==Chapter Five: Nails==
Thorn, Honey, and Kyle were sitting at the bar. Thorn's charm glowed.
"Find Nails."
"Nails?" Thorn asked.
"You lookin' for Nails?" a man asked.
"Yeah, know where she is?" Kyle asked him.
"She's over there." he motioned to the bartender.
Thorn, Kyle, and Honey walked over to her.
"Sorry kids. No drinks for minors." she said.
"Are you Nails?" Thorn asked.
"Who wants to know?"
"We're looking for Midnight." Honey explained.
Her eyes widened.
"Come with me."
Rose's parents, Duke and Alexandria had just finished interviewing the staff of Twinkle Park.
"Nothing." Alexandria said.
"No one has seen the bounty hunters around here." Duke said.
"But Omega said that woman told him they were around here." Rose said. "We have to keep looking."
Behind Twinkle Park, there was an old sewer system. The entrance to the sewer had been boarded up many years ago, which was now littered with graffiti. In the center of it, there was the phrase: Nack's Place.
"This is it." Rose said.
"I shall blow the doors open!" Omega yelled.
"Wait!" they all yelled.
"The door's about to fall apart." Duke said. "No need for haste."
"Very well." Omega conceded.
Duke kicked the door open.
The Bounty Hunter's lair was full of mounted trophies, rifles, and bullet proof vests.
"Looks deserted." Alexandria noted.
"Looks like Nack's working with..." Duke said. He saw bombs and a snow globe on a shelf. "Bean the Dynamite and Bark the Polar Bear?"
"His usual lackeys..." Alexandria grumbled.
"Let's get out of here." Rose said.
Nails took Thorn, Honey, and Kyle to her room at the Emerald Cove Hotel.
"You're friends of Midnight's?" Nails asked.
"Yeah," Honey said.
"How do you know her?" Kyle asked.
"I haven't seen Midnight since she was eleven. That was about four years ago." Nails said.
"That doesn't answer my question." Kyle said.
Nails sighed.
"I was um...friend's with her brother, Noon." Nails explained.
"So what happened to her brother?" Thorn asked.
"He and I were G.U.N. Operatives." Nails said.
"G.U.N. found some ancient tablet in the caves underneath Angel Island. It said that there was a piece of an ancient tome that explains the origins of some mystical beings." Nails said. "Problem is, the piece was in some place called...the Netherworld."
"Netherworld?" Thorn asked.
"I'm not quite sure on the specifics of it, but I think it's a place where souls with unfinished business end up." Nails said. "You know, the final bridge between life and death."
"So you're saying Noon's in there?" Kyle asked.
"If anyone can find Midnight, Noon can." Nails said.
"How did Noon end up in the Netherworld?" Honey asked.
"A portal between the worlds opened about two years ago. G.U.N. was sent to investigate it, and Noon went inside." Nails told them.
"So, you've spent, what, four years now, working as a bartender while a person you care about is trapped in the Netherworld?" Thorn asked.
"A girl's got to make a living." Nails replied, winking.
"Why didn't you open a portal yourself?" Thorn asked.
"I'm no sorceress." Nails said. "And, I don't have the key to enter the portal."
"What's the key?" Honey asked.
"An ancient charm." Nails said.
Thorn's eyes widened.
Nails' TV flashed to life.
"This just in." the reporter said. "It appears the Blue Ridge Zone has been surrounded by some sort of...purple fire!"
Nightshade, Mephiles, and Midnight walked on top of the highest building in the Blue Ridge Zone.
"This pitiful town will be a perfect gateway for the portal." Nightshade said. A black aura surrounded her, and a purple fire rose up around the town in the shape of a circle.
"Aperite portas 'inferi!"
The fire imploded among the Blue Ridge Zone, and a purple light opened up around the town.
"Shall we enter?" Midnight asked.
"Not yet." Nightshade said.
"First, we have other matters to attend to."Category:Sub-pages
