Chapter 71 by sumedokin

And so the tables turn...

Down The Rabbit Hole.

What a way to wake up, huh?
The sound of rolling waves gently whispering you out of your slumber. The tropical sun shedding its hot light through your eyelids. The taste of the salty brine from the air entering your nostrils.
And then the Earth itself rumbles.

The Bitch Witch didn't even get time to brush the sand off her hat, when toppled down from the ground shuddering under her feet.
Behind her a flock of seagulls scattered into the sky in a bluster of frantic squawks. The sea bubbled angrily before her. The sand shifted beneath her. She clenched her eyelids. She stretched herself over the ground in a vain attempt to pull it all together.
She screamed a blood-curdling scream.
Then, the trembling stopped.

She held on long after the ground had calmed. She wasn't ready to yet to trust the ground not to fly off on its own again. But it's not like she could lie down there forever. Eventually, she had to get back up. One foot at a time.
There we go.
She took a couple of steps. Slowly. Just to check if the ground was as steady as it seemed. Nothing but sandy beaches to the left, and the right. Behind her, the adorable little head of a bunny smiled back, carved out of the black cliff of a towering mountain in the middle of the island. From there, grey slivers of smoke rose out of the top.
She turned towards the sea. Something was off there.
The waves weren't anywhere near that close before.

She was struck right out of her musings by another earthquake. She dove right back to the ground, and tucked herself into a fetal position.
That earthquake came and went as well, and she stood up once more. This time the waves nearly reached her toes.
Realization hit her like a sledgehammer.
It wasn't the water that crept closer. No. It was the island that was sinking!

Right into shark-infested waters.

No, no. This wasn't about ****. I'm not gonna get hung up on some petty grudge like a strung up old hag with more boobs than brain.
Live and let live! That's what I say.
In fact, I'm helping her out!

This girl here is in **** need of a lesson. One of these days, that brat is gonna earn herself the ire of the wrong person, someone who won't put up with her little temper tantrums. You can't go through life as if the world revolves around you. Or your enormous boobs.
Believe you me, this Bitch Witch was heading down the road to calamity. Unless, someone could be there to nudge her in the right direction.
And that someone was gonna be me, I've decided. I'm gonna take time out of my day to show her the error of her ways. Let's give her a dose of her own medicine, shall we? Maybe then she'll think twice the next time she orchestrates a nightmare world to mock decent hardworking gals like me.
You're welcome.

She backed away from the waves, all while keeping her eyes fixed on some fins tracing circles in the distance. That's right. Sharks. One of which popped up from under the surface. See, it turns out they weren't just sharks.
They were shark girls.
Like mermaids. But sharks. Smooth light-grey skin from top to tail.
They shot her a wide grin full of big jagged teeth.

Don't let their soft, pillowy curves fool you. These ladies were ripped. You could grate cheese on those abs! And they all stared hungrily at their prey, drifting towards them along with the shore on which she stood. One seismic shock at the time.

BOOM!
She got hit by another earthquake! The water rose higher still. At that rate it was gonna swallow the beach whole. In fact, she rushed into the jungle to escape just that predicament.
But that did nothing except to delay the inevitable.

She could only climb so high. The tallest point was the rabbit volcano, but cuddly as it may be, it was doomed to be dragged into the ocean with the rest of the island.
There was nowhere to run. One way or another, she'd fall into the deep abyss. There, all the fishy friends she could ever want awaited her.
Try as she might, any attempt to flee was nothing but laughable.
I could only laugh.

"AEHEHEHEHEHE!"
She leered at me from below.
Oh, I watched all of this from the sky. Opened up my Cloud Platform App. The only cloud in the sky was a bright golden little fluffy platform where I got the front row seat to her untimely demise.

"Having fun up there?" She yelled all grouchy.
"Oh, I'm having a blast!" I shouted, "Wish I brought popcorn. They really should let us take organic material into the teleporter."
"I can fly. You do realize that, right?" She declared in an assertive tone, "Trapping mages on a desolate island is a fool's errand."
"By all means, be my guest." I hovered my finger over the icon to my Enhanced Gravity App.
"...You're on to something. I just know it. You're on to something, and I for one am not falling for it."
I shot her a lopsided smile she almost certainly couldn't see, "Suit yourself. Not like it's gonna change anything either way."
"Silence!" She shrieked, "Be quiet you Fake Genius! Do you have any idea to whom you are speaking? I'm Beatrice! The Witch of Miracles! Do you suppose you've got me figured out? Do you imagine you have me at an advantage? Then you'll have something else coming for you! I'll get myself off this island! And I'll do it without getting as much as a drop on me! And most of all, I'll kick your fanny all the way to... AEEEHHHH!"

Yet another earthquake tripped her. This time the ocean reached to the foot of the mountain, and the shark girls were so close I bet she could make out the gills on their necks flapping when giggling in excitement.
The self-proclaimed Witch of Miracles started climbing the black cliffs.

It must be said, for someone with the body of a Number Eight, she didn't have any problem scaling the giant bunny face. I wouldn't call her catlike. More like a cockroach, really.
That just goes to show what you can accomplish once you've got the right motivation.

She weathered earthquake after earthquake without falling off. And when boulders rolled down the mountain, did she lose her shit? No! Not more than usual anyhow. She took cover under some outcrops, and if that didn't help, she held on to the rock with one hand and swung away!

The rising water was still hot on her heels though, and with every earthquake the island got swallowed up a little more. The stone bunny was up to its neck in water, and the mersharks swam laps around what remained of the once towering mountain. At that point they leapt at the Bitch Witch in an attempt to haul her down with them to the deep blue for some intimate time.
"YEAAAWWWCHH!" One of them dug her teeth into her big round butt. So frantically did she kick her legs, for a moment I thought they were gonna fly off.
I heard a distinct rip. The shark fell back to the water, but she took a piece of her with her. Or should I say, a piece of her dress.
There it was, ladies and gentlemen; her bountiful rear, for all there to see. Wrapped up in fluffy white bloomers.

By then only the bunny ears popped up from the surface, kind of like a pair of bridges made of stone. The Bitch Witch had already passed them by then, and another earthquake made the volcano literally up to its ears with water.
Well, she made it. She climbed over the edge to the very peak of the island. Which actually was just the island at that point.

Congratulations. She reached the top.
Now the only way remaining was down. Ahead was the fuming mouth of the volcano. Behind her, the shark girls looked at her like lunch.

I gave her a round of rousing applause, "Gotta hand it to you, my Bitch Witch, that was epic right there! You did not disappoint. But the show's over now. That's as far as you can go. Just jump into the shark, will you? They're not gonna hurt you. Just-- Cuddle up with you a little bit. Or, you know... You could just surrender. Seems like as good a time as any, really. So? How about it?"

She glared up at me with the most 'screw-you' expression I've ever seen, then dove into the volcano.
Oh... That was very dumb. Not that I expected that haughty hag to do anything else. Still disappointing though.
I turned on the Enhanced Gravity App and flicked it to sub-zero value. Don't worry, it was a long way down to the lava. I had time. Not that it made it any less of an inconvenience for me, but at least I'm not gonna end up as much a loser as her.
... That's what I thought. Then I heard her voice echo from inside the pit:
"FIRE BOMB!!!"

Oh...?
Oh. Oh!
Well, shit!

BOOOOOM!!!

Oh fuck!
I felt that!
A black plume exploded out of the volcano's mouth. One that dwarfed the original island and blotted out the sun. Ash. Fire. Debris the size of briefcases hurtling outwards. Some of them boulders could've taken my head off! And they would have, if I hadn't dodged just in time. That was fucking close!
But not as close as that Witch. Man! I wish I had half the dedication for anything, the way she had dedication for getting herself killed.
Yeah, no. She was toast. Not walking out of there alive. Not from a friggin' volcanic eruption.
Unless... that's what she wanted me to think.
I looked over my shoulder. There she was. Soaring at me. Like an eagle.
Clever girl. She teleported herself high into the air after planting her little volcanic seed, then merely flew away.

My cloud only barely managed to duck out of her path.
She dove toward the erupting cloud, landing on the frozen lava floating in huge stone blocks near the volcano.

"Fire Arrow! Fire Arrow! Fire Arrow! Fire Arrow! Fire Arrow...!"
She pelted me down with wave after wave of fire darts, without aiming or thinking. Hitting me like that was exceedingly unlikely. But it also made dodging them practically impossible. I wasn't hit by any of them though, but one managed to puncture my cloud.
"Ah shit! Ahhh!" I slipped through it when it scattered into slivers of golden mist. Down towards the sea I fell. And what greeted me below, if not that swarm of horny shark ladies, staring up with ferocious grins as I grew closer and closer.
They began to leap towards me, competing to be the very first to snatch me from the air.

Just as one of them snapped her teeth at me, I nudged the screen.
Time to dimension-hop again.
The relentless cackling of the Bitch Witch came to an abrupt end, when I splashed in the icky sticky golden fluid that suddenly awaited beneath me.
Ewww... It never stops being gross. But hey! I got away from the lewd maws of those fishy ladies at least.
Which is not to say I was gonna let her get away with it. I pressed 'recover' on my Multipurpose Multiverse App. The Bitch Witch landed a yard or two away from me, with a faint splash and a shrill scream.

Now let's see how she likes this universe!

What's next?
