Hello readers! Fourth Season here! This is my first video game oriented story, and it's written with the help of my lil brother and sister! Pretty much, I had a random dream that my siblings and I could control the elemental warriors, so I decided to write this! Our names, ages, and appearances are changed, of course, but we are all working together to write dialog and create a plot roller coaster! This probably won't be popular, or very good, but oh well! Thanks for reading!
It happened suddenly, during the dark cover of night. Tori, being a light sleeper, woke up as soon as her ears caught the grotesque voices. She opened one eye, the one that was pressed against the pillow, and was greeted by the sinister maw of a troll.
The beast's teeth were askew, and two lower canines were huge, jutting out from its lower lip. The green face was gross, dry, and bumpy looking, as if the troll had permanent acne. The troll's irises were black, and it's eyes were sunken into its head, the sockets drooping down upon its face. Long, crumpled, scarred ears protruded from the side of its skull. Its breath was horrid, reeking of rot and neglect. Tori forced down a cough. This guy needs a breath mint, or better yet, two packs of Altoids! Wait a second! There's a freaking troll in my house!
The troll grunted, blowing more disgusting stench into Tori's face, and leaned down to look at Tessa, Tori's younger sister.
Tori took this opportunity to reach for the loose rung on her bunk bed. She detached it as quietly as she could, and was about to swing at the troll when her sister woke up, screaming in fright at the creature hovering over her. Tori jumped with a start, squealing despite herself, and lost the rung in the process.
The troll looked up at her, scowling and snorting. It opened its mouth to call out for backup, but was cut short when it was hit upside the head by an icy fist, and punched in the gut by a thorny hand.
Tori, realizing her punch had actually hurt the beast, proceeded to beat he crap out of it. She threw off her rainbow comforter and jumped off the top bunk and onto the floor. From here, she was actually taller than the troll, who seemed gigantic, nearly seven feet tall, just mere moments ago. Too adrenaline pumped to notice, she kept punching it, backing it up against the purple dresser on the far wall.
Tori could hear Tessa cheering her on, but Tessa's voice was muffled.
Tori kept attacking, wanting to protect her little sister, who was only twelve years old. She dodged what attacks she could, but still took a fist to the face, which didn't break her head or send blood flying, even though it should have strong enough to bash her skull through.
Angry that he landed a blow, Tori strengthened her attacks. Eventually, the troll exploded in a haze of flies.
"Eew!" Tori screamed, batting at the flies with her hand, "Get 'em off me!"
Tori heard Tessa chuckle. Why you little...
She backed away from the buzzing swarm, spitting out what was in her mouth, even though none of them went in there.
She turned to look at Tessa, but to Tori's surprise, Pummel Weed, a character from one of her favorite video games, was there, cowering under the blankets.
"What on earth are you doing here," She yelled, enraged, "And where have you taken my sister!" She reached out a hand and grabbed Pummel Weed's slender chest, thorns digging into her hands, but they, surprisingly, didn't hurt or draw blood.
"Let go of me you freak! And who's your sister?" Pummel weed snapped, squirming and trying to punch Tori.
Instead of letting go, Tori squeezed tighter. "Her name's Tessa Lloyd. She's yeh high, twelve years old, blond hair, blue-green eyes, annoying personality-"
"Hey! Don't insult me!" Pummel Weed shouted.
"I'm not insulting you I'm insulting... Wait" Tori began quickly and slowed down, putting down Tessa, before speaking really fast, "If your Tessa, and your Pummel Weed, because that isn't possible, that means I'm dreaming! And if I'm dreaming, then that's why I was able to kill the troll. And why video games are coming to life, and why-"
"Wait, what? I didn't understand any of that." Tessa said, a confused expression on her planty face.
"Tessa, it's me, Tori! I'm dreaming, and when I wake up, this will all be over." She dazed off into space, looking out the window to her left.
"Oh, reeeaally," Tessa replied skeptically, putting her hands on her hips, "If your telling the truth, tell me something only Tori would know about me?"
Tori growled and tried to stomp her foot in annoyance, but it didn't feel right. She looked down and saw that instead of legs, she had a snowball for a bottom half. She screamed, jumping back, and rolled into the bathroom that was connected to her bedroom.
Looking in the mirror, the shocked face of Forty Below was reflected back at her. Tori moved her arm, and Forty Below moved his.Oh my gosh! I'm Forty Below! Thats why I was able to beat up a troll. Huh, She thought, making a fist, I'm pretty strong now! Tyler won't be able to call me wimpy anymore!
Tori left the bathroom and waved to Tessa, knowing her answer. "Well, Tessa, I know that you stalk Jack!" She proclaimed, a smug look on her face.
"I don't stalk him! We were on a field trip, I was bored, I just took a few pictures, okay!" She retorted.
Tori laughed and replied, "But you took, like, fifteen of them."
"Aughh!" Tessa groaned, and opened her mouth the talk back, but was cut off when they heard Tyler scream.
Oh no!
The two sisters rushed through the door, into the hallway, turned left, and burst through the door to their little brother's bedroom.
The scene before them was most dire. Rubble was on Tyler's bed, surrounded by little fire trolls. He was shooting rocks at them, getting visibly annoyed when he missed. Suddenly, all of the trolls leaped onto the bed, surrounding Tyler and setting it aflame. The fire leaping to the ceiling.
Tyler screamed, and Tessa rushed forward to try and save him, but Tori put her arm in front of Tessa and said solemnly, "We can't help him, we'll both die from the fire if we try." Tears escaped her eyes, and the two sisters cried over their lost brother.
Then, the sound of a constipated animal sounded from the fire, and rocks shot out of the flames, trolls pinned to them. They slammed into the walls and burst into flies, the rocks then returned to the flames.
Tyler, as rubble, rolled out unharmed. "Did you guys see that," He exclaimed, and proceeded to sing a song, " Everything is Rubble! Everything is cool when your Ruuuble! Everything is Rubble! Because I'm Rubble!"
Ignoring his weird song, the two sisters ran over and gave him a huge hug, crying with happiness.
"W-w-we thought you were-were dead!" Tori stammered.
"Of course I'm not dead," He said, rolling backwards, his amber eyes glowing, "I'm awesome!" He lit up in a green light, and Thermite stood before them, struggling to hold up his cannon. "My legs are TINY!" He said, slipping and falling on the floor.
Tori and Tessa laughed, but the light mood was short lived. Grunts and roars sounded from the behind them, and the threesome turned to see a hallway full of trolls.
"Don't worry guys, I can handle it!" Tyler said cockily, positioning his cannon towards the trolls.
"NO!" Both sisters shouted.
"You'll burn the house down!" Tessa yelled.
"Well fine then, we'll just DIE!" He retorted, glaring at Tessa.
"Just turn into something else!" She snapped.
"What else!"
"I don't know! Something!"
He growled, and tried to look menacing, which was hard because he was an ant.
Meanwhile, the trolls laughed at their quarreling, some of them even mocked Tyler in high pitched voices. "What else." They said, dancing around on their toes like ballerinas.
Tyler-got-angry. His Thermite face grew even redder, his eyes blazing, fists clenched, a look of malice on his face.
Tori and Tessa backed up, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.
Tyler flashed green, growing in size until he was a huge gorilla. He was Chilla. Tyler pounded on his chest yelled a battle cry, and he ran forward, throwing trolls into the air and impaling them on the spikes on his back.
The trolls yelled and cried out as they became impaled, their arms and legs squirming.
Soon, an enraged blue gorilla with trolls stuck on his back turned to his sisters, panting and clenching his fists.
"Tyler," Tori soothed cautiously, slowly lowering her hands, "You're okay now. We're all safe. You can calm down now."
"Not yet." He grumbled, and then ran through the hallway and living room before trampling down the door. Tori and Tessa followed him, and watched as he, one by one, pulled the trolls off his back and hurled them into the air. They flew over the trees and into the distance, past the threesome's field of vision.
"Now I can calm down." Tyler said quietly, and reverted to his usual self, an olive skinned, tousle haired boy with dark chocolate eyes and brown hair.
Tori rolled over to him, subconsciously turning back to her normal blue-eyed, light brown haired self. She tried to hug Tyler, but he moved away, his eyes still burning with anger.
"Hey guys," Tessa, also back to normal, pointed at four trolls leaping through their cabin window, the glass shattering into millions of tiny peices. The trolls emerged with the siblings parents. Kicking and screaming, Katie and Arnold Lloyd were thrown into a swirling, blue portal, disappearing into its depths.
Then, a troll turned around and scowled at them, a malicious smile on its lips, and it threw a bomb into their house.
The little wooden cabin lit up immediately, the flames like tongues of a great beast, leaping into the sky and lapping at the air.
"No!" Tori cried out, tears escaping her eyes. She turned to glare at the troll, running at it, but it just jumped into the portal.
Tori almost followed, but was held back by Tessa. "Tori," She shouted, straining to keep hold of her older sister, "Our pets aren't home! They're at the kennel! Remember! We were gonna move!"
"But they still took mom and dad!" Tori growled, but stopped her pursuit. "Wait, I forgot, I'm dreaming!" She exclaimed, "When I wake up, mom and dad will be back, the house won't be on fire, and everything will be back to normal!"
"You think you're dreaming," Tyler asked, confused, "I thought I was dreaming!"
"What!?" Tori exclaimed, whirling on him, "You thought that this whole time and only said it now!" She turned to Tessa, "Do you think you're dreaming too?"
"Of course I did!" She replied.
"Oh, no! Somebody, quick, slap me!" Tori commanded.
Tyler and Tessa slapped Tori in the face and the arm at the same time, and it HURT!
"Ow!" Tori yelled, backing away and holding a hand to her face and a palm to her arm, "If I can feel pain, and you both think you're dreaming, then that means this is real!" Tori steeled herself, fists clenched, "We need to get our parents back!"
"How will we do that?" Tessa asked.
"Duh," Tyler replied, "We use our awesome warrior powers! And me of course! Booh-yah!"
"Don't say that again." Tessa said.
"What? Booh-yah? Booh-yah, Booh-yah, Booh-yah!" Tyler retorted.
"Guys," Tori grabbed them by their shirts, " Stop fighting! It's not important right now!"
The two younger siblings then started to slap fight, annoying their older sister, who groaned and stepped back to avoid getting hit.
Suddenly, they all felt a pulling sensation, and stopped their bickering to see that the portal was swirling faster, pulling up dirt and grass, and dragging the siblings towards it. They all tried to walk forward, away from the portal, but it was too strong. They were uprooted from the floor and sucked in by the portal.
At first it felt like being stretched out to the limit, swirling in endlessly fast circles. Then, the nauseating whirling cultivated, and the feeling of being underwater engulfed the three. They felt one last tug before being spat out on dirty, charred land.
I know, not my best work, but don't worry! The next chapter will have a lot more details! Also, what do you think about the beginning? If there's anything you would like me to elaborate on or change, fell free to tell me. Please R&R!
