"Anything?" Tooth shivered as the wind blew past her.
"Nothing, the riddle led us here, and there's nothing here!" Sera cried angrily, "Why is there nothing!"
"Maybe there's somethin' we're not seein'.." Bunny was searching every nook and cranny he could think the next riddle was.
"We've been spending all day doing this, and we've gotten no where, we're about to run out of time!" Pitch growled, "We're about to be out of time, and lose Jack to some maniac!"
Sandy put an image of a frozen thermometer above his head.
"No, I will not 'chill' Sandman!" Pitch seethed.
"Pitch!" Tooth actually slapped Pitch, which calmed him down.
"Thank you."
Tooth smiled, and made a thoughtful face, "We need to think about this logically, the riddle may have been a fake out just to make us go here, or it is true and we're just not seeing it..but we have to hurry, the Manny will rise any minute!"
"What we going to do?" North looked to the sky, "Maybe we can ask Manny?"
"I don't think he would answer.." Sera mumbled.
"Then we're running out of time.."
(Unknown Forest)
In lightning quick speed, Fear spread his fingers on his hands in a claw motion, and white covered them both fully, each of his fingers growing into claws with deadly points, the tips of the claws looked to be dipped in a sickly green poison. "If you want to fight, be my...GUEST!" he screams, and swipes his claws in complicated swirls and slashes, poison runes of a sickly green color appearing in midair, and dripping down like water on glass.
All he-Jack decides to call this strange man Chains until he can find out his real name- does is sidestep and vanish, his voice leaving ominous words in midair: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, Owner would be so ashamed, Fear. You really must try harder. Please, challenge me. I beg you."
"YAAAAH!" Fear screams in rage and he calls in a guttural voice, "Xi mei wanshe huang!"
Poison death fire.
Flames in the same sickly green color appear around Chains and they sputter out, Chains' chains swirl in loops and arcs around his unharmed form. Chains calls out, "Owner, aid me! Fe nuo xhi, me longh!"
Chains of darkness, obey!
"Me longh, wang ni lo has man!"
Chains, wrap him, but don't kill him.
Fear tries to fight back. "Wanshe domei xi mei, yaman!"
Poison of my ancestors, attack!
"Fail. Me longh, shi man sai ni wanshe! Shi man sai!"
Chains, eliminate his poison. Eliminate!
"My...my poison! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"
"I have simply...made the playing field more…"
"Even," Chains whispers. "Me longh, wani-mah shi gllamana he no me sai! Me longh, huang to me nahi-nahi swa! Nah fe nuo xhi, me longh. Yan mani."
Chains, take his form and bind him tight. Chains of darkness, keep him still and silent. You shall always obey me, chains of darkness. Well done.
Fear lays beaten on the floor. Chains stands above him, shaking his head. With a single swipe, Chains had Fear's ankles wrapped, and starts to drag him to the nearest tree.
Chains hoists him up into the tree, feet first, and once he decided they were high enough, ties the chains around the tree.
Fear hang upside down, arms by his head, suspended in the air by his ankles. Everything hurt.
Chains wiped his hands, and shakes his head, "Owner will be so disappointed when he finds out you betrayed him.."
But Fear's gaze wasn't on Chains, it was off in the distance, and he was mouthing words. Chains started to get closer to the bush that Fear was staring at, all while Fear was mouthing words like mad.
Chains reached out his hands to the bush, when Fear finally shouted out, "RUN!"
And from the bush, Jack-who had been watching the entire time-like an idiot-ran. But, his mistake was already made by staying, when Chains sent out chains from his palm, that wrapped around Jack, and knocked him to the floor.
They wrapped completely around Jack, and Chains grabbed the end of the chain, and started walking away, Jack being dragged behind him, his staff long discarded.
Jack watched his staff, it was leaning against a far tree, he hopes that someone would find it and save him.
But no such luck for him.
Chains saw Jack looking at the staff, he smirked and went to the tree it lay, grabbed it, and carried it along with him.
"Why Chains!?" Jack thrashed.
Chains looked back to Jack, "It's not Chains..
"It's Pain"
Jack's face scrunched up in confusion, Chains-er-Pain, was another of these dudes, that ad the same problem as Fear, but he was much more violent, and sadistic.
"Why are you doing this..'Pain'."
"It's my job brat, now shut it and keep quiet, we'll be to my hide out very soon..and don't think about doing to me what you did to Fear..or...there will be...consequences.." Pain smirked sadistically.
Jack paled, and kept his mouth shut tight, i hope that someone would save him..somehow..someway. He looked back at Fear, scared, a look of agony on his face.
(Back with Fear)
I've been here for hours..or days..or weeks! Or maybe minutes..I can't tell anymore. I'm too weak to save myself..
Fear swayed, for hours, he tried to shout out for anyone, but no one was there to hear him scream.
But in the silence of it all, he heard a...crack..and then another..there was someone there.
"Help!" Fear's voice was hoarse was yelling for help, but he shouted anyway.
Out of the tree's, came a face, peeking through a large bush that was covering the entrance to where Fear was.
His hair was red, his eyes were red, and well..you all already know what he looks like, because..well, you've already met him.
"Hello there, I'm Aiden," he burned the thicket that was still there, and walked through the opening.
"Can..you...get me..down?" Fear rasped.
"Sure," Aiden sent a fireball at the chains that were holding Fear on the tree, and he fell to the ground with a thump.
He rubbed his head, and waited for everything to go back into shook his head, and looked up to Aiden. Spiders were starting to crawl out of the forest, and coming closer to Fear.
Aiden watched in astonishment at all the spiders, as they went onto Fear's fingers-the claws still there-and melded with the white gloves. Slowly, the claws turned back into fingers, and the white gloves remained.
Free from his 'owner', Fear had his full power back to him.
"Do..do you know a kid named Jack by any chance?" It was a long shot, but he had to ask.
"As a matter of fact, I do, he's my best friend," Aiden shrugged.
"Okay, that's good, does he have like, a family or something? Because if so, I need to warn them, he is in terrible danger!"
Aiden then looked worried, but, for some reason, Fear saw a flick or amusement, but it flickered away faster that he could realize it.
"What happened?"
"A sadistic maniac names Pain took him."
"And...why was he with you?" Aiden raised an eyebrow.
"Umm..I was..just..taking his to his family.."
"Uh-huh..nothing else?" Aiden put his hands on his hips stubbornly, he had learned a thing or two from Jack.
"Yep..that's it!" Fear could feel worry growing on his, worry for Jack, and this kid who could rat him out.
"Can you take me too his family?"
"'Course, follow me," AIden gestured for Fear to follow, and he did.
(Unknown)
Jack remembered blacking out, then waking up in a black room, tied in the same chains from earlier, on a chair.
Pain was leaning against one of the walls, examining his fingers. Everything was still a bit blurry for Jack, but slowly everything went back to focus.
But this time, he didn't know what was real or not. The room he was in, seemed like it was void, and there were twelve different walls, all fourth dimensional. It was all brain wrangling, and Jack tried to wrap his head around it all but with no avail.
"Urrg.." Jack groaned, he felt sore all over-oh, that's right-he was dragged across the floor for who know how long.
"So, Frosty here decided to wake up, eh?" Pain's red slits looked up at Jack.
"Umm.."
"So, my owners didn't care what happened to merch, they just wanted it..how you say..'alive'..and too me," Pain smirked, his spiked teeth gleaming, "Alive means nearly dead.."
"This, is going to be fun"
Right, summer is only a few weeks away! So close guys! Hope you enjoyed, and till next time!
