Metro felt like he was falling for hours. Timmy clung to his leg and was apparently bored. Blob on the other hand was nowhere to be seen.
"Darn it," muttered Metro, "This is the second time I've lost that slime. How can this get any worse?"
But apparently Blob had sprouted wings and was hovering above the umbrella. The chasm was unsurprisingly made of purple stone. Sharp edges jutted out of the side. Little caves appeared here and there from the sides but none of them seemed inviting with the stalactites and stalagmites looking like teeth of a gaping mouth. Metro could barely hear the sound of the Eater of Souls' pincers clicking with anger.
"We have to find a hiding spot before they find us," said Timmy as he re-adjusted his grip. Not long after, Metro landed on a smooth edge which then led to a cave. The trio hurried into the cave and hid from the entrance as the Eater of Souls just rushed past the entrance, eyes brimming with hunger.
"Phew," breathed Metro as he wiped sweat from his brow, "Now, how do we get out?"
"I don't know," snapped Timmy as he started to walk deeper into the cave. The tunnel was straight and smooth, which was odd. It was as if this tunnel was drilled rather than that it eroded. Soon after 10 minutes of walking they came into a large chamber which looked oddly fashionable for a house. Rectangular lumps that came out of the ground looked like tables and chairs. The ceiling was covered in stalactites and one section of the chamber was a small pond with strange purple fish with red eyes.
"Those things are corrupt goldfish," muttered Timmy with disgust, "Even the corruption can infect such docile creatures."
"Wait," blurted Metro, "Is this biome actually a disease?"
"Yeah," muttered Timmy as he pulled out his fishing rod and started fishing out the corrupt goldfish, "I'm going to see if they can be purified. Actually, my granny told me that this is where some god's essence seeped into. It nearly infected the entire world but some hero managed to capture the spirits of light and dark into a box and the Corruption stopped spreading. Oh, that just reminded me! There are shadow orbs in this place you can get some neat stuff if you break them."
Metro wasn't so keen but the chance get some new weapons excited him. He found an orb on a ledge and smashed it with his hammer. Inside the broken orb was a Musket with a hundred bullets inside. Suddenly a voice echoed around him A horrible chill goes down your spine. Timmy squealed in fright and Metro whirled around with his spear in hand. He just realized that the voice was the one that foreshadowed the Eye of Cthulhu.
"I don't think this is a good idea," muttered Metro as he walked towards Timmy, "We need to get out of here."
"Um..." squeaked Timmy as he pointed behind Metro, "They found us."
The Eater of Souls swarmed the entrance of the cavern. Pincers clicking with excitement. Metro brought out his musket and shot an eater out of the air.
"Awesome," muttered Metro, "This'll be easy."
The air was filled with clicking and gunshots as eaters dropped dead like flies. However. One bullet missed its mark and shattered another orb.
"Sh*t," muttered Metro as he barely heard the feminine voice resound again. Timmy was helping in his own annoying way but yelling insults at the Eaters but it possibly made them more determined to kill them. Metro slammed his musket into an eater and sent it tumbling into the pond. Blob at least had himself occupied with with a group of eaters that seemed to be more interested into the slime rather than the humans. Metro continued shooting at the eaters until one of them was left. It looked around at the pieces of his comrades and fled. Metro threw his empty musket at the eater, knocking it out of the air. As it hit the group, Metro was about to say something but was interrupted by a loud cracking sound. Metro turned around to see his musket buried deep into another shadow orb.
"Oh," said Metro in a surprised tone, "I don't think that will a problem for-"
Suddenly, a the air was filled with rumbling. Timmy tripped over and scrambled for cover. Blob squealed in fright and clung to Metro's boot as if it was the safest place there was. A large thing whooshed past Metro, its eyes pinpointed on him. Metro then realized that the thing had eyes all over its body. Not only that but the thing was emerging from the wall endlessly. Once it slowed down it became apparent to Metro it was a gigantic worm. Once all of it had emerge out of the wall its front head peered at Metro like a snake looking at the snake charmer.
"WHO DARES DISTURB MY SLUMBER!" shouted the Eater of Worlds through his clicking pincers, "DON'T YOU KNOW THAT BREAKING THREE SHADOW ORBS IS ENOUGH TO LET ME KNOW THAT IT'S DINNER TIME!"
The worm then spotted Timmy cowering under a ledge. Metro was silently edging his way closer to the exit.
"BOTH OF YOU AREN'T ENOUGH TO BE CLASSIFIED TO BE A SNACK!" muttered the worm. He then peered at Metro with disturbing amounts of interest.
"SO I GUESS YOU'RE THE NEW GUY. MUST BE GHASTLY TO BE BROUGHT INTO THIS WITHOUT ANY WARNING, NO MEMORY, NO REAL FRIENDS."
"Wait what do you know about me?" asked Metro as he raised his spear.
"THERE'S NO WAY I'M TELLING YOU ABOUT HIS PLAN. BESIDES HE HAS NEARLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT ALL OF US BY NOW."
"Who?"
"SORRY, I TALK WHEN I'M HUNGRY."
And with that, the worm zoomed towards Metro with lightning speed. Metro barely managed to parry the worm's head with his spear but the rest of its body slammed Metro into the wall. Timmy leaped into action and drove his fish knives into the worm's segments. But it disconnected with a disgusting pop and a mouth grew into place of the stump. Now there were two worms, both equally deadly. Metro dodged a projectile of moldy green spit that one of the worms shot and threw his boomerang a the nearest worm, hitting many of eyes. Blob was already busy enough by hitting on of the segment over and over. Timmy threw his fish knives at the worm's head, some of them flying inside the worm's mouth which caused it to cough and its eyes to water. Metro assumed that the worm was allergic to seafood.
"YOU THINK THAT MY ALLERGIES WILL MAKE ME LOSE? THEN YOU ARE WRONG!"
"We'll see about that," muttered Metro and he picked up a Ball O' Hurt off the ground and swung it around, knocking the worms into the wall. The worms split into more segment to the amount there were too many to count.
"TRY ME YOU SON OF B*ITCH!" screamed the worms in unison as they all dove for Metro, completely ignoring the baby slime and Timmy. Metro screamed and swung his Ball O' Hurt. It missed but it smashed into a wall. Suddenly a stalactite fell from the ceiling but landed right next to the Eater of Worlds.
"YOU MISSED USER," sneered the Eater of Worlds. Suddenly, a deep rumbling sounded throughout the room. The Eater Worlds whirled around to see the cause of the noise. Timmy and Blob looked nervously at each other while Metro backed against the wall. It that wasn't enough, the air started to heat up.
"OH SH*T," muttered The Eater of Worlds as a giant brown-reddish meteorite crashed into the room from above, landing on top of the worm, crushing it. Metro glanced at Timmy clearly confused. Timmy, on the other hand looked aghast.
"This is bad. Really bad," muttered Timmy, "We shouldn't have broke those shadow orbs."
"You think?" snapped Metro as he stormed out of the cavern. As he speed-walked he contemplated the Eater of World's words. He knew where Metro had came from and most importantly, why he was brought here into this place. Now it's no use since he was dead. As he walked onto the ledge, he looked around to find a way out of this hole. So far, there was none. Suddenly, Metro's vision was covered with bright light and two visions flashed before his eyes. There first was a computer with static covering the screen and then the next was green tentacles streaming out of a dark room. Then Metro tipped forward.
