Nate Pan vs. Aldith

"I'll show that plasmafish!" Nate whispered then winked at Rosa, "Stay here, Rosa. And watch the fun."

"Fun?" whispered Rosa in confusion, not particularly liking the sound of that or the mischeivous boyishness he said it with.

"Watch this, Rosa!" Nate laughed, as he flew down at Aldith, clearly seeing all this as a game.

"Oh Nate, do be careful!" Rosa called in worry.

Nate stood on one foot to bend down on Aldith's sword and got off, causing the sword to vibrate. Nate then flew down and pulled Barret's hat over his eyes. Aldith tried to strike him down, but she missed as Nate grabbed her blaster and went to Barret, who pulled his hat off.

"Try your luck, Mr. Barret?" Nate asked, as he started flying around while Barret tried to aim at him.

"Let him have it!" Aldith called to her partner. "Well, come on, you idiot! Blast him!"

Suddenly, Nate flew up in front of Aldith. "Right here, Mr. Barret!"

Barret aimed it as Aldith gasped in horror. "HOLD IT YOU FOOL!" she screamed, flailing around in a blind panic. "NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" But Barret fired, missed Nate, and instead hit Aldith as she fell down, the sound of the blast echoing in the air.

"Aldith?" asked Barret, who panicked as he dropped the blaster.

"Oh, how dreadful!" Rosa said, sorrowfully burying her face in her arms. Even Aldith didn't deserve that!

"What a pity, Mr. Barret," Nate said, as he took Aldith's fallen hat and put it on. "I'm afraid we've lost dear Aldith." Little did he know that Aldith, who had only been grazed by the bullet and was now angry, reappeared behind him and was about to stab him with her sword!

"Aldith!" Barret cheered. Well, that spoiled it for Aldith as Nate turned to her.

"In the back, Aldith?" Nate teased, waving a finger at her.

Aldith tried to stab Nate, but he ducked, and she stabbed her hat instead. Annoyed, she put her hat back on. Nate got his own sword. Then he and Aldith clashed their blades back and forth. Distressed, Rosa covered her eyes as the two enemies fought, only to later open her fingers and peek through curiously.

"Give it to him, Aldith! Cleave him to the brisket!" Barret cheered.

But Nate made a fool of Aldith again by pulling her pants down, exposing her heart-spotted high-cut briefs. Aldith got angrier and, after pulling her pants back up, attacked Nate again, but Nate defended with his sword. Then they locked blades and held on to it.

"I've got you this time, Nate Pan!" Aldith said, as they moved back, their blades still locked.

Suddenly, Nate smirked and pointed downwards. They were floating at mid air. Nate has no worries because he can fly...but Aldith couldn't! Aldith gasped and screamed as she took a plunge, wildly clawing at the air and finally using a grappling hook to hold onto the edge of the frigate at the last minute. She now hung precariously above the water.

Nate grinned, it was time to have some fun! He put his sword back on his belt and stood on the cliff, looking down at Aldith, taunting her. "Well, well. A plasmafish on a hook!"

Aldith immediately burst into frustrated tears at this insult, feeling more humiliated than she ever had in her life. "I'll get you for this, Nate Pan!" she sobbed as she shook her fist, hot tears flowing down her cheeks, "if it's the last thing I'll do!"

"Poor Aldith!" Rosa remarked, feeling a little sorry for the villainess.

Then everyone heard some tick-tock noises. Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...

Rosa frowned and looked toward the water. "Oh my!" she gasped and threw her hands over her mouth to keep from screaming. It was-!

Nate, knowing who it was, grinned and playfully put a hand to his ear. "I say, Aldith. Do you hear something?"

"No!" Now Aldith was in fear as she recognized that tick-tock noise: the sound of the giant crocodile who craved her flesh above all others. She then looked down. "NO!" She saw the crocodile's eyes down below in the water, and then the crocodile's whole head emerged. He saw her dangling from the cliff like bait and got a big delighted smile on his face, and then leapt at her, his jaws opened up wide.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Aldith screamed, as the crocodile bit down with a great chomp and got the end of her vest in his jaws, ripping it straight from Aldith body.

The crocodile landed back in the water and ate the fabric, loudly smacking his jaws and then licking his lips happily afterward. Nate liked the sight of that! "Oh, Mr. Crocodile," he called down in a playful tone, "Do you like plasmafish?"

The crocodile nodded excitedly, wagging his tail and getting into a begging stance like a dog. "You do?" Nate asked enthusiastically, bending a leg behind him.

Rosa gasped in horror, falling back a little with a hand on her cheek. "Oh, Nate, no!" she said forcefully, in a scolding tone expressing clear disapproval.

"Aw, I'm just having a little fun!" Nate replied, waving his hand dismissively. "Besides, Aldith is the bad guy!" He then paused and cheerfully remarked "Well, girl!" and laughed.

Nate's laughter continued as Aldith, her uniform torn, tried to escape, but the crocodile jumped back up and got the seat of her pants in his mouth and he pulled them down, revealing her briefs. She pulled, squeezed and wiggled her way back into her pants, but her hook lost grip, and she fell into the water screaming, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

She landed in the the crocodile's jaws, which slammed shut as he dove back underwater. Nate laughed louder and harder than ever before, while Rosa shuddered and buried her face back in her hands.

With a loud gulp, the crocodile swallowed his prey whole. Aldith now found herself living out her worst nightmare: trapped in the dark and squishy insides of the crocodile's stomach. Tears filled her eyes as blind panic overtook her, and she scrambled to make her way back up the beast's gullet.

All was quiet for a few seconds. And then another splash occurred as the crocodile's head reemerged. Aldith was still in his mouth, hair disheveled and half of her clothing in tatters, and was holding his jaws apart with her hands. Lifting her head up, the girl screamed as hard as she could: "BARREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!"

Barret was already scrambling to his rowboat. "D-don't worry, m'am! Stay right there now!" he stammered, "I'll save you, m'am!"

Aldith managed to get a foothold in on the ends of each of the crocodile's jaws, so she was able to climb up. She stretched her long legs out to prevent the crocodile from closing his jaws on her, as he was currently trying to do. The croc's tongue curled inward toward his mouth, as if insisting Aldith come on in. Soon, the beast's strength won out and he snapped his jaws shut, but Aldith managed to stay standing. The crocodile repeated the motion, hoping to make Aldith lose her footing. '''SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!''' As she was being endlessly scizzored by the snapping jaws of the crocodile, Aldith put her hands around her mouth and called out to her partner once more. "BARREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!"

But Barret's clumsiness was delaying him, as he had a hard time getting into the boat, and then he almost began rowing while leaving the actual oars behind! Aldith's feet couldn't hold out and she lost her footing. The villainess found herself in the crocodile's mouth again. Frantically, she pressed her hands up on his top jaw as it attempted to close down on her, pushing it upward instead. As she did, Aldith attempted to step out of the reptile's maw. The crocodile couldn't help but grin at this, he admired this girl's pluck. This wasn't going to stop him though, and he slammed his top jaw down right on Aldith's foot. SNAP! Aldith yelped in pain as her foot slid right out of her boot and she shot upward into the air, clutching her bare foot in hopes of soothing the soreness. And then she fell, upside-down, right into the hungry crocodile's mouth yet again. Luckily, her stretched-out legs and feet prevented her from being swallowed.

"Awful!" Rosa moaned. "Awesome!" Nate laughed.

At this point, Barret had finally begun rowing his boat furiously to come to his colleague's aid. Aldith, still upside down and even more of her clothes torn off, attempted to push herself up and out of the croc's mouth with her arms. But the crocodile, finding this annoying, raised his tail and slapped his bottom jaw with it. The impact of this flung Aldith out and into the air, arms flailing wildly. The crocodile jumped after her, snapping his jaws at her as he did. '''SNAP! SNAP!'''  There was a splash, and then both beast and girl resurfaced right next to Barret's rowboat. Aldith's eyes widened in shock as she realized that she was now on top of the crocodile's snout. The crocodile was thus looking right at her, and he gave her a wide, devious smile. "A-Aldith!" Barret shouted as he saw his half-naked partner pass.

"BARRET! BAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!" the frightened Aldith cried as she jumped to her bare feet and ran off the crocodile's snout, across it's scaly body, and then made a jump for the boat as she came to the tail. Barret threw out his arms, hoping to catch his comrade when she landed. Then suddenly, the crocodile popped up from the water and pushed the rowboat back with his claw. He opened up his mouth and Aldith ended up landing in it. SNAP! The beast's jaws closed triumphantly. But just as he was beginning to enjoy his tasty treat, Barret lifted an oar over his head and yelled "Give her back!"

He slammed the oar downward....and just then, Aldith pryed the croc's jaws open and screamed '''"BAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!" WHAM! ''' Barret's oar hit Aldith right on the head, and the force of the blow sent both her and the crocodile down to the bottom of the ocean. Shrugging off the cranial injury, Aldith swam back up to the surface and jumped onto the boat. Seeing this, Barret immediately began rowing backward, toward a small opening that served as an exit from the cave. "Row for the ship!" Aldith shouted at her minion. "Row for the sh-!"

THUD! Aldith had been standing up in the boat, and so as it passed through the opening, she instead hit the cavern wall and fell with a splash back into the water.

"The plasmafish is back in the water, Mr. Crocodile!" Nate called out, "Go get her!"

"NATE!" Rosa shouted. She did not at all approve of him being so mean to his female nemesis and encouraging the crocodile to eat her alive!

The crocodile was delighted to see this perfect opportunity to get his meal, and he quickly began swimming toward Aldith. The villainess lifted her head up above the water. Her thick, wet hair was covering her face, so she parted it with her hands in order to see. To her horror, what she saw was the crocodile coming right at her! "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH!!!"she shrieked, and immediately swam to the opening. But just as she reached it, a wave swelled up under her and she ended up hitting the wall once again.

The crocodile made a jump for the evil girl, and ended up slamming right into her so hard that the cavern wall broke apart. Now on the other side, Aldith began swimming for her life, screaming and calling after her partner up ahead. "BAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!" The crocodile was hot on her heels, swimming and snapping his jaws hungrily.
