It took practically the whole for everyone to finally reach the mountain itself.
They had to fight tons of hoards of demons to get through.
By the time they got to the road up the mountain, the moon was starting to rise towards the sun.
"We have to get to the mountain before the eclipse," said Ben.
"Damn right we do!" yelled Desmond. "Everyone run!"
Everyone was tired, beaten, and out of breathe.
But yet no one was complaining.
The fate of the world rested in their hands for about the next few minutes or hour.
They all took on deep breath and began to run up the spiral pathway left there on the mountain.
"Besides," Ben said to himself as he ran. "Mal's up there. I have no idea what Finn wanted with her, but if he laid a hand on her, I will rip his heart out."
It took everyone about a half an hour to finally make it up to the top.
The only ones not out of breathe were Carlos and Evie, who rode on Inferno's back.
Inferno never ran out of breathe. He was a demon dog.
Everyone stood in front of an entrance to a dark cave.
"This must be headquarters," said Jay.
"Finn must be in here," said Layla.
"Along with Mal, Belfire," said Princess Love.
"A possibly Chernabog," said Horgarath.
"Come on guys," said Desmond lighting a blue fireball in his hand. "We're going in."
"Hold on man!" yelled Shen. "What if this place is booby trapped?"
"We need to go in if…" Desmond began to say before Ben shushed him.
"What is it?" he asked him.
"I hear something," said Ben. "From inside the cave."
Everyone quieted down and listened.
Pretty soon they all could hear it. It was the sound of crying.
"It's Belfire!" yelled Ben. "He has to be crying!"
"Then we're going in!" yelled Carlos patting Inferno on the back.
Everyone yelled and ran inside the pitch-black cave.
Suddenly, once everyone was inside, the entrance behind them was demolished, leaving no way out.
"Uh oh," said Trevor.
"I think this was a trap," said Skylar.
"Wait!" yelled Eddie. "I hear that crying again!"
Everyone listened and heard the crying now louder.
And they realized it wasn't a baby crying. It was a girl.
'That's Mal!" yelled Evie.
"Where is she!?" yelled Ben.
No one could see a thing. It was pitch-black.
The only person with light was Desmond.
"I can't see a thing even with only this light!" yelled Desmond.
He kept walking around, now hearing the crying more loudly.
"I think I'm getting closer!" he yelled.
Suddenly, something reached out and grabbed his leg.
He screamed, startled by it and spun around ready to step on the hand.
But then he stopped.
He saw that it was a human hand.
It was Mal's hand reaching out from the shadows.
He screamed in joy.
"I FOUND HER!" he yelled.
Everyone began to run towards the light, especially Ben.
Desmond made the fireball bigger and bent down to talk to Mal.
"Oh Mal I'm so glad you're oka…" he began to say.
Before he could finish and before everyone could make it to him, he screamed out in terror.
"DEAR LORD!" he yelled.
"What is it!?" yelled Ben.
He ran up to Desmond and looked at Mal, and then he screamed too.
Soon everyone grouped and was shocked, terrified, and screamed at the sight.
Mal stared at everyone as she lay on the ground, naked except for underwear.
She was covered in scars, bruises, lashes, and burn marks shaped like bats.
She also had her legs crossed.
Ben could hardly stand the sight of her.
He tried to bring it to himself to bend down and touch her.
He was inches away from touching her, when Mal summoned enough strength to lung up and grab Ben, pulling him down.
Once she was in his grasp, she began to cry so loudly.
Ben could not believe what he was holding.
He could hold it back anymore, and hugged her tighter than every.
She screeched out in pain.
"S…Sorry babe!" he stammered.
Everyone gagged or cried at the sight of Mal, especially Evie, Carlos, and Jay.
Desmond couldn't believe his eyes either.
"Finn did this to you?" he asked trying to hold back tears.
Mal managed to nod as blood dripped from her nose.
"B…Broke m…me," she stammered. "Cut m…me, sca…scar….scarred me, bur…burned me…and he…and…and…"
She just began to cry loudly and crossed her legs tighter.
Desmond noticed this and rubbed them, realizing they were broken.
"What did he do?" sobbed Ben.
"He…he…he…he," stammered Mal.
She then cried loudly again.
Everyone couldn't help themselves but cry.
No one here has ever cried over something like this, let alone cry at all.
None of their parents ever did something like this.
"FINN RAVAGED ME!" yelled Mal. "HE RAVAGED ME INSIDE!"
Ben's jaw dropped at the very words Mal spoke as she dug herself into his jacket and cried again.
Everyone was shocked beyond belief.
"Dear lord," said H.R.
"Finn raped you?" stammered Percy.
"Brother doing it to sister?" cringed Jaz. "That's horrible!"
Mal just continued to cry.
Ben hugged his wife tightly, while clutching his fists.
"I'm going to kill him for this," he whispered to her.
"Me too," she sobbed.
Mal suddenly felt Desmond rubbing her legs.
"What are you doing?" she managed to ask without sobbing.
"My father taught me some tricks on mending bones," said Desmond.
He rubbed her legs constantly until they began to glow.
Mal could feels bones being mended and put back in place, and it felt slightly painful.
But once the light vanished, she could feel her legs entirely again.
She managed to bend them and attempt to stand up.
But she feel immediately back down.
She still felt pain in her crotch from when Finn raped her.
"I think he broke my insides," sobbed Mal.
"No he didn't," said Ben helping Mal up and putting his now bloodstained jacket on her shoulders. "But I assure you that we will both rip out his insides once we stop him."
Mal managed to smile and then kiss Ben lips before feeling the pain on her scars.
"Do you have the strength to fight?" asked Evie hugging her best friend.
Mal nodded.
"Good," said Layla. "Because we'll need your help to stop Finn."
"We only have possibly a few minutes to do that," said Felicia. "I believe the eclipse may start very soon."
"Where is that bastard anyway?" asked Raoul.
Suddenly, everyone began to hear a laugh.
It grew louder and louder until it was an insane cackle.
Fortunately everyone already knew who it was.
"You fools!" the voice suddenly said. "You have finally made it! However you are too late!"
Suddenly a circle made of red light surrounded all the Descendants.
It then rose up and enclosed everyone inside it.
"It's a trap spell!" yelled Desmond.
"And an anti-magic one at that!" yelled Horgarath.
Suddenly, torches began to light around the cave.
Everyone could see everything, including Finn who was standing near a symbol on the ground that had candles lit in a circle, and with Belfire in the middle.
Everyone glared at the sight of the Prince of Darkness, but he just smiled the same crooked smiled and walked up to everyone.
"Finn," growled Ben.
"Your highness," chuckled Finn bowing.
"Don't you dare bow to me!" yelled Ben.
"Why not?" asked Finn. "It's a free kingdom! Well right now it is. It won't when me and Chernabog take over."
"You and Chernabog aren't taking over!" yelled Jaz. "We're here to stop you!"
"Because as you said, only we can stop you!" yelled Jay.
Finn looked at everyone and then burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" asked Jonathan Jr.
"You poor fools," said Finn. "You actually fell for that."
"What are you talking about?" asked Mal. "You said only we all could defeat you."
"Yes I know," said Finn. "I said that only to bring all of you here."
"What?" asked Desmond.
"Yes I tricked you all," said Finn. "I needed all of you here so I could use you to fulfill the ritual. So I said that it would take every Descendant to defeat me."
"But what about the storm?" asked H.R.
"And the demons?" asked Evie.
"All meant to weaken you guys and tire you out," said Finn. "That way you couldn't stand in my way, not like you can right now because you're all trapped."
"You bastard!" yelled Mal. "If you lied to us, then why did you need us all!"
"I'm so glad you asked sis!" said Finn. "I needed you all so I could take this from you guys!"
He pointed his hands at the Descendants and suddenly black light began to pour out of everyone.
They all could feel it being sucked out of them, and it hurt.
The darkness then was absorbed into Finn's hands.
Once all of it was gone, everyone stopped feeling pain.
Finn brushed his hands together and smiled.
"What did you just do?" asked Ben.
"I basically just sucked out all the darkness that still remained in all your hearts," said Finn. "It was the last thing I needed for the ritual. Pure and utter darkness from others."
"You bastard!" yelled Mal trying to break free. "You lied to us!"
Finn laughed menacingly.
"You've been hoodwinked babe!" yelled Finn. "Hoodwinked by your own brother!"
"I'm going to kill you!" Mal yelled. "I swear to god I'll kill you!"
"Yeah right," said Finn. "You've said that so many times, and yet you had a chance to when I was done ravaging you."
"I'm going to kill you for that!" Ben yelled. "We're all going to kill you!"
Lots of the Descendants agreed.
"Enough talk," said Finn. "It is time to start the ritual."
He looked up at the roof of the cave.
"The eclipse is upon us," said Finn. "And now is the time."
He looked behind him and stared at the lifeless body of Chernabog.
No one realized it was there until Finn looked at it, and they were shocked.
Finn smiled and stared at Belfire who was still under a spell.
"Now is the time," he said. "To resurrect the demon."
Cliffhanger again! It's required guys okay!? So anyway, the gang was tricked and now Finn is about to resurrect Chernabog.
Can the gang find a way to stop him even if he does succeed? Stay tuned to find out!
