LEGENDS OF CARABU: ATTACK OF THE BULBINS
CHAPTER 4:
THE RETURN OF ARIZ RAZEN
When the man pulled off his deep purple cloak, Joey gasped.
“In my name, I swear, I will kill them both… I swear on the name… of Ariz Raven!” said Ariz Raven.
"Ariz!" Joey yelled.
"Shhh!" Savannah whispered.
"Oops." Joey covered his mouth. But it was already too late.
Ariz craned his neck. "There! There are our targets! Bulbins... ATTACK!"
Joey and Savannah whipped out their weapons as the Bulbin army rushed them.
They fought and fought for what felt like hours, but was merely a matter of minutes.
"They're too strong!" Savannah yelled. She was still mad at Joey, but her anger was easing up.
"We need to retreat! We'll have to get to the antidote some other way!" Joey repiled loudly.
Joey and Savannah both looked at each other and nodded.
"1..." they started simultaneously.
"2..." they said.
"3!" Joey and Savannah both leaped back and ran through the cave in the wall of the Bulbin fortress.
"No!" Ariz Razen stood pointed at the hole in the wall. "Don't let them go, you fools! After them!" he screamed.
Joey and Savannah ran for their lives to the narrow end of the cave. They squeezed into the hole and crawled to the end of the tunnel.
When they emerged, they ran as fast as they could (not very fast, because they were so tired of running and crawling and running again) back to Joey's house, where they saw Zelda and Abigale, each lying on beds, their faces green and blank.
"We need to get back there and find the antidote." Joey said.
"No kidding, Sherlock." Savannah said.
"Uh, I'm pretty sure it's no shi-" Joey started.
Savannah interrupted with, "Anyways!" She turned to Joey. "I know we need to go back, it's obvious. But how can we sneak in there? That Ariz Razen guy knows about the way in through the cave in the wall."
"Yeah, and he knows a lot more things." Joey sat on Abigale's bed and looked down at his feet.
"What do you mean?" Savannah asked.
Joey explained his whole adventure to Takami and Xeno. How he knows Ariz Razen, how he fought Ariz Razen, how Ariz Razen has magical abilities. "He can probably find us almost anywhere in that fortress, and-" Joey suddenly stopped and gasped softly.
"What is it?" Savannah asked.
"Joey!" Joey suddenly exclaimed.
"What?" Savannah asked again.
"Joey the Bulbin! He's a passive Bulbin. He hides out in the fortress with a few others, and he has a girlfriend named Savannah, and friends like Abigale and like some other friends of mine! He has the same life as me pretty much, only in a fortress hiding from fighting and he's a Bulbin!"
"Ok, I'm a little lost, but I think I get your point. Are you saying we follow them into the fortress?" Savannah said.
"Yeah! They haven't been caught yet, and I don't think even Ariz can find them. Should we do it?"
"Well...." Savannah questioned it in her head. "We can always try!"
Joey punched the air. "Let's go then!"
*********************************
Joey and Savannah had made it to the Bulbin fortress unharmed (apparently the Bulbins hadn't followed them out of the fortress, since apparently they can't fit through small tunnels), and they were circling it looking for Joey and his Bulbin friends. Eventually, they found a small hole big enough to just barely look through in the wall. Joey peered through.
Inside, he saw a group of Bulbins huddled in a circle around a tiny fire, just big enough to put off a small amount of heat, which wasn't really that great, because it was freezing outside.
"Savannah! That's them!" Joey whispered. "Joey! Hey, Joey!"
A Bulbin who was very distinguished from the others turned around.
"It's me! Joey!" Joey (the human) whispered. Joey (the Bulbin) gasped. "Hey, we need some help. Can you come out and show us how to get inside? I'm with my girlfriend (you know, Savannah), and our friends need an antidote that should be in the fortress. Think you can help us out?"
Joey the Bulbin nodded, and quickly explained to his Bulbin friends about their human counterparts, then came outside to show Joey and Savannah the humans inside the fortress.
When inside, Joey the Bulbin introduced Joey and Savannah the humans to their Bulbin counterparts. Joey could now see how distinguished these Bulbins looked from others of their kind.
"Ok, so we need an antidote to the poison on the army's arrows." Joey said when everyone was back around the fire. "Does anyone know where the antidote is? What it looks like? Anything about it? Cause we need at least some kind of lead."
Everyone shook their heads except for the Bulbin Abigale. She spoke up. "I've heard about it. I think it's in the dungeon somewhere. It's pretty empty in there. We'd know. It should be easy to find."
"Alright. That's the most we've got. Does anyone know where the dungeon is?" Joey asked.
Everyone nodded.
"Ok! Then let's head out!" Joey leaped up. "Lead the way, guys!"
The Bulbins led Joey and Savannah around the fortress, avoiding guards and traps left for the rebel Bulbins by Ariz. They ended up at a metal grate. The Bulbins slowly lifted it up to reveal a dark staircase leading down into the dungeon.
"Well... I guess this is it, guys. And girls." Joey the human said as he looked into the darkness.
"Yep. That's the way into the dungeon." Joey the Bulbin said.
"Alright. Let's go then." And they walked into the darkness together.
