Well people, here it is. The last chapter of this story. Lets do this.

…...

The Hunter

Final

The stairway was initially pitch black, forcing Finn to take a torch out of his backpack and light it. The light given off by the torch was minimal. Thankfully it proved unnecessary as already lit torches were built into the wall a short way down. Finn kept the torch lit regardless, just in case they ended up needing it.

They could hear the pests skittering around as they reached the bottom of the stairs. A closed door was at there. Finn pressed his ear against the door, trying to listen to what was on the other side. The only thing he could make out was the creatures running around so he cautiously opened the door just slightly.

He peered through the ajar door into a very dark room. A single purple light was coming from the center of the round room. A dark silhouette of a person stood before a large purple flame. He appeared to be mumbling something to himself as he went through nearby boxes and read from various scrolls and books.

"Should we attack him?" Jake asked.

"Lets see what he's doing first." Finn responded.

A bright flash of light nearly blinded Finn as the flame exploded. The room was completely dark for a few moments before fire was flung around the room from the silhouette lighting various torches spread throughout the room.

"No! Why do these things never work the first time!" The Wizard screeched.

"Can we just end this already?" The hunter asked Finn and Jake.

Finn nodded and rushed out the door as Jake smashed it open. The hunter drew his dagger and prepared to start cutting up any of the creatures that attacked. All three of them froze when they got a good look at the wizard.

To say that his appearance was awful would be a severe understatement. His gray hair was filthy and ragged, his clothes were shredded and stained, and he was covered in cut, bruises and just general filth. They weren't sure if they wanted to attack him or not given his truly terrible state.

"What have you done! I don't have time to get a new door!" He briskly walked past them and started picking up the pieces of door and flinging them past some steel bars at the side of the room. The creatures were all nesting inside of cells built into the walls. Each cell had a hole built into it leading up to the surface, allowing the creatures to scavenge.

"Have you been making all of these things!?" The hunter shouted.

The wizard scratched at his filthy beard for a few moments before responding. "Yes?"

"Dude, those things are attacking people and stealing food!" Finn yelled at the wizard.

The wizard stared at them for a long few moments before responding somewhat hesitantly. "Yes?"

"You unleashed a plague of dangerous vermin on the local populous." Said Jake.

The wizard began going through various notes on his desk before picking a few of them out. "Are you going somewhere with this? Because I have work to do."

"That's enough..." The hunter said as he took his gun out and fired a warning shot before reloading. "We're ending this and your coming with us."

The wizard quickly grabbed at something under his desk. The sound of gears moving could be heard as the metal bars keeping the creatures at bay sunk into the floor. They sprung forth immediately rushing towards the trio as well as the wizard.

"We need to move back!" The hunter pulled Finn and Jake back towards the door.

All three of them attacked the massive swarm of creatures around them. Jake was able to easily knock large numbers of them away at a time as Finn and the hunter hacked away at the attackers individually.

Repeated flashes of light came from the other side of the room as the wizard struggled to keep his own swarm at bay. It took a few full minutes of fighting before their numbers started to visibly thin. Finn rapidly began hacking through the few remaining ones with his red sword when he realized that they were nearly done.

He needed a few moments to catch his breath when he impaled the last one of his attackers. A bolt of electricity floored him a moment later, flung by the wizard across the room. They hadn't expected an attack from him given that the swarm surrounding him was still a dozen strong. The creatures took advantage of him being distracted by latching on and biting and clawing him.

He sent a wave of electricity into the creatures that were clinging to him only to be smashed into the wall by Jake's enlarged fist. He didn't quite collapse when Jake retracted his arm but instead stumbled forward trying to form some sort of magical attack. He sent a pitifully small spark of electricity forward towards Jake.

The shock did absolutely nothing when it touched him. Jake was about to attack again before the wizard finally collapsed on the ground, defeated.

The hunter walked up to the badly injured wizard. "I think my friend is going to like what I bring in to the village."
