Chapter 2 Echo Caverns
by: Malefor
Twelve years later, Fireball and Dazzle were wondering through the Zaley Forest. Fireball stopped in front of a huge sinkhole.
"I wonder what's down there..." wondered Fireball.
"Mom and dad said for us not to go down there! Let's leave before something bad happens." said Dazzle.
"No way! I'm going down there." said Fireball.
"We're not allowed! Who knows what could be down there..." protested Dazzle.
"Exactly! If mom and dad don't want us down there then they're probably hiding something. There could be treasure down there!" exclaimed Fireball.
"I still don't think this is a good idea. What if something bad is down there..." worried Dazzle.
"Look, I'm going down there," Fireball snatched a vine, "Lower me down there and if something bad happens then I'll yank twice."
"I still don't this is a good idea... but I guess I'll do it." he snatched the vine.
Fireball tied one end of the vine around his waist. Dazzle slowly lowered Fireball down the hole.
"It's pitch black down here. Keep lowering, I think I see a light..." ordered Fireball.
The vine suddenly began to snap. "No!" cried Dazzle. He tried to pull Fireball back up, but the rope completely snapped!
Fireball cried as he fell to the bottom of the hole. Dazzle gasped and couldn't hear or see any sign of Fireball.
Meanwhile, Fireball had landed in a small pool of water. He got out of it and looked around. The only light was one single torch. He looked up the hole, but saw nothing but black.
Ahead was a tunnel leading into a huge cavern.
A huge stone platform was in the center of the cavern. Fireball slowly flew down to the platform and landed on it. Ahead was hole in the wall leading somewhere outside.
Fireball flew up to it and looked through it. The hole led out above some cliffs. Just as Fireball was about to leave the cavern, a huge creature jumped through the hole and pinned Fireball on the platform. It was a Bloodfang.
"Fireball!" hissed the Bloodfang.
Fireball panicked and did the only thing he could do: he shot a strange element at the Bloodfang, killing it.
Several more Bloodfangs jumped through the hole and landed in front of Fireball, "You are entering our territory." hissed one Bloodfang.
Fireball was too shocked to understand what they were saying. He shot more of the strange element and killed there Bloodfangs. One hissed, "Get him! I must report this to the master!" It jumped through the hole and disappeared.
The remaining five Bloodfangs drew their blades and slashed at Fireball. He jumped back and shot more of the element. It seemed to be burning the scales off of them.
Two Bloodfangs remained. They slashed at Fireball. Fireball defeated one with the strange element. The last Bloodfang pinned Fireball and attempted to stab him.
Fireball shot the element at the Bloodfang and knocked it off the platform. He flew up to the hole and crawled through out onto a cliff. He was in a whole new place. This place looked terrible though; the grass was dead, a ocean ahead was red, the trees were purple, the whole environment looked like evil had been there.
Fireball flew down to the bottom of the cliffs and looked around for any sign of the Zaley Forest, but directly past the cliffs was a desert. Fireball walked into a dark forest.
