The car shuddered when it smashed through, but kept moving, leaving smashed infected and broken barriers. There was another one ahead.
"I thought it'd be harder to get through to the Welcome to the Community forum." said Indy.
"It is. Its completely blocked off. I think we can smash through into city, and make our way from there though. I got there and had to turn back, and saw a large number of inected heading to the LU stories forum, figured that's where I should go." said Skul.
They smashed through another barrier, and the front of the car was dented.
"As you can see, it isn't easy." said Skul.
JackieTimmins was glancing around nervously in the back.
"There is a 91.5% chance we will not make it to the city forum." said JackieTimmins nervously.
Skul sighed, and glanced at him in the right mirror. The mirror, however was broken, and so he had to turn around to look back at him.
"You forgot that I am driving." said Skul.
"I think that's why our failing chance is so high." said Starwarsgirl.
JackieTimmins thought for a second.
"Chance with Skul driving....there is a 97.7 chance we will not make it to the city forum." said JackieTimmins.
Starwarsgirl and Indy laughed, and Starwarsgirl tried to fistbump JackieTimmins as they slammed through another barrier.
They crashed straight through the barrier and the car flipped.
The car was crushing down on them. It had bent in. Indy could barely see. He could just see legs. Legs outside. Some bending down. And lots of scratching and smashing and ripping at the underside of the car. The infected were coming.
"That didn't go as I thought it would." said Skul.
"Skul! I think Jackies hurt!" said Starwarsgirl.
"Now, everyone, keep perfectly calm, please reach for the spam blasters on your waist." said Skul, the pleasant voice of an airline attendant, with a slightly mocking tone.
There was the sound of a blaster being powered up.
There was a crash, and the bottom of the car was torn open. They were all still upside down, though Indy had got his seatbelt off and was lying with his face pushed against the glass, seeing infected feet kicking at it. But JackieTimmins seat was lifted staight out of the car and he disapeared with a scream.
"He knew the cure!" screamed Starwarsgirl, who know had more important things on her mind, as she began blasting up out the bottom of the car at the infected who were beginning to come in.
There was a crash and the car flipped again. And again. It was rolling up the MBs, towards the Ninjago and Chim, City, LoTR forums. It rolled. And there were splintrting and breaking noises. And it rolled more. It kept rolling uphill, greatly slowed, and then came to a rest on its side.
"Awkward.' said Skul, looking down at Indy from above, held in place by his seatbelt. Starwarsgirl was straining towards the bottom of the car, and Indy followed suite. He kicked, and the car fell until it was back up staight. Indy stuggled back into his seat, and then looked around. Starwarsgirl was sitting, staring down at the hole in the bottom of the car, looking slightly sick. Skul was staring straight down the path now, shocked, looking at the next infected roadblock, which was far in the distance. Neither seemed inclined to talk now.
Sighing, Indy got out to survey the damage.
The car was smashed. He would be suprised if it even worked. The hood was almost completely crushed in, the roof was buckled in, the bottom was, as he had been able to tell from inside, in pieces. All windows were splinted, one even shattered. The windshield wipers had fallen off. It was covered in dirt and to Indy's disgust, spam. Skul was still staring at the next roadblock, where infected seemed not to have noticed them,
Indy suddenly remembered that they had been resting still, and had been hit by something. He ran past the car, and looked fifty meters down the path. How had they rolled so far uphill?
They had been hit by the other car, and it had pushed them half the way, from what he could see. It was now completely shattered. Pacman was running up at him, looking shocked. The entire front of their car had been smashed in. MJ was pulling at the door as the enraged infected approached the car.
Indy realized the back doors were jammed shut.
He began running down the hill, shouting, pointing at the incoming infected. Pacman looked back, sighed, and ran back down the hill, still looking shocked from the crash. He ran behind the car, and swung the ban hammer at the infected, who formed a semicircle around the wreckage, with the car at its center.
Pacman was trying to drive them away, but they were too fast and strong. He kept fighting, but they didn't hav e much time till the infected got through and destroyed the car, and them.
Indy and MJ were both pulling on Zapty's door, with Zapty and Tigger hitting against it feebly. They kept pulling, then Indy had an idea.
"Gimme a sec..." he said, and jumped onto the roof. He pulled out the remains of Magnas ban hammer, and began slamming it into the roof, denting it more.
"Are you crazy?" yelled MJ.
Indy kept smashing till the roof split open, and he reached in and in one move pulled Zapty out.
"Run!" he said, as he tried to get at Tigger, who was farther away. Pacman was still defending, but they had almost circled him completely, almost reaching the back of the car, which was the final part of their loop enclosing pacman.
"Run, Pacman! MJ!" screamed Indy, as Zapty ran up the path were Skul and Starwarsgirl were now waiting, followed by MJ.
But the infected moved faster than Pacman could.
In one swift move, one jumped up from beneath him, and smashed the ban hammer in his hand. The remains dropped feebly. Pacman screamed, and ran, jumping onto the back of the car, where Tig
Indy lead the others down, off the hood of the car, just being missed by the hands of the infected. They began running up the hill, where they saw Skul, Starwarsgirl and Zapty trying to scale a wall up to another forum. Starwarsgirl shot her grapping hook up, grabbed both of them, and shot up.
The others were almost there, but so were the infected. Starwarsgirl had left them at the edge of wahetevr forum it was, and were lowering back down. But not fast enough.
"Indy, gimme Magna's hammer!" yelled Tigger.
"Why?" said Indy.
"I'll hold them off!" said Tigger, as they reached the cliff. Starwarsgirl was almost within reach, lowering herslef down.
"No!" said Indy.
Tigger punched Indy, grabbed the hammer, as Indy covered his face, but reached out to hold him back, But Tigger thrust himself into the infected, and they all turned on him as he ran through them, swining and batting them with the hammer, as they all tried to grab him, and they did. But he kept fighting even as his face turned dark, and his eyes faded to darkness, and he became more and more like any of the infected in the crow,d
"Tigger!" screamed Indy, reaching out. But somebody else grabbed him, and soon, he, Pacman, MJ, and Starwarsgirl were moving up the cliff again.
Indy was now sitting, staring down the ledge sadly as the infected attempted to climb the cliff, and roared at them. Starwarsgirl had been blasting at them, but nothing had happened, so she just went and lay down on the ground, sighing.
Pacman and Zapty were both asleep, expecting the others to guard them, which they were.
MJ and Skul were talking quietly, a few meters away from the others. They kept glancing back at IndyAJD, and although it could be passed of as checking what was going on, Indy knew it wasn't.
His suspicions were confirmed when Skul walked over. Skul knew that Indy knew what he was going to ask, so he sat down next to him.
"What is the cure for the infection?" asked Skul.
"You don't want to know." said Indy.
"There isn't one?" said MJ, nervously.
"Thats not it. Its the fact that if I told anyone then they'd try and attack Skul." said Indy sadly.
"Why?" asked Pacman, standing up and walking over.
"I thought you were asleep." said Skul, turning to look at him.
"Yeah, well, I was, then I heard you saying that if we knew the cure we'd attack Skul. So why would we attack Skul?" asked Pacman.
"Because the cure for spam is-" he was cut off as an infected ran straight from out under a bush and grabbed the sleeping Zapty.
"Where did that come from?" yelled Skul, as Zapty, who was still slumped, slowly turned darker and darker.
Starwarsgirl had jumped up, and was pointing her blaster widly everywhere, More infected came and with every second more swarmed them. Skul, Indy, Pacman, Starwarsgirl, and MJ were backing up now, as more appeared. Their only weapon now was Starwarsgirl's Ban Gun, and that was barely enough.
They were now balancing on the edge, the infected, now slow, closing in for the defeat. They knew there was no escape.
There was a yell, and Skul turned to see MJ falling backwards. He looked down and saw an infected, lowering a bow. A spam arrow was stuck in MJs back, and it disapeared into him and he darkened.
Starwarsgirls blaster ran out of ammo. She reached in her pocket, sighed, and threw the blaster down. They were meters away down, stalking closer and closer, enjoying the capture.
Then a light appeared above their heads, and a user dropped out. No one could see who the person was before the person threw themselves forward, grabbing Pacman, Skul, Indy, and Starwarsgirl, and falling, towards the spam infected users below, and then another white light, and then....
Nothing.

Indy awoke to the sound of music. He thought it wasn't there for a second, but then he sat straight, for he had been slumped.
He was in the middle of the city roleplay, and there were a band playing in front of him. He made out the figures of IndianaBonesSulfrix, TannerJ, and Gracelw. Raiders of the Lost Band.
He looked around again. He was on a bench. Beside him, Starwarsgirl was stirring, pulling her head of Indys shoulder where she had fell. Pacman was standing up, watching the band, lookiung furious and frustrated. Indy could hear the sound of Skul yelling. Pacman was galring in the direction of the yelling.
"Whats going on?" said Indy, but it came out slurred and mumbly. He said it again more clearlym and Pacman turned to him.
"Ah. You're awake. We're in the city roleplay forum. Skuls arguing with a final guard member." said Pacman.
"Why?" asked Indy, standing up, and he heard Starwarsgirl slumping over again.
"Yeah. It was Keplers who grabbed us. He had been alerted that there had been a large concentration of spam infected users there, and he found us just in time. Skuls arguing with LEGO.minifig now. They're about to break into the Welcome to the Community forum." said Pacman.
"Why? I thought that was their base?"
"Yeah, but it got surrounded while half the members were out. Dwarfy, Superseaturtle, Skul's Bro, a bunch of others are all in there. They need to get in to find weapons, and regroup." said Pacman.
"They're not letting us fight. From what we've heard yelling from Keplers, Skuls the best swordsman on the MBs for fighting, and Starwarsgirl is the best shot. Now Skul's arguing that we're obviously tougher than them, we made it this far alone." said Pacman.
Indy glanced at Skuls furious face, and LEGO.minifig yelling back. She then waved her hand, and two users came forward and grabbed Skul. He was still yelling, but they dragged him back.
"Hey!" said Pacman, running forward. Indy ran after him. Starwarsgirl, still drowsy, simply slumped off the bench and onto the floor. TannerJ and the others had stopped playing.
"Take him away. Lock him up." said LEGO.minifig.
The two guard turned and saw Indy standing, blocking one exit. Pacman was standing on the other side of the alley, facing LEGO.minfigs back, and she turned and saw him.
"Mutiny?" she said.
"Your capturing our friend." said Pacman.
"He wanted to fight."
"And why can't he?"
"Your all still effected by the forum jump. Jumpy. Or drowsy." said LEGO.minifig.
At this point, one of the guards pulled out a spam blaster. The other jabbed Skul with something, and he collapsed, and pulled out his.
"We can do this the easy way, or the hard way." said the guard.
"Ill have it sunnyside up." said Pacman.
Indy tilted his head so he could see around the guards.
"Is that all you can think of?" he asked, shaking his head.
"Sorry." said Pacman.
And the guards brought up their blasters and fired, one aiming at each of them. Indy dived, knocking into one guard, bringing him down. The guard shoved Indy away, but Indy dived back,a nd twisted the gun out of his hand.
Pacman grabbed the other, distracted by a user who was supposed to be weak taking down a gaurd and stealing his blasters, and pulled the gun away from him, and blasted him. He collapsed, stunned. Indy was holding the other blaster up, aimed at LEGO.minifig.
"You can fight, then." said LEGO.Minifig, and she turned nad walked away.
"Right. So half the the last non infected users are here." said LEGO.mInifig, up on the stage now.
She was looking down at the crowd. Skul, Indy, and Pacman were sitting on a bench a little way away from the large group. Skul still looked dizzy.
"Figured out what hes been jabbed with, yet?" asked Pacman.
"Nope." said Indy, looking at Skul worriedly.
"Ah well. He has to come. Im not leaving him here." said Pacman.
Across the room, Starwarsgirl was glaring at Skul. He had said that Starwarsgirl probably shouldn't come, as she was still being affected by the forum-jump. And no one knew why. Except Starwarsgirl.
Sighing, she glanced at her foot, which was blackened and infected. She was wearing spam-resistant gear from the foot up, and it prevented the infection from spreading. At least, it stopped it from spreading fast.
But she didn't have much longer to live.
***
The troops moved out a few hours later, in large trucks, going up the path to the walls to the forum, which were surrounded by the infected.
"So, d'you think this is going to work?" asked Starwarsgirl, who was sitting in the back of one truck with Skul, Indy and Pacman, along with one of LEGO.Minifigs guards.
"You are not permitted to speak." said the guard, who Skul recognized as JosephRuflin.
"We're not prisoners."
'Actually, thats exactly what you are.' said the guard, "Mini doesn't want you fighting. So yours to stay in the truck with me.
"Ah, this isn't good, is it..." said Indy, "You see, we are going to fight."
Ruflin laughed, and raised his blaster, aimed at Indy.
"This is on ban, not stun." he said quietly.
Indy nodded.
"Well then, if you are going to resist, I will cause you trouble. Using this." said Ruflin, grinning maliciously.
"Whats wrong with all of you?" asked Skul.
Then Pacman gasped, and pointed at the guard, then at the ground, then at the guard again. On his foot, stuck in the back of it, was a bug. The guard saw it, but acted like he hadn't noticed it.
The guard reacted fast, though, and kicked Skul back, and he rolled to the edge of the back of the open truck. His legs fell off and began trailing behind, but Skul managed to pull himself up.
Indy swung the guard around, and shoved him over the barrier at the edge of the truck, The guard fell, but he managed to grab the edge, and grab Indy's hand, trying to pull him over. Starwarsgirl shoved the guard down again, and he fell, and disapeared as they continued down the path.
"That was easy." said Skul happily. sitting back up. But then he heard a blast, and saw Pacman.
Indy roared in rage, and turned and saw Ruflin grinning, holding his ban blaster, as Pacman, his face frozen in shock, toppled back, off the truck, and then turned to dust, which sped away in the air.
"NO!" roared Skul.
Starwarsgirl ws staring with rage at Ruflin, who was disapearing down the track, as they were the last van. Starwarsgirl pulled out her ban blaster, now re-filled with ammo she had stolen, aimed, and fired.
Skul and Indy both walked over to the front of the back of the truck. They both leaned round either side, and both saw different angles of the one guard who was driving. Although they didn't notice it, the guard saw them, unbalanced, looking round the edge.
"Adios." he said, and the truck suddenly turned at a crazy angle, and Skul was thrown into the truck and Indy lifted into the air by the shock. The driver then drove straight down, off the path, into the city Forest Police area, still shaking and twisting like crazy, sending Indy then Skul flying around in different directions. Skul hit a tree, and was sent flying away, but Starwarsgirl grabbed his foot, and accidently slammed him down into the truck.
"Was trying to pull you down." said Starwarsgirl apologetically, as the truck lurched and they were both sent flying off the back.
Indy was still on the truck, although fighting was getting harder.
The guard was repeatedly stopping now, and Indy was being batted around constantly. He managed to get a grip on the door handle of the front, and was thrown off again.
He was sent flying onto the windshield, and he saw the users face. He couldn't recognize them, however. But the user had fear in their eyes. Why would he be afraid? He was the one in control. He was the one-
An infected arrow shot past Indy's shoulder, and passed through the glass, making a clean hole in it, and into the users should. Indy spun, and saw the infected user. Tiggerjake.
"Tigger...why did it have to be you?" he asked, as Tigger lunged at him.
Indy jumped, and kicked at him. The truck was slwoing down, and the infected would no longer have to be careful soon. He heard a blast and turned and saw Starwarsgirl and Skul running along, Skul limping slightly.
"Wheres the driv-" said Skul, and saw the infected driver coming out, "Ah."
Indy jumped off the back, glancing at the pile of oozy spam that was now Tiggerjake.
Starwarsgirl raised her blaster at the driver, and fired. Nothing happened.
"Its out of ammo.' said Starwarsgirl.
"Thats bad." said Skul.
"Its certainly not good." said Starwarsgirl, who then turned and ran.
Indy and Skul followed her, Skul keeping up, but in obvious pain. He had twisted his ankle when he had been thrown off the truck.
"I can...see...the...path..." said Skul, still limping.
"Yup. I think I can see trucks,...and troops.......and hopefully these ones won't have bugs..." said Indy.
"Bugs...I hate those things...mess everything up..." said Skul.
Starwarsgirl reached the edge of the path, and glanced back. Skul looked over his shoulder too, and saw the infected driver running forward.
Then there was a shout and two users tackled Starwarsgirl, and she fell onto Skul, who fell onto Indy. They rolled down the hill, towards the infected driver.
Two other users ran down from the forest, an arrow missing them. Skul recognized them as JesusChristFollower, and JayZX. Both their clothes were torn, and JCF had a slash down her face.
"They've been cut!" yelled Skul, jumping back.
"By the bugged, not the infected." said JCF.
"Oh." said Skul, "Good."
JayZX sighed, and looked at TannerJ.
"Should we suit up? Are we going in?"
"Uh..yeah." said TannerJ.
JayZX nodded, and closed her eyes. She glowed red for a second, and suddenly she was covered in Samuri Gear. JCF did the same, and a suit of armor was instantly on her.
"Right. Do they know how to suit up?" asked JCF.
"No." said Starwarsgirl, Skul, and Indy.
"Well, close your eyes, and focus on your rank."
Starwarsgirl closed her eyes, and made strange noises. Skul burst out laughing, and she glared.
"YOU try it!" she yelled.
Skul grinned, and closed his eyes. He began glowing green, and instantly he was wearing forestmans gear, and holding a bow. He looked down and realized his gear was black.
"Why is my gear black?" asked Skul.
'Oh, it happens. Man, last two users with black forms got eaten by a-"
"I DON'T WANT TO KNOW."
"Its really funn-"
"I DON'T CARE.'
Indy closed his eyes, and he was wearin a kilt.
"Ugh."
And after a few more attemps, Starwarsgirl was ready in Samuri Warrior gear.
*Chapter Numbering May be Messed Up* <- (Skulls words)
Chapter 26:
Starwarsgirl screamed and everyone turned.
She realized why the gear had been so hard to put on. It was her subconcious, resisting replacing her spam resistant gea with fighting gear. Because part of her remember her foot.
She fell to the ground, shaking. The infection spread through her, and her thoughts became dull. She couldn't see anyone, yet there were people everywhere. She was shaking. It hurt.
She heard someone in the darkness, speaking. Saying her name. Whispering but yelling. She was no longer Starwarsgirl-
There was another cry of pain and Starwarsgirl woke back up. Skul was on the ground, shaking now. Had he been infected? No..but why hadn't she been infected?
JCF, JayZX, TannerJ and Keplers were staring at her in disbelief. She sat up. She felt weak. So weak.
"Whats-what happened?" she asked. They were still staring.
"You were infected.....and Indy said something to Skul...and Skul...." they said, glancing at Skul.
"Indy knew the cure for the disease-he told Skul!" said Starwarsgirl.
"He gave you some likes. Some of his likes. We can't create likes anymore. And that must hurt....you not supposed to give away your own likes." said Indy, walking over.
"Likes are the cure?" said Keplers.
"And you can remove likes by force. Which is why anyone would attack Skul for the cure. He has the most. Dwarfies disapeared, Dude,Brickgirl, MJ, Pacman, Legocityman are all gone. Dwarfies stuck in there. Skuls the only free user with that many likes." said Indy.
Skul was getting up now, but shakily. He shuffled over.
"So how do we get in?" asked Skul.
The others stared at Skul, suprised at his determination to get in.
"Thats easy. We forum jump." said Keplers.
"We'll be infected."
"Not if we're above the infected." said Keplers, looking up. And the others too, looked at the trees. The nearest to them was insanely high.
