A Terrarian's tale: Lost in Wonderland
Meanwhile
Previous ChapterNext ChapterFirst thing she noticed, it was warm, next thing she noticed, it was dark, last thing she noticed, she was chained up. Then she heard, "We cannot seem to get it's armor off, whatever it was made for, it will not come off," the first voice said.
"Then pry it off," the second voice commanded.
"But sir, what if it is part of the creature, that may harm it," the first voice pointed out.
"True," the second voice said, "Wait, it has awoken."
"Oh joy, now I can get answers," the first voice said.
"Don't give it too much info while it is awake," the second voice warned
The door, as she just noticed split in half and opened, one goat like creature walked through while the other walked away. The door closed behind the creature, " Hello, I am Minos, who are you?" The creature sure was tall, and muscular.
"No? Well then," The creature sure did look ugly, she tried to pull free, no luck, "Don't try, not even Discord could break those," Disco what? she hoped it wasn't a disease.
"Anyway, you are in a place called Tartarus, you crashed through the ceiling of this mini world and have caused quite a riot," he stopped and took a small breath, "The usual punishment is vaporization, but you are, unique."
"So, that means that I get the pleasure of finding out what you are, and what you are made of," he stopped and pulled out a small knife, "This will only hurt for the first hour."
Running Nope.avi
She then put a little force into pulling out the metal brace on her arm, breaking it like it was made of paper, she then grabbed Minos by the throat. Through clenched teeth she hissed right into his face, "Point to the exit and you may live."
Minos pointed toward what she thought was a hole in the wall, a distance away, she then dropped him and pulled the rest of the restraints off. She then huffed and began to walk down a long dark corridor, doors were lining the wall on each side, some of them held the sound of muffled screaming, others had laughter. She hadn't made it three feet from her end room when an alarm went off, she turned and saw Minos, pressing a button and smirking at her, many of the rooms around her began to open, more creatures walked out and surrounded her.
"That creature is new, we do not even know what to call it, I want it back alive," Minos ordered from the room, She really hated that dude. All the creatures pounced on her and attempted to restrain her arms and legs, not happening, as she pushed some into the wall, or knocked them over she felt an odd thing clamp around her neck, she then felt a zap as she held a creature down.
She began to feel light headed, not today, she grabbed the collar and ripped it off, she then crushed it and jabbed a creature in the face with it. Before any others could lay a hand on their new experiment it pulled out a glowing sword and began to cut a path towards the door, many Minotaur fell over, missing something, from arm to legs, to missing their heads.
She rushed through the hallway and was coming up on the door, she lifted her sword to cut it open....and......
============================================================
Marcus, Pinkie, Luna, and Lyra were all spread around Plantera and attacking with all their might, it had some effect, but not doing much otherwise. Plantera had it's vines clamped to the towers and buildings surrounding the battle ground, it growled and shot more stingers out at Pinkie, easily dodged.
"We need some kind of plan!" Marcus yelled over the shooting him and Pinkie were doing.
"Like what?!" Pinkie yelled back.
"We need to find some way to crush Plantera!" The monster turned to Marcus at the mention of it's name, "Oops."
Marcus jumped up and began to run away as Plantera chased him. Pinkie and Lyra both ran right up after it while still assaulting it, Luna however hung back and began to devise a plan, this creature was a major threat if not dealt with swiftly, but how? Her gaze wandered the ruined crossway they began the battle in, her attention shifted to the tall tower near the outer wall, it was missing most of it's support, perfect.
Back with Marcus things were suckish, he was being chased by a killer plant, he was running low on health potions, and he ran out of bullets, so life was just wonderful. But Pinkie and Lyra were hammering away at it's health, he turned and examined it, nearly half health, not good. He jumped up and flew over Plantera, Marcus then turned, flew up and ran the other way, Pinkie and Lyra began to run, they were all headed toward the battle ground again.
As soon as the three others ran out of the center Luna yelled, "NOW!!!" From behind the tower a single person started to push and lift the tower over the center, right as Plantera crossed into it, and SMASH!
Plantera was hit by the tower and was plunged through the floor of the kingdom, all of it's vines pulling out bricks and tiles as it fell, roaring in agony.
Marcus checked his messages for any sign of victory, nothing, then he heard a roar from below, vines began to shoot up and hook onto the buildings, up came a pissed plant, it looked like a flower with carnivorous vines flying everywhere, phase two.
===========================================
She woke up again, this time with restraints covering most of her body, she pulled, nothing happened, she pulled harder, again nothing, she attempted to call her sword, nothing happened, she then knew what she was held in, Chlrophyte.
"Don't bother trying to escape," A disembodied voice advised, " I made sure you were properly held, after all, what other material could hold the great Terrarian Triforce?"
They knew her title, but how? she decided not to answer, "Come now, not even a threat?" The voice said, starting to sound familiar, "I thought I knew you better than that." Ok WHO was this?
"Don't stew too much dear," A darkened shadow dropped from the ceiling and decloaked, "As long as I'm here, you'll be staying here, safe."
That explains it, another Terrarian, and a Merc at that, Shirno Yavi', or 'Silent', he was an Assassin for hire back home, guess he still is. Him and her had somewhat of a close past, and not one that was too pleasant either, they were old enemies, and close siblings. "So how much are they paying you?" She asked, "Fifty gold?"
"Thirty Platinum at least," He somewhat boasted, "Second best paycheck so far."
"All that to keep me here?" She feigned shock, "I'm Flattered!"
The door opened and Minos entered, he took a glance at Silent and turned back to his project, she was staring at him and keeping quiet.
"You were quite the trouble earlier," Minos had a smug ring to his tone, "But that changes not what we have planned for you, prepare yourself."
Shirno turned to leave, "No no, you will not be leaving i'm afraid," Minos said, "You see, we heard what you had said to her, you had us fooled, thinking you were a Khajiit mercenary, but now we know what you really are, Terrarian."
"Let me guess, you want to strap me to a table and rip me apart like her," He pointed to her.
"Yes, and you will not be getting that last paycheck we promised," Minos laughed a little, bad move.
"Ah I see," Shirno calmly reponded, too calm, "But there is a problem."
"And what would that be?" Minos snorted.
"You assume I will just lie down and die," Shirno smashed a control panel near him and the restraints holding her began to release, time to go.
She pulled free as the restraints lifted, she then pulled out and old Excalibur sword she didn't need and pinned Minos to the wall with it, right through the throat.
"Thanks," she said.
"Yeah yeah later," He replied, "Now come on Leana kir!"
They ran and fought their way to the exit, they were going to see the light again, and they would finally be free.
