The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Posted :D and sorry, Harper was too busy freaking out, but had someone like Riley been there I'm sure she would have commented on it. It's a good thing for Inadi he's stuck with the quiet, polite people xD and Ace didn't hear him, haha.

No worries, Kei-chan, the current cycle doesn't end till Saturday night, but yeah the quicker we get this done, the quicker we finish the chappy.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Someone grabbed onto him and yanked him out of the pond.

Harper let out a few coughs before taking in a shaky breath of air. The boy fumbled with his slipping glasses then focused on the person who had helped him out. "T-Thanks," he stated through chattering teeth. He soaked to the bone and he had water in his boots as well. "I'm fine," he refused to stand back and watch as his friends dealt with some giant mushroom monster. He ran a hand through his wet hair and caught his breath, the boy had mumbled another thank you, but by the time he had said it, Inadi had run off.

Everything happened so fast and soon a battle cry echoed throughout the cave.

The giant mushroom monster had half a spear sticking out of it's stomach. Had they actually managed to put it down? A smile made its way to the boy's face, but before he could congratulate everyone that mushroom creature simply regenerated. Inadi attempted to shock it with a bolt of electricity, but wound up yelling out in pain, then things took a turn for the worse and Harper was running towards the creature, his hands clenched around his sword's hilt.

More screams filled the room...if he didn't hurry, they'd be witnessing another death.

His amulet began to glow and Harper flung his sword at the creature. It sliced through the air like a Frisbee and caught the creature right above it's knee. The sword sliced through then clattered against one of the many blue Crystals. The mushroom fell to the ground with Inadi but raised both hands to shield its eyes, giving the older boy just enough time to get out of the thing's reach.

"Electricity..." Harper mumbled. "Ace, Inadi, Leila, what if we get it to fall in the pond!" He yelled before dashing towards his fallen sword. The liquid in his amulet had fallen a little below half now. Meanwhile, the fallen mushroom grabbed at a rock with it's clawed hands, its missing leg regenerating as quickly as its hand had.

Harper grabbed his sword's hilt before something grabbed onto his other wrist. The boy was yanked back and flung towards the other side of the chamber. He let out a loud yelp then rolled across the damp floor, skinning a knee and an elbow in the process. The boy screwed his eyes shut, pressed his cheek against the cool mud, and waited for the pain to subside.

"Shhhheeeeeeeeeessssss! Krackkkkkshh!" Several vines swung at the Lost Souls as yellow eyes grew even brighter. The mushroom man decided to pick them off one by one instead and for now, he rushed towards the archer with maddening speed.

Haha, well that's kind of a relief. I thought it was a poor Prinny being burned alive :O

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

D'awww, those last words are cute :3 and what is that thing? Is it a giant bird?

No worries, I don't kill active characters that aren't mine (^w^)/! Haha, I'll have Harper help him out later.

He stared at the dead body by his feet. Ha ha...he killed Don. He had actually strangled Don.

Lucien was laughing hysterically, hoping that everything was just an elaborate, cruel prank. "Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry!" He yelled to the darkness. "I'm sorry I hid a dead bird in your bag," he gestured vividly with his hands, eyes the size of pinpricks. The summoner began rambling on and on as if he had gone mad. "Guys, this prank it's pretty cruel!" He hissed before tugging wildly at his hair and laughing.

He couldn't have killed them. THIS, it had to be an illusion. He would never hurt them!

"I-I've had enough," he was sniffling now. "You can come out now...yeah? C'mon guys...please?"

Suddenly, a door appeared out of nowhere and the doorknob began to shake. Lucien looked up, hopeful, but it wasn't his friends.

"You killed all of them. Now, that was impressive." The lion picked at its teeth with his claws. "You brought me to life."

Its voice was in his head now. "You and I, we did it together. We were a team"

The scenes began replaying inside his head and once more he saw everyone die. He was the summoner, but he couldn't stop the summon. It was HIS fault. The creature grinned from ear to ear and Lucien stared at the floor with blank eyes. "T-They're dead because of me."

"Righty-o, kid!" The Lion swung an arm over the man's shoulder then ruffled Lucien's hair. "We made a great team."

It's all my fault.

"I'll...I'll kill you," Xan's voice quivered with each word.

The wolf shook his head and smirked. "Shame on you, that's against guilder code, silly kid." He unsheathed his own sword and took a step towards her. "Besides, we don't think you're capable!" The other two were laughing their heads off.

Her vision was blurry with tears, but the metallurgist sucked it up and ran towards her opponents on what felt like jelly legs. "Where are the others?" There was the sound of steel against steel and Xan staggered back when the wolf pushed against her own blade with his. She knew how to weild a sword when it was connected to her own arm, but actually holding one in her hand felt different. She didn't know why, but she was out of her element. "Tell me, damn it!"

"You're as threatening as a child!" The wolf sidestepped the girl's strike and slammed the hilt of his blade into her stomach.

She double over, her sword falling to the ground with a clatter.

"Heh, don't tell me you're crying over your silly friends." Xan didn't move, so he gave her a quick kick to the side.

The girl was sent into a coughing fit and she curled up into a ball. She could hear the crowd booing, but nothing in the world made sense. Aria was dead, Estelle was dead, Trixie was dead, and she was as good as dead. She hugged her knees to her chest, Xan didn't even have the will to fight back anymore.

"There's no point in this...we all know the audience wants a show!" The wolf threw his hands back and smiled at the booing crowd. "Oi, announcer guy, just release the scavengers and end this pathetic fight! She's not a guilder, just a pathetic, sniveling kid." Her opponents' voices grew farther and farther away. One of the cages were opened, and angry snarls filled the arena.

Xan closed her eyes, she couldn't save anyone, not even herself. "I'm sorry..."
