Hey guys! What's up? This is pretty annoying. Not having a PC is a horrible thing if you're supposed to WORK ON THE COMPUTER! (Throws everything) MOTHER FUCKER.
Sky: Wait, aren't you getting a new one in April?
Me: ~Somewhere really far away~ HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE UNTIL THEN?!
~Crash, something shatters~
Celeste: ELU, THAT'S GLASS.
~Everyone screams~
Deadlox's PoV
I am fully healed already. I stretch, glancing around. You know what's worse than chaos going around the base? Complete. Fucking. Silence. There was NO ONE AROUND. There was only an occasional mage running around frantically. That is not a good sign. Nervously, I whip out my phone and call Adam as fast as I could.
I held the phone to my ear carefully, listening to the rings. Thank god I heard that familiar cracking. "Ty?" Sky's voice streams through the phone.
"Hey! Hey, Adam! What are you doing?" I ask.
"I'm trying to catch up to Ian and the others. They just went off to find Fluffy. They'll need backup, probably. You should tag along." Adam responds. Strangely, I could sense a tone of bitterness in his voice, which certainly wasn't directed to me… I shrugged it off. A lot's been going on lately.
"Sure. I'll meet up with you at the gate."
~20 minutes pass~
I dive onto the tree, scraping my face against the leaves. "Ohmy god, TY, TELEPORT ME!" Sky screams from the bottom of the tree. I laugh and throw the teleport crystal into the air, automatically teleporting Adam next to me. He punches me in the arm. "Douche." He snaps. I stumble and grin, hurrying off to continue. Right. This isn't a parkour map, but it sure felt like it. Good times, old times.
Adam glances at his compass. "Just across this forest and we should meet up with them!" He exclaims. I sprint across the tops, seeing the sun rising in the horizon. Sky was a few blocks away from me, gazing up at the clouds. One… I crouch and shuffle closer to him. Two… I stand behind him cautiously… THREE! I kick him from behind, sending him flying into the air. "TYYYYYYYYYYY WHAT THE HELL…..!" I hear a hard smack, a slow splash, and a shriek. The shriek oddly sounded like… the mudkip.
I chuckle and jump off the tree, then landing in a pond. Sky was standing next to a terrified Quentin, a shocked Seto, and a fainted Ian. I start giggling insanely. Everyone was soaked. "I am going to kill you eventually, Ty." Sky says, chasing me down.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
~A long while of screaming and chasing~
I collapse on the ground, wheezing and laughing. Sky flopped around, obviously exhausted. I glance over, realizing that Quentin and Seto were trying to revive Ian. "Where's Mitch?" I ask them. Seto turns his attention to me, giving me a sad smile. "He prefers to be…. Inside the tent alone." The fuck? Mitch always wants to be outside during camp or something. He's always killing mobs or something… Weird.
I guess he has his moods.
"Hey guys, I've gonna retrieve some firewood, okay?" Adam shouts to us. I nod, waving him off. It wasn't long before I heard a yell. I feel a harsh tap on my shoulder and whip around. "WHAT THE FUCK?!" I shriek, Celeste, Lilia, and Jay appearing behind me. Celeste grins. "What's up, Ty?" She says sheepishly. "Where are all of you- what- augh. Just come with me!" I mutter, racing off to Sky's direction. I heard the sound of Ian, Quentin, Seto, and surprisingly Mitch catching up to us.
I see Adam standing near a giant hole. "Guys, wait! Stop!" He says, throwing his hands up in defense. Luckily, he stopped us before we crashed into him. Golden Jay hurries up to the hole, carefully peering in. "It looks like some sort of… entrance…" She says, her face lighting up like a turnip when she realizes how wrong that sounded. The group erupted into stifled giggles. God, we are way too MATURE, AHAHA, no. Jay pouts. "Portal. PORTAL, I mean." She blurts out desperately, trying not to laugh as well.
Seto lightly tosses an item into the portal. We didn't hear a hiss or anything. Just a weird, swirly sound. "It sounds… like an average nether portal. Seems safe to me. Everyone wearing armor? Gear?" Seto asks. Everyone glances down. I was wearing grey shoulder-plates, a sword equipped on my waist. Everyone else was pretty stacked too. I shrugged. "Let's go, shall we?" I exclaim. Everyone takes one more look around, and we all dive in.
Seto's PoV
I hear the Overworld disappear behind me, my feet sailing quickly through colorful nothing. Swirls spin around me. I look around; all my friends were muted in the sheer gravity drop. Although, I could tell they were screaming, the way their eyes were squeezed shut and their mouths were wide open. Suddenly, I realized that my lungs were aching. I was screaming as well, but I couldn't hear myself. What is this?
I see a dark purple portal ending at the end of the very long tunnel of swirls. I shield myself, a bright light blinding me. I hear a hard thud! My butt collides on some sort of brick. I groan, rubbing my forehead. I open my eyes, waiting for the blurriness to clear. "Oh my fucking god- hell no." I hear Sky's voice ring out. My eyes clear up, and I see a dark figure sitting on a red, leathery throne many meters away from us. A flash of green hair, and I know. "My! You've found me!" That familiar voice sneers. I could feel myself freezing in fear.
Madeline.
The ice-blue eyed girl struts up from the throne. She raises her hand up to the sky. I hear a stumbled walk from behind, and I gasp sharply. You have to be fucking with me.
Frost, Primrose, Luna, and Emerald, all shackled, walked next to the throne Madeline had been in. Anastasia teleports next to Madeline, her face filled with sorrow. And finally, a person who was forgotten long ago. Celeste Two. She appears out of nowhere, jumping over Madeline's throne and seating herself on the top. Madeline cackles insanely. She duplicates herself, eight clones shifting out into focus. They all smiled at us evilly. Madeline snaps, and the clones shift into souls. I hear seven chorused screams. Primrose, Frost, Luna, Emerald, the real Celeste, Lilia, Anastasia, and Golden Jay all fall to the ground, clutching their ears. I see different colored ghosts zoom out of their mouths, and then replaced with Madeline's cloned souls. The bodies of them linger for a moment, and then they open their eyes, which were now a dark red.
"Y-You possessed them!" I yell. Madeline laughs once more. "Sure! They don't have a will of their own anymore! Now, DIE to your own friends!" She exclaims broadly. The eight possessed people launch themselves at us, guns, swords, spears, everything.
This is not happening.
SUPER PLOT TWIST, DESU~! Oh! Who was expecting that?! XD You didn't think I forgot about all those characters, did I? X3 And don't worry! If a character wasn't present here… they have a storyline next chapter….!
Sky: Wait. What the hell- what- I'm so confused- everyone came back?! Primrose?! Where's Zennor?!
Me: You'll find out next chapter!
Sky: AHHHH.
Celeste: Wait, so, I'm dead, been kidnapped, possessed multiple times, what the hell, Elu.
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! And… ready?! Guess what's coming up after this story?! (Drumroll please…..)
TFFTB S3, THE TWILIGHT FOREST ARC!
