This is a reinterpretation or alternate version of Y'shaati into the Darklands: The Arrival III
The wild girl gradually regained consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes and looked all around her. Everything was blurry. She was in a dark and humid place. Before long, she realized that the surface on which she was lying was very murky. An enormous ditch of mud.
"How did I end here? What is this place?"
The last thing Y'shaati remembered was a tough battle against a huge jakare as she fell down a gulch along with the beast. Apparently she had won that battle, but her defeated adversary was nowhere to be found. Still a little dizzy, the monkey girl brushed the mud off her body and began to search for a way out of the trench. As she moved around the place, she noticed that the ground was soft and light, definitely enough to sink if she wasn't careful. Perhaps the jakare suffered that same fate...
Y'shaati tried to climb one of the roots of a large tree to escape the place, but every time she tried to hold on with both her hands and her dexterous feet, she slipped due to the mud. If she wanted to escape from there, she would have to find another way to do it. However, just then, the ground below her began to tremble, as if something submerged underneath was about to emerge. With difficulty, the monkey girl moved away from there. She wasn't prepared to face a new threat just yet. And she certainly would never have imagined the magnitude of what was about to appear before her eyes...
A gigantic snout filled with innumerable lines of sharp teeth and a colossal tongue emerged from the underground. A horrid creature like nothing she had ever seen before. The monster immediately launched itself against Y'shaati to eat her with a single bite or crush her under his morbid belly. The blonde girl barely managed to dodge it and get out the way of the beast's attack. The massive weight and size of the monster raised a huge wave of mud that covered every corner. Y'shaati couldn't do nothing this time and was dragged through the ditch.
Struggling and kicking in distress to return to the surface, the monkey girl finally managed to get out of the mud and take a deep breath. Her naked body was completely covered in mud, from the top of her head to the tips of her toes. She wasn't used to the conditions of this place, so this definitely was going to be a challenge for her.
This nightmarish creature was known in the Darklands legends as E'zso, the "Devil Maggot". One of the many Dark Gods that roam free in this accursed land of Amazonia. A beast with a covetous spirit that wanders in the depths of the earth in search of its prey to satisfy an extreme hunger that seems to have no end. The creature had two small limbs very similar to human arms, as if it were an indication that this monster was once human...
Suddenly, the monster simply disappeared. Y'shaati thought this could be a good chance to escape, so she made her way through the ditch to try to climb the roots again. She crawled with all the strength left in her body, surprisingly managing to do better than last time she tried it. However, being only a few more steps away from escaping the trench, the Devil Maggot emerged once more, and seeing that its prey was about to flee, the creature opened its jaw again and stucked out its extense tongue. The monster's tendril quickly reached Y'shaati, wrapping around her hips. The monkey girl fell to the ground and began to being dragged into the grotesque mouth of the hellish maggot. She dug her fingers several times in the creature's muscle to try to hurt it and free herself, but this proved useless.
All her attempts to hold on to something were in vain. Fear flooded Y'shaati's mind more and more. At that moment, the monster used the great strength of its tongue to launch the girl several meters up. Y'shaati spun uncontrollably in midair for a couple of seconds, and when gravity finally did its thing, she saw the creature awaiting her with its snout open to devour her. Y'shaati simply closed her eyes...
Then, everything went completely dark. Not knowing how long it had been, the monkey girl came to her senses. As she tried to stand up, the surface she was on was moving strangely. The walls around her writhed in disgusting ways. And a sticky substance that produced a horrible stench was present at all times: Y'shaati was inside the entrails of E'zso. If anything positive could be mentioned about all of this, it was that at least she hadn't been chewed or crushed by the worm's teeth. But still, the situation remained critical. A weird feeling ran all over her spine. If she couldn't find a way to get out of there right away, she would surely end up being digested by gastric juices in a matter of minutes.
The wild girl started hitting all of the creature's stomach walls, but this seemed to have no effect. Desperation drove her to scream with all her might as she delivered all kinds of punches and kicks to get out. Suddenly, the monster's entire body shuddered, causing Y'shaati to nearly fall and die in the pool of stomach acid. However, upon close observation, she was able to notice something intriguing. Floating in those juices were parts of a dead creature... Seeing the shape of the corpse, she realized it was the Jakare she had fought with before falling into the ditch. The crocodile's huge fangs were still intact, so there was still little hope of being able to break out of E'zso's stomach.
Without thinking twice, Y'shaati dipped her hand and plucked one of the Jakare's fangs as fast as she could. This caused a slight burn on her right hand, despite the fact that it hadn't taken her even five seconds to perform this action. A kind of pain she had never felt before... but she didn't care. She didn't have time for that now. Once with the sharp object in her possession, the blonde girl began to tear one of the walls of the worm's entrails. A reddish liquid suddenly began to flow from the wound she caused, and at the same time, a roar could be heard from outside. Apparently, this time the monster was feeling each stab from within. Y'shaati didn't stop and continued to damage him from the inside. Her breathing was intense. The jet of blood that came out with more and more force began to flood the entire stomach of the worm, until a slight light appeared: the muzzle of the creature opened again due to another roar. It was now or never...
Y'shaati quickly crawled through E'zso's throat heading towards the exit. The monster roared in pain as he felt a powerful urge to puck so it could get rid of the blood that was flooding his inside organs. The worm's retching made it easy for Y'shaati to move quickly through its mouth. However, before she could be finally free, Y'shaati once again observed the creature's tongue, and without hesitation, decided to use the crocodile's fang to stab its root. Then, holding the monster's tendril with both arms and pulling with all her strength. It took her several tries until the wild girl screamed from the top of her lungs and managed to completely tear it away.
E'zso's last roar echoed in all directions, as he vomited up a large amount of blood, gastric juices, and all sorts of nasty things that were once found inside him. Y'shaati was thrown out at high speed, crashing straight into the mud once more. After a while, the worm stopped moving as its body began to sink into the mud. It was definitive... E'zso, the legendary Devil Maggot was dead.
Seeing this, the Queen of the Monkeys, without any more strength left in her body, finally collapsed from fatigue and exertion. A slight sigh of relief came out from her very soul. She had never been so close to death. But fortunately... today wasn't her time...
