He23t your excitement for Finn is what we want everyone to show us. I thank you for your review. Lastly Roberto our good fan at least your consistent in the joy you have for our updates. And well here you go everyone.

Finn's view

Shit I knew this was going to be tough but this was more brutal then a full week in one of OOO's dungeons. The enraged sounds of the advancing Corrupt mutant golem brought me back to reality. In front of me towering at nearly seven feet tall was the corrupt trapster's. These form of Corrupt always go berserk when they spot a non-Corrupt. With a Stack Patch attached to my left arm I struck him with a lighting bolt. The surge of power released from my palm and fingers struck the golems as its body began to twitch.

Pulling my crossbow I shot three explosive bolts at the pipes above us. As the pipes came down with a large number of bricks the Trapster wasn't finished. Pushing the pipes to the side in an attempt to charge me it soon found its feet caught by the bricks. Holstering my crossbow I pulled my newest weapon. Richard told me that my kind used it to have fun but also that it was called a bat.

Leaping over the debris I brought the bat down onto it head feeling its soft dome piece shatter at my strike. But I knew it took complete destruction of the head to kill the Corrupt or after ten minutes they would get back up. 'Last time I let one of you go with out doing this but not this time'. Focusing my powers before the Patch wore off I created a volt grenade. Placing it by the golems head I moved a way after I grabbed its little fanny pack.

All the Corrupt had a pouch or small fanny pack to hold things that caught their eyes. Even Richard didn't know why his best guess they like shiny things. Richard has been a great help thanks to the weapons labs he's been sending the blue prints he found to upgrade my weapons. My crossbow now has a scope, better foot stirrup, stronger drawstring, and faster clip-changing slide. My bat has a better grip, and a stronger body than when I first found it.

Lastly my Bowie knife has a knuckle guard and fuller going down most of the blade. Plus after looking around I found new types of crossbow bolts. Static came on to my radio as Richards voice came through, "Finn find a drop station I made a full upgrade to the Stack Patch's. They now can give you back a little nourishment from damage you take. Also just cause I new you were going to ask I went and increased the formula so you might be able to unlock a new ability".

I gave a small smile after two weeks of combing through the endless tunnels and stairs. Richard had been there the whole time to give me advice. Running down the winding corridor I took a sharp right only for three Corrupt to see me. Shrieking their shouts of attack I drew my crossbow and fired my last explosive bolt.

On contact with the floor the explosion took of one corrupts leg and sending another flying at me. Stopping its slashing with the barrel of the crossbow I squeezed my fist and sent the electrified fist right into its eye. Doubling back it gave me enough time to attach another Patch to my arm. I felt the sudden surge of the Patch's formula go through my arm up to my neck.

Focusing I threw a volt grenade at the Corrupt on detonating half its ribs cage was soon gone. Pulling my bat free in bashed in its head then the one that had lost its leg. Looking around for the last one I saw it was no longer there. Its shriek got my attention as it came charging at me from down the hall. Going into a full sprint at it in return I sent a lighting bolt at it to throw it off. It didn't after two more tries I just smirked this one wanted to die fighting.

As it leapt into the air so did I both of us going into a one armed arch attack. I shouted, "Let's seen who lands first"! With a grin our attacks drew closer until impact.

Jake's View

"*Sigh* with lady and the pup's off at the crystal museum I might as well stop by Jermaine's. I know he hasn't taken Finn leaving very well, Finn I know why you left. I just wish you would talk about you emotions more. Instead of locking everything away in that mental vault".

Jermaine and his wife Margret got married last year it was a nice ceremony. Finn would have liked it but with no word of when he would get back we just went a head with the wedding. Knocking on the two-store houses door I heard the signature foot steps of my brother.

Opening the door stood my older brother he now wore his office commander uniform. It was much nicer than the regular Enforcers outfit, with the unique arm shields with the gold tassels. The deep orange colored jacket over the light red under shirt. Plus the bronze nametag and bronze shield of rank over it. (Authors note; ok look at a standard police officers uniform and add the things as described ok).

As smile grew over his face as he said, "Jake how's my little bro either your heard to tell me something about Finn. Or you're here to hang out which is not like you". Looking at the small smirk and shoulder shrug I gave him he invited me in for a drink. I really needed one right now too.

Finn's View

In all I spent a good two and a half weeks down here in this maze of brick and pipes. Now my crossbow was full upgraded it had a rotating cam the help the cross strings give more support to the drawstrings behind the bolts. The split limb bow was lighter but much stronger thanks to the new flex steel. The limb pockets on both sides of the foot stirrup was what helped support the bow. The upgraded folding stock could collapse outward so I could slide my forearm inside to the rubber grip and trigger. It could still work like a regular stock as Richard told me but I liked the feel of it attached to my forearm. The barrel was now a rounded cylinder that holds a round tube of bolts up to twenty in all. The new high-powered scope allowed me to seen a whole yard away and with the new protective cover over the bolts station I don't have to worry about jams. Lastly and my favorite part it has rapid fire can shoot a whole clip. As long as I hold the trigger, but single shots was ok for regular Corrupted.

My bats aluminum body, rubber grip, inward domed top, and the pressure trigger, if I aimed it at a corrupt the bat would jet forward slightly an sent a stream off pressure into what ever I aim at. My Bowie now had a steel aluminum blade, with a fuller, brass knuckles where the knuckle guard once was, and if in a jam I could trigger the blade to shoot out of the hilt to hit a target. It really did help a Corrupt had me pinned and almost scratched my neck pretty deep. Shooting the blade to the side of his face jerked his head completely in the other direction killing it.

Lastly the upgraded Patch's now allowed me to unlock even more abilities, my electro fist is even stronger now, and my electro leash was stronger as well as my lighting bolt attack. One of the newest moves I got was being able to run along or stick to the ceiling with magnetism even levitating of a short time. With this new increase my volt mines and grenades have become even more powerful too. Next were my static eyes allowing me to see things through some walls, lastly I got the ability to hide that's right invisibility it last's for less than a minute. But thanks to the Patch's I have better strength, speed, senses, and a slight healing ability.

It was odd really after one Patch lost its formula I forgot to put another one back on. I felt such a withdrawal that I had to put on another right away. Just yesterday I found it odd because when one ran out and my arm was really itchy. I got Richard to send me more but every now and again an itch would come over my arm.

Right now I had just two more level to go and Bmo and I we're hiding out in a small room. Bmo look at me with a small smile, "Finn are we finally going to leave the maze". I looked at him with a satisfied smirk, "Yeah B we're getting out of here and once we do Richard will detonate the internal power core to blow this place up. Then no one will be able to find the Corrupt formula ever again. But for now we need to get to Herlun stop his madness and get the keys".

Feeling the slight itch at my arm I knew the Patch was out of formula and I moved to change it. Feeling the new Patch send a nice satisfying string of formula into my system eased me a little. Picking up Bmo and placing him into the small sling of reinforced cloth I made him I picked up my crossbow. With the padded metal and plastic collapsing stock over my forearm. Feeling a new vigor to push forward I began to move.

Walking down the spiral stairway a few footsteps from the room we were in. Hearing the Corrupts signature shriek I saw three running at me from the top of the stairway. Firing a few times I hit one in the knee and neck, then throwing a volt mine a few steps behind me. Hearing the volts expand the air slightly I turned and fire at the closet Corrupt. Two bolts left my crossbow both ended up in its skull, as the last came shambling at me.

Shocking it to stop it I then shoved my crossbow into it eye socket and fired. They yellow blood splattered my clothes adding to the number of stains already on them. Looking them over I saw my jacket that was once a nicely made had several torn patches on it and some of it was now pealing. My pants were torn at the bottom of one leg while another my knee was completely exposed.

One of my caps amber colored goggles were cracked at the side, and my shoe had a hole next to the shoes tongue. Most of my hair was falling loss of the cap as well but the dirt clinging to my face and hair was just messed up. I could smell my self it was just as bad as a Corrupt. I turned to Bmo still hiding in the sling to say, "Bmo remind me to take a bath after we get out of this maze". Bmo, "ah oh, ok Finn I will".

Scavenging the Corrupts stuff I kept on going listening to pipes creak or burst with water. It was odd I would normally see one or two more Corrupt after a fight. But half way through this level and nothing, walking along the corridors was eerie. Walking past one door didn't sit well with me I had to look inside.

Looking inside I found the body of what looked like a Coreglass. Her glass colored skin faded and void of their signature light skin colors or mix skin color. She now was a gray colored tone of purple. From the crossbow in one hand then a Bowie knife in the other she clearly met her end with a fight. Her weapons weren't upgraded as good as mine. But her crossbow still caught my attention.

Looking at its bowstring I saw that is was different from mine. Closing the door I began to switch out the parts. After about an hour I finished reassembling my weapon and tested it out on the wall. The bolt impact on the brick not only shattered the brick and most of its surrounding. But also I felt next to no feedback from the bolt leaving the barrel. Firing another three to make sure what was happening was true I looked over the room.

It was empty as was the Coreglass's poaches she had nothing. Looking at her cracked face and skin I said, "You must have been over power when you got down here. I'm sorry miss but I wish you the best for your life after. I know this isn't how you or any one wants their life to end. Still I promise no on else will ever suffer from this place again".

Reloading my crossbow I placed a new Patch on my arm feeling the itch from not changing it sooner. Making my way down a final smaller staircase I was closer to the final level. Richard came on to the radio, "Finn be on your guard Herlun is up to something and be careful the final floor has more traps then the last ones".

As I came to a new corridor they wall were all lined with strange graffiti each saying 'don't listen', 'turn around', or 'find another way but the voice'. 'Looks like someone couldn't take the Corrupt's formula. Maybe Richard would know something about it'. Rubbing my neck I felt really tired looking for a room that wasn't as trashed as the other I slipped inside and blocked the door. Looking around the two-door room I found another body hiding in what looked like a closet. Another woman but she had ash colored skin and you could tell she's been here for a long time. Her skin was cracked, eyes gone, cloths nothing but tattered rags. She had no weapons but next to her sat a little box it was a nice ornate box. It looked like something PB or FP would have sitting in their rooms somewhere.

Opening the box I saw a rectangle like object with what looked it had a smaller version of it over it. Looking inside the box it read Nixlux harmonica, Jake told me of how old people would love to play things like this. He said, 'Dad loved playing the some song you and mom sing to put me to sleep on a harmonica. Dad lost it when we grew older but he said that even a novice could play on like and expert'.

Looking inside I save a folded book at least as big as my fist it held a number of pages each had a short song with a name, and some notes. Blowing inside one of its square chambers to see if it still worked only to hear the nice tune play back. It lightened my mood slightly, Bmo came out of the sling and sat on my lap as I lent on the wall. With his usual smile I started to play the very first song in the book called 'Rye Whiskey'.

Playing the first ten notes until I got a pretty good pattern I went onto play the rest of the song. Playing the song a few times I saw Bmo snoozing on my lap pocketing the harmonica I soon went to sleep as well. I woke up on my side Bmo was poking my face smiling as he did so. Sitting up to regain the feeling in my sore neck I felt and heard the small cracks as I turned it to both sides.

Eating a fist full of pretzels we left the room and continued down to the next stairway. As I turned into the large circular room I stopped right in my tracks I saw something I would have never seen coming but there they were. In front stood three Corrupt Trapsters and behind them around fifteen or twenty regular Corrupt.

"*Sigh* well and here I was thinking you guy's would have learned by now. But it looks like I need to really send it home". Pulling my crossbow and powering up my fist and shout at them, "COME ON IF YOU THINK YOU'RE HARD ENOUGH"! As they all broke in it an attack pattern I stood my ground with a big grin even showing a little teeth.

Jermaine's View

'With everything those two had been through I always though Finn would stick to being and adventurer. I never took it into notice that he would eventually want what any one else would want. The comfort of another the joy of waking up in the morning to see that special someone sleeping peacefully by your side. After Jake came by today I final got the full picture Finn tired three times and each struck out with the women he went after. I would just say he should have toughed it out. But from all the details Jake gave me he tried his best every time. It just ended up being the women he choice. Finn you must have really tried to make things work. Little bro when you get home I know that you will be stronger and no longer care. You will dedicate your life to being your old self. Just be strong until then little bro be strong. Life will be tough even in the best of times'.

Finn's View

I never thought I would go through ten Stack Patch's in one fight because that was tough. Looking around at the shattered skulls or fried eye sockets of some of the Corrupt I couldn't help but be pleased with myself. I fought eighteen regular Corrupt and three golems. Sure the smaller ones took time to kill but the golems nearly trashed me. One nearly broke my arm, another I felt cracked a least two or three of my ribs. Then the last one dislocated my shoulder slightly but that was its downfall. Thanks to my loosened arm I was able to shoot its skull at an odd angle and kill it with one of my heavier bolts. Only things is they can only fit up to ten in a clip but the power they pack is amazing.

Still sore I slipped another two Patch's onto my arm under the one that was still on my arm. Exhaling at the slight relief I collected what they had and left for the final level. Reaching the bottom of the stairs I saw the final level was a straight corridor no turns, side passages, or any kind of side rooms. The hall was painted a murky white there where some places that had green dots or splattered marks.

At the start of the corridor was a statue of a man in a lab coat holding a sign. It read 'always have clean hands while handling the materials of the labs'. Stepping forward I quickly retreated on hearing a click to have the ceiling crash down with a heavy thud. It soon went into a steady rhythm as the smashing ceiling showed no sign of stopping. Looking over at the statue I moved it slightly to see if it was screwed to the floor it wasn't. Moving it under the smashing trap stopping it from hitting the floor allowing me to moved past it. After five steps another trap triggered this one sending swinging blades at me shooting two heavy bolts at their supports they came loss and crashed to the sidewalls.

Soon a stream of gray liquid came from a sidewall and from traps before I knew it was acid. Throwing a volt grenade the explosion knocked out the acids spraying system allowing me to move on. Half way down the corridor another two traps trigger they were giant bear traps. Using my levitation I hovered over the trap with only a few seconds to stay in the air. Quickly changing bolt types to explosives I aimed at the two traps smashing into one another. Firing three explosive bolts at both walls and the floor.

With that trap out of the way I moved on the next trap caught me off guard they were buzz saws. But the first three really got me one clipped my left thigh, the next just tore my shirt and jacket, while the last made a straight cut along my fact. I knew it was bad because everything I inhaled through my nose it hurt. Touching the exposed skin I felt for an instant the muscles in my cheek and nose. I wouldn't know the full extend until I looked in a mirror. But from the way it hurt it was going to scar. It was just another wound that was just annoying me a this point. Throwing two-volt grenades and firing five explosive bolts, I knocked out all of the remaining traps. Finally at the door I pushed it open to see a clean wood lined floor to a lab that would have put PB's one to shame.

It had more room, more supplies showing inside of it, and a lot more formula's scattered around the three separated rooms. One looked like it was for examining people, another for mixing and putting things together, and the last looked like an unkept library. There in the library I saw the shadow of a man sitting in front a desk. That was when the radio came on, "SO you are here now my young lab rat complete the final examination. Lets test your sense of belief shale we or maybe something more important has yet to reveal itself to you my little rat".

I felt Bmo jump free from his sling but my attention was still on Herlun if I was to get out I had to kill him for my freedom. Kicking in the door I went up behind him and turned him around. What I saw was a man with orange skin missing half his face and a hole where his left ear should have been.

Then looked at his chest I saw the nametag read, 'Hello I am Richard'. My eyes widened as Herlun came on the radio saying, "Finn my little rat you shouldn't be so trusting you made me fill with such hope but now your just another rat caught in a bigger trap". Herlun voice changed in mid sentence to Richard's and before I could react I sharp pain struck my neck.

I felt my nerves jerk and burn at the instant pain and once more I felt the crush of the dark telling me to accept it with open arms.

So you decide a week or five reviews your choice. Still like always thanks for reading oh I got word that Jester has started to open his eyes. So hopefully he'll be back in at least one week.
