Well, guys. Here it is. Chapter 6 is out. I know, I know; it's not as long as long as my other chapters, but it's been a while since I released a chapter, so I needed to speed things up.
Chapter 6: A Lucky Find
“She’ll be comin’ around the mountain when she comes! She’ll be comin’ around the mountain when she comes! She’ll be comin’ around the mountain, she’ll be comin’ around the__”
“MIC!”
“Sorry.”
They were both cranky. Brandobrawl and MIC had both traveled over tall mountains and deserts of no water, no oases, and no hope. They had no clue where the real Runouw was. But they figured they could get some kind of clue if they went to the forums. One problem: Where the heck was that?
It had been nearly 8 hours since Brando and MIC had ditched. Without any sleep, food, or water, they were both tired. MIC slowed down once in a while, thinking he was unable to go on. But Brando had hope, and willed MIC to keep going. Brando was tired as well.

Meanwhile, at Mcleodgaming.com…
“I’ll show you how to dig!” The fake Runouw hit Megamario with a shovel, and gave it back to him to continue digging. Runouw was making all the users dig a big hole, which they were planning to make a pool out of; Registered users of Mcleodgaming only, so no one of Runouw.com could use it when it was done.
Greg went up to Runouw. “So friend, what do you want me to do about those 2 runaway’s?”
Runouw tensed. “Your forums are located in the harshest of places, where if you don’t know how to take care of yourself, you’re out. I’m sure they’re dead, and after death, there’s nothing we can do.”
“So I should call of the search?”
“Yes.”

Back at the Bermuda Triangle…
The three were panicking. How could they fight something 20X their size?
The shark made a dive under, because it was going to make an attempt at snatching them and dragging them under one at a time. They all knew it. “WHAT DO WE DO? WHAT DO WE DO?” Blablob tensed with fear.
“Calm down, Blablob,” Said Niklaw with calmness, “I’m a good swimmer. I’ll try to lure it away.” Niklaw swam the opposite direction of the shark; where it had plunged into the ocean, that is. Thank God there weren’t any strong currents or waves today.
“Niklaw! Swim faster!” Screeched Blablob.
“Thanks for the tip, mate!” Yelled back Niklaw, with a sarcastic tone.
Blablob himself was not a very good swimmer; he had to cling to Suyo while still paddling his feet. His shoes were weighing him down, so it was harder to swim than it usually was.
Blablob looked around. Where did the shark go? He looked into the big blue, seeing part of a reflection, but no shark. “Where did it go?”
By now, Niklaw was far enough where if the shark got him, the other two would be out of harm’s way. But…what if it does get Niklaw?
All three tensed for a second. There was a pause; not even the cricket of dramatic silence. They all waited. And then, it arrived.
The beast lunged out of the water—it must have gone at least 200 feet into the air—right in front of Niklaw. Niklaw himself was flabbergasted, and for the most part in absolute shock. He watched as the beast flew over him, and into the water again, creating a huge wave which demolished Niklaw.
And then, they were gone.
Niklaw was pushed under the ocean, but he hadn’t come up, and the shark simply vanished. They both had. All that was left were Blablob and Suyo.
“Where did they go?” Asked Blablob.
“Not sure.” Suyo and Blablob were both confused. Suddenly, Blablob reacted. “HOLY CRAP! SUYO, LOOK!”
Suyo looked into the direction in which Blablob was pointing. There lied an island. “I see, and….why are you reacting so loudly?”
“Because we’re gonna live!”
“I understand that. But instead of screaming about it, let’s go.”
“Wait, can I hold onto you while you swim there?”
“Err, whatever.”
Suyo swam over to the island, which was oddly shaped like a fist, with Blablob holding on for the ride. They arrived onto the shore of the island, and they both rested.
Miles and miles away from home, and with Kympo destroyed and Niklaw gone, and no way home; what were they going to do?

Meanwhile at Runouw’s Forum...
“Finally, we’re here.” Brando sighed with relief. His first thought: They better have some food here.
“Yeah, we are here. It was easy. A little TOO easy, don’t you think?” MIC was a little suspicious.
“You got a point, MIC. What are the chances we’d run into this place, anyway?”
“Perhaps we just got lucky. Or maybe they wanted us to come here.”
“Well if they wanted us to come, then they’ve made a terrible mistake.”
The building didn’t look any different than before. A brick square, three floors tall. Nothing special.
They both snuck into the building. They figured the place was crawling with Spammers; that was what they did best, right? After passing by a few Spammers, unseen, they found a room which all users were prohibited from access.
Forum 23, was all it read on the door.
Brando and MIC looked at each other. Brando nodded. MIC slowly opened the door, and a dim blue light came from the room. The light lied above a chamber, with a window above it. MIC went over and looked through the window.
“Oh my God. Brando, get your buns over here and take a look at this.”
Brando, concerned, went over and looked through the glass. “Oh no. Not good.”
Runouw, the REAL Runouw, lied inside the chamber, asleep. How could they have captured him, they thought?
And suddenly, the alarm was sounded. Both of them were in trouble.
