Chapter Castle 2
Momo POV
"Peach! Over here! There's a opening on the floor down here!" I yelled out to Peach. She runs over and we get inside the floor opening quickly. We dropped down into it and landed on our feet. We then started to hear talking from above us. I guess Zero's magic wore off, just in time too. "Where are we Momo?" She asks me frightened. "I don't know," I replied. It looks like we're underneath the castle. It's wet, secluded, and dirty down here. There is a long pathway on both sides of us. It looks like they both lead somewhere. "Which way should we go Peach?" She grabs my arm and says, "Uhh...don't ask me Momo. I don't know.." I can tell she's really frightened; she's shaking like a leaf.
"It's okay P... um, can I... call you that?" I asked her. "Y-Yes...can I...call you Mo?" "O-Of course..." I said while blushing uncontrollably. We eventually decided to walk the path on the left. We walked slowly, while being conscious of everything. Suddenly, we heard a noise and it sounds like a familiar voice, but it's very faint. "Oh my God...you heard that?" Peach asks while clinging onto me even more. This is seriously bad for my heart. "I did, let's follow it, but let's be careful. We're still in demon territory." We walked down the path more and we take a right. Going down this creepy hallway really gives me goosebumps. When we come across the next right turn, we peak around it to see a single demon guarding something. It looks like a cell, could Henry be in there?!
"P, what's your power?" "Ah, I can control slime," "That's so fucking cool," I told her and she looks away shyly. She's seriously so cute. "What about you Mo?" "I can transform into a werewolf." "Oh wow...that's so cool!" She says in a whisper. I rubbed the back of my neck feeling a bit flustered. "It looks like none of our powers will work perfectly well in this situation," I said. "Oh...then what do we do??" She asked me. I looked around to see what I can use to distract him. "There Mo!" I looked to see what Peach was pointing at. She was pointing at a round black 8 ball on the floor. It looked old and rotted. Was there an old pool room that used to be here? I go to grab it and it looked to be in absolutely horrendous condition.
Some kind of weird gooey stuff was on it. I picked it up with my index and thumb finger. I go behind the corner again, and I peak around. The demon seems to be looking around for something. Oh no, did he sense us? I quickly throw the 8 ball past him and he looks confused. Then he starts to come over in our direction. Me and Peach hide behind the corner, hoping we could jump him. Right before he comes around the corner. I pounce on him and just start punching him without stopping. I just kept going, and going and going. To the point where Peach had to stop me. "I-I think he's out Mo..." "Oh..sorry.." I said while laughing awkwardly.
We go over to the cell, and when we look inside, I said, "Henry?" "Holy shit!! Momo!! Peach??!?! What the fuck?!" Henry yelled out. "Shhh, we'll explain later, we're gonna get you out of here." I looked at the cell and it looked sturdy as hell. "Where are the keys?!" I asked frantically. "The guard," I hear a voice say from behind us, across the room. "Lu-Lucas?!" I yelled out in awe, but Peach hit me because I was being too loud. "Shush!!" She yells out in a whisper. "Sorry..." I looked over at Lucas again and noticed he was all beat up and bruised. "So this is where you disappeared to after the tournament?" I asked him. "Yeah," he responded. "Look, can we talk about this later? Grab the keys and get us out please!" Henry yells out. I shushed him and then go to the guard to look for the keys. I rummaged around in his pocket and I find them. Then I run back to the cell to unlock it.
"Henry!" Peach yells out before hugging him and he hugs her back. I know he has a boyfriend but I still can't help but be jealous. He looks at me and hugs me as well. "Let's go," Henry says. "What about him?" I asked pointing at Lucas. Peach has a disgusted look on her face. Wow, she must really hate him. I mean, he did kill their close friend so it's understandable. Henry sighs, and he looks at me and says, "Just do whatever you want." So I tossed the keys near his cell and said, "Do what you want." Then me, Henry and Peach start running. "Oh, Hen, we came with everyone else," Peach tells him while grabbing his arm. "Everyone?" He asks with a worried expression. "Yeah, Ry, Lye, Cherry, Mo, Zero, and Reese. Also we met...oh well, that's a surprise for later, hehe~" He grabs the bridge of his nose in frustration. "I told you guys not to-" "Since when have we ever listened to you?" I asked him with a smile. He sighs and says "Never."
"We need to find them, hurry let's go." I looked back to see Lucas out of his cell. I sighed and said, "You coming?" He looks a bit surprised, but he nods and follows us. We go back the way we came, and I tell them, "That's the hole we came out of." "Pause," Henry said. "This is no time for jokes Hen." "Sorry," he replied. I laughed and lifted Peach up to the hole and she lets out a small shriek. So cute~ "Let me know before you do that next time Mo." She says, I nodded and she looks through the hole before going all the way up. "There are no demons so far, oh wait...here comes one I think. Wait! It's Ry!! It's Ryder!!" "What?!" Henry yells out.
"Ryder!" She yells out. "Peach? Is that you?" "Yes! It's me! We found Henry!!" "You did?! Where are you?!" "Down here!" "Oh my God! It's really you!" He yells out. "Yeah! Just lift up the board and you should fit down here." Peach tells him. "Did you forget we have to get out of here Peach?" Henry asks her. "Oh yeah, wait Ry! We'll come up to you." He says okay and Peach opens the top of the hole and crawls out. She lifts me up, then Henry goes, and we lift him up too. Henry hugs Ryder instantly and they started kissing. I felt like I was invading their privacy. I looked down to see Lucas. I reluctantly offered my hand. He grabs it and I pull him up.
I looked over to Ryder and Henry, and they're literally eating each others faces. "Uh, guys...you can do that after we leave." They stopped kissing and looked over at us. "S-Sorry, I forgot you guys were ther-.....it's you...you asshole!" Ryder says before going up to Lucas. He punches him, but Lucas just stood there and took it. "Ry! Calm down, I wanna beat him up too, but I'm really holding back." Peach says while glaring at Lucas. "Where did he come from?!" Ryder yells out. "When I woke up, I saw him in the other cell," Henry told us. "Oh...so this is where he disappeared to after killing Zayne." Ryder says while still glaring. "I thought you killed him Henry!"
"Believe me, I thought I did too, but I guess he survived. Although, I wouldn't mind trying again." Henry said while walking up to him. I stepped in front of him and said, "We're not here for this Henry, we need to get out of here now." Henry clicked his tongue and Ryder said, "Whatever, I still don't like this asshole...and speaking of assholes," he said before slapping Henry on his arm. "Ow, what was that for?" "You dick! That's for leaving us!! You know how worried I was?! Ugh!!" Ryder says before storming off. He doesn't even know where he's going. "Babe I'm sorry!!" Henry said while trying to catch up to him. Peach grabs my hand and we followed behind them. I smiled and turned back around to see Lucas still standing there. All of a sudden Peach stops walking and turns around to yell out, "Hey you! Let's go, I may not like you, but you're still a human, just like us." She said to Lucas angrily. Lucas looks up expressionless and follows us.
