Encounter

Rudy’s Point of View

[link]

I woke up and looked around the room at the windows. Water and fish could be seen swimming everywhere I glanced. I yawned, cracked my neck, and then stretched. I got up out of my bed and put on my adventuring clothes…and walked out.
I saw Matt and the others in the Throne Room, sitting at the table and eating luxury food that was sat out on the table. The only two people that were missing…were Grady and Lexi.
“Hey,” I called to them.
“Good morning Rudy!” Heather called.
“How did you sleep last night big guy?” Cameron asked. I smiled.
“Not bad at all actually,” I answered, “Those waterbeds are so comfortable I tell ya.” Cirby nodded.
“I almost felt that I couldn’t get up after I sat in it,” he said as he put an egg in his mouth.
“Have you guys seen Grady?” I asked.
“Not at all,” Heather answered, “I thought he was asleep.” I just remembered as I walked through the hallway into his room. I found Lexi dead asleep…and naked…on top of Grady, who was asleep as well. I didn’t even want to know what went on last night, so I just ignored them and walked out.
“…Rudy?” Grady called. I turned to him and shook my head.
“You two still going on?” I asked, “Geeze you’re like a born sex machine.” Grady laughed.
“Not the case lad,” he said, “But…if you want us to keep going…”
“NO!” I yelled. Suddenly, Lexi was stirring on him. She opened her eyes and looked at him.
“…Grady,” she asked, “…You ok?”
“I’m fine baby,” he answered. She smiled and kissed him.
“I love you,” I heard her say.
“I love you too Lexi,” he replied. Suddenly, Grady put her down in her bed. The room smelled…funny.
“Let me know when you get dressed,” I said in a funny tone, “This room smells a bit…weird.” Lexi closed her eyes as I closed the door. I shook my head at the thought of what happened between them last night…but I smiled about their love. They loved each other so much it wasn’t even funny…but…what if Grady wanted to stay here forever? What if we were going to lose him?
“Rudy!” Matt called. I ran into the throne room.
“Yeah?” I questioned.
“We need to go see Egeria for the next place we need to go to kill Mantus,” he said, “Sarah said so.” She appeared sitting on the table.
“Yep,” she said, “That’s one way to find out if we should kill him now or later.” I nodded as Grady walked outside to the throne room. Lexi was with him…and they were holding hands and kissing for a few seconds. Heather was confused.
“Wait,” she said, “What happened again?” Matt immediately turned to her.
“NOTHING AT ALL!” he yelled, “DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT!” She shrugged as Grady looked at us.

“I have something I want to say,” Grady announced. I looked at him suddenly. My heart was racing.
“…Yeah?” I questioned.
“What is it?” Cameron asked. Grady smiled.
“…Lexi and I…,” he started, “…We’re getting married…and I will be Lake Arozimaka’s Future King.” I looked away.
“You’re staying here with her…aren’t you?” I asked. He smiled.
“Of course,” he answered. I had a tear in my eye.
“Then…you’re leaving us?” I asked.
“Well if I’m going to be king…then yes,” he answered. I stood up and grew angry.
“SO THAT’S IT?!” I yelled, “AFTER ALL THIS TIME WE’VE TAKEN CARE OF YOU?! YOU’RE JUST GONNA LEAVE US JUST LIKE THAT?!” Grady frowned as Heather grew frightened and hid behind Matt.
“…Is there something wrong?” he asked. Lexi frowned.
“WHAT THE HELL GRADY!” I yelled, “YES THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG! YOU’RE JUST GOING TO STAY HERE AFTER WE LEAVE?! WOW YOU’RE SUCH A GREAT FRIEND!” Grady held his hand up.
“Wait a second,” he said, “I’m not staying here yet.” Suddenly…I stopped…and then turned around.
“What?” I questioned, “You’re not going to stay with Lexi?” He laughed.

[link]

“You kidding?” he asked, “I’ve got a world to save! There’s no way I’m butting out of the battle until it’s over!”
“So you’ll still be traveling with us?!” Cameron asked.
“I’m not through yet!” Grady said cheerfully. I had another tear in my eye.
“…Letting you leave us…,” I said, “Was my biggest fear. We all love you Grady as if you were our brother…and…I didn’t want you to leave yet.” Grady laughed.
“Chill mate!” he yelled, “I’m not going to leave until this world is saved, which by the way it almost is. We have to leave to talk to Egeria’s Spirit right?” Sarah nodded. “Then our world will be saved!” I nodded as he rejoined the group. We all turned to Lexi and smiled.
“I’m very grateful that all of you have come this far just to help me and this lake,” she said, “And most of all…” she looked at Grady. “I’m glad you all reunited me and my future husband,” she finished, “…I was beginning to get worried about him.” Grady smiled.
“Once this world is saved,” he said, “I’ll come back for you…and become King of Lake Arozimaka.” Lexi smiled.
“I love you Grady,” she said.
“I love you too Lexi,” he told her. She pointed at the waterfall.
“You should get going,” she said, “Egeria awaits you all…” I nodded as I turned to the waterfall. Using the power of light received by Lexi, we all turned into Mermaids again and swam out of the throne area.
“WE’LL COME VISIT AGAIN!” Heather screamed. Lexi smiled.
“I hope you all do…” she said. Suddenly, we were in the air…

[link]

“WOOOOHOOOO!” Cameron yelled. We were in the raging rapids again, having a blast. Now we were all racing to see who could get to the mouth of the river. Cirby sped ahead of us and smiled.
“See you all at the finish line,” he said.
“Not before you see me!” Matt taunted. Grady sped past both of them and turned back.
“What now?!” he taunted with a laugh. Cirby and Matt looked at each other as Heather, Cameron and I sped past them. They shrugged and joined us. We were at the mouth now…and poured into the lake.

[link] OSiv4BxPvs

Lake Arozimaka was clear of dirtiness when we looked into the water. You could literally see the bottom of the lake where we entered the Flowing Sanctuary! Looking ahead of us, we saw the cave that led to Egeria. We all didn’t hesitate to swim to it. As soon as we arrived, I shined the light on the Ruby Necklace as everyone else did theirs. We emitted light that turned us back into humans…and walked into the cave. Sarah appeared on my shoulder.

[link]

“Wonder what Egeria has to say,” she questioned. I shrugged as we all continued walking. Without warning, the area started to light up with beautiful light coming from the spring in front of us. The merman with his trident appeared once more.
“My children…,” he spoke, “…You’ve all done well to make it this far.” I pulled out the last Fused Shard as Sarah appeared, sitting on my shoulders.
“Here it is,” I said, “The last Fused Shard. We now have the power to defeat Mantus right?” Grady, Matt, Cirby, Cameron and Heather lined up with me in looked at him in wonder. Suddenly…Egeria smiled.
“This is enough power to destroy him and Vali,” he said. I couldn’t believe it! We could actually defeat them both now!”
“GREAT!” Grady yelled, “Now where do we…” Suddenly, a dark ball of great power flew in and took over Egeria. He sunk back into the springs as energy of him died down.

[link]

“What the?” I questioned.
“What was that?” Matt asked. Heather screamed very loudly as we turned around.
“What the heck did you do that for?!” Cameron asked. I looked up at his words as my eyes widened…and I gasped.
“Cameron,” I said, “Look up.”
“What the hell do you want me to…?” Cameron suddenly dropped his mouth as his eyes widened. “Oh my…” A figure about a few inches taller than Matt stood before us. He had kind of a triangular helmet on with two eyes that were dented into the helmet. He wore a huge dark robe that had tears on the outside of it that had vivid darkness patterns sewed into it. He had crooked hands that were black as well as his feet. They were kind of bird looking.
“What the hell is this thing?” Matt asked.
“Looks like a guy in a chicken suit,” Grady answered. Those two were gonna regret saying that…because after we found out who this man was…he was to be feared. He slowly walked closer to us as Sarah grew alarmed.
“MANTUS!” she screamed.
“WHAT?!” we all yelled. Mantus looked at us…or it seemed like it; and stopped in his tracks. He began to speak in one of the most horrifying voices you would’ve ever heard.
“…Chicken Suit?” he questioned. Matt and Grady stopped smiling after his words were spoken…because they were horrified of his voice. It sounded like it was a demon mixed in with a growling lion. “…Have you no respect for those who are stronger than you?” I took my weapons out as everyone else did.
“Not today Mantus!” I yelled, “We have the key weapons to destroying you!” He laughed at us with his horrifying demon voice.
“You mean these?” he asked. The Fused Shards appeared directly in front of us!
“What the?!” Sarah yelled, “How did he get those?!” Suddenly, Sarah was feeling hurt.
“SARAH!” I yelled. She screamed as she flew over next to Mantus.
“Look at you Sarah,” he said, “Did you actually expect to defeat me with these stupid worthless devices that carry absolutely no power at all?”
“WHAT?!” Grady yelled, “THEY’RE FUSED SHARDS! THEY CARRY GREAT POWER THAT CAN BE USED TO DESTROY YOU!” Suddenly, the Fused Shards turned white…and cracked into tiny pieces.
“What power?” he asked, “These have nothing against me. THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN STOP ME OR MY WIFE FROM DESTROYING YOUR WORTHLESS WORLD!” I gained fear in my heart. For the first time in my life…I was afraid. I was paralyzed…I couldn’t move.
“YOU BASTARD!” Matt yelled. He charged in with his spear and got read to stab him. Matt though…was in for a surprise. He stabbed forward instantly…but then…he froze. “What the hell?!” he yelled. The tip of the spear was being stopped by Mantus’ palm!
“You have no idea what you are facing…do you?” he asked. He sent Matt flying back and hit the ground. He didn’t even get up!
“MATT!” I yelled. Mantus looked over at the captive Sarah.
“YOU!” she yelled, “I HATE YOU! I WANT TO KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!” Mantus laughed again that paralyzed me.
“Take a good look in front of you,” he told her, “It is sad that you’ve brought these children so far into their little adventure…that they have to die so quick and painless.” Sarah was doing her best to nudge away from Mantus. Now I could see why he had to be feared. Suddenly, I gained a little courage in my heart.
“Even without the Fused Shards!” I yelled, “You’re going to die today I swear it!” Grady suddenly felt rooted on as Cirby and Cameron did. Cameron turned into his angel form as Heather got her whip out. Matt rose up slowly as Cameron treated him. He was then in the fighting spirit. Mantus laughed.
“You’re all making a big…big mistake,” he warned.
“DIE!” I yelled. The battle began.

[link]

I charged forward with my two swords and swung at Mantus as hard and fast as I could. He quickly teleported…and appeared behind my back. At this, he cut me down with only two swings of his swords!
“AH!” I yelled.
“Rudy!” Sarah yelled, “Mantus is too strong! BACK DOWN NOW WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE!” Matt charged in with spear attacks to his chest. Amazingly, Mantus dodged every single one of the stabs that he had prepared for him and grabbed his neck. He threw Matt down and put his foot on his stomach. At this action, Matt screamed in so much pain blood came out of his mouth! Matt was defeated. Mantus began to walk extremely slow as Grady threw his boomerang at him. Mantus was hit by the boomerang…but he didn’t even flinch!
“That tickled,” he laughed. Grady gulped as Mantus walked to him.
“Oh…sh*t,” he said. In an instant, Grady flew straight through the wall of the cave!
“GRADY!” I yelled. He was defeated.
“GODSCAR!” Cirby yelled. He stabbed the Chakram into the ground and charged it up full power with his hand over it. In two seconds, Cirby threw his other Chakram at the one charging…and it sped off. The attack was going straight towards Mantus as he continued walking to them. The Chakram suddenly just disappeared! “What the?!” Cirby yelled.
“…Surprise…,” Mantus moaned. Suddenly, the Chakram flew back and hit Cirby in the face! He flew into the springs…and floated in the water. Cirby was defeated.
“TAKE THIS!” Cameron yelled. He flew all over the room shooting arrows at Mantus as he just kept on walking. He fired Dusk Balls at Cameron every arrow he shot at him. Luckily, Cameron was prepared for his counters. “Nice try,” Cameron yelled. He pulled out a mirror shield that, upon the Dusk Ball attacks, reflected back at Mantus! Maybe we had a chance! Mantus just kept on walking, reflecting every single shot that flown at him. Suddenly, the last Dusk Ball destroyed his mirror shield. “HEY!” he yelled. Suddenly, Mantus screamed in his demon voice, paralyzing Cameron as he could barely move. After he clapped only just once…Cameron fainted and fell to the ground. He was defeated! Heather and I were left.
“I’M NOT AFRAID OF YOU!” she yelled, “I’LL FIGHT YOU LIKE I DID OTHER DEMONS!” For a brave, independent girl, she charged straight forward and started swinging her whip around and around. These two were parrying like crazy, and Heather had the speed to challenge him! She jumped back and slammed the whip on the ground, causing shocking ripples to travel through the ground. Mantus though…as always…was prepared.
“You are one of the most pathetic human beings I’ve ever met in my life,” he told her, “And right here and now, I’m going to kill you.” Heather ignored his words and continued swinging the whip. In an instant, Dusk Balls emitted the area, flying all over the place. Like her and Jerrod’s battle, she just simply had to dodge the balls that came at her like she did last time. This wasn’t going to be very simple though. The balls flew in at super high speeds!
“I’M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP!” she yelled. She dodged them all like you wouldn’t believe. Sarah smiled suddenly.
“…She may have a fighting chance…,” she said. But that was spoken a little too soon. Suddenly, a Dusk Ball rammed her in the face…and then another did…and then another shot her into the air. From below, all of the Dusk Balls came together to create one huge Dusk Ball that stood there.
“DIE!” Mantus screamed. The ball shot upwards and instantly blew Heather away. She crashed to the ground…not getting up. That was it…all of my friends were defeated.
I tried to get up as fast as I could, but after only two slashes to my back, I couldn’t even move! Mantus was slowly walking towards me that made me grow with fright. I saw that my swords were across from me. I barely had the strength to reach for them, but I wasn’t going to let anybody die here…not even Sarah…and not even me. I reached for them very slowly as Mantus suddenly stepped on my arm. He weighed so much I was screaming in pain. He suddenly grabbed my neck and picked me up from it. I was trying my best to fight back his grip…but it was no use. He squeezed my neck so hard, I couldn’t even breathe; in fact I had to fight for my air! I kicked him, but that only nearly broke my leg! I was slowing down my movements…because now…I was losing my air. After I slowed down, Mantus let go of my neck. I was barely unconscious…but count on it that I was defeated…and so were my friends. The battle was over…we lost…

[link]

My vision was blurring up…big time. I could see Mantus turning to Sarah.
“Look at what you’ve made me do Sarah,” he spoke, “I wasn’t even going to plan on killing them at all, but let them live.”
“YOU’RE LYING!” she yelled, “YOU WERE GOING TO TAKE OVER THIS WORLD AND YOU KNOW IT!” Suddenly, she couldn’t breathe.
“…You were destined to be the next Dauntless Princess in the Dusk Realm…yet you’ve proven nothing to be worthy of that position,” Mantus spoke, “…That’s why I took your position and controlled all of the Dauntli to my will. Now…everything in your realm…and this realm…is mine.” Suddenly, Egeria shot out of the water and shot a huge beam of light at Mantus. He laughed evilly as he grabbed the beam with only one hand. He split the attack, nearly killing Egeria, and…
“NO!” I yelled. Sarah was shot by the beam…and screamed in pain. After the blast, her body was blue…
“…This is going to mark the end of the Light Realm,” he said, “And as for those Fused Shards that you all have worked so hard in getting…” He walked over to the exit of the cave, overlooking Egeria sinking into the water. “I’ll use it to destroy your only way of getting into the Dusk Realm.” Sarah was gasping for air.
“…N…no,” she said weakly, “Not…the Mirror…” In an instant…Mantus disappeared.

[link]

“AH!” I screamed, “…AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I suddenly saw Mantus floating to the top of the beautiful skies of Andorra. I witnessed every human being looking up at him as I heard his voice.
“AT LAST!” he screamed, “ALL OF THE FUSED SHARDS ARE MINE! DOWN WITH THE DUSK REALM MIRROR!” Suddenly, all of the Fused Shards, including the one from Sarah’s helmet, circled Mantus at high speeds. A giant ball of destruction could be seen growing in very hard and fast. The ball suddenly flew towards the six towers in the east…and they were completely obliterated! I witnessed a giant frame that broke into shards…and were gone. “THIS WORLD IS SOON TO BE MINE!” Mantus screamed. At this…he disappeared…and I was unconscious…

well how was that? nice little battle with Mantus eh?

“What is it?” Cameron asked. Grady smiled.
“…Lexi and I…,” he started, “…We’re getting married…and I will be Lake Arozimaka’s Future King.” I looked away.
“You’re staying here with her…aren’t you?” I asked. He smiled.
“Of course,” he answered. I had a tear in my eye.
“Then…you’re leaving us?” I asked.
“Well if I’m going to be king…then yes,” he answered. I stood up and grew angry.
“SO THAT’S IT?!” I yelled, “AFTER ALL THIS TIME WE’VE TAKEN CARE OF YOU?! YOU’RE JUST GONNA LEAVE US JUST LIKE THAT?!” Grady frowned as Heather grew frightened and hid behind Matt.
“…Is there something wrong?” he asked. Lexi frowned.
“WHAT THE HELL GRADY!” I yelled, “YES THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG! YOU’RE JUST GOING TO STAY HERE AFTER WE LEAVE?! WOW YOU’RE SUCH A GREAT FRIEND!” Grady held his hand up.
“Wait a second,” he said, “I’m not staying here yet.” Suddenly…I stopped…and then turned around.

“What power?” he asked, “These have nothing against me. THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN STOP ME OR MY WIFE FROM DESTROYING YOUR WORTHLESS WORLD!” I gained fear in my heart. For the first time in my life…I was afraid. I was paralyzed…I couldn’t move.
“YOU BASTARD!” Matt yelled. He charged in with his spear and got read to stab him. Matt though…was in for a surprise. He stabbed forward instantly…but then…he froze. “What the hell?!” he yelled. The tip of the spear was being stopped by Mantus’ palm!

I charged forward with my two swords and swung at Mantus as hard and fast as I could. He quickly teleported…and appeared behind my back. At this, he cut me down with only two swings of his swords!
“AH!” I yelled.
“Rudy!” Sarah yelled, “Mantus is too strong! BACK DOWN NOW WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE!” Matt charged in with spear attacks to his chest.

Mantus though…as always…was prepared.
“You are one of the most pathetic human beings I’ve ever met in my life,” he told her, “And right here and now, I’m going to kill you.” Heather ignored his words and continued swinging the whip. In an instant, Dusk Balls emitted the area, flying all over the place. Like her and Jerrod’s battle, she just simply had to dodge the balls that came at her like she did last time. This wasn’t going to be very simple though. The balls flew in at super high speeds!
“I’M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP!” she yelled. She dodged them all like you wouldn’t believe. Sarah smiled suddenly.
“…She may have a fighting chance…,” she said. But that was spoken a little too soon. Suddenly, a Dusk Ball rammed her in the face…and then another did…and then another shot her into the air. From below, all of the Dusk Balls came together to create one huge Dusk Ball that stood there.
“DIE!” Mantus screamed. The ball shot upwards and instantly blew Heather away. She crashed to the ground…not getting up. That was it…all of my friends were defeated.
I tried to get up as fast as I could, but after only two slashes to my back, I couldn’t even move! Mantus was slowly walking towards me that made me grow with fright. I saw that my swords were across from me. I barely had the strength to reach for them, but I wasn’t going to let anybody die here…not even Sarah…and not even me. I reached for them very slowly as Mantus suddenly stepped on my arm. He weighed so much I was screaming in pain. He suddenly grabbed my neck and picked me up from it. I was trying my best to fight back his grip…but it was no use. He squeezed my neck so hard, I couldn’t even breathe; in fact I had to fight for my air! I kicked him, but that only nearly broke my leg! I was slowing down my movements…because now…I was losing my air. After I slowed down, Mantus let go of my neck. I was barely unconscious…but count on it that I was defeated…and so were my friends. The battle was over…we lost…

My vision was blurring up…big time. I could see Mantus turning to Sarah.
“Look at what you’ve made me do Sarah,” he spoke, “I wasn’t even going to plan on killing them at all, but let them live.”
“YOU’RE LYING!” she yelled, “YOU WERE GOING TO TAKE OVER THIS WORLD AND YOU KNOW IT!” Suddenly, she couldn’t breathe.
“…You were destined to be the next Dauntless Princess in the Dusk Realm…yet you’ve proven nothing to be worthy of that position,” Mantus spoke, “…That’s why I took your position and controlled all of the Dauntli to my will. Now…everything in your realm…and this realm…is mine.” Suddenly, Egeria shot out of the water and shot a huge beam of light at Mantus. He laughed evilly as he grabbed the beam with only one hand. He split the attack, nearly killing Egeria, and…
“NO!” I yelled. Sarah was shot by the beam…and screamed in pain. After the blast, her body was blue…
“…This is going to mark the end of the Light Realm,” he said, “And as for those Fused Shards that you all have worked so hard in getting…” He walked over to the exit of the cave, overlooking Egeria sinking into the water. “I’ll use it to destroy your only way of getting into the Dusk Realm.” Sarah was gasping for air.
“…N…no,” she said weakly, “Not…the Mirror…” In an instant…Mantus disappeared.

“AH!” I screamed, “…AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I suddenly saw Mantus floating to the top of the beautiful skies of Andorra. I witnessed every human being looking up at him as I heard his voice.
“AT LAST!” he screamed, “ALL OF THE FUSED SHARDS ARE MINE! DOWN WITH THE DUSK REALM MIRROR!” Suddenly, all of the Fused Shards, including the one from Sarah’s helmet, circled Mantus at high speeds. A giant ball of destruction could be seen growing in very hard and fast. The ball suddenly flew towards the six towers in the east…and they were completely obliterated! I witnessed a giant frame that broke into shards…and were gone. “THIS WORLD IS SOON TO BE MINE!” Mantus screamed. At this…he disappeared…and I was unconscious…
