Merry Christmas! I decided to hold three chapters in a row and upload them on the same day as a sort of Christmas present to you guys! Read once you've eaten your presents, opened your feast, messed some verbs up, etcetera etcetera. Heck, if you have some text-to-speech system you can get the chapters read to you while you're eating your feasts and messing up your presents and opening up your verbs. Well, anyway, enjoy, and make sure you get your verbs right!
A certain green-loving man started to open its eyes. Who is it? Find out soon.
As Rose started running through the halls, back to her cell, John continued scribbling on the paper. Finally, he finished writing and took the paper. He put it through the transportalizer and set it 100+ years in the future. Then, he turned to find two ginormous guards hovering over him. He slid under the two and started running. John tried to follow the path he had taken before, but it was lost in his mind. He didn't even realize he had taken a wrong turn. He walked straight to find a door. He entered it to find a large room with a glass cylinder in the center. Inside the cylinder was a floating stone that emitted light. It was a greenish color. John then realized that his hood was blue and Rose's was yellow, and those together make green. That's where they're holding our powers!
Well, it's pretty obvious who loves green, so I don't even need some spooky monologue because I elaborated his feelings for the color of life. Anyway, he woke up off the ground to find himself still in his house. He was battered and bruised, but he got up nevertheless. After wobbling, he walked over to his computer. He got into his 'Oak Leaf' office chair and started typing on his 'Caliborn Green' computer. He Skyped Samantha.
GavinJ- I'm awake.
SamA- Great!
SamA- Ok, I'm looking over John. He's alchemizing stuff.
GavinJ- Oh great.
SamA- Yep.
GavinJ- Did he do the thing where he threw stuff into the blue-y circle?
SamA- I looked it up, and it's called Prototyping.
GavinJ- Huh. Did he do it?
SamA- Yes, and it's actually really cool.
SamA- And, um, I'll leave his 'special' quality a secret.
GavinJ- Oh god.
SamA- Yeah, I would kill myself if I had that sprite.
SamA- Marcos seems to like it though.
GavinJ- Well that's good at least.
SamA- Ok, can you deploy the free stuff?
GavinJ- Any specific place?
SamA- In my living room. I cleared some space.
GavinJ- Got it. Here I go.
SamA- Steady...
SamA- Steady...
SamA- Drop it.
CLUNK.
GavinJ- Done. What now?
SamA- Drop the other two.
GavinJ- Yes ma'am.
SamA- Is there enough space?
GavinJ- Yep. Kind of cramped though. Is that okay?
SamA- Fine.
DONK. SLAM. SPACE JAM.
Marcos wondered what he would make with his brilliant items. Wait! I've got to throw stuff into the blue thing! Marcos searched his room. He picked up four items and carried them up to the roof. With one swift motion, he casually tossed them in. The sphere grew and then disappeared. In its place was the result of a dragon poster and his four fanfictions.
DRAGONSCRIBESPRITE- Marcos, the noble and valiant knight, gazed upon the masterpiece he had created.
DRAGONSCRIBESPRITE- This reptilian beast contested both great strength and endless knowledge...
DRAGONSCRIBESPRITE- And of course the intellectual property of storytelling.
"Yes!" Marcos shouted. He had created the perfect sprite. It was magical, awesome, beautiful, amazing, and any other possible positive adjective he could don onto the majestical dragon.
DRAGONSCRIBESPRITE- Marcos was confused about his primary goal, but had his noble friend and partner to assist him.
DRAGONSCRIBESPRITE- He had to build up to reach all of the gates until he finally reached all of them
DRAGONSCRIBESPRITE- Then he could reach the fabled God Tier, and then create his own adventure from then on.
Then, Marcos decided to alchemize. His samurai swords were first. Sure, they were cool, but they were just too generic. He needed to upgrade them. But how? He thought for a second then set off to his room. He searched through his piles of stuff but he couldn't find anything. He headed down to his kitchen and saw something perfect. Woot! Then, Marcos saw something else. He walked back up to his room and used the alchemiter to combine the items from his kitchen with his current weapons. Let's leave it to DragonScribeSprite to explain this faithful event to us.
DRAGONSCRIBESPRITE- Marcos had decided, after having slain many powerful enemies, to forge his blade a new identity, a new life. He searched far across his bedroom and through the great plains of his kitchen until he picked up two almighty items-the potent Whisk of the Dwarves and the fabled Candy Cane of the holy Saint Nicholas. After retrieving these divine items, he climbed the one-thousand steps to reach the roof of his house, and combined them using his futuristic machine, clearly obtained from raiding an intergalactic stronghold on Mars or the Moon, spent a hefty amount of 5600 grist, 1200 tar, and 2350 caulk. With his noble adventure, he was able to obtained the amazing, flawless, legendary, blessed by the gods, filled with Christmas spirit, 2x combo action item of...
"The Whisked Swords of Saint Nicholas!" Marcos shouted, holding his items in the air. They were obviously much better than just some generic double samurai swords. Sure, he would have to change them once Christmas was over, but he could deal with that later. He would need to upgrade his laptop though, too. He walked to his stairs to see that a congregation of miscellaneous imps and brutes had gathered in front of his house. The 3D blue word 'Strife' appeared as he jumped off the roof of his house to begin the fight.
As soon as the parts were deployed, the kernelsprite appeared and needed to be prototyped. Sam had been more concerned about what to alchemize that she had forgotten about the process. She thought for a second then ran to her room. She picked some clothes out of her closet. Then, she lugged her old chair down the stairs and hauled them in. Between the general uniform she had put in and her '80's chair, she combined them to make her kernelsprite.
GROOVYGENERALSPRITE- Drop down and give me twenty!
GROOVYGENERALSPRITE- Never mind, man. Just relax and go with the flow.
GROOVYGENERALSPRITE- Excuse me, other personality, but I'm trying to make a soldier here!
GROOVYGENERALSPRITE- Man, don't be so uptight. Listen to the calls of nature...
GROOVYGENERALSPRITE- C'mon, woman! Work like you mean it!
GROOVYGENERALSPRITE- No man, it's okay. Do what you want. Rent an RV. Travel the woooooorld, man...
GROOVYGENERALSPRITE- ARGGHHH!
GROOVYGENERALSPRITE- Dude, calm down. Let your worries out. I'm here to listen.
GROOVYGENERALSPRITE- IREJDKMSEIWDJSKMXERIDJSKMEDIJSXKMEDIJSK
GROOVYGENERALSPRITE- Woah man, calm the hostility.
After finishing her twenty pushups, she needed to make her weapon. She abandoned the sprite, which was obviously getting into a self-fight, something she thought she would never see. She went into her woodshop and grabbed her saw. She took it, along with the hammer, to the alchemiter. She combined them to make the KINDOFAMACEBUTNOTREALLY Hammersaw. Next? She took her bicycle and combined it with her computer. It came out as the Bicyclomputer. (bye-sick-lum-pewter) The bicycle had a computer screen between the two handlebars and had a voice recognition system. The computer screen was off though, and there was only one way to turn it on. She got on her bike and started pedaling.
The computer turned on, and she said, "Open the Skype Application." It opened. As she pedaled in circles around her house, she started talking to her friends.
SamA- I just got my sprite.
MarcosJ- What is it?
SamA- I mixed my '80's chair with my army suit..
MarcosJ- Continue...
SamA- To get the Groovy General Sprite.
MarcosJ- Oh god.
SamA- Here they are, bickering at each other.
MarcosJ- It must get annoying after a while.
SamA- I can imagine yours would be more.
MarcosJ- Depends on the person, I guess.
Sheesh. Now we can get to Gavin. T'was about time. We've gone like 1000 words and we haven't seen anything. Last thing was something about Space Jam (which is gucci by the way). Anyway, let's continue with Gavin checking out his land. As we know, Marcos is in the land of Roses and Luminescence. Samantha is in the land of Static and Mountains. Matthew and Gavin are still unknown.
Gavin walked out of his house and was welcomed with a conveniently warm BLAST OF HEAT. It sent Gavin into a minor sweating frenzy. "God, I'm going to need some water." He walked over to his sink to find no water was coming out. "S***!" Gavin decided to suck it up and get out there. He walked out to find that pretty much everything was centered around a huge pit. Gavin carefully edged to the perimeter of the pit, then lost his balance. "Ah!" He flailed his arms and started to fall. Luckily, he got the ledge before falling. "Don't look down, don't look down..." And then he looked down. There, he found a huge collection of spider webs. Gavin climbed up so that he didn't fall below. That would've been disastrous. He knew he had to go down there, though. He felt like it would be necessary for his quest, he didn't know why.
A certain boy who has been mentioned several times but never put into a point of view finally woke up from his long slumber. He felt several aches around his body, and could hardly sit up. He groaned. "Mom? Dad?" There was no answer. He pushed himself out of his bed to find his room slightly trashed. "Hey, anyone there- Woah!" Matthew looked out the window to find a bunch of glowing roses. "What? Is this... a dream?" Matthew then heard a voice. "What? Speak, up I can't hear you." Then there was a pause. "Wait, Matthew?" His door opened to see his brother beaming. "Matthew!" Then, Marcos and Matthew joined in a hug. "You were out for three days! I was starting to get worried!" Matthew didn't even know he was out that long. "Here, I'll explain everything. Get your laptop." Then, Matthew got his computer and started downloading the Sburb files. What Matthew and Marcos didn't realize, though, was that two family members playing on the same Sburb session had never been done before. The impact of a meteor threw both Matthew and Marcos off their feet and they were pushed apart and both simultaneously knocked out.
Marcos woke up to find that Matthew was not there anymore. "What happened?" Marcos then looked out the window. His planet before had ended at the horizon, but it was now connected to another planet. He quickly got out of the building and ran towards the intersection. The flowers stopped glowing and changed. They now almost looked like glass. He found Matthew out in front of his house. The two stared at the planet to realize that it was not one planet but two fused together, separated at a perfectly definable line. The flowers, as Marcos pointed out, were tulips. Marcos then realized that Matthew's planet mirrored his own, he was in the land of Tulips and Transparency. They were in uncharted territory, and they probably weren't ready for it.
Samantha was biking around her mountains when she got a message on her Skype account. It was from user AlisonH. It was probably a friend playing a prank on her. She check the IP. Instead of the normal series of numbers and periods, it consisted of numbers and dashes. What the heck is this? Never in my life have I seen anything like this. She stared at the IP. riud-fwaE-tisx-gd. How did that make any sense? Whatever, she had to ask the woman who she was.
SamA- You have 10 seconds to explain who you are before I block you.
AlisonH- C:= I'M an ALTERNIAN citizen.
SamA- And that is...
AlisonH- C:= I'M what YOU humans WOULD call A troll.
AlisonH- C:= I was SENT to ASSIST you IN your KWEST.
SamA- Kwest?
SamA- You mean Quest?
AlisonH- C:= IF that's WHAT you HUMANS call IT, then YES.
SamA- Well, after some research, I've found out about your race.
AlisonH- C:= THERE'S an INTERNET page ABOUT us?
AlisonH- C:= WELL then WE better EMBRACE death NOW.
AlisonH- C:= I'M sure HADES will APPRECIATE our COMING.
SamA- Are you suicidal?
AlisonH- C:= I don't CALL it SUICIDE.
AlisonH- C:= I call IT approaching THE acne OF life.
SamA- Well okay then.
AlisonH- C:= I assume YOU'VE already PROTOTYPED your QERNEL sprite?
SamA- Kernel sprite?
AlisonH- C:= SORRY, I'm TRYING to ADJUST to YOUR human SPELLING.
SamA- Can you cut out the word capitalization stuff? It's really annoying.
AlisonH- C:= MY quirk? NO. It's A part OF me.
AlisonH- C:= THAT would ALMOST be LIKE becoming ETERNAL.
AlisonH- C:= RUINING your FATE.
SamA- Whatever. Do you have any advice for me?
AlisonH- C:= DIE.
SamA- Great way to make friends.
AlisonH- C:= YOU will NEED to DIE.
AlisonH- C:= AND this ISN'T just MY love OF darkness.
AlisonH- C:= YOU have TO die ON...
AlisonH- C:= OH wait. NEVERMIND. I WOULD create SOME kind OF a PARADOX or SOMETHING.
AlisonH- C:= THAT'S what MY moirail SAYS.
AlisonH- C:= YOU know WHAT a MOIRAIL is, RIGHT?
AlisonH- C:= THAT stupid PERSON who IS supposed TO be YOUR best FRIEND and GUARDIAN combo?
SamA- I imagine it wouldn't be stupid.
AlisonH- C:= WELL mine IS like THE most OPTIMISTIC person EVER.
AlisonH- C:= PISSES me OFF.
AlisonH- C:= SHE has A weak SPOT for BABIES too.
AlisonH- C:= WE'RE polar OPPOSITES.
AlisonH- C:= SOMETIMES I EVEN kwestion WHY we're IN a FRIENDLY relationship.
SamA- Question.
AlisonH- C:= WHATEVER.
AlisonH- C:= I believe ONE of YOUR friends WILL be IN contact WITH her SOON.
AlisonH- C:= SHE was THE first ONE to SIGN up TO help YOU human SCUM.
SamA- Hey!
SamA- Well, I can see this is a recurring theme with you, so I'll figure this is normal. Continue.
AlisonH- C:= THEN she VOLUNTEERED me AND our LEADER hates ME, so HE wrote ME down BEFORE I COULD object.
AlisonH- C:= WELL at LEAST you're HALFWAY bearable.
SamA- I'll take that as a compliment?
AlisonH- C:= TAKE it AS whatever YOU want IT to BE.
AlisonH- C:= WELL I HAVE to GO, our LEADER is MAKING me DO stuff NOW.
AlisonH- C:= IN his COMPLETELY unfaltering TONE again.
SamA- Bye.
AlisonH- C:= MEH.
We will now re-join Gavin and his adventure into THE PIT.
Gavin was ready. On the edge of the gaping hole, weapon in hand, nothing but some rope and a flashlight, started to scale down the cliffs. He hopped, let some rope loose, then stopped against the wall. He slowly descended deeper and deeper, closer to the bottom. Suddenly, his weapon dropped out of his hands, clanging against some ledges, and hit the ground. "No! My shovel!" He yelled. It was up to a game of eenie meanie minie moe in the garden shed. I guess it's easier to use than the lawn mower though. Finally, he hit the sand below. He plucked his shovel out of the ground, luckily it wasn't harmed, and started to walk through the cave. He then encountered a spider. It hissed at him. As he readied his shovel, the spider sank back in fear. "Huh. I thought Spiders were supposed to leap on your face or something." To his amazement, the spider responded to him. "Ohhh yah, ooohhhhhoh yah, we're supposed toooooo ah bite your face offfffff yeah but our leeeeedaahhhh wants to killlllll uhhhhhhs." Gavin smiled at the use of the spider's acapella. "Oh. I won't hurt you then. Who's your leader?" The spider explained, in his sing-song voice, the treacherous work they did to not be eaten alive. "Hhheeeeee'ssss ahhhhhh you'rreeeee deniiiiiizaaaan." Gavin looked at him with a puzzled face. "Why don't you escape then? There's the pit up to the surface." The spider sang with, "Oooohhhhhh nooooooo, it's too hot, ooooohhhhh..." Gavin nodded. He would have to see what a 'denizen' was. Until then, he explored the cave.
One of the most disturbing rooms was the nursery. Instead of spiders cradling their babies and singing songs, the baby spiders were skittering around and doing chores for this massive spider in the center. That must be the leader. He then exited the tunnel and climbed back up. He needed to draft a plan. He walked up to his house and popped on his computer. He had gotten a contact request from someone. No one he had ever heard of before. Some character known as JovenaL. He didn't put the request down though, he instead decided to get an explanation. He accepted and was ready to interrogate her.
JovenaL- HAI111
John stared at the object in awe. He could destroy it and the two could escape, but he thought about the consequences of failure. He made a mental note of where it was, grabbed a few pieces of paper and a pen that were being used for research, and dashed out the door. He again weaved through the halls until he reached the cell. It was locked though, and Rose was is it, but John was trapped outside. He pushed the items through the door. "Hide them in your hood or something. I found out something they might want to know." Rose nodded, but asked, "How are you going to get in?" John shrugged. He didn't need to answer the question, though, because the two guards behind him did. They opened the cell and slammed him against the wall as hard as possible. John was instantly out.
