Chapter five: Who needs loyalty!

Matt's P.O.V.

I am running through the maze really wishing I had my DS or something! I look around myself then I turn a corner only for a game controller to float right on past me. "That must be my element!" I chase after it until I turn a final corner finding myself in a small maze clearing with Discord laying on a hammock making me skid to a stop as my element is nowhere to be seen.

"Oh this is quite relaxing." He says putting on some sunglasses.

I raise my fists getting ready to fight. "Come on Discord! I'll fight you!"

Discord sits up looking at me with his hands in a position as if to say 'chill' as he speaks. "Hey. I came to deliver a message."

"I got a message for you! It's called my fist!" I can see how cool this will be just like in my games!

He removes his sunglasses looking serious making me lower my fists in curiosity. "Listen closely as this is important." He flies over to me and puts a hand on my shoulder slightly curled around me from behind. "A weighty choice is yours to make. The right decision or a big mistake. If the wrong one is what you choose the foundation will crumble without you." He moves away to turn to face me still flying. He watches my face as he snaps his fingers then a DS appears with the screen showing a black and white swirling pattern that seems to draw me in.

"Whammy's house…. Crumble without me….." I say as if in a trance as I see it falling apart and the ones that are my friends and that I care for from there trying to escape even though with no Whammy's house they have no home. "NO!" I call out in horror.

The image vanishes as does the DS.

Discord looks into my eyes. "You can take them and leave the game." He says looking at me with hypnotizing eyes. "Or you can continue endlessly wandering this maze."

My world swirls like how the eyes I am looking at do. I have to go. I have to save Whammy's house!

As my world returns to normal Discord moves to the side.

The hammock is gone showing the way out of the maze.

I dash for it.

Forget my friends Whammy's house needs me more!
