Stonehenge
As the Chosen Four traversed deeper into the Stonehenge base the more familiar and desolate it become. Not as many people resided in the deep depths of the Stonehenge base and as such it hadn't been changed from when Ness and the group had been there in the War Against Giygas.
Soon the group happened upon a familiar room. The one that lead to the prisoner chamber. The weaving platforms that hung over the endless void.
"Well isn't this a pleasant sight?" Paula observed.
"We're almost there." Ness said.
"Why do I feel uneasy about this?"
"Yes. Why do you feel uneasy about this?" A new voice said.
The group turned around to meet the voice. A lone figure was standing on the guardrails holding his balance perfectly. He was dressed formally as if he were prepared to go to a party however his skin was eerily pale.
"So… this is the legendary Chosen Four? He said in a dignified tone.
"Who are you?" Ness cried.
"I am merely a servant. Servants are not worthy of a name in the eyes of my Master."
"Who is your master?"
"Hahahahahahaha. You shall not live long enough to find out. Your journey ends here, Chosen Heroes of All. I promise I shall make it quick."
As quickly as he had appeared Servant was gone. The group surveyed the dark room frantically hoping for some sign, but it was all in vain. The room was too vast and too dark for anything to be seen clearly. Suddenly a scream pierced the silence. Ness turned to see Paula being held up in the air by an invisible force.
Then she was thrown to the other side of the room as if she was nothing but a rag doll. The fight had only begun.
Sabio Island
The island of Sabio was a tropical paradise in every sense of the word. The luscious palm trees, the exotic flowers, the vast forests, a lovely beach. Zarus hated all of it. The sun was too bright for his tastes and it even shone through his dark hood. He had made it to the forest as fast as he could so that the canopy of leaves would block the sunlight.
Zarus smiled as he saw the mountain in the distance. Still to him it was too bright so he waited in the forest for night. It was at this time that some poachers were roaming through the forest. They had seen very little game and this area was usually populated with tigers and such.
They had caught eye of Zarus' dark cloak and was mistakenly heading over to see what he was doing.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" A poacher said.
"Hmm?" Zarus replied.
"Yeah you. You freak. What the freak are you doing out here?"
"Waiting…"
"Waiting? Waiting for what?"
"It is none of your concern, human."
"None of my? Human? Who do you think you are?"
"I am the servant of the perfect darkness. Servant of the One who shall rise again in the Coming Darkness. Servant of the One who shall return to claim the world that is rightfully his. Servant of the Child of the Nightmare Rock."
"What kind of freak are you?"
Zarus picked up the poacher and the others pointed their guns straight at Zarus.
"Haha. Tell your friends to stand down."
"Bite me."
"Very well"
With a might spin Zarus threw the poacher deep into the forest. The other poachers stood shocked for a minute before they took off running. Zarus continued to wait in peace for nightfall to come.
There was a slight commotion down at the beach. It was nothing like what had happened to the poachers, but as big none the less. Something had washed up on shore. Something big and yellow. There was a crowd forming around the area. Police were holding them back as an ambulance pulled in. The medics rushed over to the scene.
"How is he?" A medic asked.
"He's breathing so that's good. We better get him to the hospital." The other said.
They ran back to the ambulance and grabbed a stretcher and wheeled it over. They picked the guy up and lifted him onto the stretcher. One of the medics grabbed the things that had been in the raft. They wheeled the stretcher back to the ambulance and lifted it inside. Of course Allen had been oblivious to it all.
