Dreamers 6

Corvus wanted to destroy the world! No! Who would want to die? Even the Man-In-Charge didn’t want to die, only to exist! “Got it yet? Even the Man-In-Charge is stupid enough not to think we shouldn’t be here. Why should we? We just poison the earth, day after day. So what if we were to die? All of us? Wouldn’t the Earth be so much more healthy?” Corvus seemed so different. I knew it took a lot to work up the nerve to want to kill yourself.
“Why, Corvus? Think about how much the human race has done! A lot! We have so many ideas, and you’re just going to chuck that all away!” He’d made me angry. Who said we had to be perfect. Just as I was working out how I was going to seriously injure this man, I realised he had beat me to it. He was wielding a metal pole and swinging it my way before I had a chance to deflect it. There was a loud crack from my arm and a sharp, agonizing pain followed. He had broken my arm! Right! That was it! We were going to stop Corvus! I ran as fast as I could back to the teleporter and set the coordinates back to Limbo. The fierce flourescent light greeted me and I ran straight for Fornax’s quarters. As I got to the door, every single light in the building went red.

I banged violently on Fornax’s door until I managed to put a splinter in the wood. He finally answered and I screamed everything that had happened at him. He grew more and more alarmed as my story went on. The first thing he did was grab my arm, and I immediately let out a yelp of pain. “It’s broken, Fornax! Watch it! Your dear friend Corvus did it with a metal pole!” I cried out in agony.
“Well, he’s gonna have to pay for that.” Fornax’s alarm had turned into anger. He went around banging on everyone’s doors until they emerged yawning and asking questions, but Fornax just ordered them all to go into the teleporter and set the coordinates of Far Limbo. We all arrived there, shocked to see a huge,  green, horned reptile waiting for us. Not some secret movement wanting to destroy the world, but a gianormous monster. Typical.



There were remains of people everywhere. So that’s where all of the people who lived in Limbo before us went! It roared at us and we all discovered it didn’t have the best breath. Actually, it had the breath of a million dead bodies all in different stages of decomposition. I saw Scutum grab a bar of metal that was lying around, probably one of the corpse’s weapons, and wack one of it’s legs with gritted teeth and a kind of battle cry, as hard as he could. It immediately roared even louder than before, and kicked him to the red brick wall. Scutum hit the wall with a loud crack and fell dead. Lucy was stupid enough to try again, but his time with a sword. She managed to make no more than a surface wound on the gigantic reptile, but she was fast. She grabbed the sword and crawled underneath the creature, a look of desperation on her face. I gave her a nod indicate she did well, but before she could smile back at me, Fornax came with a crate of explosives. I thought I saw him mouth something like get out, but I was staying where I was. I wasn’t going to let him do this! He wouldn’t be able to get out fast enough after he set them off! As the others got back in the teleporter, I was keen to take this thing out. I threw a number of weapons at it, but none of them helped. I wasn’t going to let Fornax give his life. I ran around the back of the reptile, with a gianormous sword and took a swing at one of it’s legs. It let out an agonized roar cross scream type of noise, and I felt a pang of satisfaction. But it was soon to be abolished when its tail swung towards me and propelled me across the room. I made a loud grunting sound from the tail and the wall, and fell onto a pile of mouldy looking bones. I felt someone dragging me out, and all I could remember after that was a loud bang and my ears popping like balloons.
