~Helluva Boss : SweetTooth Coast~

~Chapter 6 : The Gluttony Crystal~

Blitzo : Wow, you look like you aren't doing so hot..

Candy : ...Thanks.

She stand, covering her bitten arm with her other hand, Millie smacks him on the shoulder.

Carter : *Runs up to them* oh, glad to see you're okay, that wonderful, that whole experience was horrible.

Candy : Yeah, you too.

Moxxie : Well now everyone's okay still, if I can ask, WHAT the flogging figs was that thing that attacked us!?

Millie : Well..upon looking at its features, it looks like an orca, a killer whale, but it has a body of a lion maybe? Some kind of land animal.

Candy : Actually..i think I know what it was that attack us..That's licorice, one of Lukas's "Special" henchmen, or in better terms, his special pet, a spirit that lives near him, follows him in all causes, and is always around, so there's nothing to make that deadly dire orca stay away from Lukas and-

But then, she paused all of the sudden.

Candy : Wait...how did Licorice know we're here? It can't be possible that she even knew, or find us here.

Blitzo : Well I mean, if this thing has good sense of smell, it is common for animals to know a certain thing.

Candy : But it makes no sense, we weren't heading the same direction as...oh no, if licorice is close by, that means, we need to move!

Candy rushes back up and head down to the tunnel, the Imps and Carter followed her inside.

Moxxie : What, what's the matter? Where are you Going?

Candy : We must hurry up, if it means that one of Lukas's troops are here, we can't be far, quickly now, let's get moving!

She's now freaking out, knowing the sign that Lukas may be close, and he's after the crystal, they came to the end of the temple, to where the same ancient temple stood place, they all looked at it.

Blitzo : Woah, holy crap! Are you guys seeing this?

Millie : Yeah, I don't think we've seen this before, could this mean?-

But Millie was cut off when candy ran inside the temple, they all followed her once more, as the rushed pirate still runs, the others got in and head down to a trail, inside they ran down the path, but they soon ended up coming across the rubble blocking the way out.

Candy tries to look around to see what other option there is to get through, she starts to pull off the rocks, digging through to make an opening for her and the others to get through, she did make a small opening for her to pass through, she crawls through, squeezing out of the rocks to jumps down to the ground, the others did the same, but Moxxie was having a bit of trouble, so Millie had to help him, before both landed down to the ground.

Blitzo : Hehe, had trouble back there, did you gain some pounds in you?

He laughs, Moxxie grunts.

Moxxie : Shut up! The hole was too small for me alright.

Candy saw there was a doorway leading the stoned steps of the stairs, she ran to them and the others saw her go up, they all did, following her up, they made it to the upper ground, then candy faces with something she wasn't expecting, she saw Lukas, holding a crystal in his hands, with the others watching, and couldn't wait to gain its power, Candy's eyes open, she couldn't believe in her eyes, the real gluttony crystal, now held by one of the pirates, the other saw the scene.

Moxxie : So..it is really real, that gluttony crystal, is it?

Candy : Yes..That's the one, and those goons are there too!
