Chapter 8: Gres.

The very air in my body felt like it was leaving for good.

Is this how it ends?

"GRAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A familiar voice screams.

"Crap!" Gres gets struck by something, loosening his hold on my neck.

As I gasp for air, he shoots a web at my neck.

Before it hits me, a blade cuts it in half.

"Ojo!"

"Don't call me that!" She covers her face.

"Just leave it to me!" She dashes at Gres, cutting his web shots in two.

"You!" He waves his hand to the right a massive web wall forming, trapping Ojo.

Ojo quickly cuts herself out, throwing her katana at Gres and enveloping herself in water.

Gres grabs the katana with his spider appendages, throwing it upwards.

He then wraps his fist in webs, aiming for the katana.

Ojo dashes to the katana and envelops it with water.

But Gres punches the katana, cracking it.

"I know all your little tricks, Princess."

Ojo, enraged, kicks Gres in the stomach, leaping away.

Ojo throws water in the air, then propels herself towards Gres.

"Taste this, you freak!"

The water in the air turns into tiny little katanas, cutting through Gres.

"You little...!" Gres puts two fingers on his forehead, then violently takes them off, revealing an eye.

"What?" Ojo jumps backwards, wary of the weird eye.

"The elders power gave me this little toy!" His webs turn purple, becoming razor sharp.

Gres makes a katana fully out of webs and puts it on his pointer finger.

"Let's get on with this, shall we?"

"Gres!" Ojo runs at Gres, only to be cut down.

"Ojo!" I try to hit Gres with starfire, but he webs my hand into the wall.

Ojo falls to the ground.

"Wooh, that was a bit of a challenge." Gres walks over to me.

"Time to shut you up."

"Forever."

He makes a knife out of purple webs, aiming it at my throat.

"Any last words?"

"No." I accept my fate.

"Ok!" He swings his arm back, making it halfway to my neck before he stops.

"Urgh!" His arm started shaking.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Gres is suddenly thrown far away from me.

Standing above me was Zilla and Olo, furious and battle-ready.

"Let's get him!" Zilla yells.

"Mhmm." Olo mutters.

Zilla spits out a tooth of his, expanding it into a sword.

Olo catches the tooth, then wraps it in Space-Metal™ and throws it into Zillas mouth.

Zilla throws it upwards and transforms his nubby arms into buff humanoid like ones.

He then grabs it and runs toward Gres.

"There's no way these guys could beat me." Gres throws his hands out shooting 7 purple webs at Zilla.

"Good job, almost had me scared there." Zilla cuts the webs into pieces, then stomps the ground, a huge fissure blocking Gres from seeing him.

"Here!" Zilla passes the sword to Olo, then breaks the fissure, grabbing Gres and throwing him backwards toward Olo.

"Goodnight." Olo shuts his eyes then grabs the sword, slashing Gres 10 times.

"GUAHH!" Gres slashes Olo with a web while falling, rendering Olo's left arm unusable.

Olo quickly passes the sword to his right arm, and throws it downwards.

Ojo's body threw her hand upward, causing Gres to be swallowed by water.

"Not like this!" Gres throws massive amounts of purple webs everywhere, terribly wounding Zilla and Olo.

But it was too late.

The sword stabs into Gres's chest, killing him instantly.

Gres falls to the floor, the thud signaling that we have won.

"Goo...d....Job!" Zilla barely manages to let out before falling onto the ground.

"You...too." Olo falls onto the ground next to Zilla.

The pain of somehow staying awake gets to me, knocking me out.

Before I fall asleep, I see Shell's arm twitch.

Don't succumb!

Wake up!

Thankfully, I wake up, crawling over to Shell.

"Shell..." I call out to her. She lifts her head up.

"Spe...cial?" She looked so sad.

"Are you ok?" I ask.

"No...but...I'm...good...after....some....time.." Her head fell on the floor, signaling her passing out.

Guess I'll go out.

I fall asleep, the next step of my adventure unknown.
