Random Fictional Story-Off

[vem]

If you go back to the very beginning of this post you see where Daniel started his own story. I brought him in as a joke and then it just went off. So, he's not the main character, but he's an integral part of the story now.
Still waiting for people to add to the story. **checks watch**

[Match]

Silence falls around us as each of us turn to our own thoughts. Daniel is correct. Everything and everyone has it's fears; so what is this Kraken's fear? What would a giant serpentine with uncountable tentacles, immense razor sharp teeth in several rows, and omniscient eyes be afraid of?
Well first I shouldn't think inside the "box" since my world has been turned twisted and shaken from normal. So... a big mean scary thingwould be afraid of... candy? smiles? clouds? cold? these creepy smili faces?
"Where exactly is this Kraken from?" the tortoise asks suddenly making eye contact with each of us.
"How am I supposed to know?" He can't seriously expect me to know. Me. Me of all people. He expects me to know? "In case you have forgotten I only found out about all of this today. Only hours ago...maybe hours ago." How long has it been? Time hasn't been acting normal ever since I stumbled upon Daniel. Why is it that Daniel could turn back time so easily?
"You are the master." The Prince says as if reminding a forgetful old woman.
"Pardon me and I really don't mean any disrespect against you Prince, but I realize I am the master. What none of you seem to understand is that even though I am the Master I don't actually know anything about your world. I need details from you guys to make a plan."
"I'm not a prince, my name is Prince- like yours is... What is yours?" I can only stare at him. Out of what I just said he only cares about his tittle, or name..whatever.
"My name doesn't matter. Can we focus? What can we do against the Kraken when all I have is straws?"
"Oh," Daniel half raises his hand as if he thought he was in class then realized where he was." you said you also had some paperclips and keys. I also have-" He stands, reaching into his pockets and begins pulling out stuff. "hmm looks like some suckers, pennies, I don't know what this is, a piece of paper that says 'Large may be large, but that does not mean everything else must be as such too'." He shrugs tossing it away like a past thought that no longer mattered. "Anyways looks like I also have a yoyo and a-a well i don't know what this is either."
As the four of them begin yapping away my mind keeps replaying what that paper had said. Large may be large, but that does not mean everything else must be as such too. Why is this important?
"Prince! Do you have any information on the Kraken? Or any body for that matter?"
"Of course we have kept records." He looks confused, and I really don't see why. If we're trying to find out how to take down this thing it makes sense to learn about it. Doesn't it?
"I need to see them right away. Can you point me in the direction to find them?"
"I personally have kept some records from the last time it came 100 years ago and I think Kail does too. He's batty though. As batty as senseless bat."
Setting my jaw to the side I wonder how everyone thinks he's so wonderful and smart.
"Well are we going to go?" I ask sounding confused. I really hate when my words come out that way.
"Oh yes yes I am sorry." We all push away from the table falling in sync behind Prince. Daniel leans over as if we have to whisper; as if all of this was a huge secrete.
"What has clicked?"
"That paper you pulled out-"
"Emily wrote that in history it really-"
"Don't interrupt me when you asked me to explain please." I rub a hand across my face as if that would make this all be a dream. If only it could be. "It doesn't matter where it came from the point is that is makes the pieces click. He's huge, but that doesn't mean that we need something huge to get it away- or dead."

I got dibs on the next installment.

Go for it cannibal....seems like you're on a roll. :-)

[CannibalRapist]

What came next was definitely not expected.
I look back up at Daniel who was sitting there, one leg pulled up onto- a, what?, nothing.. there was nothing there. Absolutely nothing. How was he holding his leg up like that? and how long has he been doing it for?- with his elbow on his knee and his chin resting on his fist. He's really doing the 'thinking man' pose..
Uh okay then.
Well jeesh. Now I have forgotten what I was about to say to him.. damn that pose intriguing me. Why was it intriguing me so much? Hmmm.
All of a sudden his eyes go huge (and I mean huge) and he abruptly turns towards me with an 'I got it look!' plastered on his face.
I stare at him waiting to hear what hes got.
And nothing is happening. Hes just sitting there with that same face, same leg up as if on a stool or something, and still turned toward me. Its like he is frozen there. And I am still gawking at him. Why isn't he speaking? I look down, pursing lips and furrowing brows, pondering all these questions that are boggling my mind.
Without warning he jumps up, almost screaming, "Ive got it!It doesn't matter where it came from the point is that is makes the pieces click. He's huge, but that doesn't mean that we need something huge to get it away- or dead."
I just stare at him bewildered. I'm sure my jaw had dropped.
"What?"
"That's exactly what I... just.. never mind. Did you come up with anything else?"
He must have began his thinking immediately after I cut him off.
"Well..."
Right then Prince barged in. "What is your name?!?! It is killing me. Just tell me please." Hes looking at me with pleading eyes. His face is full of tension as if he were.. were.. uh... I cant even think of the word!
"Just nev..."
"I need to know! I need to.." He drops his eyes first then his head. This must be killing him..
"Uh," He lifts his head superbly fast, Im sure he got some sort of whip lash from that. "you can call me..."
"I got it!" It was whispered sound coming from Daniel. A quite loud whisper, but Prince didnt seem to hear it. "You can call him.. Vincent." There was a slight hesitation there as if he had to think of it, but once again Prince didnt seem to notice as his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth turned up-ward. He reminded me of a young boy coming upon his first tub of Legos.
"Vincent... alrighty then. So Vincent," He looks at me just straight out beaming, then at Daniel. "and Daniel have you guys came up with anything?"
After getting the Tortoise in here I tell them what we had found and asked what they thought.
We werent coming up with anything more.
As we were sitting in silence there was a huge shwoop sound and a big orange and yellow leg slithers through the door, grabbing hold of all four of us. After a while of being carried through this pond the Sea Spider stops. It stretches out the leg that is holding us. There are a bunch of spasms and we are now on a flat surface... still the spiders leg. It then starts to roll us. Back and forth, back and forth. We slam into each other every so often. I bet after this rolling is done I am going to have a ton of bruises.
It was oddly talking to us about something, but in my dizzy, nauseated state i couldn't catch a single thing it was saying, though it sounded like english.
"Sir, can you please stop rolling us?" To say that took all my strength not to vomit.
"Oh, yes, Master." Atleast that's what I think he said.
We are now flying mid-air. We land bone crushingly hard on sand.. I push myself up onto my elbows then onto my butt, sitting cross-legged. I look around. This place looks like a beach... A makeshift beach. How peculiar. Finally I turn to look at the spider that was carrying us. Its got huge legs. Maybe ten of them. All mixed oranges and yellows. Its got a tiny body in comparison to its legs. As Im studying it something below it grabs my attention. It looks like a ginormous whirlpool. And I mean [be]HUGE[/be].
I look up at the spider who is smiling maliciously at me. I've never seen a spider smile...
This just keeps getting more and more queer.
"The time has come Master."
So it really was speaking.
"Uh.. what the hell are you talking about, Sir?"
Did I just call him Sir? What the..? I did earlier also...
"The time has neared, Master, it is time to take on the Kraken and defeat him."
I just stare off perplexed.
"Do you have everything you need Master?" He looks down at me, questionably.
Out of nowhere a pair of Kusarigama appears in front of me. Along with a pair of black knee high combat boots, caribbean-tsunami blue pants made out of a nylon like fabric, and a matching shirt.
I look up at the spider questionably.
"You need to put these one, now."
I start putting the clothes on warily. They actually fit perfectly. The shirt and pants are loose but not too loose and they are tight but , again, not too tight. I find that the outfit is equipped with all sorts of weapons and other thinga-ma-bobs.
"The time is drawing nearer Master. In fact you have about 3 minutes."
I look around to see if Daniel or Prince had also gotten this attire or something.
The spider continues on. "So I will have to throw you into this ginormous whirlpool and that should take you to the Kraken." But I find that the makeshift beach is empty.

Oh, so "CannibalRapist" is "ScarletVixen"... That is why you were asking me to think of a Name and a childhood toy xD.

You guys, I am going to make a thread for this story, so people can read it straight through...

Psht.. what are you talking about Dani?

[vem]

I shout, "NO! I'm not going without Daniel! I may need him to spin again to buy me some time!"
"Dude, relax" It's Daniel standing beside me now. "I'm right here...just had to find a tree to change clothes behind. I'm kind of....shy. Lets go!!"
I look back to see the tortoise giving me a thumbs up and waving. I grab Daniel's arm and we jump into the swirling vortex. We fall in what seems like slow motion and it gives us time to be strategic. "Thank God I was given these weapons" I tell Daniel, "I don't think the straws in my pocket would do much good."
"I know. OK here's what I think we should do...if this whirlpool dumps us right into the Kraken's path, I'll try to distract him while you clobber him with your weapons...try to go for the most vulnerable places...eye's, neck, whatever. Try not to show any fear."
"Well that's brave of you but I....OOF! OW!!" the ground came up faster that I expected, we both landed with a thud. We stood up quickly and looked around. We were on another beach with a aqua blue body of water that was smooth as glass and everything was eerily quiet, like right before a tornado hits. Above us we could see the whirlpool spinning.
Just then the water began to churn and bubble as if boiling. A massive claw broke the surface, then another, then the head of the kraken appeared! It looked a lot scarier than the first time I saw it and I started shaking. "SHOW NO FEAR!" shouted Daniel as he grabbed me by the shoulders and hid behind me. "So much for distracting him you wuss!! quick, run that way!"
Daniel took off waving and yelling. It worked! When the kraken turned its head to look at Daniel I crouched down, then leaped into the air and flew at the huge head and landed on the back of its neck. The monster tried to swat at me like I was an insect, but I managed to hurl one of my weapons and stick it into a gill on the side of it's neck. That took it's mind off Daniel and it began to shake it's head back and forth to throw me off but me and my weapon held tight.
"WAY TO GO!! RIDE 'EM COWBOY!! YEEEHAW!!" shouted Daniel.
I keep thinking about what I said before, "He's huge, but that doesn't mean that we need something huge to get it away- or dead."
"He's huge....I'm small....what is it about something small that is so annoying? A MOSQUITO!!" As quickly as I thought it I maneuvered myself into the Kraken's ear and let out the best high pitched screech I could muster. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"
I quickly grabbed my other weapon and ripped it through the eardrum causing the kraken to let out a horrific wail and shake its head even more violently, which really threw off its equilibrium and sent me sailing through the air. I did my best swan dive into the water and came up to see the kraken flailing and falling backward into the water and sinking, Daniel was on the beach waving his arms and cheering. I swam to shore and shook his hand. "Good work partner." I said. "You did it all man! I just helped." he slapped me on the back. "No, we are a good team my friend. But let's not celebrate too soon, I didn't kill it but I think it might leave us alone for a while so we can go back and put together an army to defeat it completely. How do we get back I wonder?"
"I've got it!" Said Daniel. "You still have those straws right? Let's build a ladder up to the opening of the whirlpool and climb up and see if it will suck us back in."
I shrug as if to say it could work, dig into my pockets and pull out several straws.
