Hey everyone I hope you are enjoying the series so far. Remember to go and tell me about the chapter if you liked it or not. I can never have too many reviews...well maybe I can but you get the point. XD
Three days had passed since Nathan and Aaron first entered the Nightosphere. Most of the time they just ate and sat around the cave. Aaron's foot had gotten better, he could walk with it but it hurt him quite a bit to run with it. Nathan stood at the back of the cave punching the wall.
"Argh" Nathan shouted. "I'm so freaking bored! There's nothing to do here, no internet, no video games, no NOTHING!
"Calm down" Aaron muttered. We'll leave when I can run normally.
"Whatever, I'm gonna get some more bananas." Aaron looked at the big pile of bananas.
"We don't need any more right now" Nathan ignored him and left the cave. Aaron sighed, they'd been in the Nightosphere with very little to do. He could hardly blame Nathan for getting impatient and continually leaving when he got bored.
Nathan took his usual route to the house, making sure to stay out of sight. Sure enough as he reached the house there was a small pile of bananas. He scooped them up and started walking when he heard a small click behind him. Nathan dropped the bananas and whirled around to see what it was. The skinny demon had opened his door and seemed just as surprised as Nathan was to see him.
"Um...hi?" said the skinny demon nervously. "Are you the one who's been taking care of my boom-boom?"
"Yeah..." said Nathan unsure of this odd demon.
"Well...thanks, I've had no idea what to do with that stuff it just building up outside my house." Nathan lowered his fists. "Sure...no problem, have a nice day"
"W-wait do you maybe wanna...hang out or something?" "Hang out?" Nathan asked surprised. "Yeah I don't have many friends, I get beat up...a lot, but you seem cool, well sorta." Nathan hesitated. This demon seemed friendly enough. Plus if he had to wait in that cave any longer he'd go crazy. "Alright, I'm trusting you. Mind if I bring a friend?" "Great" said the demon looking happier. "I'll make snacks, oh by the way my name is Alain Delon...you can just call me Alain." He rushed inside to prepare snacks. Nathan chuckled. "Sweet" he returned to the cave in high spirits.
"Hey guess what?" he asked Aaron.
"What?"
"You have to guess first"
"You found an easier way to Ooo?"
"Nope"
"Alright what is it already?"
"I found someone to hang out with" said Nathan grinning.
"Who" Oh, a nice guy who calls himself Alain" "You sure we can trust him?" Aaron asked unsure. "Yeah he seems okay" "Okay..." Aaron said reluctantly. "I believe you" They both walked through the Nightosphere, Aaron was nervous and sweating from the heat, Nathan however having walked through the Nightosphere many times had gotten used to the heat and cheerfully whistled a song. They reached the rocky house, where Alain greeted them.
"Hey you made it. Is this your friend? Come in I- urgh hold on a second." Alain grunted pushing bananas out of his ears.
"Whew" he said. "Thanks for getting rid of this wack biz." Aaron gagged.
"This is where those bananas came from?! I can't believe you made me eat-" Nathan clamped his hand over Aaron's mouth.
"Never mind him let's get inside" Alain's house was smaller than they expected. Consisting of a small table with rocks as chairs, a campfire and a worn mattress. "Make yourself at home" said Alain. "Food?" He offered them a plate of black stringy balls. "Oh thanks" Nathan bit into one, it was very burnt, he coughed a little but tried to be polite.
" *Cough* This is good what is it?" "I dunno" said Alain "but I caught it yesterday" Nathan and Aaron sat in their rock chairs having awkward conversations with Alain, but he didn't seem to notice. They told him about how they got to the Nightosphere and that they planned to leave.
"You guys are gonna leave the Nightosphere?!" Alain gasped. "Do you...do you think you could take me with you?"
"I don't know" said Aaron. "We're trying not to draw attention with two people, three people might be too much."
"Oh." said Alain wilting a little. "Hey don't feel bad" said Nathan. "It would have taken days of traveling anyway." "Hmm?" said Alain. "What are you talking about? The transport demons don't take that long."
"Wait...transport demons?" "Yeah you know, giant demons, long legs, look like they've been cut in half?"
"Auugh" shouted Nathan he'd completely forgotten about them. "Come on! Let's go!" He pulled Aaron out of his seat. "You too Alain! Let's get out of here already!" Alain happily jumped out of his seat and followed them outside.
"Okay, where can we find one?"
"There" Alain pointed to a large demon that looked like it'd been cut in half. "Then let's hurry before it leaves" They all ran towards the demon. Aaron ran too trying to ignore the pain in his leg. Unfortunately a lot of demons noticed them running out in the open and gave chase. Aaron panted, his leg in pain. He hadn't moved very much for three days and was used to just sitting around. He started to lag behind.
"Come on, faster, faster!" said Nathan. "I...I can't" Aaron puffed
"Dang it Aaron" Nathan turned around and ran at Aaron. "Huh"
Aaron said as Nathan ran completely past him.
"Aaron if I die I'm gonna kick your ass!" He ran at the crowd of demons shouting, leading them away from Aaron and Alain. "Come on" said Alain "We gotta hurry." They reached the transport demon. "WHERE TO?" rumbled the giant demon. "Hold on my friend isn't here yet
" WHERE! TO! asked the demon getting impatient.
"Nathan, hurry!"
"I'm sorry" Nathan said still being chased by the mob of demons. " Don't let ME slow you down!" He shouted sarcastically. Nathan put on a burst of speed, managing to put a bit of distance from him and the crowd. Panting, he ran and jumped, grabbing on to the transport demon's legs. "GO! GO! GO!"
The demon lifted it's legs in time and leaving the angry demons behind. They all took a moment to catch their breath. "Thanks Nathan, you saved me there." "Aww it was nothing." he grinned. Nathan stopped and looked around, they were flying. He started laughing, really enjoying himself. Despite all that they went through, as they were flying right now the Nightosphere seemed somewhat...peaceful.
They landed near Hunson's castle. "Is it okay if we just walk in" asked Aaron. "He's not gonna find us is he?" "Don't worry" said Alain. "Around this time he's usually terrorizing the demons to crate chaos" "Geez" They cautiously entered the castle. Despite Hunson Abadeer being demon and the lord of evil his castle was surprisingly normal. Nathan looked around, they were in a big living room with a couple of bookcases, and a large fireplace with two swords hung over it. "Nice place he has here" He walked around admiring the room.
"Now if I remember correctly the portal..." Nathan stopped.
"Go on" said Aaron. "The portal...?"
"Look Nathan shouted running off into another room, Aaron and Alain followed.
"What is it? It's just a kitchen."
"A fridge" said Nathan happily. "A fridge? What's so great about a...oh." Nathan flung open the fridge.
"Yes! Meat, bread, juice! We've been eating nothing but bananas for three days, I could cry!" "Wait" said Alain "Are...are you sure we can just help ourselves? Isn't he gonna miss it?"
"Ah who cares, he's been tormenting everyone here let's see how he likes it."
They all raided the fridge until they were stuffed, then continued looking through Hunson's castle. "Ah, I found it!" Aaron shouted to the others after splitting up. They stood before a ghostly light blue portal floating in the air.
"This is gonna take us to Ooo?" Aaron asked.
Nathan shrugged "Probably"
"Probably? What if it doesn't?"
"You really want to stay HERE?" Nathan took a running start and jumped through the portal. Aaron walked towards it as well.
"You coming Alain?" Alain stood silent for a second.
"I'm really gonna miss this place"
"Are you kidding me? This place is terrible."
"Yeah, but I've been here all my life. It's all I've ever known." Aaron smiled.
"Come on, you don't belong here." They both jumped into the portal and disappeared. The next thing they knew they found themselves in an enormous green field, with grass going on for miles. "Did we make it?" Aaron asked. Nathan just stood there stunned. "Look." he whispered. Aaron looked where Nathan was pointing and gasped. In the far distance he could see the Candy Kingdom.
"WE MADE IT!" he shouted jumping around excitedly. Finally Aaron spoke.
"What should we do now?"
"I think we should go our separate ways."
"What? Why?"
"I would love to hang out with you here, but I came here to find my own adventures. We'll see each other again, but for now we head off on our own like an adventure. Alain, can you stick with Aaron for a while? I'd be worried if he was on his own."
"Sure, I didn't want to end up alone again anyway."
Aaron hesitated. "Are you sure about this?"
"Yeah, we'll eventually see each other after a while, until then we'll have to stay alive."
He stuck out his hand. "Deal?"
Aaron shook his hand. "Deal. Alright I'm gonna head over to the Candy Kingdom. What about you?"
Nathan looked towards broken the Ice Kingdom. "I've got my own ideas..."
Finn looked out the window, sighing he leaned back in his chair. It'd been two days since Flame Princess had fought with Ice King. They weren't talking right now. As a result Finn felt unhappy and sluggish. Jake opened the door.
"Hey Finn I'm home. Geez buddy you still sitting in that chair? You've been there since I left." "Yeah, so?"
"That was seven hours ago. Come on, let's play Rock Invaders that always cheers you up. Hey BMO come on."
BMO lowered himself off a counter he was sitting on. He ran up to Jake and extended his hand. "That will be 25 cents sir"
"BMO, I already told you, you're not an arcade game." BMO kept his arm extended. Jake grumbled
"Fine, here." He gave BMO a coin, BMO giggled and turned on the game. Finn feeling lazy didn't play that well , so Jake got a much higher score than him.
"Ha ha!" said Jake. He stretched out his rear end and rubbed his cheeks on Finn's face. "How'd you like that?"
"Yeah" Finn said without emotion "Nice one"
"Come on man, at least try to have fun. There's gotta be something to distract you from all this. We could go stop Ice King or something"
"Ice King hasn't done anything yet"
We could still beat him up if you wanted"
"Jake"
"Alright, alright"
"There's just nothing to do right now"
"Don't you say that something new and exciting is gonna happen, I can feel it."
