"Leave...leave...LEAVE!!" The monster shouted. It raised one arm and swung at Deuce. But luckily before it made contact [Name] was able to pull Deuce out of the way. Ace looked over at the two with an annoyed look on his face.
"Some good you are. Stay back Mr. Serious, I'll handle this," he said. He raised his magic pen crystal thing and cast his spell. However, it seemed to be of no effect but instead made the monster even angrier. The monster screeched out and [Name] looked over at Ace.
"Congratulations Carrot Top you made it angrier."
"I'd like to see you do something about Stitches. You can't even use magic! ACH-" [Name] grabbed a stone that was laying around as ace was hit by the monster. Once she found a sharp stone, she tossed it up a few times. She reeled back her arm and threw the stone like a dart. It flew through the air and made contact with the monster's glass head causing a crack. The monster once again screeched out in pain and brought one hand to hold the new crack as ink leaked out the opening.

Seeing an opportunity to escape, [Name] grabbed Grim and pulled the other two to their feet but then, she saw a glimmer at the edge of the tunnel. "Was that a glint? Perhaps the magic crystal?" She wondered out loud. Ace and Deuce looked at where she was looking and saw the glint as well. Unfortunately, it was behind the monster.
"GO AWAY! IT'S MIIIIINNNNE! WON'T GIVE! WON'T GIIIIIVVVE!" The monster yelled again. Grim trembled from his hiding spot on [Name]'s shoulder.
"L=l-let's get out of here! We'll be done for at this rate!" The cat-like monster exclaimed.
"Stop standing there like statues! Let's go," [Name] yelled at them. Seeing as they didn't move, she sighed in annoyance and then proceed to sling them over her other shoulder and under her arm. The monster let out a small softer growl as it watched them leave.

Seeing as they were in a more safe area, [Name] dropped Ace, set Deuce down, and let Grim get himself off. Did she intentionally drop Ace? Yes. Yes, she did. Ace groaned and picked himself up, "No one said anything about monsters in the mine."
"It certainly didn't seem like a ghost," the blueberry said while crossing his arms. [Name] rolled her eyes and walked off at the sound of a crow's cry.
"Let's just give up and go home. I'd rather be expelled than face that thing ever again," Ace sighed. Deuce's brows furrowed as he looked over at Ace,
"What?! Don't screw with me," he scowled, "I'd rather die than face expulsion! There's a magic crystal right there and you're just going to leave it?"
"Hah. You talk so big for someone worse at magic than me. Go alone if you want. I'm done."
"Oh is that right?! Fine, you stay here then you spineless coward!" What the fuck. What the fuck was with the entire attitude change?
"Huh? 'Coward'? Just who exactly do you think you're talking about?"

"Is it just me [Name], or had Deuce been possessed?" Grim asked but got no answer from the girl. "[Name]?" He turned to look at where the girl was last standing but there was no one there. "[Name]?!" At the sound of Grim's voice getting louder, the two stopped their bickering.
"What are you yelling about?" Deuce asked the little monster as he calmed down from...whatever the fuck that was from earlier.
"I can't find [Name]," Grim responded. Deuce looked at Grim confused,
"What are you talking about? She's rig-Huh?" Ace scoffed,
"And you called me the coward! Useless. Just like you Mr.Serious."
Deuce side-eyed the orange-haired male as he begins to crack his knuckles, "You wanna say that again."
