Everworld: Road to Tartarus

Chapter 1: It's all fake

It being 4 years since the battle between the gods and the Hewtens. Greece is in peace, But yet one will danger the peace. He wait in shadow and darkness forever trapped, but yet he plots and waits...

It was another bullshit day in Matt's life. He was 14 and never went to a party or had a girlfriend. He was a good looking but was freak when meeting girls. He had many friends. Among them was Edward which he called Ed. He was a guy you can be friends with in a snap. You had to earn his respect. When you did, its worth every little bit. Matt met Edward went he was 6 years old. Ever since then they would friends. It was 7 period at school. Matt was in sex education class.

''Yeah kids can you tell me why the male reproduction system is in the outside of the male's body?" said Mrs. Stanlie

James whisper to matt

"The! So they can jerk off! Everybody knows that." Matt busted out laughing

"What in the hell is so funny?" Yelled Mrs. Stanlie

James look a Matt's face

"Sorry man I could resist."

"Jay your a dick."

"Oh haha, Matt." Yep it was another normal day.

Over Greece, people honor there gods thanking Zeus for they plentiful harvests. As hundreds of people worshipped Zeus, they where completely obvious of the fate bestowed upon them…. Gods

"Busy rebuilding are they... Foolishly they pretend there safe when I'm still here... They think closing some gates means the end of this ... I don't blame them for its there nature to be forgetful... Even their gods are absentminded Zeus has forgotten all he locked away in Tartarus... Its time for all of us to remind him... Go...Do what I commanded you too... Make way for the Titans!"

The voice howl in the ears of the Greeks. A mile away a large bat flew out of the ocean floor. It was the size a basketball player. It flew towards the docks at a grieving speed. The dark red eyes look around for its prey. The man look up.

"Wha...?" Then it spotted him.

Matt begged for the bell to ring. It was already 4.14pm. He had it ticked down to 1min, then it was summer vacation. Finally he snapped.

"RING the damn Bell all ready!" as he yelled a crossed the hot classroom. Both the students and the teacher was too lazy or tried too care. Matt thought of going camping with Ed and J on Monday.

Matt was begging to get the hell outta that room.

Then it did rang, clear as a bell! The ring was like pure sun light. Matt bounced to his feet and ran out the door.

"Finally no more listening to her bitching!"

Matt ran down the Brock. There he met Ed and James.

"What's wrong guys?"

"Hey Ed and Me thought of a good idea to head to the arcade after school you coming?" ask James.

"J you bet your ass on it."

Matt can never put down a good game. Both friends raced down the streets nearly getting run over by a car, to the arcade.

"Are you joking?", yelled Arkantos. The Battle of Troy is not a task for the admiral. We be even lucky to arrive there to in time, let alone reinforce the Greek armies!"

"It would shame Poseidon not to sent to end the Siege at Troy. None of my junior captains will be last long over there' said" Krios.

"No it must be you."

"Don't worry father, Krios I will take my fathers place."

"No Kastor!" said Arkanos, "You are far to young to go, I forbid it from happening, even from the Gods, Krios so be it, I will go to troy as you asked. This airing will not take long. Zlaeno load the supplies on the transport we will be sailing soon."

Hours, later the fierce Royal Atlantean fleet sailed off. The fleet, numbered up to two hundred thousand ships. Leading the way was Arkantos

As Matt and the gang raced to the arcade, Matt had happen to come across a strange sigh. Come to the grand opening of the v-8 arcade on 6/18/2005.

All games will be free, this is a one time deal, so don't walk, run to v-8.! 165 Mable road by sea ridge.

"Hey guys, look at this", said Matt.

"Oh crap!" said Ed. "6/18 that's tomorrow! I think I can't make it, maybe."

"Ed what is so urgent that you ass cant go?"

"It's a family thing. Just have to wait and see….."

"Ok then its on! We will meet 10 sharp, ok guys? said James.

Tomorrow came and Ed made it to the Arcade as promised.

After a long time in the arcade the gang finally ran out of money.

"Later dudes, I'm out." Waved ED

"Come on Matt. Don't be an ass. Where going to miss the bus ride home!

"HEY FUCK YOU "J"!" yelled matt as people from the street was looking at him. All thinking he was retarded……………………………………………………………

At midnight Matt was still tossing and turning in his bed.

Matt realized something was not right. But normally he annoyed it, but the thing puzzled his mind. Hours he thought of it.

It was all ready 3am. He had to go to sleep or will never make it to V-8. Then his mobile phone rang.

Matt was almost freaked out when it did.

"Hello?" Matt said in a sleepily but angry voice.

"Its me dude, me Ed."

"Dude are you joking man. Its 3am go to sleep! Go to sleep! Get off the phone and sleep! I will talk to you in the morning."

"Matthew shut the fuck up and listen!" screamed Ed in a eerie tone.

"I got something to show you, come to my house now."

"To hell with that! As Matt slam the phone and went to bed.

"What was Ed thinking?" Matt said to himself.

"What was so important to show me at three in the morning?" None the less Matt finally when to sleep.

In the morning Matt woke up, and notice something strange.

He was in his living room, sleeping on the floor.

"I better not be sleep walking." Matt looked at the clock, it was still 3pm.

"That's not right… I swore I slept later, much later then that time." Matt pulled himself, and regain his senses.

"How the hell I get here?"

Matt was still figuring this as he walked to V-8. Then he bumped into James. Literarily

"Sorry J….. You don't look to good. Get any sleep?" said Matt.

"NOT at ALL, but I got a phone call at three in the morning, guess who it was?"

Matt listened carefully to what his reaction where when he answered.

"Ed"

"He, How the fuck you know?" asked James in a puzzled voice

"I got the same phone call, something he waited to show me in his house."

"Well, where early lets check this thing out."

"Sound good to me lets go Jay."

The sky was still cloudily the road still wet from the rain.

Yet matt's mind was still puzzled. Something was not right. It was in the air and wind, the sky and ground. James can feel it too. Matt wanted to ask him what it was. But he annoyed it, like what he always do.

A mistake the he will regret.

As the friends walk to the front yard of there buddy, the two notice something really, really strange. The door was wide open.

"Oh fuck, someone broke in." said Matt

"Nah, you know Mr. Leung always go on morning jogs to the park every Friday"

The two walk up the front stoop.

"Hello...Ed?" said James.

"Careful James, I got a bad fucking feeling in my gut. Like- "

"Thorns inside your brain, and worms inside you?"

Fear stunned Matt into submission.

"Ed in danger!" yelled Matt rushing in

"They hear us!"

The house was dead quiet. Not even an echo.

The Duo both checked the rooms of the house. There was nothing in the bedrooms, living room, kitchens.

Nothing, No windows, no air vents, no doors. All the rooms where painted blue. Matt swore day before they where white.

But once there when to the backyard they saw Ed.

"So... you came."

"Ed? Dude you freaking me out" said Matt.

Matthew Lee, James Marshall... I knew you will come sooner or later.

"Matt that's not Ed. I have this gut feeling its not.

"Are you crazy." whispered Matt, He looked just like him. Therefore in the laws of nature hes Edward Leung!

"Call me crazy if you want, I know the guy, maybe not as long as you, and whoever the hell he…….is………..he……..is….not...Edward!.

"That's right Matt." said Ed

"I'm not Edward Leung... I'm that feeling inside you.

The laugh echo in James and Matt's mind. The pain was unbearable. It felt like his brain was being beaten my needles, and burned to ashes… all at the same time. It was two minutes of hell. Finally Matt passed out. James was almost going too. At the last moment, he saw Edwards face melt before him, tiny mouths appear all over his face.

He soon transformed to a flock of crows. Finally James lost his mind and all when black.

Haaahahahhahahah! the laugh filled the room and even the whole world.

And so it begins...
