INSURGENCY 3: Dimensions Will Break Through Part 1

Chapter 17: Coal Heart and Darkest Soul Part 1

In the Darkness Civilization, Miele wandered around the large caves, totally afraid. She had her arms close to her body, a frightened expression on her face. When she walked into an a cave area, she found a bunch of treasure chests scattered all over the floor. The chests were dull, dark blue with dull, greenish blue edges with spikes running along the top. The lock looks like a skull with orange angry eyes with a ring attached to the lower jaw. She slowly approached it. As she was about to open it, the chests spontaneously opened, revealing red velvet inside, a dull, purple, clawed right arm and a dull, purple indigo skeletonal left arm. Miele backed into a wall, trembling in fear. She lowered down crying, afraid that she would never get to go home.

Back on Earth, Seth and Jack were in the restroom in their apartment; Jack was taking a shower while Seth was brushing his teeth. Jack was humming a catchy song, at least to him. Out of nowhere, Seth went in the shower naked. "Oh shit. Puddin, you scared me," said Jack, wrapping his hands behind the other's neck. "Sorry baby, I didn't mean to scare you," said Seth, low and seductive as he wrapped his arms around Jack's waist. "You look so beautiful," stated Seth, leaning for a kiss. In the living room, the rest of the gang were thinking of a way to get Miele back. "Anything!" shouted Harry. "Nothing," stated Dinah. "Don't worry, babe. We'll get her back," comforting Gil. Soon, Seth and Jack came. Seth was behind Jack with his arms around him and his head on the other's shoulder. "Hey, so how's it going?" asked Jack. "We got nothing, and Miele is still in danger," exclaimed Harry, pacing back and forth. "Why don't we ask Paul to take us to the Darkness Realm?" asked Seth. "Why didn't we think of that?!" asked Harry. "Babe, look at me. Calm down," said Gil before he kissed the other delicately. Harry calmed down and laid his head on Gil's shoulder. "Thanks babe," he said, almost in a whisper.

At the temple, Harry, Gil, Raven, Jack and Darcy were following Paul to his chamber. They had to walk down a long flight of stairs just to reach it. The room was voodoo styled, and it had very little light. "So, we need to know where this Miele girl is," said Paul. Then, he summoned a Darkness creature. It was upside down, had a skeleton appearance, and had a very pale purple-white color. The body and head with part of its left eye was wrapped in bandages. The fingers were fused together, the arms were crossed like a mummy and there were some long nails stuck to its head. "Find anything, Ghost Spy?" asked Paul. "I heard that there is a human girl in a cave chamber deep within the Darkness Civilization," said Ghost Spy in a creepy, raspy voice. "Thank you for the information," said Paul. Soon, Ghost Spy vanished into the shadows. Paul opened a portal to the Darkness Civilization. "Time to go to hell," stated Darcy. "Y-Yeah," said Jack. He was shocked at that statement because he was Catholic. They walked through the portal, and they saw something that was unlike the other Civilizations.

In the Darkness Realm, everything was dark, in caves, caverns, and tunnels, and it was completely underground. "It's so dark. I can barely see my own hand," said Gil. "It has to be dark otherwise the Darkness creatures wouldn't exist," said Darcy. "So how are we supposed to find my little sister?" asked Harry. "Locomotivator of Bleak Trestle!" shouted Darcy. A train-like creature appeared, appearing like a some type of skeleton. Its 'body' was a blood red colored multiple unit and lower engine. The upper half of the engine was lavender, had a skull look to it, and two, huge, gold auger bit drills that point forward. The nose was a light red headlight. "All aboard the Voyager of the Doomed," joked Paul. They climbed into the engine and headed to the area where Miele was last seen. "I hope we get to find her," said Harry. "Harry, we're going to get her back. No matter what happens, no matter what obstacle we face, we will get her back," said Raven.

At the hideout, Freddie passed Draco's office when she heard him and Seneschal talking. "There is no sign of the Shield of Unity anywhere. We do suspect that someone took it," said Seneschal. "Hmm, I see. We must find so we can complete our plan," said Draco. "That's all I needed to hear," she said, walking away. "If I could get that shield, then I will be redeemed as his right-hand woman." She headed to the portal room, and summoned Razorkinder Puppet. The creature did the demonic head spin and cackled. Then, she typed in the location of the Darkness Realm and opened the portal. "Come, Razorkinder. Time for a trip to your home," she said. She ran through the portal, followed by the puppet who had its arms flying behind it like they were lifeless.

Back on Locomotivator, the team still traveled through the caves. "How much further?" asked Harry, getting inpatient. "We should be halfway there," said Paul. "Hey Gil, remember when we kept distracting people for doing their jobs?" asked Jack. "Oh yeah. You kept messing with them even though they told you stop," laughed Gil. "Good times. Horrible but good times," replied Jack. Then, they heard a stomping noise. The ground was literally shaking a little. "What's that?" asked Raven. They all turned and saw a grayish green giant with red blocky marks. The head was small compared to its strong, muscular body. Its eyes were light blue. The shoulders and forearms had wooden/stone-like spikes protruding out. "Earthstomp Giant!" shouted Paul. "Quick, summon your creatures! Blackfeather of Shadow Abyss!" A hooded, skeletonal creature came out of a portal. The head had a snout, a large horn on the forehead, and two horns on the side. The body is covered in a dark purple indigo color cloak with the hood on behind the large horn. The bony hands were visible though. The others summoned their creatures, but Darcy was running low on mana because she summoned Locomotivator which needed a lot of mana. "Marrow Ooze, skull blast," said Darcy. "Essence Elf, plant toxins," said Jack. "Scaradorable, bat breath," said Raven. "Jackalax, claw slash," said Gil. "Nomulos, water pulse," said Harry. "Blackfeather, curse-eye," said Paul. Elf blew toxins in Earthstomp's eyes, making it slow down. While Marrow Ooze launched skulls, Scaradorable spew out bats. Then, Nomulos slashed its sword, sending out a light blue energy wave and Jackalax slashed the giant's legs. Earthstomp kneeled to the ground, and Blackfeather sent out a blast of purple rays from its eyes to deliver the final blow. The Nature creature vanished, and the gang had a small celebration. Soon, they were interrupted by a rumble in the walls. "What's that?" asked Raven. Then, a giant dark green worm-like creature came out of the wall. "What is that?" asked Gil. "Venom Worm," said Paul. Venom Worm was dark green with a dark red tinted bronze underside. The head had to stubs that went from dark green to red, four silver horns on its jaw, small hair on the lower jaw, razor sharp teeth, and jaws with sharp teeth for eyes. Along the sides of its body were holes. "To hell with the trouble we're in," said Harry. Venom Worm lunged at Locomotivator and started to eat it whole from the back. "Guys jump!" shouted Darcy. As everyone did so, Venom Worm gulped down more of Locomotivator and both vanished. "Well that's just great, isn't it?" angrily asked Harry. "Now how are we gonna find Miele?" "We still have our creatures. And we know where she is. We could just continue on foot," said Paul. "Yeah, and if I could summon another creature, I would lose more mana," stated Darcy. Raven, Paul, and Jack climbed onto Scaradorable, Darcy climbed onto Marrow Ooze, and Harry and Gil climbed onto Nomulos. They rode their creatures for the entire way.
