Chapter 4: Punishments
Martin's POV
I stared at Igor in shock. Him? Gay? Out of all people, Igor would be the last person to be known as someone gay. But I still didn't speak. I don't ever want to. Everything I do makes me feel guilty for living, that I can live normally while Ally is in hell. I finally mustered uo the courage to speak and I asked,
"Really?" He responded,
"Yes."
Slugcat and Juvienne: BAHAHAHAHAHAHA XDXDXD
Igor: You're just mean....
"Have you been....." He seemed to know what I was going to say, because he replied,
"Yeah. Been gay soon after I met you." I asked,
"Why me? I'm such an idiot, I can't even save my own friend-" He cut me off. He told me,
"Martin Storm. You need to put yourself together. Ever since Ally died, I've been making sure you don't do anything drastic. But you've changed. Completely. The Martin I know was brave, cunning, talented, loyal, and most of all, carefree and happy. But now, with Ally gone, you've changed, the stress, the pain, the sorrow you hold inside yourself exposed. You don't even try to look happy, you barely even come out from your room, you just sut there and prevent yiurself from forming your lips into a smile. The smile I know that has meaning. It represents the joy in your heart, which many of us want to see again. Kelian, Striker, Anty, everyone, they want to see you smile that happy smile again, including me. And Ally wouldn't have wanted to see you like this. She would do whatever she could to make you happy again, because she's your best friend, maybe she loved you. I think she did love you. The way she looked at you sometimes, when you weren't looking, and has she ever scolded you? Has she ever raged at you like she does at everyone else when they get her too angry?" I thought about it. She didn't. I shook my head and he continued.
"And you think you've suffered much? I was a cancer patient before I met you. I had skin cancer. The doctors told me I couldn't be healed. Apollo couldn't interfere, no matter how much he wanted to. I seperated myself from others, not wanting to hurt anyone else when I died. I was bullied, hurt. But then you came along and helped me. Then just 2 months ago, they told me I was very lucky. They found a cure only for my blood type. They did the operation. It was painful. But you taught me to hold on to life, and I did. I owe my life to you." I asked,
"You....you were a cancer patient?" He nodded.
"But you seemed so....happy, all the time." He chuckled.
"My years with Ally taught me a few things, and one of them was acting. Ally was quite the actor, she had to cover up for Ashley all the time. She always went out to steal stuff from the market." Suddenly, there was an explosion. Anthony came flying between us. With his grav, he stopped himself from hitting the ground hard and lowered himself down.
"Aqua....invasion....." He panted. He was nearly passing out, he had wounds all over, a bruise on his head and his eyes glassy with pain. Igor said,
"He's not dying, just worn out. Anthony, sleep, it'll help." He tried to move, but his legs gave way and he fell.
"No...I'm fine...." He got up, got his sword and went back to battle. Igor unsheathed his dagger and I brought out my dagger, made out of vitalis crystal as a symbol of friendship to Ally. We went to battle. It was mayhem.
Leo Shane's POV
Demigod dreams suck. They really do. But here, they're a thousand times worse. I wonder how Percy and Annabeth survived, honestly. No wonder they're inseperable. Tartarus was designed to kill. The ground was broken glass, the water is despair and pain, and the air is acid. But being with Alana comforted me. She reminded me that some things were worth living for. She was one of the few things I live for, and she kept me going.
"Leo?" She asked. I replied,
"Yes, Alana?" She warned me,
"I thought I heard something." We both got our weapons. Three old grannies on wings swooped down and landed in front of us.
"The Furies." I muttered. One of them grinned.
"Ah, if it isn't Will Shane's youngest child and Zeus's spawn, Di Sandero Leonardo Shane. Pity Will Shane didn't come into Tartarus. A lot of people wanted to punish him, you know. It's a shame he achieved Elysium." I growled.
"DON'T YOU DARE INSULT MY FATHER." I threatened and advanced towards the 3 fools. They cackled and I slashed one of them. It screamed in pain and fell down. I was about to cause her more pain when the other 2 slashed me with their whips. I fell down, the pain I felt was too unbearable.
"Stupid boy. All the Shanes have been on our punishment list. But you'll be taking your brother's and your father's punishments as well as your own!! CRUCIO!!" White hot knives seared into my skin and sunk deep. I yelled in pain. Alana ran to me, trying to help, but all she could do was watch.
"Dana Blakk. You killed her by stabbing her in the head." Suddenly, Eli appeared in front of me.
"Leo....." He muttered when he saw me. He ran towards me and was about to hug me.
Then came the most brutal death I have ever seen.
Eli's head cracked open, and his brain was chopped up. Then his chest was split open and his heart was eaten. His eyes were dug out and all that remained were two black sockets.
Eli: EW GROSS
Ally: *gags and vomits* Oh gods...*pukes again*
Igor: THAT'S GROSS
Martin: *holds Ally's hair back and pats her back* I nearly choked when I saw that! O.O
JBV: O.o
Ally: *goes to bedroom and lies down* Uhhh...
"NO!!" I shouted and knelt by Eli. Alana was shouting something, but I didn't care. Eli was gone. The Furies cackled.
"This is only the beginning, Shane. Thaddius Blakk. Killed by Eli Shane, a Goon Doc to the chest." I felt a sharp pain in my chest and a sickening crack. Then another. And another, more painful than the next. All my 24 rib were broken and my whole chest was blue. And throbbing with pain. My skin split open and I yelled in agony.Alana tried to help, but she and I were seperated by the River Lethe. One exclaimed,
"One of my favorites! Hehehe......Michael di Angelo, father of Twist di Angelo. Fell to death in a spiky pit by being chased by Will Shane." Spikes pierced through my skin.
Igor: *winces* Ouch
Harry: I feel for you bro
Percy: I was 5 years older than him when this happened to me, and this may be worse, so I understand if he can't handle the pain....plus, he has to take Eli's and Will Shane's punishments.....ouch
I screamed in utter pain. Spikes pierced my arms, legs and stomach. I was lightheaded with blood loss and pain. I struggled to stay conscious. The Furies laughed again.
"Time for the big guns! Emily Blakk, killed by Allyson Venne Héroe while saving you." Alana let out a terrifying scream. White hot knifes went through Alana. NO. NO. NO. I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS THIS PUNISHMENT. SHE HAD TO SUFFER TJE PAIN EMILY SUFFERED. And that included heartbreak. The knives disappeared, but she was still in pain. She got up. I tried to get to her, but invisible chains held me back. I watched in pure fury as one of the Furies morphed into a perfect replica of me and walked towards Alana.
Alana's POV
I staggered and supported myself on a rock. All my muscles screamed in protest. Leo sniggered and walked to me, blaster in hand. He aimed it at me. A chill spread throught my body as he aimed a Goon Doc at me.
"Stupid, stupid girl. You taught I would ever love a freak like you?" I heard a distant voice shout my name.
Cyan: This isn't the Leo I know
Eli: This isn't Leo. It isn't.
Harry: I may not have known him for long, but I know that Alana's more important to him than anything. Once I insulted her on ACCIDENT, and Leo kicked me in the - - - - and punched me twice before Alana stopped him. Heck, he might as well would have killed me
Ally: CUZ LEOLANA LE BEST
"Leo, this isn't you." I told him. He gave out a deep, dark laugh.
"Or is it? You never knew Alana, I've been playing you all. I am a Shane, yes, but Slugterra's destruction is my glory. Protecting it, ugh. Now, where was I? Oh yeah. Killing you. Any last wo-you know what? Screw last words. Bye."
Leo Shane's POV
I finally broke free of my chains, jumped over the River Lethe somehow, but I didn't care. I ran to the fake me and punched it. It morphed into one of the Furies. Stupid fools.
"DON'T YOU DARE EVEN TOUCH MY GIRLFRIEND AGAIN, YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!!!" I yelled and kicked the unconscious Fury.
Cyan: There's the Leo I know
Eli, Harry and Ally: Yep
The other two snarled as they advanced towards us. One inqired,
"You just made a big mistake, Leonardo Shane. Diablous Nacho, tricked by Will Shane, which led to his torture and death. The Furies lashed at me with their talons and whips. I tried to dodge them all, but they were too fast. I got a few, some on my back, some on my arms and legs, and one on my face. I couldn't shout again. And I couldn't give in. Eli needs to know that I'm alive. And I have to get Alana out of here even if it takes my life.
"Alana!" I shouted while dodging. She was trying to help me, stabbing the Furies with her dagger.
"Yea?" She replied, stabbing a Fury on the back. I tossed her Ally's dagger.
"Get out of here." I ordered. She protested,
"No. We are getting out of here together or we die trying." I responded,
"It's not safe!! You need to get out of this alive." Some rocks came out of nowhere and fell onto the Furies. I kissed her soft lips for a last time.
"I love you, Alana. Now go!!" The Furies came out from the rubble. One of them taunted,
"You think that if you die, we'll spare your little girlfriend? Kronos is rising yet again, and he will CRUSH her before she even takes a breath." I took Ally's dagger and stabbed a Fury in the head. I was about to turn around when a talon went through my chest and I went spinning in darkness.
Harry's POV
We were fighting gorgons and empusai, according to Luna, but whatever these were, they were strong. I wonder how demigods fight these. I cast spells like crazy, every harmful spell I knew. I had a bronze sword, but I didn't use it because it was too heavy, and I was a TERRIBLE swordsman. The sword of Gryffindor was ages ago. More than 20 years ago. I was fighting a gorgon when I was a woman sobbing, a guy's head on her lap. The girl had blue streaks in her hair. Blue streaks in her hair. Alana and Leo.
"ALPHA!!" I yelled. She shouted in reply,
"I'm dealing with crazy stuff here, make it quick!!" I exclaimed,
"I FOUND ALANA AND LEO!!" I heard a punch and mentally winced. I saw a gorgon running towards me. I pointed my wand at it and shouted,
"SECTUMSPEMSRA!!" I ignored its agonizing screams. Hermione came out of nowhere and punched an empusai. Ron ran towards us and we three ran to the two people. The girl, Alana was sobbing while mumbling something. The guy, which I learnt was Leo, resembled Eli, but his hair was different. Eli's hair was raven black, but Leo's was chocolate brown. He was fairly muscluar, from what I could make out from the wounds he had. But what scared me the most were his blank eyes and the hole in his chest. My worst fears were that he was gone.
"Harry Potter." She muttered. I replied,
"I am, but what happened to you both?" She sniffed and replied,
"The Furies. They...they killed him......" she sobbed. Hermione hugged her and a pang of regret shot my heart. I actually loved Hermione. I loved her with all my heart. But she didn't love me. She loved Ron, and he loved her back. True love is about seeing the person you love happy, no matter how much it pains you. And I truly loved Hermione. Ginny loved me, I knew that, but I only thought of her as a sister. I imagined a future for me and Hermione, but it was crushed to beoken dreams when she wed Ron. I cried during that wedding, but it wasn't tears of happiness. Ron and I tried to find his pulse, but we couldn't find anything.
It was the painful truth.
Di Sandero Leonardo Shane was dead.
Alana: *cries* WHY?!?
Eli: WELL FUCK THE FURIES
Jason: ALLY! WHY THE FUCK!!
Ally: I'M SORRY OK I'M ALSO CRYING AND IT WAS FOR THE SAKE OF THE PLOT
Martin: I'm also against the fact he's gone, but you don't deserve to shout at her all because of a plot! THE FATES CONTROLS 70% OF PLOT MAKING, DO YOU EVEN KNOW THAT?!? THEY MIGHT HAVE TWISTED ALLY'S PLOT AND KILLED LEO!! SO STOP BLAMING HER FOR EVERYTHING!! *turns to Ally* Come on Ally *wraps arm around Ally and leads her to her room*
Leo S: Plus, the first 3 OC's that Ally made have previliges to always be in after story chats and minor books, like FFB. I'm the thrid OC Ally made.
Eli: I thought you were the second!
Leo S: I was thrid, Kyle was made before me
Alana: Thank god Leo....*hugs him*
Leo S: *hugs Alana back*
Ashley: Martin's right guys. No one should shout at Ally for this. If you do, you'll have to deal with me. Ally and I have the same powers, and I was based off her, so WATCH OUT.
Leo S and Alana: *seperate and kiss for a while, then let go*
Leo S: I am offically scared of Ashley O.O and this isn't Ally's fault
Chi Yi: On behalf of Ally, bb!
