Chapter 7

Ocean's POV

"What?" someone screeched. I was shocked. I remembered Lavender telling me a bit about Team Crafted, and that they believed that squids are annoying. But now, they are siding with the really evil squids.

Derpolollus was smirking with triumph. "Nothing will save you now! Any last words before your inevitable deaths?"

I was scared out my my wits. I prepared myself for the attack that will knock the daylights out of me.

"No, you stupid flying squid!" Snapper yelled. Derpolollus laughed. "Defiance? Well try then."

Before anyone could stop Snapper, he jumped at the mutant squid with a sword. "Snapper! Stop!" the commander-in-charge  shouted.

He obviously ignored the commander and stabbed Derpolollus. "That hurts," he said sarcastically before throwing Snapper to the ground.

Derpolollus flew around eagerly. "You admire Sky a lot, right? Then before you die, remember who killed you." Snapper was about to retort but a rough push by a possessed Sky slienced him.

"Kill him," Derpolollus commanded, with a grin. 'Sky' walked toward Snapper and stabbed him without hesitation.

"No way..." Snapper whispered as the light fadded out of his eyes. The recruits watched in stunned slience as they saw the person who they admired, that got possessed, killed a fellow recruit.

"That silly recruit never saw that coming," Derpolollus laughed. I felt my blood boil with rage. Whatever Snapper did to me, he doesn't deserve this.

"So," the mutant squid was saying. "Do you wish to surrender and die later, or die now." The commander rose to his full height and said, "We would rather die!"

"Ocean, hide behind a pillar, quick!" Frost whispered urgently to me. I did as she told. The second I hid behind the pillar, Derpolollus launched out an enormous explosive squid.

The explosion was so bad that it just destroyed the terrian and the entire base. All of the recruits were unconscious, some not moving at all.

I frantically looked for Frost and luckily she seemed alright. "I found out how to get you home," Frost said to me.

"How?" I asked eagerly. "We need to defeat Derpolollus," she replied calmly. "But first, we need to knock the possessed Team Crafted back to their senses."

I sighed. It seemed like there was no end to all this. "How do we do all that?" I wondered. "I have been researching about this particular world. What we need is some sort of reversing potion," she explained.

She gestured me to follow her. The explosion had reached a lake so I am able to swim more freely. "In every base, they would hide important stuff underground. In this case, the potions," Frost said.

She moved a few big pieces of broken stone and it revealed a trapdoor.

Frost came out with a strangly coloured splash potion. "Find somewhere to hide. Quickly!" she hissed.

I flinched at her changed voice but I hid myself quickly.

Frost's POV

I gulped. I actually have no idea whether the potion is the correct one or not. I closed my eyes in focus and climbed up a hill.

I yelled at them to catch their attention. Derpolollus snorted at me and said, "Get her!" They charged at me as I ran seemingly towards them.

I focused my attention on a stony raised platform thingy and drank a potion of leaping 2. I climbed up the mini hill and jumped over their heads. As I soared pass them, I splashed the potion on them.

I landed with a soft thud and saw that they have all fainted. Behind me, Derpolollus was very angry.

Ocean's POV

I silently cheered when Frost managed to splash the potion on them. Whether the potion worked or not is a different story. Derpolollus looked furious.

"You pesky human!" he roared, firing an explosive squid at Frost. She dodged out of the way quickly and drank a grayish potion.

"Where did you go coward?" he growled, looking around. He growled in pain and I saw a glimpse of a familiar diamond sword. The potion is an invisibility potion, I thought. Smart.

By now, Derpolollus was more than angry. "Enough of games! It is time for this world to face my ultimate power! Everyone will bow down to me!"

His body suddenly had a blueish aura around him and his eyes became firey red.

When he spoke, he sounded different. "It is time for true revenge!"

The invisibility potion wore off for Frost and I heard her gasp in shock. I could almost tell what she was thinking. What have we done?
