(Aet) If you can hold out BlackBlood, I can call for my Lab and crew to get here as fast as possible. Then we would just have to escape but you need to survive this or we will surely die...
(BlackBlood) Shut up...
BlackBlood seemed to be in a vulnerable position and still remained calm. Her life was hanging within the grasp of a murderous being. Tusok grabbed her arms with its three remaining arms. It was going to finish her off and move on to the weaker opponents....
Aet looked at an injured Gargy in the corner and quickly came to the realization that this was going to be it... He fell to his knees in despair, with Gargy standing up as if he was willing to meet death head on....
Four quick and precise cuts, -Shwing- Shwing- Shwing- Shwing- BlackBlood used her Bone dagger to cut off all the arms of Tusok. Aet was baffled at the speed and ferocity in which BlackBlood performed the moves....
The limbs didn't even touch the floor of the room, instead they just dissipated into the air like ash petals leaking from a furnace. Tusok was a shell of its former self...
BlackBlood did not give Tusok a chance to do anything else, she raised her hand and lightly placed her palm on Tusok's chest. "Return to your post, Guardian of Oblivion"...
As BlackBlood finished her sentence, her eyes flashed Hot White, followed by hair raising pressure. -Fooof- BlackBlood was standing there with a smirk on her face and palm still out there in its pose...
Admiration from Aet settled in as he was a direct product of BlackBlood's finish. She had put the Monster that was wreaking havoc like nothing seen before just a few minutes earlier, into an eternal slumber with little to no effort...
She walked around the room looking at the bodies of all those slain by Tusok... She stopped at one body that had been bitten in half by the War. The look on BlackBlood's face became one of seriousness. Something had riled her up deep inside...
(BlackBlood) Aet let's get your lab here so we can leave this place....
(Aet) It's coming up now, we just have to be outside for them to calculate our exact coordinates...
The trio went to the hole that Tusok ripped in the room upon its entrance. Their gaze was quite astonishing as the Labyrinth was completely transformed...
The area that was once a rundown, deserted, and destroyed village, was now a flat plateau with a never ending drop right underneath the room. An eerie green gaseous haze crept along the plateau, there were three moons in sight, all of them different shapes and sizes. The moons were suspended about fifty feet off the surface of the plateau but each was giving off different waves of energy....
The One on the left was smaller in size and looked to be the shape of a half moon. Its surface was made of rocks and dirt with a single mountain raised off its surface. It was pouring out a cyclone of the green gas engulfing the Plateau...
The one in the middle was sleek and metallic, with rings spiraling around it flashing purple. It had no rough edges and was a full moon - also the biggest. It was orbited by thousands of small metal squares and each sat in purple goo circling the Metallic Sphere...
The third and final moon was didn't have a hard surface, it seemed like a free form organism that shouldn't be able to keep its shape... But it was crescent shaped and considerably smaller in size. It too had some kind of ominous pressure, giving off a blood-tinged hue. It was this one that gave off the most light. It ranged over a good chunk of the plateau...
(Aet) I haven't seen the Labyrinth in this manner. BlackBlood I don't know what's going on here, but this isn't a sector I'm familiar with... My lab will be here soon as we come in contact with the actual labyrinth...
BlackBlood didn't hesitate and jumped down onto the Plateau. She walked in the gas to see if there would be ramifications, but nothing happened to her. Gargy and Aet met her down on the plateau and still nothing...
The lab came into view and made its way directly overhead. Aet called his crew to send down the interceptor. The pod came down slowly, (BlackBlood) "take us closer to those moons before we enter your lab"...
As the pod closed the distance and moved closer to the moons the wind picked up, and howled as they hovered pass the first moon. The turbulence was horribly strong and the craft almost was sucked in, even though they were some distance away...
The screams of agony and anguish rang out loudly as if souls of the damned were flying all around them. The spherical second moon was sizzling and its purple waves were causing frost to form on the windows of the pod...
The crescent moon was dreadful and it was evident to them as they got closer and closer. The red hue was actually flames engulfing a gel like amoeba. It wasn't visually dreadful no, it was what was taking place within the flames...
Fishlike creatures inside of the amoeba spawned and ate smaller ones, and bigger ones spawned and ate them. It was as if life was constantly being born and taken - an unnatural overturn of the cycle....
(Aet) Is that enough for you?? I don't want to be down here any longer, let's go so we can figure out what's next....
Back at the Oasis....
(Holders) Grada what the hell happened!??? What the hell do we do now? You left Aet because he sided with BlackBlood so now we're stuck with Cerq?? We don't know anything about trolls or Paoki Star...
(Grada) We are on the precipice of another war. That BlackBlood was a Tiefling!!
-Whaaaa... There should be none of them left in our area. Your family headed the war to end their tyranny here...
(Grada) Yeah and we thought we had finished the war with enough violence that no other tieflings would try to infringe upon us again...
-What does she want Grada?? Retribution??! Revenge??!!
(Grada) I don't know what she wanted, but the bigger question is who the hell sent her here??
To be Continued….
