Chapter 7: Sneaking into School.
A blue light emerged from the sky near the Sinister Sly boarding school, on a hill just a mile away where the school was located. As the cold evening wind blew, Slash and his friends emerged from the beam of light and stepped foot on Damien's homeworld, The Underworld. Damien came in last as the portal closed behind them.
'Whoaa...' Slash expressed. With a look that while being impressed, also was kinda scared slightly at the same time. 'So this is where you come from, Damien?'
'Yeah, lovely place, isn't it?' The demon kid expressed with a sarcastic tone and grin. The rest was at first feeling uneasy, but they adjusted themselves to their new environment pretty quickly.
'Brr...' Nancy shaked from the cold. 'It's alot colder here than back home. And where is the moon?' She looked around but couldn't spot anything in the very dark sky.
Damien looked ahead and saw the school in the vicinity. 'Come on, guys! You want to get that Roger guy or not?'
The rest quickly looked at him, Linda a bit irritated responded: 'Sorry, Damien, but this is the first time we go in a spooky world, are you really that suprised we are in awe?'
Damien shaked his head a bit and pointed towards the school. 'That's where Roger's heading to, the Sinister Sly boarding school!' The rest began to walk up the hill towards the school gates, the eerie wind blowing as the dead tree's and dim grey snow from the clouds they stepped on surrounded them.
On their way the rest were chatting up a bit amongst themselves, but Nancy was constantly looking around a bit, until she noticed Damien walked a bit past her. Feeling curiously to ask him about how he feels returning to his own world, she got up to him.
'Hey, Damien!' Nancy tried to sound as friendly as possible. 'What do you think about this school and environment?'
'It stinks!' Damien grunted. 'I constantly attempted to do right at the school, but each time I failed, and none of the other kids wanted to play with me either.'
'Oh, and what about that Roger fellow? Wasn't he your friend of sorts?'
Damien got a frown on his face when thinking about him. 'Not really. He was more of a bargainer who used me to pull off some terrible pranks but in exchange he would give me the answers to the lessons so I wouldn't fail, otherwise I'd be sitting for the rest of my life on the streets. I became sick of this school and it's people, so when I found this little thingy here, I used it to get to your world, and was finally free. Though that Roger managed to somehow follow me, and blackmailed me in serving him and his stupid scheme for grand destruction of Snow Town, otherwise he'd tell the principal where I went to and punish me.'
'Yikes, that doesn't sound so nice.' Nancy reacted back a bit shocked from what she just heard from Damien. She wanted to ask more, but right as she wanted to, they arrived at the gates of the school.
Damien took a look around, noticing the gates were already closed, and light coming from the lunch room, as it was dinner time.
'Grr...locked! Guess we'll have to take a secret route one way or another...'
The rest looked around the gates a bit, and Tommy noticed one of the steel bars was hanging a bit loose. 'Hey, over here!' He shouted to the rest who immediatly approached him.
Moving it downwards, he removed the steel bar carefully.
'Nice!' Wendy commented, before they all went through the opening and now stood within the empty playground, near the windows where it was shown the other demon kids were eating. As the kids were looking out if nobody was coming through, they made their way to where according to Damien, Roger's room was located. Seeing as there was light shining from the window as they approached it, they knew Roger was still in his room, and stayed close the wall while they could hear him talking.
'So... this star isn't just a ordinairy decoration, huh?' He stated as he admired the Shining Star's beauty.
'Lemme see, I thought I had a book around here describing ancient myths... there it is!!'
After a few seconds of quickly going through a book, he laughed and told himself: 'Yes! That's it! With this star's bright power put in correctly, it will foresee my project of eternal power! Soon I will take over the Underworld with it when it's fully ready in a few months with THIS installed, geheheheh!!'
Though he then thought back on what Damien did to him a few weeks back. 'Ah, almost forgot, time to frame that idiot before I continue on, but first, dinner time!'
He putted down the Shining Star and his transporter device in a little box and hided it away somewhere, before he went out of his room to the dinner room.
Damien, who saw everything happening from peeking from a small corner of the window, signaled it was safe, and they all climbed in the room through the window which thankfully wasn't placed high while Tommy stayed on the lookout though still being slightly nervous.
The rest spended a few minutes searching everything in his room from his bed to his closet before they finally found it hidden amongst his clothes, and Damien opened it.
'This is that star thing you're looking for?' He looked at Slash, who immediatly grabbed it.
'You bet! Now let's get out of here!'
'Not yet!' Damien interrupted and pulled out one of his bombs he usually keeps one or two around, activated the timer, put it in the box with Roger's transporter device still in there, and closed it. 'Now we can go!' The rest heard footsteps approaching on the other side of the door, and and so they quickly got out of there through the window again, and ran off to the fence.
'Blergh... they didn't even have any biscuits leftovers...' Roger grumbled as he returned from the dinner room minutes after he left, finding out there wasn't anything left by the time he entered. 'Oh well, time to betray that litt---
KABOOOMMM!!!!!
A explosion then came from his room, and suprised, he fell backwards, before getting up just as quickly and checked out his room. Smoke was coming from the box that he hided, and upon opening it, found that there was nothing left of the transporter device but mere ashes, and that the Star was missing.
'Wha-WHAT?! NO! My device, it's demolished!! But, nobody knew about it...' His face then turning to deep red, realising who did, and looked outside of his window as he saw a bunch of kids running to the steel bars, amongst them a familiar demon kid.
'DAAMIEEEEEEEENNN!!!!!!!!' He yelled as he then ran towards his closet, opened it and pulled a lever that was hidden behind some clothes which opened a secret small pathway inside it for him, and he ran inside, smirking with a devilish grin...
