Poom was looking at Jozuma and Striker arguing
Cal did you see Haku'na?!?! Jozuma asked Striker that was keeping guard while they were sleeping.
Red-head? Yeah, he was here saw him walking off further down into the cave that way Striker spoke slowly mumbling to himself as he pointed his sword to a path on the right.
Why didn't you stop him?! Jozuma was getting angry.
Hey it was my job to keep demons out not to keep you guys in, I told it was a bad idea but he kept going. Striker defended himself.
Dammit, come on we got to find Haku'na. Jozuma spoke as he went the cave on the right in search of Haku'na showing Poom to follow him.
They walked for minutes following Jozuma, that seemed like he knew where he was going.
After much walking, they came to the gigantic metal door, guarded by a pair of demons, one bigger one smaller. The demons looked similar to the one that they had already fought, armed and ready to fight. Poom was ready to attack them, but Jozuma not waiting a moment, clearly angry, gave a command to Striker, which he obeyed and they attacked the demons, working in tandem. The demons flew left and right, while bombs were exploding and making them move like ping pongs. Jozuma and Striker struck down the demons even before Poom could do anything. Jozuma punched the demon as hard as he could and blasted him straight through the door landing dead in the room behind it.
They entered the room, being cautious of an ambush. As they entered Poom could see that the room looked like an arena. It was very strange finding an arena underground, but Poom had an open mind. In what would be bleachers, stood a bunch of demons, cheering, shouting. Sounds could be heard covering the arena like room, making the crowd even more energetic. Poom was not sure if they would manage to exit the room alive.
On the other side of the room, in the back, stood an odd trinket on a pedestal.
In the center of the room stood a throne, occupied by a creature that, if it weren't for obvious demonic features, would be able to pass as a man, outside this cave, holding a dark sword, that was slightly glowing like it was freshly forged.
The placement of the trinket and the demon guarding it were a clear indicator that it was the thing they were looking for.
Beneath the demon's feet laid Haku'na's limp body, not giving any signs of life.
As they were about to walk towards Haku'na's body, they both shouted Haku'na Haku'na
But they were stoped by a voice in their heads.
Make no further steps.Ah so you are familiar with this, unfortunatley this is our only method of speech but don't worry I am a little more civil than my brethren. What did you do to Haku'na. Jozuma shouted clearly angry.
The red one, we merely enlightened him and he came on his own will, though he seemed to wake and tried to defy me so I had to.... disable him.
Poom was startled, by those words.
Could have he really killed Haku'na? Poom thought.
Now now that's a surprise.
It seems that you have been enlightened for some time now and that one must be the harbinger of your enlightenment. The demon pointed at Striker.
I like you so I will allow you alternative, if you 3 leave now I will grant you some of the water from this stream which contain very special properties. Jozuma pulled out a few vials of the samples he took before. Already took it. That is not yours to take.
The demon and Jozuma continued arguing as Poom was slowly trying to get closer to Haku'na's body with out rasing suspition. Just as he was in range for his teleportastion spell, the demon stood up from his throne and lifted his sword.
All three of them, Striker, Jozuma and Poom attacked, but the demons were too fast even for all of them working together and blocked all their attacks without any problem. Jozuma landed a few punches, but it was not enough to do almost any damage to the demon. The demon had a smirk on his face, mocking their inability to do him any harm.
There was a look of determination on Jozuma's face, and as the demon was approaching him and reading his attack Jozuma fired his spell directly at the demons temple, causing it to fall back with a hole in its skull. This was their golden opportunity.
The demos at the bleachers were booing and shouting, and the drumming had changed the pattern. As the demon was lying on the ground, with his eyes closed, Poom created his signature polygon sword, and with all his strength slashed at the demons head. The demon's eyes suddenly opened, and he tried stopping Poom's slash with his hand, but it still connected, slashing the demon's hand and a part of his chest. Both Poom and Jozuma stood in confusion, but the demon moved swiftly, and stood up, clearly still affected by the head shot and the polygon sword. Poom was not letting anything to chance, so he continued his assault.
The demon bobbed left and right as he moved
What ever Jozuma did, has disabled him. thought Poom preparing for his next attack.
As Poom swung his sword, the demon, still moving oddly, blocked it with his own sword. As the swords touched the metal of Poom's sword started getting red, and Poom pulled it back to keep it from being destroyed.
Yuur dene fr..I wll koll yuu the voice again appeared in Poom's head, but this time it was not completely clear. The demon was having trouble. Poom sprung his hand in front of him and a gigantic serpent like creature appeared.
Polygon make: Hydra head
The creature was swimming through the air, aiming at the demon. The demons movements were slow and almost uncoordinated, so the hydra bound around him. Poom slashed at the bound demon, but it still had almost no visible impact on it. In his frustration Poom made hydras self-destruct, burning the demon. The demon and Poom were now having a sword fight, and it could not be determent who was stronger, but Poom was sure that he was losing.
As Poom was fighting Jozuma and Striker used that opportunity to take Haku'na's body away from the demon and check if he was still alive. Raising it so they could both put his hands on their shoulders, they were certain they would save their friend.
As Haku'na was being moved, the demon cried, but this time using his own voice, and not telepathy. Nooauuuiiiooo!
He pushed Poom aside with his left hand and using his right he flung his sword in their direction. As the sword was flying through the air it was spinning and becoming redder and redder, until it burst into flames.
Jozuma and Striker were holding Haku'na in between themselves, and he was gaining consciousness.
Oh it is you guy. I am sorry. I thought I could do it on my own. Haku'na spoke, but just as he finished the sentence the flaming red sword when through his back and chest. A loud scream could be heard, and sounds and smells of burning flesh were filling the room. The crowd of demons went silent, no one was expecting that to happen.
Poom was in shock, one of his guildmates, one of his best friends, had just died in front of him. Poom started screaming and crying. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! but is was all in vein as his friend was dead.
The was a smirk on demons face, that Poom saw, and sorrow and rage filled Poom's body. Poom dropped his sword and could feel his body separating and reforming into polygons. He was in shock and there was no stopping him. As he was becoming polygons he started glowing, a yellow vibrant light. Still screaming and still holding the demon, Poom's voice became muffled.
Jozuma and Striker could feel the intensity of the thing that was happening to Poom, and they saw that the demon was trying to move away from Poom, but it was in vain.
The more Poom glowed the hotter it became until suddenly Poom exploded.
The explosion was followed by silence from the bleachers, and it did not reach Jozuma and Striker, and they were not sure if Poom was still alive. After the dust settled, there was Poom lying on the ground on his back, with the demon opposite of him, with its eyes and rest of the body completely burned.
In only a matter of minutes, Poom was conscious again and was clearly confused.
What happened? Did we win? How is Hak... as he was finishing he remembered all that had happened and there were tears again on his cheeks.
The were none of the demons still on the bleachers, and only Jozuma, Striker and Poom were present in the room that held the trinket they needed to retrieve with Haku'na.
What now? Poom asked, still crying for his lost friend.
