Terror of the Stone Monster
I couldn't just let Nazareth fight that thing alone. I chased after him, following him through the door. As soon as I ran through, my visor went haywire. The dungeon around me started to flash inverted colors, and before I knew it, Nazareth and I were no longer in the dungeon. We were in some bizarre area. We were on a giant floating stone platform. It had weird neon- green scale like-things on it. There were many similar platforms around us. "Nazareth," I said, "Where are we?" My voice was shaking, and my controller was soaked with sweat. "I don't know, Zeke, but I get the feeling that we should get out of here. Fast," he said. I looked over to my left. The monster was swinging its staff at the mysterious girl. She dodged the swings and teleported. The monster hit the ground with its staff in frustration. Suddenly it stopped. It turned around. It was staring directly at Nazareth and I. I will never forget the way that looked. It had no real face, only three holes in its head. But it was terrifying. That faceless stare. "Run!" I yelled. We turned and ran, but the monster the monster was quickly in front of us. "We'll have to fight our way through!" said Nazareth. I whipped out my blades and started slicing away at it. But every time I missed. It was the same with Nazareth. This was no ordinary monster. It held up its staff, and with one sweep, it hit Nazareth and I across the platform. I felt that pain. Something was wrong. Suddenly, it tossed its staff toward us. It landed behind Nazareth. Suddenly he was raised up into the air, and was held there as if tied with some sort of invisible rope. A bizarre bracelet thing began to grow from the monster's right hand. I wanted to help Nazareth, but I was frozen in fear. The bracelet-thing had now grown enormous. It shot out suddenly and stabbed straight through Nazareth. I heard his scream. It was not a scream of surprise. It was a scream of pain. A scream of agony. He dropped to the ground. He wasn't moving. "Nazareth!!!" I yelled. There was no response. The next thing I knew, the staff was behind me. I was being raised into the air. I tried to drop my controller, and throw off my visor. But I couldn't. I was paralyzed. The bracelet-thing began to grow. Like with Nazareth, the bracelet shot out. I could feel the pain as the bracelet stabbed me. Never in my life had I felt such pain. Thankfully, the pain snapped me out of my paralysis. I threw my controller and visor to the ground. I was soaked with sweat all over. I fell out of my chair and onto the floor, which I then vomited onto. I looked up at my computer. It was going berserk. It was shooting sparks everywhere. A second later, my computer monitor shattered. I tried to stand up, but the pain in my chest caused me to collapse to the floor. I slipped into unconsciousness.
