Revan had gotten himself lost in a shaking crumbling labyrinth where the stone walls continued to collapse in on him and his paths. He saw darklings charging down hallways in complete terror. Clutching his abdomen where a deep cut in his armour had been revealed and having his sword sheathed he pushed forward at a slow yet steady pace. The sound of machine legs on the stone floor once more caught his attention as he glanced back at his stalking foe. Three pointed legs tapped along the ground, the skeleton inside the glass seemed to be watching him despite its lack of eyes. Whatever this thing was it seemed to care little about the earth quaking beneath its legs or the old stone supports coming down around them.
He turned back believing himself able to easily move faster than this enemy, after a few beginning steps he was moving in the direction he hoped would be an easy exit. Two darklings burst from the shadows with clear expressions of desperation as they threw themselves in his direction. Blocking the first blow he spun around piercing the creature from behind. To his surprise the other darkling attempted to retreat in the direction of the mechanised horror but was quickly grabbed by its long outstretched claws and mercilessly torn apart as a wash of corrupted blood poured over the machine dripping down over the glass case staining it red and black shielding his vision from the pile of human bones inside.
With a new found burst of energy from now desperately running for his life had him desperately searching for any possible means of escaping the castle. A large stained glass window leading outside in an elegant living room filled with chairs and tables. A small statue of Doctor Psyche stood on a small wooden table staring at him with a merciless grin but it was nothing compared to the giant snickering stained glass picture of the doctor looking down at him as he stomped over the most beautiful rug he had seen in ages with flowers and grass now ruined forever.
Picking up a small wooden chair he desperately swung it at the glass, the glass was too thick and unaffected by the simple blow.
glancing up he found a large and majestic candled chandelier which gave him an interesting idea for escape until he looked around to see the ever oncoming phantom machine still with claws ever reaching for him.
Revan jumped onto the lounge and lunged at the chandelier, his blow caused it to fall halfway to the ground before he tugged it back waiting as the creature approached. The chandelier was now good for a swing but his plan was not yet ready as moved across the room toward the glass window waiting for the creature to approach him closer.
The creature swung at him with a claw and though he blocked it the other three arms were tougher to avoid and one scatched him across the back as he pushed past. Sword secured, he grabbed the chandelier with all his strength he had left and pulled it back toward the rooms exit before he charged the creature lifting himself up and his legs forward his boots struck the creature in the glass as it and his own body went arcing into the stained glass window shattering the picturesque image of the doctor into a thousand pieces as he and the machine tumbled from the castle window.
As the machine hit the ground below its glass case smashed open and the skeletal remains tumbled out onto the grass as the machin now lay in defeat. Revan landed as well as he could on the grass as his vision blurred and the sound of the castles rumbling collapse began to fade.
“Revan are you okay!” Came a voice that sounded familiar to him.
“You look banged up pretty bad.” Came another.
Before he could protest he was being lifted up and shaken as his vision focused upon the image of Ash’s face who seemed to be desperately trying to force him back to reality. Looking to the left was Celestia’s concerned face as she was caught between concern for her friends condition and the consequences of what would occur if they remained so close to what had once been a castle.
“I’m not sure what that undead looking bag of bones did to you but we have to move.” Said Ash who smiled a bit when Revan responded with a nod.
“Don’t worry I’m not dead yet.” Revan replied determined to see to it they all escaped.
“Let’s go.” Said Celestia as they began moving away as the pile of stones imploded.
“We just have to reach the portal.” Revan hoped there would be no further surprises until then.
