Chapter 6: Arachnid of Death
"You're the Guardian?" Mike asked.
"That's right, my sweet," she replied while licking her lips in that creepy way that freaked Mike out. "I've protected this land for hundreds of years, and I have similar qualities to my ancestor!" She roared as she revealed nasty fangs in her mouth. Four spider legs ripped through her toga and her arms and legs merged into spider legs as well. Her eyes multiplied as her hair shredded off. Her abdomen grew large in size and ripped her toga to shreds. She became a gigantic, black spider. "Now you're all trapped in here with me!" She growled in a demonic voice.
She started by shooting a web against the wall, and then firing acid out of her mouth. Everyone dodged it. In her demonic voice she said, "You may call upon your best fighter to fight me. Only one choice. Defeat me, and you may pass." They all immediately looked at Violet. But Violet had a different idea in mind.
"Actually, I think Augustus should fight her. Mike, would you get me the tool I was saving?" Mike handed Violet a mysterious box which glowed green. She summoned a hammer, took the box, and at hyper-speed, she reforged Augustus' armor. "I made that material so I could add it too your armor. It protects from poisonous fluids and gases. We can count on you."
Augustus nodded and said, "Thanks, V." Arachnia jumped at Augustus, who jumped higher and stomped on Arachnia while still in the air. After doing several cartwheels, he got back on track. His gauntlets glowed, and he smashed his fists and the ground, creating an earth wave. The wave hit Arachnia and knocked her into the wall. "I learned that from Veruca." Arachnia snarled and managed to pin Augustus down. She spat acid at his face, but his helmet protected him completely as Violet had predicted. He pushed the devilish spider away with his feet. Arachnia sprayed a web, tying Augustus. She tried to bite him, but her fangs couldn't penetrate his armor. He then absorbed the kinetic energy of the biting and created a force blast, knocking her senseless. When he rushed at her to finish her off, she changed back to her original form, fully clothed (Otherwise it would been awkward).
She pleaded, "Please have mercy! You have bested me!" Augustus stopped his attack, and helped Arachnia back up. "You are a magnificent fighter! You are all free to pass! I hope to see you all again someday!" She opened the sealed gate blocking the way back up to the mountain.
While climbing up the mountain, they noticed two climbers were having trouble. Violet teleported everyone to their location. She and Charlie helped them up onto the edge. "Thanks for helping us! We could have been in big trouble." But then, they threw off their disguises, revealing themselves to be Hunter and Armada!
"I wish we would stop falling into traps!" Violet shouted in anger.
That's the chapter! There are only two chapters left in this story, mostly because this story is really split into two. Stay tuned, and have a great day!
