Horizon was on the ground, clutching his stomach in pain. They only had three floors to go, and they killed the last of the opposing demigods, but Evangelyne's water broke and now she's having the baby, and Horizon can feel every bit of the painful moment.
"We...have to...move," said Horizon. He tried to get up but he clutched his stomach and fell to the ground, screaming. "CRA DAMN IT THAT HURTS!"
"Dally, carry him please?" asked Yugo.
"Sure thing," said Dally. He grabbed Horizon and lifted him up. Horizon screamed again.
"WHY THE HELL DOES IT HURT SO MUCH?!" yelled Horizon.
Evangelyne was screaming in pain. She knew she had to push the baby or she wasn't going to make it, but she didn't want to. Not with Adamai in front of her.
"Go away!" she yelled. Adamai simply smirked.
"You have two options right now Evangelyne," said Adamai. "You either let me help you and have that baby of yours."
Evangelyne gasped as she felt a blade press against her throat.
"Or you die," said a camouflaged Toxxine.
Evangelyne yelled in pain and began pushing the baby out.
Meanwhile, Horizon was screaming again, digging his nails into Percedal's back
"IT LITERALLY FEELS LIKE MY ENTRAILS ARE BEING PUSHED OUT OF MY ASS! It fucking hurts!" he yelled. He was clearly in a lot of agony. Dally sighed.
"Not even Evangelyne complained this much," he said.
"Cut the guy some slack," said Rubilax. "If you had to go through all that, you'd be screaming as well."
Horizon was screaming once again.
"I SWEAR TO CRA IF EVANGELYNE DOESN'T STOP PUSHING I'M GOING TO TEAR SOMEBODY'S HAND OFF!" he yelled. Flopin looked a little nervous, as did Elely. Ruel went to them.
"Don't worry kids, he's fine," said Ruel. "He's just going through some things. It'll end."
"Alright.." said Flopin.
Moments passed. Evangelyne screamed as she pushed once again. Adamai had a smile on his face.
"You're almost done Eva," said Adamai. "One more push ought to do it. Now push!"
She let out a scream as she pushed one more time, successfully birthing the baby. The baby was a little Cra boy with jade green eyes. He was crying. Evangelyne picked him up and held him in her arms. Adamai smirked.
Horizon let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness it stopped," he said. He then widened his eyes. "It stopped...oh no."
He quickly jumped off of Percedal and began running upstairs.
Adamai let out a smirk as Evangelyne held her newborn baby. He looked over at Toxxine and nodded. Toxxine raised her blades upwards. Horizon hurried to the end of the staircase as soon as possible. He made it to the thirteenth floor. He began looking around and he spotted something terrible. It was Evangelyne, holding her baby, widening her eyes in horror as Toxxine prepared to kill her. Horizon quickly grabbed his bow, created a paralysis arrow and fired it at Toxxine. It hit Toxxine in the arm. He then charged at Adamai, the fury evident in his eyes. Adamai smirked and attempted to strike Horizon with his tail. Horizon managed to successfully grab the tail and swing it around before throwing Adamai into a pillar. He fell to his knees. Horizon turned around and hugged Evangelyne with tears in his eyes. Evangelyne was a little surprised and frightened, but she felt better realizing it was Horizon. She gave Horizon a hug and a few pats to the back. Horizon looked up at her with tears running down his face.
"So much had happened in such a short time! I began to think-" said Horizon. He looked at Evangelyne and smiled. "You're alright."
Evangelyne smiled and placed a free hand on Horizon's cheek.
"I'm alright," she said.
Horizon let out a small smile before turning around to find an angry Adamai. Horizon's face turned serious and he stood upwards. Adamai let out a low Dragon growl. It was at that moment that the Brotherhood of the Tofu arrived. Yugo ran in between them, looking at Adamai.
"Ad, this has to stop!" he yelled. "You were willing to hurt our friends! Why?!"
"Oh, Yugo," said Adamai. "You never could see the bigger picture. Never had, probably never will. Sometimes sacrifices must be made for the greater good."
"SHUT UP!" yelled Horizon. He charged at Adamai and punched him in the gut. Adamai let out a low growl and retaliated with a kick to the gut. Horizon was sent backwards, but he quickly recovered and took out his axe. He threw it at Adamai, who flicked it away. Horizon recalled the axe, then proceeded to tackle Adamai. He began punching Adamai about five times before Yugo attempted to restrain him. Horizon stepped back.
"Let go of me Yugo!" yelled Horizon. He pried Yugo off of him, and threw him away before going to punch his gut. Adamai grabbed the fist and tried to use his other fist to punch Horizon. Horizon grabbed the fist and the two of them were attempting to push each other back. It was starting a bit normal, then their efforts began to break the tower apart. Adamai chuckled.
"Not even Dally could put up this much of a fight. You're a strong opponent."
Horizon began stepping forward, pushing Adamai back a little. Horizon's body was beginning to be consumed by fire. Horizon let out yells of anger as he was pushing Adamai back. His fire burned brighter when Horizon let out one final yell and sent a knee to Adamai's gut before kicking him away. Suddenly, Horizon was hit by a blue blast that sent him crashing into a wall. He fell to the ground in a lot of pain.
"Horizon!" yelled Evangelyne. Horizon groaned and looked up at the one who fired the blast. It was none other than Oropo.
"Once again, I have to do everything myself," he said. Adamai stood up and wiped the blood off his mouth. "Had your fill Adamai?"
"More than enough," said Adamai. Oropo looked back at Horizon.
"Young Horizon," said Oropo. "You've grown up. You remind me of your mother.."
"SHUT UP!" yelled Horizon. "MY MOTHER WAS A GREAT PARENT! KEEP HER NAME OUT OF YOUR FILTHY MOUTH, BEFORE I MAKE YOU ENDURE THE SLOWEST DEATH!"
"My my, such a temper. That won't do at all," said Oropo. "Looks like you're going to have to go home and think about what you said."
"What?"
A large portal opened behind Horizon. Horizon widened his eyes. He began to be sucked into the portal. He drove his sword into the ground, but even that effort would prove futile. Horizon looked back at Evangelyne.
"I'll be back for you!" yelled Horizon. "I promise!"
The sword broke and Horizon was sent through the portal. The portal closed and Oropo chuckled.
"Grab the children," said Oropo. Adamai teleported and grabbed all three of the children. Elely tried to get away, but failed. The baby began to cry. Evangelyne had tears in her eyes.
"Can we kill the Brotherhood of the Tofu?" asked Adamai.
"No. Put them in the cells underneath the tower," said Oropo. "Let's see how long they can survive."
Adamai did as he was instructed and teleported all of them to a cell. He looked back at Oropo.
"And the children?" asked Adamai.
"Welcome them home, but.. punish Flopin for escaping," said Oropo. He then left. Adamai tossed Elely away, then put the baby somewhere safe. He then smirked at Flopin, who was crawling back in fear. Adamai smirked and raised his claws. The torture soon began.
