***Dwarfs' Mine - Interior***

C.C. POV:

"We got the magestone! Now let's get outta here!" Grim exclaims. "Roger that!" Ace exclaims. "MYYY STOOOOOOONE!" the monster grumbles.

***Dwarfs' Mine - Silent Woods***

"Are you kiddin' me?! It's still coming! It pushed off all that weight!" Ace exclaims in surprise. "Ooooooooogh...! Giiive it baaaaack...!" the monster growls. "It's too fast! It's about to catch us!" Deuce exclaims in fear. "Then it's kill or be killed!" Bubba exclaims. "Aw, fine! Let's just smash the thing. Try not to wet yourself, Deucey!" Ace exclaims. "Same to you, Ace!" Deuce exclaims in return. "I'm gonna show ya why they call me Grim the Great!" Grim exclaims as they head into battle. They take turns striking with magic according to Bubba's instruction. When the monster was finally weakened to the point of being defeated the group started to retreat and leave with the stone while me and Fredbear finished the monster off.

***Dwarfs' Mine - Silent Woods***

I run out of the Mine with Fredbear and I see the group taking a rest, Deuce panting and the others assessing other things. "Is it... over?" Ace asks. "I think... we won? I think we did it!" Grim exclaims. "All right!" Deuce exclaims. "Woohoo!" Ace cheers in victory. "Gimme a victory high-five!" Grim exclaims happily. "Yeeeah!" Ace, Deuce, and Grim exclaim in happiness. "Shared adversity sure brings people together, huh?" Bubba asks. "Uh... I don't think that had anything to do with it." Deuce states. "Yeah! Spare us the clichés, Yuu!" Ace exclaims in agreement while Bubba looks at them with the 'you have got to be kidding me' eyes.

"There's no "together" here! We won 'cause of me! This is all from me bein' a magical genius!" Grim exclaims. "Y'know... I hate to admit it, but... We mostly won because of your plan." Ace says. "Yeah... if you hadn't managed to keep your cool and tell us all what to do, we never would have got this magestone. Now I won't get expelled. And wow, is THAT a relief!" Deuce exclaims. "We won because we all worked together." Bubba states. "Yeah, yeah, lessons were learned, et cetera. Can we just go home already? I'm wiped." Ace whines. "Usin' all that magic made me hungry! Huh? What's this?" Grim asks while picking up a black stone.

"Is that a part of the monster we just beat? It looks like... a magestone? But it's black as coal! I've never seen one like that before." Deuce says in awe. "What IS this? It smells amazing!" Grim exclaims after sniffing the stone. "Are you insane?" Ace asks. "Must be some kinda fancy monster candy that it was hidin' from us! If this tastes half as good as it smells... *Chomp*" Grim says before eating the stone. "Spit it out! Out! Bad cat!" Bubba exclaims, partly angry, partly worried. "MYAAAH!" Grim exclaims. "Are you okay?!" Deuce exclaims in worry. "That's what you get for eating trash!" Ace exclaims.

"Oooooogh... Urrrgggh... That... was AMAZING!" Grim exclaims happily. "What?!" Ace and Deuce exclaim in surprise. "Rich in flavor and full-bodied... Like sweet, fragrant flowers burstin' into bloom on my tongue. A whole field of 'em! Right in my mouth!" Grim explains happily. "Gross. Monsters must have real weird tastes." Ace comments. "You might be onto something there...Most humans don't take random stuff they find on the ground and just pop it into their mouths." Deuce states. I look over at Bubba and give him the 'you better punish him for that' look, and Bubba simply nods in return, not minding my wounds since he knows I won't die twice.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Bubba asks Grim. "Myah ha ha ha! Man, was that great! Don't worry about me. I don't got a weak stomach like you humans do." Grim boasts. "Hmph. We'll see if you're so smug when you're sick later tonight." Ace states. "Okay, let's pull ourselves together. We need to get this magestone to the headmage!" Deuce exclaims before leading the group back to school. I can't help but look around, spotting what looked to be three people, two males and a female, before rubbing my eyes and seeing nothing. I guess I got some more brain damage.
