This is the story of Sid, who woke up one day to find that he had become a large head. Part 6


Sid opened his eyes to find a sword being thrust upwards by pair of eyes that would bring the bravest man to tears. He blinked away his shock. What had happened where was he now? Now standing over him was a boy a real boy in this extremly odd world. The sword in the boy's hand was shaking along with the boy's mussels as he readied them for the strike.

Sid was in the flying castle but it was now a ruin and on the ground. He could hear screamings and clangins which seemed to becoming less frequent and slowly stopped all together.

Suddenly the eyes changed from anger to confusion. The boy's whole face changed but the sword remained poised and ready. The boy seemed as lost as Sid was at this moment. He looked down with the sword still held up.

"No it's some kind of trap, I iknow it," the boy thought aloud. He then looked up again. He smiled as if not falling for a joke. "Are you still Lord Diss the Dark?" The boy asked with a voice that matched the grin.

Sid just stayed there not knowing what to do. "Erm... My name is Sidney. Erm.. Sid," He said decidingto play along with this new turn of events along with everything else.

The boy's face changed again. "Sid... The forgotten one." The sword lowered slowly and was dropped. The boy sat down and turned into a turnip. "So it is over then," he sighed.

"What's over?"

The turnip smiled as if in joy. "The war." Sid's blank face gave him the message. "The war that split this world in two. That destroyed all that was once well... nice. That brought extreme order to this world. That shattered The Rob into thousands of pieces across this world giving both sides great powers. That erm. I think that's it."

"Ok then," said Sid wondering how to get away from this rather large vegetable.

"After the defeat of Bill the Happy Bunny he changed back into his normal bunny form with no memory of what had happened. That happened during the famous rescue of the prisoners by the great Jake the Armchair. I don't know the rest. But the crow of the north will be more help. He's in charge of our amry." The turnip then changed back into the boy. "Come on the war's over time to party."

"How'd you change into a boy?" Sid asked hopefully.

"When the powerful Rob was shattered into pieces the power that we were given could turn us into our real forms. Erm... I don't think you can turn back though."



"It was a dark monster that took over your body," the old man wheezed. They were inside the crow's tent. Outside the clouds were making the land a sort of dark purple. The Land of Rob had become a ruined land since this war had begun. Every tree was dead and no grass grew. From inside the tent sounds of a mad celebration could be heard. The old man was the crow in his real form.
"The dark monster once took control of Bill the Happy Bunny before you. With you it must have found the perfect host to carry its self. A new arriveal that no one knew anything about. No one would even give any attention to your strange behaviour for no one knew what you were like to begin with.
It mad you hate Rob by putting you through more random things than most people here experience. That hole in the wall which you described was part of it's plan to study you in more detail. The plan didn't work the way it wanted but it work as it found a new body to take over at the last minute as the great armchair attacked. You just missed that attack. From what you describe you were already under that thing's control."

Sid didn't know what to say to this. "I was just angry with that Rob for sending me here in the first place."

The old man sighed. "Rob didn't send you here. You sent your self. He created this land by an accendent and has tried to keep it from going too far with the wise clock at his side. He only wanted to help us by making our time here go by smootly."

Sid was confused, yet again. "But how did I send myself here?"

"Only The Rob can know that, which brings me to what I must say next. This world is dieing. It will not be long before it is destroyed completely with us all trapped inside it. The only way to save it is to bring back The Rob. The only way to do this is to change the past so the war never happened. If this was still the time of randomness we could open a portal that could send you there but in this time of order we simply can not do that.
"There is a way that we are working on now and will continue after the party. We are searching for the pieces of Rob that are lost in this world. This is one of them." The old man walked to a corner of the tent and dragged a cloth off a cage. Inside was a child no more than 5 years of age. The child looked bored and began to cry. The man quickly pulled the cloth over the cage again. The crying stopped and quiet sounds could be heard of the child going to sleep.
"I'm now going to make you search this world for more pieces. You will not be looking for them alljust one. We have tracked down nearly all of the pieces but we need to catch the rest. We know one is here," the old man pointed to a location on a map on the tent's wall. "With all the pieces together we can return this world back to normal maybe even change the past so it never happened. The world is in order so there is no danger except from that dark monster that took over your body Sid. It vanished when it released you. I'm providing you with two companions that will help you along the way.
"When you catch the piece of Rob do not let it out of your site for it will escape. Return it here at once. Do not trust anyone for the dark monster may have taken over them as well. You will leave at once. Good luck."

Sid rolled out of the tent. The old man's words seemed to have power. He just could not question them. That must have how he's been such a good leader over these people Sid thought.

He stopped rolling and looked. There to meet him were the pig and the small pink fluffy thing.

This is the story of Sid, who woke up one day to find that he had become a large head. Part 5.

It was when the pig looked up at him that he knew this wasn't right. Everything didn't seem right in this so called Land of Rob but he could somehow tell that he wasn't in the woodland anymore but in some sort of copy of it. Even with the sounds of birds, the smell of pine and his little piggy friend was there as it was before but it just didn't seem real somehow. What was it that made him feel this way?

Suddenly the pig chuckled. "I see it happened to you too. I know I'm a pig but a giant head, now that is new." It was now clear what is was that was wrong. This had already happened. Had he gone bad in time? With all that had happened this seemed very likely. He thought he'd play along and see what would happen this time. But it didn't go on much longer.

The whole world seemed to dissapear and the pig changed to that small pink fluffy thing. The woodland changed back to the passage of that castle he was in a few seconds ago. Everything was happening at once and Sid began to wonder if this was a dream, this world was mad and he was quite sick it of it now.

The small pink fluffy thing floated over to him and whispered urgently to him. "I bring word from the arm chair, a rescue is in progress for you."

Sid sighed. He had had enough of this. He now understood why Bill the Happy Bunny wanted revenge on this Rob. What right had this person to send people here against their will and turn them into things. And now this. Bring word from an arm chair? Oh come on. But he might as well follow this small fluff ball as there seemed nothing else to do.

A secret door appeared, coughed, danced a jig then opened to reveal many strange things all moving and talking. There was a toaster, a telephone, a CD, a tennis racket, a balloon and many other things. The pink fluffy thing floated high above them all and spoke. "Prisoners of Bill the Happy Bunny. Jake the ArmChair has come to free you all." To Sid's amazement these house hold goods began to cheer. Each one used to be a person with a life, Sid said to himself. How can they be happy here?

The things began to move down a corridor that sung away to them all. With merry dances and clangings from these things the whole room moved cheerfully along. The noise was not helping Sid's bad temper. He had had enough of all this nonsense and randomness. This had all gone too far. He almost wanted to join Bill's campain.

As if in answer to that thought there came a sound that silenced everything. All the items stopped moving at once. And for a while they just stayed motionless. Then suddenly with many bangs and yells they began to make an atempt at running. Sid looked around to the passage they had just walked down. No longer was it lit and dancing but now it was dark. So very dark. An icy wind was blowing down it growing stronger everysecond. Then the sound again. An icy scream to match the wind. The sounds of the others died and echoed away in his mind for a while. It was growing darker. So dark he could hardly see. Then there it was.

Two white ghosts of eyes were charging at him screaming high pitched and spine chillingly. There was no doubt it was Bill the Happy Bunny after them. Everyone was running in a panic. Fearing for their very lives. But for some reason Sid didn't move. He didn't want to. This rabbit wanted what he wanted. It was his ticket out of this insane world and he now wanted to help in ending all of this and putting a stop to this Rob once and for all before anyone else ended up here.

The eyes raced towards him now at an insane speed charing down the corridor leaving only darkness behind. The cold wind was now a storm banging all sides of Sid. His ears had lost all sound and his eyes could see nothing more than the two empty dead ones that were whizzing towards him faster and faster. The warmth from Sid left and he suddenly felt all of his very soul being sucked out of him. Feeling empty, cold, alone yet happy. An evil smile grew on his face. His eyes grew dead and he looked at nothing anymore. With a single thought he had joined Bill the Happy Bunny and had become just like him. When the eyes reached him he was no longer Sid.

The whole world grew dark around him. Only now did he relise what had happened. Only now did Sid see what he had done. But it was too late.
