Disclaimer:I do not own spider riders. I do own Nina, Ember and Zeronex and the reptilian race.
A/N: I got my computer back! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. School started, and since I want to graduate early, I had to take night school and take so many hard classes. Along with that I have work plus community service for my scholarship, my free time has been reduced to about an hour a week, if I'm lucky. I will try to update this soon, hopefully by mid-October. Without further ado: enjoy :)
Slate jumped out of the way as Ember fired several of his webs.
"Your going to have to do better than that human, if you want to beat me.", taunted Ember as he leaped away from one of slates attacks.
"I have to say, I haven't had this much fun since the invectids attacked the castle. Now take this!", Slate leaped into the air and managed to hit Ember in the legs. He was about to strike again until the orange Spider struck out with one of his other leg.
"Slate! Slate! We have a problem!"
Both spider and human stopped fighting.
"What is going on Lily? You look like you've seen a ghost."
"I ... sensed ...let me catch my ... breath.", lily said while she sat down for a while. She then told Slate and Ember about what she sensed.
"So you sensed that the world was going to end, but thats not possible. Mantid's gone, and we are at peace with the invectids."
"I have also sensed something", interjected Ember," I have sensed a feeling of danger for a few days now, that's why I decided to make my presence known now instead of waiting to see if he was a suitable battle partner. So far he passed, here take this Rider slate.", ember took out a Manacle and handed it to Slate.
"Wow, I'm finally a spider rider! Arachna Power!", yelled out slate as he put on the manacle.
The room shock as Zeronex's blade collided with Malrick's great swords.
"You may have caught me by surprise in the village, but this time I won't be so easily beaten.", Zeronex jumped out of the way as the Reptilian commander launched a devastating breath attack.
"My power is far greater than it was back then. You shall feel the true might of the Reptilian Forces.", Malrick said after unleashing a shock wave from his swords.
"Zeronex!", Nina managed to tackle Zeronex to the ground allowing both to evade the horizontal strike. The wall exploded as soon as the attack struck it, causing the the cavern to shake once more.
"See, my power has by far surpassed you pathetic guardians. Now submit to my might and perissshhhhh!!", he let out a terrible roar and lunged himself towards the guardians. Zeronex and Nina rolled to the side and hit Malrick's tail.
"Rooooaaaaarrrrrr!!", Malrick's eyes started to glow and he went berserk. He thrashed wildly attacking anything in his sights. The cavern started to collapse.
"Nina, get out of here, warn the Spider Riders!"
"But brother!",
"Don't argue with me! Now get going!",
"No, I'm not going! I am going to stay right here and help you fight this thing, like it or not!", said Nina defiantly.
"I hate to do this but you leave me no choice." Zeronex hit her in the head and knocked her out. He then raised his hand and teleported Nina out of the Cavern.
"Forgive me sis, but I can't let you get hurt.", he rushed towards the berserk reptilian.
"Hunter theirs too many of them! We can't hold them off much longer!", said Shadow as he jumped over a couple of reptilians and joined Igneous and Magma in fighting off the reptilians.
"I know, but what can we do? We can't let them get out of this cave or else they'll destroy the area.", Hunter struck another reptilian as four more came to fight. All of sudden their was a monstrous roar and the cavern started to collapse.
"Lumen it's a cave in!", shouted Sparkle as the ceiling started to fall on top of the spider riders and the reptilians. A massive boulder fell right in front of them, blocking the reptilians from attacking and giving them a chance to escape.
"Come on nows our chance!", Magma yelled over the noise of the cavern collapsing.
"But what about Nina?", asked Lumen worried about his crush.
"Your majesty we have to leave or we will be trapped!", Igneous restrained Lumen as he tried to go off in the opposite direction.
"Nina!", Lumen struggled to get free only to get hit in the head by a small rock.
"We leave now!", said Aqune leaving towards the exit with the other spider riders following her.
"Master Buguese, we just coming into view of the village near fragrant blooms. Shall we move out?", asked the invectid pilot.
"Not just yet, not until we can clearly see the village."
"Master Buguese look!", Buguese turned around and saw the entire village burned and tattered. The remains of buildings, and homes were scattered throughout the field. The beautiful flowers that grew in the fields were replaced by deep gashes of the earth.
"It must have been a terrible battle, for such destruction to have occurred.", Stags said stoically as he and the rest of the invectids stared in awe of the ruined fields. As soon as the ship landed in the middle of the ruined town, a bright flash blinded them momentarily.
"What is going on!? Are we under attack?", yelled Buguese drawing his sword out.
"Wait, I see a girl.", Stags walked up to the unconscious girl. "She is alive though seemed to have been hit in the back of the head."
Suddenly the earth began to shake as if some great monster had finally awoken from its slumber.
"What in the oracle's name is going on?!" Buguese turned around and saw the silhouettes of a group of people and spiders heading towards them.
"You have fought valiantly, but it seems you are no match for my commander, especially in his current state.", Zerk taunted Zeronex as he was sent crashing into the wall of the cavern. Malrick, his eyes glowing a blood red color, thrashed madly around the room.
"Giving up already? I thought the guardians had more power than that. bwha ha ha ha", his evil laughter echoed around the cavern that was now collapsing.
"I will never give in to your will!", Zeronex suddenly leaped into the air and slashed at the back of the monstrous reptilian, that had sent him into the wall. The reptilian exhausted from its rampage wasn't fast enough to block the attack. Zeronex's blade left a large gash across the creatures back. To exhausted to continue Malrick fell on his back defeated.
"Well, who would have thought that Malrick would defeat himself? He he he."
"What are you talking about? I defeated him!", angrily yelled Zeronex.
"That attack was to weak to stop him with one hit. He stupidly exhausted himself allowing you to win. Don't you get? Your were to weak to stop him."
"I'll show you weak!", Zeronex lunged at Zerk with his sword, only to have it blocked by Zerk's own sword.
"ha ha ha, is this the best you can do? I'm not impressed.", Zerk countered and slashed at Zeronex shoulder, causing him to drop his sword.
"You!", Zeronex tried to use some of the Oracle's strength, but he was to tired from using it to send his sister away and fighting off Malrick.
"Don't worry I won't kill you. You have a lot of strength and power; I could use someone like you!", Zerk picked him up by his throat.
"W..hat...are ...y..(cough)...ou...", Zeronex felt a sharp pain and everything went black.
