Chapter 7: Annoyance and Cheating
The statute grunted before nodding. That was all Sparx needed to see.
"YES!" he exclaimed before running past the statue and through the door.

"Hmmm…. Seems like your red friend is doing too well…" an angry Skeleton King growled to a tied up Nova.
"Never underestimate Sparky" She said while grinning.

Sparx looked around; he was in the central room again. But how? The way to the front hall was in the indigo room. It was then Sparx decided that in this place nothing is what it seems.
"Task two: The Guessing Game" a robotic voice stated, the same as before. The Green door opened and Sparx walked towards it. Guessing cool, half of the things I do I guess. This will be simple.
Already expecting the snake's jaw to fall on him Sparx jumped through the door. Sparx landed on all fours on a tiled floor. It was a sea green in colour and freezing cold. Sparx jumped from the floor, the cold nipping at his feet.
The walls were spring green in colour and in the middle of the room was another statue, only this one looked just like Otto. It had he same grin, the same sort of…..stupidness round it.
The same as before there was another door at the far end of the room. Expecting the statue to run in front of him Sparx walked towards the door fearlessly. When Sparx was close a green iron bars slammed down securing the door.
Sparx looked behind him the statue had the famous 'Otto grin' plastered on its face.
Great another Otto… it jumped from the middle of the room and run towards Sparx.
"You can only go through if you win in a guessing game" it said jumping up and down before tripping on its feet and falling face first onto the floor.

The Skeleton King paced back and forth along his throne room.
"Keep going and you'll make me dizzy" Nova exclaimed.
"Hush" he snapped at her.
"Mandarin, sop him at any cost" He grunted to his henchman.
"Yes Skeleton King" Mandarin said before walking towards the entrance of the throne room.
"You cheater!" Nova shouted, although the Skeleton King didn't pay the smallest amount of attention to her.

"Ok greeney, what's the game?" Sparx asked.
"It's a guessing game" The statue replied, it was currently running in circles around Sparx.
"Yeah I know that, but how do I play?" Sparx sighed, his patience was wearing thin.
"I can't remember" it replied. Sparx gave an angered sigh and banged his head against the wall.
"Well I really need to get to the next room so feel free to remember how to play any time now…." Sparx explained.
"I know how to play….I just don't know the rules" It said staggering about, the circle running had made it dizzy.
"That doesn't make any sense!" Sparx shouted.
"Well in my room things don't have to make sense" It had stopped staggering and begun to look around.
"Aren't the walls a pretty colour?" it asked. Sparx sighed. One thought came to his mind: its gonna be a long day…
