The Origami King: Prism Saga

~Chapter Five~

[A NEW CHAPTER AFTER 50 BILLION YEARS!]
(Character Death Warning and slight cursing)
Huey floated towards Overlook Tower where ColoredPencils was. "Jeez you can't really overlook this can you?"  He said looking up at Overlook tower.
Suddenly a needle pierced beside him gleaming in the sunlight. Huey looked at the needle in shock, "What in the lost levels!? Who threw that?" He said looking around. A string grabbed the needle and dragged it into the trees when Huey wasn't looking and left him confused when he turned around. "Where did the needle go?" He said looking around for it. He sighed, "Well somebody probably just threw it here by accident...but I mean who just has a giant needle laying around?"
The question of who threw the needle still remained in Hueys head as he went up Overlook tower.
Once he got to the final floor he was shocked to find it empty. Usually, Colored Pencils was at the top drawing the landscape. But this time the top was empty not even a toad was there and Huey started to realize that everywhere he's gone so far was as empty as a ghost town.
"Huh, that's odd perhaps they found out about Kakarauri and went to warn the others? But why take very single toad..."
Before Huey could think of something the same needle from earlier shot down and stabbed Hueys side causing colorful paint to spill onto the floor.
The needle retracted dragging Huey with it into the vents, but when he got to a two-way path a kusarigama cut the rope attached to the needle.

Huey hit the floor with a thud, "Ugh my everything hurts..." Huey said floating up. He looked around, "Hello? Who's there?!" He said looking into the shadows.
He jumped back when a Dry-Bones stepped out. "AH! Stay back!" He yelled. "Hey don't worry I'm not going to hurt you! I want to help you and uh...you kinda look like you need it." They said pointing to the puncture wound which was currently oozing out multicolored paint. Huey panicked, "How did I not notice that!?" "Hey don't panic you'll only make it worse! Follow me there's a secret passage that leads to my underground lab." Huey looked at the other path and followed the Dry-Bones.
After a few minutes, Huey started to slow down. "Uh, are you ok?" The Dry-Bones said turning around. Before Huey could answer he collapsed onto the ground. The Dry-Bones rushed to Huey, "Paint can? Paint can!"
Huey's POV: I woke up in a dark place with no lights in sight. I sighed, "I know you're there we've done this before." I said.
Black Paint emerged from the dark, "Oh come on can't you at least act a BIT scared?" He complained with an eye roll.
"Listen this isn't the time to be messing around I need to wake up now! Plus you're not even a threat to me." I said. Black Paint rolled their eyes at me, "Pff you just say that 'cause you want to get away from me." He pouted.
I sighed he's really trying to make this hard isn't he?
"Listen Black Paint I need to wake up to warn the legion about this witch girl Kakarauri. And in the process, I may have gotten pierced by a needle that tried to drag me away only to get saved by hopefully friendly dry bones. So I kinda need to wake up so I don't ya know  GET MURDERED!" I yelled.
But even after I explained how this was a life or death situation he still wouldn't budge.
"Didn't you just say you were with a Dry-Bones? I'm suuuuure they'll keep you safe."
"Oh my gosh- That isn't the point Black Paint! I need to wake up or else the legion could get hurt! I'm worried that whoever threw that needle is going for Colored Pen-"
"Colored Pencils is in danger?" Black Paint said cutting me off.
I nodded, "Colored Pencils wasn't at his usual drawing spot, and no toads where in sight!"
After I finished my sentence I suddenly felt as if I was falling, I stumbled back and before I knew it I woke up on a steel table. "Where in the lost levels I'm I?" I asked myself I looked at the pierce wound only to see it was covered by a metal plate. "Guess that solves one problem..." I said looking around.
"Oh, you're finally awake!"
I looked around searching for the voice. "Up here!" I looked up to see a goomba and the dry bones that helped me.
Now that we were in this lighted-up room I could properly see how the Dry-Bones looked, they had red shoes with yellow brims, 3 spikes on their shell, and 1 on the back of each hand, their right eye was empty with a crack on it. The Goomba had a blue bennie covering their eyes.
