Synan and Zoe continue falling into the
endless expanse. Somebody catches them and
brings them into one of the rooms. Synan and
Zoe look at their rescuer, and arent too
delighted with what they see--a dead person.
Synan and Zoe scream and almost fall
back down the tunnel, but the thing pulls them
back. It is wearing dark purple, torn up clothes.
Its arms look like a dead persons. Under its
hood in the darkness glows two red eyes. It
is holding a dimly lit lantern.
“H-h-hi...” Synan says, frightened of
the thing.
“Hello, I am Unamed. I have been dead
here now for fifty seven years, fourteen months,
and twenty-two days. Oh, and as of right...now,
three hours, forty-six minutes and thirty seconds.”
Zoe and Synan have a look of dread on
their faces.
“So anyway, did Melissa send you?”
“Melissa? Whos that?” Synan asks.
“Duh! Shes the book writer from
The Land of No Return!”
“Uhh, I believe that would be Sarah.” Zoe
says.
“Oh, thats right. Melissa was the book
writer from the good old golden days. Why when
I was your age...”
“Please. We dont need another old timer
story. Just guide us to the other side.” Zoe says.
“No, no, no. You have to hear my story.”
Synan and Zoe have an evil look in their
faces.
“I had to walk twenty miles to school
through ten feet of snow up hill both ways.”
“Yes, yes, yes. We heard ALL the stories
of the ancient Aztecs.”
“Fine. Be rude. You can find your own
way to the other side.”
“No! We were just kidding!” Zoe says.
“Oh, alright. Ill get you to the other side.”
“Yea!”
Unamed guides them through millions of
winding tunnels.
“Where are all those squid things at?” Zoe
asks.
“Squids? Oh, I know what youre talking
about. Well, Ive been here a number of times. I
know their normal patrolling pattern. You shouldnt
have to worry about them.”
“Okay, good.”
They continue down more tunnels. The
guide turns them down one tunnel and a large squid
monster is there to greet them.
“Uh-oh.” Synan says.
“Let me fight this thing!!” Zoe throws an ideya
marble.
“No, dont!” The guide yells.
Clawz appears out of the marble and does
a flame-thrower attack on the beast.
“What?” Zoe says.
“In each one of those tails is a powerful poison.
The poison contains every single disease and virus known
to your dimension and Jackals dimension!”
“Jackals?” Synan asks.
“Yes. The other dimension has been taken over
by Jackal.”
Synan is silent.
“Who is Jackal?” Zoe asks.
“I dont know. Hes more powerful than the monster
you know as Deity.”
“Really?!” Synan says.
“Yes. This squid here is more powerful than Deity.
This squid has a power level of 9,999,999.”
“Wow!” Zoe says.
“Its elemental types are, from main power to least
power, Water, Psychic, Earth, and Fire.”
“Wicked!” Synan says.
“So, anyway. I dont think this thing here is going
to kill us. Lets move on.”
As Unamed is about to move, the squid whips
a tail forward and pierces him. The other five tails follow.
Zoe covers her eyes. One tail stops and stabs
Clawz. After Unamed is assumedly dead, the monster
stabs Clawz over and over.
Clawz drops to the ground, lifeless. Zoe opens her
eyes.
“Noooooo!!!!!!!”
The squid seems quite satisfied and moves on.
Unamed gets back up. Clawz slips down into
the spinning tunnel in the floor. Zoe watches in
horror as her first monster ever plummets deeper
and deeper in this eternal abyss.
Zoe turns to Synan and mourns for the
dead Clawz. Unamed looks down the spinning
tunnel at the lifeless corpse of Clawz.
“We have to go, Synan and Zoe.” Unamed
says.
“Okay.” Synan answers. “Zoe?”
Zoe is asleep.
“Alright, Zoe. I figured out when Elsie was
faking it. Its not going to work for you!”
“Synan... she really is asleep.”
Synan sighs. Unamed begins walking. Synan
ends up carrying Zoe like he did Elsie in Illusion
Cave.
“The portal to the other side should be right
ahead.” Unamed says.
