//------------------------------// // Chapter 16 - The best way to survive, my butt! // Story: A series of unfortunate events that leads to another redeemed villain, yay! // by Leondude //------------------------------// Stormy woke up, hoping him getting betrayed by Sanies was just a bad dream. But it wasn't and the reality was much worse. "NOT AGAAAAIIIIN!" he said in whatever language chickens speak. He decided to explore this new, and very big, world in a futile attempt to look for shelter. When it got to nighttime, he managed to walk into a forest. Needless to say, he was lost, hungry and very, very cold. "Well, it can't get any worse" Considering he heard wolves howling the moment he said that, and one of them right behind him staring at him with the intent to eat him, clearly his already worse situation got a whole lot worse. While running for his life, he thought to himself whoever it was that turned into a chicken (he thinks it's probably Discord as revenge for him stealing his magic) must have a sick sense of humour if they intended for him to be eaten by wolves in this universe. But before the wolf chasing him can make him into supper, a dark purple one-armed ape thing karate kicked the wolf right in the face. Stormy looked in awe as the purple ape fought an entire pack of wolves, but as he watched, he noticed the ape looked a little familiar. Along with wearing all black, she had a pink mohawk and a scar across her face, as well as blue beautiful eyes. Where has he seen those features before? Then a dark get hedgehog with white spikes waked up to him. "She's awesome, isn't she?" "Huh?" "Oh, you're wondering how I speak chicken. I work for this guy, calls himself The Farm King, he's in the middle of a big rebrand. Gives loads of cake" Stormy looked at the hedgehog in befuddlement. Not only did he look familiar, but he has the same list as that hedghehog thing that's always seen with Tempest. What was his name again? Flubber? Goober? Looper? "Say, is it me or do you look a little bit like The Farm King?" the hedgehog asked. That's when it hit Stormy. "Grubber! Old buddy, old pal! Hey, do you know how to get out of this world?" "Well, The Farm King has been investing in space travel powered by methane gas" "What?" Clearly Stormy's hope of this being the same Grubber that worked with him back when he had a kingdom to rule vanished. Then he looked back at the purple ape thing that suspiciously looked like Tempest. "And who is the tall purple one-armed ape thing that is kicking all the wolves' butts?" "Oh, no-one knows her real name but we call her Tempest Shadow, because she strikes like a Tempest but hides in the Shadows" Stormy just looked on in disbelief, how is it that in this world, Grubber and Tempest can defend themselves, but here, he is a defenseless chicken?! But he decided to suspend his disbelief in order to see this Farm King this Grubber was talking about.
