'Damn it. Why did she have to come? Why couldn't she have gone with the others? WHY did she have to fight?'

GGGAAAAAAUUUUU!

BOOM!

Clack clack.

'Oh yah. That's why.' Shoving aside large boulders, Brick picked his way out of the newest pile of rubble.

The giant they had been fighting was proving to be quite a challenge. No matter how hard Brick hit the beast he could barely do any damage. Every punch, every kick, every blast of fire just skimmed the surface or ricochet off entirely. The swords seemed to hurt it a little but hardly left more than a scratch.

Blossom seemed to be having more luck though. Her punches and kicks were about as useless as his own, but her ice attacks left significant damage. Blossom being, well Blossom had noticed this early on and had been incorporating ice into all her attacks ever since.

GGGAAAAAUUUUUU!

The monster shrieked loudly then as Blossom managed to rip a shallow gash in it's side. She sped off as it lashed out at her then darted back concentrating on the wound. She managed to widen it significantly before being swatted away.

Following her lead, Brick dove under it's flailing arms before burying the blades into the torn flesh. With a burst of energy he lit the swords, charing it a dark black.

GGGAAAAUUUUUU!

Brick nearly went deaf as the roar boomed through the cavern. It cranked it's neck around then as it snapped at him. Razor sharp fangs clamped like a bear trap over his shoulder, the beast plucking him off like an annoying bug. It swiveled it's head around to smash the teen into a wall tearing the swords from his grip as the air left him.

A small trail of blood dripped down from his shoulder then as the monster released his arm, opening it's maw wide. Ghost blue light gathered at the back of it's throat as waves of rancid breath blew over the teen.

Still dazed, Brick shook his head lightly trying to regain his composure. Red eyes widened considerably as he realized his position. 'Crap! I can't dodge this one!' Arms crossed before his face, Brick prepared for the oncoming attack.

BOOM

'Huh?' Brick hesitantly opened one eye, he let out a sigh of relief. Brick was gonna have to thank her later.

Blossom had appeared out of seemingly nowhere, her hands glazed in thick layers of sharp jagged ice. She swung at the monster and had hit it hard enough to redirect the blast.

"Brick! Catch!" streaks of pink blast from her hands rocketing towards him. The poor boy barley had time to react before they crashed into the wall on either side of his face, missing him by hairs.

He nervously shifted his gaze to the side coming face to blade with one of Blossom's twin daggers. He swallowed dryly before grasping the hilt and yanking it from the wall.

Yelping in surprise, the teen nearly dropped the dagger as a shockwave of icy energy pulsed through his hand upon contact. Heat he could handle but this cold was unnatural. How something could be so cold that it burned was beyond him.

It occurred to him then. If he was holding Blossom's dagger, what was she using? He had no time to dwell on this though, for the monsters tail was careening toward him.

Snatching the other blade he quickly dodged, dropping to the ground and racing beneath the beast. 'Well if she threw em might as well use em.' Brick immediately began slashing at it's leg marveling at how easily the skin tore. It had been so difficult before with his own blades. 'Speaking of which, their still stuck in the bastards side.'

Brick quickly dodged an arm before making a dash for the swords. Just as his fingers gripped the hilt he was sent crashing to the ground as a blur of red and pink smashed into him.

The boy didn't have to think too hard to know what had happened, especially after small flakes of ice and hair landed in his face.

"Sorry Brick." Blossom growled as she rolled off of his chest. The temperature around him noticeably dropped as she stood, fists clenching at her side. A hand was suddenly in his face as she offered to help him up.

Once back on his feet he handed her the daggers. "I believe these belong to you."

"Keep them for now. It'll help more than your swords."

He would have insisted she take them but the girl was already running off, a trail of dark pink light trailing after her. 'She ignored me… again.' Oooh he was mad now.

Without a second thought he blast off for the dino's face. He slashed at it's eye, blinding it with blood. Plated lids closed over it's bloody eye before it began thrashing.

Like a wreaking ball it smashed around, ramming it's armored skull into every surface it came in contact with. Rocks and debris began to fall from above forcing Brick to dodge.

"Are you insane!" Blossoms voice seemed to echo around him then. Glancing up he noticed the girl twirling through the air, gracefully dodging falling stalactites. "It's going to bring the entire place down!"

"I kinda noticed that!" shouting back at her, he continued to evade the descending rocks. 'I really should start thinking things through!'

"Look out!" Blossom shouted from above. Brick spun around just in time to see the monsters tail speeding towards him.

'Aww crap.'

Hit in the side, he let out a loud grunt. 'Wait a minute…' The hit had come from the opposite side. It didn't hurt too much either.

"Whose savin, whose 'sorry ass' now!"

"Put me DOWN damn it!" Brick shouted completely mortified. He knew he was blushing and who could blame him. Blossom had just managed to save him and for that he was grateful, but how she had saved him was a different matter entirely!

The redhead was currently tucked against her, wrapped in her arms like a freaking BRIDE! HE WAS NOT A GIRL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

He shoved against her, forcing her to release him. Startled by the sudden movement she immediately let go, stumbling back from the force.

Her shocked expression quickly melted into a glare. It didn't take a genius to know she was pissed. "What is your problem?" A loud ringing sound emanated from the air around her as the particles began to freeze. "I'm trying to help and this is how you thank me?"

"I didn't need your help!" His temper flared. He was already pissed off from being ignored and now she wanted to yell at him? 'Who cares if she saved me! I am NOT taking this shit!'

"Fine then! Next time I'll let you get hit!"

The teens continued to argue, shooting insults back an forth, the colossus forgotten in the background as it raged. Neither seemed to even notice as boulders crashed around them the beast practically dancing overhead.

It wasn't until they were about to be stepped on that they finally realized what was going on. The cavern was virtually buried under piles of stone and earth yet the beast continued it's rampage. With hardly any room left they would surely be crushed beneath it's oncoming feet.

What was the use of running? There was nowhere to run to. Brick could make out each and every scale on the three toed foot as it came crashing down at them. 'What a way to go… squished under some brutes smelly feet…'

Glancing over at the girl standing beside him, he let out a sigh. Even now she was still keeping that damnable stoic look. Would she ever show another emotion beside anger? Hell she didn't even look shocked that they were about to be turned into pancakes.

'Aww why not.' stepping to the side, Brick shifted closer to Blossom before tossing an arm over her shoulder. If he didn't know any better he would have thought she had actually smiled just then. Well guess he'd never know for sure.

…

A bright flash of green was the last thing he saw.

'Wasn't it supposed to be a white light?'

•••000•••

HAHAHAHAHA! I'll leave you to guess what just happened. And just incase I confused some of you that white light is supposed to be referring to the 'white light at the end of the tunnel' people talk about seeing when you die.

I have no idea what happened to this chapter it was supposed to be short. I had planned for it to have a battle at the very beginning and turn into something else and somehow it ended up with the whole thing being a fight…

Well I hope the battle was ok. I never really wrote fight scenes before the last chapter so I hope it didn't seem to run on for too long.

I'd also like to thank megmeg999 for the encouragement! I was really feeling down about my lack of reviews at the time. But hey, like she said I'm still pretty new to the actual writing and updating part so I got over it. I'd just like to say a warm THANK YOU anyway because her email really cheered me up.

On another note HAPPY HALLOWEEN! It's my favorite holiday! I'm mean who docent like free candy? I'm probably gonna have a stomach ache tomorrow but who cares it'll be soooo worth it.

I hope I can find a good haunted house this year… the last few years didn't have many scary things around and I'd really like to be scared shitless just once. In reference to this, for any of you out there who think Halloween has really been in a rut you'd probably like to see this YouTube video I saw a while back. It's called 'Halloween Hoopla' with a character called 'Foamy the Squirrel' he tends to rant and rave about all sorts of things that piss him off and frankly I agree with a lot of what he says. Except the newer ones... Meh it's still pretty funny though.

Please leave a review! Thank you! And have a Happy Halloween!
