2. The Hell Fire Marble
By: Inuki **Ookami**

Everything was black. Inuki moaned as he slowly awakened. They had gone through the game once more. Now
they were in an odd world. They had entered a game called Vampire City because Tri-Link said that as he himself was
a vampire it couldn't be that dangerous. Inuki was hesitant, and said that if any vampire tried to drink his blood or
something that he would literally kill Tri-Link. As they awakened they found themselves infront of a strange frozen
cave. They stood up, and walked towards the ice cave. They entered the cave, and looked around. Inside the cave
were thousands of glittering jewels. There were also two very odd, seemingly misplaced items. A large statue of a
strange creature which Inuki knew as an "Ice Avatar". Behind the statue sat an even strange object. An open golden
chest, full of rubies and and diamonds and other jewels. "Wow." Tri-Link mouthed. He stepped towards the statue
and chest. Suddenly there was a loud rumbling. The entrance had somehow been sealed! Large rocks fells across
the entrance as it collapsed inwards. Suddenly the statue began to glow a strange white colour. "Uh-oh" muttered
Tri-Link in a very worried voice. The huge Ice Avatar statue, which stood at least ten feet tall, was slowly cracking.
Huge shards of ice crumbled as a strange, almost furry looking creature emerged. Although the fur wasn't really fur
at all, it was thin spikes made of ice, and it only looked like fur. It had glowing blue-white eyes, and no pupils nor iris.
The two stood shocked in absolute fear. It rumbled in a loud voice as it spoke to them. "Who is trying to steal my treasure?
You think you can have my treasure? Hah! We'll see about that!" the two stood, their mouths agape, eyes wide open, staring.
"Excuse me sir, but we don't want any treasure, we just wanted to pass through." the creature stared at them for a moment,
then shook with laughter.

"Surely you are joking, what kind of trickery is this? There is no one in this entire world who wouldn't want my treasure!" he grunted.
"Well you see we're not from thi-" Tri-Link was cut off by Inuki's hand over his mouth. Inuki gave Tri-Link an angry look, and Tri-Link closed his mouth.
"Alright, fine you big lug. Let's fight then. We'll demolish you!" Inuki shouted impulsively. And so the battle between them began. Unfortunately the Ice Avatar was alot stronger than Inuki could have ever imagined.
