Remaining Anonymous/Part 3

Empath was with Brainy and Papa Smurf as they were setting up the camp so that they could have a place to rest and eat. "So what do you think of our resting place, Papa Smurf?" Brainy said, showing the makeshift beds that were made out of thick moss and sticks.

Papa Smurf examined them thoroughly. "I think these will make adequate beds for us to smurf on, Brainy, although I am not sure about having to lie down on solid earth as you young Smurfs are fond of smurfing."

"That idea actually came from Empath, Papa Smurf," Brainy said. "I just went along with it because I figured he knows much more about nature than I do and how to adequately apply things of nature as far as preparing ourselves a place of comfortable rest and..."

"You both smurfed a fine job," Papa Smurf said, interrupting Brainy. "Tonight I'm certain that we'll be resting comfortably and that we shouldn't have any problems as far as shelter and safety."

"This smurf would be honored to make things more comfortable and safe for ourselves, given the...," Empath started to say when he saw something in his mind that was happening. "Clumsy and Anonymous...they're in trouble!"

"Trouble? But how?" Papa Smurf asked.

Empath tried to look further into the vision he had, only to come up with nothing but frustration. "There's not much this smurf could see, Papa Smurf, except that Clumsy was changed somehow, with very big feet."

"It figures that Clumsy would smurf himself into trouble with those feet of his," Brainy said. "He's the only Smurf that I know of who smurfs to be born with two left feet, and who knows what he might smurf into when he..."

"Brainy, smurf it!" Papa Smurf said curtly. To Empath, he said, "We'll keep ourselves aware of what might be smurfing on if you're seeing trouble happening near us. Meanwhile, don't be upset if you can't smurf anything more in your vision."

"This smurf hopes that Anonymous is all right, Papa Smurf," Empath said, sounding very concerned about him. - Elsewhere in the camp, Greedy was at work in his makeshift kitchen, cutting up half the vegetables he found in the woods and also eating the other half.

"Mmmm, I love cooking vegetables, but I love eating them even more," Greedy said.

Just then Mystico showed up. "My, what a big mouth you have!" he said in a mocking tone.

"Of course I do, whoever you are," Greedy said. "That's why they call me Greedy. Would you care for something to eat?"

"No thanks, I already have my hands full," Mystico said, raising up his hands and waving them at Greedy.

Suddenly Greedy found himself transformed into a goblin, with a mouth so wide that it stretched out past his face on both sides.

"But you'll never be able to keep your mouth full," Mystico said, laughing as he leaped onto the table and then leaped off it to go find more victims in the forest.

Greedy felt his face, feeling that something was now wrong with him, and then he looked at the shiny underside of his pan and screamed in horror at what he has now become.

"PAPA SMURF!" he cried out. - Meanwhile, Hefty was out in the forest collecting firewood for the camp when Mystico approached him. "Hello there," the goblin greeted. "My name is Mystico. What's yours?"

"They call me Hefty Smurf," Hefty replied.

"Ah, yes, a strong name to go with a strong grip," Mystico said, suddenly grabbing Hefty's hand with such a grip that Hefty couldn't wrestle his way out of. "In fact, you'll make a very strong-armed goblin indeed."

Mystico raised his other arm and waved his hand over Hefty's arm, and soon Hefty was changed into a goblin with very big muscular arms...arms that were too big and heavy for Hefty to use properly.

"Hey, what have you done to me?" Hefty cried out, feeling the incredible weight of his bulky muscular arms.

Mystico laughed maniacally. "Why, don't you like being big and strong? Now you won't have to work out so much to have such big arms as you have now!"

"Just wait until I get my smurfs on you!" Hefty said, trying to move his big arms to attack Mystico, only to fail again and again as the goblin easily evaded the clumsy swings of Hefty's big arms.

"Easier said than done, Goblin Hefty," Mystico said as he ran off to leave Hefty with his predicament. - Meanwhile, Brainy was with Empath and Papa Smurf as he was now trying to start a fire by rubbing a stick back and forth in a circular motion.

"Trying to get a campfire started requires patience, Papa Smurf," Brainy said. "Fortunately, I, Brainy Smurf, happen to be the most patient..."

Suddenly Mystico jumped out of the trees before the three of them. "You, my bespectacled friend, talk too much!" he shrieked. He raised his arms and waved his hands, and soon Brainy was turned into a goblin that spoke very fast gibberish. Then he turned his attention to Papa Smurf. "While you, bearded one, happen to be a good listener!" he said, before raising his arms and waving his hands to turn Papa Smurf into a goblin with very big ears.

Empath did not like what he was seeing. "You're the one this smurf was sensing out in the forest!" Empath said, talking directly to Mystico. "You turn this smurf's friends back to normal right now!"

"Ooh, a bold one that directly defies me!" Mystico said. "You like to hear voices inside your head? Well, how would you like to hear many voices at the same time?"

Mystico raised his arms and waved his hands toward Empath, and suddenly Empath was turned into a goblin. At that same instant, Empath was assaulted by an auditory explosion of voices that were all speaking at the same time inside his head.

"AAAAAH...ALL THESE VOICES...THIS SMURF...CAN'T TURN THEM OFF!!!" Empath screamed, cluthcing his head in pain.

Mystico laughed at Empath's misfortune. "This is fun!" he said. "I won't stop until I turn all the living things in the forest into goblins!" He then hopped away, leaving the three Smurfs turned into goblins to deal with their fate.

Unknown to anyone, Anonymous was hiding in the shrubbery, watching as Mystico turned Papa Smurf, Brainy, and Empath into goblins. "Oh no, I'm too late!" he said, realizing the danger he put his friends into
