Ink City/Recap/S1 Into the Woods: Difference between revisions

Despite Eleanor's misgivings -- none of the others seem emotionally prepared to cope with Heloise's death -- they press forward, Audrey still crooning and leering behind them. Soon, just as he said, they reach the wall, and Yakko runs ahead, touching it.

 

 

With that, a pulsating ink blot appears behind the group. Introducing himself as the Mayor, he claims to be the one responsible for their being trapped in Ink City. And while he's been entertained by how poorly their trip's gone thus far, he's none too pleased with Yakko poking the [[Fourth Wall]]. So when Yakko does it ''again'', he causes their surroundings to ''shift'', growing FAR more foreboding... to say nothing of the swirling black abyss that yawns open beneath their feet.

Though Audrey II starts helping out, the numbers are simply too vast, and one by one the survivors start falling. When Veser falters, Audrey throws him right into the midst of a swarm... and Eleanor takes a gut shot while momentarily distracted. In the midst of all this, Yakko doesn't break. He ''[[Beware the Silly Ones|snaps]]''. Hely's hammer in hand, seventy years' worth of mallet gags take on deadly new meaning, while Megavolt stands above the fallen Eleanor.

 

 

When the fighting grinds to a halt, the two of them are the only ones still standing. Beaten, bruised, and bleeding ink, but alive. Though as it sinks in just what he's done, Yakko can't help wondering if it was even worth it. Megavolt's attempts to console him don't help much, either: as he points out, they have to be prepared for more things like this to happen in the future, as they'll surely have to deal with the Mayor again...

* [[The Dog Bites Back]]

* [[Dwindling Party]]

* [[Symbol Swearing]]: Benson starts doing this after Mordecai finishes what he started.

* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]:

* [[Thirteen Is Unlucky]]: Heloise had thirteen volunteers for the party. Not everyone showed up to make the trip, however... and those were arguably the lucky ones.

* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: [[Zig-Zagging Trope|Zig-Zagged]]: Mordecai throws his machete and hits Audrey right in the stalk, but the plant isn't phased and tugs it out with one vine. However, this gives ''Megavolt'' a shiny metal conductor to work with...
