the funhouse of doom

*Slowly DV and Amber emerge from the pool. As they do so the balls disappear*

DV: Something very weird is going on.

Amber: Oh really? Was the super tubbification your first clue?

DV: Look this place is narking me off too. We've got to keep...

*Sees Vibes and Van emerge from the portal*

DV: Er Amber you'd better see this...

Amber: what the? what happened to them?!

*Omega appears, laughing at them*

Omega: Ha ha! Thanks to warp exposure your friends here are now our slaves.
Incidentally it's the same energy you two have been exposed to. Difference
is pretty soon you two will be food crazed maniacs who will be totally immobile.

Amber: *growls* i'm gonna kill you! *her stomach rumbles* oooh....

*DV groans as her stomach rumbles too*

DV: No! That food we ate must've been spiked with the warp energy!

Amber: Ooh gee did you work that out all by yourself?

DV: Don't make me...

*Before she gets the chance Vibes swats her down*

Vibes: SUBMIT.

Amber: DV?

*DV groans as the rumble in her stomach gets louder. Vibes grabs her and then swats her down again*

DV: So...hungry...

*Suddenly food emerges around them. DV gobbles it*

DV (thought): Oh no! If they touch Amber she'll get hungier too. Got to warn her!

DV (food in mouth): Mumph! Murblemurblemumph!

Amber: hang on DV! i'm coming! *waddles over to help her but gets knocked down by Van*

Van: GRAH!!!

Amber: *her stomach rumbles loudly* oooh........

*Sees Amber hit by Van*

DV (thought): Oh no! She's getting extra hungry too! I've got to stop her eating!

*DV slowly thumps toward Amber, food still in mouth. As she tries to warn Amber Vibes hits her again*

DV: MUMPH!

*DV's stomach rumbles again. She strains, desperately moving toward Amber to stop her
eating*

Amber: *resists the hunger and punches Van*

Van: *rolls away* whoa!

*Amber's stomach rumbles even louder. DV realises what's happening*

DV (thought): Oh crud! Because she hit him she just got another jolt of tummy rumbling.
How the heck are we supposed to get out of thi...?

*Vibes grabs hold of her*

DV (thought): N...No...not...now...don't...want...EAT...

Amber: *doubles over* nnnnnn.....must....fight....hunger.....

*Omega laughs*

Omega: I think they're ready. Bring out the cake!

*Vibes and Van bring out an enormous cake and dump it on top of Amber and DV*

Amber: ugh... can't fight.....must....EAT *starts stuffing herself*

*Both DV and Amber find themselves furiously stuffing themselves. Omega laughs*

Omega: HA HA HA! Yes that's it! There is no way you gigantic blobs can win!

*DV pauses with a giant mouthful of cake*

DV (thought): Wait! That's it!

Amber: *looks at DV*

*DV shuts her eyes and smiles*

DV (thought): This is going to throw her off!

*She concentrates*

DV: PSYCHIC MODE!

*Amber is baffled as DV instantly returns to normal*

DV: You almost had us Omega. The thing is I've worked it all out.

*DV clicks her fingers. The fun house turns into Lowestoft beach, then a Scout hut, then an office*

DV: None of this exists. You've been messing with our heads. Vibes and Van aren't really monsters. It's all been a trick. A clever trick but a trick nonetheless.

Omega: eh. not quite at manipulating a world itself yet so i had to mess with you mentally

*DV laughs*

DV: As a former villain got to admit I'm impressed. But unfortunately you've been rumbled.
So you are going on a little trip. Specifically out of our heads.

*DV clicks her fingers and a rocket emerges under Omega*

DV: Bon voyage!

Omega: *disappears*

*Vibes, Van, DV and Amber all wake up in Anty's clinic. Their bodies are all covered in purple spots*

Vibes: Please say we're back in the real world now.

Anty: You're alright! I was so worried.

DV: We're covered in purple spots and you think we're alright?

*Anty shows them pictures of the four of them bloated to an enormous size*

Anty: Much longer and you'd have all exploded!

Van: that was too close

Amber: *clutches her head* nnn....i have a bad feeling.

*Van turns to Vibes*

Van: What's wrong with her?

Vibes: I don't know. This warp illness has messed up my ability to read...whatever it is.

Amber: i have this nagging feeling something is about to happen

*the news kicks on and shows warp monsters attacking the city*

*Vibes gulps*

Vibes: Oh crud this is bad.

*Vibes tries to get up but can't*

Vibes: Come on Anty there's got to be something you can do!

Anty: I'm sorry any potions now will create very serious side effects. You have
to keep still for a little bit longer to flush out the infection.
