Chapter 16: Save The King

Wolf and Marvin ran up the rounding staircase and up towards where they heard the king's scream coming from. It took them at least three minutes to get to the top of the staircase. At the top of the staircase was a doorway leading to a small hallway. Wolf and Marvin headed down the hallway towards a large wooden door at the end of it. "That's the throne room door!" Marvin said to Wolf. They rushed up to the door; Marvin reached his paw down and curled it around the door latch. Marvin turned the latch and opened the door that led to the throne room. Wolf and Marvin stepped into the throne room of King Phillip, closing the door behind them. As soon as they stepped through the door, Wolf and Marvin took in the scene; the door that they entered from was directly across from the king's throne, a large snake-demon was towering above the throne trying to get at King Phillip, who was trying to hide from it by crouching behind the throne. "We have to save the king!" Marvin said to Wolf. "Tell me, why should I help him?" Wolf said, suddenly having sudden doubts about being good. "You should help him because of the reward and because of the fact that not helping him would dishonor your family." Marvin stated. "Honor? Ha! I don't care about honor, but I do care about that reward!" Wolf exclaimed to Marvin. "You don't care about your family's honor?" Marvin asked Wolf. "No, now lets just kill this thing, save the king and get our reward. Okay?" Wolf said to Marvin. "Agreed" Marvin said, answering Wolf's question. Wolf took out his dual Blasters out from his holsters and aimed both of them at the back of the snake-demon's head. He then fired off two Blaster shots directly at its head. The snake-demon turned around and roared at them, angry at the fact that it was just shot two times in the back of the head. Suddenly, the snake-demon started to mutate; spikes suddenly burst out of its forehead, and the end of its tail turned into a jagged spike that looked like it was bone. It then let out a loud roar and charged towards Wolf and Marvin. For a few minutes Wolf and Marvin were to surprised at the snake-demons transformation to do anything but stare. Wolf and Marvin managed to roll out of the way just before it would of hit them. The snake-demon went ramming into the wall behind them. It seemed to be stunned for a few minutes, but then it spun around to face them. Wolf and Marvin heard King Phillip shout to them from behind the throne chair: "I think that the things head is its weakness!" Wolf heard a sweat sounding female voice softly say to him: The time to strike is now. Use your axe." "Did you hear that?" Wolf asked Marvin. "What are you talking about?" Marvin said, answering Wolf's question. "Well, I guess it was nothing." Wolf said. "The voice said to me to use my axe to impale it" Wolf thought to himself as he pulled the Battle-axe off his back. As the snake-demon started to lunge downward to attack Wolf, he raised his axe above his head so that the edge of the blade was pointing towards the snake-demon. The snake-demon's head came crashing down directly onto Wolf's raised axe blade. The snake-demon let out multiple shrieks as it failed around with dark purple blood and flesh falling from its head. After a few minutes there was a loud thud as the snake-demon's head slammed against the floor. It continued to spew its dark purple blood all over the throne room, until finally a few minutes later, it closed its eyes for the last time. A few minutes later Fox, A.J., Mila and Dammon came running through the doors to the throne room. " Hey mates, I see you two took care of everything by yourselves." Dammon said to Wolf and Marvin. "Yes, I'd like to thank all of you for rescuing me and my kingdom from those things." King Phillip said to them as he came out from behind the throne chair. "I'm afraid that only ten people besides me have survived though, but now let me get you your rewards!" King Phillip said to them. The demons were finally dead and the king was saved.
