Trials of Ukuni.

By FOXCARROTS

Part Six

“The Lair of Hungry Mouths.”

    Ukuni and Comet continued on with their purpose plain on her mind. She new she had to put a stop to the vile octopus now and free their comrades from a gooey prison they would need luck to ever escape. The pair used the last of the pepper spray to create a coating on their skin so they would not be stuck should they encounter any more goo. They knew it was only a matter of time until it was absorbed so they had to work fast. The pair got deeper and deeper in the cave and realized that their swim outfits might not be fully equipped for the hardships ahead. The tide was out, and the sea worn surfaces were smooth and threatened to take their feet out from under them at any moment.

    They got past a long corridor of slick stone and splashing waves. The smell of the octopus grew ever more pungent, and they knew they were on the right path. Ukuni paused for a moment to gather her thoughts, raising her arms and stretching her muscles. Her toned underarms flexed, and her breasts swelled. Comet stood behind, she feared what had happened to the others and didn't want to let her anxiety distract her from protecting herself and getting the mission done. The pair continued on, finding themselves in a sort of underwater grove, all matter of aquatic plants poked up from the ground, covering small sea vents of various kinds. Light poured in from holes in the rock ceiling, creating beams of light that illuminated paths through the grove. Comet took a step, not realizing her foot went over one of these holes. A gout of hot acidic water blasted her sole, causing her to feel an itching pain that made her hop back on one foot.

    Comet rubbed her aching foot and the sensation slowly receded. The acid was not enough to burn but enough to cause an itching sensation that hung around stubbornly even after the burning had gone. As she looked around, she noticed many of these vents and others like them, not only from the floor but from the walls and outcroppings. She knew she would have to be careful!



    “Don’t do that again.” Ukuni said simply. “We cannot afford mistakes.”

    “Got it!” Comet said. She went further, careful not to set foot on one of the vents and get blasted again. It was hard to do as the floor was slick and not all of the vents were as visible as the last. She put a toe on one and gasped but before she could fully get out of the way a gout of acidic steam blasted up and hit her in her thighs. She rubbed herself as she strained to keep off other vents. She started to have her doubts, surely this place was too dangerous a place to come without protective clothes. However, she knew how dangerous this octopus had already proven and she was already here. She had to press on, and she steeled her mind to do just that.

    Comet got a little too close to one of the side vents and it shot out at her...this one, unlike the acidic steam did not hurt...in fact it felt rather pleasant. It was bright pink and left a colourful mark where it hit. It wasn't until Comet rubbed at the bright pink spot when she realized that it was not as it seemed. The pink colour from the blast had left an intensive dye upon her skin and no amount of rubbing could lessen it.



    “What is that stuff?” Ukuni asked. “Does it hurt?”



    “No.” Comet replied as she scrubbed at it. “But it won’t come off!’



    “It is like a tattoo.” Ukuni said as she examined the dye. “It is unlikely to ever come off.”



    “Wonderful.” Comet said in a sarcastic tone. The pain from the acidic ones she could handle but her nearly uncovered body permanently stained with neon colours...that was too much!

    The pair moved quickly, the steam from below stung their feet, blue, green, red, liquids sprayed on her from the side. Ukuni was proficient in dodging but by the time Comet was past the field of vents she looked like she had been half body-painted, all in colours unlikely to come off. Comet sighed...she had already come so far, she had to go on. That was when she noticed the vents had changed, they were rubbery and larger, all puckering and moving like mouths in the ground.

    “Be careful!” A voice warned. It was a ninja, sunk into one of the holes to her calf, the ground around tightly gripping it. The pair looked around to see two other women one up to her thigh in a hole, one leaning against a wall up to her bicep into one of the mouth like openings. All were marked by the dye as if they had gone trough the challenge, she had but ended up in the next traps.

    “What are these things?” Ukuni asked, carefully making sure her feet were nowhere near one.

    “We don't know.” The bicep trapped monk replied as she tugged on her arm, and it wouldn't so much as budge. “But you so much as put a pinky or pinky toe in one and they suck you in. I can’t even move my fingers...its like I'm sealed into cement!”

    “My foot might as well be gone.” A ninja replied. “It is like it isn't there!”



    “Can we get them free of these holes?” Comet asked. “We have to do something.”



    Ukuni nodded slowly. “I suppose every person we free is another person that can help us succeed in this mission.” Ukuni and Comet went to either side of the monk who was trapped to her thigh. They took hold of her arms and shoulders and lifted together as one. They struggled and strained as the monk used her free foot to add to their strength to push up. It was as if her leg was rooted in cement and did not budge one inch.



    “Can you shift your leg or foot?” Comet asked. “We got to do something to break the pressure.

    “No, it is airtight!” The monk responded. “I can’t even wiggle my toes at all. I can barely feel them.”



    “Try to help me!” One of the ninjas suggested. “My hole only has me to the calf. Maybe we can break me free!”



    Comet and Ukuni moved to help the ninja each taking a hold of an arm and bracing her shoulder by gripping in her armpits. They had a lot more mobility to work with and pulled up and back. However, the hole was tight around the girls calf, indenting on her skin and creating an airtight seal. They strained and pulled but felt like they would pull the girls leg off at the knee before they got her free.



    “Dammit I thought I would come free.” The ninja commented. “But this hole has my foot like a hungry predator has it’s next meal.”



    “Can you feel anything in there with your foot?” Ukuni asked. “Something that has a hold on it or something?”



    The ninja strained. “To tell you the truth I cant even rotate my ankle. It is like its encased with something. It’s not like it’s against stone its just…kind of locked.”



    “I can kind of feel my hand.” The bicep trapped monk explained. “Help me pull and I will see what I can do to break the pressure from within.”



    Comet and Ukuni came over to the girl and grabbed tight holds on her body. They pulled, strained, and twisted but the stone around her bicep was locked tight and they could not budge her. As Comet pulled Ukuni drew a knife and begin to try and get it into the hole with the woman’s bicep but the line between where the flesh ended, and the rock began was so tight even her blade could not pierce it.

    “This is insane!” Ukuni replied. “What kind of air pressure cannot be released like this?”

“I don’t think it is air.” Comet replied. “This is much stronger.”

    “Air wouldn’t lock up my entire hand and wrist.” The ninja commented. “It is like a mucus or slime and the fluid pressure had made it as strong or stronger than the very stone. I think you’d have to chisel away the rock and dig our limbs out to have a chance of freeing us.”

    “There's no way out of this for us.” The ninja said as she looked down at her leg with dismay. “You need to get that octopus. Make our stuck fates worth something!”

    “I will!” Comet assured. “Just like the girls stuck in the slime I won’t let this be the end. I will find the octopus, kill it and then we can worry about rescue.”

    The pair headed off, the three girls giving them advice and helping them see the traps ahead. Inch by inch, foot by foot they made her way through the room, keeping their limbs free of the holes. However, as Comet got to the door at the other end, she felt something pull at her heel. It was directly over a hole and the hole started to grow and pull her foot toward it. Comet grabbed a hold of a part of the rocky wall and strained Ukuni grabbed her and braced herself as an anchor. Comet felt all the muscles in her leg pull tight and she barely was able to start to pull away before being sucked into the hole. She leaned against the wall and caught her breath, so close to becoming a prisoner in the grove with the others.

    “Go on!” One of the monks shouted. “That's it's lair beyond! There's no escape for it now!”

    Comet saluted her trapped comrades and headed off for their final confrontation with the octopus.
