Chapter 9- Awakening
Jesse awoke in a location foreign to him, it was extremely hot, and the roof and floor was covered with stalagmites. None of this made sense to Jesse, he should be dead. The last thing he remembered was him being squished by a dragon, and then nothing. Jesse, with some new found strength, stood up and looked around for a while, and then decided he had to find civilization. He wandered the stalagmite cavern for what seemed like hours, until he came upon something interesting, it seemed to be a bunch of turtles raiding someone. Not sure if he should step out and stop them, Jesse, tried to creep back slowly without them noticing.
Unfortunately, Jesse tripped over a rock and yelled, "FUCK!" really loud. That caught the turtle's attention rather quickly. They ran to Jesse's location, at which point Jesse realized who they were.
"The Koopa Bros?" Jesse asked. They looked at him, and then each other and started to laugh manically.
"Two humans in one day? What a score!" they cheered. The Koopa Bros went in to beat Jesse; Jesse covered his face with his hand when something happened. Right before the Koopa Bros could throw a punch, a giant long ass sword appeared in Jesse's hands, and Jesse didn't know how it got there.
All Jesse heard was, "Masamune, you need some protection if you're going to revive me," said the voice in Jesse's head. The Koopa Bros only backed off for a second, until they went right back in for the kill. Not sure if it was his own skill, or some unknown force controlling him, Jesse slashed upwards instantly killing one of them. It fell over, but that only enraged the other three. The three jumped at him, But Jesse, leaned onto his back, and leapt up kicking the three of them out of his way, causing them to fall to the side. Jesse turned around and instantly impaled one who was down, killing him. One of the other ones charged at Jesse in its shell form, Jesse jumped up and landed on the shell. Somehow Jesse managed to stay balanced on the shell while still spinning on it. The other one came at Jesse, thinking him unprepared to do anything in his state. However all Jesse had to do was stick his sword out and the Koopa got sliced in half as it jumped at him. Getting really tired of spinning, Jesse stabbed his sword into the opening of the shell. A torrent of blood flowed out, and the shell gradually stopped spinning. Jesse jumped off the shell, confused as to how he did all that.
"Good, you are well on your way to reviving me," said the voice in your head. Jesse just shook his head, not sure what to think. He then looked over at the body the Koopa Bros were raiding, and saw it was Jeff! Jesse ran over to his side, and checked to see if Jeff was still breathing. He was, and his eyes were open, but he had little to no pulse, and it was like he was sleeping with his eyes open. Jesse wasn't about to leave his friend there, so Jesse took Jeff and slung one arm over his shoulder and lifted Jeff up. At this point the voice in his head was screaming,
"NO! YOU FOOL! DO NOT TAKE HIM WITH YOU! YOU'LL RUIN EVERYTHING!" Jesse didn't care about what some voice in his head was telling him to do, and set off to find help. At the end of the stalagmite maze, he found an unusual sight, a large castle surrounded by more koopas, some goombas, and inside he heard a strange roaring. "Go, in there, your destiny awaits. Kill the demon within to awaken the one inside," the voice commanded, and this time Jesse was forced to obey. Jesse wandered off, leaving Jeff by a stalagmite, and prepared to kill the monster in the castle, and anything in his way.
