Team Obliteration : The Destruction Cube

Chapter 20

Cassandra's (Axe's) P.O.V.

Axe and Slenderman had both Slender-walked to many places in the building, but so far they had come across nothing.

"I think we should go on foot," said Axe, glancing worriedly at Slenderman. "Aren't you exhausted from teleporting around so much?"

He sighed. "No, I'm not. I guess that I've done it so many times until it's become normal."

They were standing on the beach, but Axe had cast an invisibility spell on the both of them.

"But we should still go on foot," reasoned Axe. "We haven't found anything at all."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Slenderman took her hand, and they both teleported into the building, beginning to walk as they appeared there.

"What if it's not in the building?" asked Axe, worried that they were looking in the wrong place.

"Well..." Slenderman looked thoughtful. "Okay, cast a speed spell on me, and I'll go check some other places."

"Okay then." Axe chanted her spell, and then Slenderman was off.

A few minutes later, Slenderman appeared next to her, panting slightly.

"Checked everywhere else. I don't think there's anything outside this building."

"Okay, let's go." Axe hovered slightly off the floor, and they headed down the corridor.

It soon opened into a wide room with a few doors. They checked the doors, and none of them had anything important except for one, which led off into another corridor.

"I'm getting damn sick of corridors, y'know," said Axe in exasperation as they went through the corridor.

"Indeed," agreed Slenderman. They came to another door, just like every other one.

"If this doesn't lead to something I'm going to murder someone." Axe grabbed the door handle and swung it open.

Inside was a room full of weapons. "Useless," muttered Axe, swinging the door shut.

"Wait," Slenderman stopped her. "There's someone in there."

Axe gave him a questioning look. "No...?"

"Trust me," he said, pushing the door open again. It creaked as he closed it behind him, and they both cringed.

Now that they were inside the room, Axe could see that it was actually quite big, and there was a large array of weapons – even including a Sentinel. One corner of the room was bathed in electric blue and scarlet red light. Slenderman gestured for her to stay quiet, and he neared the source of the light. Axe saw him looking taken aback, and he quickly rushed back to her.

"Scarlet Witch," he explained. "She can't see us, but she'll soon sense us. What do we do now?"

Axe stared at him. "I don't know. Just don't use magic, she can make it backfire on you."

"I know. I remember what happened on the 4th of July." Slenderman looked thoughtful for a moment. "I'll just use my Slender Sickness, I guess."

"No!" hissed Axe, grabbing his wrist. "Isn't that magic?"

"It's not. Trust me." She let his wrist go, and he walked up to Scarlet Witch, standing right in front of her. She was checking her nails and humming a tune to herself, completely oblivious to the invisible Slenderman in front of her.

He crossed his arms and stared straight at Scarlet Witch. Abruptly, she stopped humming. She looked up from her red nails and red sparks danced in between her fingers. She glanced around, her eyebrows furrowed.
