Ch 3 battle of death

As promised Finn was going on his first dungeon crawl with Jake and Jermaine wearing his new cloths his mom made him. As they approached the area the dungeon was near the area grow dark and dreary as though this place was a hot spot for the undead.

"Oh my glob guys this place is creepy. I LOVE IT! It's everything I dreamed about" cheered Finn

"This is creepy?" Jake said with a confused look on his face "I'd give it a 3 out of 10 in the creep-o-meter"

"Really you're not remotely scared?" Jermaine asked Jake questionably.

"You bet, nothing scars me"

"JAKE LOOK OUT BHIND YOU A VAMPIER" as Jermaine pointed out to nothing knowing Jake's fear of vampires would get him nice and scared.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" (high pitched girly scream)

"Nothing scars you right Mr. big and fearless guard dog" Jermaine sarcastically said

"Nice one" Finn complemented as he high fived Jermaine.

"That was not funny! If there was a real vampire it would have snatched you Finn and kept you as a blood bank until you were dead and dry Finn" Jake argued

"Speaking of the dead I think I see the entrance to the dungeon" Jermaine pointed out "looks like it's guarded by three skeleton worriers. A quick lightning spell will deal with then" as Jermaine charged the spell he was soon stopped by Finn.

"Wait let me deal with them. After all it's my adventure" Jermaine nodded in agreement and so did Jake.

Finn crept behind one of the three skeleton worriers and raised his sword to slash its back, the other skeleton worriers heard their comrade fall and saw Finn standing beside him they charge at Finn but Finn picks up the rusty sword on the ground and throws it as hard as he can at one of the skeletons and kills it. The third skeleton swings his sword at him but Finn bobs down and swipes his legs with his sword and when the skeleton hits the ground he chops its head off ending the quick battle.

"Finn that was globing awesome! Dad must have trained you well" Jake complemented Finn

"No not really it was mostly mum that trained me to fight" Finn answered honestly

"Wooooooow mom was the one to train you now I know that was some serious training stuff their" Jake said dumbfounded

"If you two ladies are done talking about who has the prettiest hair we should really get moving" exclaimed Jermaine.

"Ppfft like we all know that I have the prettiest hair of all" Finn said in a girly voice which earned him a few giggles from his two brothers before heading inside.

"That is true, you do have the prettiest hair in all of OOO, hell most guys and girls would be forgiven if they thought you to be a princess, hehehehe AWW!" Jermaine stopped laughing as Finn punched him in the arm. Not hard enough to hurt him but hard enough to give him a warning.

As they proceeded into the dungeon they encountered more restrains the further they journeyed deeper into the dungeon they even managed to find some silver coins on the monsters they slayed. They soon entered a massive room and on the other side they could see an orc necromancer casting spells at a big metal door.

"RRRRRaaaaaaa" roared the Orc "cures! This blasted door! Those humans really knew how to keep people out and away from their stuff!"

Finn's eyes widen as he said that this door was made by humans. In fact, this was the first time Finn ever saw anything that was made by his people in person. Even if it was just a large metal door, it was a lest something rather than nothing at all. And maybe just maybe there could be something else behind the door. The possibilities were truly endless in Finn's overly imaginative mind.

"Hay guys I think I know that guy, I think his name Hagu wait let me check" As Jake looked in his bag he pulled out a few wanted poster and began to flip through them in hopes of finding the right one "ah here it is Hagu Shulhug B rank criminal, no known associates wanted dead or alive for the crimes of grave robing, use of dark and forbidden magic, murder and rape"

"Okay that settles it we have to stop him if he gets that door open and finds out whatever's inside he may cause untold chaos thought OOO" Finn declared as he drew his sword and move towards the criminal but was stopped by his brother Jermaine.

"Finn wait, that guy is a B rank criminal you are just a novice adventurer and you will be killed. That and he has control of all the monsters in this dungeon" Jermaine pointed out to Finn.

"Yeah but I have you guys to help be out with that and besides those are only low level monsters here for him to control and we killed all if not most of them already"

"Yes you are right there are only low level monsters here for him to control but look at his wanted poster again it says he's a grave robber and by the looks of him he is obviously an necromancer which means that he probably means he brought strong undead with him to guard him personally like any half decent necromancer would" as if on cue three undead monsters entered the room.

One was a knight with badly rusted armor so bad was the damage there were holes all over and half of his helmet was missing reveling a mummified face. Perhaps once in his time among the living he was once a noble knight of some high society of nobles cast.

The second was female and looked like she came from the jungle kingdom. Her appearance showed that she was not dead for long before becoming undead with a part of her lower right jaw missing showing the bone and cuts and bruises all over her body she would of been considers quit beautiful when she was alive. Both Jake and Jermaine couldn't help but think that she may have been one of Hagu's supposed rape victims that he killed and resurrected.

The last monster was by far the most monetarist of all. It was a large hulking beast of a creature with four arms and it looked to be an amalgamation of different corpses of both monster and people all stitched together and kept in place with foul dark sorcery.

"See I was right, Finn we have to leave now no way we can fight those guys and come out unscratched"

"I know that now but you heard what he said that door was made by my people and it just feels wrong to leave it here with him to open it, no I will fight and stop him from whatever evil plan he has. With or without your help and protect my heritage from scum like him"

"Welp I'm sticking with Finn. We can take them but we stand a better chance of taking them down if you join us Jermaine and if you don't you don't get to share in the treasure that's behind that door"

"Jake how do you plan on opening the door if he couldn't get it to open"

"So what if I can't get the door open? Have you seen the bounty on his head 250 gold coins bro"

"250 gold coins!? That seems a bit high for someone of B ranked to have on their head. Coin like that is usually reserved for an A ranked criminal not B ranked. They're usually around about 100 or at most 150 gold, what's with the unusually high amount?"

"I don't really know, but if I had to guess maybe it's because he's probable just pissed off some high class noble. I mean just look bro, one of the undead monsters does look like he was a noble"

"That is a good point"

After much deliberating in Jermaine's head he reluctantly agreed to fight them. They played it smart, by just waiting for the orc necromancer to tier himself out by letting him rage at the door with his constant barrage of combat magic which would leave him weaken and therefor venerable to an attack. The only real danger was the three undead that guarded him. They decided that Finn would fight the knight because Finn called dibs. While Jake will do battle the big one, for obvious reasons really. And lastly Jermaine would take on the jungle fighter.

"Alright everyone ready" Finn asked his brothers

"Yes" they both replied

"Alright let's CHARGE!" Finn and Jake screamed but not Jermaine feeling it to be idiotic and not wanting his enemy to think he's an idiot like his two brothers.

Hearing the screams of two idiots Hagu turned around to see three assailants charging at him, Hagu immediately commanded what little undead he still had under control to protect him.

As all three come out of their hiding place to fight the selected undead Finn swung his sword at the undead knight but he blocked the blow with his shield and then counter by swinging his mace across. Finn saw the attack coming and dodged but to only see he was being kneed in the gut. Finn dropped down to one knee on the floor by the knight, luckily Finn managed to roll away before the knight could take another swing with his mace. Finn realized he can't win with brute force like the other undead so he would need to relay on his speed and size so he formulated a plan of action. Finn charged at the knight again but this time he slid in between his legs and slash at one of his knee caps causing the knight to kneel down giving Finn an opening as he stabbed one of the holes in the armor rapidly ending the fight before it could get out of hand.

Jake had a much easier time with his opponent for his opponent relied solely on his size and strength to win all of his battles. Nothing really special at all, all Jake needed to do was grow bigger in size and beat the monster at his own game. Jake grow almost twice as big to overpower the monster and crush him leaving him the victor, as he looked to see how the others were doing Jake saw Finn defeat the knight and couldn't help but feel proud of his little brother but his twin was having more trouble with his fight.

Jermaine was stuck with the worst kind of opponent for someone like him, one that can close the distance between them, for an undead Jermaine had to admit she was pretty fast for a stiff corps getting right in his face, punching and kicking him before he could chant a spell to counter with.

"A little help guys" Jermaine screamed knowing that his brothers have won their fight already.

Finn was the first to intervene stopping the jungle brawler from pounding his brother's face in by swinging his sword wildly in hopes of landing a hit but she avoided all his strikes and back away. Jake stretched out his hand to grab and restrain her but she quickly caught his arm and wiped him into the ceiling and into the ground. The fight was heating up and soon the orc would recover to full power, he was both angry and pleased how things were turning out, anger that two out of three of his most powerful undead were defeated easily but pleased to know that he would soon have three new more stronger undead servants soon.

Finn and Jake were duking it out with the jungle brawler surprisingly she held out very well countering all their attacks and throwing them around but this gave Jermaine the breathing room he needed to cast a binding spell on the brawler. Finn and Jake kept her distracted so when Jermaine used the binding spell she would not have the time to avoid it, Jermaine unleashed his spell that illuminated the room in dark blue light that constricted her in place allowing Finn and Jake to finisher her off.

Things were not looking good for the orc he had still not fully recovered from the earlier outburst he had with the door, however his monsters did a good job buying him time but he just still needed a little more time.

"Wait! You have no idea who you are messing with, do you even know who I am the people I know! Walk away now and I'll forget this even happened" he had hoped this may convince them fighting him was not good for them but his hope was for not.

"It says her on your wanted poster your name is Hagu Shulhug and that you have no big name connections" Jake pointing to the poster

"So you lot are bounty hunters, then you thee must have been tracking me for weeks then" Hagu Shulhug snarled at himself for being foolish enough to live a trail

"Nope we just …" faster than anyone could react Jake had been squished in-between two stone tablets "OUCH that really hurt but I'm fine"

Finn and Jermaine looked at Jake to see that he was fine, slowly stretching out of the stone slabs, then looking back to Hagu Shulhug seeing him with a big evil grin, both brothers realizing that Hagu was just distracting them to buy time to replenish enough of his mana to fight with and he succeeded in doing so. Luckily for the boys they know that Hagu has not completely recovered all of his mana so the battle could go either way.

Hagu begins the battle by shooting a ball of dark energy at the team, Finn and Jermaine managed to doge just in time but Jake was still stuck in the stone slabs and was blasted to the other side of the room knocking him out cold.

"Did you really think that you lot could stand a chance against me! Two mutts and a… and a…" Hagu stuttered not knowing what was under the hood, goggles and bandana that covered Finns face "I'm sorry but what are you child? You're obviously not one of those mutts" he asked.

"I'm your end" replied Finn as he charged at Hagu but was repelled back by a torrent of flames.

Being denied identification picked Hagu's interests a little "I'm sure I'll find out when I kill you" he taunted, he then began to cast an array of fire balls Finn ducked into cover while Jermaine casted a ward around him, sadly the fire balls where to powerful for him to hold at bay and was blown to a wall with a few burn marks and a concussion.

Finn seeing this, Finn rushed to pull his brother out of the open and into cover but was blasted off to the side by another fire ball. Hagu stopped his spell seeing that he has won he walks over to Finn and kicks away his sword from his hand and picks him up by the throat.

"You and your friends were very good and I really mean it truly I do, you'll make find additions to my retinue in your un-life. but in the end you were nothing more than a mere childe but now let's see what's under the mask" as Hagu removed Finn's goggles and bandana his eyes widen in shock for he was staring into the eyes of a real live human being.

He was amazed at what he had found, forget about the door he has a living human in his hands and he knows many wizards and witches that would pay a pretty penny for him, but a new thought entered his mind he could sell him to one of the kingdoms. They would pay him more than a king's ransom and if he played his cards just right he might become the court mage and be set for life.

As Hagu was distracted with the prospects of striking it rich Finn used this opportunity to reached for his knife that he had strapped to his leg and stabbed Hagu right in the throat watching him bleed out effectively killing him. Finn wiped off the blood his blade and picked up his sword and then went to check on his bothers. Seeing as they were both okay they walk over to the metal door except for Jake who went to Hagu's corps to check for any valuables and to cut his head off for proof of the bounty and then rejoined his brothers.
