Three Chances

Chapter 3:Power On

Since they were going to the West from the East, it took twice as long to arrive at the border of the West. Before it was in sight, Shadowgun and Ghost debated about things that Satan could have had in mind for them. Ghost imagined that he had newborn quadruplets that needed to be possessed. He also imagined that there could've been an incident in one of the sections and Satan didn't know who's section it was. Shadowgun, however, had other views. One of them was that their old pet, Cerberus, the three-headed demon dog, had gotten out and started spreading chaos around Hell. Eventually, they dismissed the theories as they arrived at the border of the West. They stopped as there was a big light blue dome-like barrier that covered the entire West section. It could be walked through, but common sense told them that it wasn't as easy as just going past it and continuing on. So Shadowgun pulled a clever test by having Ghost grab a piece of the ground and throwing it into the area. After about half a second, the rock was pinned to the ground by about 8 long swords with no delay. Ghost looked around as he thought of a plan because he was fast enough to barely dodge the swords as long as he didn't miss a portal or slow down at all. So for Shadowgun to have to get his motorcycle through that? Seemed like it was impossible. But Shadowgun apparently didn't think so.

"Yo, Ghost." Shadowgun had turned away from the barrier on his chopper. Ghost looked at him with slight curiosity."Yea?" "Follow me. I got an idea." Ghost did as told and followed Shadowgun as he drove back into the East and made a U-turn back towards the West and drove as fast as possible. Now, Ghost looked more worried than curious."What exactly does this plan involve?" Shadowgun looked over to his side at Ghost, who was vanishing and reappearing within his portals."If you haven't noticed, the swords take time to respawn. About half a second." "So what does that mean for us?" Ghost's reply was impatient as they traveled closer and closer to the barrier. Shadowgun made it as clear as possible to Ghost."I'll go in front. Stay right behind me so that the knives will miss us both. Don't stop, slow down, or get out of line. Because something tells me that these swords won't let us up if they get us down."

Ghost gained a small smirk as he nodded and got behind Shadowgun right before they passed the barrier. Swords flew at them from every direction, but none hit Ghost. Shadowgun, on the other hand, got cut multiple times, none of which drew much blood. The swords also seemed to be aiming for his chopper, which was a problem because if they took out his copper, Ghost would run into the back of it, which wouldn't end well for Shadowgun or Ghost. So Shadowgun was drifting and swerving around spikes of ground in their path to avoid being hit. After about five minutes of this, the swords stopped firing on them. As they were relieved,they continued on until they made it to another temple, which seemed to be made of blue stone. When they arrived, another tall man stood before them in front of the temple. He had a dress shirt and tie that were both loosened as if he had been in a fight, a blue pin striped jacket that looked like some kind of mother board, a dark blue energetic mask, seemingly connected to his face, with a plus and minus button on the side, blue hair that was the length of Shadowgun's, and black jeans. He was also as tall as Shadowgun and Ghost, and had blue eyes, a bit darker than Shadowgun's. As he stepped forward, Shadowgun and Ghost stepped up to meet him halfway.

"Lostit." Ghost spoke with a bit of happiness in his voice."The one and only, little brother. And Shadowgun too? I can only assume that Satan got into some more bullshit, as per usual." Shadowgun smiled a bit at Lostit's assumption."That's what I'm guessing. He wants us. All of us." Lostit's eyebrows arched as he nodded and looked at Shadowgun's copper."I'll fix that up for you. Then we can head to the South." Lostit's hands became wrapped in light blue strings that connected themselves to his wrists like knuckle gloves. A blue visor appeared in front of his eyes as he started pulling and twisting things on Shadowgun's copper. As he did, Shadowgun started wrapping some of his wounds with bandages he kept on himself in case of a situation like this one. After about 15 minutes, Lostit got up and stretched."She's good to go. Now let's roll." Lostit teleported to Ghost's side and continued to do so in a running motion, given the fact that when he came in contact with the ground, he teleported forward in a flash of blue lines, similar to Ghost's mode of transportation. Shadowgun got on his chopper, and without much conversation, they all headed towards the farthest section of Hell, the South.
