#7 of Time travellers
"Canis, the two rings that they have will want to be reunited with the third ring. They will lead them to the cave where it is hidden. Should all three rings be brought together, they will become one ring that will lead whoever wears it to what they most want. It will only fit on the hands of an animal like me or you so we should be safe as long as the panther does not put it on. I am not expecting them to get the ring though because it is guarded by a creature that I had trouble sealing in that cave. We will have to begin your training again now so you will not be able to be defeated. Come Canis!" "Yes Master." "Hey! My ring is reacting to something. I think we should land here." They land the Epoch and go to where the rings want to go. They find a mysterious cave and enter it. In it they find the bones of all sorts of beings in a long hallway. At the end of the hallway is a large door. When they open it, they all sense something very powerful behind the door. When they enter the room, they all hear a voice in their heads. "why have you come to see us? Are we really that interesting?" The voice appeared to be having a conversation with itself. "Ha ha ha! You are so funny! Of course we are that interesting. And look we now have food!" "Food? Where? All I see is a human, a cat girl, a panther, and a frog! Where is this food?" "They are the food!!" "Really? Are you sure? Well we should not let them get away from us should we?" "No we shouldn't" "Well let us go greet our food!" the voice said and then they all saw something come running at them. Before it hit them, it stopped and held out a hand. The thing had long arms and legs but had a vaguely human form. The only difference was that it was over nine feet tall and its eyes were on its chest and it had two mouths. One on the head and one under the eyes. "HIIIIIII!!!!!!" the thing yelled in their minds. "Yes hello" said the creature but in a different tone than at first. "We are so pleased to meet you food!" "Yes we are!!" "Chrono I think the thing is insane. "UH! We are not insane!!! Now we will have to kill you!! Have a good day!!" The voice yelled in their minds as its hands changed into swords. "Here we come, ready or not!" The thing yells as it charges at them swinging its arms wildly. They all dodge its attack and then it just starts to twirl like a ballerina. "AWWWWWW!!! You missed you idiot!!" "I didn't miss, you did!" "I will have you know I never miss so clearly you missed!!!" "HEY!!" The voice shouts at Chrono stopping him in his tracks as he was about to slice the thing. "DO YOU HAVE ANY PATIENCE?? LET US HANDLE OUR OWN PROBLEMS!!!" "Now then as I was saying, you missed!!" "Wait! If I never miss and you never miss, then they must have missed!!" "Of course!! It makes perfect sense! We did not miss, they missed!!" "Well shall we try again?" "Indeed we shall!!" The voice said this time one hand changing into an axe. It charged at them again but this time, it moved its entire sword arm in a circle all the way around its body. Then the axe hand travelled down onto the sword arm creating a deadly whirl of sword and axe as it charged at them. "How did it do that?" "Who cares! Just run. "Luminaire!!" "Oh no you don't. you don't get to have any magic. Magic is so last year" "Yes it is." "Chrono come quickly! Me throw you at thing." Ayla yelled. "Ok."Chrono replied and when he got to Ayla, she grabbed his feet and began to spin with him. When they were going at an outrageous speed, she let go of him and sent him flying right into the thing. Slash! "OWWWWW!!!!! That hurt!! Why did you hurt me??" "Yeah why did you hurt him??" "Chrono, I think the thing has two minds; one for each mouth. It is talking to itself. Maybe if we went for the mouths..." "Yeah if you could hit them!!! Ha ha ha!!" the voice said as the mouths began to move around the body. "Ayla!! Throw something at that thing!" "Ok" Ayla said as she began punching a rock from the wall. The rock she threw at the thing was bigger than the beast but right before it hit, the things body parted to let it pass. Chrono seized this chance to attack one of the mouth cutting it off. "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT HURT!!!!!! Now you are asking for it." "MORPH!!!" the thing called out and its body began to change. Its arms got thicker and the sword arm got wider. The axe also got bigger. The remaining mouth moved onto the stomach and changed into a hole full of teeth. The eyes moved to the top of the head and went off its body to be attached by thick tendrils that allow the eyes to see everything around it. Its body became scaly and the feet changed into claws. Spikes began to appear all over the body of the thing. It also grew two thick whip like arms that were over fifteen feet long. The group felt their magic returning to them and knew at once that the thing would be able to use magic also. Not wanting to see what it would be capable of, the entire group began casting magic. They all cast separate spells at the same time. "Luminaire!" "atrum res" "fluctus" "inflixi" the instant the magic hit the thing, there was a massive explosion. They all charge into the smoke cloud and jump up before they run into the beast. They all come down on the thing and begins slicing and biting and punching it everywhere. "GET OFF OF MEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "MURUS!!!!!!" they were all flung off of the beast by a barrier. They then see the damage they had done. They had destroyed at least half of the things body. But then it began to re-grow. "It will just keep healing itself! We can't kill it!!" "No look. It did not re-grow the mouth we CUT off. I think whatever is cut off is gone." "How do you propose we cut off anything else?" "I have an idea! "lubricus!!" Frog yelled as he jumped up and brought his sword down on the beast. It cut right through the things arm. But then it grabbed him with one of the whips and flung him in the wall with the whip attaching him to the wall. "MY ARM!!! YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!!! It yelled as it grabbed Caroline with another whip doing the same thing. "Chrono what can we do?" "I don't know!" "I will tell you how to fight this being." "Who said that?" "SHUT UP FOOL. ACTING CRAZY WILL NOT MAKE ME GO EASY ON YOU!!!!!" "Trust me. I want to be free of this place. I am the sister of the rings you two wear on your fingers. Allow us to control your body please." The voices in their heads told them as they slowly passed from consciousness. "Are you ready for this sis?" "Hell yeah Bro!" "LETS GET HIM!!" the rings yelled through Ayla and Chrono. No one knows what happened after that because the rings never told anyone. When Chrono and Ayla woke up, they find the body of the beast torn to pieces and found they were more tired than ever before. They freed Caroline and Frog and found the last ring in the center of the body parts. The ring told them to place the other two next to it and they did. There was a blinding flash and the three rings became one. A floating voice cam to all of them. "We will only fit the finger of an animal and we shall point you to that which you desire most. Caroline, you are the only one who can wear us." They said as Caroline picked up the ring and put it on. Immediately, she felt a pull in the direction where what she wanted most was. They leave the cave and board the Epoch and begin flying in the direction that Caroline felt the pull from.
"Canis!" "Yes master?" "They got the third ring. They are on their way here. I will prepare the troops but you will be my last line of defense. Should they get past you, you will die!" "Yes master. They will not get past me!" "It is time for revenge Caroline! You will pay for drowning me!"
"It is time for revenge Accersitus! You will pay for what you did to Robert!"
