"..where am I?"

"Greetings, minions! And I greet you to uhm.... Hell."

"You have all been created for the sake of serving me, and help us succeed world domination!"

"Countless of failed experiments, seems like finally the time I succeed."

"I'm going to set traps for these two.. people, and once we've trapped them I- I mean WE can succeed in our domination."

"Now! Go through the portal and find them, it shouldn't take long!"

*in unison* "ALL HAIL X! ALL HAIL X! ALL HAIL X!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This won't take long..

"..."

"Minion! What are you doing? Go! Leave! Go find them with your others.

"Erm I don't feel like it."

"Defective minion? The Pit for you!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo"

"Well I guess I should be on my way too."

"Oh! Kai! (I almost forgot about her)"

"Yeah! I'm still here! In Hell.."

"I don't need you anymore, so I'm going to hold you hostage until something happens, or you're useful."

"Well don't leave me here! I need food and nutrition!"

"Well, I suppose we could just sit here until somebody drops dead, but I need to go. Bye!"

"NO!"

"..damn it"

"..."

"Have we found the key yet, Wide?" Asked Slad.

"No, as I said, it can be anywhere."

"Maybe.. it's in one of these trees! Check every one."

They checked and checked, nothing. It took a long time, it felt like it was all pointless.

"Let's just go check the house, this is a waste of time."

"Yeah good idea."

After a PAINFULLY long trek back to the house..

"Well we're back! And it looks... interesting." Said Slad.. very soft.

"Interesting? There's nothing here anymore! Just rubble. X is the only person who could've done something like this."

"Yeah you think? Anyways, I don't like this as much as you do, because I'm the one who got thrown into a pit at Hell itself.. well I think. I- I don't know some void or dimension."

Slad continued.

"And he's already going to kill us because he's incredibly powerful and we can't find that key!"

"..well, I guess we do have some plan, but I think it'll take along time."

Wide tried to comfort him.

"The whole Earth would crumble to pieces anyways, the Earth isint stable or strong enough for someone like X. And when that happens, there's nothing to do. Aimlessly wander in space. Oh wait, they're the ISS, but no.. that would be gone too. There's some- you know what? Point is if the Earth crumbles and ceases to exist X will have nothing to do because no humans = no domination = bored ness = torture."

"Unless aliens exist, they're nothing to do, or no point."

"Maybe he'll takeover other galaxies and pursue, but again.. no humans no point."

"But I'm getting off track here, we still need to find that key." 

Slad felt better.

"Yeah you're right! Oh wait, what's that?"

The key appeared seemingly out of nowhere, right in the middle of the rubble.

"It's the key for the prophecy, Wide! This is our chance! We can finally get that prophecy!"

Wide and Slad felt victorious after all the progression.

"We still need to walk back the 5 mi-" 

"POSITIVE! Be positive! We found the key so we have that, let's just get it."

Slad wanted Wide to be positive. That's the way to go, right?

"Just grab it Slad before it disappears or something."

"Yeah."

Slad grabbed the key.

"..."

"What happened?"

"Agh.. I can't get my hand off, there's a force or something.."

"Slad! The key! It disappeared!"

"Uh oh."

"..."

"I honestly, TRULY didn't think you both would fall for that. In fact I coordinated much more traps further ahead if you got through this one."

"X why won't you leave us alone?! Don't you have something better to do?"

"Yeah, distracting you and getting that key."

"Better question, where's Kai? What have you done to her?"

"That's not important right now."

"What's important is my MINIONS killing you and Wide, I'm afraid  you're both surrounded."

"Oh no.."

X' minions surrounded them. Thousands upon thousands of minions. 

"To that leading to a distraction and death which means I'll find the key."

"You know what? This plan went so well, I'm going to give you and Wide a chance and kill the enemies!"

"Yes! This needs to be fair."

"Too bad, I'm joking of course, goodbye."
