Chapter 20
The Lone Wolf Warrior was sure that they would not pass his next obstacle. He was so sure that this was going to be the one that would kill them all.
As the warriors walked through the woods, they ran into a cave. They all stopped, wondering whether to go in.
"Kristin said she was trapped in a cave with the others!" Hotohori exclaimed. "Perhaps this is it!"
"We're going in, then?!" Tasuki cried. "Let's go!" He made some light and they followed Tasuki into the cave.
For a long time they walked in darkness. Hotohori gave a shout.
"Kristin!"
There was no answer.
"Maybe this is the wrong cave," Miboshi said.
"Maybe this is a trap, no da," Chichiri said.
A low growling came from behind them.
"Nakago, shut up."
"That wasn't me."
There was silence.
"It IS a trap," Tomo said.
Tasuki shone his fire out behind them, and from the shadows, a massive wolf-beast came, blocking their way out. It had two large horns on its head, and was very thick set. He gave a horrid roar, and Nakago growled at him, his symbol lighting up.
"No," Miboshi said, stepping forward. "I'll take this one."
"Miboshi!" Hotohori said. "You shouldn't! You don't have your dradle and you're missing a limb!"
"That beast is far too great for a mere sword to pierce him," Miboshi said. "His hide is too thick and strong. Fire will not hurt him, only the power of another like him will. So . . . stand back. Let me take him down."
"You just only came to," Chichiri said. "You'll collapse again, just like you did with the last wolf, Thurswolf!"
"And Mitsukake hasn't come back yet," Tasuki said. "He won't be able to revive you!"
"I can do this!" Miboshi shouted. Nakago growled.
The wolf beast was getting impatient with their talk and lunged at Miboshi. Miboshi was thrown violently to the floor, un prepared. Hotohori got out his sword to fight, but suddenly, Miboshi had summoned himself inside a huge demon, and began to fight the wolf beast.
He was three times his height. He was three times his weight. Miboshi crushed the wolf beast, and the others cheered. Miboshi fell out of his demon spell, shaking his head. He hadn't collapsed. He didn't feel dizzy or faint. He felt FINE.
"I'm still here," Miboshi said, jumping to his feet. "Oh, I'm ready for another attack! I can feel it! My life force is strong NOW!!!"
With that, a whole slew of wolf beast charged from the shadows. Miboshi re-summoned his giant demon, and shielded the others from the wolf beasts. With the large arms of the demon, Miboshi began knocking wolf- beasts aside, throwing them against the walls of the cave.
But he was weakening. He could feel it. Somewhere deep in side, his heart was hurting very badly, and he didn't know if he could go on. What had happened? He had just felt that great spurt of energy and now it was failing him!
The giant demon began to fade, and the wolf beasts jumped on the fading image, until it was gone, and they were tearing Miboshi apart.
"Damn it!" Hotohori cried.
"Wait for it!" Tasuki shouted, and screamed, "REKKA SHINEN!!!"
But Miboshi was right. The fire did nothing. Nakago was ready to ki- blast when Tomo spoke up.
"Wait, Hotohori . . . don't you have a wish left?"
Hotohori sighed, cringing. Yes he did, but he was hoping to use it on something that would benefit him and Kristin. "Has everyone here used their wishes?"
Everyone nodded. Hotohori sighed. "I guess it would be selfish of me if I didn't . . ."
With that, Hotohori yelled out, "KAI JIN!!"
The wolf beasts stopped, watching the mini phoenix god pop up right before them. They growled at the phoenix god, who gave a gulp, and popped out of sight.
But, in the confusion of the god showing up, Hotohori had managed to run over to Miboshi, where he picked up the fallen body, and the others turned and they all ran from the wolf beasts as they shook their heads in realization of what had happened, and turned to chase them.
For days they chased the warriors in the long dark tunnels of the cave, and everyone believed that they would never escape the cave alive, but would die here because of the terrible wolf-beasts.
Suddenly, the animator had a heart attack and died, and the wolf beasts were no more.
The Lone Wolf Warrior was in an outrage.
"How dare he!" he shouted. "Those wolf-beasts were going to devour the warriors once and for all! How dare he!!"
But there was nothing left for the Lone Wolf Warrior to do about it.
"Perhaps," he thought, "perhaps I'll get an evil white rabbit with sharp, pointy teeth . . . no, that would put TOO much Monty Python in this story. Oh!"
And a smile crossed his face.
"I know what to do. I have a warrior who will surly not allow these ruffians to live anymore. Let's see how these warriors can deal with my friend -
RIIIIIIIIICOOOOOOOOOOLAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
So, someone played the Ricola horn just so the audience couldn't hear what the Lone Wolf Warrior was going to say, and it appeared as though the chapter was coming to a close, but not before Miss Uots concluded it with:
Meanwhile . . . yeah.
