The six of them entered the tower by the recently formed steps and came into a circular room with a staircase that went along the wall. The only catch was…they couldn't reach the bottom of the steps. There was also a circular design on the floor, sort of like the one on the outside. They immediately knew what it meant…boss time. They drew their staffs (or whatever you do when you take a staff off your back) and stood in different circles.
This monster was completely different from the last. Instead of a dragon, it was more like a giant buffalo or something. It charged straight at Green who put a boulder in its way. But instead of crashing into it, the thing blasted right through the boulder and knocked Green out of his circle; he got up and tried to go back to his circle, but it vanished. Red through a fireball at it then got kicked in the face and knocked out of the circle. Blue doused it with water, but slipped out of his circle. Dark, Purple, and Clara were the only ones left. The bottom stairs suddenly appeared, allowing access to the second floor.
"Go," Purple yelled, "We'll hold it off."
"But what about you?" Green yelled back, "We'd probably need somebody."
"I'll go," Dark said, "you two stay here until this thing is dead."
"Right!" Clara yelled, "Go on, we'll catch up."
Dark ran to the others, and they all went upstairs. The stairs led directly to a room that had a door at the other side, but it was locked. The room also had a ladder that led up to a platform that went around the room. The room was empty, so they couldn't find anything, not even on the platform.
Suddenly, a giant with many eyes all over his body with a bunch of frozen shut eyelids appeared (and I literally mean FROZEN, with ice). Red pulled out his staff and blasted fire at an eyelid, Blue pulled out his bow and shot the recently opened eye with an arrow. The Giant cried in agony and smashed his fist where Blue was standing, he dodged the fist with a side roll and spotted a key in a frozen block of ice on the giant's head. Red apparently saw it to, because he blasted the thing with a fireball and it landed on the platform. Dark climbed the ladder, ran across the platform, and grabbed the key. He ran over to the door, unlocked it, and he and Green ran outside. They motioned for Blue and Red to come, but every time they got close to the door, the giant would slam his fist.
"Go on," Blue demanded, "We'll stay and fight him."
"But that would only leave two," Green complained.
"It's okay," Red said, shooting a fireball, "Go!" The door closed and they couldn't hear anything.
"Great," Dark said, "just what he wanted."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, Vaati."
"What about him?"
"He did this on purpose, he split us all up."
"Well why don't we go back and get them" Green ran to the door.
"It's no use, the door is locked."
"Well use the key and open it again."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"I can't open the door because the lock changed. The key's useless now."
"But, the others."
"Come on, Green, let's go find Vaati." Dark ran up the steps that circled the tower on the outside, and Green followed. They ran up to a door that was unlocked, but once the two stepped inside, the door locked itself. Green tried to open the door again, but realized it was no use.
"You are such a traitor, Dark." A familiar voice echoed through the room. "A shame, though. We could have been unstoppable. But I guess you chose the losing team instead."
"Shut up Vaati," Dark demanded, "I am one of the Mikes; I only exist because he does. I should have been with them in the first place."
"Idiot! You are supposed to be evil, you command darkness. It's even in your name."
"I thought I told you to shut up!" Dark blasted a ball of darkness at an invisible figure, which obviously turned out to be Vaati.
Vaati fell to the ground. "Traitor!" he yelled as he got up. He fired a small tornado and sent Dark flying into the wall. He raised a sword and said, "Now, to finish you o-" He didn't finish his sentence because Green stabbed him in the back with his own sword.
"See what happens when you take too long." Green said, sheathing his sword. "Why doesn't this happen on TV?"
"Hollywood logic," Dark answered. "You should go; he won't stay down for long. Just above the next floor is a mirror, that mirror is Vaati's power source. Without it, all he can rely on is his normal strength. It also gives me the power to replicate myself, but I really don't have a need for it anymore."
"Right," Green agreed, "and if you can, try and get the others out of their battles."
"Got it"
Green ran through a door that was unlocked and ran upstairs. Like the previous stairs, these ran up the side of the tower. There were a couple guards that paid no attention to him. But he kicked them off the tower just in case. He approached a door that had a sign that read 'The princess' room'. Sam must be in here he thought. He opened the door and entered.
