A Slig’s Truth

Saria turned around so fast she got whiplash, “Abe!” she paused for a second, “I mean, well look who it is the Mudokon terrorist. Above everyone I’d think you’d know not to mess with an armed slig. This is the end for you.”

“But you dropped your gun.”

A weird pause.

“Okay, well I can pick it up.” Which Saria did, lifting the gun up so it was aimed at Abe’s chest, “Any last words terrorist?” “I-I heard what you said.” “About the boiler? Look I’ve been a little depressed, and a ticket out is a ticket out. Anything else?” “I didn’t mean about the boiler.” Abe turned away, the plan seemed much easier in his head. Step one: Find slig. Step two: Tell her you heard what she said. Step three…. That was it, step three wasn’t thought out.

“What are you talking about?” Saria stepped back, nervous, “He didn’t…. Oh please don’t tell me…. I was alone he couldn’t have possessed a slig and walked up to where I was…..” She then waited as Abe turned back around, “I don’t have all day terrorist, ya got about five seconds to….”

“I heard you say that you loved me.”

“You what!?” Saria dropped her gun and backed up, throwing her hands to her shaking head, “No, no, no. You didn’t just say that. I’m so dead, dead as dead gets; the boss is going to kill me, the others sligs will kill me, that is after YOU kill me. I’m so dead. How could this happen?! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! I don’t want…”

“Calm down! Calm down. Everything is going to be okay.”

“Okay? OKAY? Let me tell you something Abe! This is not going to be okay! I’m dead and have unreturned love, how is it that in one day everything falls apart?!”

“Wait! Nobody ever said… the love was unreturned. What am I saying?……”

Munch panted, “I don’t know how I hopped all the way here, down three hallways, around six corners, without running into a single slig.” He ran his hand over a tender bump on his head, “I must have fell down ten times, hit my head on the wall a few times, and banged my head against that bar.” He sat beside the door he was about to go through, “I’m doing pretty good on my own. Haven’t ran into any sligs, scrabs, Interns. *shivers* Interns always creep me out, with those stitched mouths…. Wonder what’s under those stitches…… Doesn’t matter, Vykkers are way creepier.” Munch stood back up and hopped over to the door, opened it, paused, and shut it back while leaning against it.

Sligs… At least twenty sligs all together in the same room.

Munch gulped as he heard voices, “Was that the Gabbit?!” “He appeared out of nowhere!” “The Mudokon terrorist wasn’t there!” “You sure?” “Yeah!” “Getting that Gabbit could mean a promotion.”

“That’s not good…” he whispered to himself as the sound of sligs running echoed through the door. Suddenly the door started to push open, Munch pushed back trying to keep the door shut in vain. Odviosly twenty sligs were stronger than the single Gabbit and pushed the door open, slamming him against the wall. Now he was face down, on the ground, with twenty sligs, three were big bros, aiming guns at him. “Freeze!” They all cried at once, “Great, first I agree to go to the Scrab hold, then I hop around, hit the wall, hit my head on a bar, get smashed into a wall, got caught, and now I have a headache.”

“What did you say?” Saria asked Abe, gun dropped to floor, unprotected, Abe knew if he wanted to he could posses her, destroy her, nothing could stop him…….. Except himself. “What I mean is I don’t even know you that much. I could love you and not know it yet. That wasn’t supposed to come out!” Tension filled the air and neither said anything until something hit Abe in the left shoulder. He reached back where he was hit to fell a warm liquid.

Blood.

A few feet away stood another slig, gun raised, “Missed. Well can’t miss twice. I’m gonna take advantage of that ‘wanted dead or alive’, see ya in the next life!” Once again the slig shot, Abe moved out of the way, and then turned around in horror. Thankfully, Saria also dodged the bullet leaving the bullet only one thing left to hit.

The boiler.

As soon as the bullet penetrated the boiler the gauges around it all started to go out of control, the pressure started to rise in the boiler. “It’s gonna blow!” cried the slig who dropped his gun, turned around, and ran off. “Abe!” Saria cried out as she started to run towards him, “No! Run!” She nodded and started to run towards the exit, “Abe, we’ll meet again, right?” Abe nodded, “I’ll find you.” Suddenly the boiler blew, throwing Abe into a hallway and knocking him out.

Hundreds of miles away, Munch was hand cuffed in Vykker’s Labs, “I didn’t know there was more than one Vykker’s Labs or I would’ve blow this one up too.” He mumbled something under his breath and felt his head, “Did they really have to knock me out to bring me here? Once again I- Wait!” Munch’s left hand easily slipped out of the left handcuff which some Intern must have forgot. He smiled, maybe things weren’t going to end up to bad after all.

Suddenly there was someone yelling outside the door, Munch quickly pretended he was full handcuffed, two Interns came in carrying something. They threw it into a large cage a foot or two from Munch and left, “Let me me out!" She, it was obviously female, started to kick the cage door. Then it fell to its knees, “How could this happen? I knew trying to travel east like that Mudokon Shamen said was risky but... I didn't even go a single mile before getting caught.” It then looked at him gasping, "A Gabbit! I thought there were none left!" Munch shrugged, "Even weirder then that, you're the first Grubb I've eer seen."

Abe stood shakily, just waking from being thrown down and passing out. Explosions were everywhere and parts of the ceiling were caving in and falling. Abe stumbled along clutching his shoulder, until noticing a window. Knowing it was his last chance, his only chance, he backed up then ran forward with all his might and smashed through the window.

Then he was falling, slowly watching as the window he jumped out of got farther and farther away.

Suddenly a bright flash, the yellow polluted sky turned bright blue. Then Abe hit some water, once again passing out. The rest was vague, someone put him on something hard, light talking…. What were they saying?.... Master Hand? Who was that?.... Little did Abe know, but if he was no longer anywhere near Saria or Munch. And if he was going to see either of them ever again, he would have to not only cross miles and miles of land, but space itself.

Mable: And with that ends A Slig’s truth! Rushed, quick, lighter on romance, but splits into to sequels. What happens to Abe will be revealed in Of all our Oddities. What happens to Munch will be revealed in The fisher and the fished! . Both will be up soon if interested.
