Chapter 8
With the guards piled up by the entryway, the 5 moved on to their next mission, sneaking down the hole.
"So what's the plan Diaz? Charge our way through and hope no one notices?" Janna, who was feeling frustrated at the fact that there seemed to be no hope getting through, was letting the rest know.
"Well Tom, think you can cause a distraction?" Marco and Star said, with their thoughts being in perfect unison. "We could really use the help."
"Okay, that Blood Moon Dance really did a number on you two." Tom's own, what he thought to be internal, thoughts came out, "But fine, I know my chances are through, with you at least. I'll do it."
"I'll stay with him!" Both Janna and Jackie exclaimed at the same time. This resulted in a confused stare-down between the two.
"Whatever, just gives enough time to slide into the hole. When we get down, you can follow and seal it up behind us, or stay behind, your choice." Marco said this with a nod, and smiled when he continued speaking, "But Jackie, whatever you choose, we will talk once we get back to my house."
"Okay Marco." Jackie said this and gave Marco a short, friendly hug, but there was a stiffness to it.
"Star, listen close. Once Tom, Jackie, and Janna get a distraction going, we are going into the hole. Don't get caught in any fights, we are just going to run, got it?"
With a reassuring nod, Star and Marco got ready to run. Tom then flew down behind some of the monsters standing guard in the corners and knocked them out. Jackie and Janna then went to another corner, slid down and did the same, then they started making noise. Which drew the attention of all the guards in the room, and then the three met on one side of the room, opposite of Star and Marco. That's when the two ran. They ran, slid under the big corn mill and hung off the edge, they called out to Tom, "Make your choice now! We're going down!" They then put their backs and feet against opposite walls next to each other and slid down. That was when the giant mill fell and plugged the hole above them.
A/N: Glad people are enjoying my one output of my anxiety about the future episodes, I am seriously dreading what may happen, so this is my only output of denial I have. CURSE PEOPLE THINKING THAT ADULTS (MORE SPECIFICALLY AN ADULT TO BE) CAN'T ENJOY CARTOONS! I mean, fanfiction is seriously underrated, we literally pump out novels based on a show because we enjoy. Wouldn't you agree that is pretty fucking amazing? Anyway I digress. Let's just keep doing what we can to survive the Star Nuke coming in February. See you all in the emotional wastes!
