7 So Many Stomachs, So Little Time

Chapter Seven So Many Stomachs, So Little Time The explorers tiptoed out of the planet graveyard and into another stomach that felt like a cave. A pit of lava bubbled in the center. The explorers all stayed to the edge and slowly moved around it. "Anyone else not feeling so good?" asked Elias. "My stomach feels kind of funny, and I'm a little light-headed." He was walking behind Finn, who was walking behind Foggy. They had almost reached the next tunnel. "I'm okay," said Finn. "It's probably just the heat. We need to get to the next stomach, and maybe you'll feel better." The air was cooler in the next stomach and a small pond in the middle made the stomach feel

less threatening, but Elias didn't feel better. He said his head hurt and his stomach ached. "Come on, Elias," said Vale. "You can't say you have a stomachache while you're in an actual stomach." "Shhh," hissed Jern. "Don't disturb the water in that pond." "Why?" whispered Abigail. "Is there something dangerous in there?" "I don't know," he said. "But we're in a giant evil alien and there's a weird pond in its fourth stomach. I'd say let's not take our chances." "Fair enough," said Abigail. The crew quietly tiptoed out of stomach number four and traveled through three more caverns, narrowly avoiding danger in each one. In the first, a strange purple algae grew and glowed on the walls. They decided not to touch it. In the next, about a dozen angry mouths rose out of the floor yelling, "Feed me! Feed me!" They decided not to feed them.

And in the one after that, a single fruit grew from a single tree. They decided, no matter how hungry they were, they wouldn't eat it. "Sheesh, I know I said the outside of Saphrite was boring," said Vale. "But I'm starting to think all her stomachs are going to be boring, too. If we can't do anything, why are we even here?" "We're here because you thought it would make us famous," said Abigail. "Oh yeah," said Vale. "I guess I was hoping our epic adventure would be a little more... epic."

To get out of the stomach with the tree, they could go left, or they could go right. "Let's split up!" said Vale. "Jern and I will take one stomach, and you guys take the other." "I'm not going with the arm sergeant guy," said Jern. "Sergeant-at-arms!" said Vale. "And why not?!" "You're trying too hard," said the beetle. "You need to chill out. Cool off. Take a rain drain." "That doesn't make any sense," said Vale. "Guys, enough," said Finn. "I think we should stick together. Let's go this way." Finn pointed to the tunnel on the right. "Fine," said Vale. "We don't have to split up, but at least let me go first."

Finn didn't listen. He was already walking into the next cavern. "Yeeeoww!" shouted Finn. "Oooohhh, is something epic happening?" yelled Vale as he ran into the cave.
