Hi! This is considered as a "first draft" composed of 1-3 chapters (depends on the time and material I have at the moment). This will be a story submission (fanfic) on the Epic Battle Fantasy Series (specifically EBF4) by Kupo707(Kongregate), matt-likes-swords(NewGrounds), and Matt Roszak(correct me if I got the spelling and credits wrong.)

The characters, you know, will be starring in this fanfic. Matt, Lance, Natalie and Anna will be shifting POVs (point of views) to form the fanfic and the story line. POVs will be divided by "00" to prevent confusion between the POVs.

DISCLAMER: I OWN NOTHING BUT THE STORYLINE AND THE EBF SERIES IS NOT MINE BUT OF MATT ROSZAK(CREATOR OF THE EBF SERIES).

Chapter 1

As the smell of pine and maple trees signal the autumn in Greenwood, Anna, the brave ranger of the said place finally put the sacred Greenwood Jewel on the altar. "Finally it has returned to where it belongs." The green haired girl looked back to see her three pals looking serious as she went near. "Now that we returned the gem, don't you have something to do regarding our names?"said the impatient and sarcastic Lance. Matt soon joined in the conversation. "If I remember correctly, we had a deal. Now that your side of the deal was granted, how about ours?"

Natalie's POV::I couldn't help but overhear what the guys are talking about. I didn't want to join in the conversation; I already knew what they would say to Anna. I could see Anna is quite sad if we were to separate after the journey. I, for one, was sad too. That time together fighting and journeying to the Godcat Temple seemed to be short. OK, I'll admit. I grew in favor of Anna. (Now I'm thinking Lance has a "thing" for her. He acts like he hates her, but you know, "the more you hate, the more you love") New shipping? I don't know…This might be a chance to get Lance out of my hair.

The whole village celebrated until it was sundown. The nature girl thought about her companions. She is worried that her friends may have not a place to spend the night. "Too bad," Anna said "There's no inn here at Greenwood." Natalie was quite happy when she knew Anna would be considerate to them. "Don't trouble yourself. We're fine! We can just camp out in the open or maybe camp out in a cave nearby." "No, you're my guests. I'm in charge of you and your place of spending the night." Upon hearing this, Lance got annoyed. "You're ALWAYS in charge of us!" Anna can't help but laugh at Lance's sarcasm. Natalie laughed as well, and both girl's laughter had encouraged Lance to grin at them. "Hey," Natalie was getting alarmed. "Where did Matt go?!"

Chapter 2

A blonde boy was walking alone in the woods. He was not aware his team mates were worried about him. Matt was deep in thought: After all the adventures,quests,battles he and his team went on, how come he's not contented about all of those fun experiences? Was there something missing? And to think he likes Natz. *sigh* The sound of his depressing sighs were echoing in the woods. Noticing the wonderful stars, Matt lay down on the grass, contemplating...

Lance's POV:: OK, Why did I grin at them? It's not like I did something funny or anything! I can't believe I smiled at their laugh -_- To add to my problems, Matt was missing. He really had to wander of somewhere leaving me here alone with Natz and Anna. I can't help but blush of embarrassment! Now, probably the girls will think of me as a weirdo.( I may no longer peek at them DX ) Darn, I need to go out and find Matt.I think I'd like to talk to him. He's like a pal I never had. Bad trip! the girls wanted to find Matt too...I can't have privacy now,can't I?

While lying in the grassy field near the Weapon Shop, Matt caught a glimpse of a bacon lost in the crowd. He thought he might bring it back to his pals as excuse for leaving secretly. Quietly, Matt wielded his sword and prepared to hack it to pieces. As he was drawing nearer to the bacon, a bullet,quick as a flash killed it . "Lance?!"Matt shouted out in surprise. "If you were hungry, you could've said so!" Lance said. Behind Lance stood the girls. Natz ran and hugged Matt. He can't help it if he blushed. Matt looked at Lance and intently stared into his eyes. Lance knew Matt was troubled.

Chapter 3

As the group went to Anna's house for some "fun", Matt and Lance sat on a tree stump outside. Lance wanted Matt to give it to him straight. "Bro, After the experience earlier..." Matt wanted to ask Lance."Did you notice the stress I have? Was it too obvious?" "Why, Don't want Natz to see you cry alone,huh?"Lance was trying to make Matt smile."No!"yelled the blonde swordsman. Lance chuckled when he saw Matt's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. He really likes Natalie... Lance thought. The boys' conversation was interrupted when Anna called out. "Hey guys! Try our bacon soup,Natalie made it BTW." Matt and Lance realized they were hungry. "It better be good!" Lance shouted. "Oh boy! I haven't had soup for YEARS!"yelled the excited Matt.

Anna's POV:: I'm sensing there's some problem going on with Matt. He's not as cheerful as when they're reunited with Natalie at Ashwood at the beginning of our quest to find the sacred jewel. Is he stressed or something? Anyway, I started to think about the quest we had. It was sooo EPIC! Maybe I'm considering about joining them. But if ever we were to part, I'm gonna miss them. *yawn* It's very late..I think I'd better finish my soup before it goes cold...

The four travelers finished their soup to the last drop. It has been so long when they had a decent meal. They were getting tired. They needed a place to sleep PRONTO! "How about me and Anna sleep in her house and you guys sleep by the door? Then in the morning you guys can hunt for our breakfast!" Natalie suggested. "Actually, It's not bad!" the others thought. Finally I can talk to Matt in private later...

WRITER'S NOTE:

This is my very 1st fan fiction, so expect TONS of errors and glitches.I decided to make 3 chapters first and, depending on the reads and reviews i will receive, It's either I continue the Fanfic or maybe stop right then and there. I'm open to your opinions and suggestions so please don't hesitate to leave a message for me.
