Chapter 6: Micheads
Slime Tutorial falters, falling to his knees. “I need… More splooge… please!”
Slime Tutorial would be struck and beaten by two bodyguards.
The congressman laughs. “Putangina… Splooge Addict… This is why Narciso is a good man for the War on Splooge. I have the sole judicial authority for extrajudicially killing you.”
“Fuck…”
Suddenly, the Congressman fell down, dead… There…. Was Lord Marvel, who helped Slime Tutorial up.
The first bodyguard hammers a shovel into his head, but both guards were torn to pieces…
Today…
The Aswang, Myrmex, Lord Marvel, and Slime Tutorial snuck into the massive palace, which was very much abandoned.
The Governor, whose body was wired to the high ceiling, brought the Outsiders out from the cages beneath and proceeded to slaughter them, one by one.
The four of them hear clapping, and clapping, and more clapping.
Each Michead clapped, using echolocation to tell each other where their target once. It was like a choir of claps that passed by, each like a train charging past you, only for the claps to go back. And when they came back…
A bird just happened to pass by, fluttering its wings from outside the castle. The bird was a cosmic hawk, of which it would be mauled by the Micheads. And the bird would scream in horror, then silence.
The four, however, only saw… darkness for a short second, seeing these creatures for a split second. These Micheads have blood all over their teeth, and kept clapping their white, bloodied pearls together, and with a flash of light, the four of them see their bulgeoned faces with mic-like lines on their foreheads, no eyes, and salivating teeth that made such claps.
The Aswang, Myrmex, Slime Tutorial, and Lord Marvel, traveled into the heart of darkness.

Then, they hear the claps going closer.
Suddenly, something struck Slime Tutorial, causing his head to elongate and crash into the wall.
His grey matter leaked. Luckily, he can regenerate.
Lord, however, was not as lucky. Lord would be struck and would have some of his stone skin chip off, causing him to angrily roar and leave their line of vision, entering the darkness.
They hear the trail of claps again, and the creatures with bulging foreheads emerging from the dark corners of the horizon, and upon each flash was like a still frame of them walking closer.
Myrmex, however, smelled the scent of the two lost souls.
She smelled their sweat and grabbed The Aswang’s hand.
The Aswang also knew how to navigate. He himself can see with his eyes closed. His ticking wings allowed him to see in the darkness with sound. He walked forward. She walked forward.
The duo charged.
Claps again. They heard and ran like a train rushing toward them.
The Aswang blasts flames at them, their faces melting.
The screech of one was so loud that a horde of claps began charging toward… them… from every corner.
The Aswang burned one in the distance with his flames of light, and the flashes changed direction.
The Aswang and Myrmex began running. The claps began to go closer, but the Aswang and Myrmex jump up, somersaulted, and wallcrawled on the ceiling.
But, to their horror, the Micheads began to leave the ground. And, they hear clapping.
This time…
“THEY’RE ON THE CEILING!!!” yelled The Aswang.
Myrmex gives a deafening screech as the Aswang creates an armor of flames around them.
The Aswang carries Myrmex and charges forward, using his Lightning Eyes skill to flick the tiniest muscles and make each Michead he encounters die.
The Aswang and Myrmex would then get cut and wounds all over their skin, which practically peel off from their flesh.
They grunt in pain.
The Aswang, seeing her in pain, begins slaughtering these soulless creatures, just hammering their skulls and tearing them to pieces.
The Aswang transforms into what he should be, an aswang, and slaughters them while bursting flames, their screeches turning from ones to call for a meal to a call for mercy.
And… they reach Slime Tutorial and Lord, who had hid in a small opening at the bottom/
Slime Tutorial and Lord Marvel meet with the other two, the Aswang and Myrmex, and they pant in horror.
“Shit…” said the Aswang. “Now, what?”
Slime Tutorial smiles. “We wait for help…”
Lord smiles, giving him a soft nod.
