“Now you, bakuh!”

My hands turned into big black claws.

“Wow!” Naoma said.

Uh oh. The spider lady was running at Naoma.

I was supposed to be a hero, right? I didn’t know why, but something in my head told me. Was that the pig man? No, he was stupid and didn’t make sense.

The spider lady kicked Kuni before he could do anything then leaned down to suck Naoma in with her giant mouth.

I scratched her with my claw, but it didn’t hurt her.

She lifted her head with Naoma trying to jump out of her mouth.

I saw her jaw start to stretch, but just before she could swallow my friend, she screeched again, dropping Naoma onto a table. Rainbow ooze started to leak out of her arm where she hit it.

I looked back at her to see why she was being such a baby. Boyband stood behind her, still coughing confetti, but he had a big glowing staff that had chopped off half of two of the spider lady’s back legs.

She walked back with only five legs, so I swung my claw at one of her legs, breaking it into a bunch of building blocks that flashed a myriad of colors.

I thought she was going to fall over with only half of her legs left, but she moved faster. Her legs moved to cover the gaps so instead of three on one side and one on the other, there were four in good places that helped her stay up.

She hit boyband with the back of her body, throwing him back against the wall. Naoma ran with white glowing hands, but the spider lady kicked a chair in her way and knocked her over.

The spider lady turned to me next. I coughed out some confetti and didn’t feel like playing anymore. The tickles were starting to hurt.

I ran away, but I wasn’t that fast.

She was catching up as I got closer.

Boyband’s staff flew in front of me, just missing the spider lady. She stopped to look angry at Boyband for a second but kept moving after me.

I hid behind a couch but knew that it wouldn’t stop her. I was stuck.

“No more!” I shouted. “I don’t want to play anymore!”

Sanna laughed, then yelled and looked back.

Naoma had a giant white snake head and bit onto one of her legs.

She tried to flick Naoma off, but my friend held on tight as the spider lady waved her arm in the air.

I ran to hit one of her other legs, but she smacked me with her head before I could reach it.

The tickle didn’t feel good anymore.

Naoma was still hanging on.

The lights flashed. One of the hanging ones exploded, then another.

I looked over to see Kuni touching some metal box on the wall. He was flashing like before.

Naoma still held on, but the spider lady was more scared of the flashing blue lighting bolts that came down from the ceiling. One of the bolts hit her in the head, making her look dizzy, like she took a fix.

“Run for the legs!” Kuni yelled.

The spider lady tripped. Another bolt hit her as she tried to stand up, knocking her over again.
