Before him the door revealed not a room, but a tropical paradise. It was unexplainable to him, but somehow in front of him was a beautiful beach and an inviting jungle. He could hear the sounds of the ocean beating against the shore, and smell the familiar smells of a beach. It wasn't a painting, that was for sure. Amazed and intrigued, he took his option of freedom but this dreary place and stepped through the door. However, he didn't go forward like he expected. He went down. Straight down. Paying so much attention to the wonder and mystery of the place, he hadn't noticed that the view he had of the beach was an overlooking one, the door was maybe a dozen feet above ground level.
Cody's face hit the sand with a slam. Had his ears not been half-full with sand, he would've heard the curses of his companion in the doorway. Cody lifted his head up to look around, and Dyo landed next to him with his legs bent, sturdily on his feet without the slightest appearance of being someone who just jumped a dozen feet.
"We shouldn't have come here." Dyo said, surveying the area.
"I can go where want! I'm not the one following anyone around here." Cody said defiantly, he felt his rights were infringed upon. Dyo didn't respond. He grabbed Cody by the arm and lifted him straight up, bored of watching him slowly lifting himself to his feet. Not sure whether to feel helped out or treated like a rag doll, Cody didn't say anything and ran to the trail he saw starting in the jungle. At first, Dyo reached out to grab him, but just ran after him instead.
The sight that met Cody's eyes was greater then anything he could've possibly hoped for. Instead of an amusement park or a tribal village where he was King, he was met with a female figure, blond, blue-eyed, and drop-dead beautiful. That wasn't the first thing Cody noticed however, his eyes were too busy with her clothes- she was naked but for a nearly unnoticeable thong.
She bent down to look at him and said "Hello!" with a giggle. She rubbed his chin like some cute stuffed animal, and then walked off without another word.
Drool was visible from his mouth, and his eyes followed her form but for far less time then he thought they would- he was suddenly distracted by another woman, and another.. all lacking apparel.
Truly, he was in heaven.
He ran towards the nearest to him, and tried to introduce himself rather forcefully.
"Hello there, I'm-Cody-nice-to-meet-you-your-so-hot." He blurted out too quickly to pause. She seemed to ignore him, and he tugged on her arm for her attention. She turned towards him, her rosy breasts swaying with her movement, but she looked at him with what might be disgust.
"Ooooh!" He nearly shouted uncontrollably, and beside himself with lust and adrenaline he reached out and took a handful of her breasts.
Shocked and appalled, she slapped him upside his head, pulling away from him.
Cody reeled, nearly hitting the ground.
"Jerk." The red-head he had grabbed spat, and pushed her small, sexual red glasses higher on the bridge of her nose.
Cody whipped back towards her, and looked around, caught off-balance, not sure what to say, do, or think. Dyo chuckled.
"Hey, you!" Cody pointed accusingly at Dyo. "Aren't you supposed to be protecting me or something? She attacked me and you didn't do anything!"
"You were asking for it." Dyo replied, shaking his head. "C'mon, we need to figure out where we are."
"Who cares! This place is great, I'm gonna find someone else to talk too, I bet she was just mean or something..." His voice trailed off as he scanned the dozens of women walking through the area.
As Cody gawked at the women, Dyo scanned the area. He saw huts strewn through the place seemingly randomly, straw roofs and rugs for doorways. He narrowed his eyes. There was definitely something wrong with the place. Women, tall and short, with every color hair and eyes walked past from every direction. However, not everything varied- every single one was beautiful in their own way, none could argue even one was unattractive. It almost looked like some kind of adult film studio, some wore bits of leather on their wrists or other areas that wouldn't actually cover anything, some of them wore chains or even bows in their hair. It seemed like if there was any accessory that could be considered sexual, one of the girls there had it. Even more disturbing, none of them seemed to be doing anything. It was clear they were walking from one side of their village to the other, visiting different huts and talking with other girls, but none of them were carrying anything, none of them seemed to have anything on their mind, none of them were going faster then a relaxing walk.
'Paradise, or Hell?' Dyo wondered.
Cody however was oblivious to all of this. Voluptuous bodies and endless skin was all his mind was centered on. He ran from woman to woman, saying hello and trying to hit on them, but running to the next barely before they could respond, his attention distracted from yet another somehow 'more' beautiful woman.
Nearby Cody, Dyo saw a strange figure, someone wearing clothes besides Cody. He seemed to be wearing..purple, but Dyo still got the impression it was a male figure. It seemed to slink up nearby Cody, and Dyo ran to block him off. He certainly wasn't going to fail now by some second-rate assassin.
Cody was unaware of the man coming erratically closer to him, his path seemingly random, but closer was definitely the direction he was going.
Dyo ran faster, he was sure it was a problem.
Cody turned to see Dyo slide in front of him, blocking his view from a rather pathetic looking man wearing what appeared to be some kind of ninja outfit. Cody peeked around to see the shocked look on the man's face as he nearly had to look up at the overbearing form of Dyo, his stance making him seem twice as large as normal.
"Who are you?" Dyo asked forcefully.
The man nearly screeched in shock, still surprised by his sudden appearance. However, the man realized how terribly unimposing he looked, and he tried to regain his posture and his ego.
"Who am I?!" The man stressed I. "I could ask the same of you!"
Cody wasn't sure whether to laugh or be frightened by the way he looked. He was wearing a wrapped samurai ponytail, and a creepy net shirt under his large purple martial arts outfit. Cody wasn't sure but he though he saw a hilt of a sword creeping up from behind him, probably attached to his back.
"I am the messenger of death! The Great Ninja Murasaki! Part of the most illustrious band of super-warriors ALIVE!" He shouted out with great pride. However he then mumbled something about 'normally' being the messenger of death, Cody wasn't paying that close attention, he had noticed an enticing green-haired lady walk by.
"Death's messenger, huh? Then I'll send you back to your boss." Dyo said, turning sideways into his fighting stance.
"Er, uh no! Wait!" He pulled back. "I'm not here to fight you or anything!"
Cody shoved Dyo out of the way, taking position directly in front of Murasaki. "Well what are you here for?" he asked him.
Dyo wasn't too happy about being pushed out of the way, but didn't think the ninja was much of a threat, so stood back and watched.
"I told you, I'm here with the most powerful warriors in the galaxy. We're here for-er uh... Why were here certainly isn't any of your business! The question is, why are you here!?" Murasaki pridefully boasted.
"There's other people here too?" Cody asked, apparently ignoring the girls as people.
"Yes, I-.." He thought for but a moment and said, "I better take you to meet her."
"Her?" Cody's ears perked up.
