(Cat's POV)

"Wait. What will happen to the stuffed animal you?" I wondered.

"It'll still be here, but I won't. You know I love you like you're my sister, but it's for the best. Plus, I always be with you, in here." He pointed to my chest.

"I'll miss you so much, though..."

"Don't worry, it won't be long until we meet again." I saw that he started to fade.

"Until we meet again, then, Stallion," I said.

He kissed my horehead, and replied, "Until then. Here, keep this. It'll be a memory of what was once mine."

"You're favorite necklace?"

"I don't need it anymore. Goodbye, Cat Valentine."

With that, he disappeared.

(Robbie's POV)

Ugh... Where am I?

I opened my eyes, and saw Stallion just staring at me.

"AHH!" I screamed.

"Hello!" he greeted me.

"What? Where? Wait, where are we, and what are you doing here?" I asked.

"We're in the middle of nowhere and I sacrificed myself to save you from death."

"How sure are you that you'll get me out of death's grasp?"

"I'm 200% sure that you'll get out of here. As for me, I won't be escaping this place."

"Why not?" I questioned.

"Because, I'm saving you, remember? Only one of us will get out of here."

"Wait, why are you 200% sure?"

"Boy, I know how more ways to trick the Devil more than there are nanometers in the width of paper."

"Sheesh. Is it that easy to escape death?"

"Well, no. It takes practice."

"You died more than once?"

"I died 50 times, I'll admit. How did I come back, you ask? Well, all those 50 times, I didn't have a person to rescue. When you're rescuing someone, it's either you, or that other person."

"Really?"

"Really. So, you want to get out of this place or what?"

"Shoosh, yeah, I want to leave this place."

"Well, then. Follow me, I'll teach you the ropes on tricking death."

Robbie followed me, and we started our adventure through this place.

So I put one foot
Front of the other
No, no, no, nothing's gonna break my stride
I keep climbing
Gonna keep fighting
Until I make it to the other side down

"Tip one, whatever you do, don't look down," he told me.

"Okay; I'll try not to." I knew I was tempted, but I didn't look down.

"Tip Two, stay on your toes. It will reduce your time on the ground."

"Okay."

"Tip Three, if you want to live, you have to do exactly what I do, even if I break all logic sense. I mean, this is Hell, after all."

"Sure. I'd rather break logic than stay in Hell."

"Good choice. Now, follow me if you want to live."

With that, we started to travel.

We went through volcanoes, blizzards, tornados.

"Vines. Tip Four, never touch those vines. Fall through these thorny bushes. Those bushes do no harm, but those vines do."

"Are you insane? We're gonna get killed!"

"Are you that stupid? We're already dead. Trust me, I've been here."

I jumped into the thorny bushes.

"See? Was that so hard?"

"No.."

"Exactly. Moving on. The hallway of doors. DO NOT OPEN ANY DOORS."

"I won't!"

"Okay. Just stay behind me."

There were confusing numbers and shapes on each door. How could Stallion possibly know which door leads where?

"Oh, here it is. The door to the next zone."

Then, I heard a growl. Stallion quickly turned around, withdrawed a gun out my pocket, then shot the creature.

"Whoa! What was that?"

"One of my relatives that never escaped Hell. Let's see... Oh, it's my Uncle Jason. He'll be fine. He died by getting shot in the heart, so it's not like he's used to getting shot. Come on."

We walked into the door.

"Oh my gosh, this place is paradise!" I commented.

"Don't. Move," He blocked me with his right arm.

"Why not?"

"Just wait."

The land seperated in two, and the land below the cracks turned into flames.

"Why don't you listen to me? I died more times than you did."

"I don't know."

"Well, you better listen to me at this point. If you don't well, good luck living as a ghost."

I fell down the Pit of Flames, as Robbie followed me.

"Be a man, Shapiro. Nothing hurts you when you're already dead," Stallion told me.

"Yeah, I'm still wrapping my mind around the fact that I'M DEAD!" I shouted at him.

"Well, get over it!"

We ran through the blazing surface. We ended up in a frozen lake.

"We're almost to the portal zone. We have two more environments to go through," Stallion said.

"Finally." I sighed in relief.

"Don't relax now, the final Two Zones are the hardest," he told me.

I followed him through the frozen lake.

"Question, where did you get that pocket revolver?" I asked.

"Oh, it's my emergency revolver. When it doubt, shoot out. I only use it when I'm here."

"Oh, okay."

"Look out!" he pulled me back into where he is.

"What?"

"Follow me. The ice is really thin from here to the other end of the lake. Wait, I got a better idea!"

Stallion took out a whistle, then blew it.

"What's that noise?" I said. It sounded like a flapping sound.

"That's the sound of my pet dragon flying his way here!" Stallion said excitedly.

I saw the dragon land on the ice.

"Robbie, this is my pet dragon, Hellfang. Hellfang, this is a first-timer, Robbie."

The dragon nodded.

"Hello," I greeted.

"Hellfang, would you mind taking us to Zone 37? I know we're not that far from there, but we don't have that much time to travel."

Hellfang nodded.

"Climb on, Robbie."

With that, I did.

"Let's go!" Stallion said.

With that, we started to ascend.

We got higher, and higher.

"Wow, that's a beautiful view."

"Yeah. I'm impressed, too. It looks impressive for Hell, right?"

"Yep," I agreed.

Bird's eye view
Awake the stars
'Cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams
And remember me
Sweet bravery
Because after all those wings will take you
Up so high
So bid the forest a fond goodbye
As you brace the wind and
Take to the sky

"Question: What's Zone 37?"

"Zone 37 is the Portal Zone."

"So, are you saying we were just at Zone 35?"

"No. We were at Zone 115. Nothing is in order in Hell."

Later...

"Here we are, Zone 37," Stallion said.

"Seems like purple is the official color of vortexes," I commented.

"It's just the oxygen making it purple. The original color of a vortex is a greenish-bluish color. More like a teal color."

"Interesting."

"Well? What are you waiting for? Go in this vortex. It'll lead you back to Rex's log cabin."

"Will this be the last time I'll see you?" I asked. I kind of cared of him, you know.

"I guarantee this is won't be the last time you'll see me. Not that I'm saying you'll be going to Hell, but... Well, I'll see you again soon."

"Promise?"

"I promise. Oh, and tell Cat I love here, and I'll see her earlier than she expects." Stallion winks at me.

"I will."

I stepped into the vortex.

"This isn't goodbye," Stallion smiled at me.

"See you," I said.

Then, I continued walking into the vortex.

Next thing I know, I see a flash.
