While I was enjoying my time sitting inside the treasure chest, a wooden board carrying a paddle floated beside me. I quickly took the paddle and raised it up. "Wow! A paddle showed up! It's a miracle!" I cheered loudly and then I stood up. "Okay, I got a solid chest and a paddle. Now it's time for exploration! Mission: Pooperoni begins now!" I gripped the paddle and started paddling around the monster's stomach. As I paddled around, I found some useful stuff lying around especially untouched lunch boxes. "This rabbit monster is a food thief! How naughty. I'll be keeping it as punishment. But first..." I took a bit of the food. "Mmm... Yummy. All good." I placed the lunch boxes inside the chest and continued paddling forward. I also found weapon I could use to defend myself. "Oh, a long sword~ Naisu!"
Soon, I found a deep and dark exit. "This is the small intestine, I guess. Looks like it's going to be long path ahead of me." I grabbed a portable torchlight and a rope and tied it to the front of the chest. I switched on the torch and it revealed a long, winding path leading to an unknown place. I had a hard time breathing as the air was thick with the smell of dampness and decay. As I paddled deeper into the unknown path, the path grew narrower and the intestine walls seemed to close in around me. Bzz. Bzz. The torchlight started flickering as if it was trying to alert me of the danger ahead. "This place is really dark and eerie. Every hair on my body are standing. Brrr~" My voice echoed. I jumped as I was startled by my own voice. 'Golly, that nearly gave me a heart attack. But just now, I heard another sound. What was it?' I let out a small sound and my voice echoed the entire place. I closed my eyes and concentrate on another sound. "Shhh..." I heard another weird sound when my voice echoed. 'Yup. There's something there. I heard a slight shuffle around the walls when my voice echoed.' I quickly wore an armor and long sword in case for any monster attack. I took a deep breath and was ready to face whatever before me.
I stopped paddling and let the digestive juice guide me deeper inside the small intestine.
[Rona and Ronald's side]
The cat monster and dog monster inched towards Rona and Ronald, while the rabbit monster stayed behind. As the monsters inched forward, its eyes locked onto them with a fierce and unrelenting gaze. Ronald knew that they were in grave danger, and that they had to act fast if they wanted to survive. Ronald quickly picked up the weapons on the ground, grabbed a big metal shield and stood in front of Rona.
"Stay back, Rona. I'll protect you."
Rona shook her head and said. "Together." Ronald looked at Rona with worry eyes and said. "But -" Rona grabbed something from her back and raised it up in the air. "Tadaa!" Ronald looked at the weapon Rona was holding and asked Rona. "Do you know how to use a boomerang?" Rona looked at the boomerang and laughed. "Boom a rang? What a funny name." Ronald laughed nervously. 'Hick! I want to cry...' Ronald shook his head and said. "No. Now isn't the time to act like a crying baby, I got to firm up. I have to protect Rona until Llyne gets here."
Mimi snickered. "Oh? You still think your 'Mr. Rabbit's food' friend is still alive? Oh dear me... Being in denial won't do you any good you know. Besides, do you think she can survive inside Mr. Rabbit's stomach with a lousy play toy shovel? How hilarious!" Ronald gritted teeth and Mimi continued. "Heed Mimi's words and surrender, alright? Mimi will make sure it won't be painful for you two. Trust Mimi!"
Rona clenched his fist and looked down, disoriented. He knew what she said wasn't true, but some part of him was telling him that it was. He couldn't shake the feeling that Llyne was dead and he was somehow responsible for what had happened. He tried to push the thoughts out of his head, but they kept creeping back in. 'What if Mimi was right? What if Llyne is really dead? And all of it was my fault?'. Ronald felt devastated.
In that moment, Rona spoke up. "Liar liar pants on fire. Mipoo is lying, don't trust what Mipoo said. Looks at her pants, its on fire."
Mimi was enraged and yelled. "What did you just said? Did you just called me Mipoo? And how dare you call me Mimi, a liar. Furthermore, this pants isn't on fire. It's just red in color, you maggot!" Mimi started pressing something on her screen. Then Mimi turned towards Rona and Ronald and smiled viciously. "Let's see if you guys can survive this one."
The cat monster moved closer towards Rona and Ronald. Ronald stood there spiritlessly as the cat monster towered over them. Without thinking, Rona hurled the boomerang at the monster with all her strength. The boomerang missed the target and flew to the sky. The cat monster crashed down on them, luckily, Rona pushed Ronald away and they were able to dodge the hit in time. Rona immediately moved closer to Ronald and called out to him. Ronald lethargically turned his head toward Rona and was shocked when he saw Rona's elbow was injured. He checked Rona's body and found more injuries around her hands and legs. When Ronald asked what happened, Rona looked away and shouted. "It's here! It's here!" Ronald turned and saw the cat monster raised it's paw up. Ronald shouted. "Run!" Ronald quickly grabbed his shield and pulled Rona's hands. However, Ronald knew they couldn't get out of its attack range fast enough so he turned towards the cat monster and placed his shield in front of them. The cat monster's paw swung downwards. Ronald closed his eyes, gripped the shield tightly and hoping for a miracle. All of a sudden, something flew from the sky and sliced the cat monster's head in clean half.
Splat!
The cat monster's blood stained the stadium ground in red. The audience looked at each other in confusion as they didn't understand what had just happened. Mimi, on the other hand was screaming like a spoiled child who lost its toy. Ronald slowly lowered his shield and peeked to see what happened and saw the cat monsters was mysteriously defeated. Ronald cautiously looked around in case there were any traps. Rona, who was standing behind Ronald, picked up the boomerang on the ground and cheered. "Yippie! Boom a rang may not had boom or rang but it sure did a loud splat. Job well done, boom a rang!" Ronald looked at Rona in surprise. "Did Rona threw the boomerang even though she doesn't know what it was and how to use it? Moreover, it actually managed to kill the cat? That need more than just luck to pull that off!"
As the same time, the dog monsters roared. Ronald turned and he could see the fury in its eyes. Ronald raised his shield again and said. "Let's do this, Rona. If we're together, nothing can stop us!" Rona grabbed a huge axe and said. "Yosh!"
Mimi cried. "Kill them, Mr. Dog. Revenge for Mr. Cat!"
The dog monster howled and a surge of force blasted at Rona and Ronald.
"It feels stronger than before."
The dog monster charged towards Rona and Ronald.
"Here it comes! Get ready, Rona!"
Bang! Clang! Shiik!
The battle was long and fierce, we were feeling fatigue. Ronald's body were barely holding onto the shield, defending against the attacks. While Rona's hands holding the axe were in tremendous pain but they did not give up and continue to fight the dog monster. As time passes, it felt like the monster was getting stronger and stronger. Its massive teeth and claws ripping through the air like a deadly scythe. Ronald tried his best to block the attack from hitting Rona as she continues to strike the monster. But Ronald knew that he couldn't keep this up for long. Therefore, Ronald used his remaining strength and bashed the shield against the monster. The shield bash hit the monster and created a loud thud, causing the creature to stumble back temporarily.
Using the chance, they fought the monster with every energy they had left in their body. They dodged and weaved, striking the dog monster as hard as they can. Finally, Rona landed a critical hit to the monster's heart and causing the monster to fall to the ground with a deafening thud. The monster was finally defeated and the stadium erupted into cheers. Ronald and Rona dropped to the ground, feeling numbness all over their body.
However, that wasn't the end for Ronald and Rona as there was one more monster to face. The rabbit leisurely hopped closer towards them and bared it's two front teeth. Ronald and Rona looked at the monster and held each other hands tightly.
