'~WARSICK: A Never Ending Battle~' Skephalo Edition-Book 1

IX

Darryl's POV:

I stood behind the stone castle, my hoodie sleeve brushing against the trunk of a crimson tree. Today was the day; the day where we'd defeat Quackity and Jschlatt. Last night, I was replaying the plan in my mind, thinking of the pros and cons of how things could go.

What would happen if someone walked in on us while we were all roping Quackity and Jschlatt up? I shook my head. I shouldn't be worrying, not right now at least. If I worry too much, it could get in the way of our plan.

Ant, Velvet, Nikki, and Jack were behind me. Minx and Sapnap were at the castle with Zak. Zak was still at the Sugar kingdom's castle. I had told the guards that he was there beforehand so he could leave the room and not be seen as an intruder. Minx and Sapnap were just there to protect him.

I looked back at my friends before looking back at the entrance of the Blaze kingdom's castle. "Come on," I said, slowly walking towards the door, the others following close behind me.

We each slipped inside the palace one by one. "Alright, Nikki and Jack go right and Ant, Velvet, and I will go left. Use the walkie-talkies if you guys have any trouble," I say to the group. They all nodded before we split up into two groups.

Nikki's POV:

My heels clinked on the marble floor as I walked slowly through the halls with Jack. We split up in groups so we would have a better chance to find Jschlatt and Quackity. I head my hair in a bun with my blonde bangs to the side in front of my ears. I wore a white mask, a white corset with white arm warmers.

I also had on jeans, a linen belt, and white heels. A rope and duct tape was hinged to the belt. Jack had on a black mask with a white hoodie and jeans. He also had a belt, this time a dagger was attached to it.

As we kept walking, we came across a corridor. Me and Jack would have walked through it, but we heard a voice. A very familiar voice. He and I quickly hid behind the wall.

Jschlatt.

He seemed to be talking to some on the phone since I only heard one voice.

As he approached closer, I took the rope off my belt and spread it out in my hands, getting ready to tie Jschlatt up.

I glanced back at Jack who had his dagger ready in his right hand just in case. As soon as Jschlatt exited the corridor, he noticed us.

Before he had time to react, I quickly jumped on him, his phone flying onto the floor. I wrapped the rope around his torso multiple times before scooting down to tie up his legs. Jschlatt tried to kick at me but quickly stopped as Jack was crouched next to him, staring down at him with the dagger at his throat.

I tied up his legs, knotting the rope. "Nikki! Jack! What are you guys doing here?! Untie me!" Jschlatt exclaimed. Jschlatt continued to scream at us for us to untie him. I unhinged the duct tape from my belt, ripping off a piece of dark gray tape.

I then taped his mouth shut. Muffled yells came from Jschlatt. I got off Jschlatt before saying, "This is what happens when you're disloyal." Jack put his dagger back on his belt before picking Jschlatt up.

Darryl's POV:

We looked around on the left side but found no one. Only a few servants passed but no sign of the kings. I sighed. "They both must be on the right side," I say. "Most likely," Ant said.

I pulled out my walkie-talkie from my pocket before talking into it. "No royals on the left, find anyone on the right?"

I heard Nikki reply a few seconds later. "Yes, we found Jschlatt. He's all tied up now, but we can't find Quackity." "How about we meet in my room. Then we can discuss things there," I suggested. "Alright, sounds good," Nikki said before it went silent.

With that, I led Ant and Velvet up the spiral stairs, to my room. I opened the door to see Nikki and Jack. Jack held Jschlatt's body in his arms. Jschlatt squirmed around and let out muffled screams. I stepped to the side, letting Ant and Velvet enter the room.

When they entered, I walked inside the room behind them, closing the door. "Since we can't find Quackity, how about we make Jschlatt con him over to room 487 which is the room next to us and we can easily capture him too," I said. "Good idea," Nikki said through her mask. "Where is Jschlatt's phone? We can call Quackity and make Jschlatt persuade him over," Ant asked.

"I have it," Nikki said, handing the phone to Ant.

"I grabbed it before we went to Darryl's room," she added. Ant turned on Jschlatt's phone before clicking on Jschlatt's contacts and scrolling through them. Ant stopped on Quackitys contact, looking up at me. "Make him come to room 487," I say, removing the tape from Jschlatt's mouth.

Knowing that room 487 was an office, like room 665, Quackity would pass mine and we could quickly grab him and tie him up from behind. "No! I will not do that! Untie me, Darryl, and once you do that, get out of here!" Jschlatt yelled.

I sighed before Velvet walked next to me. "Listen here, you little shit, you're going to cooperate or I swear to god, I'll have you beheaded right here, right now," Velvet threatened.

His words sent shivers down my spine. Jschlatt was probably just as terrified as I was since Jschlatt immediately apologized, agreeing to get Quackity to come to room 487.

I looked back at Ant who had clicked on Quackitys contact and called him. The phone was currently ringing, till it answered. "Hello?" I heard Quackity say. Ant put the phone to Jschlatt.

"Hey, . . . um, c—can you come to room 487? It's important," Jschlatt said, trying not to stutter in fear. "Uh, okay, . . . I'll be there in ten minutes," Quackity responded before hanging up.

Nikki put the tape back on Jschlatt's mouth as Ant turned Jschlatt's phone off, putting it in his pocket.

We stood there waiting for what felt like hours until I heard footsteps down the hall, heading towards our direction. I peeked out the door crack to see Quackity. Perfect.

As soon as he passed, I slowly opened the door, unraveling the rope I had before swooping it over Quackitys head and around his stomach, pulling him back towards me. He screamed and yelled as I quickly tied him up.

Nikki handed me a piece of duct tape before I slapped it on Quackitys mouth. "Shut up," I growled, turning Quackity over to face me.

He let out muffled yells and screams, especially when he saw that Jschlatt was also tied up and in Jack's hands. I picked Quackity up and slung him over my shoulder before walking out of the room, signaling for the others to follow me.

I walked to the dungeon where Quackity and Jschlatt formerly had put Zak in and tormented him with tools. Just thinking of it made me angry. Nikki, Ant, and Velvet stood at the entrance of the dungeon as me and Jack walked down the creaky wooden steps with Jschlatt and Quackity.

When I got to the bottom of the steps, I threw Quackity down on the cold concrete floor, Jack following my actions. "We'll deal with you two later," I growled.

I didn't have the heart to do the same things Jschlatt and Quackity did to Zak but I did have the heart to punish them for their actions. This time, they wouldn't end up like Zak and getting out.

They would stay there forever.
