Chapter 12: Dtr45

The group followed Stampy into the trial and suddenly everything went dark.

"What's happening?" Anthony asked in fear.

Though Stampy was already panicking, and you would think he would be done doing that by now. "Panic panic panic panic pan-"

But Lizzie put her hand over Stampys mouth. "Be quiet! We're all fine, everything is fine. Right guys?"

"If you count being dead fine. So yeah, we're totally fine!" Xara said sarcastically.

Then they where able to see again. They saw that they where in an arena lit up by flaming green torches. People (souls, demons, shapeshifters, etc) sat in the stands above. And above the exit a hanging cage floated there, and inside the bars where four children (two boys and two girls). The children looked at Stampy and started to call out to him.

"You're awake!" Shouted a blond haired girl. It was Dawson.

"Get us out of here! My wizard magic isn't working!" Yelled the other girl, which was Julia.

The two boys didn't say anything. Well the younger boy did, but all he yelled out was curses and swears that shouldn't be repeated. The older boy let out soft whimpers that not even the people next to him could here. Stampy didn't know who they where at first, then he realized that it was Keanu and Moon Moon.

"What even is this place? Some sort of fight club?" Romeo joked.

"I'm so glad you asked!" Said a mysterious voice.

Suddenly, a flash of bright light appeared and a boy stood atop the cage where the kids where trapped in. From one look at his white hair you could already tell he was Light Kysumi, the boy that was actually a demon. A mere worker for Lucifer himself.

"This is my trial. I call it 'Light's Overpowered Legendary Trial'. The forty five is just a decoration." Light said.

"But that doesn't sound like an acronym for Dtr-" Anthony pointed out.

"Enough! The point is this is the FINAL trial. Pass this, and freedom is yours. Though I don't plan on you to pass. I hope you fail so I can get back to collecting those souls. So let me explain the 'rules' of this trial."

Light jumped down from the hanging cage and landed on his feat as if he was a cat. Even Stampy couldn't do that, and he was a cat person!

"The whole point of the trial is to try and defeat me, if I think you're worthy then I'll let you pass. If not... well then you came all this way for nothing. So... shall we begin?"

Though no one got to answer as the demon suddenly became eight feet tall and looked like one of those demons you see in church windows. Dragon wings from his back, his hands became claws, and even a tail! There was no way to leave the trial unless you wanted to get burned to death by hellfire which covered all the exits.

If Light being huge wasn't enough it only got worse. As he drew a double handed sword (though he was able to hold it with one hand due to demon strength) out of no where! Then Light let out almost a dragon like roar, and these skeleton warriors came out of the ground and started to attack the group. Magnus tried to knock over one of the soldiers but was knocked upside the head. "Okay... we're screwed..." Magnus grumbled.

Half of the 'battle' was just Stampy and Anthony running away from danger. Harper manged to use the bones of the skeleton warriors against them, Magnus chased the skeletons around (though they weren't that fast), while Romeo and Xara where fighting back to back. Lizzie caught up to Stampy and grabbed his hoodie. "What are you doing? You'll never get out of here alive if you don't fight back!"

At first Light just watched in amusement and drank some Demon Blood. Which sounds just as messed up than it actually is, because that's how he gets his power. And in a bold and brilliant moment, Xara threw her bone sword and managed to cause a rip in the bag Light was drinking out of.

Light growled. "Time to get serious." He picked up his sword and swung aimlessly into the crowd below him. Luckily (for Stampy at least) Light only hit his skeleton warriors.

~~~

Across the stadium near the hanging cage Magnus smelled other werewolves from the cage. He heard some voices but they where barley be heard thanks to all the yelling from the spectators.

"How are we going to get out?" Asked the first voice.

"I don't know! My magic wont work!" The second voice answered.

"I'm spooked..." The third voice whimpered.

"Shush fools! I'm watching the fight!" The last voice said.

I got to help them, it's the least I can... BONES! Magnus thought, but his was driven off by the skeleton warriors, who started running away from him.

On the other side of the arena, fighting back to back, was Romeo and Xara.

"So, you've been stuck fighting a giant lion for the past three weeks?" Romeo asked.

Xara knocked back some of the skeleton warriors and growled at him. "Is now really the time to be talking about this?"

"Well how didn't you know about this then!"

"I was fighting a lion, this isn't exactly the same thing Romeo!"

"Oh shut up! This is why you failed your job, your ONE job!" Romeo scolded.

"You couldn't even be alpha without getting help by some stranger!" Xara scolded back.

"Less talking, more fighting!" Someone else yelled, it was Lizzie.

"This doesn't involve you!" The two werewolves shouted in unison. And as if they where in sync, they both ducked from skeleton warriors attacks and changed places with the person behind them.

"I'm just saying, you should have an idea what to do Xara!" Romeo said, bringing the conversation back.

"I was murdered, Romeo!"

"And I saw what they did to your body! They burned you right in front of me before you got hanged."

"They burned my body? What's wrong with those people?"

"I know, they're animals!"

"Says the werewolf." Xara joked.

"Coming from the loner." Romeo joked back. And the two kept fighting, still in unison. Maybe, in another life, they where supposed to be together. They're just too prideful to notice.

~~~

Light swung his sword and almost got Stampy right in the arm. When he missed, he blew out a ball of hellfire. Which almost hit Stampy, though Lizzie was there to block it... with her face. "Argh!" she shouted, the fire left a scar on half her face.

"I can't see! You bastard!" Lizzie shouted at the demon. Though Light, didn't care and it was now Stampy who was making Lizzie move out of the way.

While all that was going on no one noticed Anthony and Harper trying to get the kids out of the cage. How Anthony got onto the cage is anyone's guess since no one saw him climb up on a wall and make a leap for it. "Don't say anything, this'll be quick." Anthony reassured them.

"Anthony! Here!" Harper yelled up to the man.

Anthony looked behind him and just barley caught the skeleton arm that was being tossed up to him. And using one of the sharp bone fingers (don't even ask how the arm stayed in place), the lock was opened and the cage was opened.

"I'm not jumping down there from this height!" Dawson said her dog whimpering behind her.

"Yeah, I'm not about to break my leg trying to get out of here. We'll find another way out!" Julia agreed.

Though before anyone could stop him, Keanu jumped out of the cage and rolled onto the ground. Shaking himself off of dirt and to reveal his wolf ears and tail. He wanted to bite the guy who put him in this dumb place.

"Keanu wait!" Moon Moon shouted.

But Keanu didn't listen, and the gangster werewolf ran on all four legs towards the demon. He pounced onto Light and bit his arm, and he gripped on for dear life. Light dropped his giant sword and swung his arm around trying to get Keanu off. But when the demon realized that the pup wasn't coming off he used his other hand to rip the pup off his arm. "You werewolves never know when to quit. Stupid dog!"

"Put me down fool! I'm Keanu! The gangster werewolf! Fuck off!" Keanu shouted then spat in the demons face. The pup even bit his enemies finger and that caused him to be dropped. But his short life flashed before his eyes as a demon tail whacked him across the arena, and smashed into the wall.

All Moon Moon could shout was 'No!' but it wasn't even a shout. Not even a whisper, because he didn't say anything. All while Dawson and Julia had to hold back the unsuspected werewolf from jumping out of the cage.

~~~

The battle raged on for about twenty minutes, and it wasn't long before everyone was rounded up. Except Anthony who hid with the girls (and Moon Moon) in the cage.

For some reason the skeleton soldiers didn't kill the others, just apprehended them. Maybe he told them not to kill us... Stampy thought. Though he was face to face with the demon.

Well... Stampy was on the ground, Light's foot rest on his chest. "This is pathetic. Normally, I'm a nice guy but you and your group of cretins... I can't believe this. Has the world resorted with adult humans and werewolves to act like this? Goodbye Stampy, I guess you'll never wake up. But don't be sad, Stacy will be down here soon enough when I collect her soul."

Stampy squirmed but he couldn't move, he could barely breathe as it is. And as Light lifted his sword, with two hands to prove more effective, to finally finish his job, Stampy couldn't help but feel as if he failed again. Stacy... Your happiness is all I ever... Ugh... I just hope you can forgive my recklessness one day... And even if the world tells us it's wrong...

























I love you...





































Suddenly, Lights sword disappeared and he shrunk down to his normal hight. "Damn it! Not now... not-"

But he never got to finish his sentence because all of the skeleton soldiers disappeared and a dragon came from the demons shadow to replace them. The dragon had completely black scales, if you could call them that. It's body was more or less a shadow itself, except the white eyes.

When Light got up to look at the dragon he had an expression of pure fear. "D-did master Lucifer finally send me a pet d-dragon?" He asked, stuttering as if he where Stampy.

The dragon shook it's head and said, "No, your time is up Light. Master wants those souls, and he wants them now."

"Just give me more time! Take this guy as an offering, I just need more time!" Light pleaded.

Yet the dragon shook it's head again. "This is why you don't deal with the devil. Those souls are already in mortal bodies again, you failed."

The dragon grabbed Lights foot in his mouth and opened up a giant hole in the ground. As the dragon started to pull Light in he started to beg and plead. "No, no please! No! I still have more time! I'll get them I promise! I can still steal their souls! Come on, I got time! I still got time!"

But the whole closed, and Lights scream echoed throughout the entire arena. Light the Demon was no more.

~~~

A

s the arena emptied all that was left was our heros. Anthony managed to get everyone down from the cage and Moon Moon ran to Keanus side.

"Keanu?" Moon Moon whimpered. But there was no response.

When Moon Moon called his name again and still got no answer he tried shaking his friend, thinking he was just asleep.

And yet, Keanu did wake up... a little bit. "Dude?" The pup said weakly.

"Dude!" Moon Moon cheered.

"Ow... not so loud... everything hurts... Back up fool, I need space..." Keanu said, still using the word 'fool' in his sentence.

"You'll be okay, the mean not so human is gone now! We can go home! Paw Patrol!" Moon Moon said excitedly.

Keanu smirked. "We'll be there on the double..."

"Whenever you're in trouble..." Moon Moon said, completing the phrase.

The pain flushed over the small pup and Keanu started to whimper. "Oh crap. Am I... Dying? I don't... I don't wanna die... I still have so much I... want to..."

"Quiet fool... It'll be okay..." Moon Moon encouraged. He tried using the word 'fool' but it only sounded right when Keanu said it.

"God d-damnit... Moon Moon. Go... fly you fools..." Keanu mumbled.

"I'm not leaving!" Moon Moon argued. He resisted getting up so Romeo and Xara and to pull the pup up. As much as Moon Moon squirmed he'll never forget Keanus last words.

Keanu took a deep breath and smiled. If he was going to die from internal bleeding, he might as well make his best friend smile. "Damnit Moon Moon..."

~~~

"Here it is... The top of the inferno..." Magnus informed.

"I'd never thought I'd live to see the day." Xara joked.

"Not cool, we're dead, some kids aren't supposed to be here, and Stampy's been unconscious for a month." Anthony said.

"Only a month? This must be the fasted trip up the inferno in it's history." Harper said.

"It is, we're legends now!" Lizzie cheered, though the scar on her face left her half blind and she almost fell of the mountain twice since they left the Dtr45.

"I'm so ready to leave this place!" Romeo yawned.

Stampy remained quiet as his friends continued to talk, so did Moon Moon. Dawson and Julia where already becoming good friends even if it was dark times.

A whole month. That gangster werewolf kid died. Stacy is alive? I should be happy but, I feel bad for Moon Moon, if that's his real name. This never would've happened if I never grabbed that stupid book! Why do I keep messing up? Why-

Stampy was snapped out of his thoughts when they saw two angels appear. Xapham, the angel of creation, and Micah, the angel of miracles.

Xapham looked at the gang and nudged Micah. "Aren't those the souls who..."

"Yeah I think so. Do we do our thing?"

"I guess?"

"Wow, so even angels don't know what they're doing." Xara joked.

"Hey," says Xapham, offended, "we don't get a lot of visitors up here. So shut it in the name of Notch!"

"Anyways," Micah said, "congratulations on coming all the way up here. Sorry if we're a but unprepared, you just came up so fast. And we're sorry about you children being brought here. That soul hunter shouldn't have don't that."

"At least we got an adventure out of it!" Julia said.

"More or like a prison." Dawson corrected.

"More like a bad place." Moon Moon grumbled.

"Children, we'll have one of our dragon angels bring you back to your home. But just to warn you, in the mortal world you've been gone for a month... just don't bring this place up. Because no one will believe you."

Before the children could ask a question they saw a dragon covered in feathers fly down next to the angels. It seemed friendly and lowered it's head and neck for the children to get on its back. Instead Dawson started to scratch underneath its chin while Julia dragged Turtle and got on the Dragon. Moon Moon grabbed onto the dragons great tail, but the dragon just lifted its tail so that Moon Moon would fall and land right being Julia on his back.

When Turtle started to bark the dragon got a little scared and fidgety. "Don't worry, he's a friendly dragon. All Aether dragons are." Xapham explained.

"There's different dragon types?" Dawson asked and she got onto the dragons back.

"You don't even know. Yip yip Mr. Aether!" Micah said.

The Aether dragon spread out it's wings and started to fly out of the inferno, to a bright light that guided the way out.

Once the dragon was out of sight the two angels looked at Stampy. "So, you wish to return to your body and wake up?" Micah asked.

"Yes, please."


"If that's what you wish... then so be it." Xapham said.

Xapham and Micah both reached out their hands and touched Stampys heart, most likely to put a spell on him. Stampy felt lighter, and he turned to his friends to say goodbye. "I'll never forget you guys!" He said.

"Tell Ellie I said hi!" Magnus called out to him.

"And save me a cookie!" Anthony called out.

"Next time, don't get yourself into a coma." Harper advised. Xara and Romeo didn't say anything. Lizzie just waved. Stampy had to cover his eyes because the light was so bright.

Just as the world seemed peaceful, someone grabbed onto Stampys shoulder.
