We are here to save your lifeThe fool, the drunk, the child, and his wife

We gonna chase the demons out of town
-Soft Revolution, Stars
Okay so. I have this Alternate Universe for Hey Arnold! that I refer to as the Darkverse and it involves monsters taking over Hillwood and a small resistance group led by Big Bob Pataki (until he dies LOL) and the story is mostly about Helga and how she has changed and it deals with hope and love and strength and I will probably never write it but whatever.
Amidst all of this is Rhonda's story, which isn't super important in the overall scheme of things, but it's a story that I personally find interesting. Both Rhonda and Helga end up as leaders of their respective groups and both have to sort of deal with what that responsibility means and the girls also have a rivalry, but it eventually turns into Helga just doing SO MUCH better than Rhonda could ever hope to do and that affects her deeply and also a lot of their friends are dead or die along the way and so there's a lot of dealings with growing up in the midst of that.
SO.
This is after Rhonda's team goes out on their first solo mission (along with the majority of their class). Everyone's about 14 at this point. Only Rhonda and Helga manage to bring their teams back in one piece. Every other team suffers casualties. Those who make it back are rewarded with a crapload of booze because Bob is a really irresponsible leader.
So everyone gets drunk and miserable and they try to pretend that they're actually not scared shitless, but they are 14 year olds pretending to be soldiers and it's not an easy thing to deal with.
Anyway, this is just Rhonda and her team making their way back to base. They're kind of banged up, but they're alive. For now anyway.

Haha, if I ever do get around to writing it it'll probably take forever to finish.
Thanks!

Cool. I wonder how everything turns out.
I've been playing Left 4 Dead 2 recently, a zombie-apocalypse shooting game. This kind of reminds me of that.

It actually ends up with a lot of characters dead because I'm the meanest. XD
However, I think the end result has Helga/Arnold saving the day and possibly resetting time? IDK I haven't thought it out that far yet.

Poor Rhonda, you know Stinky and Sid should really be helping her help Harold back to the base! He's about to topple on her! See I guess I have this vision of Rhonda being this toughass chick that would throw Harold on her rather delicate shoulders and drag him back with a look of determination on his face. But thats just the Helga Pataki in me I guess...In my mind all women turn out to be as kick ass as Helga Pataki XD.

Haha, they should help (at least Sid should since he mostly just looks like he's being whiny while Stinky is actually helping by at least keeping a lookout), but I imagine they'll just sit with their thumbs up their asses until Rhonda yells at them.
Rhonda is a pretty toughass chick, but she's still a fourteen year old (injured) girl who's trying to help support a lot of weight. She's doing her best.
Also, man if the Rhonda in this AU heard you talking about how awesome Helga is she'd get so annoyed. She is totally jealous of Helga's strength and leadership skills in this story and is completely determined to be better than the Hell Girl.

Hey! I never said I didn't love Rhon' Rhon'! She's awesome in her own sexy way, but since she can't be sexy right know, she just has to turn it up a couple notches!!

Haha, Bob's the leader for about... 7ish years and then he dies and Helga takes over (even though people are terrified of her because she had a run in with one of the monsters and now she's got a Creecher eye and they think she's gonna turn on them all one day). But she's damn good at her job.

NO doubt; she's a tough leader but one that actually cares.

Well, Bob does care in small ways. He has a big shift in priorities when the world goes to hell.
But Helga's definitely a little more understanding than her father was.

I've been developing this storyline for yeeeears. It's a really cool idea, but the amount of writing I would have to do to tell it is incredibly daunting for me since I'm a very casual writer.
I'll probably do more pictures in this universe over time since I really do enjoy working in it, but IDK if I'll ever actually make it into a solid story.
ps will it make you love rhonda/harold even more if i tell that when they get back to the base and bob allows them to get drunk off their asses rhonda then kisses harold for the first time and then is like: "LOOK IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING THAT I KISSED YOU I JUST WANTED TO DO IT OKAY THAT'S ALL." and Harold's all: "♥___♥"
