Author's Note: Thanks for reviewing, the few who have, especially Aerena!
That's really all I hafta say in this note, so yeah....
Disclaimer: I don't own LoD. Well, technically, I own a copy of the game LoD, but you know what I mean
Chapter 3: Our First Boss Fight!! Yay!!
(Our heroes are almost out of Hellena!! As they race towards the exit, they find themselves face-to-face with a small roadblock)
Melvin and Ania: SWAIM?!
Wesley: Who the hell are you?
Swaim: I'm the head warden of this fine establishment, and I'm here to make sure you don't go any further!
Wesley: You two know him?
Melvin: He goes to school with us.
Ania: Unfortunetly.
Swaim: *notices Ania, looks disgusted* Seeing as how you two dudes have Ugly with you here, I should just let you go. Seems that she's been scaring all the captives with her face!!
Ania: censored you.
Wesley: That wasn't nice -- neither of you
Swaim: Well, even if I let y'all go that Hooded guy will kick my ass. So you'd better fight me if you wanna get outta here!
Wesley: *draws sword* Sounds like a challenge
(And so the screen dissolves and the battle begins. Swaim is accompanied by two senior wardens, who are slightly tougher than the regular wardens. The trio quickly defeated one of the wardens, but just before he died, the senior warden gave our heroes a little present)
Senior Warden: Argh! If I'm going to hell, I might as well take you with me!! *Throws Gushing Magma*
(Towers of lava surrounded the party, but only for a short time. The senior warden then dissapeared in a cloud of red smoke)
Ania: OW!! *20 damage [estimate]*
Melvin:*10 damage* How thoughtful
(The second senior warden did the same thing and soon, it was just Swaim and our little trio. Swaim would occasionally bash someone with his club or throw huge boulders at another.)
Swaim: *throws boulder at Ania*
Ania: *20 damage* Hey!! I thought you wanna keep me alive!!
Swaim: That doesn't mean I can't knock you around once in a while. This is for breaking me and my girlfriend up!!*throws boulder at Ania*
Ania: *dies*
Swaim: Oops. My bad
Wesley and Melvin: OMG! What do we do?!
Mysterious Male Voice Over Intercom: Man, you two are dense. What do you think those items are for?!
Mysterious Female Voice Over Intercom: Dart!! You help them one more time and I swear...*smack*
M.M.V.O.I: Ow! Geez, Shana, you're supposed to be the healer in this group. Carry on. *Click*
Swaim: That was odd.
Wesley: Yeess...very...anyways, it's not my turn. Melvin, you're gunna hafta do it
Melvin: O...k...*takes out small jar from his pocket* Hmm....Angel's Prayer....*reading* Directions: To resurect and give half health to a member of your party, unscrew cap and throw into the air. Keep out of reach of children. Side effects may include....
Wesley: Quit stalling, just heal her!!
Melvin: Fine! Geez *unscrews cap and throws in the air*
Ania: *back to life* Aaahhh....what the hell?...
Swaim: How come I can't do that?
Wesley: Don't question, just shoot.
Ania: Gladly.
(Our dense heroes just learned something new. Maybe the quality of public education isn't as good as we thought it to be....anyways, the trio eventually brought Swaim's health low enough to defeat him. But he doesn't die yet...)
Swaim: *sitting on the floor* Argh!!
Wesley: Is he immortal?
Melvin: You'd think if he could take a beating like that, he'd do better in wrestling.
(Wesley and Melvin stole two horse/giant aardvark animals and Ania climbed on the one Wesley stole. They rode out of Hellena and deserted the beasts just outside the Prairie, since they could hide easier without them. Wesley, followed by Ania then Melvin, ran quickly through the Prairie but Melvin is soon shot in the foot)
Melvin: OW! Damn!
Ania: You okay?
Melvin: I'll live, but we gotta hide quick!
(Our fugitives found a patch of tall grass to conceal themselves in. Two wardens approach the same patch of tall grass and see the reeds rustling. Oh no! Will our heroes be discovered?....)
Warden 1: What's that?!
Warden 2: It's them!! I know it!! We got them now!!
(The wardens bear their weapons and point it straight at what seems to be Wesley, Melvin, and Ania. The reeds shake violently and what emerges from the grass is....a rabbit)
Rabbit: *nose wiggle and hops away* [how cute!! ^_^]
Warden 1: Is this our fugitive?
Warden 2: Of course not, dumbass! *Smack*
Warden 1: That was uncalled-for! I was being sarcastic!
Warden 2: Whatever. Let's check this way. *They run in the opposite direction*
(Apparently, our heroes are smarter than we thought, for they crawled through the grass and watched the two feuding wardens from the other side of the reeds. I'm so proud of them!! Anyways, the group soon finds an empty shed to rest in and treat Melvin's wound)
Ania: There. Good as new.
Wesley: I didn't know that you could do that
Ania: I kinda had to learn it in health last year. Plus, it's supposed to be a part of the plot.
[Here is were I hafta make them actually know something about the game. Dart doesn't feel like being slapped by Shana again]
Wesley: Really?
Ania: In the game, we grew up in the same town -- Seles in fact. Then you left five years ago. *Smack* Bastard!
Wesley: Ow! Sorry!!
Melvin: Why did you leave Seles?
Wesley: To pursue [a word you will see alot] the Black Monster. He killed my parents and destoyed my first hometown, Neet.
Melvin: Damn that sucks
Wesley: Yeah. It was horrible....
*Flashback*
(Snowy Neet is up in flames and a terrible winged demon holds a royal soldier of Mille Seseau by the throat. We don't know what they are saying -- all we hear in the low, raspy voice of the demon growling at the soldier who later cries screams of agonizing pain as the Black Monster sets him aflame. Three people are seen fleeing the burning town -- a five-year-old Wesley, his red-haired father, and raven-haired mother.)
Wesley: My mother, father, and I escaped from the village, but my father, a warrior in his younger days, thought that he could go back and save the town by destroying the Black Monster. My mother, also a natural fighter, wanted to help. They said goodbye to each other and to me, leaving me in the forest outside the town. The next day I went back to Neet, hoping I could find my mom and dad there. But all I found was my father's memento that he always carried around.
*Flashback over*
Wesley: *holding memento, which is a small red stone glowing brightly* I've had this ever since. And five years ago, I went out to find the Black Monster and kill him.
Melvin: Revenge?
Wesley: Like you wouldn't believe
Ania: Psh. Men.
Wesley: *quickly changing the subject* So Melvin, you all healed up?
Melvin: For now. I mean, I can walk and all
Wesley: Alright, let's go.
Ania: Go where?
Wesley: Good question.
Melvin: Well, you guys might as well come with me to Bale. I gotta go tell King Boberto the bad news -- my knighthood was annilated.
Wesley: Ouch
Melvin: Ya know what, we got this super smart dude at the Castle -- Minister Vicente -- he might know something bout the Black Monster
Wesley: Sweet
Ania: Boberto? And Vicente? You don't mean....
Melvin: Probably.
Ania: How come I couldn't be royalty?! But noooo....I had to be put in prison and my love interest is him *points to Wesley*
Wesley: I'm not that bad. Tina and Nikole obviously saw something in me.
Ania: Well, look at what Nikole dated before you *points to Melvin*
Melvin: Leave me outta this!!
Wesley: WHAT?! Nikole dated you?!
Melvin: No comment.
[You, the reader, must understand that we (my social group) all have dated each other at least once in our short lives (except for those within our own sex). Don't ask, looong stories]
Ania: And you haven't even seen Tina's previously boyfriends...wait, you have met Leroy...
Wesley: You know what, I don't wanna know. Fine, let's go to Bale.
(And so, that painful conversation ends and the trio set out for Bale. They quickly find themselves in the Limestone Cave, where a monster, who terrorized travelers, was rumored to live there. I think our genius president Dubya [sarcasm] would consider him a "terroist" and a part of the "axis of evil.")
Wesley: So where is this monster?
Melvin: Dunno. Hey! Maybe we won't hafta fight him!
Ania: Chicken!!
Melvin: You better be nice to me -- I saved your ass back in Hellena, remember?!
Wesley: Hey! Whadda bout me?!
Melvin: She's in love with you, so she hasta be nice to you.
Ania: AM NOT!!
Melvin: Are to!
Ania: AM NOT!!
Wesley: Shhhh!! You hear that?
(A faint hissing echoed through the Cave, and soon a long brown snake emerged from the shadows of the Cave. It beared its fangs and forked tongue and lunged for the trio. Screen dissolves, battle begins. What actually happens in the battle isn't important, but what happens after the battle is...)
(When our heroes damaged the snake enough, Wesley did his end-of-the-battle- Dart-move..)
Wesley: *runs up to the snkae, sword drawn* TA! *Jumps, slashes at the snake* [end-of-the-battle-Dart-move]
(So the snake falls dead on its side, green blood oozing from its mouth. The trio leans over the corspe and, making sure it was dead, stepped over the snake and walked toward the exit of the Cave. Ania was the last in line. Suddenly, the snake rises to strike Ania one final time!)
Wesley: Ania, look out!!
(As the snake leans in to eat our heroine, she responses by emitting a bright blue-white light from her body with a luminating insignia on her forehead. The snake insinerated in the light, and Ania fell to her knees once the light had faded.)
Wesley: Ania! Are you okay?
Ania: I...think so...
Melvin: What the hell was that?!
Ania: I -- I don't know!! Look, let's just go.
(And so they did, leaving with a feeling of confusion and uneasiness)
