Chapter 4: The Test of Island Courage
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Mike stepped in and looked around, all he saw was some water and grass. "Well, it isn't as bad as I thought it would be." Mike continued on to the next room via passageway. Once he went through, a big rock door came down and closed the passageway so tightly, that even an ant couldn't get through. "Well, I guess there's no turning back now." Mike said to himself as he looked around and saw 3 little pink slugs crawling around. "Well, I won't even bother killing them." Mike walked by one of them and it lunged at him, biting him in the leg. "Ow! You sorry little" Mike didn't finish the sentence, as he was pulling out his yo-yo and blasting the slug. It hit it and the slug died in a small explosion. "Damn pests" Mike snapped as he walked to the next room. As with the last, a door closed the passageway. This was a long room with blue rats walking around. "Well, little itsy-bitsy rats." Mike said as he struck one with his yo-yo. The rat squeeked and then bit Mike in the same spot as the slug, but the rat took a small chunk out of his leg. "OW! What is it with that spot!" OW!" Mike yelled at the top of his lungs. "You stupid little rat! I'll kill you and all your kind!" Mike swore as he smacked the hissing rat in the head and decapitated it right then and there. Then he looked at all the other rats with such an evil glare, that they all squeaked then ran. Mike began chasing them back and forth across the room saying" Come here, little rats! I just wanna take your head! Come on!" Mike eventually caught one and hit it so hard with the yo-yo, that it was headless in one strike. Mike chased these rats for at least five minutes, once four more were dead, he only had one left. "Come here!" Mike said softly, grinning evilly. "Squeak!" the rat said, and shot between Mike's legs. Mike, however, was quicker, and struck the rat in the back as it zipped by. "Got ya!" Mike yelled, but soon stopped grinning when he saw the rat was alive and hissing. "Come on!" Mike yelled at it. The rat lunged and as Mike dodged, it's teeth scratched Mike's face. "Damn! That was painful!" Mike yelled as it prepared to lunge again. This happened about 4 times, with Mike being unable to get a clean shot. Finally, the rat lunged again, but Mike was ready and completely irritated. He grabbed a head of another rat and shot it at the lunging rat. It hit it with such force, he died instantly. Then Mike chopped it's head off. "There! Stupid pest!" Mike said as he walked across the room, happy with his accomplishment. When he approached the northern part of the room, he noticed the whole part was a hole, filled with water. It had green tiles over the water all across the water. "Well, time to hop!" mike began to hop slowly across each of the 16 tiles that stood in his way. He finally got to the end where there was a rock door, but it was unopened. "Shit! How do I get through?" Mike yelled as he slammed his foot down on the tile. He looked around and noticed a tile he didn't jump on. "Hmm" Mike jumped on the tile and all of a sudden, the one he was just on rose to about twice it's height and turned red. "wowcool" Mike said as he made one long jump to the tile and pushed the tile back down. The door opened with a 'swish'. "Well, I'll have to keep that in mind" Mike said to himself as he walked through. He continued through a few more rooms, and even found this secret room with a small glass bottle with red juice in it. Mike drank it, and was healed and pepped up to move on. He even found this fireball shooter, but only 50 ammo with it. "Well, this should do some damage. As long as I don't swallow it." Mike smiled at the funny thought and walked into a small room with some bats and 2 snakes. "Well, let's try this shooter" Mike grabbed it and a pellet. He put it in the shooter and it immediately ignited. He took aim at the snake, who would take 2 strikes from his yo-yo, and shot. It hit him and he died. "Wow! Powerful!" Mike yelled as he shot 4 more to kill the other 4 enemies. The stone door to the north opened and Mike walked in, not knowing that all hell would break loose on him with this beast in the next room. Mike entered the room with the C-Serpent's mate(sense Mike killed the C-Serpent a year ago). "Woah! Big snake!" Mike yelled as he grabbed his shooter and shot 3 shots at him, but to no avail. "Damn! Is he immortal!" Mike thought as he opened his mouth and shot 2 huge fire balls at Mike. The hit and he was ignited. "SHOOT! SHIT! SHOOT! HOT! WARM! HOT!" Mike yelled as he splashed a bit of water on himself. "Damn you!" Mike snapped as he grabbed his shooter and aimed. "Where can I hit him to kill him?" Mike pondered. "The serpent opened his mouth again and it hit Mike. "Inside his mouth!" Mike dinged. Mike shot a few shots into the serpents mouth, then jumped out of the way of the fireballs that it shot. Mike repeated this process until the serpent glowed red, then blew up. "Yes! And only burned to a crisp on the outsides." Mike chuckled as he jumped on the platform the serpent was on and walked up to a small room with one tile. He jumped on it, jumped on the activated red switch and walked through the open passageway it created. Then he climbed the stairs and ran out of the tunnel. When the light hit his face, he jumped for joy. He'd done it! He'd passed "The Test of Island Courage"again.
