Chapter 19: The twins part 1
It had been almost five days since [Name] had completed his tasks for Zero. Ryuko had already gotten Seketsu back. She was currently sleeping and having a rather pleasant dream. She of course was woken up by all the noise of the household. She looked over to her phone seeing that it was blinking.
When she picked it up she saw that she had a new voicemail from [Name]. She smiled and played it.
"Hey Ryuko-chan I hope you get this. I miss you and look forward to seeing you again. Speaking of which all that's left for me to do is get the twins and head back. Apparently they moved into a cave and just kind of made it their home. They probably expanded it though. Short and a bit annoying but they are productive and resourceful little bastards I'll give them that much. Anyway If everything goes as planned I should be back within a week. I hope you don't plan on doing anything reckless While I'm gone. Anyway I got to go Zero's trying to explain something to me. Alright bye I love you." And with that said it came to an end.
Ryuko gained a somewhat pained look on her face she was planning on doing something reckless her Satsuki were going to attack Ragyo today. She of course couldn't tell [Name] this he it might make him mess up as well as make him come home. After all Hideo apparently wanted to avoid Ragyo as much as possible when he was alive and he must have had his reasons as to why. [Name] knew this and in turn also tried to avoid her.
She let out a sigh and got up when she did only one thought passed through her mind. 'I wounder what [Name] is doing?'
With [Name] and Zero
They were currently at the enterance of the cave. [Name] was holding a piece of paper in front of his face looking over it. "Are you sure this is right?" [Name] asked looking at his friend.
"Look [Name] you've already asked that three times I'm repeating myself again." Zero stated absent mindedly fiddling with his hat.
"Yeah I know but this is saying that we have to go into this stupid cave for about half a mile past the giant spider nests. Play some stupid puzzle they made. Just to unlock the passage that leads down into the lower part of the cave that they made. Which is like a mile long stretch full of your experiments and booby-traps before we even get to the door that leads to their room which again is full of huge fucking spiders." [Name] said looking at the map is disbelief.
"Look I just gave you the map I did not build the fucking place." Zero said looking at [Name] a little agitated.
"Yeah I know but according to this their is also a secret door that leads straight to their room That's right around here somewhere there has to be some way to open it." [Name] said then all of a sudden over a speaker the twins had placed a voice was heard.
"Would you two shut the hell up we're trying to sleep." A voice said a with a massive amount of agitation.
[Name] recognized this voice and yelled out. "Hey Xerxes. How have you been?"
"Is that you [Name]?" A different voice asked this time.
"Xenophanes How have you been holding up?" [Name] asked.
"Well you know about the same we've been breeding those genetic spiders Zero told us to get rid of. Makes our cave a bit more impressive don't you think?" The male said looking at him.
"Yeah this sure is one impressive home you two have made. Now can you open up? I got to talk to you." [Name] said looking at the speaker.
Silence filled the room for a second before a response finally came. "No."
"What?" [Name] asked in disbelief.
"You two have to go the long way." Xerxes stated.
"I really don't think that'd be in your best interest." Zero said looking at the speaker.
"Why not?" Xenophanes asked.
"He isn't in a playing mood today. It wouldn't be wise for your health to cross [Name] today." Zero stated.
"Oh well to bad you still have to go the long way." The two stated simultaneously.
"Come on we used to be partners in crime I'm sure if look deep down in your heart you'll find tha-" [Name] began
"The answers still no." The two stated almost as if they were bored with the conversation.
"Look I wasn't going to hurt you but I swear to god if you make me go the long way around I'm going to steal your fucking souls." [Name] said with nothing but pure venom in his words.
"Yeah well we'd like to see you try so bring it BITCH!" The two said as the speaker exploded officially eliminating any form of contact that [Name] and Zero had with the two.
"Are you going to make good on your threat because I'm pretty sure the soul is an abstract idea and can't be stolen or even touched for that matter." Zero said looking at the male.
"Well guess I'm going to try and find out." [Name] said looking at the male who was lazily spinning his hat on his pointer finger.
"You know I don't get why you are having such a problem with this. You and them used to sneak by traps and security defenses all the time. Plus I've seen you run more than two miles this shouldn't be that big of a deal." Zero said looking at him.
"Yes the only problem I have with this is that this cave isn't filled with regular traps and security measures. It's filled with their traps and your stupid mutant spiders that they were supposed to have killed not kept and breed for their own purpose." [Name] said as he trudged throw the hall.
"Really you make it sound as if this is going to be difficult. We have a make that labels where their traps are and you've dealt with my spiders before so no big deal." Zero stated as he heard crawling behind him.
"Yes the only difference is that I only had to face one of you damn spiders at a time not several and I didn't have to do that while trying to avoid all of the twins booby-traps and now throw in the fact I have to protect you as well and their no way they aren't going to be sorry for what they just did." [Name] stated as he walked down the hall.
"You act as if they are purposely trying to kill us. I'm sure theirs no way-" Began and as he did he stepped on a tile that sunk into the ground slightly as well as a *CLICK* behind it.
Zero stopped and looked at the ground and saw this. [Name]s Eye's widened as he saw what Zero had stepped on. He knew this trick the Twins had him run a few trails on it. Zero was about to move until [Name] interfered. "WAIT! Zero What ever you do don't move you foot from that tile." [Name] said looking at him.
"Why?" Zero questioned.
"Look up." [Name] stated and Zero paled at what he saw their where several hole in the roof releasing gas and I wasn't just above him but it would seem as if where they had come from was covered in these holes as well as some distance in front of them.
Zero took a moment to examine what the twins had done then it hit him. If the holes where releasing gas then the moment that he removed his foot it would set off a spark somewhere and the entire hall way would be lit into flames. They had literally just made a huge bomb that was waiting to go off.
"Alright Zero I got a plan get ready to jump." [Name] said as back up a little bit. Zero nodded and watching for any sudden movement that could give away what [Name] was planning to do. He then started to jog towards him. Zero then knew what he was implying [Name] would jog until he got to a certain distance then he would jump on his back and [Name] would use his speed to dart down the halls.
Just like Zero had thought he waited and jumped on [Name]s back when he was a little further past him and then [Name] darted down the hall of course he couldn't go his full speed with someone on his back if he removed his ring he would be able to carry zero with little to no effort but if he did he would lose the ability to access his incredible speed.
Zero looked behind him and saw that the flames weren't really much of a threat. Even with Zero on his back [Name] was still capable of easily breaking the sound barrier. [Name] didn't slow down that was until he reached the end of the holes and saw that be hind him was a complete wall of fire and flames.
"Be more carful Zero We're probably going to run into more traps like that as we get deeper and deeper into the cave." [Name] said looking at the slightly shorter male.
"They got more traps like that down here?" Zero questioned.
"Yeah and all that other stuff I mentioned earlier." [Name] said looking at him.
"Well then this may be more difficult than I originally anticipated." Zero stated as he walked forward and this time stepped on a wire. [Name] looked at the wire and tilted his head to the side. "I'm going to be honest that one's new to me." [Name] said as he looked at the wire.
It didn't seem like much but everything that Xerxes and Xenophanes it did something else as seen in their previous trap. Then the two males heard some rumbling and [Name] looked behind Zero to see a giant bolder rolling towards them. The two instinctively started to run.
They ran for almost a quarter of a mile and then saw to pillars Zero how ever noticed that on top of those pillars their were several rocks ready to fall. Zero saw what they were doing and he didn't like it. As the two raced past the two large pillars the boulder hit and the rocks that were on top came tumbling down as well as the pillars.
They had just trapped them inside of their so called home. Zero turned around and looked for a way to possibly remove the rocks. As he did so he heard [Name] let out a sigh of frustration as he also stated. "This is going to be a long day."
Zero then turned around saying "What makes you say-" he was immediately silenced as he saw several of his experimental spider crawling down the wall. He grew pale and let out a sigh.
Zero then put on his hat and [Name] put on his gloves and the two said the same thing simultaneously. "Active stage 2" the gloves on [Name]s hands expanded into their gantlet forms and the hat on Zeros he expanded into a helmet.
"You think you can keep up?" [Name] asked.
"I may not be as strong as you but I can definitely out think these things after all I created them." Zero said looking at him.
"Right well then I guess we better get started." [Name] stated.
"Agreed." Was Zero's reply and the two rush forward at the mob of spiders in front of them.
