Running man: Darkness strikes back

Chapter 18: Tala

Popo's POV

<Halfway up the mountain>

"We must be near the mountain now!" I said "It's only half of it" Pala said "WHYYYYY????" I said "Can you carry me?" I asked "No" Pala said "How about golden Pala?" I said "Hey... you're right!" Pala said and then drink a potion. He then shines bright gold and run straight up without me. "HEY! I MEANT GOLDEN PALA TO CARRY ME!" I yelled

<Top of the mountain> Pala's POV

"Well, we're here. The top of the mountain." I said and realized Popo isn't here "Popo? Where are you?" I asked

Popo's POV

I saw Pala at the top of the mountain and this is the point where I just want to lay down and die. "Popo! You made it!" Pala said "Whatever let's get the scroll and go back to tree city" I said. "TALA!!! WHERE ARE YOU???" Pala yelled. I then sat to a rock because I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo exhausted (Count how many Os. The winner gets a spoiler for the next book 🤭A/N)

Then the rock went down like a button and a secret passage way is revealed "Huh... Cliché" I said. "Pala! I found Tala!" I said. "Ooh where?" Pala asked "Inside there" I said pointing the way. We then went inside the passage way and found a giant lab. And I mean sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (Count how many Os is this one A/N) Big "Why do you think Tala made a lab this big?" I asked "Maybe for creating a giant. We Impas like to create new things" Pala said. 

We then heard footsteps coming from outside and saw an old Impa carrying potions. "ROBBERS!" He gasps. "GET OUT OF HERE YOU INTRUDER!!!" The Impa said and started whacking me with his cane "WHY DO I ALWAYS GET TORTURED???" I cried. "Hey! Who are you?" Pala asked "My name is Tala. Now get out of my lab! I'm creating a giant!" The Impa said "Wait you're Tala? The one from the original 5?" I asked and he stopped whacking me "Yeah why?" Tala asked "You're a lot older than I expected... What are you 1000? 9999? 10.001?" I asked and he seems surprised and started whacking me again "THAT IS JUST RUDE!" He said "Ok ok I'll stop" I said and he stopped whacking me. 

"So you climb all this way to find me?" Tala asked and we nodded "Aww you don't have to!" Tala asked "I know but this is important" Pala said "No I mean seriously you don't have to. I made an elevator right next to the mountain" Tala said pointing to the elevator and what did I do? Laying down on the floor crying. "WHY IS MY LIFE SO MISERABLE???? WHYYYYYYY????" I cried "Anyway, why did you come here to find me?" Tala asked "We need to find... the scroll" Pala said "So you seek the scroll?" Tala asked "Yes... the scroll" Pala said "You mean that scroll?" Tala asked "You know what scroll I'm talking about" Pala said "JUST GIVE US THE MAGIC SCROLL OLD TIMER!" I said and covered my mouth "Oh no-" I said and Tala whacks me again "DON'T BE RUDE TO YOUR ELDERS!!!" Tala yelled

"Wait so you're here for the magic scroll?" Tala asked "Yes." Pala said "Well unfortunately I have burn it" Tala said "WAIT WHAT?!" I yelled "SIKE! I still got it" Tala said holding the scroll. "Fiuh..." Me and Pala sighed "DOUBLE SIKE! This one is a fake! I really burn the real one" Tala said "WHAT?!" We yelled "BUT WHY? THAT SCROLL IS SO POWERFUL!" I said "Which is why it should be destroyed. We don't want it to fall into the wrong hands" Tala said "Well guess what? It will! There's a bunch of people out there who wants the scroll!" I said "So... shouldn't it stay destroyed?" Tala asked "Well yeah... but...." I said "No buts! Now get out of my lab!" Tala said "BUT PLEASE! GIVE US THE SCROLL! FOR THE SAKE OF THIS BOOK! OR THE AUTHOR WILL KILL US!" I yelled "Heck yeah I will" The author said (Ok I think that's enough 4th wall breaking for this chapter A/N)

"Ok fine. For the sake of this book" Tala said "I SAID NO MORE 4TH WALL BREAKING!" The Author said. "So how will we get the scroll back?" I asked "Simple. We use a spell" Tala said "Ok what spell are we talking about?" Pala asked "The revival from burning spell" Tala said. "Wait that kind of spell existed?" I asked "Shut up and listen. We need fire, candles and a paper" Tala said "Hey look all we need is already here!" I said "Oh... Dang it I was hoping for a cool quest montage" Tala said "Whatever let's do it. First, Circle the candles around the paper. Second, lit the candle on fire. And third, say some random words" Tala said "Done, and done!" I said "Ok everyone, now, say some random words!" Tala said. So we said some random words. ""This is crazy. There's no way-" I said but saw the scroll being reborn "Nevermind" I said

"Here's your scroll now get out" Tala said giving us the scroll "Thank you Tala!" Pala said "Yeah yeah whatever. GET OUT!" Tala said. And we get out of the room. "Hey, can we take the elevator?" I asked "HECK NO!" Tala said "Dang it" I said. We then started walking down the mountain and heard some loud roar from Tala's Lab "He's probably just working on making a giant" Pala said
