X – 2.2
AN: Hey guys, I've FINALLY decided on the plot that I'm going to do for this story. It's going to be wrapped up within the next five or six chapters, so that's the good news. Also, the other good news is that I'm kicking myself up in the ass to complete the three stories I've started, and I'm soon to start the fourth story after finishing Cave Story. Damn my friend for saying that I should play the game, I don't even do classwork now :3
Anyway, enjoy the short but nevertheless-I-hope enjoyable Chapter X-2.2 (or 2.5, if you're more mathematically minded).

"Ah, do you remember that time where you got punched by that monster Karis?" Matthew teased. Karis furiously blushed.
"N-n-no, your memory must be going poor. I was never knocked out by a monster!" Karis screamed.
Matthew grinned at her… in a really, really sly way, and leaned closer.
"When did I ever say you were knocked out, Karis?" He whispered in her ear.
Karis cringed. Hook, line and sinker, she thought.
###
"No! Leave that person alone!" Matthew roared. He reached to draw his sword… except, as outlined in the last chapter, he didn't have his sword on him.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going, Matthew reminded himself. This monster was fast and had quite acute senses…
Wait, if I manage to distract it by using my psyenergy… yes! I got a plan!
Matthew began to cast Growth near the monster, to distract it for one moment. Alright, just according to keikaku… the monster roared and turned around instantly to destroy the intruder within its zone, leading towards the second part of Matthew's simple plan.
Psyenergy gathered around Matthew as he began to focus the energy into a spell. As soon as the image was formed, he unleashed the spell onto the monster. A perfect Quake strike, he thought to himself as the Quake struck the monster square on.
Doing nothing.
Oh shit was Matthew's last thoughts before getting knocked unconscious.
###
No, I can't lose… Karis… Karis… KARIS!
###
It had been a good day for Mr. Monster. Two delicious meals that appeared really close to his spawning spot. Now he had one of the most toughest decisions in life that he would ever have to make. Which one to eat first?
He decided to eat the female first. He saw the male use a weird power that probably made him harder to chew up.
###
Matthew struggled awake to find the monster pulling Karis's clothes off and preparing to… eat her?
Come on! If I can't get up, then Karis… Karis is going to die! Get up!
Nothing would come… no psyenergy, no extraordinary power that would help him rescue Karis.
Your love is going to die.
Your love is going to die, and you can't do anything about it.
Your love is going to die.
And. You. Can't. Do. ANYTHING. ABOUT. IT.
###
"So what happened then?" Karis pleaded Matthew to tell her.
"Well… pretty much, I told myself to harden up, and to take your sword and slaughter the monster… and that's what I proceeded to do," Matthew explained.
Karis cuddled closer towards Matthew. "You know, I bet you if it was Tyrell, you couldn't have moved..."
###
Tyrell sneezed. "I think someone's talking about me, it's still summer," he muttered.
###
As Karis fell asleep and Matthew stayed awake, he smiled. He told a little white lie there, but…
I never tell lies, unless I believe that lie is good for that person.
The truth was that he would never know what truly happened. What enabled him to cast the most powerful psyenergy to defeat the monster like that…
He stopped. He suddenly knew what it was. He facepalmed himself and laughed silently.
Of course.
Love.

Hope you guys enjoyed the second part of this chapter. Once again, R & R please!
Also, regarding the lies… that's actually my personal motto ^^ I will never tell lies at a serious question unless I believe that lie is good for that person. In other words, if I think you're going to get hurt by the answer, I will not tell you the truth. It's not right, nor is it wrong, but…
Enough life lessons from a seventeen year old. Enjoy the rest of your day/night :3
