Zach's corpse remained in the open field for all to see. Curtis and the other ten adventurers all stayed quiet in their hiding spots in order to avoid General Igor's wrath.
Several wooding buildings were now reduced to nothing but ash. The coals remained smoldering as the distraught villagers were left to deal with the mess.
To avoid further death and destruction, Chieftain Booda gathered many children of the village to put on their holiday stage play. The young native boys and girls fought back tears as they sang happy Thanksgiving songs atop the wooden platform. General Igor scoffed from the bench below.
"WTF is this?? it was so good at the start but they punted it hard holy shit. how does it turn to garbage so quick. predictable plotting, the characters are trash, these kids are fucking awful singers. will not continue to watch."
Patrick watched the play gleefully from his hiding spot. "The wife and I love this one." he said to KC with a smile. KC shook his head disappointingly.
Igor lunged upwards from the bench and shoved several of the children onto the ground as he crossed the stage and entered the center of the village.
"this shit hole is missing something...some festive decorations. SERVANT! bring me one of my portraits to hang up somewhere."
Everyone's gaze turned to the ship as a dark figure began to limp its way down the ramp...
"oh men" said Jeffrey.
"Jeffrey?!" Curtis exclaimed. He jumped out of his hiding spot and into the open, blowing his cover. "Jeffrey, what are you doing here? You're serving this monster now?!"
Jeffrey had fallen asleep standing up but snapped back to attention as he heard the familiar voice of his previous master. Jeffrey served Curtis faithfully during the Halloween and Christmas seasons of 2013 before vanishing for several years after an incident at the North Pole. Curtis hadn't seen or heard from him since.
"ahh look who it is, a corrupt ginger bitch" said General Igor as he turned his attention to Curtis. "guards, search for his friends! they must be here somewhere."
It didn't take long for the rest of the group to be found. Merc and Igor were pulled down from the tree. Rose and DS were ripped out from underneath the table. The rest of the crew soon followed as all ten were assembled before General Igor.
"what a merry band of dumb fucks." he said as they were forced to their knees before him. "were you hiding from me idiots? you are probably dumber than the natives. not close to being close."
Igor contemplated for a few seconds before motioning to the hunchback. "jeffrey! hand me the jar from my bag there. hurry the fuck up idiot."
"ohh men oh men" Jeff mumbled under his breath as he dug around the bag before finding the glass jar.
Igor swirled the liquid contents around menacingly. "copped this from a witch bitch during a pillage two months ago. been meaning to see what it does. how about you all test it out for me?"
"Sorry, but I only drink Pepsi and water." said Curtis as he politely protested and rose to his feet. A guard bashed him over the back of the neck and sent him crashing down to the ground.
Igor's soldiers swarmed the eleven explorers and force fed them a few drops of the liquid. The group gagged and tried to spit the substance out, fearing the worst.
"Am I poisoned twice now? Just my luck." said Patrick.
Suddenly, a flash of light swallowed the center of the village. General Igor and his soldiers shielded their eyes from the bright light while Jeffrey stared directly into it, unaffected and unphased.
The light slowly dissipated and General Igor couldn't believe his eyes. What were once eleven different people were now eleven different species of animals sprawled out along the grass.
"HAHAH. HOLY SHIT. FUCKING EPIC. THAT SHIT TURNED YOU ALL INTO GARBAGE ANIMALS!"
The group looked down at their bodies the best they could. Nofo and Bryce flapped around a few feet off the ground as an owl and a sparrow. Igor and Brian were standing side by side as a buck and a doe. KC Wolf was now...a wolf. DS was a bear cub, Patrick a sly fox, Rose a crafty raccoon, and Jamie a small bunny.
"Watch it!" Merc squeaked out as Igor's hoof took a step forward. Igor looked down and saw a small rodent, no bigger than a fist.
"What the shit is this." Nofo said as he continued to fly around with Bryce.
"How the fuck am I supposed to smoke?" asked Igor. "I can't grip anything with these hooves!"
Everyone began to panic as the grim reality set in - they were trapped in these furry figures, possibly permanently.
"idk i kinda like it" said Jamie as he hopped around the tall grass.
"Uhhh...where's Curtis?" asked Rose.
"I'M DOWN HERE IDIOTS"
Everyone lifted their paws and hooves and looked far down into the grass. At the tip of a blade of leaf, nearly microscopic, sat Curtis...
"I'M FUCKING SPERM. EVERYONE GOT A COOL ANIMAL AND I'M STUCK AS ANIMAL CUM. HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE"
"HAHAH. the ginger bitch is stuck as animal sperm. thats so rich holy shit." laughed General Igor.
"Great. Just great"
