>>5772738Diving out of the way of the massive mallet again, you draw your <span class="mu-s">TOILET PLUNGER</span> from your pocket just as the shockwave from the impact knocks you off your feet! Face-planting on the floor, you’re hastily snatched off the ground by Chuck before he fires a few <span class="mu-s">DARTS</span> into the monster’s chest!
“Keep goin’!” He barks as Pepper and Raj desperately try to avoid Rivka’s stupid orb thing! Despite the enormous size of the tool wielded by the cat, however, its owner swings it around like it was a pool noodle! Swinging it at you and Chuck, the cat manages to wing the Groundskeeper and sends him tumbling across the chamber!
As bad as it looks, you see your chance when the mallet slams against the wall! Scrambling onto with agility that would make Master Laika proud, you take another flying leap just as the cat reaches for you!
For a few seconds you’re in freefall… but your gamble pays off! Seeing your flight, Raj leaps onto his <span class="mu-s">SKATEBOARD</span> and princess-carries Pepper! while the redhead continues to take potshots at the <span class="mu-s">EMITTERS</span>, the skater leads Rivka over to you just in time for you to slam the plunger’s business end into the orb’s side with a triumphant ‘<span class="mu-i">SPONK!</span>’
Still lounging in her servant chair, the orb’s occupant is none too pleased to see you hanging off of her ride.
“Sorry, no hitchhikers.”
Rivka takes an unimpressed sip from her mug as she snaps her gloved fingers summoning a trio of those <span class="mu-s">SPIDER BOTS</span> you saw in the vents earlier! Emerging from where the <span class="mu-s">ENGINE</span> is on the back of the orb, they skitter towards you with their turrets glowing green and a menacing look in their glowing red eyes!
It doesn’t look good for you, no, but you can’t help but smile–hanging off of the orb, you hear the sound of giant steps approaching from behind… and the wide-eyed stare on Rivka’s goggled-face tells you all you need to know!
You let go of the plunger right when you feel a gust of air tickle the back of your ears.
