It was fun for the Achievement Hunters to kill random monsters in The Pit. Sometimes (with supervision from the others) they would test their limit. For example, Geoff would fight three monsters at a time but only when someone was able to watch him. In this world when you die you can't respawn.
On this particular occasion the Hunters had spent the entire day making fun of how "weak" Gavin was. Especially Michael. He was relentless. Gavin would simply harvest some grain and Michael would say something like "oh Gavin be careful or the grain might lower your health too much". Implying that the grain was stronger than Gavin could harvest it. Ryan would say "Gavin, you're like a blade of grass. Edgar could eat you in a second"
Jack would just come up and hit him every now and then and someone (probably Michael) would say "Don't do that. He's probably got half a heart left now"
Gavin (although he knew they were just joking around) was sick of it. And for some dumb reason he thought it would be necessary to prove them all wrong. Some how that lead him to The Pit X. Most of the other guys would lose at level three. Gavin was determined to beat it. The other guys didn't know that he was there. He was planning on killing the three monsters and coming back with their remains. It seemed like a good plan at the time. As he got into the arena he felt nervous. What if the despensers gave off a really bad monster that Gavin couldn't handle...like a cave spider, or invisible silver fish...or a ghast! Gavin swallowed his fear and pushed buttons one two and three. He looked at the monsters he got. Two zombies (easy) and a skeleton (little more challenging but still easy). He sighed. This was not going to convince the guys that he was tough. He pushed button four before quickly running after the two zombies.
A couple punches took out the first zombie. He almost laughed at how easy it was. The second zombie was almost just as easy but as soon as he killed it he felt a pair of fangs bite into his leg. He yelled and kicked at the source. He turned around forgetting about the skeleton archer. The thing that bit him was a cave spider. Gavin gasped. He start punching at the spider but was starting to feel himself get weaker. His vision began to blur as the venom coursed through his veins. It burned inside of him he could barely see straight. He fell to his knees but continued trying to fight the spider. This was a terrible idea! He was just about to kill the cave spider before the venom started paralyzing him in pain. There was a sharp pain in his shoulder and he screamed. He noticed that he was shot through the shoulder by the skeleton. He felt another arrow shoot through his side and another one close to the spider bit. Gavin briefly heard glass shatter but he couldn't be too sure. The pain was unbearable. The arrow in his leg wasn't that deep so with the little strength he had left he pulled it out and stabbed the spider with it. The spider died. Gavin smiled slightly as he lied down in the ground. He felt another arrow shoot through his shoulder. Gavin thought he heard someone scream but it wasn't him. Something grabbed him but the simplest touch sent a fiery pain through him. He tried to push whoever it was off of him but it caused him more pain. Gavin tried to move away from them but he found that he could no longer move his legs. The pain became so intense that he just passed out. Gavin was okay with that. In the darkness you can't feel pain.
Michael sighed. He expected Gavin to be back at Achievement City but it was getting late and he still wasn't back. Michael growled in frustration and went to find him.
"Hey, man, where are you going" Ray asked.
"I'm going to find, fucking, Gavin. He's been gone almost all day and it's getting really late. I don't want anything bad to happen to him" Michael replied. Ray nodded and walked away. Michael continued to look for Gavin. Clearly he wasn't in the city so Michael left (armed with a diamond sword) to go find his boy. He walked around and finding nothing. Then he noticed that there were torches in the Pit X. Michael groaned and went inside.
"Gavin, what are you doing? You're not planning on killing yourself are you?" Michael called not actually thinking that Gavin was already fighting. He laughed at the idea that Gavin was probably just here to cry alone.
"Gavin, don't be a jerk. Come on it's time to go back to the city" Michael tried calling for him again. He was starting to get a little annoyed that Gavin was answering him back.
"Gavin, come on. I'm not playing games with you anymore" Michael yelled. Michael walked around the Pit trying to find where Gavin was. He wasn't in the bedroom. He wasn't in the basement. Was he in the viewing room? He was on his way to the viewing deck when he heard Gavin scream out in pain.
"Gavin? Gavin this isn't funny anymore" Michael yelled. He ran up to the deck. "Gavin!"
Michael looked through the window and saw Gavin with a few arrows through him on this knees fighting a cave spider. Michael gasped and pulled out his sword. He quickly started to break the glass. He jumped into the arena in time to watch Gavin finish off the cave spider with his bare hands. 'That's impressive' Michael thought to himself. Gavin fell onto his chest and Michael thought for a moment that Gavin was actually stronger than everyone thought. He was pulled from his thoughts as another arrow shot Gavin in the shoulder. Michael screamed for Gavin and ran over to the skeleton archer. He killed the skeleton in seconds and ran over to help Gavin. He (as gently as he could) lift him from the ground. Gavin gave a yelp in pain and pushed away from Michael.
"Gavin, it's just me. It's Mogar" Michael said. Gavin tried to drag himself away but he could only use one of his arms. He finally collapsed only inches away from Michael.
"God, Gavin, what the fuck have you done to yourself" Michael picked Gavin up careful not to hit any of the arrows and started running back to Achievement City.
"Help!" Michael yelled as he entered the perimeter of the city. "Somebody help me!"
Geoff came out of his house.
"What are you yelling about?" he asked. Michael rushed over to him.
"It's Gavin...I...he...Geoff you gotta help him!" Michael panicky said. Geoff looked at Gavin but he remained calm.
"Come on. tell me what happened" Geoff said leading them into his house. Michael gently laid Gavin onto Geoff's bed and looked at him as he retold the story.
"Cave spider venom? I don't think there is an antidote for that" Geoff said looking down at Gavin. Tears pricked at Michael's eyes.
"No, Geoff, NO! There has to be something... We can't lose him. I can't lose him!" Michael said. Geoff took Michael's shoulders into his hands.
"Look, there is nothing we can do. We can get the arrows out of him and that should cause him less pain but I don't know what to do about the venom. Maybe the others would know." Geoff said. Michael looked at him then back to Gavin. The arrows went straight threw him. Two in the shoulder, one right above the hip bone. Michael looked back at Geoff.
"I can't leave him. I can't...not while he's like this" Michael said.
"I'll stay with him" Geoff said. Michael took a step towards the door then looked back at Gavin. Geoff nodded at him and Michael ran out to go get the others. Geoff turned towards Gavin.
"Okay. I'm going to try to get the arrows out of you, buddy. I'll try not to hurt you too much" Geoff said to the unconscious boy.
