"Well, this is a pickle."Aella mumbled, "YOU CALL US HAVING TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH A PICKLE?"I snapped at Aella.
"C'mon. Let's be reasonable... it's probably not to the death- and- and- we'll figure something out."Loona smiled, but I could tell she wasn't so sure. Erik and Satan looked down at us, except, Erik looked confused and sort of scared, and Satan looked delighted to be watching a bunch of kids fight. I look over at the table of weapons, an Idea popping into my head.
"I've got an idea."I say, picking up a sword, which looked strangly familiar to Erik's, since my blade was no where in sight. "HEY! THAT'S- MINE! DON'T EVEN SCRATCH THAT, DELVAUX!"Erik yelled down at me. Soon, another person teleported into the arena, well- not a person... a dragon Like a biblically accurate giant dragon, it had clay-coloured scales and huge white fangs matching it's white horns. "Woah."Loona muttered from behind me, picking up a mace. I gripped tighter to Erik's sword, "Time for my plan."I mumbled. I walked towards Aella, like I was about to stab her, but then I swept under feet. "Ow."She gave me an angry look.
"No. No anger, No wrath. Were not giving her what she wants."I whispered to the both of them.
"But... what about the dragon?"Loona asked as Aella got up, dusting herself off. "We'll give it an unintersesting way to die, using wits."I smirked, Aella and Loona both seemed to know what I was talking about.
"FIGHT ALREADY!"Satan grumbled, her eyes starting to turn into little balls of flames. "Hmmmm, nope."Loona smirked, but gave the demon innocent eyes. The dragon was already getting restless, charging at Aella and me every so often
"NO- DON'T SAY NOPE! FIGHT! WITH SPEARS AND JUNK. RIP EACHOTHERS EYES OUT!"Satan snapped her fingers, making a spear appear in Aella's hands. "DOOO ITTTT!"Satan shouted, the crowd around us booed. "Any other plans, 'oh great wise one'?"Aella asked, poking the spear. "We grab Erik, run, and hopefully get the key on the way out."I say, Loona and Aella nodded.
Okay, what I did next was awesome, I climbed up the arena's stone walls, into Satan's litte seating area, sweeped her by her legs, and pointed the sword directly in her face. She smirked and simply turned the sword around back at me. She took the sword, stood up, and sliced my arm.
"OW! HEY!"I winced at the cut on my arm.
Erik stood up, I saw him slowly take a spear from the wall, and he stabbed her in the leg. She groaned in pain.
I looked down off the stage when I heard a loud thud, Aella had dodged the dragon charging at her, and it slammed into a wall.
"YOU LITTLE BRAT! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS?!"Satan yelled, but we all seemed to just... teleport away.
We appeared back in the forest, except... a lot of time had passed- it was already the late afternoon. Erik was dazed on the floor, but happy for us to be alive, Loona was giving us not-so-enthuasastic encouragment, and Aella seemed to already be moping. Yup, the team was pretty much already ruined. I slid the sword over to Erik, giving him a smile like "I'm about to do a cool speech, do somethin' about it. I dare you."
"Guys! Our parents are DEMONS FROM HELL, We're- set for anything!"I called out to them, with my most encouraging voice. "Yeah.. besides, who else has the chance to screw-up their lives with as cool as a group as you guys?"Erik asked, managing a smile. "Now, I think we've got a sister to save!"Loona smiled, Aella leaned on her shoulder for support, she seemed to be tired from today too.
Truth was, I didn't care where I was, as long as my friends were there. We were gonna save my sister. No buts about it.
