The three boys began to walk down the newly developed staircase. As they did, the shape of a man's torsoe could be made, but nothing else was seeable through the darkness that had consumed the chamber. "Who's there?" Tyler asked, begining to shiver. Ghost and Josh unsheathed their swords in preperation to fight. "My name? It has been lost to me. Lost when the spirits cursed me with guarding this place." The man said, and then he began to move forward in a wierd motion. "Do you truly wish to procede down thise path?" The man asked. "Of course." Ghost said, and then he launched himself ontop of the man. A tail came out of no where and nocked Ghost right off of him, while he parried Josh's blow with relative ease. "What the?" Ghost called aloud, infuriated and then looked to see the other half of the mans body, was a tail that reached up to 8 feet long. Josh unleashed a furry of blows on the man, and yet he kept up with each and every one of them. Before he could relize, however, that Ghost was there, Ghost had managed land on the man's back. Ghost raised his sword, and sliced at the man's tail. It fell of and wriggled like a worm, and then went still. The man flung himself to the ground, dragging his and Josh's swords to hit both him and Josh in an X formation, and then convulsed. Ghost took his blade and slammed it through the man's head. "Well that was an irritation rather than a challenge." Ghost commented, and then pushed the man off of Josh. "You alright?" Ghost asked, healing the wound inflicted upon Josh. "I'm fine." He replied as he was healed. Tyler stood in the middle of the staircase, too scared to move another step. "Tyler, head back. You're useless out here right now." Ghost told him, and then continued toward the door in the chamber.
As the neared the end of the tunnel, a second chamber could be seen, with a glowing red light illuminating the inside of it. "Almost there, now get ready." Ghost told Josh and prepared to attack. Ghost stopped at the enterance to the chamber, and turned toward Josh. "You ready?" He asked in a whisper. "Yes." Josh replied. They sprung into the chamber with their swords raised, only to see Jacob standing near the red stone, with two seventh years standing around it. "We knew you would come for it. It was only a matter of time. You're a dark Hexan, pure and simple. You should never have been allowed in this school in the first place." Jacob commented with a sneer on his face. "Aha. Perhaps, perhaps not, but either way, we're leaving with that stone." Ghost said with an arrogent tone. "Not while I am here, child." Jacob retorted and drew a scythe. "If you want to get the crap beat out of you by my hands, then I'll be much obliged to do so." Ghost said and then launched himself at Jacob. One of the seventh years slid past Ghost and tried to slash him in the legs, but he was stabbed in the back of the head by Josh, who merely twisted around to face his new opponent, the other seventh year. Ghost stabbed toward Jacob's ribs, but Jacob merely dashed to the side and knocked Ghost's blade away with the staff of the scythe, and then slammed the scythe in Ghost's shoulder blade, burrying it deep in bone. "Ow, sir." Ghost said, barely flinching, and then slammed his sword into the staff of the scythe, leaving it in small fragments. "That's a very rude thing to do." Ghost added, as Jacob fell to the ground holding his hand. "Even if you get the stone, the Headmaster will stop you." Jacob retorted with a grin. "Perhaps" Ghost said and then slammed his sword into Jacob's face. He grabbed the red stone, and it began to shine brighter. A rush of power was given to him, and through him, Josh...
