The Eighth Hero

Chapter 13

By the way I'm gonna change the story a bit. They can use the powers when they get there amulets but won't be at full power if they don't have them all. I would recommend playing the music now.

Third person

There they were. The temple in front of them. Inside would be the first real battle they would have. Though it would be hard the prize would be worth it. A person.......and something more.

I breathed in. This was it. We were going to find out who our third partner is. Sky stared and then, after awhile, looked at me."Ready?" He asked. I sighed. "As ready as I'll ever be"Then we walked in.

                                                                                                    ~ Time Skip ~

We had walked down some stairs when we got in and now we're in some golden old looking room. There's nothing else. "This can't be it" Sky said. "There has to be something!" He started looking around trying to find some clue.

While I was watching, something caught my eye. I turned and saw a small lever. I pulled it and waited. Nothing. "Well that did absolutely nothing!" I yelled kicking the ground. I started searching with Sky when he paused. His head shot up and he looked around wildly. "Did you hear that" he said. I looked at him worriedly. "Sky, I think your losing it" When I said this I started hearing rumbling. Then the floor dropped.

We went tumbling down. I heard Sky screaming, or was that me? I don't really remember. We were toppling down and down until we fell into some water. I started swimming up, when I felt something grab my foot. I looked down to see Sky pointing at something at the bottom. A door! We swam toward it, opening it quickly. We gasped for air as the door closed itself, not letting the water get in. I looked around. We were in a ballroom looking place, with a cell on the left.

Sky walked toward it, hearing movement. I heard a voice say Sky from inside the cell. "Get me out you idiot" The voice yelled. I walked toward it to see Sky saying terrible Mad Max puns to a very mad looking Max. Max was about to yell something when fear took over his face. Sky stopped, looking surprised. "Do I really scare you?" Max rolled his eyes and pointed behind us. We turned around to see a woman in a black dress with a black veil.

She started to walk toward us, lifting her veil. We stood still, watching, waiting. She lifted it and her eyes were black soulless holes. She lifted her arm and smiled. Her voice was haunting. "Goodbye" and shot a black flame at us. Sky and I dove away from the beam, covering our heads. I looked back to see Max standing on the ruble looking pissed. Then he ran at her. He went to punch her when she dove away, hitting him straight on with a beam.

"HEY" I heard a voice yell. I turned to see Sky on the other side, waving his hands. "COME GET ME!" She started shooting beams at Sky. He swiftly ran away, around the room. Then, she started shooting infront of him.He jumped over one and under another.
"Your aim's so bad you'd think you'd be blind. Perhaps because of your lack of eyes?" Sky yelled running again. "He's so stupid" I heard Max mumble. I ran to him, grabbing his arm and ran to a hallway. We ran from hall to hall, trying to find something to help Sky. "Hey, what's that" Max yelled. I turned to see a room with a necklace with a wind symbol on it. An amulet!

I grabbed it, running back to Sky. Max quickly followed. We came back to see Sky pinned in a corner, the woman about to kill him. "Sky catch!" I yelled throwing the amulet. When it collided with his hand, swirls of wind came around him. His eyes turned white and he gasped, falling to the ground.

After an excruciatingly long wait he rose, amulet around his neck, and smiled wickedly. Then, he blasted forward by a gust of wind, crashing into the woman. She fell backward, shooting black fire at him. He deflected each one with a shield made out of pure wind. Silver spheres of wind formed in his hands as he threw them at her.

He had some look in his eyes. Like he new exactly what he was doing. Like he was sure he would win. Like he was someone else. I saw a explosion of black and turned to see the woman covered in her black fire. The woman started running toward him, Sky doing the same. Sky's eyes became white again, forming the same orb as the woman had except made of wind. They crashed head on, the woman falling, and Sky landing on his feet.

The woman sprang up forming a dark sword. Sky started running toward us when she hit him with it hard. He kept running toward us though he was bleeding, badly. The woman smirked and was blasted by Sky. "That doesn't look good" Max said from behind me.

"Come on!" Sky yelled, running toward the door we first entered through. Max and I started running after him. When we reached him, he grabbed our arms and propelled himself with a cannon of wind into the water. I heard a screech behind us. I looked back to see the water turning black. The woman's face came threw it, outrage in her sneer. Right when it would reach us, we cannoned out of the temple. She was about to follow us when she hit some sort of force field, sending her plummeting back to the water. I looked up to say thanks when I saw Sky's position. He was looking pretty pale and was sweating. "Sorry guys" He said fainting and fell from the sky.
