Chapter 5: Conflicts and Confusion

Chaor gave Tom and Kaz a brief summery about what happened and how the Kintu poison works. He even managed to tell them a bit about Dimiz. "But if I see Dimiz again…" he continued.

"Forget about Dimiz. You have to take care of yourself first." Tom told Chaor; he let out a short "fine" after Tom finished his sentence, "I'll tell the others."

Tom took out his scanner and, at the same time, the black cloaked figure with Telabracers suddenly appeared behind him. Kaz was too focused on Chaor to see the Dimiz's appearance which means Chaor is the only one to see him.

"Look out!" Chaor warned at the last second, but it was too late. Dimiz hit Tom with a Power Pulse. Tom hit the wall on the other side of the room and his scanner flew about two feet way from him. Kaz quickly turned his attention to the scene.

"Tom," he cried as he dropped the torch that Roegar gave him.

As soon as Tom recovered, he quickly grabbed his scanner and dialed the number to Peyton's scanner. Meanwhile, Peyton, Sarah, and Roegar were still going through door after door.

"So when was the first time you meet Chaor?" Peyton asked.

Roegar answered briefly, "I used to be closer to Chaor than you think. You see I'm-"

Peyton's scanner rang before Roegar could finish. He picked it up and answered it.

"Peyton," Tom said on the scanner's screen," we found Chaor, but Dimiz is here too. You have to get here, now!"

"What are you doing, human?" Dimiz voice broke out from the background from where he is. He tried to take his scanner away, but it turned into a tug-a-war. They can only see parts and glimpses- one of these glimpses is Kaz next to Chaor. Then, Tom's scanner hung up.

"Tom and Kaz are in serious trouble," Peyton said.

"We have to help them," Sarah added.

"Then why are we standing here," Roegar quizzed," Lets go!"

So Peyton, Sarah, and Roegar (while holding the torch) ran to help their two friends and an Underworld leader. Back with Tom, Kaz, and Chaor, Dimiz took Tom's scanner away.

"What were you doing?" Dimiz asked him.

"Just calling some backup," Tom answered.

"What's your backup, an army?"

"Maybe"

Dimiz became furious at the nonsense that is going on now. "I have enough of this nonsense," he yelled as he moves his attention to Chaor, "It's time I ended your suffering. Sleep Sting!"

Dimiz released stingers at Chaor. Kaz has to do some fast thinking. He found a large, thin piece of board that he can use as a shield that is close by. He used it to block the sleep darts. All the sleep darts hits the shield, all except one. That one dart managed to pass through the shield, without hitting Kaz's body, and hits Chaor on the chest.

"Alright Kaz," Tom cheered.

"Not quite," Dimiz said with a satisfied expression in his voice.

Chaor started to yawn. He couldn't keep himself awake any longer, so he fell fast asleep. Kaz couldn't believe what's happening now.

"You're next," Dimiz said as he shifts his attention to the red headed human.

Suddenly, Roegar bursts through the door without the fire on the torch burning out with Peyton and Sarah following him. Dimiz didn't expect their arrival. They checked on Tom, Kaz, and Chaor.

"Are you alright?" Sarah asked.

"We're ok," Kaz answered," but Chaor fell asleep. When he's asleep, the poison will work faster until he's-"

"I think I get the point," Peyton said.

"Well, well, well," Dimiz said," if it isn't my old pal Rageor."

"Rageor?" all the humans puzzled. "I thought his name is Roegar," Tom added.

"It's Rageor," Dimiz explained," Roegar is his real name spelled backwards."

"What do you think you're doing?" Roegar- I mean, Rageor asked him.

"I was just using Chaor," explained Dimiz," as an invitation for our final battle,"

"You chose the wrong time in the wrong place," said Rageor," Rusttoxic!"

He launched a Rusttoxic attack at Dimiz who was trying to activate the Telabracers, but he wasn't quick enough. Dimiz is now frozen in a coating of rust. Rageor dropped his torch, broke the chains that held Chaor, and carried him over his shoulder.

"Let's get out of here," Rageor warned, "before Dimiz can move again."

They quickly ran out of Dimiz's layer. When they got out of the mouth of the skull that creates the entrance, he broke free from his rusty prison and ran after them.

While they're still running, Kaz asked," Now what?"

"Just follow me. I know how to reverse the effects of the Kintu poison." Rageor answered.

Later, they went into a different cavern at the edge of Fear Valley. Rageor lit the bare torch that hung from the side. Because he is carrying Chaor, he gave it to Peyton. Inside, there is a small room with a flat stone that can act as a bed and an old wooden chest. Rageor put Chaor on top of the stone. Then, he opened the chest and rummaged through its contents to find a small clear bottle with green fluid inside it. He removed the cork from the top of the bottle; then he poured all of its contents into Chaor's mouth while being cautious enough that he didn't choke.

"Now, we wait." Rageor said.

"For what?" Kaz questioned.

Rageor answered, "For the antidote to take effect."

Then Peyton said with a confused look," How did Chaor get poisoned in the first place?"

"I'm not sure if this is true, but I think it's because this happened," Rageor explained. "I heard Dimiz talking to himself about the plan while I was spying. He used the Telabracers to quickly get into and out of Chaor's Castle. He had poisoned one of Chaor's drinks or was it a piece of food, I don't know. As long as the poison gets ingested, it can react as it slowly destroys its victim. At first, it would quickly make the victim fever and feel weak. Shortly, one will become unconscious. It would try to make the victim feel drowsy so it can make one sleep just for it to quicken the process. If not treated right away-"

"Rageor," Dimiz called out as he searched the area outside of the cavern, "if you're so courageous, come out and fight me!"

"If a fight he wants then it's a fight he'll get," Rageor said as he exits the cavern. "But he'll just bit more than he can chew."

After he left, Peyton and Tom want to see the battle between him and Dimiz; however, someone should watch over Chaor.

"Does anyone want to stay and watch Chaor?" Tom asked.

"You know I am," Kaz replied.

"I better stay here as well," Sarah said," so that he can have some company."

"I'm coming with you, Tommy!" said Peyton ecstatically.

"Then it's settled," Tom said. "Sarah and Kaz will stay here as Peyton and I watch the battle. We'll try to you two posted on what's happening. Deal?"

"Sounds good to me," Kaz replied.

Sarah and Kaz stayed inside the cavern with Chaor as Tom and Peyton left to see the battle. Outside, Dimiz and Rageor are circling each other to prepare to attack. Tom and Peyton watched as they hid behind a huge bolder.

"Why don't you just give up and tell me your little secrete," Dimiz suggested. "This way, neither you nor Chaor would be destroyed."

"You'll pay for poisoning my son just so you can battle me!" Rageor hollered.

Tom's and Peyton's mouth dropped onto the ground. They couldn't believe what he just said.

"R-R-R- Rageor," Peyton sputtered," is Chaor's father?!


Sorry it took me so long. I am trying to make this better than my original copy. Please don't say that Kiru is Chaor's father because none of us knows who he is at the time I made this story and this is a fan fic, I can make anything happen. By the way, even though Kiru is Chaor's ancestor doesn't mean he's his father. He could be his grandfather, but we don't know yet.

Otherwise, thanks for reading and I hope you have enjoyed this chapter.
