Techno Chess Battle
***Liz***
Darkness began to creep into the perimeter of orange light. Liz lay still, overwhelmed and exhausted, yet she was only barley asleep. Silently, a shadow like tentacle wove its way slowly along the ground. Sensing evil, Liz lifted an eye jadedly, just as the tentacle wrapped around her leg. Suddenly, sleep left her and she let out a scream. Pulling at the walls she tried to escape but the tendril held her in place. Desperately, she threw the flaming water balloon into the darkness at the source of the tentacle. There was a hideous chorus of screams and a pulse of light. In the short light Liz saw a colossal ghastly creature black as shadow writhing in a mass of tentacles and blood, and let out another scream. Tired as she was she began to stagger away as the light died out and darkness fell. Liz, terrified beyond exhaustion felt along the wall; she made her way forward till she felt air blow by from an open corridor, she felt the corner and took off running; she still could feel that the thing was confused but starting to come after her. An unbelievable terror.
***Edward, Natasia, and Kara***
"Ok" Edward said, "so it's a chess board. I get it." Every one looked and saw that it was, indeed, a chess board. The pieces, though not realistic, identified the normal chess pieces, pawns being little towers with orbs on top. There were two ledges on either side of the chessboard; the kids were on one, but the other was across the lava chessboard. They were on the white side. Edward took a few steps forward to get a better look at their side. Suddenly, dots of light began to appear in little circles on the floor, one behind each back-row chess piece. Puzzled the group got back together, frustrated at this change of pace.
"We need to hurry," Natasia said, "we don't know what might have happened to Liz."
"But how do we play the game, and get across the room?" Kara asked.
"Probably," Edward replied, "when we get on the pieces we'll be able to control our side, and when we win we'll be able get to the other side."
"You think so?" Nat said, "Well what are we waiting for, Liz needs us." Natasia quickly walked over to the queen designated lights. There was a blaze of light and instantly Natasia was teleported on top of the queen. Quickly, Kara and Edward selected their pieces; Kara on a rook and Edward took a knight. As soon as they had all chosen their pieces they found Edward had been wrong. Suddenly, the pawn in front of the king from the white side moved forward. It glided forward slowly above the lava, as if by magic, actually it was magic so just disregard the as if, k. It moved forward two squares and then stopped.
"Looks like we don't control it," Edward said puzzled. Just then, all three of the kids looked up at the other side of the board as black made its move, but now, from this angle, they saw what was on the other pieces. Apparently as the trio appeared on their pieces, adjacent to them other creatures appeared.
"Ahhh," Natasia screamed, "what are those things?" Across the room on the knight, queen and rook, were things that seemed to be hideous creatures of stone. Large in size, they looked like Gargoyles but with more human faces, yet they hadn't any mouths. There were three of them crouched with their hands crushed deep into their pieces.
"Uh oh," Edward said aloud. Pieces began to move and the trio prepared for a fight.
***Melody and Mack***
They flew down the corridor passing a few side passages and the corridor grew steadily darker. They slowed when up around a bend they saw the light of a lantern, and rushed into one of the side rooms. Moving his hands quickly, Mack conjured an illusionary wall to fill the opening, just as they saw Mrs. Rayne come around the corner.
"She might be coming through here," Mack whispered, "we should find better hiding."
"Yes," Melody agreed. They ran down the corridor into a big room, but before they could hide they found a room full of bookies.
"Shoot, no hiding now." Mack said, "can you fight?"
"These things?" Melody said a slightly disconcerted smile crossed her face, "no problem." Drawing his rapier, Mack leapt into the fray, plunging it deep into the bulk of the nearest bookie; ink splattered everywhere. Right behind him, Melody sized up, and started taking bookies down with her kukri. With a powerful swing Melody's kukri grew and pulverized a couple bookies. Still in recoil with the kukri blade touching the ground a bookie came up behind her. Seeing it, Melody lifted a leg and with a mighty kick sent the bookie fling across the room. Mack went through with severing a bookies head, and in the backstroke turned the point on a bookie beside him. Thrusting the blade forward he launched the bookie, head first, over to Melody's ring of fighting along with knocking over a few more. Melody super-sized her elbow and let it come crashing down on the bookies head. It went down and didn't get back up. Quickly, the two students destroyed the platoon, and stood to catch their breath after the battle; when the sound of foot falls began to come near.
"Quick," Mack said. He pulled Melody over to the wall, which enveloped them, and they were effectively camouflaged. From this hidden point they watched as Mrs. Rayne walked across the room, and shuddered as a displeased look crossed her face.
"Foolish children, they are becoming increasingly more of a nuisance." Mrs. Rayne scowled as she saw the remnants of the battle.
"There should be one of the children up ahead, the pyro-weather I believe." The bookie responded.
"Interesting wording for the insolent child," Mrs. Rayne replied, "that girl is taken care of, but you are far from." She raised her hand and the bookie froze as bright red light began to glow from it feet, swirling slowly upward. Soon the bookie, enveloped in light, was molded into an orb and Mrs. Rayne pocketed it within the folds of her cloak. With her dark crimson lips in a sinister curl she moved herself out of the present plot.
As Mrs. Rayne left the wall fell away like a curtain, revealing Mack and Melody plastered to the wall.
"That took a bit out of me," Mack said slightly out of breath
"Are you ok," Melody asked.
"Yea, but we should really go find Liz quick." Mack said hurriedly
"Liz?" Melody asked
"Yea, the pyro-weather is her," Mack explained
"Well, it sounds like she's in trouble lets go." The duo went off in the direction the bookie had indicated. Into guess what a long corridor, hmm really ought to improve scenery, oh well. Hmm maybe I should just leave. . . oh rambling again, oh well the narrator/writer can do that so there :p.
***Jessica***
"Ok, I'm like really tired of this stupid chained to a desk thing." Jessica said angrily. Frustrated, she tried the extent of the chains, at the full length the manacles simply snapped off.
"They weren't even locked" Jessica exclaimed surprised at her own obliviousness.
"Oh well," Jessica thought and ran from the room. "Maybe Mrs. Rayne will just forget about me," she thought, and ran right into a room full of bookies.
*** Edward, Natasia, and Kara***
Upon their precarious perches the students watched the opening moves, pawn forward, pawn forward two, bishop, and so on.
"I wonder what happens when we lose a piece," Kara thought. As if to answer her question an exchange went on. The children watched dispirited as one of the opposing pawns moved towards their bishop and watched aghast as the Bishop sank into the lava as the pawn took the bishops place. "Guess that answers my question" Kara thought a bit crossly. Edward surveyed the situation, and quickly shouted,
"Kara, it's you next . . . their moving the rook."
"Uh hm" Kara nodded and braced herself. Suddenly, Kara's rook took life and rocketed halfway across the board.
"You ok , Kara," Natasia asked worriedly.
"Yea, but I've been. . ." said Kara a bit breathless, but her words were cut off as a black piece came flying forward, it was the adjacent rook and it came right up to the diagonal of Kara's piece. At this range Kara got a good look at the hideous creature atop it. She was barley able to stifle a scream as the monstrous stone figure moved her direction and gave a mouth-less smile. Horrified Edward and Natasia watched as the monster began to draw its hand from the stone revealing nails, pointy nails, which were about a foot long. From its own perch the gargoyle took a swipe at Kara, who barley dodged it. Kara's brow deepened,
"You did not just try to attack me," Kara said angrily, she held out a hand and shot a force bubble at the beast.
"Hhrumph," The monster made a garbled sound and was a bit stunned.
Some more pieces moved
"Looks like I'm next after their move," Edward called to Natasia, "now you can see me in valiant action,"
"Wait," Natasia thought aloud, "if the knight jumps pieces how does it move here?" They watch as the black knight adjacent to them quivered, and then shot up and above the other pieces as the ceiling extended up with it.
"Uh oh," Edward said as he looked down at his knight, which quivered as the ceiling began to raise (its magic).
"Fwoosh," Edwards knight rocketed up and forward.
"Eeeeeeeee" Edward screamed holding on for dear life. It landed with a sickening amount of recoil.
"Ok," Edward said dizzily, "I can deal with this, looks like the fights about to begin." Now the fight begins, the camera pans in cool angles as background music plays in background, my personal choice is Tetris Russian Theme (Techno Remix) but you can play any music while you read. If you don't have Tetris Remix get Edward to tell you where it is. Piece began to fly around as the game sped up, Edward takes out a flameing crossbow and begins to fire away, while holding on as his horse moves. He and the black knight gargoyle trade blows, flying around the same area. Kara's rook moves about taking out some pawns but the rook gargoyle seems to shadow her. Nat and the queen move onto the scene but do little except take out the other bishop.
"Ha," Edward cried as he struck the queen-gargoyle with a flaming crossbow bolt as his knight neared enemy lines, "Can you feel it, punk?" Edward yelled and went all DDR style, caught up in the music. Camera spins around Edward's l33t dancing skills as the knight flies over and crashes into the rook with a gargoyle on it.
"Kaboosh" the rook explodes into dust as the knight comes crashing down the gargoyle leaps and the recoil bounces Edward off the horse. Natasia looks over as her queen move into a position near Kara.
"Noooo," She cried but looked hopefully as Edwards hand came around and caught a design on the bottom of the piece. Quickly Edward formed a handhold with a flaming sword.
"Phew," there was a collective sigh among the children; as Edward tried to get up the piece it leaped forward. Edward held as his legs flailed about in the open air. Through thought speech he managed to weakly say, "I'll be alright for now." The girls though had other things to attend to as Natasia's queen move towards the gargoyle-knight. Now that the game was moving fast, the black knight looked almost comical as Natsia's queen chased it. As Natasia moved to a different angle she checked Edward, and was horrified. The rook-gargoyle had latched onto the opposite side of Edwards knight and was beginning to climb to the top of the knight.
"Aahhhhh" Natasia screamed in thought speech, "Edward there's a monster on your piece," They all looked up and saw in horror as the gargoyle mounted the horse.
"Oh well," Edward though-speeched, "what's he gonna do?" To answer Edward question the monster took it's foot-long claws and shoved them all the way into the horse head of the piece. The trio looked on puzzled, as within the piece there grew a great rumbling, and, to the astonishment of the kids, a huge crack made it's way from the gargoyles hand to the horses muzzle. With a great screech from the beast it wrenched claw from the head and began beating the knight with it's colossal fists. "Holy sshh. . ." Edward cried aloud as a great deal of dust issued out of the crack and the piece shuddered and trembled with weakness.
***Afterward***
Edward: Where are the cheetos
Narator: Not now Edward
Edward: :p
Jessica: You did it again, I only got a small chapter
Narator: Don't worry you'll get more I just had to cut this one short
Liz: Are you trying to kill me
Narrator: Maybe . . . Maybe not. . . I guess we'll never know
Liz: *Grummbles*
Narrator: Ok this is lame I'm just going to not do this unless I have a good idea
*Collective agreement*
I'm updating soon so just read it ok, in the meantime watch Edwards l33t Dance Dance Revolution Skills. Seeya.
