Serpent Chain Saga, Swamp Island Arc, Episode 7: Jaws of Gatormouth

(Runner's POV)

I walked along the shore with Blader. "So" Blader said. "Were do you think the shore is."

"I don't know" I replied. "More importantly, were are Froggy and Rock-fist."

"Well if this will take awhile, lets collect some food" Blader said.

Blader walked toward the woods to collect berries. While I sat next to the water and fished, dipping my feet into the water waiting for fish. After a while I felt a bumpy scaly sensation on my feet.

I quickly jumped out of the water and a huge alligator rose up to the surface. The alligator had a more strange somewhat anthropomorphic stance. I kicked it in the face nose and it reeled back slightly. "Who are you" I yelled then realized I was talking to an alligator.

"I am Gatormouth" Gatormouth yelled.

Gatormouth lunged at me and I back flipped back to avoid him. He swiped at me with his claws which I dodged, but got hit by his tail which knocked me to the ground. "Help!" I called out, Then climbed up a tree.

(Blader's POV)

"Help!" I herd a voice that seemed like Runner's.

I put down my berries and ran toward the river. I found Runner up on a tree "What's wrong" I asked her.

"There a huge alligator called Gatormouth trying to kill me you retard" She replied.

Gatormouth lunged at me, and I lunged out of the way. I made a knife and jabbed it into his tail. Gatormouth turned around and roared at me.

I made a sword to block the his swipe at me, but he hit me with his other claw and tackled me to the ground.

Gatormouth opened his jaws hide open in attempt to bit me, but suddenly a foot hit his face and he recoiled a little. I immediately got up and ran away with Runner following me. I ran as far as I could until I feel down from exhaustion. "Do you think he's gone" I gasped.

"I think so" Runner replied, breathing slightly heavily.

(Rock-fist's POV)

I was walking through the forest for awhile till I ran into a boy. He was in his late teens and was quite tall. He had a bow and arrow strapped to his back. The bow was sharpened to act as a double edged sword. "What your name" I asked him.

"My name is Archer, yes my name inspired me to be an archer." He said.

"My name is Alex but I go by Rock-fist" I replied.

"I don't have a nick name" Archer said.

"That's OK, you're name describes you well." I said.

Suddenly I just thought of something, why did I not see that Canoe the Sergeant took us in. Then I realized, It must have been sunk, and Archer could get it back.

"Hey Archer, do you think we could go back upriver." I asked.

"Alright" He replied.

(Froggy's POV)

I was walking along the river till I saw a something rise up. It was a huge Alligator. I punched the Alligator in the snout but it was not hurt. I ran away from it and it chased after me.

(Rock-fist's POV)

Archer and I ran along the river toward the fortress, we ran past Froggy and a huge alligator. We kept running by until we reached the fortress. Then it hit me, we forget about Froggy. "Archer, what about Froggy, that guy being chased."

"Don't worry about it" He said.

He then pulled out his bow and shot an arrow, and I heard a growl in pain. The huge gator turned and came toward us.

I dipped my hands in the water while Archer lunged at the alliggator. He shot an arrow at the alligator which hurt it but not that much. Archer swung his bow at alligator hitting it in the mouth. The alligator swung His tail at Archer but he dodged. Archer tried a second blow but Gatormouth grabbed him in his claws and threw him into the water. By that time I grabbed a rock and made rock gloves "I can take you on." I said.

I punched the alligator in the face and then grabbed its claws and squeezed them hard. I punched the alligator again, but it smacked me in the face then hit me with his tail.

He leaped into the air to crush me but I uppercutted the bottom of its belly. Before the thing could hit me with its tail. A rope was tied around the alligator's tail, and Archer appeared from the water. "I tied the canoe to the gator". He said.

(Blader's POV)

Me and Runner ran toward the river to find Gatormouth swinging a boat on its tail at Rock-Fist. "Not this guy again." Runner complained.

"We got the strength in numbers". I pointed out.

I dodged the boat and cut the rope connecting the boat to Gatormouth. Runner kicked Gatormouth in in jaw angering it. He wound up his tail but Rock-fist grabbed it. Some archer guy slashed at Gatormouth tail making him growl in pain. Gatormouth growled angrily and lunged toward me and Runner. Runner side flipped away from it, but he ran strait into me. I grabbed onto Gatormouth face with claws, then kneed him in the underbelly, he lurched up to body slam me, but Runner kicked him toppling him to the ground. Gatormouth got back up and swung his tail and hit Runner and I. Suddenly Froggy appeared,

(Froggy's POV)

Suddenly I turned around, Rock-fist and that archer guy just saved my life. I ran back to find the alligator fighting Blader, Rock-fist, Runner, and the archer guy. It turned to me and laughed. "You know I'm stronger".

I grappled up about 10 feet up the tree. "But you know I'm faster" I replied.

When he leaped at me, I grappled all the way up the tree. The archer guy shoot the alligator in the belly. It growled in pain and crawled toward the water. "You may have beet me for now, but this is not over, I'll be back someday." It said before jumping in the water.

"Who was that guy" I asked.

"That was Gatormouth" Blader replied.

"And who is that archer guy" I asked.

"My name is Archer" He replied.

"I would have never guessed it" I replied.

(Blader's POV)

"Let's fix the boat now" I told the group.

I made a saw and cut a piece of wood of the canoe. I put it over the board, then made nails. Rock-fist used her rock hand to hammer them in and patch the crack. "Let's set sail." I told my group.

We sailed down the river toward the bay, when we got there I found Captain Viper ship. We all boarded the ship.
