Chapter 42:Caiyi

There was a searing pain in his stomach that refused to go away. He felt at his ribs and with a gasp, realized that some of them were possibly broken. He looked at Tim and saw that his face was pale, he also noting the way his leg was bent at an impossible angle. Ruidi was currently trying to hold Daedalus back, but he wasn't all that successful. Even as he watched, Daedalus took a short, thin tube out of one his pockets and hurled it at one of the Ruidi's. It turned out to be a clone, luckily, and as it hit the clone, the tube sent blue liquid roaring out of both ends. Water. The water surrounded the clone and with a slight pop, the clone was gone.

Daedalus hesitated for a brief second after that, trying to figure out which Ruidi was the real one. Taking Daedalus' hesitation as a gap to attack, Ruidi tried slashing Daedalus' leg. When Ruidi's sword almost hit Daedalus' leg, the sword reflected back right into Ruidi's face. Ruidi tried another time, from the back, first feinting to Daedalus' left side, then he tried to roll behind him from the right side, but failed, since Daedalus had apparently seen it coming to him and slashed Ruidi from his left hand.

'I wonder where the girls are. They should've been screaming by now or at least helping us. I hope they reach somewhere safe.'. His train of thought disappeared as Ruidi's last clone was stabbed with a short dagger that Daedalus seemed to have produced out of nowhere. As his last clone was destroyed, Daedalus moved with astonishing speed for an old man, drawing forth his own sword and in two seconds, he'd stabbed Ruidi right in the heart. Then, Daedalus got quite a surprise.

The real Ruidi folded in his wings and plunged down as Daedalus stabbed what he thought was the real him. Ruidi drew his sword and skewered Daedalus on it. Daedalus howled in pain and pulled himself off. Tim and Caiyi all cheered and tried to stand up.

"Give up, Daedalus," Tim called. "You're finished now!"

Daedalus smiled wickedly. "Oh, really?" Then, he fell apart, literally. Then sparks started to shoot out of the body, nearly hitting them.

"It's a robot!" Caiyi called, staring at the wires. Then, it dawned on him. "Where's the real one?" he yelled, looking around. He has just made the same mistake as the robot had. And that had been a near fatal mistake for him. He was about to sit down when an incredibly fast and strong force came out of nowhere and struck him in the was thrown backwards about 100 feet and got up, groggily returning to his feet groaning. He started to realize that he was still in danger and was immediately alert.

Suddenly, Daedelus appeared and lunged at Caiyi. He just barely had enough time to jump out of the way before the blade came whistling past his ear, centimeters away from him. Then, with the speed of a hummingbird's wings, he stabbed all of them. Ruidi in the stomach, Caiyi in the side, and Tim in his leg. The battle ended as soon as it started. Daedelus vanished and they all heard a crackling noise in their heads.

'Fools! You will never get me for I will never come to you in person! How stupid do you think I am? Your puny little quest is filled with many of my pleasant little surprises and you can't ignore them! How do you like THAT for a welcoming gift? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!'

Everyone groaned, blood covering the ground where they laid.

"Quick; hurry up! They are losing blood! Lots of blood! HURRY!" Shouted the medical group.

One by one the injured were lifted and carried to the medical tent, Caiyi groaned in pain, never has he gone through such a great deal of pain, the same thing with everyone else. No one uttered one single word. But where were the girls?

Chapter 43: Pranu

Pranu and Roger trekked through the woods. Suddenly there was a rustling. Pranu whipped around, sword at ready. And then she saw it, a pair of bright white, Fruit of the Loom tighty whities.

Chapter 44: Alex

Alex tensed when she saw Daedalus. She saw Bhavana, Eshana and Shirley do the same. And then she heard it scream.

Chapter 45: Pranu

The minotaur came out, wearing nothing but underwear. It's nose, covered in snot flared. Roger passed out at Pranu's feet.

"What the h***" She exclaimed. And then the Minotaur charged.
