FUCK your God! And FUCK you!

"Why do you refuse your fate, mortals? Your hair and your scales will certainly satisfy God." The Cofagrigus's unrelenting voice called out the Gothorita and Treecko as its huge, gold coffin body hovered over their heads, its matching gold eyes watched their every move with a sense of pleasure on its face. Oishi took on one side of the cave, while Artemis handled the other side, slicing through a barrage of ancient bandages with her stone knives and his continuous Fury Cutter attack. The ghost's chilling stare locked onto Oishi as she fought on vigorously, she couldn't shake the increased feeling of dread she now experiencing. Paranoia began setting in as Oishi could feel someone's hot breath on her shoulder, yet no one was behind her. Every time she sensed something behind her back or saw a figure at the corner of her eyes, nothing would be there to confirm her suspicions. What was this ghost doing to her mind?

Artemis bounced to and fro on his round toes as he confronted the enemy head on, avoiding the black, ghastly, spider-like hands that stretched out from underneath the sarcophagus' golden lid. Even though speed was on his side, the area was just too small for him to keep dodging both the bandages and those eerie hands at the same time. Just as Artemis was jumping out the path of another ghostly hand, the bandages snatched him out the air by the ankles and wrists in mid-jump. The raptor hit the floor stomach first with a high pitched grunt escaping his mouth.

"God remembers you well, Frightened One." The ghost stated rather calmly as it dragged Artemis slowly across the uneven ground, lifting the lizard in the air, eye to eye with a creature made of pure despair. The nooses around his limbs tightened unbearably with the Treecko's endeavors to attack the ancient entity, but the ghost kept enough distance between them to avoid harm. "God witnessed all the sin and bloodshed you, the Emotionless One, and my Sister of the Moon caused that fateful day, the countless lives you three ended was plentiful to say the least." Emotionless One? Did phantom mean the Gothorita's father? Nothing the Cofagrigus was saying made sense! Artemis snarled at his undead captor in pure disgust, gnawing desperately at the bandages that labeled him immobilized. He didn't want to hear the corrupting nonsense that the ghost spouted out its fanged mouth, claiming what his so-called God had seen or heard. All Artemis wanted was to forget the memories of the blood soaked battlefield, the sight of his comrades' organs being torn out straight from the their torsos, foxes choking on their own blood before death claimed their souls, red ooze pouring, spewing like a fountain from the dismembered corpses that littered the battlefield, the nightmares he suffered during and after the battle; all of it seemed like endless madness to the lizard. He wanted to scream until the breath from his lungs was no more. Then, maybe, his restless soul could finally find peace.

"Leave him alone, you nasty demon!" Oishi hollered as she snapped out her state of acute paranoia, dashing toward the Cofagrigus with her balled up fists glowing in flames of dark energy. She launched herself at the phantom and smashed her fists into the sarcophagus, the power of the girl's Payback sent it crashing into the back wall of the chamber, releasing Artemis from his woven prison. His thin pupils dilated, forming nubs as he submitted to an unconscious state, his body trembled and the heavy scent of blood returned to his wide nostrils as watched the two opposite forces engage in a heated battle, those painful memories more vivid than ever. The cave spun around him violently, the cave walls seem to melt as he felt the heat intensified in the lair with his growing anxiety and nausea. Blood seemed to leak from the crevices of the walls, trailing along the rocks and pooling as it reached the bottom. His footing staggered and he fell onto the rocky floor, barely face to face with a bandaged mass whose dull, pleading, yellow eyes pierced Artemis' soul like knives. He killed so many in the past, the iron taste of blood now returned to his tongue and the cries of agony filled his ears once again. Nightmares, dreams, and memories swirl in a confusing mixture in his head when the world faded away into the black abyss, maybe he could forgive himself for all those murders some day.

The Cofagrigus swayed back and forth, waggling a single digit at the girl in a mocking manner. "Watch your tongue Star Child, and open your eyes to the real demon here." Another hand lay open, gesturing the lizard who was trembling madly. "Your friend has murdered many Children of God, letting their flesh rot in the field and fed upon by scavengers. Their souls may never rest because of that lizard's actions!" The arisen coffin roared, slamming one of his ghastly hands on the ground, causing the cavern to rumble. He then closed his eyes, exhaling, and a softer, yet more eerie smile returned. "But I will give him the chance to repent." To Oishi, the ghost appeared quite confident of his statements to serve the acclaimed God, but that didn't mean she could trust it. She had more trust in that flaunty Sneasel than that Ghost! A vaporous hand extended out from the shadows slowly behind Oishi and grabbed her by the hair brutally while she was distracted, the Ghost gave a dry chuckle as it swung its victim around like a toy. She wailed in distress as the burning sensation of her hair being pulled overcame her and her thrashing wildly only made the pain worse.

"Mama!" Cried Oishi, flailing about in Cofagrigus' grip.

"Only God can save you now, Star Child." It said, wrapping Oishi's lean figure in its bandages.

"FUCK YOUR GOD!" Mali bellowed as she came galloping through the Cofagrigus' lair with Chryss back on the Flaaffy's back, holding onto her wool as if they were her reins. Chryss couldn't deny it but she felt majestic as hell riding on her fleece steed to the save that brat's ass, she would kiss her claws at the end of this mission now.

"AND FUCK YOU!" Chryss shouted, the blue feathers on her backend began to the glow silver and lengthened to the size of small swords. Mali skidded to a graceful halt next to Artemis' body and stood on her two feet again, causing Chryss to fall back onto her striped tail. The ram lurched forward, turning her tail into a makeshift catapult and flinging the Sneasel high into the air with ease. Chryss didn't have much time to think right now and instinct kicked in full force. She swung her Iron Tails downwards as her body descended, slicing through the air as the attack connected with the Cofagrigus' face, the force of the steel against the gold coffin caused white sparks to shower the area. The spectre let out a shrill scream in pain that shook the cave to its core. His coffin closed, covering his face with the small, crazed mask, and the smoky spider hands retracted back inside its body, dropping the Gothorita in the process.

The bandage-encased Gothorita coughed for air as she strained to crawl towards a small piles of rocks next to the wall, every muscle in her body screamed an orchestra of pain with each inch she moved. She came to her destination, smiling through her pain as she could see the top of her purple egg peaking out from its hiding place. Oishi rested her fingerless hand on the egg, feeling the warmth of the life growing within the shell. She loved the egg dearly, it was her sibling after all. It deserved better than being here in this cold, damp cave... and it was her fault it was here.
