Nat screamed as she ran back down the spying staircase, the air dragon spawn happily running with her.
This is nuts! First, they got attack by some dead person and now Isaac has gone nuts! The person she taught for protection suddenly became her worst nightmare!
She and the baby dragon to ran down the stairway as Dark Isaac and the lust mummy gave chase.
Dark's Isaac's body might be a little slower then Nat but the converted mummy was surprisingly nimble.
Before Nat and her new pet dragon could escape, the converted mummy extended it's glowing purple straps and managed to grab both Nat and the baby air dragon.
"I have you now! Minion! bring them closer!" Dark Isaac commanded.
Nat and the baby dragon struggle as they were back up the steps.
'...grab the pen....' Nat blinked in confusion.
'...grab the pen!' the voice called again.
What is the strange voice in her head? Is it talking the magic pen she took from the witch's mansion?
Luckily, Nat's hand was wrapped against her pocket. So it was only a mater of slipping her hand into the pocket and grabbing the pen. But her are is wrapped tightly against her waist. She was barley able to pull her hand out of her pocket.
So she grabbed the pen and pulled it out of her cloud pocket.
Now what?
'Now you let me guild you." The strange mental voice said.
Suddenly, the sword in Nat's pen transformed into a sword! Luckily, Nat held on to the blade as it cut through the converted mummy's straps.
Nat and the baby air dragon were dropped just a few steps below dark Isaac.
Dark Isaac grinned with malice. "Now. To give you a proper hole."
Dark Isaac doesn't know that Nat was a late bloomer. He just assumed she already reached maturity.
As Dark Isaac went to remove Nat's cloths, Nat's sword hand suddenly moved on it's own and knocked away Dark Isaac's hand before he can touch her.
Dark Isaac yelled in rage as he took back his hand. It was bleeding purple blood.
"Y-you bitch! Alright, I'm trying to make you my slave! You're better off dead!" Dark Isaac screamed.
Dark Isaac held out his hand towards the baby air dragon.
"Kill the cloud girl my spawn!" Dark Isaac commanded.
But the dragon didn't move. It just blinked in confusion. Despite being the lust demon's spawn, it seems it has no connection to Dark Isaac.
This revelation confused Dark Isaac. He thought his soul had a part Azaviel! Maybe the baby can recognize that Dark Isaac is different from Azaviel.
Dark Isaac growled in frustration.
Looks like he has to do this the old fashioned way.
Dark Isaac commanded the converted mummy to let Dark Isaac take care of this fight. He held out his hand and spawned a glowing purple crystal sword.
Dark Isaac wasted no time and started swinging his sword at Nat.
Nat gasped as the sword in her sword hand moved on it's own and blocked Dark Isaac's powerful swing.
Soon, the fight evolved into a full blown sword fight with Nat dodging and parrying.
With how fast the battle was moving, it took Nat a moment to realize that her body is moving on it's own!
'No it's not. You're controlling you're body just find. You have the latent reflexes of a swordsman. I'm just guiding your movements in accordance to your inherited muscle memory.'
"W-who are you?" Nat tried to speak, but the clashing of swords drowned out her words.
'My name is Excalibur. I'm the deity of Clarity. I am currently speaking to you through your mind so no one other then you can hear me. Do you see the yellow gem embedded to the hilt of tour sword?' The strange voice asked.
It was hard to see her hand moving at lighting fast speeds to counter Dark Isaac's strikes. But eventually, see was able to see he hand wrapped around the yellow gem embedded on the hilt.
'That yellow gem is were I reside. I am the sword you are holding now. I was willingly sealed in the yellow gem many years ago. When you touched me, you and I formed a connection. You and I will be able to communicate as as long we have that connection.'
'Why are you helping me?' Nat mentally asked.
'Because I have chosen you. You are compatible enough to weld my power. You are one of the prophesied heroes who will purge the multiverse of corruption.' Excalibur explained.
'Whoa. How could I be a hero if I STOLE you?' Nat asked.
The sword let out a mental sigh. 'I wouldn't be able to take me if you were not chosen. I CHOSE to come with you.'
Nat was confused. Why would a former town librarian like her be chosen for some crazy prophesy?
Excalibur decided to change subjects. 'See that floating metal ring up there? You must strike me against the red gem embedded on the ring!'
Nat nodded in understanding. Movement started feeling more natural as she willing moved with her sword fighting body.
But Dark Isaac must have noticed Nat was after the Halo because he started menuvering himself between the Halo and Nat.
Try as she might, not even the combined stregth of Nat and Excalibur could out menuver Dark Isaac's blocks.
...
Mary waited patiently for someone to answer the front door.
Just a few minutes ago, she was searching the forest for Nat and Isaac. That was until she thought about what that old lady said and how the doors and windows of the mansion shut by themselves. There was something about what the old lady said that didn't sit well with Mary. Why would her mansion seal itself if the old lady was going after Isaac and Nat outside. Then she thought about how she seamlessly disappeared. On the off chance the old lady teleported, then there might be a chance she teleported Isaac and Nat into her mansion!
So Mary ran back to the mansion only to hear voices behind the front door. She tried to eavesdrop but she couldn't understand a single word. She did made out Isaac and Nat's voices coming from inside the mansion. She tried opening the door but it was locked. So she tried breaking the door. When that didn't work, she tried hitting it repeatably. She only succeeded in bruising her fists. Not even her sword could place a scratch on the door!
Eventually, she realized she has to resort to drastic measures...
She pulled the doorbell rope in hopes of someone letting her in.
...no response. She could only hear silence from within.
She waited for a few minutes in case someone let's her in.
...she started growing impatient.
Mary decided to pull the door rope again. If this doesn't work, then she has to look around the yard and find a way to break in.
So she pulled the doorbell rope for the second time.
...
Sudenly, the bell has rung again, forcing Nat and Dark Isaac to cover their ears. The sea of dust back down to ground level vibrated under the intence vibrations.
'Now's our chance!' Excalabur urged.
Enduring the deafening noise, Nat was able to climb on top of a stunded Isaac. The mummy made no move to stop Nat as it was ordered not to interfer.
Nat was now in range of the metal halo. Through Xcalubur's mental guidance, she lunged from the top of Dark Isaac's head and up to the Halo.
Nat's sword striked down on the red gem as a blinding red and yellow flashed breaifly iluninated the room.
...Dark Isaac and Isaac were both unconscious. They probably won't wake up for a few hours.
