Perils of Kaitland One day, while Carolina slept, she had indeed some strange dreams.. dreams of blue gorillas and strange paradoxes.. as the Neverrest continued on a journey where even Speedster had his doubts about... especially the times Casey was kicked out of the shower Lightwave used.. and the times Halifax couldn't keep himself together... when she woke up in a vast, empty place.. where there was nothing but brightness and one blue gorilla she recognized.. though he hadn't been heard from in a while. "Hello, Carolina. I am Cornball. Hear me roar.", he said, as he approached Carolina from where she was.. "Do you notice anything different about you? For I was lucky enough to spirit you from this place.. to have something I've made tested on you personally. " "What do you mean, Personally" , Carolina said as she got up.. and found herself in the most ridiculous, dollike garb she'd ever worn.. and believe me, she had worn some crazy outfits in the day. "Something I call you ain't getting out of this one.. for I want to create an outfit that can't be destroyed by conventional means.. especially for military purposes in strange realities. And I will be doing a lot of experimenting on you." "Really", she said, as she like tried to take it off, but found it very hard.. and giant buzzsaws started going around the area as Cornball said.. "By the way.. I saw your 'movie'.. and I thought it was the bomb." "Really, indeed." And with that, cameras also appeared as reality began to shift in wherever cornball was..as he yelled "ACTION!!" THat day, Speedster, still personally examining the area around him.. said "Well, somebody managed to get past our security systems.. but man, why Carolina?" Casey replied.. "Because I think she's had a lot on her mind lately.. especially considering what Argon did when he came by.. she thinks there's something wrong with a few of us we can't really describe." Long-glory replied as he wandered in, wondering what was happening to Wilson that he couldn't describe himself.. "I can't help but wonder about things myself... but If I ever find out what on my watch how Carolina was taken.. I will personally indeed.. go after them." Speedster said.. "Allow me.. I think I can handle this one... and maybe I could find out what's going on with this disappearance. Give me a scan of the disturbances around this ship... and maybe we can get Wilson to go there.. If he's going to be ok." Casey replied.. "I've a bad feeling Wilson will never be fully ok." --- Meanwhile, in the darkness of the place, Cornball was apparently satisfied.. laughing at how much Carolina was managing to survive.. and noting indeed how many of the things that tried to cut her were personally, indeed, not having much effect.. as well as many of the bruises she'd occured. "Cornball", said Carolina though muffled.. "THis isn't very funny.. I'm too cute for words." "Well", Cornball said.. "It doesn't matter to me.. a fabric that would be very hard to destroy could allow a lot of my friends to travel not just incognito, but also, indeed.. to exist in worlds where reality might be against us.. for we someday should be able to conquer all creation.. even the universes I know Kingston once felt we weren't able to go, until Daftec showed us otherwise.. Indeed, thousands of planes of reality, even by alphabetical means...that few would realize could be there." "Well", said Carolina.. "I'm very much not interested in wearing this as I NEED to go to the bathroom once in a while." "Sure you do", Cornball said, as another massive saw dropped from the sky.. and almost grazed her. ---- While the ship was docked on the planet Terzel Xerxes, a place familiar to Carolina and some of the others.. the one Carolina was on... Casey managed to get near the place and said, often.. "Man, the memories". Speedster replied, "Well, I hope indeed that we can get through this.. because last time I swear it wasn't too appetizing considering how that pirate got ate by Renegade at the end, when we were here last. And that ship I see before me, it's kind of creepy." "That", Casey said.. Is indeed a creepy thing.. piloted by a madman who personally has vendettas of legend. I just hope we don't mess things too much up when we go in here." "Well", said Speedster.. "I'm going in there.. I think I can handle this thing personally. And do me a favor.. hold my wallet.. I'm not about to let about $80,000 dollars go up in smoke just like that." "Really", Casey said. "Not that they could like, be spent here.. but why not." Speedster then entered the ship, managing to use his abilities to take down the defenses, and found a central AR chamber that seemed antiquated, but more than likely to be of use.. and saw there were two occupants in there.. one familiar to many who'd been in the sangurian empire.. and one unfamiliar, but Speedster, not being one who personally gave up easily, went inside.. quietly. "SOOO", Cornball said.. "What are you doing here?", as the weapons continued to fly at Carolina who was in there, personally trying to destroy the strange woman. "I came here to stop you and take back what you have kidnapped from me", Speedster said... "Without my permission." "Really, I don't see anyone here that I've taken lately", he said, as a few lazers also tried to cut the mysterious woman, apparently tired and yet somehow anonymous.. that speedster couldn't identify quite clearly. And speedster, getting mad, jumped in front of some of them that were headed dead on.. taking the blows as Carolina was given enough of a break.. to knock cornball out for a while.. until he could be better dealt with. "Really.. WHo are you", Speedster said.. as he passed out. Later that day, the Neverrest left for more peaceful journeys as another mission ended, hopefully sucessfully.. though Carolina had some time having the outfit removed.. and managed to finally have her face appear in the outfit..though she was dirty and short of breath. "MAnn", Carolina said.. "I am so glad to get out of there.. What was Cornball thinking?" "Apparently nothing", Speedster said.. "Nothing at all." "Well, someone tell me indeed.. We've really got to get the defenses up a bit more if something like that could just happen out of the blue." "Don't worry about that", Speedster said.. "Because in time we all personally got to deal with wierd costumes, don't we?" As for Cornball, It's said his ship was impounded when the Authorities were called, and his right to kidnap innocents was revoked by the Sangurian empire due to many codes he'd violated in his tests.. but the outfits that was made, would more than likely inspire some strange tales yet to come... of costumes, of lives, and of realities beyond the horizon.. that have yet to be told. It's also noteworthy that day that Srig and Lawrence had simultaneous ulcers for some reason, but that's a story that might never really be told.. unless miracles do happen somewhere.. even in the past.
