Chapter 12: The Tunnels And Twists

“Man, they sure make these tunnels narrow or what,” Shadow explained, crawling through the tunnel.

“I’d say narrow,” Mosspath answered. Shadow stopped crawling for a moment to look at her.

“This is going to be a long day isn’t it,” retorted Shadow, while Mosspath stared at her.

She was going to enjoy this.

“Actually, it’s night time,” Mosspath corrected, staring into Shadow’s piercing eyes with her black eyes.

“Don’t push me, or I’ll be the one enjoying this,” Shadow threatened, glaring with a sinister smile.

“What!?” Darkskies shouted at Shunmasterwong. He was swinging from the top of the cave, tied to it by a feeble rope that would launch him into a pit of demons, and his brother was on his side. He did not think things could get weirder.

“The time of life will come to an era, when the fein of Darkskies loses his head!” shouted Shunmasterwong.

“Wait, I thought you said I’ll keep my head!” Darkskies exclaimed, causing him to rock back and forth a little too fast for his liking.

“I must go, for when the day of treachery comes to an end, so will your head!!” Shunmasterwong chanted, halfway through when PolarChris and Zadimus Bloodgod entered.

“I don’t agree with this plan.” PolarChris broadly shook his head.

“Relax, if they pick him,” Zadimus answered, pointing towards Darkskies. “We’ll kill them then. They’ll either have a snitch in their rank, which would be useful for revealing information like who sent them, how to make their deaths entertaining, or just kill them then,” Zadimus replied with an almost pleasant voice, making it seem like the best thing in the world.

“Fine, but I’ll still track their progress with my new and improved Tycho,” he asserted, trying to make the person who had defeated the Titans agree with him. And it worked.

“What are they planning for me?” murmured Darkskies, extremely worried for him and his team.

“Are we there yet?” HadiesStar asked SilentStrike.

“We’d probably be there if you hadn’t set a bonfire using the candle,” SilentStrike answered, showing his annoyance.

“I need… a… uh… break,” HadiesStar wheezed through pants. He moved over to what he thought was a rock.

“Yeeha!!” yelped the rock. HadiesStar examined it more carefully and saw that it was in actuality a demon.

“I just sat on a demon!” yelled a new revived HadiesStar, ready for action. Suddenly, the three saw a swarm of the so-called rocks charge towards them for a full scale invasion.  

“Use your Mark of Hades, HadiesStar!” SilentStrike shouted over the sound of random ice spikes and rushing demons.

“I can’t see!” HadiesStar complained, blindly throwing fireballs, nearly hitting the rest of his group with each fireball.

“Guess!” SilentStrike shouted over the explosion of one of his special arrows.

“I don’t want to vaporise you guys!” HadiesStar yelled. SilentStrike realized something.

“Can you shoot a fireball big enough to light the cavern?” SilentStrike asked.

“Already on it!” HadiesStar shouted over the chaos. In reality, he knew that there was a good 96% chance that he’d explode, but at least he’ll explode his friends. Wait, that’s not good. Then he released the flame energy, successfully accomplishing the task. Next, SilentStrike shot one arrow. He quickly put his bow away and focused on the single arrow. It rapidly moved and zig-zagged through all the demons, slicing through all their hearts before falling. HadiesStar and Wizshark just stared.
