(Darel's pov)

The water was really cooling, I would have enjoyed it more if we weren't in trouble and battle . I slowly swam to the surface and felt the ceiling. Rocks, rocks and more rocks. I started to panic. Even though I am an amphibian, I have a limited breathing span and I am running of oxygen fast

Suddenly a hand grabbed my arm and threw me up. I was pulled out of the water and flung into the air

Darel: ARGHHHHH

???: DAREL, ITS JUST ME

My vision blurred but came into focus. I saw a Fire snake and he was glowing brightly

Darel: Char?

Char: Yea its me, you good?

Darel: More or less

Comet: Thank goodness you are alive

Darel: What do you mean

Comet: only the 5 of us are left(blue, Qibli, Char, Comet and Darel)

Darel: So what now

Comet: continue with the mission of course

He pulled out an Ak-47

Comet: Remember, shan't disgrace before death

Everyone: Yes sir!

Qibli pulled out a Detector and and we all headed into a cave that is not far from the pool

I followed but then I noticed that Comet stayed behind

He fired at the ground and took what seems to be tags with a tile on each of them

He then stabbed a broken DBV-12 into the ground in front of the pool and laid down the tags around it

Comet: May you all find peace among the stars

Then he left to follow them. I immediately trailed behind him

We went through ravines, underground canyons and lush caves

We made our way through a whole forest of glowing berries when Qibli who was at the front using a machete to slice through the forest of lush and moss suddenly fell through a hole

Qibli: ARG

Comet: Qibli!

We all peaked into the hole where he fell

Qibli: I AM OKAY!

Everyone: phew...

Suddenly Comet noticed something

Comet: Qibli, do not move

That is when I saw it, Qibli was standing on a dark green moss with neon green lines slicing thorigh the dark colours

Comet: You are on a tear-lium plate. It will trigger a series of vines that will grip your limbs and tear you apart if you move. Even if you fly...

Qibli: -gulps- o..okay

Comet slowly grabbed a nearby vine and slowly descend it into the hole. Comet then took a dyanamite and and lit the fuse

Comet: 3,2,1... CLIMB NOW

He dropped the dynamite as Qibli scrambled up the vine and the hole exploded sending moss and Qibli flying

He landed on the moss and scrambled back up to his feet

Comet: Carrying on...

-Throne room of jarrah's base-

-1 hour ago-

(Jarrah's pov)

jarrah: Well...well...well

I looked into a pool of magical water and saw Darel and few other people running into a cave

Quoba: What are we gonna do about it, my highness

Jarrah: Send the sweeping demon to the cave sector 52. This will be fun...

Quoba: yes my queen

She suddenly swirled her hands and weaved a bunch of webs.

Quoba: Send the sweeping demon to cave sector 52

I watched as soldiers fell and get slaughtered by marmoo. I chuckled and my chuckle turn into a laugh and from laugh to a cackle

Jarrah: you really think you can sneak in?

My hand glitched from the side effect of Comet's blood

Jarrah: This is just the beginning of the end...

-back to the moss cave-

(Comet's pov)

I brushed through the dense moss and lush. Watching my step as I make my way across the soft yet dangerous moss.

Suddenly I heard faint rustling

Comet: Everybody stop... We are not alone

I pulled out my AK-47 and aimed around the lush forest. Darel and the others did the same too

Blue: What is up with this twisted tranquilty

Qibli: What the hell is this

Comet: stand your ground

Suddenly the same sharp vine lunged at me and sliced my arm away

Qibli: WOAH

He fired at the vine sending green blood everywhere

I regenated my arm within a split second

Suddenly another vine shot past my head but I dodged it and sliced it

Suddenly more vines shot at us

Comet: GET BACK!

I fired at the the curling vines sending more green blood everywhere

Comet: Char set a fire!

Char: With pleasure

He stomped on the ground hard and a crack appeared on the ground and started growing. Then fire started spewing out of it, setting the moss and plants on fire

Comet: go! go! go!

We sprinted through the cave, slicing every moss, hanging vines or the shooting vines as the vines chased us

I was unable to see the oncoming vines but I was sure since the rustling of leaves was still there, dead behind us. Suddenly a vine was swinging horizontally right towards us

Comet: GET DOWN!

I grabbed Qibli's collar at the back of his shirt and threw him under a rotting log while I jumped and did a back flip, missing the sharp vines by an nano inch. I pulled out my gun while I was still in mid air and fired back at the barrage of leaves and hanging vines

I landed and immediately took cover behind the log with Qibli

Qibli: What do we do now?

Comet: Hmm

Suddenly a small pebble-like item dropped from my pack across my shoulder

Qibli: Are you thinking of what I am thinking?

Comet: This is gonna get ugly! Char!

I threw the grenade up and behind the log and the sound of what seemed to be a gun fire echoed around the cave and finally...

An explosion occurred

I was sent flying forward and landed on a slope. I started skidding down the mossy surface

Comet: F$#^!!!

I flipped over and dug my katana into the moss and dirt to create more drag

That's when I saw it, the edge of the slope, was a giant drop into the darkness. I grabbed my cable daggers and threw them up. Hoping it would get caught in a crevice or a hole. Nothing, I threw it again, it hit a rock but did not hook into it. I got closer to the edge as every second pass, like a countdown. Third time's the charm...I threw my cable daggers up one more time.

Just as I was about to fly over the edge, I felt a jerk on my left hand
