Not Dead Yet

Chapter 10: Oversoul

"Apollo is gonna die?!" Past repeated, as he turned over to Present, "Present! What did you do?!"

"Oh, it's always me, isn't it?!"

"Yes! It is!"

"Fine, you're right, I placed a Soul Spider and an RPG spell on him."

"Argh! You idiot! Quick we gotta go save him!" Future ordered, as she tried getting up.

"No! Don't move! The magic from the Caduceus hasn't fully healed you yet!"

"Then how am I supposed to fight?"

"You won't, Present and-"

"No! I want to fight! You guys obviously took out my brother... So I need to make it up to you."

"Tch... Present, what do you think?"

"Does it really matter what I think? I mean, you're the one who li- Mmrf!"

"I told you, he was LYING."

"Ugh, whatever... Hey, where did Future go?"

"Huh...? Oh god..."

"What?"

"Quick! Teleport to Apollo!"

"Ugh... Is this... the end?"

Soul Spider used Soul Blast!

"Ack!"

"No! I won't... Let... You... Die!" Future said as she is blocking the blast with her scythe. "A-Apollo... Get up... and help me!"

"Huh?! R-Right! Wait... Why aren't we fighting RPG style?"

"Because I disabled it." Present answered, as he is playing the violin to encourage Future.

"Dammit Future! You had to get yourself into trouble! Arondight!" Past yells as his sword appears out of nowhere. And he begins climbing up the leg of the spider.

"W-Wait up! Don't leave without me!" Apollo exclaimed as he ran up the leg opposite to the one Past is climbing.

"Meet with me at the top!"

"Alright!"

Past and Apollo both met two lost souls on their way up. A good few slashes really did finish them easily.

"Okay, I'm here. What do we do?" Apollo asked.

"You see that star on the head?"

"Yeah."

"We'll stick our swords in there!"

"Alright! Let's do this!"

Past and Apollo carefully stepped their way over to the head of the huge spider. They got their swords ready and...

"Argh!"

"Ack! F-Future!" Present exclaimed.

"Future! Apollo! Can I trust you to this?"

"If you trust me enough to let me know your real name..."

"I'm Past, Nice to meet you! Now, yes or no?!"

"I got this!"

"Thanks!" Past yelled as he jumped off the spider to help his two partners.

"Okay... I gotta aim this right... Hiya! Damn! Missed! Here we go again! Hiya! Dammit! Why?!" Apollo swore out loud.

"Apollo! If you don't do this, we'll all die!" Apollo didn't know who said that, but he didn't care, he was finally able to keep the Chain of Justice steady over the star.

"Grah...GRRRRAhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Apollo yelled, as he fell off the spider after stabbing it. "Ack! I'm gonna fall!"

"Present! Get Apollo! I'll tend to Future!" Past yelled through all the action.

"You got it! Apollo! You're mine!" Present stretched his arms forward, jumped forward, and barely caught Polly.

"T-That was close..." Apollo whispered as he got up and started running towards Past and Future.

"Go! Go! Go!" Present yelled to encourage Apollo.

"Okay, **Huff** We're here, what now?" Polly asked, with no answer.

"Watch out! Lost Souls!" Past informed.

"Here we go! You ready, Present?!" Apollo asked.

"Yup!"

"Let's do this!"

Present and Apollo start killing tons of Lost Souls all over, trying to protect Past and Future. They both got tired, but they kept going, and going, and it never stopped.

"C'mon! When is this going to end?!" Present turned to Apollo.

"Get going."

"Huh?"

"Get Past and Future, and get out of here!" Apollo yelled, proving himself to Present.

"You got it. You aren't gonna die on us, are you?"

"Not when I'm so close. Now get outta here!" Present ran with Past and Future, as Apollo stood in the middle with Lost Souls running towards him. "Heh... You guys ready to have fun? C'mon, I'm right here! Come and get me!" Apollo yelled, as tons of Lost Souls started to fight.

"Finally, here."

"This is where we need to go?"

"Yeah. I have some business with a certain person."

"So... That person is in an insane asylum?"

"Yup. But he doesn't deserve to be here."

"I know who you are talking about..."

"Yeah. Let's find him."

"Wait! He's there in the window!"

"Alright!"

"Ho... Sti ouy..."

"I know it's in your name, but don't be crazy."

"Fine..."

"Been a while. Crazyblah."
