Cube

Alexandra snored loudly, echoing within the sewer walls. "I'm gonna kill myself, I'm gonna kill myself, I'm gonna kill myself," Drache repeated to himself as he had his head tilted down, Alexandra in his arms.

"Are we there yet?" Alexandra woke up and looked around, seeing pitch black. "Guess not..." 

"CAN'T YOU WALK FOR YOURSELF?" Drache drops Alexandra onto the floor. 

"Ugh, c'mon... I'm tired." Alexandra went back to sleep. "Oh but you know," Alexandra woke up again, "If you promise to carry me to the end of the dungeon, I'll kill the boss for you, deal?" Alexandra stood up, there was no residue or goo on her tunic. 

"Uh... sure." Drache had no other choice.

Alexandra then went back to sleep. 

Drache sighed and picked her up from the ground. 

"Drache?" Drache walked into a cross-section with 3 split paths. "Drache!" Kreel and Bob called out to Drache who was standing on the ceiling.

"How-" Drache scratched his head.

"Who's that girl?" Bob squatted down, sitting down on the ceiling.

"Oh, her name is Alexandra, she's a Venator like us." Drache slapped Alexandra.

"Huh?" Alexandra woke up and looked up, seeing Kreel and Bob standing on the ceiling. "Cool..." She said with her eyes squinted.

"Where did you guys come from?" Drache asked Bob.

"We just came from there." Bob pointed backwards. "There's nothing there." 

"Well.. there are 2 other paths..." Drache looked at the two paths on either side of the tunnel. "How about we split up?" 

"And die?" Kreel interrupted.

"Heyyyyy... don't be scared. You three can take on the left, and I'll take on the right." Alexandra got out of Drache's arms.

"Still don't know who you are." Bob crossed his arms.

"My name is Alexandra." She tried to give Bob a handshake but then she realised that he was sitting down on the ceiling. "Nevermind..." 

"Shall we go our separate ways then? Me, Drache and Kreel will take left and you'll take right." Bob stood up.

"Right." Alexandra walked to the left and continued walking.

Bob gave out a big sigh. He pointed to the right and signalled the two of them to walk in that direction.

Alexandra had her arms behind her back, humming a tune. "Oh come out monsters!" Alexandra was teasing the monsters. Out of the corner of her eye, she notices a small spider monster clinging to the top of the ceiling, avoiding Alexandra. "Why hello," Alexandra said with a sinister grin.

The spider immediately got scared and started running in the opposite direction of Alexandra. 

"GOTCHA!" Alexandra's fists appeared through the ceiling, grabbing the spider by the neck. Alexandra was still standing where she was, her arm was stuck inside a portal. She had her tongue out as if she was looking for something.

The spider started panicking and writhing.

"DON'T BE SHY!" Alexandra pulled her hand out of the portal, pulling the spider out with her. 

"Hmm..." Alexandra looked the spider straight in the eye. "You're pretty freaky..." Alexandra shrugged her shoulders. "Eh, you'll taste fine anyway." She took the whole spider and shoved it in her mouth. She waited slowly, chewing gradually. She swallowed and let out a big burp. "Maaaan! I'm stuffed!" Alexandra sat down and opened up her inventory. She scrolled through it unimpressed until she found a pillow. 

"Oh right, I'm meant to kill the boss." Alexandra stood up and sighed, continuing her way onwards.

"This isn't creepy at all." Bob and Kreel were standing upside down and walking while Drache was standing on the floor and walking. "Where are we even going?" Kreel opened up the map. A little marker had appeared on where they were. They were making steady progress in clearing the dungeon.

A buzzing sound could be heard. It seemed like it came from Bob's pocket. "My bad." Bob took his phone out and answered the call. "Not yet. Are you sure?" Bob looked at Kreel and Drache with a worried expression, he quickly turned back and continued the call. "Fine." The person hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" Kreel asked Bob.

"Oh, nothing." Bob was hiding something from the two of them. He started walking quicker and extended the gap between him and Kreel. 

Kreel and Drache looked at each other, and they both shrugged it off. 

"Hey guys, look at that." Bob alerted the gang, they had reached the end of the tunnel. The tunnel is connected to a giant room which has pipes in several directions being linked to it. 

"Isn't this cool?" Drache let out a pink beam from his hand. It slightly lit up the dark room but the beam ricocheted off the walls of the room and went back towards Drache. 

"Feisty." Drache blocked his own attack. It burnt through his coat. 

"Well, there's no other way than up I guess." Bob leapt and jumped off the tunnel, landing in the ceiling with a large thud. 

"You alright buddy?" Drache looked up.

"Perfectly fine," Bob said with a sarcastic tone. 

"Here goes nothing." Drache leapt and fell into the puddle of water which was just a few feet below him.

'[Cube Of Discourse]' His screen read. Suddenly, the room filled with an ominous red colour. It illuminated the entire room and they could see one another. In the middle of the room was a giant cube that was floating. It seemed to resemble that of a Rubik's cube. From its cracks, it spewed out red light. 

"Is that a Rubik's cub-" Kreel was cut off by the top part of the cube shifting, causing the gravity to change ever so slightly. Kreel could feel the gravity changing and he was pushed off the edge of the tunnel. He hung on for dear life as he was pulled downwards. Drache was flung to the side of the room, colliding with the walls. Bob, on the other hand, was perfectly stable. He had found a groove in the top of the ceiling where he hid. 

"We need to attack the cube! It can shift the gravity!" Bob jumped out of the hiding space and landed on the extreme side of the cube. 

"Will this do anything?" Drache shot a shot out of his hand and as the beam made contact with the cube, it shifted it ever so slightly but it seemed to change the gravity a little bit. 

"[1000-Year-Old Tree]!" Kreel clapped his hands, summoning several branches behind him that pierced through the cube's exterior. 

'298871/300000 HP'

The cube shifted once again. Within an instant, Drache and Bob both started attacking the cube, using their fists and their magic abilities.

"[Chains Of Withholding]!" Bob changed when he placed his hand on the cube. From the ceiling, giant chains appeared and penetrated through the cube.

"AHHHHHHHH-" Alexandra was being thrown against the wall, the floor and the ceiling from the shift of the gravity.
