Primal Outcasts

Chapter 8: Operation: Breakout shall commence

After meeting with Koi once again after that offer to sneak in undetected. Can they really trust Koi to keep his word? Kuma and Amy agreed to give it a shot since it's their only best or worse idea at the moment

The nightfall comes in as the sky is full with some clouds with a full moon shining down throughout the coliseum, closed for the day. With torches being lit on throughout the coliseum with guards. But as Kuma and Amy sneaked back  to the sewers, back to that previously locked door as they still see its unguarded door open slightly.

"Huh, I guess that ape wasn't lying." Kuma said as Koi appeared behind them in the shadow.

"Of course. I wouldn't lie. You do your end of the deal and I'll deal with the rest." Koi explained as he poked Kuma's nose.

"Gah seriously? How do you always appear and disappear like that without a trace? There is no other door!" Amy said.

"You have your secrets and I have mine, dear." Koi said as he chuckled and walked to the door. "Shall we?"

"Finneee but if it's a trap, koi. Then I'll..." Kuma grumbled as he and Amy followed Koi.

"You're probably walking in traps here anyway so better watch out." Koi said as they walked through the alleyway of the labyrinth, being lit up by lamps as they progressed throughout the hallway until they saw a few separate paths to different rooms.

"Now which way do we go? This place is like a maze." Kuma asked as he looked at the 3 ways, looking the same to him.

"Go straight to the prisoner's room. I'm sure that's your business there. At this point, I have to get what I want from Darkan before he notices me. Good luck. If you're still alive. Toodles!" Koi said as he waved his hands goodbye.

"Wait, do we need to- and he's gone... geez I swear he's something else" Amy said.

"Whatever his business is. I'm sure it won't include our business as well." Kuma said as he pointed his finger at the middle way of the tunnel. "He did say it is this way to the prisoner room."

As the Koi and others separated into different pathways, Koi quickly sneaked through the rooms as if he knew the place until he reached the throne room. The place is wide, filled with a skull theme with multiple columns, supporting the entire room with a fireplace behind the giant stone chair and a table with a small chest next to it. The waterfall is pouring behind the throne chair.

"No one here? Perhaps this will be easier than I thought. That chimera and human will provide a nice distraction to that old coot. Well if they're caught but not my problem. Though I have to say this place looks too fancy as usual. Bet that old coot didn't even bother putting in new traps." Koi snickered as he got close to the small chest picked it up and examined it.

"Dumb old coot!" Koi snickered as he put the small chest in his bag. "Well about time, I leave!"

"Mmm?" Koi noticed a shadow creeping toward him as Koi swung his arm, throwing the water out of his water bottle, manipulating the water into a scythe as it slashed the shadow into two, disappearing it. "Well if it isn't a fancy "King" himself gracing me with his presence."

The attacker comes through the entrance, revealing a large being with a skull mask, wearing a green vest and black shirt underneath with a cane on his right hand. It is Lord Darkan himself.

The goat lord himself, quickly closed the distance toward the Koi, pointing the sharp end of his cane toward the Koi's face, stopping himself before it touched Koi's face. "So what will it be, Koi? Fight or flee from this old coot?"

"Mmmmm...." Koi mumbled as he saw an unattended water jar in close distance he grabbed the cane and manipulated the water, splashing it at the goat's face Koi jumped over the Goat, heading to the exit. "Definitely flee! Hahaha!"
