Amber's p.o.v: "Drake!" I Yelled running around looking everywhere for him. "Where is he ?" I  thought to myself out loud as I ran around people trying to leave as fast as they can. That's when one of the squid monsters jumped right in front of me which caught me by surprise causing me to fall down. "Get back!" I screamed at the thing which was pointless since it didn't seem to understand. Then it crawled over to me moving it's tendrils in the creepiest way possible which caused my skin to crawl. To my surprise though the creature was hit by another creature that flew at it knocking both through  a wall.I was confused in till i looked to my right to see Drake standing from where the monster flew in from. "where were you?" I yelled at him which he gave a dumb smile in response to. "What? I told you guys why I came here plus how was I gonna know monsters would show up?"
"That's not important Will and John need our help." I retorted then I ran to where Will was as Drake followed closely behind. However when we got back to Will  we couldn't believe our eyes.

Will's p.o.v : In my rage I ran towards the monster which in hindsight was a horrible idea but as I was running a white light shined on my Hand. Something appeared in place of the light it was .....a sword?
It was a European long sword with a Blue squid face design above the handle. The tentacles on the Squid face went down to the blade which was a bright red color like the red part of a watermelon.

Instinctively I jumped up and slashed at the creature cutting through it's tendrils as well as it's face. To my surprise the cut started to bubble up with steam coming out of it. The only parallel I could think of was a snail or slug being covered in salt. The creature died with a terrible screech which would have normally terrified me but was oddly satisfying. That's when I looked behind me to see Drake and Amber standing there in awe.
"That was amazing!"Amber  said walking up to me then she looked around with a concerned look. "Where's John?" She asked this question which  caused me to avert my gaze from her and look down.
"I-I couldn't......" I trailed off and tears began to form in my eyes then I felt something warm wrap around me.
Amber embraced me in a hug
"Will it's not your fault" even her saying it didn't make me believe it though but I didn't have time to say anything back.
"Yo guys now is not the time to be sad we gotta kill these things first." Drake yelled at us which caused Amber to realise me from her hug.
"You're right with Will's new weird sword we can stop anyone else from dying"
I couldn't help but to be amazed on how strong my friends were here I was barely keeping my composure and yet these two were already jumping to action.
It was incredible there courage was somehow contagious.
"All right let's go!"

Ashe's p.o.v: The upstairs hallway was lit ablaze as I was  narrowly evading Ytrurgu's attacks but he was much faster than Chad originally was. It was as if Chad's speed has been multiplied,his strength as well as the wall  that was hit by one of his punches was knocked down.
I knew I couldn't afford to even get hit ounce by his violet ball of death or I'd end up like those people who turned to dust,hell I couldn't even get hit by a punch or my ribs would shatter like glass. Chad's fist.....no it wasn't Chad's fist anymore nor was it his body... Ytrurgu's fist started to glow violet again which gave me an indication that he was going to throw another death ball so I mentally prepared myself to avoid his attack. To my surprise however he then  lunged towards me at incredible speed and got ready to throw the death ball up close.
"Oh shit" I yelled trying to think of a quick second decision but with less than a second to react I quickly made a fire ball in my  hand then thrusted at Ytrurgu to counter his death ball. Which caused a huge explosion that sent us both flying in opposite directions. I flew into the wall at the end of the hallway knocking down Delanie's hanging family picture frames and  shattering the glass.
I figured Ytrurgu would have fallen down the stairs so I would have more time to recuperate but right as I got up I saw that he was already in front of me.
"You can't defeat me human give up" Ytrugru told me in an annoyingly cocky manner but I wasn't perturbed by at all .
"Words coming from a pathetic body snatcher if you're really that tough then shoot me with one of your death balls and finish me off" I gloated which caused Ytrurgu's stolen face to contort to a furious frown.
"Unless you can't shoot one" I continued "Chad's body isn't strong enough your attack has a recharge if it didn't you would just spam it over and over again,that's why you focussed on trying to punch me to death instead of keeping your distance,well am I right?"
Ytrurgu didn't say anything but his silence was all the answer I needed to prove I was correct which assured my victory. I placed both hands behind me then igniting fire which then  shot me forward straight into the body snatcher kneeing his stolen stomach,in turn  knocking him down. Ounce he fell I put my foot on his chest and pointed my hand directly at his face.
"Ahahahha nice bluff but you wouldn't kill me in this body ,you humans are especially weak,you cry when your people die and you're all so pathetically scared of death or taking a life. If you shoot me you'd be killing the boy as well ,I know it's your species sad nature of being to afraid to kill one of your own. "
He smiled this irritating smile like he had won even though he was the one on the ground it was enough to drive someone mad.
"Then I guess I'm the exception " I said with a smile before igniting the body snatcher causing him to scream in delightful agony as Chad's skin was melting off.
I stared at him proud of my glorious success when I heard a voice echo in my head .
"Very good human you are different after all".
Fear ran up my spine upon hearing that  voice which sounded  like the body snatcher who should be dead.
"Who said that?!" I screamed scanning my surroundings but there was noone in that buring hallway except me.
"Ahaha foolish human you only assumed that killing my host would kill me and what a foolish mistake that was. You only gave me a better host by  seeing you fight I was  shown that there's a better choice. You helped me see  that the human  called Chad's body wasn't good enough to handle my power .........but yours on the the other hand.......it's mine now ".
