Vega Strife- That's right! Nothing!
Slayer- I'm not going to even pretend that I understand what you're going at here…
Nightmare- Me nether…
Psycho, Katie- WEEEEEEEEE! NOTHING! (Stare off into space along with Vega)
Slayer- Aw, come on! Psh! (Shakes his head as he leaves)
Nightmare- (Sigh)…….
Chapter 10: Corroder VS Slayer
Slayer entered the stopped fan port behind Alyssa to find that there was a small room with a fat piece of machinery in the center of it. He looked around and could feel something deep under his armor… Something dark. "Alyssa…" He began. The girl, walking to the door, spun around and shrugged.
"Slayer! What it is it? You've already defeated-" She didn't finish for a hand clasped around her mouth, muffling her screams for help. Corroder laughed as though it were a joke.
"You are a foolish girl! You won't win that easily!" He cried. Slayer armed himself with the HellRaiser and put it in front of himself.
"Let her go! Fight me instead!" He called. Corroder gave it a small moment to think and looked at the Black Knight.
"Fine…" He said as he went to let Alyssa go, but aimed the nozzle at her face. "But you won't live to see this day, girl!" He cried as he sprayed. Lucky for Alyssa that she was ready. She ducked out of the way and ran to the door, opening it and hitting Corroder in the mask with it, running down the stairs and into the darkness. Slayer smiled.
"Looks like someone doesn't like you…" The Black Knight said. Corroder turned, nozzle ready.
"SHUT UP!" He cried as he shot a charged ball of acid at him. Slayer smirked as he turned his sword and let the acid ball hit the flat end of the sword, letting it spray harmlessly into the night air.
"You truly are the most pathetic Subordinate I have had the pleasure of destroying!" Slayer called as wind charged into his sword and he reared back like a baseball player. "WIND CAPTURE!" He cried as he flung the sword, letting wind energy fly and wrap around the Subordinate, like a lasso on a cow's head.
"ARGH! LET ME FREE!" He cried as Slayer flung two more. Slayer jumped back to a corner of the room and allow flames to absorb themselves into his armor.
"Alyssa…. Find that last spirit and hurry…"
Alyssa ran down the stair only to meet with a Spirit of the dead, haunting the halls in its wake. She dodged it as it tried to latch onto her, and continued to run into a door nearby on the wall to her immediate left. As she entered the room, she found a Lavender Water on the bed and picked it up, leaving for the diary that laid incomplete on the desk nearby. When she wrote her name into the diary, she returned outside of the room and started to search for the body in need of one of the last items. Alyssa found a large room with occasional boards linking one spot to another. She carefully crossed the first one with no problem, but as she came near the end of the second one, she fell into the murky waters below.
Katie: NOOOO! YUCKIES!
Vega: -.-' Can I continue yet?
Everyone: …
Vega: Thanks…
She swam to the stone patio at the beginning of the board crossing maze and latched on, dragging herself out of the water. As she did, however, a something else swam up behind her and grabbed her in the leg, making her scream…
Slayer was as full of fire energy as a fat man on thanksgiving dinner and could not hold any more. "Here goes!" He shouted as he rushed Corroder and leapt into the air, sword over his head in a Braver move. "HELLRAISER!" He cried as he came down, letting his sword burst into flames. He hit Corroder with full force of the HellRaiser and roared out in rage to finish the move. A Dome of flames licked everything in its path before shrinking and bursting into a pillar of fire, incinerating everything in its way as it expanded. The Dark Knight jumped back and looked on at his work, his smirk disappearing as he saw the dust and smoke clear. Corroder stood, unscratched, but burned beyond all recognition.
"Your HellRaiser attack won't work, Slayer! I have my Spirit of Power protected well!" He said as he shot off an acid ball at Slayer, hitting him and sending him back.
Alyssa regained her composer and looked down to see a freakish frog covered in horns and sharp teeth grinning at her from atop a skeleton body. Then hopped along another, and another until a whole family of Demon Frogs were there at her feet. One opened its mouth and let its tongue fly out at her so fast, it was nothing but a blur of light red and gray. She moved quickly as the other Demon Frogs shot off their tongues at her and she made it to the shawl that stood at the end of the path of boards. As she stepped off of the last board, it fell into the water, smacking a few Demon Frogs unconscious or dead. Alyssa grabbed the shawl and ran into the gate nearby, hurrying to the body only to meet more Demon Frogs with their evil smiles and horns and seemingly six eyes apiece. They shot off their tongues at her and she moved back to the corner of the passage, only to meet more Demon Frogs hopping and crawling through the gate. She shrieked in fear. "SLAYER!"
He opened his eyes to hear a familiar scream. "Alyssa!" He cried and made an effort to get up, but was knocked back down by Corroder's foot to his really wounded wounded right shoulder, making him wince in pain.
"Awwww…. Let your girlfriend have fun with my pet Demon Frogs! They're only deadly!" He said with an evil cackle. Slayer coughed up blood as he looked up at the Subordinate.
"…..D…Damn you! Damn you…. To Hell!" He stuttered. Corroder leaned down to the wounded soldier and smirked.
"And you think this is Heaven?" He asked as he used the same foot and kicked Slayer across the face, watching the blood fly from his face and kicking the helmet off, exposing his bare face. "And you are the Hero of Subordinates… I pity you to be beaten by me…" He said as he shook his head and kicked Slayer in the face again.
Alyssa was in shear terror as more and more Demon Frogs hopped and crawled to her feet, licking her with their tongues and starting to hop at her face, like little spiked cannon balls. She moved out of their ways and started to run across the families of Demon Frogs, squishing them and getting hit by their tongues and horny bodies. As she neared the end, she hopped down to the dead body and threw the item on its body, letting the Spirit float over to her and looking at the army of Demon Frogs that progressed to her. The Spirit opened its mouth and seemed to scream in rage. One by one, each Demon Frog started to bloat up and explode. Entrails flew as well as horns and tongues and other little parts. She looked to the Spirit that smiled at her and opened its mouth. "Thank you, young Rooder…" It said as it floated into Heaven. Alyssa ran to the stairs to rejoin Slayer.
"SLAYER!"
Corroder hit the ground and writhed in pain. Slayer got up slowly and looked on with a sense of enjoyment as his enemy cried in pain. "Seems that your Spirit of power if freed…" He said as the door opened and Alyssa rushed in with her mystic bow and an arrow cocked in the bowstring. She aimed at the Subordinate with a charged arrow, Aimed into the sky and fired. Slayer, damaged as he was, jumped up with the arrow. A beam of Holy Light shot down from Heaven with light so intense, it was frying Corroder to a crisp. The arrow and the Black Knight ell from the heavens and at a rapid speed. Without a second thought, Slayer took his sword and plunged down faster then the arrow, slicing through the Subordinate and continuously slashing him in different areas and jumped back, letting the arrow incinerate him to nothing but a black spot on the floor. The arrow emitted a blast than knocked Slayer back to a wall and upon further inspection, his Black Knight armor was charred. Alyssa, happy with the current victory, looked to Slayer with a smile and saw the damage.
"Slayer? Are you…" She started. His fleshy side smiled and he chuckled.
"I've fought for the Light… Now it's gonna kill me… I sure do know how to choose my sides, don't I?" He asked as he closed his eyes and sighed. Alyssa ran to him.
"You're not going to die!" She cried as she looked at him in the eyes. A red spot appeared in the one empty socket and he smiled…
"So much like her… My Annabelle…" He said. "You truly are her reincarnate…" He said as his eye faded. Alyssa let a sob.
"No, Jonathan! Don't leave me…" He grasped her hand.
"I'm not going anywhere…. Just to sleep…" He said as his eye reappeared again.
"Go return the Shawl to Dorothy and Albert… But then, I'll be able to walk…" He said and is eye faded into slumber. She wiped an oncoming tear and went to the room that knocked her out before. The elderly woman was on the floor crying.
"Albert? Albert, is that you?" She asked as Alyssa wiped the shawl over her eyes to dry her bloodied tears. The blood evaporated and her eyes opened. "I….. I can see…….. I CAN SEE!" She cried as Albert walked into the room.
"Mother? Where are you?" He called. Dorothy rushed to his side and held him, bringing him to the floor.
"Albert, do you remember this?" She asked as she let him touch the shawl. " It's the shawl that you knitted for me!" She said as she wiped his eyes. Again, the blood evaporated and he held Dorothy tight.
"MOTHER!" He cried in tears as he held her. The two stood and a light appeared from Heaven and started to take them up. "Thank you, Alyssa!" Albert called out as did Dorothy. Alyssa waved to them.
"Good bye, Albert! Good bye Dorothy!" She called. When they finally disappeared into the light, it returned to darkness and the door opened again. Alyssa quickly turned to the door to see Slayer limping through .
"What did I miss?" He asked as she rushed him and embraced him.
"Jonathan!" She cried as she held him tight. She looked at him in the red vaporous eyes and seemed to move closer to his dead face, as though he weren't dead. He found himself moving slowly to hers as well until the room went dark and they fell to the ground.
"HANG ONTO ME!" He cried. Alyssa clung onto his armor in a hug, as he hugged her, finding themselves transported to the Hamilton House…
Vega: Awww! They were so close! SO FRIGGIN' CLOSE! Ah, well… Looks like they'll have to finish their business sometime later… R&R Please… Hope you guys are enjoying this!
