Shivering cold

Quick learner

Everyone had spent half the day helping caverns and were now back at the cabin trying to find hints on the slugnet where the goon and Blakk could be hiding. Trixie was the first to speak up. "Hey look, it seems like all the lackeys flee this way, and any clips of the goon see him also taking of towards this general area." She said. Holly looked through the clips and it seemed like solid enough proof. "So, there's Mist cavern, Pine cavern, and Skate cavern all in that general area...it'd be cliche to be in Mist cavern, so we'll check there first." Holly said. Everyone hopped on their mechabeasts and took off.

When they arrived at Mist cavern, they all had some specialized goggles on that'd help them see right through the mist. Kord was absolutely amazed by the tech and was begging to know how it works. "Well, next time we visit Star, you can ask her. I haven't got a clue how these work." Holly said. As they walked through the mist, Holly saw an abandoned theatre. "That's just about the only buildin left in this cavern, if they're anywhere, it's there. It'd be best to put silencers on your blasters now." She said as she put a silencer on her blaster. Everyone else copied her. She heard Junjie mess with his wrist blasters and she sighed. "These aren't really meant for wrist blasters, but after this I'll see if Star can get some special made ones for you." She said. Junjie thanked her as they all approached the back of the theatre. She cautiously walked to the back door and opened it a crack to peek through. She didn't see anyone and signalled that it seemed clear but to keep their guards up. Everyone snuck in and looked around.  Nothing seemed out of the ordinary and everyone started to wander. "Man...nothin. Guess they aren't cliche like that." Holly said. Just as she finished speaking, ghouls were being fired at everyone. Holly fired Waddle and created cover for everyone before removing the silencer from her blaster. "It was a trap! Fuck, I'm sorry I caused this..." Holly said. Everyone assured her it wasn't her fault as they all held off the lackeys.

Holly noticed someone trying to flank them and she chased after whoever it was, splitting up from everyone else. "Stun em Stormcloud!" She said as she fired her tazerling. The person dodged but came to a halt. Holly caught up and saw that it was the goon. "Were you thinkin I wouldn't notice you? Nice fuckin try!" Holly said. "Need I remind you what happened last time we fought." He said. Holly hated the sound of his voice but pushed through the fear. "Yea, and I'd say I've learned a lot already since then." She replied. She then fired her Thresher at the goon before taking cover. He dodged then fired a Grimmstone at her cover but it stayed up. "Cmon firework, you got this..." Holly said as she loaded up her Hop Rock. She peeked from her cover and fired before hiding again. The Hop Rock hit the goon and Holly sprinted from her cover while loading up Remi. She saw the goon knocked on the ground trying to get up but she pointed her blaster at him. "Let Will go and I'll let you hop your little ass away." She threatened. "I must say, it's impressive you beat me." The goon said, completely ignoring Holly's threat. "What can I say, I'm a quick learner." She responded, reading herself to fire. "You may have beat me, but you didn't win." The goon said.

Holly suddenly felt something pressed up against her back and she glanced over her shoulder. Blakk was there with his gattler, ready to fire at her. Holly realized that she was screwed and dropped her blaster in surrender. "Run Remi..." Holly murmured. The goon got up and grabbed Remi before she could run off. "Let go of her dick face!" Holly yelled. The goon let out a sinister laugh. "I can't let a healer run free, that'd be stupid of me." He said. He tossed Remi on the ground and loaded himself into his blaster. He megamorphed and ghouled Remi as Holly cried out for her boon doc. "YOU FUCKIN MONSTER! YOU BASTARD! YOU DESERVE TO ROT IN THE DEEP CAVERNS FOR ETERNITY!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. The goon let out another sinister laugh. "Funny. You know, I've been waiting for a new host that knows these caverns, and you've proven yourself." He said. He then loaded himself in his blaster again. Holly's eyes widened as she realized what was about to happen but didn't get a chance to do anything as the goon fired himself at her. Will passed out as the goon hit her with his dark energy attack. Holly ended up passing out too.
