The group sat down, ready to begin. Saber sat next to Skelli, glaring at Tony. The human tried to avoid eye contact. Mire smirked. "Is everyone ready?"
Skelli nodded. "I know I am! This is going to be fun."
Saber kept glaring at Tony. "Indeed."
Mire clapped her hands. "Awesome! Since you just arrived, Saber, you can take your turn."
The blacksmith looked at Tony. "Fine then. Truth or dare?" Tony looked at her, trying to gauge his options. He knew Saber was a genius in combat, often preferring a "guns-blazing" plan of attack over Skelli's patient ways. It would stand to reason that her truths and dares would be equally extreme. If he picked truth, she would probably try to find the most embarrassing thing to ask as payback for the sword incident. If he picked dare, she would probably just make him do an exercise or something rigorous. He shrugged. "Dare." It would be less embarrassing.
Saber frowned. She knew Tony knew her tactics. If he picked truth, she would have torn him apart. However, he seemed to have a bit of gumption. She thought for a moment, trying to find a truly worthy challenge.
Suddenly, Slag burst through the door. She was panting heavily, steam rising from her head. Her normally crimson eyes glowed with anger as a smirk formed on her face. "I did it! I finally did it!" She stepped aside, revealing the small structure a little ways away. It was a wooden shack that looked barely big enough to hold two people. Around it, the once grand forest was made into a clearing. Hex laughed. "Impressive! You managed to build an outhouse!"
"Hey! You try working with wood when your body is made of lava!"
Saber listened to the arguing and looked at the small structure outside. Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind. "Tony, I dare you… to go into that little shack with Slag and Mire." Tony felt his body freeze, but Slag and Mire suddenly felt excited. Saber looked at Hex, who was frowning. "You wouldn't happen to have a fire resistance potion, would you?"
"Yes, but I won't let you use it for this!"
"Oh? So you want Tony to burn alive?" Saber said, raising an eyebrow. Tony blushed at what she was implying. Hex sighed and gave him the potion, which he hesitantly drank. Almost immediately afterwards, Slag and Mire grabbed the boy's shoulders. Slag looked at Hex. "How long will the potion last?"
"About 10 minutes."
"Perfect." She and Mire gently pushed the boy out of the house and toward the shack. The magma girl leaned next to Tony. "I think it's time I got a little payback for that cruel dare you gave me." She said, suggestively. Tony felt his face warm up as they got closer to the small shack. 'Oh boy…'
Saber smiled to herself, quite content with the situation. Hex looked at her incredulously. "Why would you do that? You know what they'll do to him."
Saber smirked. "No one is allowed to mess with my sword. Who's turn is it, anyway? Skelli?"
The wither warrior grinned. "Alright. Let's see… Saber, truth or dare?"
"Hm… truth."
Atlas raised an eyebrow. "Really? I figured you would be a bit more adventurous, sister."
Saber smirked. "And get some embarrassing punishment like Tony? I have a bit more pride than that."
Skelli put a hand on her chin before her eyes lit up. "Oh! Why do you like your sword so much?"
Saber scoffed. "I crafted that sword from the strongest diamond when I was a toddler! Of course I'd hold it dear!"
Hex raised an eyebrow. "You've had a single diamond sword with you since you were a child and it hasn't broken on you?"
Atlas giggled. "Well, she asked me to use some enchantments on it. At this point, that sword will probably outlive even the Enderdragon. In fact, it reminds me of Tony's sword."
Saber raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"Haven't you noticed that he only uses that one iron sword?"
"Of course! I've scolded him about it for months. He really needs to upgrade to diamond. He always has that 'I like iron better' excuse."
Skelli smirked. "Don't you see? He has a special sword, too! I guess you taught him more than just battle moves." The blacksmith thought for a moment and smiled. She looked at the others. "Hm, considering I just went, who wants to go next?"
Atlas smiled. "Oh! I would like to try!" She looked around and thought for a moment until she suddenly remembered something she had been wondering for quite some time. "Hex. Truth or dare?"
"Hm… truth."
"Okay… um, w-well… this is awkward." She twiddled her thumbs for a second before continuing. "Well… during the Mutant War, when you brainwashed Tony… what did you do to him?"
Hex blushed a bit. "What do you mean?"
"I mean what did you do to him." She said, her face turning red.
Hex's face began to glow the same shade as Atlas' as she remembered the few weeks Tony had stayed with her in her Nether Fortress. "Well, heh heh…" She held her cheeks with a smile and giggled. "Oh, Atlas. We didn't do anything like that. I just gave him some kisses every now and then… maybe I got real close to-"
Atlas waved her arms. "Alright! Alright! I get it!"
"Calm yourself, I'm only kidding." Hex mentally giggled. 'Sort of.' Saber looked at the duo, a light blush on her face while Skelli had a grin and a larger blush.
Atlas looked out toward the small shack outside, suddenly feeling worried. "Uh, h-how long have they been in there?"
"About 2 minutes." Saber said, nonchalantly.
Suddenly, a scream was heard.
