ctavius and Jedediah walked silently, side by side, through the dark, seemingly endless abyss. All around them, they could hear noises. Whispering, screaming, yelling, and robotic voices. Octavius felt Jedediah grab his wrist.

" Do ya know where the heck we are?" He asked.

" No. I do not. " Octavius replied.

" Then, do ya know if we're goin' the right way? "

" No. I do not even know if anyway is the right way. "

They walked a little farther. With each step, Octavius began to worry more and more.

What if we are lost? What if we are going the wrong way? Where are we even?

" I don't like this. " Jedediah said. Octavius nodded his agreement.

Out of nowhere, a cloud of blueish-gray smoke appeared. Octavius watched in horror as...oh no...Khamunrah walked out.

" Hello little friends. We're going to have so much fun together. " He said with an evil grin. He reached out his hands to try to grasp the two miniatures.

Octavius knew he had to act fast.

" Run! " He cried and grabbed Jedediah"s shirt sleeve. The two ran as fast as they could, but Khamunrah was gaining. Octavius stole a glance over his shoulder and saw that Khamunrah was getting closer. He also saw that Khamunrah looked...smaller. Jedediah also looked over his shoulder, and saw the same thing.

" Is it just me or,...or did Khamunrah...shrink? " He asked between gasps.

" Perhaps...we just...grew! " Octavius told him. When he looked in front of him again, he had to stop himself fast to avoid slamming straight into a wall.

Octavius looked to his left. To his amazement, and relief, there was door!

" Jedediah! There is a door! Come on! " He shouted excitedly. But his excitement was short-lived. For out of the shadows came three, domed-shaped, metal monsters. They had a plunger, and what looked like a whisk, for arms. Octavius also noticed that they had a telescope on the top of their domes.

That must be how they see. Octavius thought. No escape that way. He looked to his right. Three more of the monsters were closing in. In panic, Octavius realized there was no escape. Apparently, Jedediah had noticed also.

" Gosh darn it! " He shouted. " Stuck between a rock and a hard place!"

Octavius gave Jedediah a look of disbelief. Even in theses circumstances, he still cracked jokes!

The metal monsters were closing in. Jedediah and Octavius took a few steps backwards, and found themselves pressed up against the wall. They were surrounded on all sides by the metal beasts who, oddly enough, were shorter than Octavius would have thought. Behind the monsters, they heard clapping.

" Very nice. VERY nice. " Khamunrah said, walking into the center of the circle. " It seems you've reached the end of the line. "

" Ha! " Jedediah mocked. " Ya think i'm afraid of your metal beasts! "

" Oh, you should be. " Khamunrah said.

" Yeah right. " Jedediah said. " What could they possibly do to us? "

Khamunrah smiled that evil, menacing grin. " Oh, you'll see. " He said, stepping out from the center of the circle.

" Exterminate! " One of the monsters said. Octavius watched in horror as it shot a laser out of it's whisk arm, and it hit Jedediah. He screamed and fell.

" Jedediah! " Octavius cried, kneeling by his friends side.

" Now you foolish men see what powers I have wielded! "

Octavius was about to say something back when he was cut off by the same metal monster that had shot Jedediah.

" Exterminate! " It said again in it's cold, metallic voice. Octavius watched the laser shoot out and come at him. Oddly enough, when it him, he felt nothing. He was aware of himself collapsing, falling to the ground. The darkness was closing in. But before it did, he saw a blue box appear and disappear. Then it all went black.

Octavius screamed and his shot open. He was shaking, and his heart was going 246. He sat up, and clutched his blanket. Then he laid his head on his knees, and began to cry.
