Chapter 6
"AHHHH!" Someone shouts above me. Sonic drops from a roof panel and lands on his furry butt.
"Hi Rhion! Man talk about a-" He stops himself when he sees Tails. "Tails!" He runs over to check his friend's pulse. "W-what happened?"
"I came in here and he was like this," I explain, "I patched him up the best I could, but he-"
"If you say he's not going to make it, then I will spin attack you to last year! He's strong. He will make it!" I don't argue with him on that. Wonder how the others are...
Asriel
Asriel is shivering against a wall in some kind of maze.
"R-Rhion! Where are you?" He yells for the fifth time since he got here. Again, to no avail. He sniffles.
"Sheesh, you really are a crybaby," a voice answers. Asriel screams.
"W-w-who said that?" He asks startled by the voice. A red glowing light appears in front of him. A child who looks strangely similar to Rhion appears. They have brown bobbed hair, red eyes, a green and yellow striped sweater, and brown pants.
"Greetings," they say, "I am Chara. The child who comes when people calls its name."
"Umm, hi. Have you been following me around?"
"Yes. I don't know why, but I woke up when you came into this house. I've been following you since."
"Can I ask a kinda personal question?" They look confused, but nods. "Are you a girl or boy? Cause I really can't tell with your voice and cloths."
"It's really my decision. And thanks for asking before you assumed. Now, are you just going to sit there and cry until someone comes? Because no one is coming. Except for the monsters."
"Alright, I fell a tad better with someone following me. Even if it's a ghost." Chara nodded and began to walk with Asriel.
"How old are you?" Asriel asked.
"Ten, like yourself."
"Did you die in here or something?" They fidgeted uncontrollably.
"I did, a very long time ago. Even before everyone else came"
"How?" Chara shushed him.
"Listen." Footsteps could just be heard coming this way. "Run." The duo began to run as quietly as possible.
"What if the amulet is that way?" Asriel whispers.
"It's not. Now keep running." A invisible wall stoped them from going any further.
"What happened?" Chara pointed behind them. A hedgehog turned the corner. Black fur with streaks of red in his quills and red eyes, he reminded Asriel of Sonic.
"Umm, hi."
"I'm not here for formalities goat." His voice was dark and kinda edgy. "Now hold still." A spear appeared in his hand and he threw it at Asriel. Chara shielded him from the blow.
"Run!" Chara shouted at Asriel. He didn't wait for the newcomer to recover. He ran as fast as he could.
"Get back here!" Asriel ran into a round room. He could see an amulet on a pedestal.
"This seems too easy," he commented.
"No dip Sherlock." They hear the hedgehog coming and Asriel quickly grabs the amulet before running out of the room. He hides behind a wall to see the guy run in. Several passages open up. The guy curses before running into one.
"Well, that's rude," Asriel comments again. Chara laughs. They take a better look at the amulet. It looked like a badge with several triangles inside it. A strange symbol was at the top.
"I know this symbol."
"You do?" Chara asks.
"Rhion says it's called the Delta Ruin. It's our family symbol."
"Hmm..."
"What?"
"Nothing, let's keep going." They continued forward into a room with a door. It was the same shape as the amulet.
"This was far to easy," Chara mutters.
"I can make it harder for you," a voice interrupts. The black hedgehog is behind them. Quickly, Asriel places the amulet in. The door opens behind them and he falls in.
Rhion
A door to the right of us opens. Asriel falls in again, on his fury butt.
"Azzy!" I yell and run over to him. We bear hug each other.
"Are you okay?"
"Yea, I'm fine," he answers, "I mean, besides being chased by a dark version of Sonic."
"Wait hold on," Sonic intervenes, "a dark version of me?" Asriel nods. "He tried to kill you didn't he?" Again, Asriel nods. "Shadow. I told him to stay away from you two!"
"Clearly, he didn't listen," I say angrily.
"How'd you evade him?" Rosalina asks. She came in through a floorboard a little bit earlier.
"I had help. Umm, can you see someone behind me." We shook our heads. "Hmm, maybe only I can see them. Basically, a ghost helped me."
"Oookay then."
"Where are the others?"
"Still doing their trials. At least, that's what I hope."
Midna
"Gah!" Midna yells as another shadow ball hits her. A man walks towards her threateningly. Tall with a silver helmet on covering his face, dark cloths with a chest plate and green marking similar to the one on her.
"Give up Midna," he says, his voice cold as steel, "you know you cannot defy your own king."
" You've hurt us too much. All of us! I'll never give in to you Zant!"
"Hmph, persistent. I'll make you give in if it's the last thing I do!" He launches another shadow ball. Midna manages to dodge it. She holds the amulet close to her heart. It was shaped similar to her helmet. She ran desperately trying to run from the man who had hurt her countless times since she became apart of her friends world. Zant was quick, but Sonic had been training her for a while now. She made a sharp turn so fast, Zant would have to slow down to go around. She looked around for any sign if a door but to no avail. She was suddenly lifted in the air and pulled close to Zant.
"You forget Midna," he whispers in her ear threateningly, " my master controls this place. The door isn't appearing any time soon. You're trapped with me."
"N-no!" She didn't finish as Zant knocked her out.
Rhion
A ringing like noice went off in the room shortly after Zelda got back.
"Congratulations Players, all of you have completed your trials," the mysterious voice comes through, "you have cleared the 29th floor and now may leave."
"That can't be right," Tails, freshly woken up, answers, "Midna isn't here yet." The white light comes back.
"No wait!"
I wake up in my own bed. Thank goodness it's the weekend. Asriel runs into my room.
"We have to go back! Midna is still trapped in there."
"I agree little bro, but what if she didn't come because she already completed it?"
"No, I have this feeling she didn't."
"Then why did we get released?" He was silent. "Let's see if she shows up at school Monday."
"It might be too late then, we have to find her now!" I sigh.
"Alright, we'll go to her house. Did she ever give you an address?"
"No, she said she didn't have a home."
"Let's talk it over with the others."
Heya! Nice long chapter for you guys! Thanks for reading!
