Chapter 2
"So you are a Dark Knight? Cool....what exactly can you do? And where did you come from?" John asked as they sat down next to the fire.
"Whoa...one question at a time. I came from Athlon. What happened was on of the monsters took me by surprise....Everything is different here. It's strange...you'd think the monsters would be the same huh?"
"Yeah...I guess they aren't....maybe it has something to do with the climate? Or balance of power..."
"I doubt that John...the balance of power? Pfffft."
"Hey it could be possible!" They both laughed at this then laid down and dozed off. Yes...ignorance can be bliss at times...however, not all the time...
"So...Slade decided to team up with John...how cute...' He snickered at the thought of this, "However...they still won't be able to beat me..." He then laughed, not a normal laugh mind you, one of those laughs that chill you to the bone. Trust me, if you were anything within the sound of that laugh...well...you'd probably run the other direction...fast. The strange man disappeared which left a small shimmer of green light which disappeared after a couple seconds. Slade awoke with a start, cold gleaming sweat was dripping down his face, something wasn't right...and he knew it...
"John" he whispered. "JOHN! Wake up"
"No..." came the response. "I don't wanna ride the pony..." Slade punched John in the arm which was responded with a Water Spell.
"John..."
"Sorry Slade, you startled me...heh...heh..." Slade grabbed his blanket and dried himself off.
"It's ok...I think we have a problem..."
"Really? What?"
"We are surrounded..."
"WHAT!?!!?"
"Shhh..." Slade put his hand over John's mouth. "Look we can't let them know we know that they're there! So just follow my lead ok? On the count of three we attack ok?" As Slade said this he pulled out his sword and John pulled out his. "One...two....THREE!! GO!" John and Slade rushed towards their "hidden" attackers.
