The Online Craftsmaster 113 Scrappy′s return

The Group of dwarves were standing before the Vault door crying manly tears when dozens of other dwarf came running heavily armed after they heard the commotion of the fight. They saw a sight they have not expected, about ten dwarves including their king sitting in front of the Vault crying as if they were small children that got their candy stolen.

But soon they understood when suddenly loudly banged against the vault door and their King explained them what happened and how the selfless guest sacrificed himself to allow them to look the Cerbicor inside of the vault. When they heard that these battle hardened dwarves took off their helm laid their weapons on the ground and knelt before the Vault door to offer this magnificent being their respect.

Even now you could hear the mighty beast thrash around in the Vault it was an impressive show of how much power this beast has, the vault doors were about two meter thick metal that was moved and locked by massive gears that moved the door into its place and moved ten half meter thick bolts into the wall to lock the door in place. Usually you would hear nothing through that amount of wall and Steel but they could basically feel the ground trembling under the ancient might of this trapped beast. Once again the group of Dwarves said their thanks and respects to their benefactor while deciding to guard the Vault that has become a tomb now, for the next three days...

...Scrappy felt happy and bad at the same time, he was happy that he finally found a way inside this beast that might have swallowed tons of precious scrap, especially some of the scrap that had accompanied him for the entire Journey. But he felt bad because he was drenched in mucus and saliva, it was disgusting and if Scrappy had a nose he would probably vomit from the smell that was wafting around.

At first Scrappy saw two rows of strange white hard things on his way into the beast, he thought that it could be some kind of scrap so he just managed to grab one and pull it out of the fleshy part that was around him. But unfortunately it wasn't scrap but Scrappy thought that if did the work of collecting it then even though it was no scrap he still could keep it.

Next Scrappy travelled through a some kind of hose made out of flesh that led him into a giant cave out of flesh that even had lakes and islands and stuff. Scrappy landed on one of those islands and happily saw that there were already hundreds of scrap pieces laying around, and not some of that low class Scrap that could probably still be used by people, but some high-class stuff that was completely destroyed. So Scrappy gleefully got to work collecting every single piece of scrap while searching for his special piece of Scrap. Soon in his scrap collecting spree Scrappy reached one of the walls of this  strange case and could see that some scrap piece were trapped between several fold of the wall, so Scrappy got to work and started cutting the poor pieces of scrap out of the wall which resulted in rambling and trembling of the whole ground...

...this one is a Cerbicor, it loves to refer itself in the third person, it was happily living its life in the nether folds when something dragged it into this room, but that wasn't so bad this one found interesting prey. Some kind of two legged drumstick or so, but it was easy for this one to hunt it, but as its prey was so small it tried to just nibble on it slowly when suddenly more of those two legged drumsticks entered the room.

The Drumsticks tried to fight with this mighty one but their seasoning sticks didn't even hurt this one so it just killed them. But then this one felt an annoying itch on its flank and a strange being was scratching it, when this one looked at it, it was astonished as this being was completely made out of seasoning, but it kept on itching this magnificent one so even though this one heard that too much seasoning was bad for it and would even taste that good it still gulped the annoying being down.

After this one was finished gobbling down this strange being it wanted to hunt the rest of those drumsticks but unfortunately it couldnt find them anymore, so it just started nibbling on the one it killed. Suddenly this one felt a strange sensation in its belly, something seemed to move and this one remembered the advice its parents gave it. They always said to this one that it should chew his food thoroughly, and they also said to this one that it should always check if its prey was contaminated with some kind of parasites.

But this one didn't find any parasites so it just would keep the other advice about chewing its prey in mind in the future. And even though something was moving inside of this one's belly, it knew that it would soon die and this one also felt like it helped this one digesting its food as its belly felt more and more empty allowing this one to eat more.

Suddenly this one's belly started aching and it was throwing its head around, clawing at the walls and stomping on the floor. This one never felt as much pain as it felt now, it just couldn't keep it inside, this magnificent being had to cry out in pain causing the whole room to shake...

...Scrappy was finished collecting all the scrap in the wall and even though the whole cave was shaking and rumbling, scrappy just clawed himself more tightly into the wall to get all the scrap out of it. Now it started collecting the scrap on the ground again, still searching for its precious scrap piece. But when it wanted to grab another piece of scrap he missed it as it was sliding out of his reach falling into the pond of greenish clear liquid. He wanted to grab it soon after but as his hand touched the piece it broke away and crumbled into dust and vanished shortly after dissolved by this liquid.

Scrappy´s heart broke at this sight and pure rage overcame him when he thought about his precious piece of scrap he was searching and all the other pieces of scrap Scrappy could have collected inside of this cave if it wasn't for this cursed liquid. So Scrappy quickly collected the rest of the scrap always getting even angrier when another piece fell into the liquid and decided that he would bring this poor scrap that deserved to live out of this place...

...This one was still laying on the floor, its pain subsided after a while but it still felt a little bit of burning inside its belly, this one decide it would eat less seasoning in the future and that it would thoroughly chew its food into the future. But suddenly this one´s belly started hurting again, it was rolling on the floor in pain clenching its muscular belly. Suddenly this one felt that something ripped inside this one´s body resulting in enormous pain.

But this one suddenly felt another kind of pain that was even worse, the pain krept through this one's body from its belly up to its chest making it hard to breath for this one. This one's vision started to fade and soon this one couldn't think anymore when it drew its final breath...

...The group of dwarves were still guarding the vault with tears in their eyes but battle ready. In the last hour the Service seemed to fall into a stage of rage, the ground was trembling more intensely and they could hear the beast roar in rage. Even to most courageous dwarf felt fear creeping up his back sending down a shiver. The atmosphere was really charged with worry and fear at this moment when suddenly they heard the loudest roar of them all followed by the creepiest outcome all of them could imagine, total Silence.

Nothing came out of the vault for minutes and the dwarves started to worry sending out some of them to check if the Cerbicor broke out of the vault by breaking through one of the walls. But nobody found anything, some thought that it must have been escaped the same way it entered by vanishing, maybe a god had mercy on them and brought it away. But nobody dared to check what was inside the vault, when suddenly the group of dwarves heard a strange scratching sound.

But what frightened them more that it seemed to come nearer and nearer to them as if something made its way through the metal door. Every dwarf around grabbed their weapons reinforcement was called and soon hundreds of Dwarven warriors with axes and lances were standing ready to welcome this mythical beat and defend their home from it.

But then something happened what no one of them expected, a sharp metal piece tore through the door as if it was nothing, it cut a straight line from the height of about one meter down to the ground. Then a second and a third cut were made resulting in a perfect square, the dwarves were on adrenaline they were ready to die today and only wanted to save their brothers that were working sleeping and living outside. They were ready for everything that could come out of this square except that what came out when the metal square that was cut out fell down to the floor.

Everyone of them held their breath when they finally saw Scrappy walking out of the hole up the the metal piece he cut out and started cutting it into smaller pieces to take it with him...
