Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 Witch

In the castle La Plas lives the witch named Ms Nightmare… the witch who is known for her evil, powerful abilities. They say that in truth… she even once met Gargamel. The people and creatures who claim to have met Gargamel… are very few… to most he is just a legend.

Ms Nightmare: "Hmm… as I see… hunters are on their way to my castle.""Lady?"Ms Nightmare: "…Pinocchio… no need to worry… we are finally going to have some fun."

(Meanwhile)

Kisa, Nacht and Diego were on their way to the castle La Plas.

Kisa: "Are we there yet?"Nacht: "In about two hours."Diego: "A… witch, huh… I thought there was only the Witch of the Forbidden Library."Nacht: "No… those are just the famous witches. Besides, Doctor Einstein said she might be one of them. Whatever… I don't care. I just want to know one thing… whether she knows my sister."

(Meanwhile)

(Patch) (Patch)

Einstein: "Hahhhh…""Mmmm."Einstein: "Again… over and over… experiments…""Mmmm."Einstein: "…Well, what's wrong with you… had enough?… You're a criminal… your life is worthless… that's why I experiment on your body…""Mmmmmm… mmmm…"

He injected her with something.

"Mmm… mmm… mmm…"

She twitched and suddenly her head exploded.

(Splat!)

Einstein: "Oh dear… guess I injected too much of the chemical… oh well… who's next?"

he said, while behind him several corpses were lying around.

Doctor Einstein: "Hehe…"

(2 hours later)

It was time. They had reached the mountains where the witch Ms Nightmare lived.

Nacht: "Well… we're here now."Diego: "Mhm… that's one huge forest."Kisa: "Mhm."

(Static!) (Static)

Doctor Einstein: "Hey… are you there yet?"Nacht: "Yeah…"Doctor Einstein: "Good… be careful… the forest is possessed by the witch… that means you have to watch out…"

The radio went quiet again.

Nacht: "Alright then… let's go in."Kisa: "Mhm."Diego: "Hmm."

They went into the deep forest. They did not know that they were being watched.

Ms Nightmare: "Hmm…"

they said as they were being watched.

Ms Nightmare: "Hmph."Pinocchio: "And… my lady, shall we interfere?"Ms Nightmare: "The nightmare beasts will make sure they leave soon enough…"

She took out a card.

Ms Nightmare: "Alright… let's begin. The girl, the boy with the hat, and the boy with the green hair. Alright then… the poor things don't even know they're already trapped in my labyrinth…"

The Nightmare Labyrinth… this labyrinth is Ms Nightmare's strongest defensive weapon. This labyrinth has multiple areas, and in each area there are beasts created from Ms Nightmare's nightmare world.

Ms Nightmare: "First of all… she is at the beginning of the labyrinth… there, the Junker… will take her."

(Back to Diego, Nacht and Kisa)

Diego: "Man!!!… we've been walking around for 40 minutes."Kisa: "Hahhhh…"Nacht: "Calm down. 40 minutes is nothing."Diego: "Not when you're walking in circles."Kisa: "I can't go on anymore."Nacht: "Hahhh… alright… let's take a break."

They sat down.

Kisa: "Hahhh… hahhh… it's so cold…"Nacht: "Hmm…"Diego: "Hahhh… seriously, this witch!"Nacht: "Hmm… strange… it looks like a normal forest…"

Nacht was thinking. Because of the snow it was even harder to tell which way to go.

Nacht: "Hmm… huh?"

He heard something.

Nacht: "Did you hear that?"Diego: "Hmm?"Kisa: "What?"Nacht: "Shhhh…"

Strange sounds were coming… from behind.

Nacht: "Get down!"

He jumped up and pulled them down with him onto the ground. Suddenly several roots grabbed at them. He had his hands on their heads.

Kisa: "Ugh."Diego: "Ugh… what…?"Nacht: "An attack."

The roots kept attacking them, and there were more and more… as if that wasn't enough, one of the roots stopped. Flowers appeared. The flowers grew, and once they had fully grown, they turned into strange monsters.

(…Ghhhh!)

Nacht: "Ugh…"Diego: "We have to fight."Kisa: "Right!"

They quickly grabbed their weapons.

Kisa: "Ghost Gloves, Ghost Shoes… Ghost Magiya… hehe!"Hänsel: "…Oh no… I thought she was done with that crap…"Gretel: "Hehehehe…"Hänsel: "…Did you tell her?"Gretel: "No… maybe… yes…"Hänsel: "(Sweats)… Be glad you're my sister…"Gretel: "Huh?"Kisa: "Hey, I can hear you!"Hänsel: "Oops."Nacht: "Kisa, watch out."Kisa: "Huh?"

The flower lunged at her.

Kisa: "Oh… but… but… those are cherry blossoms… how cute!… wow!"

She started playing with its petals.

Nacht: "Seriously, did someone crap in her brain?!"Diego: "(Sweats)…"

Nacht accidentally dropped his staff.

Nacht: "Oh…"

And right then a branch rose up and… smacked him on the butt.

(Smack!)

Nacht: "Aaaaaaaaaaaarghh."Diego: "(Sweats)… Uh…"Kisa: "Oh dear…"

(Smack!)

Kisa: "Ouch…"Diego: "Huh…"

The tree moved toward him.

Diego: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghh… stay away from my butt, you pervy tree!"

He ran off.

(Smack!)

Diego: "Ugh…"

He fell to the ground… with his hands on his butt.

Diego: "Ouch."Nacht: "Gghhh…"Kisa: "Ouch… that hurts…"

The tree then bound them with its roots.

Nacht: "…Wait… did we seriously get tied up because we got smacked on the butt?"Diego: "Yup."Kisa: "Cool… that's funny."Nacht: "Not when we're the ones tied up!… mmm… oh no… mmm."Diego: "What's wrong?"Nacht: "Something wrong?!"Kisa: "I… I… I need to pee."

(…Silence)

Diego: "Huh?"Nacht: "Huh?"Kisa: "Oh no… I can't hold it… mmm."Diego: "Of all times, now."Nacht: "Uhhh… women's bladders are a mystery to me."Diego: "(Sweats)… Uh… Nacht… that's creepy…"Nacht: "Hold on a little longer, Kisa, until we free ourselves from this tree."Kisa: "No… I can't anymore… mmm."Nacht: "One minute… hey… where are your manners… a lady wants to pee."

Tree: "Hmm?…"

Suddenly the tree opened its mouth and pointed at it with its branches.

Nacht: "Huuuh!"Diego: "What the hell is happening now…!"

(Beeeeep!)

(A moment please, the series will become serious again soon)

The tree picked up the three of them.

Kisa: "Hahhh… I can't take it anymore."Diego: "(Sweats)"Nacht: "(Sweats)… I guess I'll have to get serious."Diego: "Huh?"

His hands fell off and landed on the ground.

Diego: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhh…"Nacht: "Calm down, you already forgot this is part of my ability."Diego: "I thought only your head could do that!"Nacht: "What?… no… I can tear off anything… even my p—(Beep!)."Diego: "(Sweats)… uh…"Nacht: "Alright, now my arms."

His arms fell off too, and that made the roots loosen from his body and his body fell to the ground, but his head crashed onto a rock.

(Bam!)

Nacht: "Urk…"

(Ding!)

He was knocked out.

Diego: "Are you kidding me!?"

The tree kept going.

Diego: "Such an idiot… hmm?"

The tree stopped.

Diego: "Huh?"

He saw a big cauldron.

Diego: "Huh?"

The tree lit a fire under it.

Diego: "Huuuuh… why the hell is a tree of all things starting a fire?!"

The flowers sat around the cauldron along with the tree.

Diego: "Huh?…"Kisa: "Mmm… oh… no… I can't hold it… anymore…"Diego: "Man, I've got other problems here… where the hell is Nacht, is he still unconscious?!"

Yep… more like he was just waking up again.

(With Nacht)

Nacht: "Ouch… huh, why am I lying on the ground… hmm… huuuh… right… body parts, quickly back together… huh?"

A fox had his right arm in its mouth.

Nacht: "Hey… give that back!"

He ran off.

Nacht: "Heeey!…"

His other body parts reattached themselves to him and then he chased the fox.

Nacht: "Hold still… you damn fox… or I'll cook you!"

Speaking of cooking, how are Diego and Kisa doing?

(Ssssshhhhh)

Diego: "Great… just great… we're being cooked."Kisa: "Mmm… that smells yummy, can I have some too?"Diego: "Dude!… they're cooking us!… didn't you have to pee?"Kisa: "Mmm… (blushes)… I… I wet my pants…"Diego: "Huh!"

Her panties and pants were wet.

Diego: "Oh…"Kisa: "Sorry… I just couldn't hold it anymore… you know, with us girls it's maybe worse because of the bladder."Diego: "We've got other problems right now…"

A drop of boiling water hit him.

Diego: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhh… my butt… hot… hot!"Kisa: "Oh dear… I wonder who tastes better… you or me?"Diego: "(Sweats)… why should that matter to you, huh!?"Kisa: "What?… if we're already being cooked I'd like to know… how about we ask the tree once it eats us?"Diego: "That's not going to work because by then we'll be dead!!"Kisa: "Oh… right… then we ask it after it's had a taste."Diego: "Oh… yeah… great idea."

You could call them a bunch of idiots.

Diego: "Well, I say you taste better… I mean, you're a pretty girl…"Kisa: "Oh… thank you… (blushes)… that's very sweet… hehe… I don't know though… after all that tree is a female tree."Diego: "Huh?… how do you know that?"Kisa: "Well… she's wearing a bra."Diego: "Huh?"

He looked at the tree.

(Ding!)

Diego: "Why the hell would a tree wear a bra, huh?!"Kisa: "To feed her children."Diego: "Trees don't feed children… because they don't have milk!"Kisa: "How do you know?… have you tried it… oh… I have a question."Diego: "Yeah?"Kisa: "How does it work with making children when it comes to kids?"Diego: "(Sweats)… I've got other problems right now… but thanks to you I now have weird images in my head."

(Imagining)

The little tree… hugging the lady tree… and then…

(Kaboom!)

Diego: "(Sweats)… uh…"Kisa: "What's wrong?"Diego: "…I think I have a weird fantasy now."Kisa: "Huh?… oh… looks like the water's done boiling."Diego: "Huuuuh!"

The tree grabbed Kisa.

Diego: "No, Kisa… well… ladies first."Kisa: "Mmm…"

It sniffed Kisa.

Kisa: "Mmm… I'm sorry… I wet my pants…"

It licked her feet.

Diego: "Oh… right… yeah… it's a tree… it's into that kind of thing."Kisa: "(Sweats)… that slipped my mind… I think I'm going to die now."

It moved Kisa closer to the boiling water…

Kisa: "Aaaaaaaaarghhh…"Diego: "…Aaaaarghhh… no, Kisa… damn it… someone!"

(Crash!)

Diego: "Huh!?"Kisa: "Hmm?"

(Splat!)

The tree was beheaded and the person caught Kisa and saved her.

Kisa: "Mmm… ugh…"

It was Nacht.

Kisa: "Nacht."Nacht: "Kisa…"Kisa: "Huh?"Nacht: "Tell me…"Kisa: "Yes?"Nacht: "Did you… wet your pants?"Kisa: "Uh… no… that… uh… yeah…"

He dropped her like a sack.

(Bam!)

Kisa: "Ouch!"Nacht: "Gross… and I even touched it… uuuurgh."Diego: "(Sweats)… hey… can you throw up later and get me down first?"

The flowers went wild and attacked them.

Nacht: "Ugh…"

Nacht drew his sword… or rather, his staff… and slashed them open.

(Fwish!)(Splat!)

They burst… but instead of blood, green goo came out.

Diego: "Hey… can you get me down now?"Nacht: "… … …"

But because the tree was dead, the roots began to weaken and he was able to free himself.

Nacht: "So… you're still alive."Kisa: "Mmm…"Diego: "What's wrong, Kisa?"

Kisa was holding… well… her crotch.

Kisa: "…I… I think this is really embarrassing now…"Diego: "…oh."Nacht: "It's fine… can't you put on different pants?"Kisa: "The others are in the wagon… we don't even know where that is."Nacht: "Wait, I can help with that."

He pulled off his hat… and started taking things out.

Nacht: "Let's see… hmm… rabbit… no… bird, no… love dolls… no…"Diego: "(Sweats)… uh…"Nacht: "Books… no… fishing rod… no… my sister… no!"

(Meow!)

He threw everything he pulled out to the side.

Diego: "(Sweats)… uh…"Nacht: "Hmm… oh, there we go… here!"

He threw it to her… it was a pair of women's pants.

Nacht: "I got those from my little sister… hopefully they fit."Diego: "…Uh… why do you even have something like that?"Nacht: "Hmm?… none of your business."Diego: "(Sweats)…"Kisa: "They probably won't fit… mmm."Nacht: "Then just deal with it… we have to move on… we still have a job to finish."Kisa: "Mmm."

They walked on.

Kisa: "…So… what do we do now… we're still trapped in the forest."Diego: "Hmm…"Nacht: "…We're… in a labyrinth here."Diego: "Huh?"Nacht: "Mhm."Kisa: "Labyrinth?"Nacht: "Mhm… I don't know exactly how we get out of this place… but the problem is… it's bigger than a normal labyrinth…"Diego: "How do you know that?"Nacht: "…How else."

Crane the owl appeared.

Nacht: "Crane told me."Crane: "The labyrinth… is about as big as Aschwold, the village… maybe even bigger."Diego: "What, like a town?!"Kisa: "How are we supposed to get through something like that?!"Nacht: "Calm down or you'll pee your pants, and Kisa, a second time would be awkward."Kisa: "Mmm."

She pouted.

Kisa: "Mean… it's not my fault… happens more often to girls."

Info… that is indeed true.

Nacht: "Anyway… thanks to Crane… at least we roughly know where to go. Stay close to each other. Rookie… don't do anything stupid like you always do."Diego: "Huh?… how many times are you going to call me rookie?"Nacht: "Then clown."Diego: "No… stick with rookie."Nacht: "Nope… too late."Diego: "F— yourself in the knee."Kisa: "Huh?… in the knee?… can you even do that?"Diego: "No… it's just an insult."Nacht: "Alright then… Kisa… green-hair… stay very close, Crane will tell us where to go."Diego: "…(Sweats. He did change it)… now hurry up."Kisa: "Hmm."

They walked on and followed Crane.

Diego: "Hmm…"Nacht: "…Hmm?"Crane: "I found a lake with a waterfall."Nacht: "That's good… Kisa."Kisa: "Yes?"Nacht: "You can wash yourself there."Kisa: "And the clothes?"Gretel: "That reminds me, Kisa… I thought you always bring a spare set, I'm even the one who carries it."Kisa: "Oh yeah… right… I always give you the spare… alright then… give it to me… I'll go take a quick shower…"

She walked toward the lake.

Diego: "Hehehe… hey Nacht, let's follow her."

He grabbed him.

Nacht: "No… no, you stay here, green-hair."Diego: "Hmm… man, I wanted to see her naked."Nacht: "Keep dreaming… besides, we don't have time for that nonsense."

(A few minutes later)

(Splash!)

Kisa: "Hahhh…"

She was under the waterfall.

Kisa: "Alright… I think I can go back now."

(Meanwhile)

Nacht: "How long does it take, man!… women… and their time warp."Diego: "(Sweats)… she's been gone for five minutes, chill."Nacht: "Hahhh…"

Suddenly they heard a noise.

Diego: "Hmm?"Nacht: "Kisa, is that you!?"

They turned around, but it wasn't Kisa.

(Splash!)(Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhh)

Loud screams, so loud that Kisa heard them.

Kisa: "Huh!"

She had just finished getting dressed.

Kisa: "That was Diego…"

She hurried… until she got there.

Kisa: "Ugh!"Nacht: "Ghhhh…"

A mysterious figure made of wood and human body. He had human skin, but roots and wood all around him, and a hat like a magician's. He was holding the two of them.

Nacht: "Ghhh… run… away… Kisa."

He looked at her.

Kisa: "Ghhh…"

She quickly grabbed her weapons.

Kisa: "Let them go!""…Hmm… a girl…"

He threw Nacht toward Kisa, and Kisa caught him.

Kisa: "Ghhh… Nacht."Nacht: "Ghhh…"

Then he threw Diego at them as well.

Kisa: "No!"

She stretched out her hand, a spirit appeared, turned into a fist and caught Diego. She gently lowered him down.

Kisa: "Hahhh…"Diego: "Ghh."Nacht: "Ghhhh…"Kisa: "…Hahh… who are you?!"

He looked at her.

Junker: "My name… Junker… fourth guardian of the labyrinth."

Junker: "…You… are… not… welcome here."
