G'Day Casters, I'm back in DCP with chapter 23! I hope you enjoy it! Wow, I wrote that and then left the chapter as [In Progress] for a few days. Why even make this file? Idk. Anyway, let's see what happens here.
Enjoy!
Chapter 23: The Pride
Ellie's POV:
It was two days after our encounter with the three 'Dragonborns' and I was lying in a bed inside a house we had taken refuge in. I heard a clicker outside and grabbed my rifle. Joel was on the couch downstairs, probably sleeping. I snuck outside and found the clicker. I lined up the shot and pulled the trigger. "Not today bitch." I said. I went back inside. "Another infected?" Asked Joel who had obviously heard the gunshot. "Yeah, but only one." I said. "Good, we don't need a group of those damn things surrounding us." I nodded. I was about to go back upstairs when I heard a sound. I stopped and listened closely. There it was again, someone or something failing at sneaking through some dead leaves. I looked to Joel who had his pistol. I followed him outside. The walking stopped. "You know I can smell you, right?" Said a familiar voice. I looked around the corner and saw the leader of the group of Dragonborns, but this time he was joined by four new people. "What are you doing back?" Asked Joel. "Sorry, we didn't have time to talk on the last visit. You know, verge of war, impending doom, shit like that." Said Chris casually. "So you came back with more of you." I said. "We're Minecast Productions. You already know me, Chris. This is Star, Rebecca, Sarah, and Tey. We're the original group that started exploring these new realms. Well, worlds, but I'm just used to calling them realms." Said Chris. I saw something in Joel's eyes for a second ad figured it was just the fact that his daughter was named Sarah. "I have no idea what the hell you're talkin' about but why should we trust you? Last time you attacked us." Said Joel. "Right, yeah, sorry about that. We just wanted to disarm you and go. Didn't mean any harm." Said Chris, trying to dodge looks from the group. He turned back to them. "What? They were going to fucking shoot us what the bloody hell were we supposed to do?" He asked them. He turned back to us. "Okay, now do you mind tellin' us what the hell the different 'worlds' are?" Asked Joel. "Sure. But leave your guns here. You won't need them and I don't trust you with them with what we will be showing you." Said Chris. "Fine." I said. "Alright, hop on." Said Sarah, being the first one of the rest of the group to talk. She transformed. Chris transformed and roared. "What the fuck? Why would you do that you stupid idiot!" I said. I could hear the infected coming. But then I felt extreme pain. So much pain that I lost my balance and fell.
Joel's POV:
"ELLIE! What the fuck did you do to her?!" I yelled at Chris. "I just awoke a part inside her that was sleeping. She'll be right mate." He said. I watched her as she started to transform into what looked like the same dragon that Sarah was. "Ugh, what the fuck was that?" She asked. "You are a Dragonborn Ellie. You can transform into a green Monstrous Nightmare apparently." Said Rebecca. "Whoa this is fucking awesome!" She said as she spread her wings. The infected came around the corner. "Shit, get on Joel!" Said Ellie. I jumped on, throwing my gun next to Ellie's next to the house. We took off and followed Chris and Sarah. We went through a cave that was hidden under some vines. We came out on the side of a mountain. "Block the cave, we don't want the zombies to get here." Said Star. Sarah put a large rock at the entrance. "Alright, now for you two to do the tour of the realms." Said Chris.
After a long day of looking around the worlds, we went to Terabithia and landed at the castle. "So, you don't have to worry about infected in any of these worlds?" Asked Ellie. "As long as we keep your cave secured, yeah." Said Chris. "Great, so we can have a rest from killing infected." I said, kicking back on a soft couch. The others laughed. "Exactly. Please don't kill anyone though, you'd be arrested if you did." We agreed and got shown to a luxurious room. "You can stay here if you don't want to go back and worry about the zombles." Said Queen Leslie. Zombles, there it is again. Chris had called the infected that a few times, he had said it was a funny name a lot of people used when playing zombie games. It also had other meanings but that was the main one he used it for. Along with the word Zambies. "Sure. It's been so long since I've had a proper bed to sleep in." I said. "Well, you two get some rest. You deserve it." She said. They left so now it was just me and Ellie. "I've never seen something this comfortable." Said Ellie, sitting on the couch. I sat down next to her and turned on the large flat screen TV. We spent that night in pure peace, knowing we didn't have to worry about infected.
Minecast Chris's POV:
I was flying around, making sure everything was alright in the early morning, when I noticed another cave. "And here we go again. Give us a bloody break!" I said to myself, laughing. I decided to take Jess, Leslie, and Jaina S. with me to explore. "I wonder where this one goes." Wondered Leslie. "That's what we're here to find out." I said. We went through the cave. We were about to get out when we heard elephants. I told the others to stay back a little while I checked it out. I peeked out of the cave and was surprised. "Where are we?" Asked Jaina. "It might be easier to recognize with a song." I said, looking back at them. They seemed confused. "Nants ingonyama bagithi baba. Sithi uhm ingonyama. Ingonyama. Nants ingonyama bagithi baba. Sithi uhhmm ingonyama. Ingonyama. Siyo nqoba. Ingonyama." It was difficult because the lyrics were Zulu but I managed to sing it. "The Lion King?" Asked Jess. "Yep." I said. They came up. "Whoa." Said Jaina. It was early morning, the sun was just rising into the red sky, slowly revealing Pride Rock from the shadows. "I think the dragons should go first." Said Jess. "Scared you'll get eaten by Simba or something?" I teased. "Shut up." Said Jess. We laughed. "But you're right, we can get away quicker, we can defend ourselves, and we can understand animals. Jaina, you ready to go?" I asked. "Let's do this." She said, transforming into a Fire Fury. I transformed into a Night Fury and we flew out of the cave, leaving the King and Queen of Terabithia to hide in the cave until we got back. Although we did startle the elephants that were behind us. "That could have gone better." I said as we flew towards the massive structure that was Pride Rock. "Hold on, I just realized, the sunrise here looks kinda like the Aboriginal flag. The red sky is the bottom half of the flag, the black clouds are the top half, and the sun is the yellow circle in the middle, which I think is supposed to be a sun anyway." I said. "Huh, I've only seen the Aboriginal flag once but you're right, it does look like that. I wonder if that's intentional on the flag?" Wondered Jaina. "The black part is supposed to represent the Aboriginal people of Australia, and the red is supposed to represent the red earth." I said. "Ah okay." Said Jaina. We landed on Pride Rock. A lion instantly came out of the cave in the rock. He had golden fur, and a bright red mane. Simba? "What are you?" He asked angrily, dropping to a defensive stance. Yep, that's Simba. "Well, we're dragons." I said, not giving away the transformation part yet. "What are you doing here?" He asked again. I noticed Nala and two other lions come out. Hang on, what? Wow, obviously we are in the time period of after The Lion King 2. I'm pretty sure that's Kiara and Kovu. "Ugh, this will be interesting to explain to lions." I said quietly. "I heard that." Said Simba. "Even I heard that." Said Kiara, who was the furthest behind Simba. "Alright then, lions have hearing just as good as dragons… Good to know. Okay, so, this will sound insane, but we are from different worlds." I said. "So you're… Gods?" Asked Simba. "To you guys, we might seem like that. But no, we are certainly not Gods. Jaina is a Jedi Master and I'm a gamer turned leader of one of the galaxy's most powerful forces. We do not want to hurt any of you. We would prefer to be allies, if possible." I said. Simba seemed to calm down, but was still cautious. "Oh, and when I said we were dragons, I meant Dragonborn. We're actually humans that can transform into dragons." I said. "Humans?" Asked Simba. "Just promise you won't eat us when we transform." I said. "I won't eat you, don't worry." He said. We transformed. The lions backed up a bit. "This is our real form." Said Jaina. "Yet another creature that we have not seen before. You have some weird animals on your planet." Said Nala. "Well, Jaina usually travels around the galaxy so she sees a lot of species. And dragons are not native to my planet. Any more anyway. They might have existed once. But now they are back on Sol 3 because of us discovering their native planet." I said, using one of Earth's scientific names. Since this was probably also called Earth. But then again, I didn't even know if the animals had named this planet at all. Better safe than sorry. "I guess I'll go back to get Les and Jess?" Asked Jaina. "Sure, it seems to be safe here." I said. "More of you?" Asked Kovu. "Well, there is an entire network of us, but there was four of us that decided to explore here. But the other two aren't Dragonborn so we left them in the cave until it was safe." I said. "Makes sense." He said.
I explained some more stuff while we were waiting for Jaina to come back. She came back pretty quickly with Leslie and Jess on her back. "This is King Jess and Queen Leslie of Terabithia. Guys, this is King Simba, Queen Nala, Princess Kiara, and, um I guess its Prince Kovu now?" I looked to Kovu. He nodded. "Yep. They're the rulers of the Pridelands as you would probably know." I said. The lions actually bowed to Jess and Leslie. "Well, not used to that formality. We might be the king and queen but of a kingdom that used to be imaginary. And even now that it's real, we are still just school kids." Said Jess. "I was going to say, how are you rulers, you're just kids!" Laughed Kiara. "10 years old to be precise." Said Leslie, also laughing. "Well, you better be glad Jess isn't Star. He wouldn't like admitting being a kid. He's said he's 15 multiple times when he was 13. But whatever." I laughed. "Well, do you guys want to see the connected worlds?" I asked the lions. "Sure." Said Simba. I thought of something. "Hang on a second, how the hell can you understand them?" I asked Leslie and Jess. "Apparently they are speaking proper English." Said Jess. "Talking animals. Well that makes stuff easier." Said Jaina. "Yep." Simba seemed to see someone he recognized and ran past us. I looked behind me and saw a lion cub with dark grey fur on his back, while his paws and stomach were light grey. I saw the chain around his neck and recognized him immediately. "Sora! Haven't seen you in so long! How have you been?" Asked Simba. "I've been great Simba! I managed to find Kairi and Riku, in fact, they're right here." Said Sora. Kairi and Riku walked up behind Sora. They were still in human form. "Good to see that story ends well." I said. (A/N I haven't gotten to the end of KHII so I don't know whether it does end happily like that, but if it doesn't then consider this an AU of Kingdom Hearts.) "Who are you?" Asked Sora. "And how do you know Sora?" Asked Simba. "Same way we know about you four. Sora and his friends are in a game series called Kingdom Hearts." I said. "Please don't remind me of Kingdom Hearts. I just want to live normally now." Said Sora. "Sorry, that's the name of the game. I didn't choose it." I said. We explained everything to them.
"So who wants to see the other worlds now?" Asked Jaina. "Yeah sure, let's go!" Said Kiara. Simba didn't look so enthusiastic. Kiara saw this. "Please daddy?" She asked. "Okay then, let's go." He said. "Thanks daddy." She said.
Kiara's POV:
We followed the Dragonborn to a cave, Kairi and Riku were riding on my dad's back. Hang on, Kiara and Kairi, pretty much the same spelling, just opposite. I thought. I laughed to myself. "And what would be so funny?" Asked Kairi. "Just thinking about how similar our names are." I said. Kairi laughed too. "That's true, they're pretty much the opposite of each other." Said Chris. We arrived at the cave and went through. We felt a shock and came out on the side of a mountain. "Here we are, the central realm. More specifically, the side of Mount Coonowrin." Said Chris. "Whoa, this looks so different to the Pridelands!" I said. "Yes, it is. The Pridelands are in the Savannah, while we are in Glasshouse Mountains, pretty much in the middle of the bush. It's a nice place to live, honestly." I looked around. "It does look pretty nice." Said mum. "I'll call up some more Dragonborns, it'll be easier to show you around on dragonback." Said Chris. Leslie and Jess went home while four more Dragonborns came. Chris introduced them as Sarah, Jaina Rhile, Heather, and [Y/N]. They showed us around the worlds, and then we came back to the central world to explore that.
We landed outside a strange thing that Chris said was a house. Doesn't look like a house to me. A house for us is a cave. We went in and Chris went on to show us what 'technology' was. "Whoa, is it magic?" Asked dad as he was showing us his iPhone. "lol No, technology is not magic, it's science. Maths. Electricity. Stuff like that." He explained. "I'm just going to call it magic." I said. Chris laughed. "Call it what you want, but tech is not magic. If it were magic it probably wouldn't fuck up all the time." He said. "Well, that was colourful." Said Kovu, referring to Chris swearing. "Welcome to the 21st century." Was all he said.
After Chris showed us a phone, a computer, a TV, a PlayStation 3, a Wii, a 3DS, and much more, it was late. We ran back home, scaring some of the locals. At one point a group called the 'police' showed up to try and stop us. We just ran to the mountain and went through the cave. The police followed until they saw Pride Rock. They probably recognized it the same way Chris had. This was going to be interesting.
I hope you enjoyed that chapter! Wanted to put LOZ in but decided not to. I promise to do it soon though! Oh shit, I just remembered there was another one I wanted to add too. Oh well, next chapter. Hopefully.
