Chapter 6
Jabel was trapped. If he went one way, he would hit the desert, if he went the other way, he would hit the prison. Jabel hopped up into the tallest tree around to scout his trail. Jabel decided to go east, which leads to nothing but more forest, not a prison, not a desert, but more forest. Jabel told him the story of his battle with Rubin while they were hiking the trail. He told him how they both were naked, and how they were battling in a ring of fire. He also told him that he broke a curse on the desert. Jing didn’t seem surprised. Along the way, they had to fight off a couple of bears. They escaped the beasts without one scratch on them.
Jabel and Jing finally had some peace without having to fight off everyone for awhile. But not long after that was when the shadow figure was back, actually there was two. They both were captured by their necks and then they threw something into a nearby bush, then they jumped in with Jing and Jabel in their clutches. They now found themselves somewhere underground. The walls were stone, the ground was dirt, and the only light came from a large fire in the middle of the room. Jing and Jabel found a passage way at the other side of the fire. They headed towards the hallway but they forgot about the shadow figures. They had to fight them off. It wasn’t hard because they had no weapons.
They made their ways down the hallway. What Jabel saw shocked him. In the next room was a very, very, very big room. The room was filled with the shadow figures, who wore black cloaks with their hoods over their heads. Not only that, but along all the walls were cages. The cages had the people of the town. At the end of the room was a big stage. One shadow figure started to speak:
“Two of our men have set off to find the man who killed our great leader, Rubin. And once he has been found, he will be a sacrifice to our great leader But first, so Rubin does not curse us, we shall give him a sacrifice now ”
Two shadow figures took one woman out of one of the cages. They put her on stage and stuck her head against a tree stump, and ready to behead her. Jabel snuck all the way across the room without being seen. As soon as they swung the axe, Jabel ran by and kicked the axe out of the mans grip. Everyone in the room gasped. Someone screamed out: “That’s him The one who killed our lord ” Everyone swarmed after Jabel, but they had no weapons. Jing fought the ones who were closer to him, and the same went for Jabel. The woman went and hid from the action, but this was just getting started.
Jabel started out by getting on the ground and spinning with his sword out. He made many stumble over each other. He jumped on one mas shoulders and walked over everybody one their heads. Some of them fell over. Jabel got on the ground and suck his sword on the ground, face up, it took good balance but he pulled it off. He threw two men onto it and then threw them off the sword with all his strength. The two men fell on top of other men which gave Jabel some time to take the lives of the other followers of Rubin. Jabel jumped and kicked a man in the face, and on the way down, he kicked another man in the face in a back flip. Jabel saw stairs, he went up them as the shadows followed him. They led to a balcony at the top of this room. Jabel threw a bunch of men off and they hit the benches below. But from behind, one man tripped him, Jabel was hanging from the balcony. He was hanging on for his life. Jabel thought that this would be the way he would die. The men started stomping on his fingers. Jabel was starting to let go. Just then, Jing came from behind the followers and snapped most of their neck and slitting their throats. Jing helped Jabel up. There was a big pile of men at the bottom of the room.
“May I?” asked Jabel
“Why not.” Jing replied. Jing bent over, Jabel backed up, then ran and used Jing as a diving board. Jabel plummeted to the bottom, but along the way, he did a front flip into his magic power move. As he got closer to the ground, his glowing red sword hit the pile of men. It was an explosive noise as the men were completely separated to in two, as in one half of their bodies on the opposite side of the room from the other. They were all dead. Jabel and Jing made their way down the stairs to the bottom of the room.
“We did it.” Jabel said
“Yeah, isn’t it nice.” Jing answered
Jing showed Jabel the back of his neck. Jabel was shocked. On the back of his neck was Rubin’s name. Jing took a swing at Jabel with his sword. Jing was also a follower.
