Description An Oddworld Inhabitants Fan Fiction by Teejayyh Stuart
Against All Odds
Chapter 1

It was late afternoon. The sky was a faint pink-to-orange gradient in colour. The air was warm and the wind blew very lightly. Abe lay in under a tree in Spooceshrub forest, enjoying the shade and the peaceful silence.

"Abe!?" yelled a voice. "Abey! Where are ya!?"

"Alf?" asked Abe. He got up and looked around. "Alf!?"

Suddenly Abe spotted a green figure amongst the trees.

"Alf, over here!" he called out.

Alf then spotted him and went over. "Hiya Abey! Raisin wants to see you,"

"Raisin?" asked Abe. "Do you know what he wants?"

"Nope, I was just asked by Big Face to get you. He says it's urgent," Alf explained. "C'mon!"

Abe shrugged and ran off after Alf. The two ran out of the forest and were then standing before a large cave mouth. The cave itself looked exactly like the Raisin himself, a giant sort of seed.

The two walked in cautiously and were confronted by Big Face and the Mudokon Shaman that guided Abe and Munch the Gabbit on their journey two years ago.

"Hey hey! Glad you could make it, Abey! Long-time-no-see, eh?" chimed the Shaman.

"Well hi to you too, I guess. What's going on?" Abe asked, confused.

"You'll find out soon enough. Alf, sorry but you'll have to leave," explained Big Face.

Alf shrugged. "Fine. Laters guys,"

They watched as Alf walked out of the cave. Abe was then pushed into the door of the Raisin's lair. He walked into the darkness as the doors slammed shut behind him. He walked past two Mudokons who were meditating and into a small circle. A faint light shone on him. In the darkness, four intimidating yellow eyes appeared.

"It's about time, Stitch-Lips," said a deep voice.

Abe had a strange case of de-ja vu as he remembered that Raisin has said the exact same thing two years ago when he returned after rescuing Munch.

"I came as fast as I could," he insisted.

"Never mind that now," said Raisin. "I have another task for you,"

"Another one?"

"You've had two years of peace, now you need to step it up and take a very serious matter into your own hands,"

"Well, in that two years I have been blowing up other Glukkon run factories with Alf…"

"This is not the time for excuses and comebacks! Abe, you need to go the planet Earth,"

Abe paused for a bit and thought. "Earth? Where's that?"

"It is a planet far away. It is inhabited by many creatures and is a lot like our own world, even though there are many similarities. The wildlife is like what we have here, only not all are deadly, savage and cunning. The intelligent ones are called Humans. Unlike this planet where there are many types of us which have 'advanced knowledge', there are only the humans on Earth which have such,"

"So why do I need to go there?"

"Because they have discovered us. If they get here, who knows what they'll do. And they're ruining their own planet so I don't even want to think about what they'll do here,"

"So you want me to…?"

"Blow up the lab where they discovered us,"

"Well this can't be hard considering all the other places I've blown…"

"Humans are not like Glukkons, Abe. Humans are all different. Some will kill you, others will perform experiments while the rest watch like Sligs that have been commanded to. That is my warning. And you will go alone,"

Abe sighed. "So how am I going to get there?"

"Big Face along with other Mudokon Shaman will open a portal near the Mongo River. You must leave tonight,"

Abe sighed. "Well, I guess I'd better get going then…"

The Raisin sighed in approval. "Good. Once you reach Earth… you must then…then…". His voice trailed off and then fell asleep.

"Typical," sighed Abe.

Question, when does this story take place? Before or after Oddysee/Exoddus?

2 years after Munch's Oddysee (as stated in the text). Why do you ask?

PEACETHROUGHPOWER In reply to Princess-Shadow [2012-06-20 08:08:42 +0000 UTC]

I think so. Kinda confusing about Earth though since even if he destroys that lab there's still a high probability of witnesses seeing him so yeah, kinda going a bit odd but I guess that's what Oddworld is about I suppose. XD lol Still though, unfortunately I have not even started on Munch's Oddysee or Stranger's Wrath though since you can't find them in stores these days unfortunately... Also, wondering what's keeping chapter 3 waiting. XD Yet I still intend on going through both Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath though since Oddworld goes all the way back to my Childhood after all and it wouldn't be right not to go through them of course, just need to see how I can get them first as I intend to get them for my 360 but of course the game marketplace apparently doesn't care for Oddworld at all as I see nothing of the sort on the 360 marketplace, sad but true... But I will find a way to get them both for my 360 though, somehow, someway. ^^

The lab's actually in an restricted area, so witnesses arent really a problem as they'll all get blown up and whatnot~

You can probably get the games online. Maybe through the website or ebay or something, they're bound to have them there XD there's also the oddboxx pack which includes all the games (i believe all on pc) if you were interested.

What keeping chapter 3 waiting? well the fact no one reads my stuff so i really havent bothered. I can post the next chapter up now if you'd like?

Ah, I see. I thought it was near a city or something like that but if that's the case as you say then I guess it makes sense I guess, I have a feeling he might pick up a friend or so along the way since most stories are kinda like that. XD ha ha ha

Yeah, I remember seeing that on Steam but again, I intend to get Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath for my 360 though. I went through Abe's Oddysee long ago in my childhood and same goes for Abe's Exoddus yet I never completed it so yeah, I fortunately got both Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus for my Steam a few days ago, letting me relive my Childhood again and have gotten 80 mudokons free without any casualties so far and I stopped just after entering Mudanchee vault so I have yet a way to go, PHEW! 220/300 to save this time, MUCH more than in Oddysee. XD Oh well, still doable though. lol

Ah, I see. Well maybe hold it off a bit longer since I have a feeling the fellow who took down this "dragon" in chapter 2 was the Stranger himself so yeah, i'm stopping there until I complete Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath so I will be in the clear for the rest of the story's chapters.

Oh okay that's cool~ Glad you got it : D

Fine with me. Just let me know when you want the next chapter up, you're the only one that reads it XD

Well alright. XD

And yeah, it's been a long time but I do remember the Stranger wielding a shoulder-mounted crossbow weapon so yeah, I faintly but still remember that. lol I still have a long ways to go to save all those Mudokons, 300 of them.... geez.... DX

Princess-Shadow In reply to PEACETHROUGHPOWER [2012-06-28 07:05:42 +0000 UTC]

Close, it's mounted on his lower arm

Oh my gosh, I know, I actually managed to save all 300 about a month ago. I was so proud, after many years FINALLY ;u;

PEACETHROUGHPOWER In reply to Princess-Shadow [2012-06-28 08:59:42 +0000 UTC]

Oops, I meant to say arm-mounted crossbow, I kinda mixed that up accidentally. XD lol

Ha ha ha At least Oddysee was ok with just 99 but 300? Whoa... :<
