Chapter 81
"Vui!" I said, running over to Vui, concerned about her. "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine…" Vui said, nodding. "But I need your help… Master… He…"
"Is Keith okay?" Petal asked, worried.
"I don't know…" Vui said, frowning. "He sent me to get help… I didn't want to leave him, but…"
"Wait, you're worried about Keith?" Petal asked, shocked. "I thought you didn't like him, like the rest of us."
"Well, it's not like that…" Vui said, looking away, blushing. "It's just… Well… He's just an idiot sometimes…"
"Aw, how cute…" Petal teased, poking her in the cheek. Vui responded by biting her finger.
"Hey!" Petal exclaimed, irritated.
"Please, Kellyn…" Vui said, looking up at me, her eyes shining. "Master might be an idiot sometimes, but I… I can't stand worrying about him like this…"
"I understand." I said, nodding, hugging her. "Don't worry. Just leave it to us."
"Thanks…" Vui said, wiping tears from her eyes. "Okay! Good! Let's go!"
Vui led them to the next room, which had several walls like a maze, through we couldn't see past the large walls closing us in.
"How do we get through here?" I asked, looking around, frowning.
"Simple." Vui said, smiling, walking to a large leaf. "It's a spring leaf! Watch!" Vui jumped onto the leaf, and the leaf shot her up into the air and over one of the walls. Petal and I looked at each other and shrugged, smiling. We walked over to one of the leaves, and jumped onto it, the leaves shooting us over the wall. Rimei followed after us, and Kana and Kurou flew over the walls after us. We made our way through the mazes, and arrived at another room. This room had a young moemon in it, who wore a tan dress and had long brown hair in spikes that flowed down her back.
"A Sandslash!" I said, surprised.
"Yeah, she's one of the friends I made here." Vui said, smiling. "Sandslash, can you help us get through the ground that leads to Keith?"
"Oh, you got it!" Sandslash said, winking. She walked over to one of the walls that was caked in dirt and hit it with her claws, breaking down the wall into piles of sand. She stepped over the sand pile, and gestured for us to follow.
"Let's go then." I said, smiling. We headed deeper into the caves, which led to another room which was made out of crumbling floor tiles.
"Sand tomb!" Sandslash shouted, launching a blast of sand in a bridge towards the other side.
"Flamethrower!" Kana shouted, hitting the sand with intense flames, fusing it into glass.
"All right, be very careful, 'kay?" Kana said, flying over it, careful because of how fragile the bridge looked.
"Okay." I said, nodding, stepping onto the glass bridge first, which began to shake. I froze instantly, wary of putting anymore pressure onto the bridge. I slowly moved across it, and fortunately the bridge held.
"Let's do it!" I said, smiling. We finished moving across the bridge, and headed off through the temple again. We arrived in another room, the floor lined with moving panels as we walked across it. I stepped on one of the panels, and shot towards a wall. I collided head on with the wall, falling on my ass.
"Did that hurt?" Petal called to me.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK?" I asked, face palming. I stood up and we slowly moved across the room, getting pushed around by the floor tiles. We then arrived at one last room, which had a large hole imbedded in the center.
"What now?" I asked, afraid of the answer.
"Down, of course." Vui and Sandslash said at once, smiling. They jumped down through the hole, and disappeared into the darkness.
"Well, let's go then!" Kana said, jumping down after them excitedly. Petal and I followed after her, Rimei and Kurou following us.
"Amateurs." Kana, who was levitating just under the hole said, rolling her eyes, leisurely flying down after us.
We hit water, and were immediately submerged in an underwater oasis. Petal and I emerged from the water, gasping, Rimei swimming over to us.
"Oh god!" Kurou exclaimed, bursting from the oasis, thrashing in the water. "Help! I hate water!"
"I've got you." Rimei sighed, holding onto Kurou.
"Over here, guys!" Vui called from a stone bridge to our left. We swam over to it, Kana flying after us, and we climbed onto the bridge.
"What now?" Petal asked, wringing each of her ponytails dry. My hair was wet and messy as always, and we headed towards the opening in the rock wall. We arrived at a shrine, which had a shining yellow stone floating on a podium, in the shape of the crescent moon.
"Hello there." A moemon said, descending from the ceiling. She wore a yellow dress with a blue vest that stretch the length of it atop the dress. The vest was open and held up by a pink belt, and she wore pink veils that covered over her body, wrapping around her arms and over her back. She had short blonde hair that reached down to her shoulders, curled forwards into two points on the sides like ram horns, a pink fringe in front. She had black eyes and a warm smile, and looked at them.
"Um, hey, can we borrow your yellow gem?" I asked, frowning.
"…NO." The moemon said, shaking her head.
"Wait, what happened to my master?" Vui exclaimed, frowning.
"I defeated him and sent him packing." The moemon said, smiling. "He was so cool, though, saying how he needed the gem to save the world."
"No, he's not that cool." Vui said, frowning.
"Yes, he is." The moemon said, frowning.
"What are you, an idiot?" Vui asked, laughing. "He's the biggest idiot in the world."
"Yeah." Petal said, nodding.
"I'm on her side." I agreed.
Indeed, he is.
