Chapter 21: Not The Bees

When the trio got back home, they opened their treasure bags. Zach got a Bee Keeper, Bell got a Bee's Knees and Beenades, and Mike got a Bee Gun. Bell sold her Demon Bow for some money. 

"Great job, everyone." Zach said.

"Yeah! We totally rocked!" Mike said excitedly.

"Say, Mike." Bell said.

"Yeah?"

"How did you jump as high as the Queen Bee back there?"

"Oh right, I should probably tell you." Mike began explaining. "Well, when I was in the honey, I saw a wooden crate floating around in it. I opened and got this bottle."

Mike presented his Tsunami in a Bottle to Zach and Bell.

"How does that explain my question, again?" Bell asked.

"I was just getting to that! You're so impatient!" Mike said. "When I picked it up, I tied it to my waist. When I jumped out of the honey, I felt... lighter. Like there was a geyser of water pushing me up. I felt that I could go higher. I jumped again and a burst of water pushed me up to the Bee."

"Wow, you can double jump, that's pretty cool." Bell said.

"Hey Zach, you've been pretty quiet. Why don't I give you a gift? I mean, you're basically our leader and I think the leader should have strong stuff!" Mike told Zach.

"What do you mean?" 

Mike gave his Tsunami in a Bottle to Zach and tied it to Zach's waist. 

"There! Now you're all suited up for battle!" 

"Thanks, Mike." Zach said.

"Welcome back, you three." The Guide said as he walked outside. "How did the fight go?" 

"It was... too close for comfort." Zach said. "Thank God Mike was still alive, or me and Bell would have not survived." 

"Yeah. Mike saved both of us." 

"Well. I know you are tired and want a break, but there is someone who needs your help." The Guide explained. "He is an elderly man, who has been cursed by the remnants of a tyrant that guards an ancient dungeon. The only way to rid him of his curse is to defeat his master in combat. His master only comes out during nighttime. He is a powerful foe, but I believe you can defeat him."

"That sounds terrible! Where can we find this dungeon?" 

"On the opposite side of the world from the Jungle, just past the snowy Tundra." The Guide said. "There is an ancient spell there that may help you. It is a Water Bolt. You can find it on the bookshelves of the Dungeon. It's an orange book, with a blue crystal in the center of the front cover. Be warned, if you go too deep, the Guardian of the Dungeon will surely kill you in seconds." 

"Alright, let's find that spell!" Mike said while running to the Tundra.
