I must get to 🅱 and Lyrelle before it's too late! Daepi thought. She kept a good hold of the stomach while the beast was shaking rowdily. The holes in the stomach were being patched as well as the knife was trying to be patched by stomach as well. The stomach was slowly compressing. She lifted her knife in reflex and moved it ahead of her current position. She took a few steps forward and then displaced the knife again. The process repeated quickly and dangerously, up until, she found something. It was a cylindrical and disturbing pink shape connected to the stomach. This must be the throat, she thought.
She picked up her knife and attempted to cut it open. She was shaken back and the knife only scratched the surface of the esophagus. The small cut rapidly healed. Dang Shaggy, why did you unfreeze time? She stabbed herself back into her desires position. After that, she lifted the knife off the hold, switched the knife from one hand to the other, tucked her free hand into the small stomach slot, and sliced a hole into the throat. Switching hands was a classic trick that not many people knew how to do. She jumped partway into the hole. She slipped so that the upper half of her was in the throat, while the bottom half of her was still in the flesh. The coat of the esophagus started to cover up Daepi's legs, but she spread them wide and resisted.
"I can't resist the repairs for much longer. Please, come with me." Daepi demanded. Lyrelle gave her foot to Daepi so she could grab it. Daepi grabbed it with her free hand. Lyrelle grabbed on to 🅱, and Daepi pulled. It was getting harder to resist the repairing cells, as well as maintain her grip on Lyrelle, so she bent down and used her knife. Her bending down took lots of effort due to Lyrelle and 🅱 being forced into a void. Not letting go was the hardest for her.
"Lyrelle! Bend down and grab on to me. B, grab on to Lyrelle! I'm partway through escape!" Daepi ordered. Daepi's legs are out of the throat. Then Lyrelle and 🅱 grabbed on. Daepi planted her legs firmly on some flesh. She bent them down for added strength. She thrusted herself out of the throat, then she pulled Lyrelle out. 🅱 was also coming out, slowly and steadily. Finally, 🅱 came out, and Daepi slipped and fell. Lyrelle and 🅱 fell on top of her. Then, the trembling and shaking stopped. Time was frozen again. Whew. The three got up, leaving Daepi on the bottom for a longer period of time. They started to walk, and 🅱 took the lead.
"In order to get to the lungs, we have to go around the stomach." 🅱 stated as his artifact glowed. He headed around the stomach, digging up flesh as he made a trail. He kept on burrowing through flesh, but Daepi and Lyrelle felt somewhat nauseated. At last they finally reached the lung. "Daepi, it's your turn." he said.
Daepi stepped ahead of the two and grabbed her knife. She tried to stab the lung but she couldn't.
"Lyrelle! Give us your weapon!" 🅱 ordered. Lyrelle gave him the weapon and he fired a few shots. The lung bursted open.
"Daepi, the knife!"
Daepi gave 🅱 the knife. 🅱 stabbed the lungs in specific areas.
"Daepi, Lyrelle, get behind the lung!"
They did, they were also waiting for their next order. After that, they were confused as to why they were behind the lung. Maybe it was because they were supposed to attack that part of the lung?
"Grab onto the back of the lung! Daepi, left, Lyrelle, right!"
They did exactly what they were told. Now, what was 🅱 planning?
"Pull them!"
They pulled! 🅱 used the knife to easily slice the rest of it, and now the lung was split. Daepi and Lyrelle fell, collapsed. 🅱 approached each of the halves and sliced them up. They were sliced into a million pieces before they became smithereens of useless tissue.
"Come on, let's get out of here." he demanded. He got out and the others followed. They walked back into the throat and walked through the corridor. After that, 🅱 opened up the jaw and they slid out. They came out, two of them nauseated, the other victorious, as the rest of the group smiled at the lucky few.
"I'm assuming it's time for you to unfreeze, Shaggy?" Nora inquired.
"Oh yes! Sorry about all the events that happened! Nora just needed to send a signal..." Shaggy replied.
He unfroze time. The monster behind the three fell lax and collapsed onto the ground. It made a loud crashing sound as the enormous beast fell. Everyone looked at it in shock. It was dead.
Lyrelle and Kuro were the most shocked, as they have never seen a dead Apsirum before. They were surprised that the same type of monster that killed their family was dead. This was victory unimagined. This made their eyes wide in shock as they witnessed a casualty of their enemies.
Triumph was here. This whole war was finally over.
