"So, he's coming to us?"
"Yes, along with two others." Jenna walked along with Toby and Cry.
"Others?" Cry kept asking questions to this Marbles character.
"I don't fucking know the details." She scoffed, easily getting annoyed.
"What if he was snatched up by that monster?" Toby asked, more casually than Cry, meanwhile Cry sounded like panicking. Jenna turned back at them suddenly and made Toby and cry jump back.
"Look guys, I want to get your friend and get out just as much as you do, but would you shut up already!" She nagged and glared at the both of them. "If there's one thing I know about that monster, it's that if it gets to you, it'll kill you right then and there, leaving your body to wither away." Cry seemed a bit intimidated.
"You alright Jenna?" Toby asked as he put a hand on her shoulder softly.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go."
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
"So you're a mage?"
"I think I was. Last thing I remember is being attacked by some powerful young man. I turned into a chair for protection and passed out. When I woke up I was here and I couldn't remember a thing. Stephano, Felix, and their friend Mr. Chair walked through the corridor after corridor. Felix seemed more confident with people by his side now.
"I've been stuck with Mr. Chair for a while now." Stephano huffed as he fixed his golden robes.
"Why haven't you two ever left?" Felix asked.
"Because this stupid Explorer dimension is separated from the rest of PCneia. So it's not like we can just wa-"
"What?" Felix interrupted.
"PCneia, listen better Pewdie."
"Yeah, what the fuck is that?"
"Ugh, the name of this world." Up until now, nobody had told either of the new knights that they had traveled into a completely different world.
"So we aren't on Earth right now?" Felix was thrown off and stepped back.
"I knew you were from Earth." Stephano complained as he put his palm to his forehead. "Forget about it Pewdie." He was too annoyed by Felix's cluelessness to explain anymore. The people that have been on the world for quite some time have seen traveling from planet to planet as a normal, everyday technology.
"Sure thing." Felix tried to hold back the sudden urge of excitement. The thousands of questions he had in his head seemed like too much to hold back. The three stuck to walking as a small silence hung on their heads. '
"It's coming this way." Stephano heard the dragging of chains and stopped walking. They looked around to see the grey stone circular room they were stuck in. It only had red decorative curtains to hide them. The center candlelight above their heads blew out and the room went dark. The sound of chains got louder and they could hear the loud breath of the monster. "You said you were a Knight, right?" Stephano whispered over the Felix.
"I said I was going to be someday." Felix replied as quietly as he could.
"Well now's your chance to prove that." Stephano replied quickly as he shoved something into his hands and ran to hide behind the red decorative curtains along with Mr. Chair. Felix lifted the cold object to it being shadowed as a sword. He realized he was holding a sword and panicked.
"Are you crazy?!" Felix said loudly. He knew he wasn't ready for anything like this. He quickly looked around for Stephano but had no luck.
"You can at least defend him off long enough to run off. I'm too short. Just focus of protecting yourself." Stephano tried to speak calmly as the monster limped into sight.
Felix went still as Mr. Chair shook and used a tinderbox on the nearest candle. It was good for lighting most of the back side of the room. Felix was able to see the sword clearly now, a pure golden color, not to light, not to heavy. The white bandage on its handle was comfortably suited to the palm of his hand. The monster charged Felix stood up straight. His feet planted to the ground and a strange spark of confidence. The monster raised his claw and was about to clamp it down onto him, but Felix raised his sword and stopped the claw with the side of the sword. He pushed it down to the ground and the monster stumbled a bit. Stephano grabbed Mr. Chair's sleeve and the two bolted for the door.
The monster stood again and charged once again. Felix's confidence died so suddenly and he back up, but soon his back met the wall. The monster put full swing into his claw and aimed for his chest, but Felix stopped it with the sword. The monster pressed harder and it pushed Felix harder against into the wall. He held the claw away from his chest with the sword and tried to push away with all his might, but his strength was going to go weak any moment. He looked past the monster for help, but saw that it was just him and the monster. He was a goner.
"In here!" Stephano shouted as he entered the room once again. Jenna stood by his side and Toby and Cry quickly ran in after them.
"Hold in a bit longer Pewdiepie." Jenna stuck her hand into her shoulder bag and pulled out a rolled up black whip. Cry and Toby watched her as it started to glow a light pink color. She started to shine with the light pink color as well. A guardian uses their energy to fight, but some chose to transfer their energy into a weapon of their choice to have a different effect on a target. JennaMarbles was known for using a whip against any Explorer monster.
She took a deep breath and a step back to focus her energy. "You guys might wanna stand back." She mumbled to Toby and Cry. The two wasted no time taking a few big steps back. Jenna raised the whip above her head and with one swift motion she lashed it and hit the monster directly in its shoulder. The monster growled and stumbled back. Jenna raised the whip again and hit him again in the mid-back with her whip.
"Wow." Toby watched the fight, which looked more like beast taming, in amazement. She was glowing with power, which was how you could tell who the guardians truly were. Whenever they fought with good intention their energy took a light color and shined, which was rumored to blind the dark and cruel. Jenna continued at the beast until it ran out the exit growling in pain with black blood spewing from its rooms. As soon as the monster was out of sight, her glow faded as she rolled up her whip and stuck it in her bag. Toby thought it'd be fun to be over dramatic and start clapping happily.
Felix slumped to the ground with heavy breath. Stephano stepped over to him and held his hand out. "Give it back." Felix looked down at the golden sword that laid in his hands. Felix nodded, with no room in his breath to speak.
"Wait!" Mr. Chair stepped forward. "You can't take that from him!" He spoke out and everyone looked at him.
"Why can't I-"
"Didn't you see it? The sudden confidence of a knight!" Mr. Chair seemed to have this sudden urge of eagerness. "It obviously spoke to him!" Felix at first thought it was crazy talked, but looked over at Stephano and noticed that the short man was looking at the floor.
"Wooh, wooh, wait. I thought swords could only speak with one knight." Jenna spoke up as she slipped a folded quilt out from her bag. She was the only one there that knew exactly who Stephano was. The rumored Golden Knight that used to work beside Queen Liza, but he was supposedly banished for mysterious reasons.
"I just this one must've moved on." Mr. Chair shrugged. Felix stood steadily. Felix took a moment to get the message. This was his sword.
"Yes!" He jumped up with a cheer.
"Lucky. I want a fricken sword!" Toby and Cry ran up to him. Felix turned and did a practice swing the movement defiantly felt perfect. Toby was determined to get himself a sword, and Cry was just happy that Felix was alive.
"Come on guys." Jenna spoke up and pulled a purple and blue quilt form her bag. She threw it at the wall and it morphed into a doorway. "Let's go already." Stephano snuck through the doorway when Mr. Chair distracted her and explained his situation. As a Guardian, she was obligated to help him out cautiously. Cry and Felix walked out chatting and Mr. Chair soon happily made his way out as well. All this time Toby was still jealous of Felix's newly achieved sword, but passed through the door soon before Jenna.
A/N: I am so sorry for not updating sooner. January is quite the busy month. I started on cosplays for Sakuracon 2013 plus school and laziness has been occupying my mind. After finals I will continue updating regularly. Also this chapter seems a bit more screwy because half of it wasn't written in class like usual. Heh ^.^
