To the Dark Depths of...

[demonfire]

((I think of crazy stuff watching Comedy Central, XD. It's my...SUPAH SNAKE!))

The large serpent's eye exploded, only to be replaced with another one. Velox's bites completely bit through the beast, separating it in two, only, just like a starfish, the two pieces each grew back to form two new of the beasts. One of the beasts spit an acidic goo onto Velox, it was a good thing for the snakes natural selection gave them the skill to null any learned, special traits of something. The other beast began to quickly slither towards Volgana, fangs glaring and ready to bite off his arm that held the gun.

Brandon ran off somewhere in the dark depths, only to return a moment later, sitting back and hearing the battle, he couldn't see a thing and wondered how the others could. The snakes saw the other two as more of a threat, considering that he wasn't attacking them.

[Velox Sicarius]

Velox was getting very angered by these snakes. He slithered to the side just in time to dodge the acid and then he turned into the biggest anaconda he could muster, a forty five foot anaconda. He lunged his head at the snake attacking him with jaws wide open in an attempt to swallow the snake whole.

Volgana heard the rushing noise behind him. His gun was strapped to his back and he drew his blade as the on coming snake gave chase. He turned and stopped holding out his sword like a sheild. The snake collided with the sword and the two were thrown back against the walls. Volgana sprung to his feet and whispered a few magic words. His hands were moving at unthinkable speeds as the blade on his sword started to glow ping. The steel disolved into the air, turning into petals. The petals gathered around the snake, slowly swirling. One of the petals touched the wall and a long slash appeared where the petal touched. The tornado of petals seemed to move faster engulfing the snake in a swirling cloud of death, slicing it into pieces.

[demonfire]

Slicing the snake to pieces was a bad idea, very bad indeed. Each of the tiny shards of its body soon grew, and now 50 of the snakes stood in its place. The snake going towards Velox was swallowed up, however unlike most foods, the acidic digestion process of the non-plant, multi-cellular organisms seemed to have no effect on the beast, and so it began to squirm around inside him, hopefully Velox would regurgitate it.

"Fireplace Goblins! If this is what I think it is, then you should work perfectly! FIRE!" Brandon yelled, and the Fireplace Goblins fired blasts of fire at the strange snakes, incinerating them to charred husks. The large group of snakes vanished in a pile of ash, and then Brandon ran up to Velox's belly. "CHUCK!" he yelled, furiously slamming against Velox's underside, "IT'S BRANDON! NO NEED TO KILL US!" The squirming stopped for a moment, now that the snake could think, and it wiggled its way out of Velox, and landed on the ground covered in stomach acid. The snake seemingly shrunk down to the size of a garden snake and slithered away, its ruby eyes cutting into the darkness as it did. "That was Chuck, he was my pet snake until I had to go to the bathroom, about ten years ago. Anywho, moving on!" he said, going farther into the darkness.

Volgana was shocked as Brandon talked to the snake. He didn't know what to think of this. This entire area was strange to him. "Okay brandon, what the heck is up with this place.

(Sorry, im really distracted and can't type more)

[demonfire]

"What do you mean? Isn't this how you guys get to the bathroom?" came Brandon's voice echoing down the cavern. Back up towards Brandon, a dead-end blocked his path, so he doubled back, towards back Volgana and ran through the passage there. In front of him was a strange statue. It had one large arm protruding from its chest and a jackal head, along with webbed feet, and a long, bone tail. The lips moved for a second, releasing dust and the like, before it said something, "Pass by answering this riddle correctly. You have 5 apples. If you take two away, how many do you have?" the statue asked, with its tail whipping back and forth behind it. The entrance behind it came down as soon as everyone got in, making sure that there was no escape.

[Velox Sicarius]

Velox followed brandon without answering his question. When he heard the riddle, he just shook his head and sat down on the floor. "If this riddle is as crazy as everything else here, then I highly doubt that the answer is 3..." He said as he felt like he was almost to the point of going crazy himself.

[Cherry Blossom Fan]

Volgana smiled. "Hey guys, I know this one. The anwser is a broken statue unless you let us go. Volgana said drawing his sword. "Ain't no damn statue gonna keep me from going to the bathroom." He said. He was pissed now and he was ready to cut this thing down.

[demonfire]

"I don't take kindly from threats," the statue said. It came off its pedestal and prepared itself, its bony tail turning into a large, sharp spear and the statue ripped it off. The large arm in its chest swung it around madly, and the jackal beast used its powerful legs to jump around powerfully, even for a hunk of rock. It attempted to jump on top of Volgana, and hold its spear right on his neck.

"WAIT! It's five! You take two apples from yourself, so there is no loss!" Brandon quickly said, saving Volgana from a haircut, too close to the skull.

"Very well," the jackal said, getting off of Volgana, and returning to his pedestal. "Proceed," it said, as the wall behind it rose, giving in to more darkness.

[Cherry Blossom Fan]

Volgana's eyes turned a bright white as the statue pounced, his skin crackling with energy. His sword was glowing a bright pink and blossom petals were flowing from his clothes as Brandon hollered the anwser. The statue went back to its base as Volgana's hands eased on his sword hilt. He walked out of the two small holes his feet had made when his body had been perking with energy. "I will cut you down next time. "Volgana whispered as they walked by.

[demonfire]

"Yes, you probably might, but then you would take my eternal curse and guard the labyrinth until someone kills you," the statue said, loud enough for everyone else to hear.

Farther down the soft foot steps of some kind of creature were heard, however, they weren't coming in pairs of twos, rather some other multiple of said number. A soft struggling noise was also heard, along with the soft hissing of new webs being spun.

[Cherry Blossom Fan]

Volgana's eyes flashed as he gazed into the darkness, He saw webs hanging from the walls as he took a step back. He decided not to try and slice his way through the webs cause that might end bad. "Hey guys, we have a problem. Brandon, tell me that this is another of your lost pets doing this."

[demonfire]

From the darkness, a small, spider-like creature, about 2 feet from back to front, scurried out. It was completely spongy in appearance, and texture, along with being pure yellow and has holes in it as if it were swiss cheese. The little creature scurried up Velox's arm and up to his head, and simply sat there as the group continued down into the cavern. The farther down the group got, the louder the noises were, however, those noises weren't like the little spider that had just climbed atop Velox's head, they sounded more, evil.

"I didn't have any pet spiders," Brandon said to Volgana. Ignorant of the little sponge spider that just climbed atop Velox.

[Cherry Blossom Fan]

"Do you know anything about the spiders around here." Volgana said as he drew his sword. He wasn't sure what to do at the moment if anything attacked. If it was like the snake then it would just mulitiply.

[Velox Sicarius]

Velox eyes widened as the strange sponge spider crawled ontop of his head. He continued walking nervously, wondering why it was still up there. He decided not to attack it since it was not attacking him, bit it was creeping him out. "Hey, whats up with this spider on my head?...."
