hole in the bottom two days later and took a safety boat with a drugged Baxter away at midnight, going toward the island of Gaiu, where he had already been claimed president and was building an army. Gaiu people were mad that IMa and FIMBA ignored them, and wanted to rebel, so Gengen was helping them by being president. It would be slow, but it would be a pleasure. *** Otto froze each member of his army and then himself. His last thought was: When the time comes... *** Mudd was still walking in the jungle, eating animals and enjoying himself in the wilderness. He had seen the smoke from the Phoenix’s dead body, and had come to spit on the flames. As he walked into the clearing with both parts of Burner, he saw a bright red, shiny stone. It had bad vibes...like Hate itself. Maybe it was Hate itself. Still, Mudd was a sucker for bright stones that might cost a lot, so, like the sucker he is, he picked it up. The pain was unbearable. It was like a fire burning inside. His eyes started smoking. He tried to drop it, but it was burned into his hand. There was a fire inside his skull! He was melting! His last effort went toward looking at his hand, and he saw in horror that it had a drawing of a flame carved on it...then he melted. A sickly laugh that sounded a lot like Burner’s echoed through the woods. It was, however, not Burners. The rock melted also and it made a puddle blood red. From the puddle rose a form First the head was oval shaped, like a human’s, and on it there were two terrifying yellow slits for eyes. The mouth was big...but it wasn’t the mouth you noticed. It was the teeth. He had six inch sharp teeth, and they were so big they curved outwards. Next came the body. It was bloodred, and on the back were two dragon wings, the size of a Dragon’s wings. He had Jell-like arms, then the hands were two huge Dragon claws. He was part Jell, part Dragon, part Hate. He was the son of Burner. He smiled a nasty smile. He was Flame.

By Jello on Thursday, September 14, 2000 - 07:05 pm:
Thanks. I take all my pride in Burner and Flame, and that's what keeps me writing. Love your story. :-)
By Jello on Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 05:12 pm:
"Flame" will be up tomorrow, hopefully. (I didn't want to start a new thread just for that). I was expecting it to be here Sunday, but things just didn't work out at ALL. Sorry. Anyway, if it's not tomorrow, it'll be this weekend. I have it all typed, I just have to edit the stupid scenes and copy it onto a disk, so I'm ready to take over the world yet again.

Hmmmm....it seems like you added more sense I last read this one. I did read it somewhere else, but Scaler didn't die in that one. I like it! The one thing I enjoy over all is the fact that there is not just one plot brewing. Otto looks as if he'll pull wildcard duty for a while. I'll guess we'll see.
By CHB on Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 02:53 pm:
....don't ask about my rather noticeable typo....I'm a little off today....
By Jello on Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 04:40 pm:
hmm...I didn't change anything. I'm not a moderator, and this is the only one that I ever posted...you must be kinda mistaken. What typo?
By CHB on Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 06:54 pm:
I guess I read it at the old board...hmmm.....or maybe a serious case of DejaVu(can't spell today)As for the typo, my bad.
By Jello on Friday, October 20, 2000 - 01:31 pm:
Actually...the last chapter posted in the old board was I belive eight or nine. Again, it's probably just what you said (I'm not even gonna ATTEMPT to spell that).
