So here's the rest of it - TA DAH! Might do an extra bonus section if I'm bored... :)
Leave a review if you enjoyed!
Rythian sighed as he walked towards Llana, feeling slightly guilty. Of course, he hadn't forgotten their history or anything; he just didn't particularly want to bring Nano into Sjin's plans...
"Hey Rythian! You look slightly worried...?" Llana's voice interrupted Rythian's thoughts as he glanced up at the smiling scientist.
"Yeah... Well, I..." Rythian said hesitantly, the guilt growing in his stomach. As he looked at Llana, however, he suddenly remembered how he had felt when his base and his companion had blown up. Rythian's eyes narrowed slightly; this was nothing in comparison to what Llana had done to him.
"I need wool but I can't find any here; have you any idea where I can find some?"
"Hmm... Have you tried looking on some sheep?" Llana laughed as Rythian raised an eyebrow at him in response.
"Okay, okay... I think I might have some lying around somewhere... Just wait around here and I'll find you later, alright?" Llana asked as he equipped his hand glider.
"Sure! Thanks!" Rythian agreed hastily as he watched the scientist leave through the sky doors. Within seconds he had morphed into a bat and was following Llana, flying low through the trees, keeping to the shadows.
As Rythian approached the area Sjin and him had been talking to earlier, he noted that Llana had suddenly unequipped his jet pack and was falling towards the ground; before Rythian could react he equipped his glider at the last minute, going into the caves below the cliff. Rythian smiled as he morphed back into his human form, turning his ear piece on.
"Sjin? Flux Buddies layout confirmed." He said smugly as he sat down to wait behind the tree Sjin and him had been hiding behind earlier.
"Okay Nano, these have about 3 minutes of invisibility each, so... As long as we keep to the shadows..." Llana lectured as they put the finishing touches to the hot tub.
"Yeah, understood! The hot tub will ensure that they don't hear us drinking it, the shadows hide the particles coming off us, I get it!" Nano said impatiently as she arranged the potions in her backpack.
"And you definitely have Rythian's morph...?" Llana asked as Nano smugly grinned.
"Killed him in his sleep - he just woke up on the bed and thought he had had a bad dream!" Nano laughed wickedly for a moment, Llana joining in.
"Right, and I have Sjin's morph... I can't wait for this..." Llana chuckled.
"Okay... And the code word is Fluxy, so make sure you get that into a sentence or I won't know it's you!" Nano reminded him as he rolled his eyes.
"Never let me choose the code word ever again..." He muttered as they smiled at each other, gave each other a quick high five, and set off to put the revenge plan in motion.
Sjin and Rythian crept along the unlit underground passages, listening out for any signs of life. Sjin shook his head.
"We're never going to find them at this rate... Split up?" Sjin suggested, glancing at Rythian who nodded reluctantly.
"I'll call you if I find anything..." Rythian called at Sjin's back as he set off down another passage way, going deeper.
As Rythian progressed deeper, he became aware of the feeling he was not alone. He paused as he turned his ear piece on. "Sjin?" He whispered, empty static greeting him as a response. He sighed as he turned it off and kept creeping forward, before stopping in his tracks again. Those were definitely footsteps... Which were now running towards him... Rythian mounted a torch on the wall before drawing his sword out, ready to fight as the footsteps became louder.
"Rythian?" The voice called as Rythian laughed in relief as Sjin's voice floated out of the darkness. "I found it!" Sjin announced triumphantly, a dark figure motioning Rythian to follow him; shaking his head, Rythian put his sword away and took the torch, lightly jogging after Sjin. Sure enough, after a few minutes they reached a small hollowed out section of the cave, covered in torches and flowers. Apart from a few chests here and there, there wasn't anything to signify it was a base... Apart from the golden gleaming hot tub which was boiling away. Rythian stopped dead in his tracks as he noticed the sign in front of the hot tub.
"The House of Flowers; Magical Hot Tub" he read out loud, looking at Sjin. Sjin looked back sheepishly.
"Ha ha... I thought I'd rename it?" He said innocently as Rythian sighed, looking around for any sign of the Flux Buddies. He stopped when he noticed Sjin was dipping his foot into the hot tub.
"What are you doing Sjin? They could be around here somewhere!" Rythian hissed as Sjin looked slightly worried for a minute before grinning.
"You're right; I'll do a quick perimeter check, you sort out the hot tub!" Before Rythian could reply, Sjin had run off into one of the caves, leaving a bewildered Rythian. After poking through some of the chests and only finding a few flowers and meaningless materials, he turned his attention to the hot tub.
"Well... It can't hurt..." He mumbled to himself as he settled himself into the hot tub, sighing contently.
Behind the corner where he'd been watching, Sjin grinned and made his way back through the tunnels, morphing into another tall figure. Llana smiled as he briefly enjoyed being himself again before morphing into a bat, heading off through the tunnels. He soon caught up with the real Sjin, who was hopelessly lost, and noticed Nano in a bat form behind him, only slightly viable in the shadows.
After flying in a circle three times clockwise, Nano repeated it, landing a way behind Sjin. Quickly morphing into Rythian, she scarcely has enough time breath in her new form as Sjin spun around with a small yelp.
"Oh thank god Ryth, I thought I was going to be walking around these tunnels forever!" Sjin said in relief.
"I found it... And the hot tub is really warm..." Rythian said as Sjin looked confused before laughing.
"I knew you had a rebellious side! Lead on!" Sjin commanded as Rythian slowly shook his head with a teasing grin, moving backwards.
"You'll have to catch me first!" He challenged smugly as he ran off, leaving Sjin to run blindly through the tunnels; he noticed a light after a while and ran towards it, hardly noticing the figure crouched in the corner as he ran past it, only heading towards the light. Nano morphed back into her form as Llana joined her, barely containing his laughter.
"Invisibility potions?" He asked as he drew one out, holding a small video camera in his hands.
Nana grinned. "Invisibility potions." She confirmed as they both left the majority of their items in a concealed panel in the wall before creeping towards Sjin and Rythian.
Meanwhile, Sjin finally emerged into the light, blinking slightly as he noticed the chests and hot tub; and more importantly, Rythian in it.
"That was quick" he commented to Rythian as he opened an eye lazily before closing it again.
"Uh huh..." Rythian sighed as he relaxed further into the hot tub, hardly noticing Sjin, who had climbed in and joined him.
"Ah..." He sighed as the warm water hit his aching back. Being a farmer was hard work.
"No sign of the Flux Buddies?" Rythian asked slowly, opening his eyes as he glanced at Sjin, who shook his head in response.
"Nope... Must have been and gone..." Sjin suggested as Rythian, satisfied with his answer, leant back, stretching his legs out and accidentally brushing against Sjin's foot in the water.
"Sorry..." He apologised as Sjin waved it off, laughing.
"It's fine, there's plenty of room in here!" He teased as Rythian laughed in response.
"Now Nano" Llana whispered as Nano nodded, sneaking behind the two men in the hot tub and activating one of the switches Llana had installed earlier. Instantly the bubbles started to increase...
"Hey Ryth? Did you turn on something?" Sjin asked warily as the bubbles started to become more violent.
"I don't think so... " Rythian replied uneasily, looking at the bubbles suspiciously. He became aware that there was a massive build up of pressure occurring beneath the hot tub...
"Rythian? Do you reckon we should get out...?" Sjin as worriedly as the bubbles started to rise uncontrollably.
"Yes, Sjin, I think we should!" Rythian yelled over the violent water as they both attempted to climb out; however, several hissing noises stopped them as they looked at each other in panic.
"Er..." Sjin managed to get out before the TNT beneath them exploded, sending them shooting towards the ceiling, crashing into it before sailing back into the wreckage below at high speeds.
Nana and Llana cried with laughter as the two tombstones appeared, signifying that Rythian and Sjin were both safely back at the main base.
"That was fantastic!" Nano howled as Llana tried to control his laughter.
"Yeah... I can't wait to show the others this..." He added as he held up the video camera; pressing their heads together, they watched the video as Llana rewinded to the start, which showed Rythian and Sjin enjoying a seemingly romantic hot tub session together before being blown up whilst severely panicking. Llana grinned.
"I think the Hand of Truth might want to see this..." He suggested as Nano widened her eyes and laughed harder.
"Yeah, let's go there now!" She suggested eagerly as she started to fly up using her jet pack, dragging Llana behind her as they giggled.
