KNight Wolf
CUBE-Lockdown P-2
No One's P.O.V
Fucked, that's how Danny saw the current situation.
Five large flamethrowers were pointed right at everyone who was chained down. The leader, Walker, was giving a sick grin as everyone pulled on the metal collars that were chained to the floor.
Walker raised his hand and was about to bring it down, ready to signal the five men to fire there flamethrowers.
Just as Walker was about to bring his hand down, Danny acted.
"Why!?" Danny shouted making Walker pause with a raised brow. "Why do all this, why put us in that thing just to kill us!? It makes no fucking sense!"
Walker gave Danny a grin as he slowly lowered his hand before putting them behind his back. "It's simple, you all committed a crime." He said making everyone glance at each other.
"What the fuck could we have done that deserves that hell?" Max said as he pulled at his collar.
"You all know what you did." Walker said as he gestured to everyone. "A great crime you do everyday without even realizing it."
"And what could that be?" Skulker asked in a grim voice as he jerked his collar.
Walker opened his arms wide with a sick grin on his face. "You all are a part of the supernatural."
"..."
"..."
"...You have got to be fucking kidding me." Max said in disbelief. "That's why you put us through that death trap, because we see monsters." He said with a laugh, though you could still hear the disbelief.
"Do not take my mission lightly!" Walker shouted with steel in his voice, making everyone go stiff. "The supernatural is a crime against nature, monsters roam the worlds, magic changes things it should not, mad men are given power they should not have, all things connected to the supernatural is an abomination, even the so called hunters."
"If you wanted to kill us then why didn't you just off us while we were knocked out!?" Danny asked getting a grin from Walker.
"Your right, it would be easier to kill you. But I'm a far man." Walker said before gesturing his around the room. "This prison was made to hold and test your will power and want to survive. If you manage to escape then I grand you a quick death, and deliver your bodies to your family."
"Far my ass, that place is a death trap!" Max yelled while giving his collar a hard tog. "This is no far punishment. This is just some sick game you get off on. Even when we're about to get burned to a crisp you can't help but smile."
That seemed to wipe the smirk off Walker's face as he glared at Max. "If you don't think I'm far, then I could of done this in the beginning." Walker said before he acted.
Faster then anyone could react Walker whipped something from behind and pointed it at Max.
BANG!
"Fuck!" Max shouted as he nearly fell to the floor, but the collar was holding him up. A large red stain started to form around the spellslinger's stomach.
"Max!" Luna cried out in worry before glaring at Walker. "You bastard!"
Walker turned to Luna with a glare, and the explorer didn't even flinch. "The one who caused all this problem in the first place, looks like I need to improve my collars to stop abilities like yours." Walker then just gave a tiered sigh as he blew smoke from the end of his gun. "I try to make you see I'm a far man and you insult me."
Danny glared at the man and started to pull harder on his collar. As he pulled Danny noticed the gun in Walker's hand and his eyes widen when he saw it was a revolver, Max's revolver.
"Ha," Walker sighed before putting the revolver away. "I was hoping to enjoy an execution, but you ruined the mood." Walker said before he turned around and started to make his way to the exit.
"Don't think you won yet you pasty fucker!" Skulker shouted as he tugged on his collar.
Walker continued to walk to the exit, a dry look on his face. "Yes, yes, and I'm a bastard, a son of a bitch, fucker. Trust me when I say I have heard it all." Just as he was about to walk out he turned to one of the guards on his right. "Give them about ten minutes before executing them. I want realization to hit them hard." He said before walking out of the stone double doors.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Skulker shouted as he pulled on his collar.
"Damn it!" Danny said as he pulled on his metal collar until his knuckles turned white, but it wouldn't even budge.
Wulf was going crazy and pulling on his collar while letting out a roar, but even he couldn't budge it with his current strength.
The five guards in black armor marched in a straight line before standing in front of the chained group again. They raised there flamethrowers right at them but did not fire.
"Max if you have a plan to get these collars off then do it fucking now!" Danny shouted as he saw the guards start to turn on there flamethrowers.
Said spellslinger was panting hard as he held his side as a pool of blood formed around his feet. Luna looked at her old friend in complete worry as he shook on his feet.
Suddenly Max stood straight, grabbing his collar in both hands. "Danny, everyone!" Max said making everyone freeze and look to the spellslinger. "We only have one shot, so as soon as your collar is off, move!"
Before anyone could say or do anything the spellslinger acted.
"Level 5!" Max shouted.
Xx(Natural by: Imagine Dragon-START)xX
With little to no effort Max ripped his collar off and raised his hands.
"Bloody needles!"
The pool of blood around Max's feet bubbled for a split second before nine spikes shot out of the blood pool. Five of the spikes went for the guards, who jumped out of the way and dived for cover. While that happened the other four spikes rushed to the chained victims and quickly cut there collars off.
As soon as the collar hit the ground everyone acted.
Danny changed into his Wolf-Boost Form and tackled one of the guard to the ground. Smashing an aura infused fist into the guards head, hearing a satisfying crunch.
Wulf went full on werewolf and charged at a guard with his claws out, stabbing the guard in the chest. Wulf's werewolf form was more bulky then Danny's, with a mix of black and gray.
Skulker rushed one of the guards and grabbed onto the flamethrower in his hands. There was a power struggle between the two and Skulker was getting pushed down, but at the last second Skulker twisted the weapon and pointed the end to the guards head.
"Eat this!" Skulker said before pulling the trigger.
Orange flames shot out of the weapon right into the guards head, making him go stiff before falling limp.
Luna glared at the guard in front of her as it raised it's weapon. As the guard pulled the trigger Luna raised her hands.
"Tail Wind!"
As soon as the fire started to come out of the weapon it blew right back at the guard, catching it on fire.
Luna wasn't done yet and cupped her hands into a ball. "Wind Stag!"
A second later a large deer with big horns made out of blue wind appeared in front of Luna and charged at the guard, who was still on fire. The deer impaled the guard in the chest and at the same time the flames on the guard intensified. A second later the guard was nothing more then a pile of melted armor and ash.
A guard rushed at Max, who was grabbing his side and struggling to stand. Once the guard was in range it raised it's weapon at Max, but before he could even fire his flamethrower was cut in half by a blood blade, along with his hand. A second later four blood tendrils shot forward and wrapped around his good arm and legs, keeping him in place.
A split second later the last tendril shot forward and cut the guards head clean off.
Once the last guard fell Danny stepped forward. "Wulf, help me open the door! Skulker, Luna, take care of Max!" Danny said as the two werewolves rushed to the stone door.
The two werewolves stabbed there claws between the doors and started to pull them apart. Skulker rushed over to the spellslinger and put his arm over his shoulder, easily picking the spellslinger up. Luna quickly put pressure on Max's wound to stop the bleeding. When the blond magic user looked at Max's hand she wince seeing a few of his fingers purple and in the wrong direction.
"Can you close it?" Luna asked in a nervous voice.
Max gave a shaky nod and put a hand over hers. A second later the blood flow stopped.
"Are you ok?" Max asked the blond in a weak voice. "I mean you did just..." Max trailed off while looking at the dead body.
Luna quickly shook her head. "There not alive Max," She said shocking everyone a bit. "They have magic in them, but I can't feel any life in them."
Skulker handed Max over to Luna and walked over to one of the guards body. The hunter first patted the body down and pulled out a knife before taking off the helmet. What was underneath was a bit of a surprise.
The guard had dark skin that looked uneven, his skull was a miss formed shape, one eye was incredibly larger and the same could be said about the upper lip. The teeth were mismatched, some large, some small, some sharp, and some even overlapped.
"What the fuck happen to this guy?" Skulker said before he looked at another guard, only to see that guard was just as deformed as the last one. "Were they experimented on?"
"I think..." Luna said grabbing everyone's attention. "I think the guards are homunculus."
Homunculus- Artificial beings created through magic. Homunculus are also known as 'meat golems', since they are grown from the blood of other being. Homunculus have much shorter life spans then most people, most only lasting about five years. Homunculus are smarter then normal golems able to do complex tasks normal golems can't. The longer a homunculus lives the more self aware it becomes.
Strength- Easy for the maker to add whatever enhancements may be needed, such as speed, endurance, or strength.
Weakness- The more enhancements one has the shorter it's life span and the harder to control. It is possible for a homunculus to gain free will but it is unlikely to happen.
Skulker gave a snort as he throw the body to the ground. "That explains how Walker was able to get people apart of this crazy place, he made them." Skulker said before looking to Luna. "What about that Walker guy, was he human."
Luna looked thoughtful before shaking her head. "It was strange, Walker's body felt fake but at the same time it felt real, alive even. I almost thought he was a homunculus himself."
"Is he strong?" Max rasped while holding his sides, wincing at the pain.
Luna gained a troubled look on her face before looking to Max. "He is far from weak, I could tell that much."
Danny and Wulf both gave a roar before pulling the stone door open.
"Common, we can't hold the door forever!" Danny shouted as he and Wulf held the doors open.
Skulker picked Max up and quickly ran through the stone doors with Luna close behind. But just before they ran throw Max held his hand up and all of his blood shot up to the spellslinger's hand and coted it in blood.
"Iru!"(Go!) Wulf shouted as he held the stone doors by himself.
Danny quickly ran through the stone doors before holding it on the other side for Wulf to get through.
Once everyone was through the stone doors slammed shut with a loud bang. The group of survivors found themselves in a large square tunnel with a elevator at the end of the hall with two wooden doors, lights were built into the call corners on the sealing revealing. Running to the end of the hall Danny didn't waist any infusing his foot with aura and kicking the doors off. There was a loud bang and the wooden doors caved in on itself, revealing an elevator shaft.
Danny looked up the dark shaft and grimaced when he couldn't see the top. Looking down was the same with a deep bottomless pit below.
"We need to climb up." Danny said before turning to everyone. "Just high enough until we find another floor that can get us out of here."
"That going to be hard with me carrying him in my arms." Skulker said as he gestured to the panting Max, who gave the hunter a light glare.
Max grunted as he got out of Skulker's arms and stood on the floor. "Can you carry me on your back?"
"Easley, but can you hang on?"
Max was quiet for a moment before taking off the gray work suit, leaving him in a pare of gray boxers and a bloody white undershirt.
"I can tie this around your waist." Max said as he twisted the work suit.
"Why don't you hop on my back, I should easily be able to carry you, and catch you if you fall." Danny said.
Max shook his head and gave his friend a serious look. "Right now you, Wulf, and Luna are the strongest among us. You need to move freely without worrying about me." Max said before giving Skulker a grin. "No offence."
Skulker just snorted. "None taken, I know my limits and I'm not that strong without my weapons." He said before turning around and lowing himself. "Get on."
With Luna's help Max was tied to Skulker's back and hanging on as tight as he could. Once everyone looked ready Danny nodded.
"Alright, let's get moving." He said before looking to Luna. "Will you be able to climb by yourself?"
Luna gave a smile as she waved her hands, a light blue aura covering her body. "Don't worry about me Danny," She said before jumping into the elevator shaft, but instead of falling down floated up, almost like she was on the moon. She floated up for a while before grabbing a ledge on the stone wall. "I have my own way of getting around."
Max looked over Skulker's shoulder and gave Danny a grin. "Don't underestimate that blond."
With that everyone climbed into the elevator shaft and started to climb up. Both Wulf and Danny had it easy thanks to there natural abilities, and with Luna's magic she was easily able to jump ahead of everyone. Not only that with the light blue aura she was giving off aloud everyone to see where to go and grab.
The only ones that were having milled trouble was Skulker as he carried Max on his back. But thanks to years of training the hunter wasn't having to much difficulty.
Nearly 15 minutes of none stop climbing passed and everyone started to feel worried and tiered.
Danny gipped the wall and took a deep breath. "Fuck how deep undergrown are we, I feel like we've climbed about a mile." Danny said before he jumped up a few feet.
Luna took a deep breath before jumping up about 20 feet into the air before grabbing the wall. The blond magic user was panting with a shine of sweat on her face, using the same spell for so long was taking a lot out of Luna, but she was far from done.
Once everyone was close enough Luna jumped another 20 feet up the elevator shaft and her eyes widen when she landed on a wall.
"I found a door." Luna called down making everyone look up.
Everyone saw a door shining in the blue light of Luna's aura right across from where the girl was hanging, making everyone grin. Climbing up with new strength everyone was on the same level as the door. Danny climbed up to the elevator door and quickly put his ear on it,
"...I think I hear movement." Danny said with a frown as he looked around the elevator shaft. "They know we're here." He said in a serious voice.
Max grunted while shifting on Skulker's back. "Luna, can your eyes see their magic through the elevator doors?"
Luna glanced at Max before her eyes squinted at the door. "I can try." She said before her eyes gained a bluish glow. After a few seconds she spoke. "There are about eight of them standing in a row, holding something in there hands."
"Weapons." Danny grunted as his face scrunched up. "We need a way to blow the door to throw them off, then Wulf and I can go in and take them out."
Everyone had thoughtful looks on there faces as they tried to thing about what to do next. Suddenly Luna looked up and looked down to Max with a grin.
"Max, remember that time when we were young her and I used that spell." Luna said with a small smile making Max's eyes widen.
"Oh shit." Was all the wounded spellslinger said making everyone worry a bit more.
On the other side of the door eight homunculus were in two rows, four in the front on one knee and another four standing behind them, all welding fully automatic M16 pointed right at the door. They were standing in a large stone room, standing on a large metal bridge over a black void. The bridge connected to three other large doors. There orders were simple, shoot anything that came out of the elevator.
The guards waited patiently for even the slightest movement of the double doors to open.
Suddenly without warning the doors were blasted open with an intense force, blasting all the guards back and creating a huge dust storm. A moment later Danny and Wulf came running through the opening and made a mad dash right at the guards.
Two large amounts of aura crashed into the guard, sending them flying or doing major damage. Back at the elevator Luna floated in before her aura died down, letting her drop to the ground. The blond waited no time rising her hands while they glowed blue.
"Humming Bird Storm!" Luna shouted.
A huge flock of blue humming shot out of Luna's hands and went straight for the guards. The birds were as fast as bullets and all strike the guars with there long narrow beaks like spears.
While the guards were being paltered by the aura birds Danny and Wulf made quick work of them before they even shot a single bullet. The two werewolves slashed and bashed the guards before they could even react, and since they were nothing more then meat golems they didn't have to hold back. Moments later Skulker climbed out of the elevator shaft with Max clung to his back. The spellslinger dropped of the hunter's back and quickly put on his makeshift rope on despite the blood on the jumpsuit.
"Skulker, catch!" Danny said as he throw a gun to the hunter, who caught it easily.
"Nice." Skulker said as he cocked the M16 before going over the fallen guard and grabbing whatever was useful. He also shot the guards in the head to make sure they stayed down.
Danny sighed as he changed back to his human form. "Walker knows we're out, he'll be sending everything he has to make sure we don't escape." Danny said as he picked an M16 off the ground and weighed it in his hands. "So let's do something he doesn't expect," Danny said as he turned to everyone. "Let's take him head on."
Everyone looked at Danny as if he was crazy.
"Danny, are you hearing yourself right now?" Max asked as he hobbled over to his friend. "We're outmanned, outgunned, we're tiered as fuck, I'm shot," Max said while pointing to his bullet wound. "And you want us to take them all on? That's suicide." Max said as a fact.
Danny dropped the gun to his side and gestured around him. "Look around you Max, this Walker guy is not fucking around. He has money, resources, to track us back down and finish us off. If we leave he will abandon this place and make another, it will take years but this guy is crazy determined. And what's to stop him from coming after our friend, our family." Danny said with a grave voice.
That made everyone's eyes widen. Danny was right, just because they escaped the cube doesn't mean they can escape Walker.
"Look, I can't tell you what to do. But I can say this guy, if he lives, he will come after us and everyone we knows." Danny said before throwing his gun over his shoulder. "So I'm going to find him and beat the shit out of him. Who's in?"
The other survivors were quiet as they let Danny's words run through their heads. After a few moment Max stepped forward a small grin on his face.
"You and your fucking inspirational speeches, there going to get me killed one day." Max said before looking to Skulker. "If they got some pistols on them toss them to me."
Skulker looked between Max and Danny for a moment before chuckling. "The thought of being hunted and living in fear doesn't sit right with me." Skulker said before throwing Max a 9mm pistol from one of the bodies. "I'm in."
Max caught the gun with one hand and weighed it in his hand. He then turned to Luna with a concerned look.
Before the spellslinger could even open his mouth Luna already answered. "If you think of one second I'm leaving here without you, your dead wrong." Luna said with her usual dreamy smile, but this time there was a fire in her eyes.
Everyone turned to Wulf, who looked the most conflicted out of everyone. Finally he looked up with a determined look.
"I can never be free if that monster lives, we will fight for our freedom, together." Wulf said, making everyone grin.
Danny nodded before turning to the other doors around the big room. "So which door should go through?" Danny asked as he looked around.
"How about the only door that's open." Max said, pointing to the open door on the far right. "I bet the other doors are activated via controls from a control room. No way that giant ass cube is automated."
"Door on the right it is then." Danny said before making his way to the door with the other survivors.
Running through the doors the group entered a long stone hallway. It wasn't long until they reached two double doors and Danny wasted no time kicking them down.
Walker watch the video feed on a tablet with complete anger before grabbing the tablet and throwing it to the side, shattering it.
"Why are they still alive Bullet!"
Standing in front of Walker's desk was a tall lizard man. The man had blue scales all over his body, a large tail behind him, sharp teeth along with claws on his hands, and a long fork tongue. He wore a pair of combat pants, a black bandana, a red cape, and had an eye patch on.
"Sir, these prisoners are not your average supernatural beings." Bullet said in a calm manner as he put his arms behind his back. "They are fighter, survivors, they will not go down so easily."
"Then take them down hard!" Walker shouted at the lizard man face. "Get every available guard and ambush them before they escape! If they get out I'll have to abandon my prison. Do you know how long it took me to build this place." Walker said as he walked right up to the lizard man. "Years, decades! So go down there and kill them all, I don't care how you do it!"
Bullet gave Walker a grin that was sadistic. "Am I aloud to use the two experiments?" He asked in an eager voice.
Walker waved him off. "Use whatever we have, just kill them all!" Walker yelled before grabbing his head in pain. "Damn, the connection is weakening. I can't believe I have to recharge at a time like this." He muttered before glaring at Bullet. "I expect you to have there heads by the time I wake up." Walker said before he started to walk away.
The lizard man gave a salute, the sadistic grin still on his face. "With pleasure." He said before walking out.
Kicking a door in Danny and the other survivors quickly filled into. After running down the big stone hallway the group found themselves in a large room filled with steel shipping creates, while they stood on a catwalk over the room. Not only that the room was filled with guard who instantly started firing at them with there guns.
The group of survivors were able to finish them off before quickly running into a dark room.
"That's it, no more kicking doors for you." Skulker said while he panted, putting another magazine into his gun.
"Sorry... I was caught in the moment." Danny said as he panted for air, throwing his empty gun onto the floor.
"Where the hell are we now?" Max said as he put pressure on his side. His wound has re-opened on his side during the fight but he was easily able to close it back up. "I can't see shit."
Luna looked around with her blue eyes, which were glowing slightly. "I think we're in some kind of storage room." Luna said before looking behind everyone. "I think I found the switch." She said as she grabbed the large switch with her two hands then pulled down.
Light filled the dark room everyone was shocked to see what was in the room. Rows of shelves filled the room, shelves filled with various items and knick-knacks, clothing, and even weapons.
"Where the hell are we?" Danny asked as he looked around at all the strange items on a nearby shelf.
Max stumbled forward as he looked at all the stuff on the shelves. When his head turned to the left his eyes widen from what was in his sights. "Mother fucker!" Max said as he limped to the shelf, grabbing something. "It's my cane," He shouted as he grabbed his black cane from the shelf. Looking to the side his eyes widen again as he saw what was right next to it. "And that's my duster, fuck even my bowie knives are here!"
Everyone started to look around the room, spotting various weapons along the shelf.
"My hoodie!" Wulf shouted as he pulled a green hoodie from the shelf, a look of shock on his face.
"What the fuck is this room?" Skulker asked as he grabbed a crystal ball off one of the shelves. "Some kind of storage room."
"Worse." Danny said as he grabbed his combat suit from a shelf. A look of anger and disgust on his face. "It a god damn trophy room, stuff from all of Walker's victims."
Everyone looked around the room with shock and horror, there were thousands of items in the room alone.
"...Grab your stuff and anything you might need." Danny suddenly said, snapping everyone out of there shock. "We don't have time, grab some shit and armor up!" Danny shouted and everyone went into action.
Danny throw off the gray jumpsuit and quickly put on his combat suit. He also found his amulet and tried to activate it, but something was blocking the signal of it.
Max found his cloths, fedora, sunglasses and quickly put them on as well, wincing as he felt pain in his bullet wound. Looking up Max smirked as he found a couple bottle of his healing potions and BlackWater.
Wulf kept things simple and throw on his large green hoodie with a big grin.
Skulker found all of his equipment not far from the group of survivors. He slit on his black tang-top and jeans before putting on his metal gauntlets and steel tipped boots, then he put on his amulet he gained from his employer. His new amulet wasn't as powerful as his old on, but it wasted hardly any of his energy just having it on.
Luna found her cloths not far from Max and quickly put them on, making all the guys look away. She wore a black shirt with a dark blue skirt, a picture of a raven on her chest. She quickly throw on a long black jacket with a dark blue inside and a blue collar. In her hands was a wooden 12 inch wand that had a spiral design made into it. She wore an odd necklace that seemed to be made out of corks and feathers for ear rings. Just as she grabbed her bag her eyes landed on a wooden box marked with the numbers 3 & 4. Staring at the box for a long minute Luna quickly grabbed it before putting it away in her bag.
"Everyone got what they need?" Danny said as everyone nodded but Max.
"I can't find my revolver." Max said as he quickly looked around through the shelves. His side was finally healed thanks to one of his healing potions, along with his hand which was no longer purple around the fingers.
Danny winced and rubbed the back of his head. "Um Max," He said grabbing the spellslinger's attention. "Remember when Walker shot you?" Max nodded slowly, an uneasy look on his face. "Well... he shot you with your own gun."
Everyone winced at that and Max's cry of outrage. "What!" Max shouted as he stomped his foot on the ground. "That son of a bitch shot me with my own .44 Colt Anaconda Magnum Revolver, that shit was customized! I'm going to kick him in the dick!"
Danny snorted at his friend. "You do that, but first," The werewolf then turned to the door they came in with a glare. "We have company." He said making everyone glare at the door. "Luna, how many do you see?"
Reaching a hand into her bag Luna pulled out a pair of weird glasses that looked like two hands. Putting them on Luna looked through the door for a moment before putting the glasses away. "There are about 20 guard, five are about 20 feet from the door with there weapons ready, five of them are on the creates, some standing some laying down, the rest are standing behind creates with there weapons ready."
Skulker folded his arms with a hard look. "There trying to box us in, the five in front are distractions, while we take them out the rest will shoot at us like fish in a barrel." Skulker said in a grim voice. "And if we try to take out the first five from here then the rest will just focus there fire into this room."
Danny rubbed his chin in thought. "We need to a way to take out the first five guards quick before going for cover."
Luna grinned as she brought up her wand, which was now covered in aura. "Should I use-"
"No!" All the guys shouted, both with annoyance and slight fear.
"Let's think of something else." Danny said with a thoughtful look around the room. "There has to be something here we can use."
Everyone quickly looked around the room while Luna and Wulf stayed by the door. While they were looking Skulker voice range out.
"Hey KNight Wolf, Gemini, come over here." Skulker called making the two rush over to the hunter who had something in his hands. "What do you say to something like this." Skulker said getting a grin from the two.
Outside of the storage room five guards slowly closed in on the storage room with there guns raised. Being them were several guards with scoped guns all aimed at the door and guard, their fingers ready on the trigger. When the got about 10 feet from the door is slammed open and something came flying out before slamming close. Landing in front of the group of guards was a gas tank with a smiley face on it and something taped around it.
*FLASH*
Before the guard could even move a giant flash of light blinded them, making them start to shoot their weapons uncountable. The storage room slammed open again and Max's came out with his pistol raised, firing a quick shot right at the gas tank. The explosion blew all the guards away as the survivors came rushing out of the storage room.
Skulker and Max shot at the guard on and around the storage creates while Danny, Wulf, and Luna ran to cover. Once the other survivors were behind cover Max and Skulker ran together.
"Nice idea combining a gas tank and those flash grenades." Max called as they dove behind a steel create, bullets flying past them.
"Use what you can around you and turn the environment to your advantage." Skulker said as he brought his gun around the create and shot two guard in the head.
Max popped open a bottle of BlackWater and glanced around the other side of the create, seeing three guards running close. Tapping his cane one on the ground Max's BlackWater came shooting out and stabbed the guards in the hands, making them drop their weapons. A moment later Max sprinted around the create and stabbed one guard right in the head with his cane, a second later two black spikes shot out of the guard head and impaled the other two guards, who started to pick up their weapons.
With Danny and Wulf the two werewolves were easily tarring through the guards on top of the steel creates. They got shot up a bit but thanks to their speed and healing the werewolves were able to take out the sharp shooters before they hit their friends.
On the ground Luna was making wind animas while waving her wand in the air. She took down a couple of guards that got a little to close but quickly ended them. Her expression was playful but her eyes were hard.
Soon all 20 guard were down for the count, permanently.
"Everyone in one piece?" Danny called out as they all grouped back together.
"Couple shots grazed me, but I'll live." Skulker said as he moved his shoulder.
Max went behind his duster and pulled out a healing potion. "Here, this will help." Max said before throwing the potion to the hunter.
"Thanks." The hunter said before applying the green liquid to his wounds.
Danny nodded to his friend before looking around. "Now that we have our gear we need to somehow find a way out of here." Danny said with a thoughtful look.
"What about a control room, or even a security room." Max said grabbing everyone's attention. "No way something this big doesn't have something controlling that big cube, or even monitoring this place."
Danny nodded slowly before he opened his mouth. But was soon cut off by the sound of heavy footsteps. Turning to the side everyone saw someone walk out of the double doors they came through and were surprised to see a blue lizard man. The man had a big grin on his face as he looked down at all the survivors from the catwalk.
"I was right when I saw you all fight, your not the normal supernatural being." The lizard man said as he tongue flickered out of his mouth. "Your all fighter, survivors. You'll be a challenge." He said with a big grin, showing all of his teeth.
Danny stepped forward and changed into his Wolf-Boost form. "Who the fuck are you, you don't look like a homunculus?"
The lizard man put his arms behind his back with a smug look. "Your right, you see I'm an employee of Mr. Walker, and he's given the task for me to kill you all." He said while leaning against the railing.
"You, against the five of us." Danny said with a chuckle as he glared at the lizard man. "Now your just being arrogant."
The lizard man waved Danny off with a care free smile. "Oh your more then right, I might be able to take on a few of you myself, but I can't take all five of you alone." Bullet's smile then became wicked. "Which is my I brought some help."
Max crossed his arms and snorted. "If you think those pathetic guards are going to be any help then your sorely mistaken." Max said as he brought up his pistol.
Bullet's grin never fell. "Oh trust me, these two are more then helpful." Bullet said as he glanced back. "Tombstone, Rex, forward now."
Two figures walked next to Bullet and everyone looked surprised at their appearance. The one on the left of Bullet was big, bigger then Skulker, with gray skin, black pants, a metal collar, and a Mohawk. The most noticeable thing on him was the large scar along the base of his skull. The one on the right was the exact opposite, it was a skinny young man with brown hair and red eyes warring a pair of gray sweat pants. The most noticeable thing was the brownish scales on the sides of his face and horns on his head.
Both had blank expression's on their faces as they looked straight ahead.
"As you can see, I have my own backup." Bullet said as he gestured to his the two followers. "Rex, Tombstone." Bullet said, grabbing the two's attention. "Kill them."
Without any hesitation the two jumped off the catwalk and landed nor far from the group. As the skinny one fell his body started to changed, it became bulkier, his skin gaining a brown color, his horns growing bigger, and his teeth became sharper. By the time he landed the once skinny man now look like a bulky dinosaur on two stubby legs.
"Like I said," Bullet said as he brought up two guns and pointed them at the group. "I have backup." He said before shooting at them.
Everyone jumped out of the way as the two monsters charged at them.
"Max, Luna!" Danny called as he dodged Tombstone's giant fist. "You two go and find Walker, we'll handle them!"
Max and Luna looked at each other before nodding and running away.
Bullet just snorted as he raised his guns at the two magic users. But before he could get a shot off he ducked a bullet that whizzed passed his head. A moment later a grappling hook shot out on the catwalk and Skulker landed not far from Bullet.
"Your fights with me lizard." Skulker said as two blades popped out of his gauntlets.
Bullet grinned and pulled out two curved swords from behind his red clock. "Bring it on hunter." He said before the two charged at each other.
Back with Wulf and Danny, the two werewolves were fighting the two monsters with some difficulty. Rex seemed to have thick scales that could give a dragon a run for it's money, it also seemed to be nearly as fast as Wulf. Tombstone seemed to have strength on his side and was immune to pain, so he never stopped swinging his giant fists as Danny slashed at him with his claw.
"Wulf, switch!" Danny called out before dashing as Rex at full speed.
Wulf was a second behind before he charged at Tombstone and slashed him across the chest with his claws.
"Wulf, we need to work together." Danny said as he ducked under Rex's claws. "These two are tough, but their dumb as bricks. If we work together then we'll beat them easier."
"Konsentas!" (Agreed!) Wulf shouted before kicking Tombstone in the stomach.
"Good, now switch!"
At the same time Danny and Wulf ran to the other opponents. Wulf stabbing Rex in the arm and Danny kicking Tombstone in the head.
Max and Luna ran down a long metal hallway as fast as they could. They occasionally ran into a guard but the two skilled magic users quickly took them out before they could call more. As they ran the two found themselves at a cross roads going into three different directions.
"Which way should we go?" Luna said as she looked down each hallway.
Max had a thoughtful look on his face before he turned to his blond friend. "Luna, see if you can find a small group homunculus in one place, parley moving."
Luna gave Max an odd look before putting on her glasses and looking around a bit. After a while Luna pointed down the right hallway.
"That way." She said before Max started to moving, Luna close behind. "Why did you ask me to look for a small group of homunculus?" Luna asked as they ran together.
"Think about it, this place has to have some form of control room. Control rooms needs a small group of workers." Max said as they rounded a corner. "And what do control rooms have?"
"Cameras?" Luna said.
"Yes, but also maps." Max said as he nodded his head. "Find the control room, we find a map, we find a map we find Walker." Max said before an angry grin crossed his face. "Then I can kick him in the dick for stealing my gun and hurting you."
Luna let a small smile grace her lips as her cheeks felt a little warm.
When the two turned another corner they saw two double door at the end of the hall. Two guards standing on the door's end. Before the guard's could even raise their weapon's Max's BlackWater stabbed one in the chest while Luna's stag impaled the other.
As soon as the guards fell Luna pointed her stag to the double doors and without hesitation knocked them open. Inside were four homunculus with huge heads but small bodies, all looking at Max and Luna with something new, fear.
Max wasted no time walking up to the one with the biggest head. The spellslinger grabbed the homunculus by the throat and lifted him up with one hand.
"Listen up fucker," Max said with a growl as he brought his pistol up with his other hand and pointed it right between the homunculus's eyes, making it shake in fear. "You obviously have some intelligent on you, so here's what's going to happen. Your going to tell me exactly where Walker is right now."
When the other big heads tried to run away Luna blocked their path, a wind lion roaring at them.
The biggest head in Max's hands was sweating up a storm, but managed to glare at Max. "O-or what, you'll kill me, your going to do that anyway." The homunculus said in a raspy voice.
Max looked the homunculus right in the eyes before loosening on his throat. "I don't want you, just Walker."
"Even if I tell you about our Master what's to stop you from killing me!"
Max paused for a minute before grinning. "Logic." The spellslinger said making the homunculus pause. "You were made by Walker, you have no chose but to work for him or he'd kill you." Max said making the big head flinch. "And even if you did something you would of just been replaced by someone else. I don't want you, I want the head honcho." He said before bringing the big head close and looking him right in the eye with a hard look. "But if you make this difficult I will hurt you until you talk."
The big head homunculus was shaking as he looked into the spellslinger's eyes before bringing up a shaky hand to the computer. "I-I can print you a map."
"Alpha!" One of the other big heads gasped in shock, but instantly clammed up when Max glared at him.
Releasing the homunculus Max watched at the big head made it's way to a computer and started typing. After about a minute the now named Alpha came back with a paper, but didn't hand it to Max.
"I have your word you'll let me and them live." Alpha managed to say even though he was shaking.
Max nodded before snatching the map and looking it over. After a minute he nodded then turned to Luna making Alpha sigh in relief. But before any of the homunculus could react BlackWater shot out at them and pinned them to the walls.
"I thought you were going to let us live!" Alpha cried out in fear.
Max just waved them off. "I am numb nuts, but I can't let you run around. So this is going to hold you." He said before freezing the BlackWater, holding them in place. Max the turned his attention to the controls in front of him. "Do any of these controls work on the cube?"
Alpha quickly shook his head in fear. "No, only Walker has controls, these controls just work on the facility."
"Dose Walker have control of this place, or whatever this controls." Max said as he found what he was looking for.
"No, if the Master needs anything he just calls us."
Max grinned. "Good." He said as he started to press a bunch of buttons, opening every door the counsel could control. "Now we have access to everything." He said before smashing the controls with his cane. "And no one can stop us."
The two magic user quickly ran out of the control room while looking at the map as they ran.
"Nice job back their." Luna said with a smile as she looked at the map. "You've gotten smarter since we last met."
Max throw her a grin. "And you've gotten stronger." He said before looking at the map. "Alright, we're here." Max said slowly as he pointed to a spot on the map. "And Walker should be here." Max said with a big grin as he folded the map. "Let's go beat the shit out of a warden."
Skulker's face whipped to the side as he felt a strong punch to the cheek before he jumped back. Both Skulker and Bullet were locked in a fist fight after they disarmed each other's weapons. Bullet was a skilled fighter, just as skilled as Skulker, and if the hunter didn't have his amulet then he would of been long dead.
Bullet cracked his neck as he looked at Skulker. "I'm impressed that a human last this long against me, I was expecting only the werewolves to give me a challenge."
Skulker snorted at the Lizard man as they squared off. "Please, if you can't take me down then you have no chance against the whelp."
That peaked Bullet's interest. "You've fought before, haven't you."
"Yeah, come fight me to see who won." Skulker said in a cocky voice before the two charged.
Back on the ground below the hunter Danny was locked in a battle with Rex. The dinosaur wasn't as strong as Tombstone, but he made up for that with speed, almost being as fast as Danny. He also had thick scales that even Danny's claws had trouble cutting. The homunculus were able to separate Danny and Wulf, forcing them to abandon there hit and run idea.
The Guardian slashed his claws across Rex's back, barley making four claw marks. The dinosaur roared as Danny and managed to graze the werewolf with his claws. Danny jumped back a few feet while panting. While Rex and Tombstone were dumb as bricks they were resilient to hell. Trying a new approach Danny lowered his fist while focusing his aura into it, then rocketing off to the homunculus. Before the dinosaur even reacted Danny slammed his fist right into it's chest, making it freeze in place.
"Phantom Fist-Heartbreak!"
Rex didn't, couldn't moved as Danny pulled his fist back slowly while looking at the frozen homunculus.
"Even if you can't feel pain, your body is still a body." Danny said as he pulled his leg back slowly. "It had blood, organs, and a heart." He said before his foot was coated with aura. "I might not be able to hurt your skin very well, but I can hurt your insides."
Just as the homunculus was able to move Danny slammed his foot into Rex's gut, sending it flying through the air until it slammed into a create.
With Wulf the werewolf was having a rough time. Tombstone may be slow but was extremely durable and felt no pain, not only that but his attacks were relentless, never stopping even if Wulf stabbed him claws.
Wulf's head jerked to the side as he was sent flying by the homunculus. The werewolf smacked into a create hard making a large dent with his back before falling to the ground. Pushing himself up Wulf coughed up a glob of blood before glaring at Tombstone, before they widen before Wulf jumped out the way of Tombstone's attack.
Once getting some distance Wulf painted as he grabbed his side, feeling his ribs slowly heal. The werewolf let out a growl before bringing his claws up, which were giving off a green aura.
"Ci tio finigas nun!" (This ends now!) Wulf yelled before both of his claws grow about an a foot long and glowing green.
Tombstone gave a roar before charging at Wulf with his arms raised. The werewolf didn't move an inch as the homunculus charged at him like a train, instead Wulf pulled back both his arms and tense up his arms until his muscles bulged.
Just as Tombstone reached the werewolf the homunculus brought his arms down fast, but was stopped by something faster.
"Lupo Fang!"
Moving his hands down in a blur Wulf's claws sliced both of Tombstones arms clean off. The hunks of gray meat fell to the floor with a slap, spilling black blood onto the floor. Despite the arm loss Tombstone let out a roar before slamming his chest into Wulf, throwing the werewolf into a wall. Wulf growled before letting out a roar, charging at the armless homunculus.
Back with Max and Luna the two were running through the maze like complex as they tried to find Walker's office. The two were eventually able to find the hallway that led to Walker but were cut off by a firing squad protecting the hallway.
Max whipped his pistol around the corner of the stone hallway and fired back at the guards shooting at them. The spellslinger managed to drop two of the guards before his gun was empty.
"Shit, I'm out!" Max said as he throw the gun away. "There too far way for me to do any serious damage from here."
Max's BlackWater might have a large distance, but the down side was the farther it went from him the weaker it was. Meaning he couldn't cut or stab the guard from the long hallway.
"Then don't attack, redetect!" Luna said over the gunfire.
Max blinked at her for a moment before smacking his head. "Your fucking brilliant, you know that." Max said before wiping around the corner, not noticing Luna blush.
Wiping around the corner Max sent a strong jet of BlackWater right at one of the guards. The BlackWater coiled around the guards arm and directed it's gun towards the side, shooting the guards next to it. While that happened Max and Luna wiped around the corner and charged at the distracted guards.
"Hydra!"
As soon as those words were said nine spear like tendrils popped out of Max's duster and all shot towards the guards. The homunculus didn't have time to react as the spears shot through there heads and chest without any resistance whatsoever.
"Walker is down this hall, not far." Luna said as she put a hand on the large door before whipping her head back. "More guards are on there way."
"Fuck." Max said as he looked between the door and the other end of the hallway. "We can't deal with Walker and his guards at the same time."
"...Let's split up." Max turned to Luna with a WTF look. "I'll handle the guards while you take care of Walker and stop the Cube."
"Luna that's-" Max started to protest but was quickly cut off.
"There's no time Max!" Luna yelled, her usual bubbly personality gone. "That horrible contraption must be stopped, there may still be living people in there!"
Max grit his teeth hard as he stared at Luna. She was right and Max knew the girl could handle herself, but if anything happened to Luna, he would never forgive himself.
Sucking in a deep breath Max grabbed Luna's shoulders. "Stay safe and don't die." He said before bringing her into a hug and handed her the map.
Luna smiled as she returned the hug. "Don't worry, we'll both make it out of this." She said before pulling back. "Now go and kick his ass."
Max just let out a laugh as he started to run down the hallway. "It's always cute to see you swear like that Luna!" Max called in a teasing voice as before going into a full sprint down the hall.
Luna had a big blush on her face before she shook her head hard, a fierce look on her face. "We will make it out of here." She said before turning around, looking to the end of the hall to see a small squad running at her.
"Chaos Ball!"
Skulker doubled over in pain when he felt Bullet's foot meet his stomach, hard. Gritting his teeth the hunter grabbed the lizard man by his cape before head-butting him, hearing a satisfying crake. Bullet screamed in pain before kicking Skulker back, making him slide across the catwalk.
The fight had escalated as time went on. Skulker lost his amulet in the middle of the fight and was now fighting Bullet with his normal strength, which he was clearly at a disadvantage. Not only was Bullet stronger then Skulker the lizard man's skin was more durable, making any punches Skulker throw half as strong.
Out of the two fighters Skulker was the more heavily injured. The hunter's left eye was swollen shut, he had small gashes all over his body he received from the lizard man's claws, and he was missing a tooth. Bullet on the other hand only had a few burses all over his body and the broken nose Skulker just gave him, though it seemed to not bother the lizard man.
"I have to admit, I never thought a human could give me this much trouble." Bullet said in a mocking tone as he whipped the blood from his nose. "I thought you be dead by now."
Skulker panted for air as he felt light headed. "Like I said, don't underestimate me." Skulker said between pants as he struggled to stand as blood ran down his body.
Bullet just snorted as he creaked his knuckles. "Oh you gave me a run for my money, but your still only human." Bullet said with a laugh as he held his arms out. "You have no weapons, no magic, now enchanted items, and no aura. There is no way you can beat me."
Skulker gave a bloody grin before he charged at Bullet, catching the lizard man off guard. The hunter sent a large swing at the lizard man who was able to block it easily, but as soon as Skulker's fist connected the hunter grabbed Bullet by the shoulders and drove his knee into the lizard man's stomach, making him double over in pain. The hunter then grabbed Bullet from behind the waist before picking the lizard man up and slamming him into the catwalk headfirst.
Bullet grit his teeth in pain before stabbing Skulker in the arms, getting his claws deep. But the hunter didn't stop his attack, instead he flipped over Bullet and got him into a headlock, smashing his face into the catwalk.
"The thing about us hunters Bullet, is that we are weak." Skulker whispered into the lizard man's ear, making him freeze. "We're fragile human's with no magic, super strength, or enhanced bodies. But do you want to know the funny thing." Skulker said as he slowly squeezed his arms around Bullet's neck, cutting off his air. "It's humans that are running the world, and it's the supernatural that runs from hunters. Not because we're strong enough to beet you." The hunter leaned forward with his mouth right next to Bullet's ear. "It's because we're just strong enough to kill you."
Bullet felt like he'd been dunked in cold water as he felt Skulker move his arm.
"NOOOOOOO-"
*SNAP!*
Bullet's body stiffened before going limp on the catwalk, his eyes blank. Skulker gave a big sigh before letting the lizard man go and rolling off him.
"Fuck, everything hurts." Skulker said with a painful chuckle as he pushed himself up. "Need to ask that kid for another potion." He said before standing on the catwalk and looking to the ground below, and what he saw made him smirk. "I see your not dead yet whelp!"
Danny gave a loud sigh as he looked over the dead Rex below him, who had a big hole where his heart should be. The guardian looked to the side to see Wulf also standing over the large gray homunculus, who was now missing a head.
Looking up Danny gave Skulker the finger. "Fuck you Skulker, at least I don't look like one of Freddy Krueger's victims." He said getting a snort from the hunter. "Anyway we better move and try to find Max and Luna, hopefully they found a way out. You alright Wulf?"
The large werewolf nodded as he changed back to his human form. "Mi estas vundita, sed mi vivos." (I am injured, but I will live.)
Danny nodded, though he did not understand. "Well, let's move."
"Oniate!"
A somewhat large black hand shot out of Max's duster and pinned a guard to a wall. A moment later Max's cane stabbed the guard right in the head making the homunculus go limp.
The spellslinger sighed before he moved on. It's been a few minutes since Max separated from Luna and the spellslinger had only ran into a few guards, each one stronger then the last.
"I'm getting close." Max muttered before he started to move.
When Max turned a corner he came face to face with a rather impressive double door. The double doors were impressive at the end of a large open hallway. Glancing around Max saw no immediate danger and started to run to the door. That was his first mistake.
As soon as the spellslinger was 30 feet from the door several gun torrents popped out of the wall. The fist shot hit Max right in his left thigh, making the spellslinger bit back a scream. Before the other shots could get him Max quickly used Slick Shoes and slid to the door as fast as he could. Using the BlackWater on his duster Max was able to block most of the bullets and push himself fast, some of the bullets did hit his sides, but luckily his duster was lined with Kevlar.
A second later as Max barreled through the hale of gunfire his body smashed into the double doors, smashing them open with his body. As Max crashed to the floor his BlackWater shot out of his duster and slammed the doors closed behind him.
The spellslinger sighed before getting up off the floor, wincing as he moved his left leg.
"Should of expected traps." Max muttered as he brought out a healing potion and quickly healed his leg.
Getting up from the floor Gemini looked around to find himself in a large office. The room was nothing special, purple stone walls, a large metal desk in the center, A large self portrait of Walker himself, and a large computer to the side with around a 100 monitors. Looking at the monitors Max saw the monitors were showing the rooms in the Cube.
"This sick fuck." Max growled as he scanned the controls. "Where's the off button?" Max said as he searched the controls for any type of off button.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." A dark voice said behind Max, making him freeze. "You might kill all those people inside."
Without thinking Max dove to the side with all his strength. A second later a bullet hit a monitor Max was looking at. Max whipped around and was instantly chocked out when something wrapped around his neck. Chocking Max was none other then a very pissed off Walker, who lifted the spellslinger off the ground by his neck.
"You and your little group have caused me enough trouble." Walker said before he leveled a revolver right at Max's.
Max's eyes glazed over as he felt his wind-pipe get crushed. Looking at the end of the revolver Max's eyes widen when he saw it was his very own revolver. Gritting his teeth in anger Max glared at Skulker.
"Level 3!" With one hand Max smacked the gun out of the pale man's hand, getting a shocked look. With the other hand Max grabbed Walker's wrist and snapped it as hard as he could.
The warden dropped the spellslinger while screaming in pain and grabbing his now broken wrist. With a snarl the pale warden back hand Max hard, sending the spellslinger flying.
Rolling to the ground Max didn't waist any time throwing himself up. Whipping the blood from his mouth Max raised his cane and a jet of BlackWater shout out of his duster. The BlackWater shot forward and grabbed the revolver from the floor before bringing it to Max's hand. Leveling the gun Max aimed right at Walker with a glare.
"Fuck you." He said before pulling the trigger.
But to Max's shock the warden's hand shot up and caught the bullet. Looking closer the spellslinger noticed the wardens body was glowing green as he dropped the bullet from his hand. Aiming again Max pulled the trigger three more times until the gun clicked empty. The bullet's hit Walker's body but seemed to just fall with a thud as soon as they made contact, though they did leave holes in his suit.
When the gun clicked empty Max growled before putting the gun in his duster.
"What the fuck are you?" Max asked with a growl as Walker stood up from the floor. "Your not a homunculus but your sure as shit not human, so what kind of freak show are you?"
Walker gave a laugh as he lowed her hands, which were now glowing brighter. "I'm more human then you'll ever be."
With impassive speed's Walker charged while rising his glowing hands at Max. Acting fast two Oniate hands shot out of Max's duster and met Walker's hand, but to Max's shock the warden blasted the dark hands apart with impressive power. Glaring at the warden Max sent two more Oniate and this time grabbed Walker by the wrists.
Walker ginned at the spellslinger. "Do you really thing such a weak spell can hold-"
"Surge."
Walker screamed in pain as electricity shot through his body, making him fall to one knee. A moment later Max's BlackWater wrapped around his body and held him in place.
"Frost Coffin!"
The BlackWater froze almost instantly, trapping Walker. Walking up to the struggling warden Max pulled out his gun and opened the chamber. Max focused his BlackWater into the gun before slamming it close and pointing it at Walker's head.
"Black Bullet!"
As soon as Max pulled the trigger Frost Coffin exploded, making Max's aim with the gun off. With a roar Walker punched Max in the stomach with his glowing fist, sending the spellslinger flying back into the monitor.
The spellslinger gave a cry of pain as he body collided with the controls to the monitor, feeling them break under his weight. As Max got off the controls and Walker charged the two froze from what they heard next.
"Password accepted, Cube shutdown engaged."
Slowly the two turned to the monitor to see the Cube being slowly shut down, all the doors opening and traps deactivation.
"...Did my ass just pull a Deus Ex Machina?" Max said in disbelief.
Walker let out a roar before he charged at the spellslinger, his face having pure rage on it. Max whipped his had back and raised his cane as fast as he could.
"Hydra!"
Several spearheads shot out of Max's duster and slammed into Walker's body, stopping the warden in place. But it only lasted a second before the same green glow covered his body and he blasted the attack off.
"Don't think your attacks will harm-" Walker was cut off when Max slammed his fist into the warden's jaw.
"Surge, Level 4!" Max shouted as he hand glowed blue.
Walker screamed in pain as his whole body shook as he was send flying back into the large picture frame. But to Max's surprise Walker flew through the frame, leaving a big hole in the wall. Running up to the hole Max saw another room on the small side. The most noticeable thing in the room was a strange pod in the center along with a weird looking chair off to the side. Before Max could get a better look at the room Walker came running out with his fist raised before slamming them down in front of the spellslinger, forcing Max to jump back.
The pale warden rushed out of the room with a slight frantic expression on his face, making Max raise an eyebrow.
"...What's in that room?" Max asked as he glanced at the room.
"You'll never find out!" Walker yelled as he shot his hands forward.
As soon as Walker stretched out of his hands two green blasts shot, making Max jump to the side. The blast his the controls destroying everything.
"No!" Walker yelled in shock as he stared at broken controls.
Seeing an opening Max whipped out his gun and pointed it to Walker.
"Black Bullet!"
Pulling the trigger five time the black bullets all hit Walker square in the chest, knocking him off his feet. The bullets didn't pears through his skin, but they did have enough force to knock the wind out of the warden. Not wasting any time Six fell to one knee and slammed his cane on the ground.
"Oniate!"
An extremely large black hand shot out of Max's back and flew right as Walker with extreme speeds. The hand grabbed the warden's body and throw him into the secret room before pinning him against a wall. Putting a hand against the large black hand Max's hand glowed blue.
"Surge!"
Max poured a good chunk of his magic into spell, making Walker scream at the top of his lungs. After a few seconds Max stopped the spell and running into the room at full speed, not stopping Oniate pinning Walker to the wall. As Max entered the room he saw a smocking Walker start to slowly glow green.
"Not this time!" The spellslinger yelled before leaping forward with his hand stretched out.
"Frost!"
The black hand pinning Walker's entire upper body froze completely solid in a single second, making Walker scream in pain again as the BlackIce burned his skin. The sudden pain was enough for the green glow to fade from Walker's body before he went limp in the ice.
Max let out a sigh as he pulled the BlackWater that wasn't frozen back onto his duster, which was now less then half. Without saying a word to the warden Max walked over to the strange chair and looked it over. It looked like a metal electric chair with a strange helmet above it. Connected to the chair was a large wire that lead to the pod not far. Walking up to the pod Max looked through the small window and saw someone inside through a small layer of fog on the outside. Whipping the small window Max got a perfect view of who was inside... and was shocked at what he saw.
Max took a step back before looking at Walker with disbelief. "How... is that fucking possible?" Max asked before looking back into the pod.
Inside the high-tech pod was an old, wrinkly, skinny man that looked over 100 years old. And he looked exactly like Walker.
Rushing back to the chair Max put a hand in the large cable before closing his eyes. After a few seconds they stepped open with a shocked expression.
Standing up slowly Max made his way over to the dazed Walker. As soon as he was close Max backhanded the warden, snapping him out of his daze.
"So let me see if I got this right." Max said as he through his thumb to the pod. "That's your real body in there, and this body is just something you take for a ride. All this allows you to live longer then you should... am I right?"
Walker gained an angry look as he struggled to move in the BlackIce. "I will kill you all you abomination!"
"Say's the guy playing Frankenstein." Max said with a snort. "But really, I think dropped the ball when you allowed this body to feel pain. Kind of an intentional design flaw."
Walker growled at the spellslinger as his body glowed softly green. "Do not criticize my work methods boy! Pain is something that makes me human and to push ones self to the limits of there-"
Before Walker could finish his rant Max slammed his cane against the ice, instantly shattering it. As Walker landed on his feet Max was on him in a second with his leg pulled back.
"Level-"
The spellslinger pulled his leg as far back as he could before swinging it swiftly up between Walker's legs.
"5!"
A noticeable creak was heard, weather it be from Walker's pelvis or his balls Max didn't know. What he did know was that the kick was strong enough to bring Walker's body a good foot in the air as the warden squeaked. Walker fell to his knees while holding his crotch, his body twitching in pain.
"I'm... going... to..." Walker wheezed out as he glared at Max. "Kill-"
"No."
Faster then Walker could react a black tentacle shot of Max's duster and sliced of Walker's head without any effort. The head fell to the ground with a wet splat as green blood spilled out of Walker's body. Max gave a long sigh as he turned around and headed straight for the pod.
As soon as the spellslinger was close four black tendrils shot out of Max's duster and into the pod. There was a screech of tarring, wires breaking, and steam going off. Then with a grunt the lid of the pod was flung open as Max throw the lid to the side.
Max got a good look of the body inside. It was wither to only skin and bone, a bunch of wires stuck inside the body and head, and the skin was a pale gray.
Suddenly the body's eyes snapped opened before gasping painfully for air. The eyes were unfocused for a long moment before they turned to Max.
"What... have... you... done?" Walker rasped as his body twitched. "Years of planning... wasted."
Max just looked at the 'human' before snorting and shaking his head. "Fuck you, fuck your planning, and just fuck your crazy ass." Max said as he held out his arms. "What person in there right mind thinks this is a good idea? Did you really think this fucking death trap could make a difference, that you could make a difference?" Max said before he slammed his hands on the side of the pod, making it shake. "Don't make me laugh! Your nothing but a psychopath trying to justify his actions while you take pleasure killing hundreds, if not thousands! Why even do this in the fist place!?"
Walker rasped for air as he tried to move his arms, but it was impossible from the little muscles he had. "I lost my family... to the supernatural... they became too curious... and lost there lives..." Walker argued with a rasp. "My wife... my two daughters... a son... all lost to the freaks in the world."
Max slammed his hand against the side of the pod hard. "Don't play the pity card Walker! Don't use your family's death to justify this! How is this fucking monstrosity suppose to help anyone other then your sick pleasure!" Max shouted before he pushed off the pod. "You are nothing but a shell of a human."
That seemed to piss Walker off enough to get the man to move his arm. "I am more human then you'll ever be." Walker said as loud as he could, which wasn't much.
Max started to walk away from the pod while looking at Walker. "You know the funny thing Walker, I don't even think you are anymore, at least not on the inside." He said before he started to make his way out.
Walker's eyes widen as he stared at Max. "Where... are you... going?" He said with slight fear.
Max looked back with a dark glare, but also a small smirk. "Killing you would be too quick, but with your body and how it was now it should only take a matter of hours before you kill over. But it will be very slowly." The spellslinger said before making his way out of the hidden room.
"No... come back... and finish me..." Walker rasped in a panic voice as he tried to move. "No... No..."
"Game over Walker." Max said before he left.
"Noooo~"
Xx(Natural by: Imagine Dragon-END)xX
Danny, Skulker, and Wulf all ran down a destroyed hallway as fast as he could, running over a bunch of guards bodies.
"This the magic users work?" Skulker asked as he looked at some of the mutilated bodies.
Danny glanced at the bodies from the corner of his eye but didn't stop running. "Has to be, I know for a fact how ruthless Max can get when he isn't holding back." Danny said before passing a body that looked more like red paste. "Luna on the other hand... well you saw her big spell." He said making the other two shiver.
"Do not fuck with that blond." Skulker muttered getting a fast nod from Wulf.
Turning a corner Danny stopped dead in his tracks at what he saw, also causing Skulker and Wulf to pause.
"Um..." Danny said slowly as he stared at the end of the hallway.
At the very end of a long hallway was a bloody blond girl. The hallway was covered in blood and body parts and Luna Lovegood stood in the center while panting for air.
"Hey guys." Luna said with a tired wave as she slowly walked to them. "Max's not here right now, he went to go take care of Walker." She said with a bloody smile.
"...What did I tell you, do not fuck with that girl." Skulker whispered to Wulf, who nodded like crazy.
Danny walked up to the bloody blond with a concerned look on his face. "Luna, what the fuck happened?"
Luna looked around with a sheepish expression on her face. "The guards started to come after me and Max hard, and we were close to Walker. So we had to split up and divide there power, Max going after Walker and me staying behind." Luna said as she looked around. "That was about 20 minutes ago."
Danny just stared at Luna for a lone moment before taking a big step back. "Ok... so..." Danny just stood uncomfortable as he looked anywhere but at Luna. "I think we should find Max-"
"What the fuck!"
Everyone looked down to see Max turn a corner with a shocked expression on his face.
"Max!" Luna said in a relived voice as she ran up to the spellslinger.
When Max's eyes landed on Luna they almost bulged out of his head. "Luna, what the fuck happened to you!?" He shouted at the blond hugged him, getting blood all over his body.
Luna pulled back from the hug and gave Max a smile. "There were a lot of guards coming, so I had to use Chaos Ball again." He said, instantly bringing understanding to everyone.
Max shook his head and raised his cane. "Let's get you cleaned up." Max said as his BlackWater shot out of his duster and washed over Luna's body, taking all the blood off of her. "Now, we can focus getting out of here." He said as the BlackWater left Luna's body and back onto his duster.
"What happened to Walker?" Danny asked his friend.
Max turned to everyone with serious look. "Took care of him. Turns out the Walker we saw was a Bio Doll." He said making Luna's eyes widen while the other looked confused.
"What the hell is a Bio Doll?" Skulker asked.
The spellslinger had a thoughtful look on his face before he spoke. "Think of a Bio Doll like a homunculus, only someone creates a connection with the body to control it from somewhere else. That's what Walker was doing." Max explained while rubbing his forehead. "Honestly it was something I read when I was a kid, a theory really. Never thought I would see the real thing."
"So what happened to Walker?" Danny asked again.
Max shrugged. "Found his real body in a pod and let me tall you, dude was old as balls. Like a 150 years old." He said shocking everyone. "The guy looked more like a skeleton then a person. I just left him outside his pod, I wouldn't even be surprised if he died from being exposed to the air." He said with a dark look in his eyes before he shook his head. "I was able to find the controls to the Cube and I was able to shut it down somehow, but I don't know how we're going to get them out." He said with a troubled look on his face.
Luna put a hand on Max's shoulder, a concerned look on her face. "Let's leave this place Max, then we can get them help." She said with a small smile, making Max smile.
"But how, this place is just as much a maze as the Cube." Skulker said while looking around.
"With this!" Luna said with a smile as she pulled the map from her bag. "Max found this map when he found the control room, all we have to do is fallow this to the exit." She said as she handed the map to a stun Danny.
The Guardian quickly looked over the map with a big smile on his face. "You two are amazing you know that." Danny said but didn't look up. After a moment of looking over the map the werewolf started to move. "This way!" He said before running down the bloody hall.
The group ran with a new feeling of hope in there minds, they still ran into some of the guards but it was nothing they couldn't handle.
After about 15 minutes of running the group soon found a somewhat elevator platform. The elevator platform was about the size of a three elevators, and it looked to go straight up into a dark elevator shaft.
Looking at the map Danny stepped forward. "I think if we take this straight up we'll finally make it out." Danny said as he walked up to a yellow control that was in the corner of the platform, which had a few buttons and a large lever. "Everyone ready?" He asked while looking back, getting a nod from everyone. "Then, going up!" Danny said as he pushed the lever all the way up.
The platform blasted up with impressive speeds that it almost knocked everyone to the ground. There was loud screech heard as the platform moved against the wall with it's speed, not only that there seemed to be sparks forming off on the walls. Everyone fell to there knees from the speed and held onto the floor, all hoping the elevator didn't blast through the top.
"How fast did you put it whelp!" Skulker yelled as he put his hands on the floor, trying not to fall over.
"I just pushed it to the lever to the top!" Danny said as he grit his teeth. "It said 'Surface Level' next to it!"
"If I die I will hang your head on a wall for this!" Skulker yelled as the platform started to move faster.
After about a few minutes on the platform it slowly came to a stop, making everyone sigh in relief.
"...I think I left my stomach down there." Max ground with a painful laugh, making everyone else laugh.
Getting up from the floor Danny looked around to see a single door against a wall. Walking up to the door Danny was a little surprised it opened to easily, and saw the door lead down a small metal tunnel. Looking back Danny saw everyone standing up and looking through the door. With a small nod Danny started to lead the group down the small hallway and it wasn't long before they found a small ladder going up to a small hatch.
Changing into his Wolf-Boost form Danny looked back. "Get ready for anything." He said before turning back.
The guardian slowly climbed the later up to the small hatch. Once there Danny took the lock off the hatch Danny throw the hatch up with all he had and jumped up. Danny was surprised to find himself in an old wooden cabin. Looking around Danny found the cabin had dust, mold, and spider-webs all over it, showing it had not been used in years.
"It's clear!" Danny called back as he climbed out of the floor.
After a minute everyone claimed out of the hatch before Wulf slammed it shut. Once out everyone looked around slowly before Danny started to walk to front door. Opening the door slowly Danny was met with a thick green forest.
Looking back Danny gave everyone a grin. "We're out." He said with a sigh a relief.
There was a stun silence before everyone cheered. Skulker and Wulf roared with all they had to the sky in victory, Luna cried into Max's duster as he held her, Danny just took deep breaths to calm itself as he took out his amulet.
Pressing the button in the eye Danny almost cried in relief when a familiar face appeared.
"KNight Wolf?!" Writer shouted in surprise. "Where are you, your family reported you and a friend missing about a day ago, we've been trying to find you ever sinc-"
"Writer," Danny cut off the man with a serious expression. "I need you to send a team to where I am right now. Things are fucked up here, like really fucked up." Danny said as he rubbed his face.
Writer looked surprised before his face morphed into a stern expression. "Explain."
Looking back at everyone Danny saw he had everyone's attention before he turned back. "Have you ever heard of 'Azrael's Puzzle Box'?"
Writer nearly fell over in shock before he slammed his hands down on his keyboard hard. "Where are you, now!" He said with a dark aura around his body.
After talking with Writer Danny and his group were all taken to Prime as soon as possible. Once other Guardians and Observers started to come to Danny's location the surviving group were quickly taken away to see Prime using a portal. It took a few hours for the leader of the Observers to come to them, but in that time everyone got a hot meal and a good shower in one of the Observer's base.
Once Prime had made it to the base the surviving group were taken to a office.
It wasn't long before Danny, Max, Skulker, Wulf, and Luna were all standing in front of Prime, who had a troubled expression on his face. Writer was also in the room with a pissed off expression as he typed on a floating keyboard.
Prime looked to Danny with a tired smile on his old face. "You have pulled through in an impossible odd KNight Wolf." Prime said as he looked through a folder. "Azrael's Puzzle Box has been something the Observers have been trying to find for years."
"You guys knew about it?" Danny asked with a shocked expression, along with anyone else.
Prime nodded with a sigh. "We have been trying to track down the Cube for a lone time now. We got word of such a device about 20 years ago from a man who escaped." He said before rubbing his eyes. "But he did not give us much information, since his mind was broken beyond repair." He said, making everyone wince. "You are all very lucky to be alive."
"Don't have to tell me twice." Max said as he folded his arms. "We were lucky Walker has never caught a Seer, or he would of found some way to block Luna's ability."
"Don't sell yourself short kid." Skulker said with a snort. "If you weren't taking out collars off then we would all be burned to a crisp right now."
"It was thanks to everyone where that we got away." Danny said with a small grin. "So what's going to happen to the Cube."
"It will be destroyed as soon as all the people are taken out and anything dangerous." Writer said with a hard look on his face. "How dare that mad man use Azrael's name for that sick device." He muttered with a dark aura around his body.
Prime nodded his head. "Writer is right about the Cube being destroyed, you have nothing to worry about." Prime said before he folded his hands. "Now I would like to ask you all another question, other then KNight Wolf." He said grabbing the groups attention. "...How would you all like to become Guardian's?" He asked, shocking the group.
"Whoa, Guardian's, why are you asking us that?" Max said as he rubbed his head. "Don't you have to do some research on people for this?"
Prime just waved his hand. "We know enough about each of you Mr. Dark," Prime said, again shocking the group. "To know that each of you can become Guardian's. But know that you have every right to say no to this offer."
The group of survivors were all quiet for a long moment, each with thoughtful looks.
Finally after a minute someone spoke. "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to say no." Max said with a small smile, surprising the group. "I don't mind helping out Danny, but actually being a Guardian is not my thing. I perfume to do my thing."
"Yes, I can tell you like to do your own thing." Prime said with a snort as he leaned back in his chair. "I take it you were the one that left Walker out of his pod."
"I'm not sorry." Max said with a shrug.
"And I'm not mad. I just wish we could of question him longer. But after being exposed to the air he only has about a year to live." He said with a small sigh. "Oh well, hopefully we can still get some information out of him before he dies." He said before looking to the other. "And all of you?"
Skulker was the next to speak. "I'm going to have to agree with the kid. Being a Guardian is not really my thing, also I still need to finish up a contract I have." He said getting a nod from Prime.
"I wish to continue my life as a Naturalist, so I'm sorry to say I will not become a Guardian." Luna said with a smile.
"...I wish to become a Guardian." Wulf said with a serious look, surprising everyone.
Prime gave a smile to the older teen. "Your name is Wulf right, from the Spirit Village right." He said getting a surprised look from Wulf. "If you wish to become a Guardian, you may." He said getting a big smile from the other Werewolf. "Know I believe you all have been through a lot today and deserve some rest. An Observer will take you wherever you want to go." He said, getting everyone to smile. "You may all wait outside for an Observer to take you where you want."
With that said all the survivors started to make there way out of the office, all looking extremely tired.
"Fuck, I'm going to take the longest bath of my life." Danny said as he rubbed his shoulder.
Max glanced at Luna with a curious look. "So where are you heading now Luna?"
The blond girl gave a shrug as she looked at Max. "I don't know, my Nargles search didn't go so well, so I don't know what to do."
"Well why don't you come with us?" Max offered, surprising Luna a bit. "I got a place and an extra bedroom, you can stay there until you decide to do what you want."
Luna had a stun look on her face before she gave Max the biggest smile he'd seen yet. "Sure!"
As soon as the group of survivors left Prime's face morphed into a hard look.
"Is it true on what they found?" Prime asked Writer in a low voice.
Writer had a dark look on his face, but was also nervous. "Yes. It was at the bottom of the Cube." Writer said with a troubled look on his face. "Sir... what was that thing? It was powerful enough to power the entire complex without any problem."
Prime was silent for a long moment. "That is something I cannot share with you Writer." Prime said in a grave voice, getting a shocked look from Writer. "But I can tell you this my friend, there are more of them out there, and we must not let them fall into the wrong hands no matter what. Because if we do..." Prime then turned Writer with a grave look on his face. "Many, many, lives will be lost." Prime said as he looked at a picture of the item of concern.
The photo showed a large pure blood red crystal sparking with black energy.
"I pray to whatever god is listening that we find these first before someone else dose." Prime said as the burned the photo with his magic.
21N: See, I didn't give up on this story.
Sorry it took so long to update this, I wrote myself into a corner by accident and hade to rewrite the whole thing. I'm going to try and update this story more often then the others.
1: For those of you who don't like Max very much and feel like it should all be about Danny, please try to give my OC a chance. I think having a whole story around just one character is how a story falls and gets boring, so sometimes I'm going to have Max be the center of attention, or Jazz, or another character.
2: Bullet was a Lizard Man, obviously, so here's a description on his kind.
Lizard People- Lizard People are known to live in humid or swampy area do to there lizard like nature. They have a verity of colored scales they are born with and may change color along with there skin as they get older.

Strengths- Enhanced strength and senses, a weak infrared, and able to breath underwater. Some Lizard people have also been known to create poisons from there bodies.
Weaknesses- Because of there lizard like bodies Lizard People can die if exposed to too much cold. They are also venereal to strong smells do to there enhanced senses.
