Running man: Darkness strikes back

Chapter 3: Battle at Pululu's palace

Liu's POV

We arrived at Pululu's Palace using the path the guardians gave us. After walking around a bit I heard Lonky saying "Hey Popo, your crush is here" Popo seem annoyed "What are you talking about?! I don't have a cru-" he then immediately looked where Lonky is pointing and he saw Sola "Focus guys! we need to find Spikes' teammate!" I said. Then we're greeted by King Sol and the markly crew "Hello running man! what brings you back to Pululu's palace?" He said "Well we're trying to find someone have you seen a non Pululu coming here?" I asked "A non Pululu? hmm..." he then began to stroke his chin trying to remember "Unfortunately you're the only non Pululu I've seen all day" he said "But if you want to find someone I suggest going to the arena" he added. "Well then we're going there" I said with excitement. Me and the others started running to the arena.

"Ok we're here everyone split up if you find a non Pululu call us and give us the location" I said "OK!" everyone said.  I found myself in Vivace's room and looked around "Man this is gonna take a while" I said

Kuga's POV 

I began searching in the room and saw a weird Pululu running around and I thought to myself "Meh that's not what I'm looking for" and walked away.

Lonky's POV

I started going in portals one after another to find this 'Partner'. After a few portals later I heard a sound "Popo? that's not funny you know come on out! I know it's you" I said and then I ran away and got bumped by Kuga "Lonky? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" he said while holding my neck I tried to say "Theres.. theres.. something over there!" and he dropped and said "There's nothing there go back and find Spikes' partner!" "O-ok.." I said.

Miyo's POV

I arrived in the room that I don't recognize where I saw pointy feathers being shot and I saw a Pululu running towards me like it's being chased and I saw an eagle flying towards me trying to capture the Pululu he had white hair, Yellow eyes, black feathers and a cape I began running away from the eagle and started calling everyone "Guys! I found the teammate meet me at Aria's room! I'll lure him there" I started grabbing the Pululu and making him follow me to Aria's room. I saw the others coming here as well and the eagle started talking "You guys are the running man are you? Spikes told me about your arrival. My name is Ace I came from the Aero tribe and I heard you want some information" "We do. Tell us what you're mission is!" Liu said "I'm afraid you have to battle me first" Ace added. Then he shot a bunch of feathers towards us and Liu started taking them out with his gun and Kuga began "SUPERPAW!!!" and Ace didn't even have a scratch! "Hah! you think a land creature like you can beat a flying bird? Think again!" Ace said. I then began using the power of the spirits and an echo said "SPIRIT OF FLIGHT!" "Hmm you can fly nice one I'll show you another thing that I can do!" Ace said. I saw him using his talons to try and bring me down and it worked I fell to the ground and Ace uses another one of his Talons. "MIYO!" everyone screamed. I tried to protect myself because it's too late to dodge as he finished his attack I feel like something no.. someONE protected me. I tried to open my eyes and I saw a figure wearing a black hoodie with a bright yellow lightning bolt pattern and a helmet I recognize anywhere "K..Kei?" I said
