Chapter 6: Deal
Max was running at full speed, while cursing how there weren't any tunnels for options.
He had hoped to confuse the big guy by running in different tunnels, but the path before him was a single big tunnel running to who knows where.
"I should have made more of these tunnels," Max muttered. "That aside, what are those two doing? They aren't stupid enough to fight it, right?"
His guess proved correct right when he heard the loud thumping behind him. He sighed, "I guess we can co-operate."
[You just wanna take advantage of the situation, don't you?]
"How dare you question a gentleman like me?" Max would have loved to tease her more, but the ground shaking below him was reminding him of the danger closing in.
[Sure, sure, I believe you. Now, deal with the big guy!]
Max didn't say anything, but there was a small smile present on his face. He continued running through the underground cave that took many turns and had ups and downs but never branched out.
It frustrated him, but he held on and waited until he heard footsteps coming closer to him. He smiled and slowed his speed slightly, so that the two ladies could catch up to him. Well, they were of a higher level than him so it wouldn't take long for them to catch up anyway.
Stelle saw the familiar back and shouted, "Hey, what did you do to piss off such a big guy?"
"False allegations," Max scoffed, as he ran slightly ahead of the others. "I did nothing. That guy just wants to eat my handsome face because it's ugly. Jealous bastard!"
