Chapter 4: Darkside Traveling: Eclipse Canyon Part 1
In all beings there is darkness and in darkness there is light. DubbleDuelSword.
In Finn's dreams
He awoke finding himself in the fountain in the hotel of spirits. He looked around and saw no one.
"Hello? You called me here and you don't show yourself. Sigh. What the bliz come on guy."
He got out of the fountain feeling soaking wet. He took off his shirt trying to ring it out the best he could.
"Finn."
He heard the faint voice call for him but he couldn't tell who it was.
"Finn."
The voice was more clear and this time and Finn knew who it was.
"Seraphina? Phina where are you?"
He then saw a faint red glow towards the right which would have led to a stairwell.
"Phina wait!"
He dropped his shirt running towards to were the light was. Sure enough it was her, she motioned to Finn and she ran up the stairs with Finn following behind her.
"Phina! Where we going?"
Along with running up the stairs they ran up the floors eventually with her entering a room on the seventh floor. Finn followed her entering the room but she wasn't there. In the room was a bed and a very large window. Finn approached the window looking out of it seeing various things such as broken and destroyed buildings. He hadn't noticed it but the hotel seemed to be on a beach front of some sorts with the ocean in the distance and his tree house in the middle of it.
"What the?"
He then heard someone giggle the turned to see Seraphina laying on the bed looking at him seductively.
"Seraphina. When did you get here?"
She stood up walking towards him smiling. Finn had backed up and was soon pressed against the window with Seraphina wrapping he arms around his neck pressing herself against him causing him to blush.
"Where's your shirt Finn? Or where you that excited to see me?"
"Umm-"
He was then cutoff by a kiss from her but it didn't last long. As he closed his eyes she disappeared leaving her warmth on his lips.
"So that's your girlfriend huh?"
Finn turned around seeing the mystery man levitating outside. He had his legs folded Indian style as he had a black staff with golden flames in his right hand as it lien on his shoulder.
"What did you do to her?" Finn shouted slamming his hands on the window and pressing his forehead on the glass.
"Relax lover boy I did nothing she was only a spirt from your emotions of love."
"But she felt so real."
"Our emotions become much more real in the Spiritual Plane."
"What do you want?"
"I brought you here to give some very useful information."
"Like what?"
"Well with you looking for the compass I advice you once you come back to Ooo head into the mountains and climb up to the highest peak and enter the cave that is in the summit. Your father hid his journal there it contains all you will need to understand the Hero's language. Not only that but it will contain his lifetime in the Mushroom war."
"How do you know this?"
"I still cannot tell you. But I do advice this; tell your girl about everything that has happened to you in your dreams."
"Why?"
"Do you love her?"
"Yes she means everything to me."
"Then that is why."
"Anything else you want to tell me?"
"Yeah. Put your shirt back on. Now isn't the time to impregnate your girlfriend."
Finn's face turned red again when he said that.
"I'm just kidding but seriously now is not the time for that just remember that."
"Okay." He said still blushing.
"Alright see you later."
He used his staff to touch the glass sending a massive gale force into the room blowing Finn away.
He awakes
Finn awoke quickly siting up in the bed making the covers fall of him revealing his bare chest. He looked out the large widow of the bedroom still seeing that it was still night only the full moon was not in the sky it had been replaced by a crescent moon. How strange he thought then again this place isn't called Darkside for nothing. You couldn't imagine how dumb he felt.
"How does he know all this stuff?"
He then left the room still trying to figure out how this guy knew all this stuff.
"What you thinking about Finn?"
He looked up he couldn't believe who he saw.
"Raven? What are you doing here?"
"Sightseeing. How 'bout you, making love to your girl?"
"Shut up what the hell do you really want!" He said blushing.
"In a nutshell, you and your friends lives. However now is not the time after all I should leave you to your laddie now shouldn't I."
"Then why don't you just kill us now huh?"
"And what fun would that be. I'm always one for a challenge."
"Your not evil are you."
"Misunderstood is what I am. I don't want to bore you with my life story so i'll make it short and simple. The government had kidnaped me and brainwashed me into thinking that I was a soulless mercenary and was sent to kill Gearhead. I was defeated however he did not kill me instead he understood what had happened to me and afford himself to be my master and I excepted. Still don't think that I I won't hesitate to kill you."
"Then why don't you just join us."
"'Afraid not. I decided to stay on the path that I am on for like Gearhead I want to change this world for the better. Do not try to stop us, Finn the human."
He turned making a portal appear and entered it leaving the hotel.
'Cause I'm lazy later in the day
Our heros are flying across the night sky heading towards the skyscraper in the center of the city.
"So we're going to the skyscraper?" Asked Adam.
"Yeah it's the entrance and exit into the rest of Darkside."
"Why's that?" Asked Finn.
"Starlight tower contains so much in here in Midnight city. Live concerts, amazing food, transporters, and a hell of a lot of other stuff."
"Man I wish we could stay a bit longer. I want to try some of that food."
"Sorry little brother but we don't have time for that."
They arrived at there destination seeing the glowing blue steps that led up to the automatic opening light blue doors. They walked up the steps and entered the building being amazed by the combination of white, blue, and black that had created the colors of the tiles and wall of the interior. They saw many and I mean many people walking and running along the first floor. Several stores and other things were here on this floor not to mention the people traveling up and down the stairs and going in and out of elevators.
"Wow!" Said Adam. "This place looks so amazing! Where do they find these colors and technology for this city?"
"Mainly from mining. After all this place does have teleports to take people out of the city."
"So where are the teleports?" Asked Seraphina.
"On the seventy-eighth floor."
"Holy crap!" Said Adam. "How many floors are there?"
"Last I checked...over two-hundred."
"WHAT!" Everyone shouted.
"Relax relax. It's not that bad we only have several flits of stairs."
After much much climbing later
"It's...finally...over." Adam said throwing himself down to the floor.
The rest of the gang followed him equally exhausted as he was.
"Why...couldn't...we...just take the...elevator." Asked Rosa holding onto the railing.
"I...told you...it would...take to...long and...this was faster." Replied Basilisx.
"So where's the...teleport...thingy?" Said Finn.
"It's the next door...on the right."
The gang some how manage to pick them selves up and walked into the room still ever so exhausted.
"Welcome to the Darkside Transportation Transporting Transporter's Teleport System. Try saying that three times fast. How can I help you this fine night?"
"We need a transporter to take us to Moonlight Tower."
"I'm am sorry but the transporter there had broke down not to long ago. However we can send you guys into Eclipse Canyon."
Crap! "Can you give us a second."
"Sure."
Basilisx had turned to his friends explaining there current situation. Each of them agreed to go through the Canyon.
"The Canyon it is."
"Very well then."
The man then had pressed the several buttons at the counter he was at which then activated the transportation device.
"Go at your own risk."
"Don't worry we'll be fine."
They stepped on the transportation floor being instantly transported.
...
A spiraling purple and blue portal had opened up in the sky and dumped out Finn, Seraphina, Adam, Basilisx, and Rosa on to the rocky blue ground.
"Well that hurt." Said Finn.
"Hey it's a transportation system not a safe you won't get hurt transportation system." Said Basilisx.
The gang got up looking around them seeing as thou they were at the entrance to a blue rock valley or black dirt labyrinth but in any case they were at the doors (actual moon colored doors) to enter Eclipse Canyon. The doors however were locked wouldn't even budge.
"How do we open these doors?" Said Finn banging on the moon color metal doors. (once again sometimes I can't tell the real color 'cause it always looks so different)
"These doors are indestructible breaking them is impossible. But there was supposed the some kind of riddle written on a light blue stone."
"I found it!"
Adam had a light blue rock over his head and showed it to his brother. There was an inscription on the rock that read;
One who's mind is clouded by judgement, sorrow, hate, or sadness may only see darkness. To find the key one must free them self and break the light barrier. Only then the free spirit shall be able to see the path that is visible in reverse.
"Okay" said Adam "...WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?"
"It's quite obvious I think." Said Seraphina. "Only someone who is free can be able to open the door?"
"Well if that is true," said Basilisx "then what light do we break and we're all free."
"Actually" said Adam "I think it refers to one's spirt. Someone who's spirt that has freed them self shall feel weightless right? So it refers to someone who is fearless who laughs in the face of danger. HAHAHA! Oh. And the light could refer to the moon?"
"So what you're saying is, we blow up the moon." Said Basilisx.
"Worth a shot right?" Said Finn.
"Yeah I guess."
Basilisx then raised has hand towards the moon and shot an electric ball at the moon but out of now where it was reflected right back them.
"Run!" Shouted Adam as the ball came exploding upon contact with the ground.
"Well now apparently I can't do it!"
"Perhaps you are blood thirsty again."
"I am not! And besides the blood they had at the hotel didn't even taste that good anyway."
"Well then perhaps I can do something."
Adam had then shot a white ball of magic in the same area that Basilisx had shot creating an explosion making pieces of what seemed to be a mirror fall to the ground.
"What the?" Said Finn picking a piece of the broken mirror.
"A mirror?" Adam had also picked up a piece examining it but he saw something. Something very interesting.
"Hey guys check this out."
Adam had reflected the moon light off the mirror shard reflecting it onto the metal door making the door shine. Soon after it opened.
"Well...it's opened."
"Everyone ready?"
They all nodded their heads Basilisx did too leading them into the blue canyon.
There you go the chapter is over and what awaits our heros as they enter the canyon? Find out next time. Review.
