Ch 2: the basement pt 3

Entering the room where he killed his first zombie, Isaac liked his chances of living through this. With his new abilities he was sure that he would be okay, if not forever, at least for a while. He thought of which rooms he had been to, to his left the door to the starting room, the door he just came out of, and in front and to the right are doors he has not been in yet, He decided to head straight. In this room, 2 pacers, and some conveniently placed spikes in the center of the room… piece of cake! Isaac thought to himself. He slowly walked up to the pacer, and shoved it saying "oops." The pacer fell to the ground gurgling angrily, the other pacer noticing this walked towards the source of the noise. Only to utter several pained grunts as it stepped on the spikes and fell to the ground gurgling not so happily, The other one struggling to get up. Isaac knew he had his work cut out for him, he meandered towards the pacer he shoved dragged it by the legs doing damage to it as he dragged the pacer towards the spikes. Once Isaac got close enough to the spikes he let the pacer get up. when the pacer was on its feet Isaac shouted "hey air-for-brains!" the pacer turns towards Isaac, and he punches the pacer square in the chest, sending it onto the spikes immediately killing the abomination, "You're dead!" Isaac retorted playfully. now turning his attention towards the immobile pacer Isaac hoisted the pacer into the air, "dad, taught me this one!" Isaac yells as he grabs the legs of the pacer, and spins around once before throwing it towards the spikes. When the pacer landed Isaac heard a large thud, followed by the sound of a door opening behind him. Isaac looked to the door then back to the corpses, his eyes widened slightly when he saw that they were gone, but he shook it off and headed towards the next room, but stopped in his tracks when he heard the sound of large wooden box falling to the ground behind him. He turned towards it to see what just happened. It was a chest, and it just fell from the ceiling "whatever." Isaac remarked, remembering his unheard of ability to conjure fire, so random boxes falling from the ceiling is a new norm, this cannot be that bad, right? Isaac thinks and walks over to the chest and bangs on it with his fist, it was hollow on the inside but also heard something on the inside, what sounded like… coins. Cautiously Isaac opens up the wooden chest to find 5 coins laying in the bottom. Shrugging to himself he said "…well, why not?" picking up the 5 coins he set them in one of his pockets.

Continuing into the next room he looked at the walls and found solid grey stones, 4 campfires in the corners of the room, and spikes in the middle, his nightmare from yesterday echoing in his mind "nu-uh man, nice try." Isaac spat out Before quickly leaving the room, he went back to the room where he killed his first zombie, and sat down on a flat boulder using his mind to create a map. he remembered he went straight when he headed out of the room he got the fire abilities from, which meant… "That way," pointing to the door to the left of the golden door. "That way, is the way I have to go next." He got up and left the room, as he entered the next room, he took a minute to observe, his surrounding as always, and was mildly surprised to see tons and tons of boulders filling the entire room save for a hallway that led to the next room and another hallway that led to a wall… with a pacer in front of it. "hmmm…" Isaac slowly mumbled to himself, he took one look to make sure the pacer remained unaware, and closed his eyes. He held his left hand below his right and breathed deeply, as thought and will conjured many small wisps of orange and drew them into the center of his hands, to form a fireball, when the fireball was condensed into the size of a grapefruit his hands switched positions, he drew his arms back to his right side. He waited for a second before opening his eyes and in one swift motion shot his right arm forward and the fireball flew towards the pacer. An explosion rang out in the air, the pacer's body slammed against the wall and a thud echoed through the room. "Hollow?" Isaac said to himself. As the charred body fell to the ground revealing the cracked wall letting in a draft that cleared the smoke, Another thud sounded. Isaac looked behind his shoulder. A bomb "oh lovely…" Isaac stated sarcastically. he looked at the bomb in relief when he saw that the fuse needed to be lit for it to go off. he picked it up barely requiring 2 hands to do so, immediately knowing the bombs' purpose "well at least I do not have to hold on to it for long." He brought the bomb over to the cracked wall, and set it down against it. Isaac summoned an ember to his fingertip and lit the fuse, running behind all the other boulders going to the door he came in from. "BREACH AND CLEAR!" he did not know why, but he had always wanted to yell that. After about 5 seconds a deafening blast tore through the air, and the shock wave destroyed all the rocks around the blast zone. Had Isaac been only a few feet closer, he might have been injured. Isaac made a mental note retreat to different room when using bombs.

The smoke cleared and a gaping hole in the wall greeted Isaac's eyes "humph!" Isaac breathed proudly to himself. Returning his attention to the wall, and or lack of, he walked into the hole to see what present or trap he had just opened. It resembled the room where he got his first ability; plain, compacted dirt walls and a pedestal. Ecstatic about his find, he sprinted towards the pedestal stopping three feet away from it to see what treasure he had found. Isaac tilted his head in confusion. What he saw was nothing out of the ordinary, just a weird looking key with a silver skull at the handle. "what's the use in not taking it, no skin off my back…" isaac remembered the bomb he used to get there in the first place "well… barely." He observed the key a little closer "I still don't see why I would need this, but I guess I'll find out later."

So how was this one? There was a little more action here, what do you gust think this story needs more of? Leave a review if you like it, next chapter will be up soon. And as always!
