Muddy Hell issue 23 January 2016
A lONG, LONG, WAY AWAY CAME THE HEROIC DUO ANTMAN AND RISING STAR IN SEARCH OF SHELTER BEFORE EMBARKING UPON THEIR quest to conquer hell... As they knocked on doors, heads would shake and they were turned away. as darkness fell upon them, their hearts grew heavy as they knew they would have to face the evils that lurked beneath the darkest skies alone. As all hope was fading, an inn keeper and his wife took pity upon them and let them into their dwellings for the night for safe innings.
rising star suddenly jolted awake with fear in her eyes, antman still in a dreary daze was concerned as she announced she dreamt of muddy hell and the mudsters that they defeated at the mountain have found them and are seeking their revenge.
pleased that they could rest before their next adventure and after filling their bellies, their eyes drew heavy and muddy hell dreams came quickly.
the sun started to rise as the duo said their goodbyes to the inn keeper and his wife and set off to meet the rest of the warriors at the gates of helllllll!!!!
It was great to meet up with the rest of the warriors as they embarked upon their new quest.
the hunter was still battling a wild horned beast in the far away lands protecting all that he loved. the warriors would miss his skills dearly, but welcomed the two new recruits that he sent in his wake. shoulders and the newbie were getting ready to join the fight at the gates of hell, little did they know what was to come....
The gates to hell burned brightly as the warriors prepared for another adventure... the mudsters were already hot on their trail as the warriors clambered over the high walls!
As a test of strength and endurance, the gate keepers had the warriors, find and carry water from the fresh springs.
how far to the end???
through gritted teeth the warriors found their way through the maze and were eventually granted passage.
the warriors could feel the mudsters getting closer and quickly tried to get over another wall only to be confronted with the swings of death. if you weren't careful you could get lost forever!!!
the warriors soon had no choice but to cross the infested waters in order to continue their journey... ant man was getting weary and thirsty and was being tempted to drink the infested waters, but luckily he came to his senses before it was too late!!

They had caught up with mr nice guy as he was helping some civilians escape the gates of hell skull face also appeared to help in defying the mudsters as the got over the bars to hell. the machine powered ahead to help clear the way for the rest of they warriors, but the mudsters just kept appearing. rising star and the newbie battled the mudsters from above and with a kick they were gone!! and with that kick the mudsters retreated to beneath the ground. this is what i think of you mudsters!!! go back to where you came from!!!
Oh no the danger isn't over!!! the tyre centipede has found them and this time he's not alone. as they slowly gobbled up the warriors, they had to again breath and squeeze to find the other side... but luckily for them, the tyre centipede had grown since there last encounter at the mountain and it was a little easier to slide through and escape.
Thank the mud stars the tyre centipede had grown...
But wait... the tyre centipede has morphed into a tyre wall... the warriors had to quickly get over before they were centipede dust...
Fantastically fit was relieved to finally get to the top after a close call at the bottom.
It was too risky for mr nice guy to plant his feet on the floor and the only option was to hang onto the crust of the centipede as the rest of the ocr warriors tried to defeat this new tyre beast. ant man was close to getting engulfed but the machine managed to pull him free to the other side. whist the quakka made her way up before it was too late.
i'll just hang on while you all get through to the other side...
The unthinkable just happened - the tyre centipede did it again... but how?? luckily the ocr warriors escaped the confides of its stomach and made haste above the centipede, by working together they eventually distroyed the beast...
It would be so much easier if he stopped breathing!!
after a quick escape from the centipede and in hope that it doesn't regenerate, the warriors head off onto their quest again, knowing that the mudsters still haven't quite caught them but knew they wouldn't be that far behind. As they heard something in the distance, rising star hid behind the tree to get a better view, as the quakka basked in the conquest against the centipede.
The warriors were feeling elated with their last defeat, but were still weary of being poisoned on the forest floor. The team found a way to get above the floor, as the poisonous plants threatened to seed their deadly sap. After finding safe shelter in some low lying caves, the newbie and the machine immersed from the entrance and confirmed that it was safe for the warriors leave. little did the warriors know what lay ahead, the tyre centipede evolved and is seeking its revenge.
some friendly faces confirmed that they hadnt seen anything lurking within the gates of hell and felt it safe for the warriors to continue...
As the warriors trekked on, they suddenly realised that the tyre centipede had morphed again and was bigger then ever!!! There was no way to get past, what were the warriors going to do>>
Mr nice guy climbed into the tyre centipede stomach to clear the path for the rest of the warriors, and with a squeeze and jiggel he made it!!! phew
fantastically fit was filled with joy when she emerged from the rear end! trouble lay ahead as the tyre centipede captured the friendly face and swolled him whole, but somehow he managed to slither his was out upside down!!
With determination on their faces the warriors fought their way through the stink and slime of the tyre centipede, one by one they emerged.
they all ran to the closet hide-e-hole to escape the evil clutches of the tyre centipede before it could morph again!!!
They choose the long way up and with a leap and a bound made it to the top..
The warriors had to hurry as they huddled close to work out which way to go next...
I feel on top of the world
the road ahead was unclear... as they tripped and fell into the bungee spider web of death...
as they made there way through the uneven ground... suddenly!!!
the machine was knocked to the ground... Slightly shocked, dazed and confused by the sudden attack. The machine had but no choice but to get through the web before the bungee spider returned to finish him off...
The warriors continued, but stopped off at hells mount to recharge their heroic enegeries... the mudsters were gaining ground and were close behind. as they felt more alive, they realised they got to another point in hell, where they were at risk from being poisoned just by touching the ground. carefully they made their way across the slippery surfaces until they felt safe to touch the ground once again.
its a close call for ant man, who is stronger than your average ant, as he was nearly lost amongst hells grounds.
Sss shhh no one saw a thing!
Fantastically fit noticed something a little strange with the machine, she could have sworn she had saw something enter somewhere no-one should go.
no one knew that something had taken over the machine, as the warriors climbed the ropes from hell... only to be quickly knocked down again as the mudsters drew near.

shoulders used all his strength to get up and over hells walls.
lets face it! there was no where to escape, so the warriors stayed low and out of sights, beneath the spiked ceiling. crawling slowly.
it was a long slow struggle, with relief they made it to the end. exhausted once again, they needed to keep going. how can it be that the tyre centipede had returned??? to try and make sure it didnt happen again, the warriors destroyed the centipede, sections of the tyre centipede went all over the place. no way could it transform into something else now...
the relief as some of whatever had entered the machine had eventually made its way out... better be more aware that it doesn't happen again
The time keeper had made an appearance checking up on the warriors and making sure they headed in the right direction. it looks like the mudsters are closer than the warriors think. they best start moving... picking up some weapons as they moved through hells swamp... true to his nature, mr nice guy tests out the waters first to ensure it is safe to cross.
worried about the tyre centipede retiring and demolishing the warriors, the time keeper advised them of a very very special plant that would repel all types of tyre centipedes. luckily the warriors stumbled across the plant and took some for safe keeping.
they crossed rivers, and lakes, rocks and mountains... the road was long and weary but the warriors were keeping up brave appearances as they tackled on... with their trusty weapons close at hand, the rain started to come down, but still the warriors moved forward...
the water was murky and dirty...
to lift their spirits, miss flippy appeared, giving words of encouragement and advice on how to defeat the mudsters that were drawing nearer... feeling empowered to keep moving, defeating anything that got in their way. as they crossed the valley of rings, trying not to wake the evils that lay beneath the waters...
I guess all the evils hadnt been released from the machine, as he tried to shake the warriors off and into the murky waters below...
with a sigh of relief they all made it across, but no one had noticed the machines trying to sabotage the warriors efforts...
the only person that had not been affected by the swamps was the machine... were the warriors being led to their immortal danger???
the swamps waters were filled with many challenges to get across, they felt vulnerable to the clutches as they lost their weapons at the valley of rings..
the machine led the warriors to the where the mudsters lay beneath the mud awaiting their attack when they least expected it!!! the newbie having not battled the mudsters before, tried to make peace with them. all seemed to be going well as the mud stilled and went quiet.
I'm so happy this is nearly over
the machine basked in his glory as he misguided the team. but suddenly... ant man got pulled from one of the mudsters that lay on the bed of mud. but as quickly as he was pulled beneath, he was released. phew!!! confused, ant man drew a sigh of relief...
haa haa its not over yet!!!
something was still not quite right.. it was all to easy...

skull face leaped for joy as the mudsters were defeated...
the warriors were pleased but somewhat worry, as the waters cleared and the mud dispersed...
there was still a long and hard climb to the top as the newbie gave it all her efforts...
fantastically fit and the quakka raced to the top of the slippery wall, filled with joy and happiness with yet another conquest completed... or so they thought!!!
one by one they traversed along the rope, grateful for the help received by the machine. but as ant man came across, the rope started to swing!!! the machine was moving the rope so ant man would fall to the darkest depths below to be forever lost as he would be turned into a mudster!!
the warriors needed to be quick if they didnt want any other warrior to be possessed.
the journey to get outta hell was proving to be a more tetucious one, which took all their energy. still nervous about the mudsters, the machine needed to start destroying the warriors one by one, before it was to late... and he to turned into a mudster!!
ant man had to crawl low as he made haste through the netted swamps.
My Plan working... haa haa hhaaaaa
seeing ant mans difficulties the other warriors opted for the safest course and went over the netted swamps.
nothing could have prepared them for what happened next...
with a gulp a mama tyre centipede ate the warriors in revenge of them destroying her little baby that they had destroyed earlier...
with a bang, pow and kapoow, the warriors slithered their way through the mudsters mama tyre centipedes!!
lucky the warriors had found the magic plant that the time keeper had told them about as the tyre centipede spat each of warriors out. it wasn't over as the bungee spider had returned with the aftermath of the tyre centipede. the warriors fought through the web, and they eventually made it to the other side!!
they climbed the totem pole higher and higher. they could see the lands far and wide... they were trying to see how they could escape the gates of hell, but they couldn't see beyond the lands, and knew that their journey was still a long one.
the warriors were getting hungry and tired, as they fought the mudsters and the tyre centipede. The machines (still possessed) could still cross the poisonous lands without being affected, so he helped fantastically fit across the beams trying to deceive the warriors!!!
when will the warriors realise the danger they are still in?
who knew what dangers lay beneath the murky waters, as they hugged the wall tightly, one by one the warriors made it across.
then daddy tyre centipede appeared!!! angry and upset it grew bigger and bigger, not allowing the warriors to easily get past.
of course that was not going to stop the team, as they braved the murky waters to battle the daddy tyre centipede!!!
the warriors defeated the daddy with a crack, lighting the hercules hoist up as high as they could, demolishing the event entities of hell!!! hoorraayyyy
fantastically fit checked the path ahead, making sure there were no further dangers lurking...
quickly hopping over the warriors were feeling triumphant. they had come along way since destroying the mudsters and the family of tyre centipedes. they knew their journey was close to an end, but no-one knew about the machines possession. the question was are the warriors still in danger as they approached another barrier???
the warriors joined together and worked out the best way to get across... of course they did, did you really doubt them??
were getting w... close no a baa haa ha haa
one by one they got as low as possible and crawled their way through the continued immortal dangers...
ant man protected rising star from the cold, whilst fantastically fit scared off any air born entities that were attacking. straddling the wall fantastically fit and shoulders got high again to check the path that lay ahead.
the only way to the other side is to go through it!!
the mama tyre centipede has returned and tried something new to try and overpower the almighty warriors, but try as it might, the warriors came at all angels and destroyed the beast. finally it retreated, never to be seen again... for now...
the skies got clear, the warriors were feeling delighted as the fields opened up and the flowers bloomed. but they suddenly realised that they must be getting close to the gates of hell and to going home...
there are always more obstacle in the way!!! the cotton reels slowing the team down... trying as he might, the machine tried again to lurk the warriors to their deaths before they knew what was happening.
the machine knew he needed to act quickly before it was to late.
suddenly the baby tyre centipede had returned!!! but this time, something was different... remembering how the newbie was trying to befriend him, it wanted to try and help the warriors...
it started to squeeze the evil possession from the machine, with a squeeze and push, the evil within the machine was vanquished!!
although the mudsters had been defeated, they still played out a few more obstacles to stop the warriors from escaping the comfounds of hell.
how are we going to defeat that???
they could feel the end was close...
they decided to slowly climb over the warriors... little did they know they still had an even bigger obstacle to conquer before they escaped.
the hardest obstacle the warriors had yet to get past was next, taking their time to workout how to get over the wall, across, up and over !!!
by working together as one, they were approaching the end.
just look out for the skid marks!
celebrations and cheers the warriors had made it!!!
can someone please tell me what happened!
skull face and mr nice guy celebrated the warriors safe return.
the machine was afraid that skull face may have also been possessed, so he tried to squeeze him as much as possible. another adventure is completed, the mudsters defeated and the tyre centipedes became allies.
the warriors triumphed!!
