<SNIP>
Oh my Gods! Jacky! They’re coming for us! They’re COMING!" He clapped a hand to his own mouth. "They’re going to get us!” He sobbed. “I hate clowns!”
“What!?” Alex’s unexpected reaction temporarily snapped Jacky out of his hypnotized horror. “JACKY!” The petrified man persisted. “Do something! Save me!!!” Alex pulled the younger man in front of him, and attempted to fold himself into as small a form as possible in order to hide behind the lad.
“Uhm, what’s going on, Alex dude?” Jaxx stepped forward and inhaled sharply as he saw the clowns. “Eve babe, get back, babe” he instructed, firmly.
“Nah” she said, having already spotted them “If it comes to it, I’m fighting right along with you.”
A terrified-at-being-used-as-a-shield Jacky wriggled out of an equally terrified Alex’s grasp. Suddenly shield less, Solvay stood back up.
“I think,” he announced to the others “the best thing we can do now…” They looked at him, expectantly. “… is RUN!” He yelped. And with that, forgetting his rucksack, he sprinted out of the door and towards another nearby attraction.
Which, just so happened, to be the Fun House…

Jacky watched in shock as Alex ran off on a fit as he asked, “Where the smeg is he going?” Jaxx shrugged as he and replied, “Well when ya gotta ya gotta go, bro.” Jacky winced at the thought of Alex having a bowel movement, but quickly remembered about the approaching clowns. Jaxx pulled out his holo whips and looked around real quick as he said, “Not cool, Eve babe. The only way out is to follow Alex dude.” Evelina nodded as she said, “Yeah it looks bad. Hey Jacky on your feet and run to the fun house." Jacky nodded as he made a run for it. Jaxx and Evelina followed him till they got to the entrance.

Jaxx said, “ Eve babe stay here with Goggle dude and pick off as many as you can. I’m like gonna see what I can do to thin out ‘em out.” Evelina protested, “Jaxx I said we fight together.” Jaxx smiled and said, “We are Eve babe I am totally trusting you to cover my back.” Evelina hesitantly nodded and agreed as Jaxx adjusted his holowhips to the highest pain setting before looking at Evelina and saying, “No matter what happens Eve babe, you’re the best.” Jacky and Evelina nervously watched as Jaxx ran off to engage the evil looking clowns.

Just as Jaxx approached the clowns he cracked his neck to the side and took a deep breath and exhaled. Then Jaxx muttered, “Franky give me strength and courage to face this.” Then as the clowns approached Jaxx he ignited his holowhips and prepared to attack, but was interrupted as Evelina shot one of the clowns in the chest. The clowns stopped and looked at the fatally wounded clown slowly look at his wound and then fall to the ground. After an awkward moment of silence the clowns became angry and attacked Jaxx.

Jaxx began using his Calimar training to good use as he flung the holowhips like they were extensions of his arms. The clowns lost their balance as they were reeling from the pain from the holowhips. Now and then Evelina was able to pick off a few clowns from a distance. The fight was impressive but pointless as Jaxx said to Evelina over his headset, “Is it me Eve babe or are there more of them coming?” Evelina responded on her headset, “Jaxx you need to get out of there your gonna get overwhelmed.” Jaxx continued his attack as he slowly began to back up. Fatigue was beginning to set in as he could feel his strength beginning to waiver. What started out as thirty clowns as now turned into close to a hundred or more. No matter how many clowns fell more kept coming and Jaxx was running out of steam. Evelina yelled into her headset, “JAXX! Fall back your gonna be surrounded!” Jaxx didn’t reply as the clowns overwhelmed him.

Jaxx resorted to hand-to-hand combat but was reaching his limit. Evelina began shooting at the clowns in anger hoping to free Jaxx. Jaxx’s armor was still holing up against the bludgeon weapons of the clowns as he was digging deep to fight for his life. Just as things were looking grim for Jaxx, Zod lept from behind and began attacking the clowns holding onto Jaxx.

The clowns stopped when they saw Zod growling at them and holding a protective stance over Jaxx. Then the clowns backed away and dropped to their knees and began bowing to Zod. Jaxx managed to regain his breath and petted Zod for his help. Jaxx muttered, “Good boy.” Zod began licking Jaxx’s helmet and playing with him as the clowns continued to bow. Then Jaxx stood up and yelled, “Kneel before Zod!” The clowns continued to praise Zod. Jaxx giggled as Jaxx said to Zod, “Tell them to go home boy.” Zod then began barking at the clowns who quickly crawled away into the shadows. Evelina took a deep breath of relief as Jacky said, “Well you don’t see that everyday.”

Jaxx and Zod walked over to the Funhouse where a very relieved Evelina greeted Jaxx and Zod. Evelina used her headset to say, “Jaxx you have to stop making me worry like that.” Jaxx nodded and said, “Sorry Eve babe. Jacky felt uncomfortable watching the two GELFs hug so he interrupted, “Uhh maybe we should get out of here.” Evelina said, “Sure after we get Alex and Dr. Black.” Jacky protested as he said, “Well you can go look I’m heading back to the portal.” Jaxx giggled as he said, “Ok Goggle dude, good luck with the clown dudes.” Jacky sighed and followed Evelina and Jaxx into the Funhouse.
