~Chapter 25~
The group stood staring at the Greeble.
"Look, are you really sure you want to do this? I mean, I'm not happy that thing ate Jared either, but this is suicide!" JD shouted.
"If you don't want to help then don't. But just stay out of my way." Link responded.
"Even if we do help, that thing is huge! It will cream us!" Mitch shouted.
"An elephant can kill thousands of ants, but eventually it will be eaten alive." Link said.
"So what exactly are we supposed to do?" JD asked. The greeble was advancing and the group was doing their best to stay out of its range.
"Just fight the damn thing! Hit it with anything you got!" Link shouted.
"What a wonderful strategy…" Ron muttered. Regardless, the group did their best to attack the creature yet still stay out of harms way. Unfortunately, and expectedly, the attacks did nothing to the greeble's hard stone body.
"Ok, this isn't working Link." JD said. "We need a plan, we can't just attack blindly."
"Ok ok, just distract it for a minute." Link responded. JD sighed and jumped around in front of it, trying to provoke the monster. The plan was successful and the greeble focused on JD and swung a huge rocky hand at him. JD rolled out of the way as the hand swept over him. Link ran behind the greeble and started scaling the cliff behind it. When he got high enough, he jumped off and onto the greeble. The rock monster swung its hand around and swatted at Link, who jumped onto the creature's wide shoulder.
"Come on, show me a weak point." Link muttered to himself. But none could be noticed. Link tried stabbing the creatures head but the sword would only ricochet off. Below, Fenix had tried using the earth essence to shift the ground below the greeble and make it fall. The ground would open up and the greeble's foot would sink in but then it would just heave it back out again. It was beginning to seem that this thing was in fact invincible. Link to jam his sword into one of the joints between the creature's limbs, it seemed to move and close the small gap before Link could get his sword in. The group below was continually busy trying to avoid the greeble's attacks. Fenix had powered up an earth attack when the greeble threw a large chunk of rock at him and he had to jump to the side, accidentally shooting the attack at the cliff wall. This cause a slight tremor to run through the cliff side and a small boulder broke off from above. It came crashing down on the greeble's shoulder, almost crushing link, who jumped aside just in time.
"Watch it with those attacks, will ya?!" Link shouted. But then he looked back and noticed the boulder had taken out the greeble's right shoulder, and thus, the entire right arm. On the torso where the shoulder used to be connected was a black shiny gel-like substance.
"Please…" Link muttered hopefully as he jumped onto the greeble's shoulder and raised his sword. He forcefully down into the black stuff. The sword seemed to sink down into the creature. It let out a deep, loud howl of pain and Link jabbed his sword in the joint below its head. Apparently it his another weak spot because the head fell off and the entire creature imploded and crumbled to the ground. Link sighed and jumped off the pile of rubble.
"Thank God…" he muttered to himself, wiping sweat off his brow.
"Boy, those sure were some nice moves…" Ron muttered.
"Let's keep going." Link said. The others agreed and soon they were continuing up the path. Behind them, the rubble began to shudder and move.
Lauren stumbled through the dense forest. She had no clue where she was or going.
"I'm gonna be wandering in this stupid forest for the rest of my life. I've decided that I hate forests. From now on, I support logging companies." She muttered to herself as she walked. She had been walking for several hours now through the dark woodland area. And she continued walking, for several more hours.
"Where the hell is all the civilization on this damn continent?!" she shouted. The sun was beginning to peak through the trees. And then, more hours passed.
"You know what, I'm about this close to killing myself and/or the author of this---" and suddenly the forest ended! *ahem* Ahead of her loomed an extremely tall mountain.
"That's it, hand me a gun." Suddenly, a very gigantic…giant…. rumbled in front of her. It stood at least 40 feet tall.
"Y'know," Lauren sighed. "I'm way too damn tired to run and struggle and all that crap, so just, take me now."
"Works for me." The giant shrugged and scooped her up, carrying her back up the mountain.
Link and Co. continued climbing up the huge mountain. Fog had surrounded them as they continued to climb, and even a few were getting nosebleeds. They were high. Really high. Jim Breuer high. Wow, that's high.
"How much further?" Justin asked. "I'm getting tired of this mountain."
"I don't really know." JD answered. "We should be almost there." Soon they came across a sign. 'Danger: Giant.' They continued to walk. 'Go no further' another sign said. 'I'm serious, turn back.' 50 feet later. 'Yo, dude, I aint playin. This aint right. Go back, man.' Yet another. 'Fine, don't listen to me, I'm just a stupid sign… punk…'
"I think we're almost there." Link said. The clouds became thicker than ever. Finally the ground leveled out and became flat.
"So, where's this 'giant'?" Justin asked. As if on cue, the clouds parted, revealing a large, huge, gigantic, humongous, enormous, did I mention big? castle looming ahead of them *insert dramatic music*.
"Holy crap! That thing is huge!" Link shouted. "That's got to be as big as a skyscraper… And about as wide as one is tall too."
"What the hell is a skyscraper?" JD asked.
"I---Don't---Know…" Link paused. "Anyway, we should try to get in." They walked up to the stone structure and around it, searching for some kind of entrance, They reached a large wooden door that was about 20 feet wide and 50 feet tall.
"Alright, a door… Now how do we get in…?" Link mumbled. Suddenly the door swung open.
"Alright! My mail order dolls have arrived!" the giant exclaimed. "Wait… those aren't dolls… those are intruders!"
"Well isn't this peachy…" JD mumbled as the giant scooped them all up.
The group stood staring at the Greeble.
