Chapter 20
We charged the giant skeleton, and it swung its bow downward to try and hit us. "SCATTER!" I yelled, and we ran in different directions. The skeleton missed us and yelled in rage.
Wisty and I had a silent exchange, then I flanked off to the left of the monster while she took the front. I motioned to Steve, and he ran behind it. We were both going to attack it at once, making it confused, and then get Steve to stab it in the back and kill it. I tried to get that message through to him (using a lot of exaggerated hand gestures), but he just looked at me all confused, like "I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO."
I quickly shot him an annoyed glare before drawing my sword and swinging at the skeleton's leg. It roared and turned to me, but Wisty yelled "HEY! OVER HERE!" and it went back to her. We kept this up, and finally Steve seemed to understand. He unsheathed his sword and jumped toward the creature. Unfortunately, the skeleton ducked and Steve went flying past it. he landed next to Wisty, who rolled her eyes and shot me a glare, as if she were asking why did you bring him along?
I facepalmed and Wisty and I continued attacking the creature. It was obvious that Wisty was getting tired though. Her attacks were getting slower and she was moving sluggishly. I was losing energy as well. We couldn't keep this up much longer.
"Steve!" I called. "Any time now would be good!"
He hauled himself to his feet and winced. "I think I hurt my arm!"
"Just kill it!" Wisty yelled, turning around to glare at him. The skeleton fired an arrow in her direction, and I screamed a warning, but she turned around too late. The large arrowhead pierced her stomach, and I almost threw up as it emerged through her back and pinned her to the ground. She let out an earsplitting shriek and her sword fell from her hand. Her face was frozen in a look of shock.
I stared at Wisty.
It killed her.
Rage flooded my mind and my vision was suddenly tinted purple. All rational thoughts disappeared from my mind and I charged the skeleton.

Allen, Jay, Mokona, Ash, and Omega walked through the partially collapsed tunnels. They'd decided to take the bomb to Riley to see if she could figure out what it was. Allen seemed pretty pissed off that he couldn't figure it out, but they had no choice. He'd studied the thing for hours and still couldn't make sense of it.
Omega was still acting like a little kid. He kept stopping every time they passed a door and wanted to look for the "secret code thingy". Occasionally, parts of the ceiling would fall, and more than once Jay had to pull him away to keep him from getting hit again. That explosion must have spread really far, Ash thought.
They eventually came to a door with a keypad. Mokona punched in a couple numbers, and the wall split open. The ceiling shook, spilling grey dust, and they scrambled through in a panic.
Ash looked around and spotted a boring-looking house that was painted a dark grey. Ash knew that it was much less boring inside, however.
Omega looked around. "This place looks boring. Can we leave now?"
"No," Allen said, walking up to the house, the others followed after him. Omega pouted and ran to catch up.
Mokona ran the doorbell, and the door swung open. Riley smiled up at the five from her wheelchair. "Hey guys. What brings you here?"
Allen held up the bomb. "We don't know what this is. It blew up the base. I was trying to figure out what it is-"
"But he can"t," Ash finished. Allen glared at her, but she ignored him.
Riley backed away from the door to let them in. "Come on in, guys." She held out her hand for the bomb, and Allen gave it to her with a sigh.
The five filed in through the door and were greeted with the usual blinking lights and dials mixed with dark Gothic-style furniture, but something was different. Mainly the redheaded girl and black-haired boy sitting on the couch and reading comic books, and the really tall white-eyed man playing with the control panel.
Ash marched up to Alex and Peter and crossed her arms. "Care to explain what you're doing here?"

"Things can't always be your way!"
"Mitch, they went to see Riley, and she could be an-"
"Enemy agent? Adam, she spies on Percy for us! The rest of us trust her, why can't-"
The doors to the meeting room suddenly swung open and a girl marched in. The light from the mini skylight in the ceiling reflected off the armor on her shoulders and the copper band in her hair, almost turning her blond hair the colour of gold. A sword hung from her belt, hitting her black leggings with every step. Her gloved hand rested on the sword's hilt, and her combat boots clomped on the floor as she slowly walked to the table that the YouTubers were crowded around.
Mitch and Adam froze in the middle of their argument. The girl glanced back and forth between the two of them and rolled her eyes. "Will you two ever stop arguing?"
Both men gulped and sank back into their seats. "Sorry, Presea," they mumbled at the same time.
She heaved a sigh. "Boys. This is why the female YouTubers should be in charge of your meetings. Anyway, we have new orders. The boss says we have to evacuate."
DanTDM stood up. "Um, are you sure? I mean, we seem to be perfectly safe here-"
Presea held up a hand to stop him. He clamped his mouth shut. "Riley just checked in with Percy," she continued. "She reported to the boss that Percy is planning another attack. With Allen gone, we only have two people to hold up the waterproof shield, and we will likely drown because the shield will shatter."
Some of the YouTubers exchanged worried glances. Nike didn't look concerned at all though. If anything, she looked insulted. "What, do you think Harvey and I aren't powerful enough to hold up the barrier? We did that exact thing once in the Aether, so we could do it this time."
Presea shrugged. "Well, I think you could do it. Just the boss doesn't."
Nike sighed. "Whatever."
"Everyone had better pack up real quick," Presea said. "I'll contact Mokona and let him know that we're leaving."
She whirled around and sauntered out of the room, closing the doors behind her.
