70 - Sound of the Hallway

70 - Sound of the Hallway

A door exploded and The Number 7 hovered out, leaving behind the corpse of a 10-headed beast.

Walking behind him were Mr. Fluffypants, who looked around with a smile, and Rit, who looked as annoyed as ever.

"We are going through this labyrinth with ease." Mr. Fluffypants stated. Rit punched him on the top of the head. "Yeah, only cause your friend is doing all the work!" she retorted.

Mr. Fluffypants rubbed his head in pain. "Ow." he complained.

The Number 7 continued hovering through and blasted through another wall. Behind the wall was a man wearing a mage outfit, holding a wand. "THERE IS NO WAY YOU WILL PASS THIS CHALLENGE!" the mage yelled.

The Number 7 simply hovered through him, causing him to collapse instantly. 7 then exited from the other side by blasting through that wall as well.

Rit followed with a straight face. Mr. Fluffypants walked beside her and said, "You know, you could be thankful. We are helping you."

"We? Only 7 is helping. You're just an idiot who cries at every little thing. You must be completely far gone if you think I should be thankful to you!" Rit snapped back.

Mr. Fluffypants looked down sadly. "You're mean." he said in a sad tone.

Rit pulled on his hair roughly and said, "Oh, I'll show you mean!" Mr. Fluffypants gritted his teeth in pain. "OW! OW! OW! STOP IT PLEASE!" he cried.

Suddenly, a deep groan echoed through the walls of the labyrinth. Rit let go of Mr. Fluffypants and held her sword tightly.

"W...what was that?" Mr. Fluffypants stuttered.

They walked through the hole 7 made and looked around. This room was different as it was a dark hallway.

The Number 7 hovered down the hallway, and Rit and Mr. Fluffypants followed close behind. The deep groan echoed again, and Mr. Fluffypants flinched in fear. Rit sighed and punched his shoulder. "Stop being a crybaby!" she scolded.

"OWWW!" Mr. Fluffypants cried as he held his shoulder in pain.

"You are the worst person to paired up with." Rit mumbled under her breath.

The Number 7 suddenly stopped moving. Rit stopped as well with a confused look. Mr. Fluffypants stopped as well, hiding behind her. It was too dark to see what was in front of 7.

Rit took a step forward, but Mr. Fluffypants grabbed her arm. "No! Let's go the other way. I don't want to see what's there." he said, his voice trembling in fear.

Rit yanked her arm away from him and shouted, "Let go of me you idiot!" Mr. Fluffypants trembled in fear as Rit continued to walk up to 7.

When she got close enough to see, she looked up and a look of shock filled her face. "W...what is it?" Mr. Fluffypants stuttered, but Rit didn't respond.

Mr. Fluffypants gulped in fear and took a few steps forward. He was sweating bullets as he inched closer. When he got close enough, it became visible that what stood before them was a massive creature. Mr. Fluffypants yelped in fear, until he got a better look at the creature.

It was Boomerang, all tied up in leaves and vines. "Hey guys. I'm a little stuck." he said in an innocent tone. "Huh?" Mr. Fluffypants said to himself.

Rit's look of shocked turned into one of anger. She unsheathed her sword and held it in front of her. "No! I remember that thing! He's not bad!" Mr. Fluffypants said, holding her arms so she wouldn't swing her sword.

Rit kicked him in the stomach, causing him to fall back. "If you want to chicken out, go and leave. No skin off my nose!" she yelled angrily. Mr. Fluffypants held his stomach in pain.

Rit attempted to swing her sword and Boomerang started screaming in fear, but suddenly The Number 7 hovered in front of her, as if it was telling her to stop. Her expression turned into one of confusion, and she slowly lowered her sword.

Mr. Fluffypants tried to stand up again and said, "I told you, he's nice."

Rit raised her sword again and jumped over 7. She swung her sword, and the sound of a clean slice was heard.

Mr. Fluffypants' eyes widened in terror. When Rit landed on the ground, all the leaves and vines around Boomerang were sliced in half, and he was free to move.

His massive stature made it hard for him to move in the hallway, but it was better than being trapped. "YAY! THANK YOU!" Boomerang said in a happy tone. Rit, simply sheathed her sword.

"How did you get here?" Mr. Fluffypants asked. "Oh, it's you, the person who ruined the hopes and dreams of my friends." Boomerang said with a smile.

"Uh... yeah..." Mr. Fluffypants said with his head hung in shame. "Well anyway, I got here because while my friends were at a restaurant, I saw a butterfly and started chasing it, and fell into a hole and ended up here." Boomerang answered.

"Me and 7 ended up here by falling into a hole as well." Mr. Fluffypants replied.

"So you also skipped basically all of the fights." Rit said with an angry expression. "What fights?" Boomerang asked.

"You know what, I don't even care. Follow us if you want, but don't talk to me. Dealing with this dumbass is enough strain on my brain as it is." Rit said, while pointing to Mr. Fluffypants.

Boomerang nodded, and The Number 7 continued hovering down the hallway. Rit followed and Mr. Fluffypants looked sad and asked, "Do you always have to be mean?"

"Do you always have to drain the life out of everyone you talk to with your idiocy?" Rit replied harshly.
