The City of Darkness

XLIII: Hardcore Parkour

"OH GAWD WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!!" Shard said. Leah rolled her eyes. The group of four was rapidly falling through a large hole in the floor to who knows what. Debris, floor tiles, and chunks of rock were falling beside them. Meanwhile, Kaizen, Lxve, Sky, and Alice II were on their way down to them, flipping and flying off of falling debris.

Sky grabbed Kaizen and threw him into a rock that he flipped off of, followed by landing his legs on the walls of the hole and and corkscrewing down to Pierce, then slowing the descent by using his fire powers to create flaming wings on his back. He grabbed Pierce and floated in midair.

Alice II spun in the air, then used her scythe to create winds by spinning that. The winds allowed her to easily hop through rocks and flip off of floor tiles, so she did just that and with a final leap, gained enough speed to catch Leah.

Sky did front flips and back flips, soon landing on a spinning rock upside down. She put her hands on the rock and blasted her energy upwards, causing the rock to explode and her body to fall towards King, who she caught once she came into the distance.

Lxve merely kicked and blasted rocks with her metal powers, then corkscrewed to gain speed after, she boosted her flight speed and grabbed Shard's arm.

"Is everyone safe?" Leah said.

"Sorta..my stomach isn't.." Shard mumbled.

"I'm glad we got everyone." Lxve said. "Now let's see what's at the bottom of this chasm thing."

"Please please please don't be spikes.."

__________________________

"Shard, open your eyes." Sky said. "There's no spikes."

Shard opened his eyes and looked around. There was an abundance of flowers and trees surrounding them. How could these be down there? How long have they been falling?

"Umm, I'm pretty sure someone's here." Alice II said.

"How do you know?" Lxve said.

"Well, how do you think these plants grew so vibrantly?" It was true. The plants were glowing a green white color, and it couldn't have possibly grown naturally. "Let's find them." The heroes walked through the corridor of plants, until finally coming into a coliseum like room. It was dimly lit with light brown walls and graffiti in ancient text. Plants and dirt caked the floor and the walls were old and mangy.

"This is strange..where are we?" Shard said.

"In a place you shouldn't be!" Said a voice from the stairs of the coliseum. Everyone looked over at the man in the seats. Red hair, a small scar on his head, a black jacket, and a muscle toned body. Clearly this guy wasn't playing around. Also, King sensed his power, and stepped back in shock.

"My name is Draco." The man said. "I am a Demigod!"

"Demigod?!" Leah said. A demigod is a being that was birthed by a god and another species.

A lot more on that soon. Trust me it's more detailed later

"Yes. And you're on my property! So I suggest you leave or die!" Draco yelled.

"I'm not leaving." Shard said. His sword drawn for battle. "So if you want to kill me, you'll have to beat me first!" With a smile on both of their lips, Draco and Shard locked eyes, ready for battle.

"Then let's get started!!!!"

Next time: Shard, Lxve, Alice II, Sky, Pierce, Kaizen, King, and Leah vs. Draco!!
