The Night We Fell Apart

CHAPTER 16: ALL IS LOST

The teams had a staredown with each not one person letting the glare seem too weak to the other. Silas, Atlas, and Carter stared at each other. Neither of them intended to talk, but with the intent of fighting for their lives. "LETS FI-" Butch had been cut off by Flip. "Shut the hell up." He said with force. "This is a setup." Hope inferred. "Look, why else would they change the dungeon like this." He said, crossing his arm into the other. Everyone looked around and, after a while, let off a sigh of relief. "So what should we do now?" Shawn said, sitting on a rock, relaxing. "First, we take out the cameras. Wind, Mike, and Key, I need you guys to take them out, please?" Hope asked politely. They nodded, went into each corner, stood there for a moment, and began to charge an energy blast.

''Wait a minute?!" Liev said in a panic. "WHY ARE THEY ABOUT TO SHOOT A BLAST AT THE CAMERAS!?" Liev yelled, falling out of his chair. "WHAT THE HELL?!" Fire jumped and watched as Mike, Key, and Wind removed the cameras. Fire was about to burst with rage. "DAMNIT!" He yelled, sending off a massive wave of energy. He started throwing things around the control room as Liev tried to calm him down.

Wind, Mike, and Key threw the cameras down to the ground and crushed them. "Now that we have gotten that out the way," Hope said. "We need to find a way out of here." He said. Everyone began to look for an exit to get out. "Shit!" Yelled Frost. "We will never have a way out of here!" He said, putting his back against the wall. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He pulled one out with his lighter, lit it, and started to smoke. Atlas used his Numen and began a deeper search of how to get out. After a couple of hours of searching, Atlas exclaimed, "I think I found a way out!" Everyone jumped with joy. Atlas revealed a secret passage. "This should lead us to the control room!" He exclaimed. Excited, everyone started to grab their stuff as the room began to cave in. "AHHHHHH!" Everyone yelled as they began to run toward the passage. Silas stood at the entrance to the passage yelling, "GO GO GO!" Wind had stopped running and smiled. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GO!" Red exclaimed. Wind walked over to him and touched his face. The room was almost compact. Silas, Wind, and Red were the only ones left. "I am sorry." Wind said, tearing up, but you have to go. Red had begun to cry as he gently grabbed her face and planted a kiss on her lips. Their lips broke away, and she flung him with her wind into Silas' arms and said, "Please take care of him." She said. The room caved in. Silas ran with Red in his arms as the passage door shut behind them. Red had screamed from the top of his lungs, '"WIND NOOOO!" Wind had been crushed by the room.

In shock by what just happened, the group began to mourn the loss of a fellow friend. Liev and Fire walked in with giant, menacing smiles on their faces. "Well, did someone host a funeral?" Fire laughed hysterically. Red turned around, infuriated, and exclaimed, "YOU DID THIS, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Red ran toward Fire with tears in his eyes. Liev stepped in the way a did a counter slamming Red into the ground, rendering him unconscious. "I see you guys have gotten past the last to" Fire was interrupted by two figures standing at the doorway. "You won't get away this time, Flint the Shadow King!" Lance said, standing beside Sly. They had made their way out of the fire pit. A shocked look overcame Silas's face as he stood there frozen.Hysterical laughing came from Fire. "I guess you guys have figured me out," Flint said, inching closer toward the group. He slowly charged a mini-wave of dark energy in his finger. It grew in size as Silas snapped out of it and began to yell, "GUYS, GET BEHIND ME!" The group gathered around Silas. "Well, now I guess you have to D I E now AHAHAHAH!" Flint said, releasing the mini-wave of energy. The group held on together. "D I E!" He screamed.A large explosion had emerged.
