Yuriel put her hand off of Kim mouth, gasping for air. He asks why she did that.
"Quiet down, there something down here with us, we're not alone…"
Kim eyes narrowed down to the ground, the petal barely manage to land on his shoulder. He moved his foot and create a rustling sound.
"What did I say about making noise?"
Yuriel whisper to Kim but his body suddenly slumped a little. Yuriel covered both his and her nose with her hands.
Kim regained some control of his body.
"What was that, I felt dizzy, my head is throbbing."
Putting his hand on his head, he rubbed it to ease out some of the headaches.
"I forgot, don't breathe in the flower beneath us, they are poisonous!"
"What are you talking about? It's too dark to see anywhere, where do you see the flower?"
Kim looks down at the ground, too dark to see but he could felt some type of plants rubbing against his legs.
Yuriel creates some form of dim light with her magic to show Kim what she was talking about. After successfully creating some light, she bends to the ground while telling Kim to cover his nose.
She hovered the dim light toward the ground to reveal a red crimson flower, the color was what the name indicates, a beautiful red scarlet color.
The dim light makes the scarlet color shine a bright blood color.
Kim eyes widen, not in admiration nor disbelief, he was confused.
"Flower— how did they grow in this fleshy environment?"
He turned his head toward Yuriel.
"Wait, how you know it's poisonous?"
Yuriel stays quiet only for a moment before responding.
"It's not like I know it but I heard it from someone else, multiple stories I think was talking about this."
"Well if you know where we are, why didn't you tell me?"
Before Yuriel could respond, the ground beneath them was shaking, the flower did a slow dance as the petals slip away from the pistil.
Kim thoughts to him as he look down on the ground.
"Is something beneath us? No, it don't feel that way, rather something is coming toward us."
Kim lifted up his head, ahead of them is a spider rushing toward Kim and Yuriel. It's 10 legged legs hair make a nuzzle sound as it commerce with eachother.
The spider head was fills with eyeballs, atleast 30 eyes minimum. Behind the spider back was full of faces that was sew with its web. The spider opened up its jaw to reveal 2 razor sharp teeth. It gnawed down where Kim and Yuriel was but Yuriel managed to grab ahold of Kim and pushed themselves away from getting eaten.
"Shoot! Kim snaps out of it!"
Kim head twitched a little before coming back to his sense, Yuriel held onto Kim hand and drag him along with her.
Kim looks back to see the spider chasing them, he slowly turned his head forward and continued running.
"What a scary spider…" he thought, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Kim look over to see Yuriel asking him something.
"Could you distract the spider for a bit, just where I could charge up."
Kim give a slight nod not thinking about it as he was zone out. Yuriel nods back and goes in a different direction. There she tell the spider to chased Kim.
"I guess I'm alway be the guinea pig…"
Kim realizing the dire situation he is in started screaming, he run as fast as he could to not get hit. The spider strike at him with one of his right leg, it swings down toward the ground, scratching it a little but missing Kim.
Kim panting, continues running. He have no idea where he were going, his surroundings was dark, he can't see what's ahead of him nor what behind him, he could only hear the noise the spider make as it pursuit him.
"Why am I in this situation? I just want to venture out with my friends and find a way to go back to my world."
As Kim keeps on running, he heard a yelled coming toward him in his direction, though he can't see who it was, he already knows.
Kim smile lightly as excitement travel through his body.
"What took you so long, Yuriel?"
Yuriel dashes pass Kim, his hair slightly move as the wind created by Yuriel follow behind her. She pounces down toward the spider but it manages to leap back causing Yuriel to punch the ground, creating a small crater.
She charge at the spider with swift speed. Punching at it, the spider backs up slowly while blocking all of her punches.
Yuriel and the spider was at a statemate, all Yuriel could do was punch at it while the spider just blocks it. Though the winning side was toward the spider, haven't eaten for a few days, Yuriel was not at her full strength.
The spider feeling every punch's from Yuriel could feel it was getting slower and weaker, the heavy weight of her punch soften.
The spider blocks her left jab, with five of its right leg, it stabs at Yuriel rapidly. Yuriel having no choice to back up, leaps back from the spider, avoiding its attack.
Yuriel pants as she stood face to face with the spider.
"Dammit, I could feel my energy getting weaker by the second…" Yuriel stomach growls,
"Me and Kim also haven't eaten in a few days, I'm not sure if I can beat this spider but I can stall long enough for Kim to run away."
Yuriel chuckles, she bumps her fist together, this time she is only using her gauntlet with her right arms.
"This way, I can save some energy, though my left side is wide open… it doesn't matter, this is my apologies for beating up Uma friends."
Kim looks at Yuriel as she begins smile, he could see her head turned in his direction, Yuriel opens her mouth but no word come out, she was lip syncing for Kim to,
"Run!"
Then she looks back at the spider that was charging toward her, she toughened her calves beneath the ground, with every energy she managed to conserve, she rushed toward the spider.
Kim could do nothing but watch, he knows that he is useless and if he were to join in a fight, he would be a liability…
"Dammit, it's the same thing again and again, I could only watch…"
Kim continues running in the same direction he was going, with a looks of shame he stops in his track.
He looks towards the ground for a moment before lifting his head up.
"I got to atleast try to help her, but how?"
Yuriel swings at the spider with her right arm, the spider blocks it, thinking it was the same but once it came into contact with it, the spider hear its bone cracking. It leaps back in fear, keeping its distance with Yuriel.
"What's wrong, you're not on offense anymore? Well I am!"
She lunges in the direction of the spider, ready to strike at it but it uses its webs to slow down Yuriel.
"Shoots!"
Trying to untangle herself from the webs, the spider slammed its body against Yuriel, managing to crush her left hands.
She gritted her teeth together to not scream out in pain. She looks at her hand.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not my arm, my hand will heal in like a few months."
She looks backs up to see the spider storming toward her direction. It lifted up five legs from both side and rapidly attack Yuriel. Yuriel stood up and tried her best to block the attack but she couldn't blocks all of the spider strikes.
Four of the spider legs managed to pierce her body, the spider swing her leg, slapping Yuriel against the fleshy wall.
"Gugh-"
Blood streams down Yuriel mouth, she manage to use the rest of her energy to block the blood that was flowing out of her body by the piercing.
Her fiery gauntlet exhausted out and disappeared, she slowly closed her eyes as the spider walked towards Yuriel, wanting to kill her and steal her face and added to its collection, then she became unconscious.
Just as it was about to stabs her heart, something came flying toward it.
"You! Get away from her!!!"
Kim said, throwing a ball made out of flesh.
"Good thing Yuriel created that crater from earlier, the fleshy wall is tough but once you managed to penetrate the outer layer, the inside is soft though from the looks of it, it harden as it detached from the wall."
Kim continues throwing the fleshy ball at the spider, at first it ignores Kim. Wanting to kill the person in front of it for damaging its leg.
It ready up its strike but before it could end Yuriel life once and for all, the harden flesh ball hits one of the spider collection, the faces on its back.
Kim shouted and occasionally called out some slur against it. The spider turned in the direction where Kim is at.
Kim seeing this, runs. He didn't even thinks about it he just know that he have to booked it. The spider chased Kim down, slamming its legs, trying to crush Kim.
Yuriel slowly regained consciousness, her vision was blurry and she have a hard time breathing.
"Kim…?"
She makes small movement, getting herself out the wall, she stood on the ground. She breathe heavily, her lungs hurts as it function.
"I'm hungry, I'm tired, I'm thirsty… yet I'm out here resting while Kim is out there saving me. I told him to run yet…"
Yuriel slowly makes her way toward the spider, she raised up her right arms and boom, her gauntlet is back on her arms.
She took two deep breath, gradually making her way toward the spider.
Kim seeing this signals Yuriel to run but she shooks her head. She leaps up in the air, charging her attack, just as she was about to punch the spider, she heard a little girl voice.
"Help me!"
This causes her to lose focus and look around, the spider stops chasing Kim and slammed Yuriel to the ground.
"Yuriel!!!"
Kim tried to get the spider attention but this time was different, he knows that the spider won't be agitated by him anymore, not until it have kill Yuriel.
