27 - Puzzle Maze

The voice that was hosting the event began to speak again. "Congratulations survivors! As you may notice, you are all split up into groups of two. Each contestant will navigate a maze on this floor to get to the center room. Beware of the enemies lurking in the maze. GO!"

The walls open up, revealing the entrance to the maze. Floran sighed and walked through the entrance, not paying attention to Cutecumber.

Cutecumber walked behind Floran slowly. "I'm really sorry. I just wanted to be respected." she said in a quiet voice. "No one cares, shut up." Floran replied harshly. Cutecumber sighed sadly.

Just as they were about to turn a corner, a giant spider jumped in front of them. Without hesitation, Floran manifested an energy sword and sliced it in half.

The spider's blood covered her, and she wiped it off her face before continuing through the maze. Cutecumber was amazed by Floran's speed.

"Hey Floran... I was wrong. I really am weak compared to you guys, so please forgive me." Cutecumber pleaded.

Floran just raised her hand, and a scream of agony was heard.

Cutecumber turned around in fear to see what the sound was. She saw a zombie-like creature that had been stabbed by energy spears, undoubtedly created by Floran.

Cutecumber thought to herself, "How did she know that zombie was behind us without even looking?"

Meanwhile, Mr. Fluffypants was wandering through the maze with The Number 7. "What are the chances we got teamed up together am I right?" Mr. Fluffypants said with a smile. 7 simply hovers through the maze without uttering a sound.

Mr. Fluffpants continued walking with 7, before looking up and smiling brightly. "Woah cool, a death trap!" he yelled. Suddenly, spikes fell from the sky and impaled him.

The Number 7 just continued hovering through the maze without even noticing what had happened. "HEY I JUST DIED! SHOW SOME COMPASSION!" Mr. Fluffypants yelled before removing the spikes from his body and catching up with 7.

Mr. Fluffypants then sighed and said, "I really wish Caleb were here to see how epic these death traps are."

The voice then spoke, "One of the contestants has died!" Cutecumber looked up to where the voice was coming from and shook her head. "I wonder who it was." she mumbled to herself.

Meanwhile Kookakoo was shaking the corpse of Octopus Man. "WHY DID YOU CHOKE ON THOSE BISCUITS!" she yelled.

"Well... it probably wasn't anyone we knew." Cutecumber concluded.

A man suddenly ran past Floran and Cutecumber, pushing them aside. "RUN! THERE'S A MONSTER!" he yelled. They looked back at him as he made it to the other end of the hallway. When he got there, another monster cornered him and ate him in one bite.

"Another contestant has died!" the voice called out. Floran turned back around and continued walking. "Wait, that's where another monster is according to that guy." Cutecumber said nervously.

"So what? There's now a monster behind us too. I'm going to take my chances facing the one that's approaching." Floran replied.

Floran waited for the monster to come around the corner. The floor shook as the monster approached. Cutecumber was trembling in fear.

The monster finally revealed itself to be Refrigerator Guy. Floran and Cutecumber screamed in fear. Even the monster that was behind them started screaming in fear and ran away.

Refrigerator Guy opened its freezer door and pulled out a red snowball. "THAT'S THE LEGENDARY RED FLYING SNOWBALL!" Cutecumber yelled in fear.

Floran and Cutecumber instantly started running back, but Refrigerator Guy threw the red flying snowball at them, causing a massive explosion that shook the entire floor.

"Did you just feel something?" Mr. Fluffypants said to The Number 7, who was still hovering through the maze.

Cutecumber, who was now severely injured, tried to get up. As she lifted herself up, she looked up to see Refrigerator Guy standing over her.

Her trembling hand reached over to Floran, who was also on the ground. "Please... help me." she said, her voice shaking. Floran opened her eyes slowly. "There's nothing we can do." she replied softly.

"WE NEED TO GET HIM TO A HOSPITAL!" A voice yelled. It was Kookakoo holding the corpse of Octopus Man. She was running so fast she ran right through Refrigerator Guy, causing him to explode into pieces.

Cutecumber was shocked. Kookakoo then dropped Octopus Man's body in front of Floran. "You're an angel. Can't you heal him?" Kookakoo asked with tears in her eyes.

Floran got off of the ground and sighed. "I can't revive people, sorry." she replied. Octopus Man then molted out of his old body and stretched. "Wow that was a great nap." he said with a yawn.

Kookakoo smiled. "Yay! Octopus Man is back!" she cheered.

"So, it appears as if we are back together again." Floran said. Octopus Man smiled and said, "Yup, and it's good too. Me and Kookakoo kept running into a door that said 'Center Room' on it. I thought we would be lost forever."

"THE CENTER ROOM?" Floran shouted in disbelief. "That's the win you idiot." she concluded with a facepalm.

"Oooooooooooh." Octopus Man said in realization. He turned to Kookakoo and said, "Come on, let's go." They ran away at the speed of light.

"No, take us with you... oh whatever." Floran said with a sigh. Cutecumber pointed the direction Octopus Man and Kookakoo ran off to. "Well, at least we know it's that way." she said softly.

Floran nodded and they started walking through the maze once again.
