Chamomile exclaimed. "Okay, feel for a lever, then--" "--I got it! The ring! Just pull?" "Yes! Pull it! Just pull it!" Suddenly all was dark. "Whew!" Buff puffed. "Get offa me you throw rug!" Canary yelled. "Someone get the lights!" Sulfur yelled. "You called?" Lemon asked, as the room was bathed in the yellow glow of her pitchfork. "Great. But can we get some real lights?" Sulfur said, getting up. "I'll get 'em." Chamomile said, already on her feet. "You're all very lucky." Colonia said, taking the opaque goggles off his eyes. "He was going for the kill, not mind control or hypnosis or anything like that. You were right when you thought he would shut your hearts off--that was his intention." "So what now?" Buff asked. "Well, he can still SEE Yellowhaus," Chamomile said, turning the lights on. "But other than that, he can't make any contact with it." "So will he be able to follow us?" Buff asked. "No." Colonia said. "He's locked into this world. There's no turning back for him now. He has to go through with it--destroying himself in the process. But we've defeated him in a little way--he'll face his doom knowing that he failed to destroy EVERYTHING in the world." "That's a comforting thought." Sulfur commented. "Well everyone." Chamomile said from the control panel. "We transport in 26 minutes. All we can do is wait." "Yeah." Sulfur said. "It's creepy, knowing that guy is right outside!" Lemon said with a shiver. "It's creepy with you in here! Whoop!" Canary said. "Roll over, boy." Lemon said. Canary growled at Lemon with a smile. "So Colonia," Chamomile said, looking the fellow over, "how'd you manage to escape from our friend Mr. O'Riley?" "It's a long story. For now, let it suffice to say that two of my teammates sacrificed themselves that I might survive to tell the tale." "But how did you know to come to Yellowhaus?" Chamomile asked. "I had suspicions about this place. Call it 'weapon's intuition' if you will. I just had a gut feeling you could help us. And as it turns out, you're at least helping me, and maybe through me Libertine Wave can live on." "Well friend," Chamomile said. "We're happy to have another ally on our journey into unknown territory. Let's just hope our flight lasts more than 25 more minutes." "Indeed." Colonia said. "So we are off to another world then, really?" "Really." Chamomile said. "Hmm." Colonia said with a sigh. "The adventure continues." "Except," Sulfur cut in, "all our friends and relatives, and everyone we ever knew, will be dead and gone." "Oh Sulfy! Don't be such a party pooper--this is fun!" Lemon commented. -------> ------------------- ----------- -------- -- -----
