Escape from Hell, Eggy Edition!: Ch. 4

After Chapter 3...

Blobbi and Calais were ecstatic. They were getting prepared to go watch what the media called "the show of a lifetime". They had heard great things from about the performances of Peyton, especially those who watched her shows in person.

Calais and Blobbi were at an Inn, Calais was trying to choose what to wear, when she realized she only had one outfit. She walked out of their rooms closet and saw Blobbi with a little bowtie shape-shifted on his "neck".

"Are you ready?" Blobbi said, bobbing (not blobbing) up and down with excitement. "I sure am!"

Calais shook her head rapidly, she was just as excited as he was.

As they left, Calais pulled out a map and charted a path to the building where the show would be held. She realized that it was the same large tower that they had seen the day before at Ribeye's shop, and that only made their excitement grow more...

Eventually, they reached the tower the show was at, and saw Ribeye, taking peoples tickets and admitting entry to people. Calais and Blobbi waved, and Ribeye looked over and lightly nodded his head. They walked up to Ribeye and gave him their tickets.

"Thank you for the tickets!" Blobbi said, "We're super excited to see the show!"

"..." Ribeye looked at them with a blank expression. "You're welcome, I guess."

Calais and Blobbi walked in, and saw the beautiful interior of the building. Red carpet, Fancy wooden floors and furniture, and the suited skeletons greeting people.

"Ah, and who are these two lively and young people? I imagine our little blob friend is treating the lady to a night out, ey?" Said one of the skeletons in suits.

"It's called having a friend." Said Blobbi, unamused. "I'm not even the one who paid for the tickets, buddy."

They grabbed a truckload of concessions, chips chocolates, sodas, and sandwiches. Blobbi had roughly five times his body weight in food.

When the pair figured out they had front row seats, they nearly squealed. Nearly. They found their seats, some of the best in the house, and got ready...

All of a sudden, they heard a powerful-yet-petite voice come through the speakers.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my show..." Said the voice. "Prepare to be bedazzled, because on this night, I will show you the most grand show you have ever seen!"

A light clicked on, revealing a tall and beautiful woman in some rather revealing armor. Peyton. The star of the show.

She blew kisses to the crowd and swung her arms out, almost like she was welcoming the audience with a hug.

"Woah..." Blobbi said. "How did she manage to get away with wearing THAT?!"

Calais shrugged, before grabbing a fistful of nachos and eating them.

All of a sudden, flames erupted right in front of Blobbi and Calais's seats, and it was followed with a beautiful, shining, pink smoke. This was going to be one hell of a show...

"WOOOAAH!" Blobbi exclaimed! "Coooooolll!"

Calais eyes were wide, he was just as amazed as he was.

Peyton looked around at her audience, she chuckled to herself and put the microphone to her mouth.

"Tonight's show, will require a volunteer..." Peyton said ominously. "I choose..."

A drumroll rang out from a nearby band, ready to play at a moments notice. Calais noticed Ribeye standing near them with a bottle of mayonnaise in his hands.

"You two!" Peyton pointed her fingers at Blobbi and Calais.

Blobbi gasped and squealed with delight.

Calais was extremely surprised, but managed to get up and walk forward. Meanwhile, Blobbi practically LUNGED from his seat.

"So what are we gonna do???" Blobbi said while bobbing up and down with excitement. "I gotta know!"

"Quite simple, my little blob buddy..." Peyton said with a smirk on her face. "Tonight's performance will be..."

"A BATTLE!"

"Wait, WHA-" Blobbi was cut off by a blazing fireball that flew by his head.

Calais's eyes went wide. She didn't know what do, she had left her sword at home and-

Blobbi reached INSIDE of his chest, and pulled out Calais's sword, before handing it to her.

"You can never be too sure!" Blobbi said, proudly.

Calais looked puzzled at Blobbi, but took the sword and prepared to fight.

She dodged a fireball, when she noticed something tugging on her leg. It was a hand made of unholy energy, Calais kicked her leg back and forth, trying to shake it off, before stabbing it, causing it to release and fade away.

Calais stuck her blade at Peyton, and conjured up her energy at the tip. She cocked her arm back before thrusting the blade forward, releasing the energy in a beam of light.

The beam zipped towards Peyton, but she simply blasted it with a ray of fire from her palm.

"I'm not the average person, darling." Peyton said with a chuckle. "You're gonna have to try a little harder than THAT, to take a star like me down."

"Uh oh..." Blobbi said.

Peyton suddenly snapped her fingers, and called out.

"George!" Peyton cried out with a smirk on her face.

8hzc4j.jpg (click to show) a suited Skeleton of great height and width appeared at Peytons side.

"Good evening, sir, madam." Said George with a bow.

"Georgie here is my bodyguard," Said Peyton. "but he's become something of a co-star on my show!"

Peyton summoned an army of flame-balls around her, while George simply tried his best to get in a fighting stance. He was doing good...ish.

"Wait a minute!!" Peyton called out. "Before we continue our battle, I would like to thank our sponsor!"

"Ehh???" Blobbi said, confused.

Calais stuck her arms out, just as confused.

"Tonight's sponsor is R-" Peyton stopped herself. "Plushie Co! Especially for tonight's performance, they made special plushies of me!"

Peyton Plushies fell from the ceiling into Calais and George's hands. George displayed the Plushie for the audience.

"Psst!" Peyton whispered to Calais. "Just hold the plushie, and you'll do fine!"

Calais nodded, still confused.

"Plushie Co makes special plushies that can be shipped ANYWHERE!" Peyton said proudly. "If anybody in the audience has children, I recommend Plushie Co, for all of their huggable-needs! Order a me-plushie now and they'll throw in a free George Keychain!"

"Coool!" Blobbi said. "Maybe they'll make one of me! I'm huggable!"

Calais nodded. He was very huggable.

The plushies were suddenly grabbed by mechanical hands and YANKED back into the ceiling.

"Now on with the show!" Peyton said.

A blast of fire shot over Calais's head, she jumped up and blasted a beam at Peyton. Peyton blasted back with a wave of fire, and Calais fell into a sort of Limbo pose trying to dodge it. Meanwhile, Blobbi and George were having their own... fight?

Blobbi picked up a chess piece, a rook, and moved it across the board, taking out George's Knight.

"Hah!" Blobbi said!

"Interesting move." George said. "However I must inform you that it was not a great one."

George picked up his queen and took out Blobbis queen.

"Checkmate." He said.

"Nooooo!" Blobbi said. "Again?"

"If you insist, good sir." Said George.

Peyton and Calais had been duking it out for nearly an hour now, with plenty of antics along the way. Chaos, explosions, lots of chess matches, and even a 5 minute recess where Calais ate a donut.

Peyton was extremely exhausted, she had beads of sweat rolling down her face, and was panting. Calais knew that she was almost defeated, and if she could exhaust her just a little bit more...

"Enough!" Peyton exclaimed. "It's time to end this show!"

A giant fireball appeared above Peyton, she supercharged it with unholy energy, turning it purple. She stuck her hand high in the air, and...

The ball hurtled towards Calais. There was nothing she could do to stop it. This was how she would die, for the sake of some dead peoples entertainment.

Suddenly-

It stopped. The ball was gone, and everything was in darkness. Was she... dead? No, she was in hell, she couldn't have died twice...

"That's all for tonight's show!"

The show was over. She hadn't died for the second time. She just wasn't hit by the fireball.

"Tune in next month, for the exciting continuation!" Peyton exclaimed, microphone in hand, and no longer looking exhausted. "Thank you all for coming! Aaaaand Goodnight!"

George and Peyton bowed, and the lights clicked off.

When the lights clicked back on, they were in a backstage area. No, not backstage... Under the stage.

Calais still felt wobbly after almost dying. Blobbi leaped onto to her and wrapped around her in a sort of hug. Suddenly, Peyton appeared in front of Calais.

"Thank you so much for that!" Peyton said with a smile on her face. "I haven't had a show that fun in a while!"

Calais took a step back and raised her sword.

"Oh!" Peyton said with a look of surprise. "I really need to apologize... for, trying to kill you, and all."

Calais lowered her blade, confused.

"I... have a confession to make..."

"You've seen the ads around the city. You know how I I'm a supermodel, a beauty, a star. But... in my recent years... I have been failing."

"I have not been making nearly as much as I used to. I often lose money on shows, nowadays. There's never more than 200 people who tune into my show, out of the tens of thousands of them in this city. I know, that soon, I'll fizzle out."

"I don't want to be forgotten. When I saw you in the audience, I thought... I thought that if I could have a show where I fight with YOU... it would solidify my role as a star in history."

"Why HER?" Blobbi said, perplexed. "No offense to you, Calais, but she isn't all THAT special."

Calais nodded, even if it sounded rude, he was right.

"Really? Even with the wanted posters? The ones that have been around longer than anyone can remember?" Peyton said.

Blobbi and Calais gawked.

"The king had them put up a long time ago..." Peyton said. "Allow me to repay you for what I've done here..."

Peyton took Calais and Blobbi out onto a large balcony.

"I'll get you two a limousine out of here." Peyton said. "A nice one, with heating and snacks, and everything you want, alright?"

"Aw that's really sweet of you, we had a lot of fun though, right?" Blobbi said.

Calais nodded, even if she almost died, it was pleasant.

"Wait!" Peyton called "before you go, I just wanted to say thank y-" Peyton was cut off.

The same blue slice of light from before appeared right before Calais.

Suddenly...

Calais and Blobbi were falling from the top of the tower.
