Wait, What Now?
Chapter 6- New Assignments Part 3
Gem was pissed.
There was no other word that could describe it. Oh sure you could use angry or mad or maybe even irate, but they simply didn’t just hiss off the tongue like pissed. Gem’s glare could literally have blasted a hole all the wat through Mount Everest. He chewed his lip until it was nearly bleeding. The taste of his own blood only drove him madder. A groan from the pile of turtle-dragon-thing slowly dying in the corner. Gem hawked a loogie at it.
“Shitty job… Shitty kidnappers… shitty tower… Shitty hero… WHERE THE HELL IS HE!!!”
Gem crossed his hairy legs and roughly adjusted the front of his super tight pink frilly dress. He blew a few blonde curls of the wig out of his green eyes. He stewed some more. If he could any angrier, his wig would have caught fire.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and oddly accented voices drifted across.
“Do ya thinka she’sa in there?”
“She’sa got ta be, brotha! Let’sa go! Waha!”
The thin wooden door was blasted open by a fireball, and two men burst into the top room. One was tall, skinny, and dressed in a green shirt and cap with overalls; the other was short, fat, and dressed in a red shirt and hat with similar overalls. Both mean had outrageous mustaches, and… was that a dude with a mushroom head just outside the door.
The short red one took a few steps towards Gem, white gloved hand outstretched and lips puckered for a kiss. “Aha! Princess! It’sa me-a! Ma-OOF!”
Gem drove a palm into the man’s face, pivoted on his slipper-bound heel, and hurled the man out of the window. “Enjoy starting from Level One, bitch.”
He turned his attention to the tall one and mushroom-headed one, green eyes glinting dangerously. The man took a step back and shoved his friend out in front of him before hopping on the back of a green dinosaur and riding down the stairs. Gem grabbed the mushroom-headed man by the neck and bit off part of the man’s mushroom.
“I feel so damn powerful!” Gem yelled as he felt his muscles swell and grow. He snapped the man’s neck and hurled him out the window, laughing. “AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!”
