Chapter Fifty Two: Red's Volcano
Frost's POV
Memories. Fun little things that come here and there at the most mysterious times. Whenever I'm with White, I feel sort of nostalgic. And when I'm with Phase, it feels as if Nova is with us. And Yellow... She's like Milk. Only less of a 'Mom' and more like a warden. Last night whenever I woke up, SHE woke up at the exact same time. I doubt that it's a coincidence... She's watching me very very closely for some reason. But what?
That aside, Yellow pin pointed Red's whereabouts which happens to be further to the west near a large abandoned mountain village. I don't know why she chose a mountain as her base... Couldn't it be just on a grassy field?! I'm getting chills don my spin and in my blood! Oh man... I thought I'd never have to confront my phobia ever again! Red has the undeniable advantage right now no matter how I look at it... It'll be like fighting against two enemies at once. Damn my phobia.
"Why do you think Red chose a mountain over a grassy field?", Phase asked Yellow childishly from behind me. Yellow sighed in annoyance the hundredth time, making ME sigh as well and stare out into the horizon where the dark brown mountain stood among many other swells in the land. Heights... Red purposely chose a high altitude area because of my fears. There's no doubt about it.
"Because Frost is afraid of heights! Can't you get that through your thick skull?!", Yellow yelled at Phase from inside the wagon behind, making White sigh in annoyance to my left which made me blankly blink before turning to my left.
In my new line of sight through my light red and light blue eyes, was a stunning figure that looked straight ahead with their light red, glowing eyes in focus. White. Her white, long, delicate hair brushed her shoulders and fluttered lightly behind her due to the influence of the soft, calming wind that blew endlessly against us. I was stunned by her beautiful image and stared at her for some time before blinking and snapping out of the trance. I shook my head left and right, taking in a deep breath of air and exhaled it all out.
"Don't let your phobia stop you in your tracks. Like it or not we're going to take you up to the top no matter what", White said with a cheerful smile plastered across her face, making me choke on the air stuck in between my throat to what she just said. She giggled cutely at my reaction as coughed a healthy six times in a row then ceased entirely. Damn... No matter what? She can't be serious.
"Over I dead body. There's no way that I'll stay sane even after a quarter of the way!", I claimed in fright and worry, again making her giggle which made me turn a slight red from embarrassment.
"I'm kidding Frost. I doubt that she's at the top of the mountain. She's smart enough to make a labyrinth within it. If you look closely, you can already see the entrance", She stated, making blink and immediately stare straight at the light brown mountain, squinting my eyes a little for more focus. I could JUST barely see the golden outlines of a massive Roman styled entrance which sent electrical pulses of excitement down my spine. After the last fight, I've been craving for some more action. And a labyrinth with possibly a million traps is one way to feed me! And a fight with Red is another... But... White's going to be taking her on this time... Bummer...
"Hey! Give me half of that beef!", Yellow exclaimed like a little girl as three consecutive loud thuds were heard from behind, making me sigh and look to my far right at the countless swells of the green land that dotted with trees and animals of all sort.
"Na-uh! Got get one yourself!", Phase yelled out with another five loud, painfully hard thuds that shook the wagon very slightly. Those two... They're like kids! Well, technically they are but that's not the point! Ah... I need to calm down and focus on the task at hand! A good six hours to go... Oh!
"Hey, isn't it Yellow and Phase's turn to come up to the front?", I recalled at the back of my mind, turning to face White's beautiful face that turned to me with a pleasant smile that could kill even the toughest opponents.
"I think. Let's give them a minute or two extra to settle down. I kinda want to see how it ends", White said calmly with her sweet tone of voice that I loved hearing. I blankly blinked, letting out a small depressed sigh through my damp lips and looked straight ahead at the tall, intimidating mountain. The tip was somewhat darker than the rest of the mountain and just nicked the sailing white clouds that passed by, leaving large scars on the bottom of them. My heart beat terribly fast to the adrenaline inducing sight... Heights...
The gravel road we road on was rough and made me a bit hesitant to switch places with Phase and Yellow. Pebbles kept on standing in the way of the steel wheels like soldiers trying to protect their homes which kept on shaking the damn wagon up down, left and right. Six hours... That's all I have to endure... Then after that, comes the big challenge. The mountain...
"Frost... Do you... Still love me?", White said all of a sudden from my left in a low, innocent tone of voice that sounded as if she was on the verge to tears. I jolted in electricity, widening my eyes and turning a bright red as she continued. "Sorry if it's sudden... I just wanted to know how you really feel about me"... White...
"Of course I still love you", I said shyly, slowly tuning my head around to face her smiling, red face that made my heart pound against my rib cage like a wild animal trying to break free from it's containment. "There's not one else that I love more than you. You're my White. I won't let anyone take you from me", I said with somewhat confidence and gave her a warm smile that made her blush even harder.
"Your White... Haha... Then you're my Frost", She said kindly, making me nod as we stared into one another's eyes deeply, locked in a trance of love that nothing could break... All went silent, like the world froze just for us. The grass stopped swaying and the sound of the wheels crushing the gravel ceased to exist...
Just as we both leaned close to each other in an attempt to kiss, the light blue curtains of the wagon opened like a tear from behind us, making the both of us blink and immediately turn to see Yellow and Phase standing before us with angry grins plastered across their faces... Eh?
"So, what's this about you two being together? Flirting time is over, get your butt out of there White and let me take the wheel. Frost, if you dare to move I'll cut your stomach open with my nose!", Yellow exclaimed in anger for a reason unknown to me as she held a large kitchen knife in her right hand, looking like she was ready to gut me and White. She's brutal! Is it even possible to cut someone open by using their nose? Either way, it sounds painful!
"Oh no you don't! You're going to flirt with Frost behind our backs! Let ME sit there!", Phase stated, making me cough instantaneously to what she just said and turn a shallow red. Eh?! Yellow?!
"WHAT?! D...Don't say things like that! Phase... That's not true!", Yellow yelled out of desperation, making White flinch as she knew exactly what Yellow's intentions were... I knew it too... Those stutters are what makes it so obvious that it's not even funny...
White giggled cutely, letting to of the wheel and standing up which grabbed my attention. I was completely blown away by her stunning beauty that put my soul to rest and made me feel as good as dead... Woah... The sun shone from behind her, emphasising on her beauty as she shook her head left and right before looking down at me with a smile that nearly sucked out my sanity...
Whack! Was the sound of the slap that I got across my left cheek by Yellow which pulled me back into reality... I turned around to look at her, wondering why the hell she slapped me to see her face as red as a tomato... Damn... Ack! My face throbs! Why the hell did she-?! Gah!
White's POV
"Woah! That's one hell of an entrance!", Phase exclaimed in awe to the pure golden entrance that stood before us, towering to a whopping twenty six metres and fifteen metres wide. I was completely baffled by the amazing sight, unable to comprehend how or why it was constructed... There were no doors nor any obstacles in front nor inside whatsoever, giving it an even more unusual feeling... Is it a trap? That's likely... But at the same time, I bet Red would want to face us head on. However... She's the type to cripple her foes before the grand fight. We better be careful once entering the cave...
"Why the hell would she go through the trouble just to make a golden entrance for us?", Yellow sighed and took a firm step forward, crushing a handful of fragile red rocks that dotted the solid rock hard ground unusually. "This makes no sense!".
"She probably made this to look inviting. The inside is most likely rigged with traps of all sorts", Frost stated and took a good step forward from my right, also crushing a handful of red rocks which snapped me out of my trance and revert my vision to the inside of the golden entrance... Pitch black... Oh wait. There's a faint red glow just beaming from within... And a green light!
Frost paused, then took a sudden step back in surprise for some reason, making us all stare at him with curious faces... His light grey cat-like ears twitched in fright before he spoke...
"Guys... You know how this is a mountain, right?", He said in a serious tone of voice, gulping then continuing. I tilted my head to the right in confusement with my hair bouncing slightly. "There's a mass amount of abnormal heat signatures coming from down below and within... Meaning only one thing"... Oh crap... Don't tell me it's a-
"Volcano...", Phase said in awe...
"Right... And at the end of this corridor, there's what looks like a piping hot crystal
next to some giant rock standing on four pillars that also have hot crystals at the base of the pillars... I'm making a wild guess-".
"SQUAAAAARRRRRRKKKKK", Came out an abnormally loud roar from within the cave that blasted out a lethal wind force that made our hair and attire explode behind us in a straight line, terrified by the tremendous force... What... Was that?! Huh? Why aren't my ears hurting?!
"I knew it... Just like Yellow, we're going to have to fight a creature in order to get to Red", Frost muttered before suddenly, he launched himself forward and made a full sprint into the entrance without hesitation whatsoever and a smile plastered across his face... "Let's go! We don't have a moment to lose! If this is a volcano, then I'm betting that it's going to erupt soon! Hurry!".
Frost's POV
Fuck! It's so hot in here! Gah!... I grit my teeth and continued to walk through the darkness towards a bright red light at the end. Behind me were the girls who would occasionally choke on the heat. The walls were scorching hot, the dealing dripped of boiling water and the ground rumbled as we got closer and closer to the centre of the volcano. Finally, after a good five minutes of walking through darkness, we walked into the heart of the volcano... I was speechless. Completely and utterly speechless... I slowly walked forward on a wide dark grey bridge made of solid bedrock mixed with stone and raw iron ore over a deadly ocean of lava that reached down all the way to the mantle... I'd fucking hate to fall into that...
The entire room, was a massive hollowed out chunk of the volcano with a large hole at the top that proved to be the crater... The walls were a light red from the lava and the air inside her smelt of magnesium and sulphur dioxide mixed with chlorine... A deadly combo that if breathed in too much, will cause death... But luckily for us, we're FrostBittens... It may make breathing difficult for us but it certainly won't kill us.
Intense bubbling occurred from underneath us as we walked closer and closer to the end of the bridge that was directly underneath the large hole atop where the sun's rays shone through... I dropped to my knees after a few good steps, quickly crossing my legs and laying my back against the hard, COOL bedrock to rest from the heat... White stood above me with her legs apart, making me choke suddenly as the image of her light blue and white panties BURNT into my mind like a scar. She made a cute, helpless yelp in embarrassment and jumped back as I lay down there with widened eyes and an EXTREMELY red face... Dammit! Just like the first time Mindy was with me! I accidental looked up her damn skirt! Things can't get worse than this!...
Just as I thought that, the ground shook vividly, scaring the crap out of me before a loud, tremendous roar emitted from underneath us along with a massive splash... Eh?! I grunted, pushing myself backwards then scraping my way up to my feet, looking both left and right to see what was going on before the sounds of rocks smashing and cracking sounded from dead ahead...
The moment I had my eyes locked onto it... I nearly... NEARLY collapsed and turned into a girl to how MASSIVE the creature was... I felt dizzy, and was ready to spew out yesterday's contents all over the ground but I sucked it up and swallowed it back down, ALMOST making me vomit again to how disgusting it tasted... Bitter...
"What... The hell is that?!", Phase cried in pure shock and horror to the creature that stood before us like a soldier... It was something that you'd expect to see as the 'final boss' of a game or movie... Before us, stood a massive molten rock humanoid figure that rose up to nearly as high as the mountain itself... Lava rolled off it's shoulders and into the ocean as well as drooling from out of it's bright red eye sockets and intimidating jaws which could force even the strongest and most fearless men to suicide... H...How the fuck are we going to take that down?!
Red's POV
They're here! Finally! Now we can get down as low to the mantle to handle our business! Kill Frost then force Black to remember her missing memories! Haha! First thing's first. They'll have to fight my magma giant before they can come right ME! I'll be waiting for them at the top of the volcano! Bwahahahahaha!
Their fight has begun! Hehe! Listen to them scream by the burning magma of my giant! Master will be so proud of me once I get him Black Melody!
