Hello everyone, and welcome to 'Sword And Soul Of Fire!' This is a new story, probably a crackfic like "Pick On Someone Your Own Size!" Now, this is a little forewarning before you read. There WILL be Episode 6 spoilers as this begins in Episode 6. Just a warning because I've heard about a problem going around, about people being unable to play the Episode, you know?

Anyways, on to the chapter! And, please enjoy this story, dear friends!

"Gosh, it sure is dark and creepy in here…" a whimper echoed in the darkness. A young man with an ashen face, lurking within the shadows, peeks out into the light he's been seeing yet avoiding.

"Quit being a whiny baby and grow up." Another voice growled, and the voices went back and forth, coming closer and closer. Yet, the man couldn't see them in the light, and began to back away, only to bump into someone.

"Woah!" the whimper came back, and it was replaced by a "Who's there?!"

"What do you mean, did you bump into something? It was probably the wall, Sparklez, relax!"

"Why don't we head towards the light? Maybe that'll help us out." On instinct, the young man lit his hand aflame, to reveal two guys standing right behind him.

"Dude, there's a guy holding a torch right there." spoke a bearded man with shades, as he crossed his arms. "We're fine."

"Was it you I bumped into?" Sparklez questioned, pointing at the man in a not-so-accusing manner. He seemed familiar, but the man couldn't quite place the finger on where he had recognized him. The man hesitated before he decided to answer.

"Yeah. I'm Garrett." Garrett's amber eyes seemed to gleam in the darkness. He was, so far, lucky that they hadn't noticed it was his hand and not a torch that was on fire.

"Well, it's very nice to meet you Garrett. I'm CaptainSparklez, and, this is TorqueDawg." CaptainSparklez, or, well, Sparklez for short, held his hand out for Garrett to shake. Garrett switched the flame to his other hand, as if he were switching a torch from one hand to another, before shaking Sparklez's hand. "We've seen your portrait. Best if we get regrouped with the rest." Sparklez paused, after withdrawing his hand.

"Wait, hey-" Garrett began, then he and Sparklez finished in unison…

"-that rhymed." Garrett and Sparklez look at each other before laughing a little.

"It's no time to joke around, you two! TorqueDawg wants to get out of this darkness, so let's go!" TorqueDawg glared at the two, pushing past both Garrett and Sparklez on to the light that was witnessed before the little crash and meet-up.

"I think we should regroup. Let them know you're a good guy."

"Sparklez, they're obviously going to know! His portrait is hanging right there on the wall!" TorqueDawg exclaimed, making Sparklez shush him.

"Not so loud!" Sparklez hissed, glaring at the other man, before Garrett questioned them.

"Portrait? What portrait?"

"You'll see when we get back to the main hall." Sparklez chuckles, as Garrett shushed him. He felt fire nearby, and it was in a doorway. It was felt like it was wavering from the windy chills from outside. "What-" Garrett shushed him again, going towards the doorway and pressing his ear against it.

"Wow. Some kitchen." A voice echoed through the door and to the other side. Garrett was trying to process it when Sparklez raised his voice at TorqueDawg, while attempting to hold him back.

"Do you have a flint and steel?!" TorqueDawg exclaimed at him, making Garrett jump to his feet, his eyes widening as Sparklez lost his grip, making TorqueDawg fly right at him.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Garrett exclaimed, before grunting as he was pushed back into the door and the door opens from the impact of Garrett. Garrett lied back on the ground, managing to spot a group of four in the room before TorqueDawg's weight dropped on him. Chaos was happening in the room.

"Do you have the goddamn-"

"TorqueDawg, get off of Garrett!" Sparklez scolded, rushing up and trying to pull TorqueDawg off of the poor boy, but he had no luck nor success.

"For the last time, Sparklez, I didn't take the stupid thing! Maybe Garrett here has it!" TorqueDawg spat, grunting as he threw punches. Some hit Garrett, but others were deflected.

"Come on, you gotta help me get him off of-"

"What's going on?!" a new voice exclaimed, as Garrett managed to keep TorqueDawg's fists at bay for a bit.

"I'm Garrett, this is TorqueDawg, and Mr. Panicky-Pants over there is CaptainSparklez. Call him Mr. PP-" Then a grunt as he took a knee to the side.

"Well, if we're doing introductions, I'm Ivor, then it's Petra, Jesse, and Lukas-"

"Ivor, now is not the-"

"Jesse?" TorqueDawg exclaimed, "That's a boy's name!"

"Depends how you spell it, moron!" Garrett glared, managing a punch. TorqueDawg still held the upper ground, his knees now on both sides of Garrett's waist while he pinned him down to the ground.

"What are you, anyways? Some sort of loser patrol?"

"What?" The redhead, Petra, questioned the tougher guy as he held the upper ground. Jesse stayed silent, ignoring TorqueDawg as she tried to find a way to get him off of who she now knew was Garrett.

"The loser around here is you, now get off of him!" Lukas took the stand, going forward to grab TorqueDawg and get him off.

"As soon as them zombies are gone when morning comes, TorqueDawg is outta here!" TorqueDawg grabbed Garrett by his shirt, pulling him close.

"Gee, you got bad fish breath-" Garrett began, but he was cut off by Jesse.

"Wait, so the sea of zombies isn't normal? Good to hear." Jesse looked down at the two, hoping she wouldn't have to interfere, because if she had, it would turn out nasty for TorqueDawg because he was the one attacking on Garrett. Not that she liked him anyways…

"What about the moons?" Petra questioned, motioning out the window.

"The moons? That's normal, dimwits! You some stupid out-of-towners-" TorqueDawg was cut off as the lights went out so suddenly. One moment, Garrett was trying to pry TorqueDawg off of himself, and the next, Garrett hears a dispenser shooting something and TorqueDawg's weight fell right onto him. Before he could figure out what had just happened, the lights came back on and a dying TorqueDawg was sprawled all over Garrett, and he had the blunt ends of arrows protruding from his back. Fighting the fish breath and breathing with only his mouth, Garrett gasped and shoved TorqueDawg off to the side, scooting away from the dying guy quickly.

"Jesse.. Jesse, c'mere…" TorqueDawg bade the girl towards him with a weak motion of his hand. Jesse got on her knee hesitantly, curious to hear what he had to say to her in such the short time they had gotten to know one another. Which wasn't much, honestly. "You have… a boy's name.." were his last words before he died. Sparklez seemed more stressed out than anyone else at that moment.

"TorqueDawg? TorqueDawg!" Sparklez got on his knees and ran his hands through his hair. While Petra, Jesse, and Lukas were still getting over what had happened so quickly, Ivor went over to help Garrett.

"Hey kid, you alright?" Garrett stayed silent, like he had suddenly gone mute. He nods, then shook his head, then groans.

"I don't know! I'm fine from the fight, but considering what just happened-" Garrett motioned to the spot where TorqueDawg died. "Do expect me to bounce right back?!"

"Garrett, right?"

"What?" Garrett snapped, slamming his hands on the ground as the fire roared in the many furnaces on the other side of the room. Whoops. Garrett thought.

"Relax. I'm not accusing you, alright?" it was the brunette he had seen earlier. Jesse. That was her name. "Look, I'm just asking- did you do it?" Garrett shook his head.

"No, of course not. I-I have absolutely no clue what happened-" Garrett began stammering, but a trapdoor in the ground opened, revealing a hopper that took TorqueDawg's stuff. Sparklez was still stressing out, really stressing out. Garrett let out a groan, running his hand through his hair as the fire roared once again.

And, the wee bit late new story I've been speaking of!

You can guess what's wrong with Garrett, huh?

Yeah, what kinds of adventures will he go on within these newer episodes?

No spoilers, though. Least I'm trying, dear friends!

I hope you enjoyed this first chapter! The second may be published tomorrow, and from there, I could be going along a schedule. After I publish a chapter for one story, I move on to the next. Kind of like a pattern, y'know?

Til then, dear readers!
