"Killers enjoy scaring their prey, then killing them." Howl said. "well, if he want's to scare me, then he's going to have to wait a while!" mariter said, patting his chest with his fist. "... As long as he doesn't team up with Slendy again." Howl replied. "I was lucky to get out. "I don't think he will, ben is the only one of the two able to get into an electronical device. then again... curse those damned games." mariter said, hoping ben doesn't recreate slender into termina. "Oh... Thank Goddesses he won't be able to, cause I barely escaped slender last time." Howl said. "don't comfort yourself just yet, because we're in ben's territory, who knows what horrors might await us." mariter said, pulling open the bars of the town gate. "Psh! Me? An ex-serial killer, scared?" Howl asked, grinning. "I just saw something move in the forest." mariter whispered, pointing. "Come on out with your hands up." Howl said, pointing his pistol to the forest clearing. "good, you're true to your word. but anyways, It just appears to be a re-dead...wait, why are there re-deads in the forest?" mariter asked, pulling out his Ipod and headphones, in case he has to fight. "Oh, okay, that should be fine." Howl said, smiling before one shrieked and he froze, with his gun in his hands just before falling back. "Ugh, these are stronger ones." he said, drawing his pistol once again and shooting it. "th-this is ben's world, after all." he said, popping the headphones on. "guess smike will have to do." he said, dashing forward while slashing a re-dead in half with the spiked sword. "Look out!" Howl shouted, pulling his scythe into a chain scythe as he swung it around a re-dead behind him, cutting it to pieces as he pulled the blade back to his hands. "time to have some FUN!" mariter shouted, killing two re'deads with a throw of smike, while one-winged angel started pulsing through the air. "... This is why I disbanded the council when they died." Howl mumbled, spinning his scythe around him, killing multiple re-deads. "I thought it was because they killed humans." mariter stated, just as he fell into a large hole. "No, it's because the council are all SICK MONSTERS BENT ON THE ENJOYMENT OF MURDER!" Howl shouted, slicing through more re-deads. "Huh? Martier!" Howl shouted, looking around. "uh, I'm down here! plus, if we could easily get away, then why are we killing things that are dead in the first place?" mariter's voice echoed from the hole. "besides that, come down here, I found a passage that i'm pretty sure isn't natural in termina. "Um, I dunno!" Howl shouted. "Really? This better not be filled with enemies." Howl called out, jumping in. "can't guarantee that. it appears to lead to some frozen mountain's, but, link destroyed that mechanical fiend, didn't he?" he pondered as he munched on some ice. I think I see something red at the end of the tunnel... two red things... "I-I-I... h-h-hate th-the c-c-c-cold..." Howl said, shivering. "Snowhead sucks... huh? Red?" Howl asked, still shivering. "I recommend you stand still..." mariter said, drawing a runic pentigan in the snow. "BURN!" he shouted when he was finished. suddenly, a wolfos burst into blue flames at the end of the tunnel. "there. come on, let's go." "That's better." Howl said, warming up. "This is getting horrible... I hope Sam and Alexis are okay..." Howl said, thinking about the dead man and the Garo. "who knows. there is a possibility that they're watching us right now, if they came to our base. if they are, just hope that they don't try to play the game, i've been in situations like this before." mariter said with a sigh. "Yeah, I've been in situations like this too, I couldn't beat BEN, only escape him, losing my arm again in the process." Howl admitted before a blonde woman in a cloak appeared in front of them. "HOLY SHIT!" Howl shouted as she waved a katana as a hand.

"Hi Howl!" Alexis said, smiling at him. "*sigh. at least the happy couple is united, but whether or not it'll help is an entirely new question." mariter said, tracing an arcane symbol of fire in the air to melt the ice ahead. "H-happy couple? She may look like she's seventeen, but she's like, eighty years old!" Howl said, blushing like crazy.

"Yeah, and I'm already married. Howl's like my son to me." she said, petting him on the head with her katana. "Let's just hope Samuel doesn't play the game." Alexis said, rushing past Mariter, slicing through the ice with skill and precision, leaving a sculpture in her wake. "well, now. what the hell am I going to do with this runic symbol!?" mariter shouted in the backround. "umm, maybe it wasn't the best idea to break the ice..." mariter whispered. "Why?" Alexis asked as she turned around, letting her blonde hair flow over her shoulders. "um, yeah, don't freak out, okay, but, um, we seem to have a horde of black poe's flooding from the remain's" mariter said, with a slightly worried expression. "Black boes?" Howl asked, looking around and seeing the eyes of them. Alexis suddenly ran past the two as the black boes began getting sliced as she stopped and evaporated into black mist. "dammit! why does it have to be nighttime?!" mariter shouted, hacking away at the boes, while running towards the next ice block. "fire!" mariter shouted, burning a large hole in the ice. "I'm following that guy." Alexis and Howl said, following behind him. "FIRE!" he shouted, firing another wave of fire that shot through the boes and destroyed a wolfos, revealing another path. "this way!" mariter shouted, running over a poe. The two nodded, running right behind him, not seeing the gomess behind them, no one noticed it. "finally, we're out of the horde of boes. we can rest up here for a bit. i'll draw a runic symbol of healing for those of us that can't regenerate quickly...wha-? damn bats." mariter said, frustratedly killing one. "Keese?" Howl asked, lifting his finger as one landed on it, its eyes redder than the normal one.

"HOWL LOOK OUT!" Alexis said as her blades came out of her cloak and killed the bat.

"Thanks Lexi." Howl said to the garo who nodded. "LOOK OUT!" Howl screamed, tackling her to the ground as a massive scythe sliced through the wall. "hmm, that scythe looks fairly dangerous, I wonder if it's strong enough to pierce my flesh." mariter pondered, just as the scythe slashed right through the air he inhabited half a millisecond ago. "thanks, brine. guess I need to pay more attention to my surroundings. ALL RIGHT, YA RASCALLY FLYING BUGGAR! COME GET SOME!" mariter shouted. "Gladly." it said, rushing towards him and swinging the scythe, slicing through the wall as if it were a scissor cutting paper. "you truly thought it would be intelligent to rush me?" mariter said, dodging the second swing and punching the orb at it's center causing a large crack. "next time you rush me, might want to cover that up, newbie." mariter said smugly, just as a boe hopped on his head. "Look out!" Howl cried, shooting the boe off, as the gommess swung the blade yet again, swinging wildly.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill, killings what I do... kill, kill, kill, kill, now it's time for you." it sang, slicing at Mariter. "FREEZE!" mariter shouted, freezing the gomess. "you won't be doing much in that freezing coffin. now, time for you to disappear. FROZEN HEART!" mariter yelled. then, a fire burst inside of the ice, engulfing the gomess in flames. as the fire melted the ice, the icewater put out the flames, leaving nothing behind. "fwooh! never mind about that healing, I need a break myself after that, I think I'm gonna collapse." mariter said, exhaustedly falling into the snow. "He's strong." Howl said, looking at him as Alexis lifted him onto her back, as Howl helped her wrap his arms around her, since she still had no arms. "Now what?" Howl asked as she shook her head. "Maybe we should head above ground." Howl said. "Herobrine, if you will?" "thanks." mariter said as herobrine decoded the bug keeping the false wall there. "I probably shouldn't be so reckless with that, but we were in a tight situation. anyway, I guess the most sensible choice is to go to that creepy terrifying hut over there, so we can rest." mariter said with an intruiged expression as he held on. "Okay." Alexis said, walking over with Howl guarding the rear as they walked into the hut. "and as expected, no monsters inside. i'm assuming ben thought we would avoid this one safehouse because it's so creepy. i'll scout ahead to make sure, is anybody else going with besides brine?" mariter asked, hopping off alexis's back. "I guess so..." Howl said as Alexis stood next to him.

"I don't know..." Alexis said, trying to hug Howl. He hugged her.

"Um... I guess not, Sam would kill me if Lexi gets hurt." Howl said. "alright, brine come on, into the depths we go." mariter said, slightly anxious to be on the move. three minutes after that, mariter came running out of the house, panting. "there's a dead hands in there, but it makes no sense! aren't they only in ocarina of time?" "DEAD HANDS?!" Howl asked, speeding off to where the dead hands where. "YOU MADE ME CRAP MY PANTS WHEN I WAS 1! NOW YOU WILL SUFFER!" he shouted as he let one of the hands grab him before going berserk on the beast. "wait! be careful, that thing likes to jump you at corners!" mariter yelled, petting a kind little white boe on the head. "And I like to jump at it!" Howl said, running to the wall and decapitating it. "well, you're the speedy one." mariter said, walking through the doorway. "alright, now that it's secure, let's rest a bit." mariter said, sitting in the dirt where the dead hands was. "... That's better." Howl said, walking back and sitting down. "Huh? A chest." Howl said, pointing to it. "what's in the chest?" mariter said, setting down the boe. "if it's a cookie, I want it." Howl nodded and opened the chest. *Insert Zelda theme for chest* "... I got a..." Howl said, not knowing what it was. "umm, I think it may be bugged. herobrine?" mariter asked. "Um... it looks like a taco... hungry..." Howl said, sticking it in his mouth and eating it. "Tastes like a taco too.." "wow, ben sure has a sense of humor." mariter stated. " alright, is everybody ready to head out, or should I cast a healing rune?" mariter asked, picking up the boe. "... Tastes like blood now..." Howl said, falling over. "never eat something out of place that you find. that happens to be an item that to whoever looks at it, it appears to be the food they are craving. to me it appears to be a cookie. it has a slight corrosive acid in it, which explains the taste of blood in your mouth. don't worry, it won't kill you. if you want, I could heal you." mariter said, setting down bobobo and getting ready to create a cura rune. "The blood is tasty..." Howl mumbled as BEN gave a little shake of fear. "*sigh. apparently A bit of a darkness release, too." mariter said. 'I don't have enough energy to put a seal on him though, so I guess if it get's too out of hand, i'll jump in.' he thought to himself. "SIN! GREED, WRATH, SLOTH, PRIDE!" Howl shouted, sitting up, and relaxing. "That's one F***ed up taco." "good, you can resist a minor tug from darkness, but be careful, ben has much stronger ways to get you away from the light. I'm the human incarnation of the incarnation of balance, so none will work on me, but you and alexis... just be careful." mariter fretted mildly. "... Darkness, is my calling... it always has been..." Howl said. "just don't stray too close, because evil always lies in darkness's wake, ready to pounce when you stray too close." mariter said, in a tone that indicated he was deep in memory. "... Evil... light, darkness, good, bad... what's the difference?" Howl asked, looking down. "multiple differences, just look at palutena compared to hades." mariter said, pointing to first, the sky, then the ground. "Hades... he's just a bit of a pedophile... but I guess so..." Howl said, standing. "Let's beat BEN now." "wait." mariter said in a slightly firm voice.
