Last time on The Awakening...
Light and Co. had mad it deeper into the ruins, only to find that at the end, they to solve a puzzle, or the doors would not open. Once they had completed the trial, the doors opened. What is behind the door? What challenges must they face to claim the Hexsword? Find out now!
The door had been open for a few moments, but they all stood there, stunned at what just happened.
"Well, are we prepared for what's inside? Cooper, you still have your mana power?" Light asked, as he checks his sword's durability.
"Yea, I have an extra if I need it though." Cooper said.
"Good, everyone else ready?"
Aqua and Lilly nodded, and they all went into the chamber, not noticing that the door shut right behind them.
"Hey Lilly? I thought you said it was supposed to bright in all of the rooms…" Light said, as he stumbled along through the pitch black darkness.
"It's supposed to be… I don't know wh-"
Light suddenly heard all around him spider legs crawling around, but then disappear after a few seconds.
"Lilly? Lilly? You there? Is anyone there?"
"We're still here Light, Cooper and I are, It's just that-"
Light suddenly heard the spider legs again for a few moments, but then disappears."
"What were you saying Aqua? ...Aqua? Cooper?"
"I'm right by you Light, but the spiders keep-"
"This time, he heard the spider head straight where Cooper had spoken, but before he could do anything; the sound of the spider legs disappeared, but came back a second later, in a different area. Having no other option, he decided to follow the sound of the spider's legs crawling along the floor. Eventually, he had lost the sound of the spider, but the spider had led him to some sort of vines. He started to rip through them, and it started to become brighter as he ripped the vines. Eventually, he was able to see a little bit in the room, and saw that he was actually ripping away spider webs. Light jumped back, and wiped off the webs that he got on his shirt. Suddenly, he heard a bunch of hissing right above him, plus, he suddenly felt something on his shoulder. He looked at it, and it was… some sort of green substance. He wiped it off of his shirt, and slowly looked up to find: A spider about the size of 20 blocks, looking straight down at him, and grinding. The spider then suddenly started to have its legs come off, until they all came out of the wall, and started to crash down on the Light, but luckily, he had been able to move out of the way in time.
"Hello there ssssmall being… Come to sssteal the Nekordian's sssupliess away? And you opened up an sssmall hole to let light through… I don't like the light that much… ssso…" Suddenly, the spider jumped, and laid three of its pincers on Light, which pinned him to the wall, the spider 's jaws opened wide, and were about to get stabbed into his body when suddenly, he saw a hammer flying right above the spider's body. Suddenly, he saw Cooper jump and slam his hammer straight into the spider's back. Its pincers came out of Light, and it screeched back in pain.
"Not goanna happen you creepy bug!" Cooper said, as he ran over to Light, with Aqua and Lilly right behind him.
"You alright Light? We were worried about that…"
The spider then came by them, still a little bit wobbly from the impact of the weapon.
"YOU… How did you esssscape!? My spider webs are nearly impossible to get out of! Don't you I am Dystssia, the ssspider queen!? If you do not, I ssshall sshow you just how powerful I am! Sssoon, you three ssshall be dead, and I will take Light and get rewarded for bringing him to Gias!" The queen screeched, and then came charging at them. They had all been able to dodge out of the way, but the queen had been able to climb up the wall, and stay up there.
"Hah! Now how do you think you sssshall get me!? Guards! Come and dessstroy thessse fools!"
Suddenly, ten spiders came crawling out of different areas, and had surrounded them, all of them being poisonous. Light, Aqua and Cooper charged at them, and they charged at them.
"Light! Aqua! Cooper! Here, let me give you a little more power and defense! ENERGY BOOST!" Lilly yelled, as Light felt a surge of power run through him, as he dashed at two spiders, and killed them both with one blow to the head. After he had finished off those two he looked up at the Dystia, and noticed something… off. Her eyes were bright red… except that one of them was brighter than the others. When he looked a little closer, he noticed that it was some kind of orb. Once he stopped looking at her, he noticed that all of the spiders were dead. The queen then screeched once more, and came crashing down to the floor.
"YOU… YOU… YOU FEINDS! HOW DARE YOU KILL MY CHILDREN! NOW YOU'RE GOANNA PAY!" The spider queen ran at them again, but they were a little far away before she could reach them, so Light came up with an idea.
"Cooper! I want you to toss me up onto he back, once she comes close enough to you, duck. Ready… Now!"
Cooper then threw Light up on to the queen's back, and he had been able to stab her straight in the back. Black blood started to spew everywhere, while she was screaming out in pain, trying to throw Light off, but the sword was so deep in her skin, that it wouldn't be able to throw them off. After crashing into a few walls, she climbed up onto the wall, and in a matter of a few seconds, Light was hanging upside down. Light was barley dangling from his sword when he yelled out:
"HEY! One of you! Shoot the spider webs around us to get more light into this
Room! She'll get stunned, and that's when we're able to kill her!"
"Ok! Does anyone know any spells we could use? Cuz I don't know any!" Cooper said, as he tried to turn his hammer into stone.
"Uh… Oh! I know one! Stand back!" Lilly said, as she concentrated, as her hair stood up, and yelled:
"WHOLLY ARROW!" Suddenly, a giant arrow came out of her wand, and shot straight at one of the holes. Light came instantly into the room, and made the queen screech. However, it did not make her fall down so Cooper, Aqua, and Lilly went back to thinking of ways of destroying the spider webs, when Light was losing his grip. After what had seemed like ten minutes, Light had finally lost his grip, and went hurdling down to the floor.
"AH! LILLY!"
"Oh Shoot! LEVITATE!" Suddenly, Light was starting to slow down, and had been able to reach the floor safely. Light looked back up at the spider queen, who was now laughing at them. Light, still angry, pulled out his iron sword, and suddenly when forward, eyes looking like they were on fire. Soon after, his whole body seemed to be on fire, as his whole sword took fire, and he stopped in the center of the room.
"FIRE WALL!" Light then struck his sword on to the ground, and almost in an instant, giants geysers' of fire came out of the ground, and opened up all of the spider webs in the room. The queen then screeched, and then just as Light planned, fell to the floor, screaming in pain.
"Copper, finish her." Light said, as he pulled out his sword from the spider.
Cooper nodded, and then started to cast his spell.
"Please… NO! PLEASSSE! HAVE MERCY! MY CHILDREN! WHO WILL THEY TURN TOO!?"
"Don't listen to her Cooper! Keep concentrating!" Light yelled.
"Right! LET'S DO THIS!" Cooper then cleared right up, but suddenly, Cooper's weapon… changed. Of course, it was stone now, but, it had grown two giant spikes on the ends of the hammer.
"All who hurt me or my friends will suffer! MYSTIC MARK: EARTH CRUSHER!"
Cooper suddenly threw the hammer, and began to stand on its handle, and was advancing toward the queen, who was still lying on her back, desperately trying to get up. Shards of earth suddenly started to form around Cooper and his hammer, and began to swirl around him. Once he was a few feet away from her, he came back down, and started to walk toward him. The queen started to spew green slime that landed on Light at the beginning of the fight, but the stones' surrounding him repealed the slime, and was only a foot away from her. He then grabbed his hammer again, the started to attack her. Light noticed that when he was attacking, the stones that were surrounding him before, were suddenly jabbing her from all sides, and were making blood spurt everywhere. Finally, after about twenty blows to the queen, he then jumped up, and all the stones formed around his hammer, and made it the hammer huge. Cooper then used all his might, and slammed the hammer straight into the spider's belly, which made the queen scream out in pain, and then explode. All that remained of her was a bright red orb that rolled on to the floor once the spider queen exploded.
"Well, that was fun wouldn't you say?" Aqua said, as they all glared straight at him.
What does the red orb do? What happened to Light that allowed him to perform fire magic, and where is the Hexsword? Find out next time on THE AWAKENING!
