Note: Hmmm…Wonder how you kill the spaces in stories…Evil…**looks up from her computer** Eer, Hi! Sorry about my ramblings. I'm just getting angry at FF.net and my EVIL Dragon Ball Html page…How the hell do frames work? Eer, never mind. Well, lets get started.
Disclaimer: Blah blah blah… I own me and that's it.
Onward to Victory!
~*~*~
A loud bang resounded though out all the camp. I woke up with a start. "What the heck was that?" I mumbled. I heard yelling from the other side of the camp. Quickly grabbing both my sword and club, I jumped up and ran over to the noise.
"YOU!! HOW DARE YOU WAKE ME UP, YOU UGLY BEAST FROM HELL!" Yelled Maureen swinging her staff around and knocking Carvers out left and right. "I WANNA SLEEP AND I'M GOING TO! NO ONE IS GONNA WAKE ME UP AGAIN!" She roared throwing her famous fireball. The little blue beasts ran for their lives. She was acting like a steamed up moose that was just disturbed.
"Whoa…Nice Mo…" I said to the steamed up teenager, backing away from her. She glared at me. "Umm…" She smiled and extinguished her fireball she was holding. She looked around and laid back down on the ground. In a matter of moments she was dead asleep. "Umm…okay…" I muttered as Dan came running up along with Aly.
"What happened here?" Dan asked, giving me an ice cold look.
I shivered and glared at him. "I don't know. One moment, sleeping beauty," I pointed to Mo who was smiling mischievously in her sleep. "Is fighting and the next she's sleeping." I heard Aly laugh.
"Yup, sounds like Mo. I'm going back to sleep." She said laughing. She walked back to her tent and went back asleep. I shrugged and turned around` to go back my sleeping mat, under the stars of the night. I felt Dan's cold glare on my back all the way back to my mat. It gave me the chills.
I laid back down and stared up at the sky. I found Orion's belt and Sirius, the Dog Star. I smiled as I saw other familiar constellations. 'It's weird…We're in a completely different world and the Stars and the Moon are still the same…' I watched the sky looking out into the vast darkness. The stars twinkling like diamonds in coal. 'The night sky seems familiar and yet…it doesn't…' I closed my eyes and listened. I heard owls and wolves off in the distance, the soft breathing of my friends around the camp, and the crashing of steel against steel.
My eyes snapped open. 'The clashing of steal against steel? That's not normal.' I sprang up to my feet and grabbed my sword. Racing off towards the commotion, I was joined by a very sleepy Dru.
"What's going," He yawned, "On?"
I replied as I ran, "No clue. Let's see." He yawned again and followed me. Arriving at the scene, we saw Stuart being strangled by a gigantic boa constrictor. Stu was bashing his shield against the snakes head and rock. 'Oh, it wasn't steel against steel…I get it now.' I thought watching Stuart. Jen arrived on the scene too. We just stood there watching for a minute or two.
It was rather hilarious to watch Stu battle a boa. Stu, with his legs pinned together, was sitting up right bashing himself, the boa, and a rock with his battered shield. He was shouting some rather nasty words, that I probably shouldn't repeat, too. We finally snapped out of our trance when a dazzling blast occured.
The loud explosion and light blow me, Jen, and Dru off our feet. "Whoa…Cool." I said getting back up. I looked towards Stuart to see that the boa was a BBQ snake. "Neat." I said picking up the charred snake.
"You, you." I looked behind me to see who was talking to me.
"Yikes!" I yelped, taking back by Stu's appearance. "What'd ya do?" His hair was sticking straight up and in his hands were brightly, colored balls of energy, I think.
"You, you, idiot!" He spat out, glaring at me. "I could have died and you stood there like a stupid ape!" The balls of energy flared in his hands as he continued. "What is wrong with you people? I could have died! I am not a strong beast like you nor can I do much magic like Mo." I backed away slowly.
"Ummm….Dude, look. I meant no harm." I said inching away from the mad blonde. My own blonde hair was getting into my eyes.
"You didn't mean no harm." He said mocking me. "Well, try this." He threw a ball of energy at me. My eyes widened as I saw the ball of energy coming straight at my face. I gulped and ducked, throwing my arms over my head. I expected the ball to hit my head and arms but it didn't. I looked up and saw a bright figure standing to the right of me. Stu glared at the figure.
'This is getting a little freaky on my opinion…Stu throws energy balls, Jenny can heal people, now who's next in the line of getting new, strange stuff…' I thought as I straightened my body. "Ouch!" I yelled. A throbbing pain went though out all my head. "Stupid tree." I growled out, glaring at the tree branch that I had hit my head on.
"Stuart…" The glowing on the figure died down. The figure was Mo! (no really, Larry…who could have guessed…) Stuart glared at her. Another energy ball sprang instantly into his hand.
"Don't you start with me. Don't you even dare." Hatred enlaced his face as he glared at her. Mo's eyes were sad but determined to stop anything that happened.
"Stuart, please listen to me." Mo started but was cut short when Stuart unleashed an energy ball on her. She sidestepped it and looked sadly on to her friend. "Stu…I'm sorry about school and stuff…I never meant to hurt you…" Her voiced trailed off.
"Yeah, you say that now but do you really mean it? What if tomorrow you forget that and you start acting like a cheerleader (no offense to no one but I really dislike cheerleaders…I've had bad experiences with a few. **grumbles** Evil witches…) again?" He retorted back at her. I watched from the sidelines, wondering what was going on between them.
Mo looked at the ground and said, "I know…I know I've made a few mistakes regarding my friends in the last few years at school and…I really regret the choices I made. I lost my true friends and gained one's that only care about material stuff that you own…" Stuart's energy balls died away.
"You should have never gotten involved with that crowd, you know. It wasn't a wish decision." He said, crossing his arms over his chest and looking like a mother giving her daughter a lecture. Dan had finally arrived and was looking at Stu and Mo curiously. The only person not at this lovely picnic was Aly. She was probably dreaming about her Anime men again.
"Yes, I know…" Mo said staring at her boots. Danny stepping in between them and demanded.
"What is wrong with you two, now?" Stuart looked at him and walked away. Mo just stared at the ground with her hands behind her back. He shook his head. Mo stared at the ground for a while longer then left. Jen and Dru disappeared also. "What do you want?" Growled Danny.
"Nothing, dude. Chill out." I said. I turned around and walked back to my mat, leaving Danny staring at nothing. I sighed and lay back down. The stars were so beautiful on clear nights. The logical part my mind kept whispering that the stars were only balls of gas in an ever expanding universe. Science always takes the beauty out of things that are wonderful. My eyes grew heavy as I watched a shooting star streak across the sky. In moments I was dead asleep, dreaming about the wonders of God's creation.
~*~*~
"LARRY!" Yelled a high pitched voice in my ear.
"EEH!!" I yelped jumping up from where I had laid. I looked at Aly. She had an annoyed look on her face. "Ummm, Good morning."
"Get the tents. We're moving out." She growled out at me. I stood for a moment before walking toward where the tents were.
"Great…I get to drag the tents back to the camp…" I groaned. I picked up two tents and strapped them onto my back then picked up the large one.
"Larry!" Yelled Mo, waving her hands in the air. "Come on, dude! Let's go!" I shifted the wait some on my back and headed towards the bouncy girl. She probably ate our sugar for breakfast this morning again.
Upon reaching them, I said, "All right. I'm here. Let's get going."
"Ya k!" Said Mo bouncing up with a blue scroll in her hand.
Stuart seized the scroll away from her. "Uhh, no offense, Mo, you'll just screw this up." Mo pouted and kicked Stuart. "Ouch! You little witch!" Mo grinned mischievously and stuck her tongue out at him. He glared at her and Mo glared back at him but still had a small smile on her face.
Danny stepped in between of them, "Okay you two. Be nice little kids and hurry up." He said to them. I stood there all the while with the heavy tents on my back.
"Come on! Hurry up! My back is gonna break you guys." I said, grunting under the load that I bore.
"Ya K." Mo backed off and away from Stuart. Stuart muttered something incoherent and started chanting to open the Town Portal. In a moment, the portal opened, we saw Akara standing at her tent and Kashya cleaning her bow. I walked though first grunting under the weight of the load on my aching back.
In the portal I went. I thought the portals were the coolest things in this freaky world. With all the colors and stuff. I looked around the portal and actually saw other places. Marshes, deserts, mountains, all sorts of stuff.
"Whoa…Cool." I mumbled watching everything flying around me. Then it all came to a stop and I was out of the portal, in the camp. I sighed and walked over to the camp fire and dumped the stuff there. I stretched my arms and back while the others came. Dan was after me, then Mo, Aly, and Jen, then Dru and Stuart came in last. I looked up at the sky. It was partly cloudy and warm out. I smiled and settled down on the ground, relaxing. I leaned against the tents and gazed at the clouds. Soon Mo joined me and sat down next to me. We sat in silence watching the clouds while the others gave the scroll to Akara. 'It's a wonderful day to be alive.'
~*~*~
Interesting, eh? Well, I have none of my usual questions that need to be answered, except for two. Will they ever get out of the Diablo Two world at this Pace? And, Will Mo choose the Mighty Larry or the Courageous Danny? Only time will tell in this long tale of action, love, and hate.
~*~*~
Note: This was kinda a boring chapter…But I needed to get to the camp and deliver the scroll. Next stop, Cain and Tristram. Next chapter told by, the Famous Aly Miko of Horrible Aim! AKA my best friend and The Famous Reno No Miko of FF.net! I DEMAND THAT YOU READ HER STORIES AND REVIEW THEM! OR ELSE I'LL NEVER UPDATE THIS STORY EVER AGAIN!!!!
