Chapter 17 - CHAPTER 17

Fomo Burger went to grab Cool Burger's shoulder but then he quickly turned around, pulled out the pocket knife from Fomo Burger's pocket, and stabbed Fomo Burger in the shoulder. Fomo Burger let out a scream in agony. "What on earth are you doing?!" Rockstar Taco yelled out. Everyone looked on in confusion as Cool Burger removed the knife from Fomo Burger's shoulder. Fomo Burger yelled out in pain again and dropped onto one knee. "Stop judging, let me explain" Cool Burger said.

Rockstar Taco and Fomo Burger looked on in confusion as Wise Burger let out a small grin. "Fomo Burger, i'm not sorry I stabbed you, you did kind of kill Quirky Burger, but I didn't stab you because of that" Cool Burger explained. Fomo Burger looked up at him whilst holding his wound. "The reason I stabbed you was because when Wise Burger entered the room, I saw him secretly place what looked to be a virus on your shoulder, only reasonable solution was to stab it out" Cool Burger further explained. Fomo Burger had a look of shock on his face. He glanced over at the pocket knife and could see part of the virus on it. "Thank you Cool Burger" said Fomo Burger as he began to stand up again. "Hold on though, that's not all" Cool Burger exclaimed "I used to have an uncle, never met him because I wasn't born yet, but my family would always tell me about him, one day he vanished and nobody in my family knew where he went, funnily enough his name was Quiet Burger, so now I know what happened to him". Wise Burger let out a small gasp and stumbled backwards. "Well what are you going to do about it?!" Wise Burger shouted out. Without saying a word, Cool Burger ran over to him and used the pocket knife to pin Wise Burger to the wall by his cloak.

This revealed his face. It had mold growing on it and looked disgusting. "Give me one reason to not end you right now" Cool Burger exclaimed. Wise Burger then began to smile and started to laugh. "If you did, who would you get your information from? I mean we both want to close that amulet right? I want my creation back" Wise Burger responded. "Creation? That's my uncle" Cool Burger said "I'll spare you for now, but don't try anything funny from now on". As this was happening, Rockstar Taco had been scanning the room to make sure they did not miss anything. To her surprise, she looked over in the corner of the room and saw a trapdoor in the floor. "Cool Burger, don't give him anymore attention, he doesn't deserve it, leave him pinned to the wall and come check this out with me" said Rockstar Taco. Cool Burger gave Wise Burger one more dirty look before leaving him pinned on the wall and then followed Rockstar Taco to the trapdoor. Fomo Burger also followed behind them.

Once they opened the trapdoor they found a staircase leading even further underground. "Guys, I don't think this is such a good idea" Fomo Burger added. "Shut up" replied Cool Burger. The three of them reached the bottom of the staircase and could not see anything due to the darkness. "Wait don't worry, I have a flashlight" explained Rockstar Taco. As she turned on the flashlight, Fomo Burger widened his eyes in disbelief.

They were in a cave. There was a cage with somebody inside of it and next to the cage, a bat creature. The Bat Creature was sleeping upside down, but then noticed the group and woke up. Fomo Burger looked at the bat creature in fear and lost his balance. "I remember those things, back when I was trying to survive alone I came across some of them, I called them Bat Slashers" Cool Burger explained. The Bat Slahser then let out a hiss as its mouth opened wide. Suddenly, a long sharp tongue extended out of its mouth and aimed for Fomo Burger. Fomo Burger then let out a shriek and closed his eyes. Out of nowhere, Rockstar Taco used her hybrid powers and shot out a compressed beam of black smoke at the tongue, splitting it in half. "Agh! My back!" she yelled out in pain. The infection in her neck and back began to pulsate and she collapsed to the floor. Cool Burger then unloaded a full clip of bullets into the Bat Slasher using his glock. The Bat Slasher had been defeated.

Fomo Burger looked over at the person in the cage, it was a boy. "Excuse me, are you alright?" Fomo Burger asked. "Where is he?! Do you work for him?! I don't want to get experimented on!" said the burger in panic. "No we are against him, who are you?" asked Cool Burger. "My name is Nervous Burger… please get me out of here" answered Nervous Burger. Cool Burger approached the cage Nervous Burger was trapped in and bent the bars using his pure strength. He reached out and pulled Nervous Burger out. "Let's hurry and get out of here" Rockstar Taco demanded. The group then ran up the staircase and through the trapdoor. Suddenly, Fomo Burger looked up, only to see Wise Burger was gone.
