Battle of Bones (Anomaly Saga #5)

After they managed to open the door again, they all stepped in one at a time. River was so hesitant that Locket had to push her in.

Sandy went last, and she found that through the door was a massive hole. Sandy leapt down and began to descend deeper into the Earth.

"Two great falls in less than twenty-four hours!" Locket shouted. "One of the worst days of my life!"

Chaps and Chapalina slowly glided down using umbrellas. Chapalina's was pink with a Princess Peach crown printed on it, and Chaps' was black and gold with the word 'Gentleman' emblazoned over the top.

The large group of people all screamed, almost in unison, while the two skeletons caught up and gossiped.

They all eventually landed on a large pillow at the bottom of the cave. They all took time to gather themselves, then shoved and pulled on each other until all of them were off of the pillow.

And they began to venture deeper into the cave. They headed towards a bright purple light, and they ran into Chaos by another door. He was slouched down on the ground next to it.

"I have been bested by doors yet again!" the purple skeleton exclaimed. "This is very inconvenient."

Chapalina giggled, and Chaps nodded. "Looks like someone needs to catch up on Mega-Gorblus lore," Chaps said.

"YOU ALL CAME . . . HOW LOVELY," a loud, ghastly and booming voice said. The entire gang was taken aback."

"Whatever is through that door," said Alf, "we'll toast it, roast it, dice it, and eat it as dinner." He pulled a machete out of his jacket pocket. Camellia and Preston nodded in agreement.

"Let's blowtorch the thing!" Jenna exclaimed. Down with oppression!"

A large purple energy beam burst into the room, taking everyone up inside of it, including the Chaps siblings, and lifting them into the air.

The group of heroes tried to talk, but none of them could.

"Fighting cannot save you in this scenario," said Mega-Gorblus. "You are all selfish. Especially Leo. He is the only one who can speak."

"What do you want with us?" Leo asked.

Mega-Gorblus letting out a ghastly and ghostly sounding laugh. "You caused a great imbalance. Millions of realities have suffered due to your antics. Trillions of people have suffered because you can't keep things in their own dimensions. It all began with you, Leo. If you had just held your greed inside of you, you wouldn't have brought a yarn girl here. You set up a rocky rollercoaster. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" Mega-Gorblus shot Leo out of the group of people, and he fell to the ground at enough of a distance to break his left arm.

"I will control every one of your allies, and turn them all against you," said Mega-Gorblus. "Then, you will see how it feels to have everything taken from you!" A loud drill sound echoed off of the cave's walls.

Leo thought all hope was lost, until he heard bickering. He rolled over on his side and saw Vincent walk into the cave.
