Chapter 25: The Ninja Army
BLUE
Blue stood at the mouth of the dark cave, like he had been ever since Max left and ran into the horrible cave, which was about ten minutes ago. Blue would twitch every now and then, but he mainly stayed motionless. After a while, he started walking. Walking where? Not even Blue knew. But something made Blue turn back the opposite way from where ever he was going. The cave. Blue was supposed to be brave, right? Wasn't that his supposed "best quality"? Being brave... Was he not being brave now? No, he wasn't, and Blue knew this. If he ran away, deserting his friends, because of a cave, he was NOT being brave. He would be a wimp. A coward. A... A bad friend.
Poor Blue...
Blue never even thought of ever leaving his friends in time of need, so why was it so tempting now? Blue slowly started walking back to the cave. Then he heard something. A noise. Leaves? Blue looked in all directions, spotting a bush... that was MOVING. Blue grabbed the hilt of DeathTide. (Blue's glowing sword, which you will learn more about later) Blue tried to calm himself down. It was just the wind. Wait... The wind was silent today... It wasn't the wind. Blue took out DeathTide. A flash of silver fur coming from the bush away from Blue made him yelp in surprise. He knew that thing. The silver wolf that had caused Blue much trouble! (First Sighting of silver wolf: The Second special: Chapter 20) Blue almost ran after it, but hesitated. Then he realized it was going towards Tree Haven. Their home! Blue ran off, all doubt of himself washed away by the excitement of the chase.
TORI
Tori awoke laying on hard rock. Everything washed over her in horror. The horrible nasty scream she heard, dropping the torch... Tori looked around. It was completely pitch black. Tori felt around, looking for her backpack, then cursing when she couldn't find it. How was she supposed to see without a torch?! Tori then saw a light in the distance. Tori ran towards it, fear grabbing her heart as the darkness surrounded her. Tori started yelling, "Max! Charm! Whoever! Wait up!" The light was close enough now that Tori could see who was holding the light. She stopped a yard away. "Max?..." "No, not Max." Said the cold, cool voice. "I am sure you remember me though." A ninja stood in front of her. A black ninja. The Black Ninja. The one that sent an army of slimes and a Gumptu (Giant Slime, King Slime) to Tree Haven. But not only was he there, so was hundreds and hundreds of other ninjas behind him. He had his own personal Ninja Army.
