The Temple of Hell





"So why are you guys traveling?" Asked Leif as he looked up at Twister and Reggie. Twister didn't even hear him. For he was playing with a rock and a twig. But Reggie looked up at the sky and sighed.

"We're looking for a...friend." She almost laughed as she said friend. Lars wasn't a friend! He was a pain in the @$$ was what he was. But Leif didn't seem to know that. And for now-that was what she wanted. She didn't want to scare the poor guy.

"Oh! Really? Do you know where he is?" He asked.

Reggie sighed. "We think we have an idea."

Leif thought a second before he grinned. "Where's that?"

Reggie tried not to laugh. Just a few moments ago this little guy was cowering in a corner. Now he couldn't seem to stop talking. At least she didn't mind. And from the looks of it-neither did Twister. Heck, he hardly noticed Leif was around. Reggie quickly pulled out the map that was in her back pocket.

"You recognize this place?" She asked hopefully.

Leif's eyes widened in shock, a hint of fear glazing his amber eyes.

"THAT place??" He cried.

Reggie blinked. "You know of it?"

"KNOW IT? I was BORN there! That place is horrible! It's bad!!" Cried Leif as he sunk to his knees.

"What's going on?" Asked Twister who had heard the commotion and wanted to know what he was missing out on.

"Leif knows where this is." Reggie said plainly. She was still shocked that Leif had been born there. The poor kid!! No wonder his life sucked so far! And he was just a little guy too! Twister took the map.

"Sweet! Now I won't get grounded as harsh if we find him sooner!"

Reggie grinned at him before she ruffled Leif's tousled hair.

"Don't worry, we'll protect you."

Leif grinned back up at her. "Thanks. And I'll try to protect you too!"

Twister and Reggie shared a smile. "I'm sure you will." The both claimed.





"Alright! Who wants a jelly doughnut?!" Cried Twister with a wide grin on his cute face. Reggie looked back at Twister in disbelief. He blinked.

"Whaaaat??"

"Jelly doughnuts? We don't have any!"

Twister hung his head. "I know-but a guy can dream!"

Reggie tried not to laugh. Right now she didn't want to encourage goofiness. Right now she wanted to find Lars, kick his @$$, then go home.

Leif looked up at Twister. Twister looked around in confusion. "What?"

"You look familiar..."

Twister pointed to himself. Leif grinned as he nodded. But then he shook his head.

"I think I'm just going crazy."

Twister scratched the back of his head. "I like chickens..."

Leif and Reggie. "TWISTER!!!!!"

"What??????"

Reggie was about to answer Twister when Leif cried. "Look!"

Confused, Reggie looked over to where Leif was pointing. Her jaw dropped. A black, evil-looking cloud was heading right for them.

"Woa!" Cried Twister. "I've never seen hurricane clouds like that!"

"They don't get hurricanes here, Twist."

"Oh...then where do you surf?"

"You don't surf here."

"Oh man..."

Reggie rolled her eyes before she turned to Leif.

"What is it?" She asked, hoping it wasn't anything bad. Even though she already knew it was.

"It's Kouki..." Leif mumbled.

Reggie and Twister shared a glance. "Who's that?"

Leif narrowed his eyes and Reggie couldn't help but back away. Now he REALLY looked like Lars! She was about to inform Twister but Leif spoke up.

"Kouki is the owner of that Temple you showed me. And I KNOW she's controlling that cloud!" He hissed.

Twister blinked at Leif. "You know...you sound a lot like my bro when you do that."

Reggie sighed. NOW he noticed. But Leif just looked back. "Who's your brother?"

"Who we're looking for." Mumbled Reggie with hate. But she had no time to explain for Leif cried.

"Get back! She knows you're after you friend...brother...whatever."

Reggie and Twister grabbed Leif's wrist and began to run. However, that didn't help too much. For just as they were back into the woods, there was a tornado that surrounded them. And a thick lightning bolt soon blocked their path. The three cuddled into a huddle, trying to protect the other.



When the smoke cleared there stood an evil looking man with blood-red eyes.

"Sooo, you think it's easy to get to the Temple of Hell do you? HA! You have to get through me first!!" Sneered the man.

Twister blinked. "Who are you?"

"My name is Kent, and you're about to die!"

"Well that's not a nice way to greet your guests!"

"TWISTER!" Hissed Leif and Reggie. Twister grinned at the two.

"Don't worry, I can take this guy!"

"Twister! This isn't a skating competition! This is a battle!" Cried Reggie as she grabbed his arm. Twister picked up a stick and swung it. It immediately turned into a sword. Reggie's jaw dropped.

"Yea," Grinned Twister. "But this is the opposite of reality-so anything goes."

Reggie began to mouth like a guppy. She tried to stop him, but no words would come to her mouth.

Kent laughed. "You think you can beat me with that wee sword?!"

Twister shrugged. "There's a first time for every doughnut!"

"What?"

Reggie smacked her forehead while whispering. "Twister-you moron!"

Twister held up his sword. Kent just shook his head before he ran for him, an oversized lightening bolt clamped in his grip. Twister jumped out of the way, kicking Kent's shin. Kent cursed before he rammed into Twister's stomach, causing Twister to back up into a tree. Twister winced before he kneed Kent. Kent backed away, letting Twister free. Twister grinned before he jumped on Kent's back. Then he jumped off and held his sword up, ready to bring it down. But Kent narrowed his eyes at Twister and brought his hands together. Twister looked at Kent strangely, who was now chanting something. Suddenly an electricity ball formed between his hands.

"THUNDER CRY!" He shouted. The electricity ball went straight for Twister and surrounded him. Twister looked around in confusion. Suddenly he started being electrocuted.

"TWISTER!!!!!!!" Cried Reggie.

"TWISTER!!!!!" Cried Leif as his large, amber eyes got wide. Then he narrowed his eyes at Kent.

"Reggie! Reggie look!" He cried. Reggie looked over to what Leif was pointing at. She frowned.

"What?"

"The gem in the middle of his forehead! It's his weakness!"

Reggie thought about it for a second before she grinned.

"Thanks Leif!"

Leif grinned as Reggie picked the sword Twister had dropped.

"STOP IT!" She cried.

Kent looked over at her and began to laugh menacingly.

"And just what are you going to do about it, scrawny?" He mocked.

Reggie narrowed her eyes at him. "I'm NOT scrawny and I WILL do something about you!"

"Oh yea, just what?"

"Say cheese!" Cried Reggie as she ran toward Kent. He looked at her in confusion. And before he could react, Reggie jumped off of the side of a tree and jammed the sword into the gem that lied on Kent's forehead.

"YOU LITTLE B****!!!!!!!!!!" Cried Kent as he turned into a pile of dust, the gem hitting the ground. Twister fell to the ground, the electric surroundings disappearing. Leif immediately ran to Twister, along with Reggie.

"TWISTER?!" They both cried, afraid of the worst that could have happen. Twister looked up at them in confusion before he grinned.

"I wonna do that again!!"

Leif and Reggie groaned as they fell to the ground in exasperation. Twister blinked.

"What?"



"Leif, where are you taking us?" Asked Reggie in exhaustion.

"Where you told me to take you." He replied simply.

"Well, how much longer until we get there?" Whined Twister. "I don't think my feet can take much more of this walking."

"We're almost there, Maurice." Leif grinned.

"What did you just call me?!"

"What did you just call him?!" Cried Reggie and Twister at the same time. Leif blinked in shock.

"Maurice?"

"How did you know that was my real name???" Asked Twister, dumbfounded.

Leif thought a second before he shrugged. "Maybe Reggie told me, I dunno..."

Reggie shook her head, eyes wide. "I never said his real name."

Leif shrugged. "Well I had to have heard it from somewhere..."

Then he smiled. "But, I have good news!"

Reggie and Twister looked at him, forgetting the weird coincidence that had just happened. Leif pulled back some shrubbery. Reggie and Twister gasped in shock. There before them was a large, dreary looking temple.

"Welcome to the Temple of Hell." Muttered Leif, shuddering as he said the name. Reggie frowned at the evil-looking temple while Twister scrunched up his face.

"Who was the decorator? My dad?"

Reggie laughed. "That was mean!"

"Sorry..."

Leif put a finger to his lips. "You have to be as quiet as you can, otherwise Kouki will send out her goons!"

Twister and Reggie nodded, making a zipper-like motion across their mouths. Then the three began to slowly walk toward the temple. But no more than they had traveled three feet, there was a mocking laugh. The three froze, fear going up their spines.

"Who's there?" Asked Twister stupidly. The laugh came again as a woman materialized in thin air. She had pitch-black hair and blood-red eyes. Her eyes narrowed at them.

"Sooo, you killed my older brother Kent did you?" She sneered. "That makes me mad, and plus, you aren't supposed to be here. I think I will have fun killing you!"

"Who are you?!" Demanded Reggie.

The woman threw off her jacket, revealing a black leather shirt along with a black mini-skirt.

"I am Lauren! The second guardian of the Temple of Hell! Now prepare for pain! SHARIS ISHIBA!"

Another wave came, only instead of electricity-it was ice.

"NO WAY!" Cried Twister as he tried to escape. But it was of no use. Both Reggie and Twister were locked in a large block of ice.

"Let me out!" Cried Reggie as she banged on the ice. And she became more frantic when the ice started to enclose over her body. But as suddenly as it had happened, the ice began to melt away.

"WHAT THE?!" Cried Lauren in shock and anger.

"What's going on?" Asked Reggie as she shivered from the melted ice.

"Dude...I can't feel my toes." Cried Twister.

Reggie turned around and saw Leif. A green light was surrounding him and his eyes were narrowed into angry slits.

"Omg. He looks like Lars for sure now!" She thought to herself.

"Get away from us you ugly woman!" Shouted Leif in his baby voice.

"And you, a mere boy, is going to stop me?" The woman laughed. But then her eyes widened.

"My, my, you look just like that boy..."

"What boy?!" Shouted Reggie without thinking.

"None of your business half-pint!" Snapped Lauren.

Twister, Reggie, and Lauren looked at Leif. His fists were now clenched. Lauren rolled her eyes.

"Oh this is pathetic....say buh bye-kid! SHARIS ISHIBA!"

Another wave of ice headed straight for Leif. But there was a sudden cry and a flash of green light.

"No, YOU are the one saying good bye!" Snapped Leif as the green light blocked the wave and reversed the attack; so it was now heading for Lauren.

"NO!! YOU LITTLE BRAT!! I'LL GET YOU!!! NOOOOOO!" Shouted Lauren as the ice surrounded her-soon bursting into tiny shards of glass.

Reggie and Twister glanced over at Leif in shock, who was now coming back to normal.

"Sweet!!!!" Cried Twister as he hugged Leif. Leif grinned.

"See, I told you I can control magic." He giggled.

Reggie laughed in disbelief. "Well-now that that's done..."

The three looked up at the temple. Now all they had to do was live it's evil...
