Chapter 01: The golden boy
/Every word that looks like this in speech from Nick, Jack, or Kyle, is translated Spanish (unless it's someone's name)/
"LET'S GET MOVING!" Dragon squad's field commander yelled at the DragonSlayer blew away the entrance to Dragon's Lair. We ran in, ready to blast anything that moves, but nothing came out to attack us. "Arnold, check ahead of us. Mickey, set up the traps. Jack, you're with me, LET'S MOVE!"
"YES SIR!" we replied as we dashed into position faster than Speedy Gonzales.
"REPORT STATUS!" commander Valentía barked as she and I moved forward towards Arnold.
"PATHWAY, CLEAR!"
"TRAPS, READY!"
"WEAPONS READY!?" I yelled as Valentía and I passed Arnold.
"READY!"
"READY!"
"READY!"
"GO GO GO!" we all push forward, only stopping to check corners.
After thirty minutes of checking corners and pushing down the cavern, we stopped to check for hives.
"Find anything, Mickey?" Michael Keystone, Mickey for short, is our expert on the crawling darkness. He has a way of knowing where they are, and where they're going to be. He's become an asset to our squad, we wouldn't be here without his guidance.
"We need to keep going forward, I'll tell you when we need to change directions." Valentía nodded and stands up, stretching to loosen her muscles.
"You heard the man, MOVE!" Arnold and I got up and walked forward with the rest of the group.
*tap* *tap* *tap* the mini crawlers could be heard in the distance, clearly ready to attack us.
"GGGRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWW!" The Breeder screams when we enter the scene, commanding the mini crawlers to attack.
"WEAPONS FREE!" Valentía yelled as she opened fire at the enemies that jumped at her.
"You heard the woman, start shootin' shit." We dashed from cover to cover, blasting any enemy that dared to get to close. Valentía summoned her minigun and blew a path towards the breeder's heart, signaling for me to plant the explosives.
I ran forward, quickly gunning down a crawler, spinning 164 degrees, and pushing the head of a frogger into a convenient acid pit. I arrived at the heart of a breeder, remote-detonated mine on my back, I use my hidden ability 'Power Smash' and bust open the skin surrounding the heart, the stench of burning flesh filling up my nose.
"Guardian Sentry, protect this young soul." An automated sentry gun materialized behind me and opened fire on the crawlers behind, allowing me to set up the timer on the charge. Explosive charges set up, I started the timer and ran back to the group. "Charges are set, let's go!." We ran back through the cave while the screams of dying crawlers rang out because of the acid that's rising from the decaying bodies of the Froggers. Arnold taps my shoulder.
"How much time do we have?" I checked my watch.
"We've got about ten seconds." That was a prompt for us to run faster.
"Give us a countdown, Jack." I looked down at my watch again.
"Ten." We reached the end of the cave, yelling for the summoners to seal the entrance. "Nine, eight." the sounds of crawlers clawing at the sealed entrance could be heard over the sounds of yelling solders. "Seven, six, five." as everyone started running away, I got a brilliant idea. "four." I used quick dash to get on top of the mountain. "three." I activated the over shield. "two." I braced for the explosion.
"one."

xXSEVEN HOURS BEFORE THE PREVIOUS EVENTSXx
"Hello?" I called out into the dark again, not really expecting any response at this point. I don't know what happened or where I am, I just want to hear a voice, even if it's just my own.
"Hey, new girl." the sudden sound of a loud voice causes me to take a defensive stance towards the voice. I see a boy there, hanging upside down and looking quite amused. He looks kinda like Nick with his jet black hair and similar body type, but he has red highlights in his hair, a shorter stature, and scarlet armor pads on his shoulders, chest, elbows, knees, and shins.
"Who are you?" I was trying to sound threatening and intimidate him, but he laughed and jumped down from whatever he was hanging from and held out his hand.
"I'm someone you will most likely never meet anywhere but here," he gave me a sly smirk as we shook hands, "but just in case we do, you can call me 'el pistolero'." he looks around as we stop shaking hands, his sly smirk turning into a genuine smile. "So what brings you here, gorgeous? Not many people know about this place and I know I would have remembered you." I've come to the realization that he's flirting with me, but I ignore his flirty remarks and answer his question.
"I don't know how I got here or where I am. I just want to go home." the guy stumbled backwards, a worried look on his face.
"Oh...you're in a coma."
"A COMA?!" I felt like the world had started spinning. A coma, a damned coma. How did that even happen? I guess that I was falling over because el pistolero came up and held onto my shoulders.
"Woah calm down there, Uni, it's not permanent, you'll be awake in no time." I gave him a skeptical look, as I pushed him away.
"How would you know that?" He laughs while adjusting the straps on his chest plate.
"I rule this place. Only certain people know how to get here, and I know them all. The people that I don't know are usually powerful beings that are in a coma." I was going to ask him another question but then I became consumed by a pillar of light. "I guess you're waking up, see you never, Uni."
