Chapter 10: A Juicy Dilemma
As the adventurers were walking closer to the center of the island, they could feel a strange presence. It was not just a feeling, and they soon found out, a dark girl that looked like a demi-goddess appeared in front of them.
"You will never be able to take the stone you are looking for", she said, "I will destroy all of you before you can reach the center of the island", she threatened.
"Who are you?", asked Duckle, feeling irritated.
"I am the Shadow Queen, the one who will bring death to you. Your life will end by my hands", she said.
"I don't think so! If you want to stop us, you have to defeat us first! Â̜, Anna, hÒllÓween, Miyoko! Are you ready to fight?", asked Duckle.
"YES!", they all yelled in unison, feeling determined to defeat the Shadow Queen and save the people of Serjin.
"It's not your ducky day, Shadow Queen. Anyone who has me as an enemy, has run out of duck!", said Duckle, smiling confidently and proudly, ready to fight, and ready to win.
"Once you see my power, your confidence will be shattered, duck boy!", said the Shadow Queen, smirking and preparing to fight.
"DUCK!", said Duckle, and a duck suddenly appeared in front of him.
The Shadow Queen laughed at that: "was that all you can do, duck boy?", she said, mocking Duckle.
"DUCK CANNON!", shouted Duckle, and a huge, powerful ray of light was fired from the duck's mouth. It hit the Shadown Queen, but she received no damage.
"Aww... duck boy is throwing a tantrum~", said the Shadow Queen, taunting him.
Duckle was shocked. He wondered how it was possible that the Duck Cannon caused no damage at all to the Shadow Queen. Was she invincible?
"INFINITY WAVE!", shouted Anna, and her attack also caused no damage to the Shadow Queen.
"If you keep throwing tantrums, I'll have to give you kids a punishment~", said the Shadow Queen, laughing about it.
Duckle wondered something, and he wanted to test his hypothesis. "DUCK HEALING!", he shouted, and he cast the healing spell against the Shadow Queen...
...who looked surprised and caught off-guard, but immediately she smirked, and cast a spell in response: "SHADOW SWITCH!". She then kept laughing, and said: "thank you for healing me, duck boy~♥"
"DUCK CANNON!", shouted Duckle, firing the ray of light against the Shadow Queen.
"SHADOW SWITCH!", shouted the Shadow Queen, and she received no damage at all. She stuck her tongue out and made fun of Duckle.
"Hey Anna...", said Duckle, "you use a healing spell against the Shadow Queen, and I'll use Duck Healing against her, too. Our combined attacks might work"
"What are you talking about, Duckle? She'll just use Shadow Switch again and she'll take no damage", said Anna, understanding the pattern, and losing hopes about defeating the Shadow Queen and saving the people of Serjin against the curse of the shadow creatures.
"Trust me, I know what I'm doing", said Duckle, and the Shadow Queen was laughing and teasing Duckle and Anna after hearing what their plan was.
"If you say so...", said Anna, shrugging, and deciding to do as Duckle said, even though she knew Duckle's plan was going to be unsuccessful.
"INFINITY HEALING!", shouted Anna, casting her healing spell against the Shadow Queen.
As Anna's "attack" was about to reach the Shadow Queen, she (the Shadow Queen) smirked proudly and shouted: "SHADOW SWITCH!"
"DUCK CANNON!", shouted Duckle, firing the ray of light against the Shadow Queen, which fully hit her. "Did we defeat her?", mumbled Duckle, wondering.
The Shadow Queen slowly and weakly got up, heavily bleeding, with a humiliated look on her face. She smiled lightly, with blood being coughed out of her mouth, and said: "You're smarter than I thought, duck boy. But that's not a problem, I'll defeat you all anyway", said the Shadow Queen, weak and with little energies, with her entire body heavily hurt and bleeding, but determined to fight and win against the travellers.
Duckle was also ready to fight: "I told you, Shadow Queen. Having me as an enemy, means you have ran out of duck!", he said, grinning proudly, and determined to win the fight as well.
In the meanwhile, inside Kxem's multiship, Samantha and Uli were chatting with each other and having fun, despite being worried that Duckle and the others might not return from taking that stone at the center of the island. Uli was wondering why they were taking so long (he, just like Samantha, Ezeg, Ellie, David, Kxem and Frefa, didn't know about the ongoing fight against the Shadow Queen).
"I hope they're okay", said Uli, a bit anxious but hopeful, "hey Samantha, uhm...", he said, smiling and blushing, "I really had fun smelling your farts earlier, before we landed on this island. I really enjoyed behind overpowered by your stinky farts...", he said, blushing even more. Samantha
giggled. "That's nice to hear, Uli. I really enjoyed overpowering you with my stinky farts, too~", she said, giggling even more, and looking at Uli with a playful smirk, which made Uli blush even more. His heart was beating fast from the excitement, it was surely a positive emotion!
As Uli's heart was beating fast, he breathed heavily, smiled and almost cried, and asked Samantha: "Could we do this again later today?". Samantha grinned happily and accepted, she was more than happy to let Uli sniff her nasty gas, especially since she found it really funny how he reacts so disgusted from the smell, and she feels very proud that her farts are so stinky! Both Samantha and Uli couldn't wait to have some "gassy fun" again.
But why wait?
"We can have our gassy fun right now if you want, Uli! There's no need to wait! In that case, you should come to my bedroom~", said Samantha, giggling and smirking playfully at Uli, and of course he accepted. He wanted his sense of smell overpowered by Samantha's putrid toots, and he was glad that her farts were stinky enough to make the whole thing fun and challenging.
"G-great...", said Uli, blushing happily, "let's go"
Uli and Samantha went to Samantha's bedroom, they were ready to have their dose of "gassy fun", and Samantha was glad she could drink milk, since they were no longer in Centralia. In Centralia, eating meat and animal products (like eggs, honey and milk) was prohibited, they said it violated the laws because eating meat requires killing an animal (murder) and eating animal products requires "theft of private property" (belonging to the animals) and as such, both violated the non-aggression principle. The country where eating meat and animal products is legal is called Huntralia, where animals have no rights, but there are some huge beasts that can kill any human in a matter of seconds, with their powerful teeth and claws that instantly lacerate the skin and muscles of a human being, causing a quick but painful death. Their skin is so hard and impenetrable that it's immune even from guns and rifles. Humans there have no chance but to live in constant danger from those behemoths. Is there anywhere you can eat meat and animal products without the presence of such deadly, huge beasts? Yes, of course! Pan contains literally everything you can think of (and also everything you cannot think of).
Anyway, now that Samantha could drink milk and eat eggs again, she was being super gassy, and she was ready to have the "gassy fun" with Uli. She lied down on her bed, with her back and ass pointing up, and she said: "Feel free to press your nose against my ass, Uli. Lots of stinky air is gonna come from there~♥"
Uli did as Samantha said, he pressed his nose against her ass and waited for her to fart up his nostrils, and of course, considering how gassy Samantha was, it didn't take long for her to rip one.
***PPPPSSSHHHFFFPPPRRRTTT***
It felt like a hot, stinky gas was sprayed right into Uli's nostrils. It smelled really bad, but Uli was feeling determined to keep sniffing it, even though the smell was so bad that the was feeling like his stomach was churning and a bit nauseated, and he felt like he would soon cough from inhaling such putrid miasma, but he enjoyed such feeling of overpowering stench, and he kept sniffing despite (or because?) of how bad Samantha's farts smelled.
"Hehehe~so, how is it? Is my fart stinky?~", said Samantha, giggling and curious about what Uli would say about it. As he coughed a
bit, Uli replied: "Yeah... ugh...", he kept sniffing trying to prove to Samantha how strong his nose was, and Samantha was feeling entertained of such a show.
"Do you like the smell?~hehehe~", said Samantha, giggling even more.
"It's quite putrid and strong, so yes, I enjoy being challenged like this. It's something I've been wishing since I was a teenager, but since I lived in Eproctophiliophobistan, my wish couldn't come true. Thank you, Samantha, I'm very grateful to you!", said Uli, taking a few more sniffs of Samantha's gas, and in doing that, his eyes were starting to water a bit and he felt like his nose was melting from the heat and nasty stench that his nose was being subjected to.
"You're welcome, Uli~oh dear, those eggs and milk are really making me gassy right now~let's see if you'll survive my gas~", said Samantha, giggling and ready to fart even more. Uli was waiting and he was ready to sniff: he felt like his nose and lungs were ready, he wanted to prove Samantha how strong he was, and she was giving him such opportunity. Her farts were like a hot, stinky wind that blow into one's nostrils.
***PPPBBBRRRFFFTTTSSS***
"Aaahhh~that felt hot coming out~", she said, giggling even more and having fun farting on Uli's face, and the fun was far from over, Samantha could feel a lot of gas brewing in her stomach, and she was starting to feel Uli's head slightly moving away from her ass. "Aww, don't be shy, Uli, you can press your nose right against my butthole, like this~", she said, grabbing Uli's head with her hand and shoving his nose right on her butthole. Uli was starting to squirm a bit because of the awful stench, but he didn't want to seem weak so he was trying his best to not cough. "That's right, so you can smell it as best as you can~get ready, I have another one~♥"
***PPPBBBTTTRRRTTTFFSS***
"Aaahhh~better out than in~actually, better out of my butt and in to your nostrils~", she said, giggling as Uli was starting to squirm even more because of the noxious stench, and Samantha enjoyed feeling Uli's head squirming while she was holding his head still with her hand to make sure that his nose would stay pressed right on her butthole right between her asscheeks since that's the smelliest spot when she farted. Uli was even coughing a little because he was having a hard time dealing with the smell.
***PPPBBBRRRTTTSSSFFF***
The farts never seemed to stop coming, Samantha sure was gassy today! And her farts smelled really bad, too, and despite Uli trying his best not to show any reaction towards the smell, he was failing at that, because the smell was really pungent, putrid and thick, so inhaling those farts was making his stomach churn a little bit, the smell was rotten and nauseating, similar to rotten eggs and rotten cabbage with some spoiled milk added on it, the smell really had a "sulfuric" vibe.
***PPPBBBRRRTTTSSSFFF***
"Wow haha, what the heck, I'm being so gassy today~", she said, giggling, "...or maybe I'm always really gassy~♥", she said, with a playfully teasing softer voice. Uli's squirming was becoming more intense, but he was still very determined to show her that he wasn't weak and that he could handle the smell of her farts easily, despite how stinky her farts were, and despite how nauseated and disgusted he was being. He couldn't wait to breathe some fresh air again but he didn't want to admit it, he didn't want Samantha to think he was being weak. "I have more~♥"
***PPPBBBRRRFFFSSSTTTSSSFFF***
"Aaaahhhh~~", Samantha let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "are you okay back there?~♥", she said, giggling as she kept holding Uli's head with her hand to make sure his nose was where it was supposed to be.
"Yeah, of course", said Uli, on the verge of coughing, he barely succeeded in avoiding coughing out loud, the smell was really messing with his brain, he was feeling like his whole face was being engulfed by that hot stink, it was such a sour feeling of heat and stench, when he took even a small whiff, he felt like he could taste the putridity of Samantha's farts, and his nose being trapped between her asscheeks certainly didn't help.
"Oh, that's great, Uli! Because I have plenty more farts for you to sniff~NGHM~♥"
***BBBPPPRRRFFFSSSTTTSSSFFF***
"Aaaahhhh~~wow, your nose is taking all my gas in~~that feels so good, Uli~♥this is so fun!", she said, giggling and having fun farting on Uli's face. Uli was also having a lot of fun (and nausea) smelling Samantha's farts. It was a match made in Centralia! Samantha got there directly from Gaia, the planet where she was from, and Uli got there from Eproctophiliophobistan, the reality he was from and from which he escaped (since having a fart fetish there is illegal and punished with death), through the Republic of Murdakia, a country where wearing a yellow t-shirt is illegal and is punished with death. He heard that the Ëļōðĝɔ was an 'eprocto-friendly place' and so he decided to go there and he met Samantha and now he's very glad, happy and grateful to have ever met her. He thought he was lucky, in a sense (considering the unlucky context he was born in).
***PPPBBBPPPRRRSSSFFFSSSFFF***
"Uh...", Uli softly made a soft disgusted moan, that's because he was trying his best not to cough, so that weird sound came out of his throat instead. Samantha was chuckling because of that.
"Did that stink?~", she teased, laughing, "my farts are powerful~", she said, feeling proud of herself and she felt like her farts were a tough challenge for pretty much anybody with a sense of smell.
"Yes, it stinks, but...", Uli shivered and briefly stopped talking to avoid coughing uncontrollably, "...I'm strong enough to handle it!", he said, as trying to not cough was becoming harder as time went by, the smell of Samantha's farts was strongly nauseating him with a stench of rotten eggs and putrid fumes.
"That's nice to hear, Uli! I was worried that my farts could be, uhm, a bit too stinky for your cute little nose~hehehe you're so adorable, Uli~♥", said Samantha, and that made Uli blush and relax a bit, which meant he did start coughing uncontrollably, and Samantha bursted out laughing really hard because of that, "what's wrong, Uli? My farts are not so gentle when treating other people's noses, right?~♥here's some more~♥"
***PPPBBBRRRFFFTTTSSSFFF***
"The smell may be a bit pungent, but you can handle it, right?~hehehe~♥", Samantha said, giggling, hoping that her farts could cause even stronger reactions, she loved it when even Uli (who has a fart fetish) was disgusted by the intense stench that her farts emanated and spreading through the air. If even Uli had trouble sniffing her farts, that meant it's true they were really stinky, after all!
"I'll be honest, Samantha... *cough* it smells awful", said Uli, with his eyes watering a bit because of the stench, her farts felt like they were punching him in the stomach, and his coughing was slowly turning into gagging, he was seriously considering that he should admit defeat and take a break, because his throat felt like it was burning a bit just from breathing in the fumes, it was a really intense feeling of stinky putridity.
"Aww~but even though it smells awful, you're gonna keep your nose there and keep sniffing... right? Right?!~", asked Samantha, teasing him.
"Uh... I'm not sure...", said Uli, starting to actually gag, and Samantha was really enjoying that reaction.
***PPPBBBRRRFFFSSS***
"Well then, you should decide quick, or you'll get blasted with a lot more of my gas in the meanwhile~♥", said Samantha, teasing him even more while he looked and sounded defeated by such a mephitic miasma.
***PPPBBBRRRFFFSSS***
"But in this case, I'm sure you can handle the smell~♥"
***PPPBBBRRRTTTSSSFFF***
"*gag* eww Samantha... no, I can't handle the smell anymore... pee-yew... gah... *gags harder*", Uli finally removed his nose from that smelly spot where the rotten flatulence was coming from, and he was gasping for air, he almost wanted to throw up as that horrendous stench was kinda trapped inside his nostrils. "I'm going to wash my face, the stink is not leaving my nostrils... *gags*". Samantha laughed really hard at how Uli was gagging, and Uli left Samantha's bedroom and he went to his own bedroom and then to the bathroom of his own bedroom and he was then washing his face. As he was walking through the hallway of Kxem's multiship, breathing some fresh air, Samantha showed up and asked him:
"Are you sure we're ending the gassy fun now? Don't you want a second round?~♥"
"Uhm... maybe later, Sam. My lungs need some time to recover after smelling such monster bombs that you have let rip...", he said, sweating nervously and giggling a bit.
"Okay Uli, that's fine~I'm really looking forward to have some gassy fun with you again~♥", Samantha said, with a playful smirk, and hugging Uli affectionately. Uli was glad that Samantha's farts didn't smell "mild", and they were so pungent, putrid and stinky that they were a serious challenge for his nose. If Samantha's farts were mild, then it wouldn't had been much of a "challenge" for Uli.
In the meanwhile, the fight against the Shadow Queen was about to truly begin. After Duckle told the Shadow Queen that however has him as an enemy has ran out of duck, she replied saying: "We'll see that". With her little energies remaining, she dashed towards Duckle and cast her first attack: "SHADOW SCYTHE!"
A dark scythe appeared right in front of the Shadow Queen, she grabbed the scythe and was ready to fiercely attack Duckle.
"DUCK SHIELD!", shouted Duckle, and a protective aura was surrounding him.
Suddenly, something that shocked Duckle happened. The Shadow Scythe went through Duckle's shielding aura, but it didn't destroy it - unlike what a "normal" but extremely powerful attack would had done - the shielding aura was left entirely intact, but it was like it didn't exist at all from the perspective of the scythe, which passed right through it and hit Duckle with full might.
Duckle fell to the floor, heavily bleeding, and he lost consciousness. He was so severely hurt, he could die soon, if nothing is done.
"DUCKLE!", yelled Anna, worried. "Hey y'all! If we do nothing, Duckle will surely die! How many of you have a healing spell, raise your hand!", she said, and everyone of them (Miyoko, Â̜ and hÒllÓween) raised their hands.
"INFINITY HEALING!", yelled Anna, casting her healing spell towards Duckle.
"HEALING!", yelled Miyoko, helping Anna to heal Duckle.
"HEALING!", yelled Â̜, healing Duckle too.
"REPARATION!", yelled hÒllÓween, casting his own healing spell towards Duckle and trying to repair the damage he got from being hit by the Shadow Scythe.
Duckle opened his eyes, but at the moment he was completely without energies.
"Oh thank Pan... you're alive!", said Anna, worrying a lot. Some tears were falling from Â̜'s eyes, she was also glad that Â̜ was alive.
"Anna, Miyoko, hÒllÓween... you three, keep fighting against the Shadow Queen, I'll take care of Duckle", said Â̜, holding Duckle close to her and allowing him to rest his head on her lap. The three nodded and went to fight against the Shadow Queen, who was laughing by seeing such a scene.
"Fufufu~", teased the Shadow Queen, "you're all weaklings. I gave y'all a small taste of my power, but it seems like it was not enough to scare you into giving up. Well then, it seems like I have to gradually increase my punishment", said the Shadow Queen, ready to unleash some more of her attacks towards the travellers that dared to fight against her. The Shadow Scythe was a mere basic demonstration.
"HAAAAA!!!!!", Miyoko let out a huge scream, and a powerful aura surrounded her, and her hair suddenly turned blonde. She was ready to cast her first attack against the Shadow Queen. "KAMEHAMEHA!"
As Miyoko's attack was approaching the Shadow Queen, she was ready to react: "SHADOW SWITCH!"
"INFINITY HEALING!", yelled Anna, and her healing "attack" fully hit the Shadow Queen, making her collapse on the ground bleeding once again. The Shadow Queen was starting to feel even more humiliated to have fallen for such a trick twice, but she slowly got up, even if bleeding, and she was feeling very determined to show those 'weaklings' how powerful she was.
The Shadow Queen had a creepy grin on her face, and said: "You kids need some punishment", and she dashed towards the three, ready to attack.
"SHADOW SCYTHE!", she yelled, ready to hit all three opponents simultaneously with her Scythe. All the three managed to avoid the attack, but Anna only barely did so, as she was almost hit by the Scythe. If Duckle knew that attack would had passed through his Duck Shield as if it (the Duck Shield) did not even exist, he surely would had been fast enough to duck the attack.
"(Holy hell, she's so fast! If she hits me with that thing, I'm dead)", thought Anna, who was ready to be as careful as possible in the fight. Being hit with that Scythe was not a joke.
"REPARATION!", yelled hÒllÓween, casting his healing spell against the Shadow Queen.
"SHADOW SWITCH!", yelled the Shadow Queen, quickly reacting to hÒllÓween's "attack".
"INFINITY WAVE!", yelled Anna, ready to attack the Shadow Queen, who, however has already learned the pattern, and she quickly dodged Anna's attack.
"CIVIL KNIVES!", yelled hÒllÓween, casting an attack against the Shadow Queen, throwing a huge amount of knives against her. Back when he was a teenager in Racistan, where he was born, he thought studying at school was useless, but now he understand what he learned could be used in his favor. Don't quit school, kids! The mere movement of the Civil Knives was creating a strong wind under pressure, could it be a wind of change that could help defeat the Shadow Queen? There was a lot of hope in hÒllÓween's hollow, angry heart. But no, the Shadow Queen dodged the attack, or, as Duckle would had put it, she ducked it.
"SHADOW SCYTHE!", yelled the Shadow Queen, almost hitting hÒllÓween, and causing the ground to tremble as the Shadow Scythe impacted with the ground.
"Damn, hÒllÓween, she's too fast and too strong, we can't keep up for much longer", said Anna, starting to feel a bit exhausted.
"I agree. She's too powerful. I almost got hit by her scythe. Where is Miyoko, by the way?", asked hÒllÓween, wondering.
"Even though I have lived infinite years in Philosophistan, there are plenty of things I do not know. The current location of Miyoko is one of those things", explained Anna, and hÒllÓween was getting a bit worried for Miyoko. He was wondering where she was, and whether or not she was okay.
In the meanwhile, inside Kxem's multiship, Samantha was asking Uli whether he wanted to have some more 'gassy fun' again, and she told him that she was being very gassy. Uli was feeling undecided.
"Oh, come on, Uli! I'm so, so gassy! We're gonna have so much fun, trust me!~♥", said Samantha, very excited. She was so excited that she couldn't contain herself, just like the set of all sets that do not contain themselves (and that leads to Russell's Paradox).
David, on the other hand, was sure about something: he wanted to smell Ellie's farts today, and Ellie accepted. They were so sweet together: they were used to sweet behavior growing up in the Sunshine Land, where bad things very rarely (if ever) happen. Samantha overheard the conversation and wanted to catch this opportunity.
"Hey hey hey, David, good friend~♥", said Samantha, greeting him in a casual and friendly way, "I apologize in advance if I happen to be bothering but... may I join your gassy fun?~♥", she asked, grinning cheerfully.
"Uhm... okay... as long as you don't force me to smell your farts. Ellie's farts are stinky enough, yours are even stinkier, so I may not be able to keep sniffing them for too long...", said David, a bit shy, and hoping that Samantha was okay with his "weakness".
"Fine, fine! If my farts are too stinky for you, then you can turn your head away and take a break or even stop! So...~♥???", asked Samantha, grinning and with pleading, excited eyes.
"Alright, Samantha! You can join us!", said David, smiling.
Seeing that the three (Samantha, David and Ellie) were going to have the 'gassy fun', Uli thought 'okay, why not' and decided to join the gassy fun as well, and he told them that he was joining them. They all went to Samantha's bedroom, which no longer smelled bad of her previous farts, and they decided to start having fun.
"Shall we see who can stand smelling farts the longest, like we did the last time with Miyoko in the room as well, before we got interrupted by that mysterious hallucination?", asked Samantha.
"Okay! And whe Miyoko comes back, we can ask her if she wants to join us!", said Uli, feeling excited about that. He liked smelling Miyoko's farts as well, but Samantha was his favourite girl to smell the farts of, and the reason includes the fact that he loved Samantha's personality a lot, not just her farts. He also liked Miyoko's personality but he had a better friendship with Samantha.
"That's fine to me! And if Ellie wants to participate again, then we'll be three girls farting~♥", said Samantha, very excited about it, "so, Uli, you can press your nose right here, right on my butt! And I suppose David will do the same thing with Ellie?", she said.
David nodded and said: "that's right!", and he pressed his nose on Ellie's butt, as Ellie was encouraging him to do so.
"I'm so gassy right now, hehe~", said Samantha, giggling, and ready to let a fart rip on Uli's nose again, like she did earlier. It was so fun that she always hoped that Uli would let her fart on his nose as much as possible, but she understood that her farts were really stinky, and that after some time, Uli can't handle the smell anymore and needs a break. "Get ready, Uli~♥NGH"
***PPPBBBRRRFFFRRRTTTSSSFFF***
"Aaahhh wow I've just released a lot of stinky air, haven't I, hehe~♥", said Samantha, as her hot fart stung Uli's nostrils hairs, and the intense smell was making his eyes water a little bit. Samantha surely was farting a lot today, and Uli wanted to prove that no matter how much she farted and how much her fart stunk, he could keep sniffing for a while without being weak. David, on the other hand, freely admitted his "weakness" and didn't seek much of a challenge.
"Ah, I don't have a fart coming yet, David. But I'll warn you when I have one", said Ellie, smiling gently, she wanted David to have as much fun as possible. And so did Samantha when it came to Uli.
"Thank you, Ellie", said David, feeling happy and loved, and also entertained.
"I have another one, Uli! I hope your nose is ready!", said Samantha, having to fart again, "NGHM!~♥"
***PPPBBBRRRTTTSSSFFF***
"Oh wow it feels hot when it comes out! Is your nose okay, Uli? It's in a really smelly place right now! Hehehe~♥", said Samantha, giggling and chuckling, she was loving this gassy fun, she had plenty of gas to let out, and she enjoyed the thought that they were being blasted into Uli's nostrils rather than her precious gas being wasted in the atmosphere with nobody but her smelling it.
Uli was having a bit of difficulty smelling it already, but he wasn't willing to give up. Not yet, at least. Ellie was waiting to have a fart coming but she wasn't as gassy as Samantha was. But after a while, she had a fart ready for David, and she told him that. David got ready to sniff Ellie's fart
***PPPFFFSSSFFFSSRRR***
David took a whiff of Ellie's gas and he was impressed by how bad it stunk. It was not unbearable, but it was not an easy task to keep sniffing it while maintaing a serious, non-disgusted face. He decided to keep sniffing and not move his nose away, just like Uli, who had his nose buried between Samantha's asscheeks, it was like having a face trapped in a basket of rotten eggs, and that's why Uli was enjoying it, it was a challenge that he wanted to win, while David's idea of fun was less about it being a "challenge" and just enjoying being disgusted by Ellie's stinky farts.
Samantha also had a fart ready for UIi. "Get ready, Uli, I'm about to let one rip, on your nose! MNGHM!~♥"
***PPPBBBRRRTTTSSSFFF***
"Wow, so many farts on your nose, and you're still not giving up. I'm proud of you, Uli! Hehehe~♥", said Samantha, giggling and blushing happily. Uli's nose was being seriously challenged, Samantha's farts were really stinky and it felt like Uli's nose was rotting under a mountain of stench, but he still wasn't willing to give up. He liked how Samantha was proud of him for being able to endure her farts for so long, and he didn't want to disappoint her.
David was also having some difficulty breathing Ellie's farts, since they also stunk (though not as bad as Samantha's), but he wasn't in huge difficulty yet so he kept sniffing. "Oh, I have to fart again, David. Get ready", said Ellie, smiling happily.
***PPPFFFSSSFFFPPPRRR***
David was sniffing this new fart of Ellie's, and it was stinky, but not so stinky as to be unbearable, so David wasn't turning his nose away. The smell was bad, so David was breathing more carefully than usual, but other than that, he could stand the smell without a lot of trouble.
In the meanwhile, Samantha was still very gassy, and she kept farting on Uli's face.
***PPPBBBRRRTTTSSSFFF***
"Your nose feels hot when it's surrounded by my gas, haha~♥", said Samantha, enjoying the feeling, "hehehe~". Uli was wondering whether he should turn his nose away from Samantha's ass, but he was afraid that she would see him as weak in that case. He thought 'oh well, nevermind, I have already given up plenty of times in the past, I can't keep smelling her gas forever, I'm gonna choke' and eventually gave up and turned his nose away, and he told that to Samantha.
"Don't worry, Uli, that's fine! My farts are too powerful for you, and everyone else, hehehe~", said Samantha, giggling and biting her lips smiling and feeling proud of herself. Uli, after some time, was having an idea, and he explained that to Samantha, David and Ellie.
"So...", Uli started explaining, "would it be okay for y'all if I smelled Ellie's farts and David smelled Samantha's farts? Or is this relationship exclusive? If it is, then that's also fine, don't worry. I just wanted to try something else", he explained.
Samantha, Ellie and David were all okay with that and they all nodded in agreement, so Uli pressed his nose on Ellie's ass and David put his nose on Samantha's ass.
"Hehehe, David, I think my farts are gonna be smellier than Ellie's, so get prepared!~♥", Samantha said, giggling happily and curious as to how David will react to the smell of her farts flooding his nose with that nasty stench, "In fact, I have a fart ready for you right NOW~♥hehehe!!! MNGHM~♥"
***PPPBBBRRRTTTSSSFFF***
David started sniffing Samantha's farts and he immediately coughed incontrollably. It was true, Samantha's farts were much smellier than Ellie's. He was wondering whether he should had given up, but even if her farts were so stinky that he almost wanted to throw up, he decided to keep sniffing some more, but he gave up after a few seconds because he could no longer handle the smell, and Samantha was laughing incontrollably and really hard because of how David reacted. Some time later, Ellie farted on Uli's face:
***PPPFFFSSSPPPRRRTTTSSS***
Uli took a whiff of Ellie's fart and he said: "Well, Ellie, your fart stinks, but not as bad as Samantha's, so it will be easier for me to keep sniffing", he explained, so while this switch was easier for Uli, it was more difficult for David.
"David, I have to fart again, are you sure you don't want to try again? I know my farts stink, but... you could try again anyway! So?", asked Samantha, wondering whether David gave up for good or if he wanted to try again.
David prepared himself psychologically and after a few seconds, he said: "okay... let's try again...", he was not very sure of himself, but he still wanted to try. Samantha was smirking happily, she was more than happy to fart on David's face so that she can laugh at his disgusted reactions.
"Get ready, David. I know it's gonna stink. My farts always do, hehehe~♥MNGHM~♥", said Samantha.
***PPPBBBRRRTTTSSSFFF***
"So, how was it? How was my fart?~♥", said Samantha, giggling and trying not to laugh so quickly.
David coughed incontrollably and even gagged, he immediately turned his face away as the stinky hot fumes came out at high speed from Samantha's weapon-like ass. Of course, Samantha couldn't help but laugh as hard as she could, as soon as David reacted in such a disgusted way. Uli was having a better time smelling Ellie's farts compared to Samantha's, because they were less stinky, but they certainly didn't smell like roses, more like rotten eggs that were less rotten than Samantha's farts, but still rotten.
In the multiship's main room, Kxem, Ezeg and Frefa were eating some delicious snacks that Kxem has cooked in the multiship's kitchen. Ezeg was feeling a bit of cringe when hearing the farts coming from Samantha's bedroom: "do they practice that ritual often?", Ezeg asked.
"Yes, very often", said Kxem, shrugging, thinking that was not a big deal. And Ezeg didn't mind it either, he just found it weird, but morally okay. After a few seconds, he longer thought about it (it was not important) and kept eating the food and having fun chatting with Frefa and Kxem about various things.
"Come on, David, I know my farts stink, but you can do it! You're strong! (hehehe)", said Samantha, chuckling a bit, encouraging David to keep sniffing her farts, but Samantha's goal was always the same, to laugh at how David reacted at the smell. David, once again, was willing to try again, he wanted to test himself and maybe he could become stronger if he practiced enough. Or at least, that's what Samantha wanted him to believe.
"Get ready, David! MNGHM!~♥", said Samantha, already excited for how David will react.
***PPPBBBRRRTTTSSSFFF***
David, as soon as he sniffed, immediately turned his face away, as he was feeling like his nose was borning from the putrid stink. Even if he tried, he couldn't keep his nose near Samantha's butt for more than a few seconds, the smell was revolting and it made him want to throw up. He was wondering whether he would truly become more resistant with time. (Maybe I need more time and practice), he thought as he couldn't stop coughing and getting nauseated from the eggy stench of Samantha's farts.
"I have more farts for you, David! Come here and sniff them! You'll become stronger if you do. Practice makes perfect~♥", said Samantha.
The cycle kept repeating, much to Samantha's entertainment and David's disgust, while Uli was feeling proud of how well he was enduring Ellie's farts. They were less putrid than Samantha's, but they were still stinky enough to feel proud of enduring them and keep sniffing without turning his head away.
***PPPBBBFFFRRRTTTSSS***
As Ellie farted on Uli's face, he proudly inhaled the gas, it was stinky enough to make it difficult for Uli not to cough, but he proudly managed to not even cough, and he felt invincible because of that. Samantha's farts were so stinky that Uli couldn't handle them, but Ellie's? Still very stinky, but bearable, and the fact that they were bearable were making Uli feel undefeatable, like a super hero who have just defeated a powerful enemy. David, on the other hand, was defeated by Samantha's farts even more easily than Uli was defeated, since David was used to sniff Ellie's farts, which were milder. He felt like Samantha's farts would knock him out, if for some reason he were forced to sniff them.
In the meanwhile, the fight against the Shadow Queen was still ongoing.
"SLASERY!", yelled hÒllÓween, firing a huge laser from his hands. The Shadow Queen dodged the attack, because she didn't need to be healed for now. If she needed some healing, then she could had used hÒllÓween's attacks to heal herself, by using Shadow Switch.
The Shadow Queen was fast and strong, her Shadow Scythe attack was representing a huge risk for the lives of hÒllÓween and Anna, which were both getting exhausted of dodging the Shadow Scythe, and they felt like their end was going to come soon.
"Fufufu, you weaklings have no power to defeat, and you won't survive, either. It's time for you two to die", said the Shadow Queen, with an evil smirk on her face. Is this truly the end?
"DUCK CANNON!", an unexpected voice was heard, and the Shadow Queen was attacked by surprise. She got fully hit by the Duck Cannon.
"YOU BASTARD!", yelled the Shadow Queen, heavily bleeding once again.
"Duckle! Â̜!", said Anna, happy to see them again.
"CIVIL KNIVES!", yelled hÒllÓween, throwing a lot of knives against the Shadow Queen, but she knew exactly what to do.
"SHADOW SWITCH!", she said, and she healed herself through hÒllÓween's attack, recovering some health after getting hit by the Duck Cannon.
"No, hÒllÓween!", warned Duckle, "we should only attack in pairs, with attacks and healing spells simultaneously, otherwise she's going to heal herself using our spells!"
"Ah, right", said hÒllÓween, a bit embarrassed for not having realized that before, "but she will just dodge all of our spells. She's very fast", he observed.
"That does not matter, hÒllÓween. It's better for her to dodge our spells rather than her using them to heal herself", said Duckle.
"Fufufu, you weaklings still think you can defeat me? You have understood nothing, then. I'll show you what death feels like", said the Shadow Queen, with a proud smile on her face.
"Where is Miyoko?", asked Duckle.
"We don't know. I hope she's okay", said Anna.
"The Shadow Queen is strong, but again, whoever has me as an enemy has ran out of duck", said Duckle.
"I can help, too!", said Â̜, "MUTE!", she said, casting that sabotaging spell against the Shadow Queen, affecting her with a negative status.
"SHADOW SCYTHE!", yelled the Shadow Queen... but nothing happened, "Ah, what a nuisance...", she said, grabbing a cup from her bag, with a black liquid inside of it (the cup). She drank that potion and yelled: "SHADOW SCYTHE!", and aimed her attack at Â̜, who almost got hit.
"Damn it, she's insanely fast!", said Â̜, after almost getting hit by the attack, "that attack is deadly if it hits", she said, very worried.
"SHADOW SCYTHE!", yelled the Shadow Queen, getting ready to attack Â̜ again.
"SLOW!", yelled Â̜, and the Shadow Scythe became really slow, and it could be easily avoided, "she's very strong, everyone. It's better not to underestimate her", she said, starting to lose hopes. Duckle, however, was feeling more optimistic.
The Shadow Queen grabbed a red potion from her bag, she drank it, and the Shadow Scythe became really fast again.
"It's better if I deal with your nerfing spells right now, you ugly girl", said the Shadow Queen, "SHADOW IMMUNITY!", she yelled, "mosquitoes like you are annoying, but it's easy to deal with them~"
"MUTE!", yelled Â̜, wondering if the Shadow Queen's spell was real or if it was just a bluff.
"SHADOW SCYTHE!", yelled the Shadow Queen, but luckily Â̜ was expecting it to be real, so she was prepared to dodge it already. She almost got hit, the Shadow Scythe was so fast that it was difficult to keep dodging, and dodging such a fast attack was draining their energies slowly. The end seemed to be closer for the travellers, as their hopes to defeat the Shadow Queen were decreasing with time.
"I can do something to gain some time", said Â̜, "ENDURANCE!", she yelled, and cast that spell towards herself and the other travellers.
"What did this do?", asked hÒllÓween, curious.
"It raised our defence, so we'll take less damage from her attacks. I still would advise to dodge her attacks, if possible, though. The Shadow Scythe is a very powerful attack", said Â̜, "And there is yet another thing I can do", she said, "SPEED!", she yelled, "This will make us faster, so we can dodge her attacks more easily", she explained. The Shadow Queen was smiling with an interested expression on her face. She considered Â̜'s spells to be quite challenging, at least for a "normal" opponent, but not for the herself (Shadow Queen). She respected Â̜'s power, though, but she (the Shadow Queen) was still determined to kill her (Â̜) along with all the others.
"Fufufu, you're such an ugly and stupid girl... but your spells are powerful. It's such a shame, those powerful spells are wasted if they're possessed by an idiot like you. I deserve those spells instead", said the Shadow Queen, with a very malicious smirk. Â̜, hÒllÓween, Anna and Duckle were ready to fight.
"SHADOW COPY!", yelled the Shadow Queen, casting a spell against all four travellers.
"W-what did this do?", mumbled hÒllÓween, not knowing what Shadow Copy does, and feeling anxious because of that. He had a really bad feeling about that spell that was cast against him and the others, whatever that was.
"SLOW!", yelled the Shadow Queen, with an evil and sadistic laugh.
"She can use our spells now?", mumbled hÒllÓween, horrified by the existence of such a skill. "REPARATION!", he yelled, knowing that the Shadow Queen was currently weak against healing spells... but his spell was very slow, and the Shadow Queen could dodge it with no difficulty whatsoever.
"Fufufu, you weaklings are so adorable~", said the Shadow Queen, biting her lips in self-pride, "DUCK!", she yelled, and a duck appeared in front of her. Compared to Duckle's duck, the Shadow Queen's duck was darker and it definitely had a much more evil aura. "DUCK CANNON!", she yelled, and a huge ray of darkness was fired from the duck's mouth. Since they were affected by the "slow" spell, they understood it was better to just dodge it instead of trying to use a shield spell to defend themselves from it, since in their condition, it would take a while for the shield to be even appear. The Shadow Queen's Duck Cannon seemed to be even more powerful than Duckle's. The travellers could barely duck it.
"There's no hope for us...", said Â̜, almost in tears from the hopelessness.
"We're all ducked...", said Duckle, losing his optimism as well, and feeling exhausted from the intense fight. There seemed no way they could defeat the Shadow Queen, she was simply too powerful.
"INFINITY WAVE!", yelled the Shadow Queen, and with the little energies they had left, they barely manage to dodge this attack. They were almost collapsing on the floor, their energies were so low that they could barely run anymore.
"For infinite years, I had been wondering if love existed. After escaping from my reality, I realized that love does exist. I love you, Duckle", said Â̜, in tears, with a smile on her face, "I'm very grateful towards Ezeg for teaching me how to be a human, too. And all the others for being my friends. I love you all. I have lived for infinite years, and now I know love exists. My life is complete. Thank you, everyone", she said, collapsing on the floor, exhausted, with tears falling from her eyes and a smile on her face.
"Fufufu, I have had fun to play with you weaklings, but all toys start to get boring after some time. I'm tired of holding back my power just to entertain you insects. Now it's time to say goodbye~", said the Shadow Queen, starting to get bored. "SHADOW RAIN!", she yelled, and a dark cloud appared above the four travellers, pouring an intense drizzle of dark, corrosive rain that killed them in less than a second. The Shadow Queen yawned from boredom and decided to take a walk around S̖̀ò̖ẓ̍ó̗ć̗ Island in search of something more fun to do.
Miyoko was flying around the skies of S̖̀ò̖ẓ̍ó̗ć̗ Island, she had managed to take the stone required to free Serjin from the curse of the shadow creatures, she stole that stone was the Shadow Queen was busy fighting against the others, and her (Miyoko's) goal was to bring that stone in the multiship so that Kxem can bring them to Serjin and save the people of Serjin from their affliction. She looked down for a moment and she saw something that horrified her.
"N-no...", she mumbled, feeling very upset, and she landed on the ground to check if her eyes had not mistaken her. It was all real. Duckle, Anna, hÒllÓween and Â̜'s dead bodies lying on the ground, heavily covered in blood. Miyoko started crying uncontrollably.
"It cannot be...", she mumbled, crying. She didn't want to believe what she was seeing. She wanted to believe that was just a bad dream. She cried and was shaking nervously. It was not a bad dream. It was real.
"...and you are next", said the Shadow Queen, unexpectedly appearing in front of Miyoko, walking towards her.
Miyoko gasped in fear and started flying away really fast.
"You will succumb to the shadows, just like the others!", yelled the Shadow Queen, "SHADOW SCYTHE!"
Miyoko was flying away as fast as she could, she knew she was the last hope to free the people of Serjin from the curse of the shadow creatures. She was doing that for Duckle, and for the people of Serjin. She wanted to make Duckle's wish come true, at any cost.
At the end, Miyoko rapidly opened and shut the door of the multiship, while the Shadow Queen was approaching rapidly, with murderous intent.
"KXEM, GO TO SERJIN!!", yelled Miyoko, shivering in terror, "NOW!!!", Miyoko's screams were filled with fear and desperation, as there was no time left to waste.
Judging by Miyoko's tone of voice, Kxem understood that was urgent, so he immediately entered the hyperspace, destination Serjin. Duckle had provided the coordinates of that place, so Kxem could select the location immediately.
Miyoko kneeled on the floor, crying uncontrollably.
"What happened, Miyoko?", asked Kxem, very worried, "where are the others?", he asked, and that question made Miyoko cry even more.
"T-the... t-the... t-they...", Miyoko was crying a lot, she was unable to speak.
Frefa was hugging Miyoko, trying to calm her down so that she could speak and explain what happened. Miyoko calmed down very slightly, just enough that she could speak.
"We... we fought against the Shadow Queen, and... and...", Miyoko started crying uncontrollably again, and she couldn't finish the sentence.
"Who is the Shadow Queen?", asked Kxem, confused. The ones that remained in the multiship knew nothing of what happened.
"We had to take the stone from the center of the island... b-but... t-the Shadow Queen appeared in front of us. She was very fast and powerful. While the others were distracting her by fighting against her, I went to the center of the island and took the stone. When I came back to the place where the fight occurred, I saw their dead bodies on the ground, covered in blood. Duckle, Anna, hÒllÓween, Â̜... they're dead. The Shadow Queen killed them. She almost killed me, too. I barely managed to escape...", Miyoko explained, crying again, she didn't want to believe what happened. She refused to believe that was what happened.
Kxem felt upset and grieved by what happened, too.
"I have the stone. Let's go to Serjin and save those people. That's what Duckle would had wished. Let's do that for him, and for the others", said Miyoko, crying but feeling determined to bring the mission to a success. Kxem nodded silently. He agreed.
After some time of travelling, they arrived to Serjin, and they saw a place devastated by the shadow creatures. People were suffering and dying, they had no hopes for the curse to end.
The travellers all got out of the multiship and were horrified by how bad the curse was. The sky and grass were grey, the trees were lifeless, and some people were being killed by the shadow creatures in open air, free for anyone to see.
"We have the stone! We can save you!", yelled Miyoko, trying to get the people of Serjin to hear her and understand she could save her.
"Talk to the Mayor of Serjin City, he knows what to do once you have the stone", said some random woman, with a serious expression. She looked like someone who has lost all hopes.
With some more information, they understood where the Mayor was, and they talked with him.
"This seems to good to be true! Your presence is a blessing in our land. You have to go to the Sacred Pyramid and place the stone at the top. That way, our land will be liberated from the shadow creatures. Thank you very much for doing this", said the Mayor, giving the travellers a map saying where the Sacred Pyramid was.
"You don't have to thank us", said Miyoko, "thank Duckle instead", she said, with a serious smile.
The Mayor kneeled in sign of respect: "That guy, he's the kind of person who would even sacrifice himself to save the others. Where is he now?", he asked.
Miyoko and the others looked a bit upset and just shook their heads, without saying anything.
When they were outdoors, Miyoko had a slight, determined smile on her face. "Let's go", she said, serious.
The Sacred Pyramid was huge, they were going to take a while to walk to the top, but they were feeling determined. Frefa and Ezeg were among the first to start getting exhausted. "Please, don't give up! I beg you!", said Miyoko, begging them to not lose their hopes and energies.
"This is what we should do", said Kxem. Miyoko agreed fully.
"It's the least we can do", said Miyoko.
After a while of walking, they reached the top of the Sacred Pyramid of Serjin, and they were ready to fulfill their goal.
"Are you ready, Miyoko? I'm counting on you", said Kxem.
"Yes", said Miyoko, taking a deep breath, and placing the stone at the top of the pyramid. "Have I done this correctly?", she asked to herself, wondering.
The sky turned from grey to blue, the grass turned from grey to green, and the trees were full of life again. "Is Serjin now free from the curse of the shadow creatures?", wondered Miyoko, mumbling to herself.
Miyoko wanted to go back down again, to check if the land was saved, but Frefa, Ezeg and pretty much everyone else was exhausted. "Okay, okay, let's rest a bit up here. If the land is really saved, there's no hurry", said Miyoko, her legs were really tired as well, and she decided she needed to rest a bit, too. She was still feeling very upset about the death of Duckle and the others.
"Thank you for doing this, everyone", said a familiar voice.
"DUCKLE?!?", said Miyoko, surprised, with a happy grin on her face. She couldn't contain her excitement. "And Anna, hÒllÓween, and Â̜ too!!! Weren't you dead?", she asked, she couldn't believe her eyes. She hugged Duckle and cried a bit.
"We were dead...", said Duckle, "...but now that you have freed us from the curse of the shadow creatures, everyone who has been killed by any shadow entity has come back to life. All the parents who had lost their children because of the shadow creatures can now rejoice, the curse is now over. Thank you, everyone. I will forever be grateful to all of you", said Duckle.
"Is the Shadow Queen dead?", asked Miyoko.
"No, she's not dead. She, just like any other shadow entity, has been cast to the Shadow Realm. She will never be able to hurt us again, and neither can any other shadow entity. We're finally safe, after all this time", said Duckle, sighing in relief and smiling.
"I love you, Duckle ♥♥♥", said Â̜, hugging Duckle and blushing happily.
"I'm glad everything went well", said Samantha, "I'm feeling gassy!", she said, giggling.
"Way to ruin a moment!", said Miyoko, rolling her eyes, "oh, well, actually, it's fine", she said, giggling.
"Uli, do you want to smell my fart?", asked Samantha, grinning.
Uli blushed embarrassed: "N-not in front of the others, Samantha!", she said, feeling very embarrassed. He was still affected by the Eproctophiliophobistani government's propaganda that was everywhere where he grew up, so he was still feeling very insecure about having a fart fetish. The others giggled happily and said that it was fine, that there was nothing to be embarrassed about having a fart fetish.
"Uh... well... I'd still rather not do it in front of you all", said Uli, still blushing.
"Fine, fine! We'll do it when we get back to the multiship, what do you think, Uli?~♥", asked Samantha.
"Y-yeah...", said Uli, smiling nervously.
"Are we all ready to get back down from this pyramid, on the land, to check how everything's going?", asked Miyoko, and the others agreed, too. They felt like they had rested enough, and so they started walking down, it was certainly easier than walking up, and after a while, they were on the land again. There was a huge party and everyone looked really happy and cheerful.
"We were all looking for you!", said the Mayor, "This is a party to thank you all! Please, take all the food and drinks you want, and have fun!", said the Mayor, smiling happily, "Thank you very much, Duckle. And the others, too. Thank you, everyone"
"No problem. I would had done anything to stop the extreme suffering that was going on in this place", said Duckle, smiling serious.
While the travellers were partying and having fun, Samantha noticed something very strange about herself.
"Why am I starting to become transparent?", she asked.
Anna looked at Samantha, serious. "You come from Gaia. The reality you came from is slightly incompatible with a lot of places in Pan, especially the ones we have been all this time. You can only stay in these places for a temporary time, but there is a way to stay here indefinitely. Here, look", said Anna, grabbing two drinks from her hand. A blue juice, and a red juice. "If you drink the blue juice, you'll come back to Gaia, waking up in your bed, and you'll feel like this was just a bizarre dream you had. If you drink the red juice, you'll stay here with us forever. If you don't make a decision in about two and half hours, you'll disappear completely, so hurry up"
Samantha was feeling very undecided, she didn't know what to decide. If she came back to Gaia, she would return to her normal, boring life again, and she'll definitely miss Uli and the others. But if she stays here, she'll never go back to Gaia, where she was born and grew up, and she'll miss Gaia and that kind of life, too. She was thinking that if she comes back to Gaia, Uli will miss her a lot, but on the other hand, he could still smell Ellie's farts. But Samantha will miss Uli a lot, too. And the others. But if she stays here, she will never see her Gaian friends and family ever again. She was stuck between two lives, she liked them both in their own ways, but she needed to make a decision. And it was not an easy one.
"I... I need some time to decide. Maybe 15 minutes or so. I promise", said Samantha, facing such a difficult decision.
"15 minutes is fine, but don't postpone your decision for too long. You have to make one", said Anna.
She spent those 15 minutes thinking, and sometimes talking with Uli and the others. She explained the situation to Uli and he said that he loved spending time with her, not only for smelling her farts but also for friendly company, but at the end, he said that the choice was hers, and he told her to do what she most preferred. 15 minutes passed very quickly, and Samantha had finally made her decision.
"I finally made my decision", said Samantha, taking a deep breath, wondering if her decision was the best one.
"So, what is it?", asked Anna, wondering what Samantha has decided in this juicy dilemma.
