Matt's Quest Book 2

Whoa, I'm on book 2 now! Yep, more battles, monsters and an OC contest! Send in characters in the reviews and a few will be chosen to be in the story! Well, I better start the story guys.

Chapter 1

The Portal

We all prepared armor for the whole group including Zer0, Axel and Melon. I made iron swords, axes, and bows and arrows. I had the bow and arrow idea and I stole arrows from skeletons and used sticks and spider string for the bows. I asked Dimentio what I needed to find inside of the portal and he told me to find a green stone known as the emerald. I think we were ready for the portal now. Inside was a lot more than we prepared for.

We all stood next to the portal, determination in our eyes. I raised my new Sword of Light into the air and yelled at the top of my lungs:

"Are you ready to conquer the monsters?!"

"I kick monster bootie", screamed Axel.

"Yeah, bro", said Abo holding a bow and a stone sword that he made.

"We can take anything they throw at us", answered Red.

"I shall fire when ready, Matt", smiled Zer0, holding up his new bow.

"I don't have a weapon, but I'm sure you guys will do well."

"MOO", Melon screamed into the air.

"Then let's do this!"

We jumped through the portal with confidence and prepared to take down hordes of monsters from the darkness.

Everything was black, just like when I had first woken up in the world. Then I saw the light. The light got closer and closer until I could see my body again. This new world was dark, but lights enough to see everything around you. The ground was made of a hard black mineral and the sky was black. I found my group and decided to follow a dirt path on the ground.

"Axel, is this the place where Laura is?"

"No", he replied.

"I'm sorry big guy. We'll find her soon"

The sounds of the monsters were everywhere around us but none were in sight. After about four minutes of walking, we were encountered by monsters. A lot of monsters.

The mob of spiders, zombies and skeletons ran towards us. The zombies "ran" as well. I told Abo and Zer0 to open fire at the beasts. Brett sat down to watch the action. Arrows from both my small army and the skeletons from the opposing side fell like rain. Axel was hit in the arm. He started shaking in anger and teleported behind all of the monsters, punching them down one by one. I got on Melon with my saddle and he mooed into the air as he ran forward into the creatures. I slashed a large group of zombies down and Melon rammed into their legs. Red was at the front of the battle slashing at spiders and skeletons.

"Guys, I'm out of ammo", yelled Zer0.

"I'm on it", yelled Red, snatching a handful from a skeleton.

He was running back to give the arrows to Zer0 when suddenly; a spider jumped on his back and bit his spine.

"AH", he screamed as he went down.

"NO YOU DON'T", yelled Abo in frustration.

Abo swished out his stone sword from his waist and slashed the spider off of Reds back.

"Thank you, but I don't think I can help you guys anymore."

He stood up and proved he was right. His back was twisted to the right and he walked funny. He gave Zer0 the arrows and sat down on his back.

"I'll be ok. Just shoot them, alright."

Abo and Zer0 nodded and continued firing their bows at the remaining zombies and skeletons. There were only a few monsters left. Axel, Red and I atop of Melon were now back to back facing the better of the monster fighters. All of the monsters were defeated in minutes except a skeleton that held an iron shield and a… DIAMOND SWORD!? We clashed swords together and he pushed me off of Melon.

"UNACCEPTABLE!" Axel sounded like a Dalek.

Axel took one of the black stones from the ground and hauled it towards the skeleton. The skeleton was smashed to the ground by the force of the stone. Abo went over to finish the skeleton off but the skeleton got up and stabbed him through the chest.

"NO", we screamed into the air.

With a sad face Red took the diamond sword in hand when he got off of the ground.

"Let's keep moving guys. We need to avenge Abo." he exclaimed.

We followed the road for a little while longer fighting a few monsters on the way. Finally we reached a pit that ended the road. In the middle of the pit was a pedestal with some sort of gem on it. It was green and very shiny. This must be the Emerald that Dimentio was talking about. I reached for the gem and a black tentacle whapped my arm away from it. More black tentacles appeared around the emerald and a one eyed, black monster, the owner of the tentacles, pushed one tentacle through Brett's head. The monster pulled it out and Brett started attacking us with a black sword that formed out of his arm. Brett lashed out at Melon pushing him to the floor. I slapped him in the face hoping that he would snap out of it.

"Ouch! What was that?!"

"Oh, nothing", I replied back.

Red dodged the monsters tentacles while trying to slice some of them off as well. I continued doing the same. All of a sudden more monsters began appearing around us. Zer0, Melon and were trying to hold them off but the numbers were overwhelming.

"GUYS, BACK UP", screamed Red, holding the diamond sword in hand.

"You are too weak to fight. Besides you're our leader. We need you", explained Brett.

"I don't care. Matt is the one that matters now. He is the chosen one. Without him, the whole world will go down. Now BACK UP!"

We stood back as he hobbled toward the monster with bravery. The sword plunged into the monsters eye and the monster began to glow with light. The monster exploded with great force around Red.

"RED", I cried out.

"You are the leader now Matt. Never give-"

His body exploded in the light with the monster. The light died down, the monsters were gone and the emerald was there on the pedestal, and a portal had formed where the monster had exploded. I took the emerald in one hand and told my teammates:

"Red… Red and Abo may not be here right now… but they helped us every way they could. Their sacrifices are not in vein friends. We will go through the rest of the portals and find the rest of these emeralds. We will avenge our lost friends and whoop the fudge out of these brutes. Are you guys with me!"

"We're all ears, captain", smiled Brett.

"Friends fight together", Axel grinned.

"You bet we do", Zer0 agreed.

"Moo", Melon mooed.

We headed back through the portal with our confidence back in the place it should be.

Yeah! That was a long but fun chapter to make, bros. Remember to send in reviews for the OC contest and I will post more chapters really soon. Peace off!
