So much has happened in the series already, and I'm happy to say its not over yet! So don't loose hope in this! It's gonna be awesome! Guys I also want to point out that THIS IS THE FINALE BEFORE THE FINALE!!!!!!!!So get ready for a epic chapter!

Also check out a spinoff to this book,GOLDS PAST. Made by @goldenfreddy1235!

Gold's Pov- I wake up to the smell of a campfire. Maybe I could roast some marshmallows! I get up and scream. The campfires not a campfire! It's a house fire!!!!!! "Mei! Mei! Help!!!!" My throat hurts from the smoke. And I don't see Mei anywhere! Oh man oh man! What do I do? The fire is now at my feet.

I run to the door,but fall through a hole. My bear falls to the ground and I can't remember anything from there. But I did wake up on the floor. There was somebody screaming and I got up. I took my bear and held him close. I can't lose him!

I run and see a door. I open it and theres the outside! It's so bright out here, with all the lights in the trees! Wait no that's fire. Oops. I think I see somebody over by the beach so I guess I could stay there. I look back at the hotel and its a huge torch in the middle of the Forest.

ClintTheMcGuy's Pov- I look down at the little silverfish and say"Hey you. Come here." Its hiding under my desk and I don't really know where it came from. It scuttles out, making a tiny squeak noise. It's cute and I go to pick it up. I've never really seen one alive. Just in books where they talked about the mysterious "Strongholds". Sounds beast right?!

" Dude this is so cool." I say out loud. MIND BLOWN. His name will be Dude! I know it sounds stupid but it kinda fits him. "CLINT THERES A FIRE! WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Kiwi screamed. "It's OK. Just be quiet." I smile. Kiwi frowns and runs down the hall. I pack up my suitcase and walk down the hall. Dude jumps into my coat pocket and looks at the fire.

I'm almost to the door when disaster strikes. Or should I say fire. The stairs is catching on fire and I need to get out! I jump four blocks, which is totally dangerous and then do a 180 jump over to a balcony and swing off of it. Dude hangs on for dear life as I jump down the rest of the stairs. I fall real hard and hurt my foot, but I'm fine. Across the field is a light. Maybe everyone's out already? I stab a zombie and walk that way. Dude smiles.

Radio Stereo's Pov- I wake up and cough up water. What used to be my bed is now in the basement. And the basement is filled with ocean water. I frown and take out my wood sword. I know it's wooden but I have to have something to fight with! I jump down.

Wading through the water, I see a hole in the wall with water gushing in. Maybe I can get out of here from here? I swim up and out of the basement. A Guardian(if you don't know what it is it looks like a dragon underwater. Just check up Minecraft Guardian.) Appears right in front of me and I scream underwater. I throw the sword.

It hits the Guardian and it does. I fist pump and my fist goes through to the surface. I see land just a little ways south. Swimming, I see Cat, Gold, Clint and a wretched silverfish. Ugh those things are gross. I cough and sit down on some benchs, freezing. But alive.

Wolfie's Pov- I run back and scream. THE HOTEL IS ON FIRE!!!!!!"Cassette we gotta get inside there! My hats in there and I can't lose it!" I scream. Cat's dogs start barking and I run towards the house. A zombie wants to give me a hug but I kick it down. I need my hat.

I run inside, Parkour up the steps ,and race to my room. I walk in and Kiwi just randomly flies through the walls. He looks hurt but I don't have time to help him! I gotta get my stuff! I open my chest and take out my hat, my books, drawings, and a random Glowstone Bracelet I once got a concert. I run out the door and go outside.

I fall on my face when I reach everyone. "What took you so long?" Clint smiles. "Don't even. I made it out faster than you! " I smile. "Yeah whatever. I was going sanic speed!" Clint laughed. "Well I was going the Speed of Light!" Clints face went red for he knew he lost to me! "Oh what is that I hear?That's the sound of somebody outta comebacks! " I fist pump and yell "WOLFIE RULES!"

Cat's Pov- I sit here in quiet as Wolfie does a victory dance. I'm so alone. I mean Clint, Gold,and Wolfie are good company but I am worried Kiwi didn't make it out. He said he had to go get a secret stash of watermelons he saved in a chest in a secret part of the hotel. I have no clue but I am just super bored. THATS WHEN I SCREAM.

A part of the hotel explodes and hurls TNT over to us. "Get down!" Clint screams as the TNT blows up. I got hurled into the ocean and I can't swim! "Guys help me!" I scream. Ocean water invading my lungs and I can't breath! I feel like I'm dying. Wolfie swims out and saves me from an almost crazy doom. I make it to land and puke up sea water. Gross.

Gold offers to give me his teddy bear if I'm scared but I pass. For right now, I'm not scared. Just worried. A lot of our friends aren't here yet and Kiwi hasn't came out of the hotel yet. Hmm... Well I guess I'll keep waiting. I hope that was all of the TNT.......

Indiana Original's Pov- What the heck is going on?!?! Smoke has filled my room and I see fire on the walls. I panic and run to my books. Grabbing all of them, I stuff them in my backpack. Not all of the fit so I leave behind a few stories from Shelties2. Sorry Shelties. Maybe next time.

I slip on a piece of paper as I run down the hallway. There is fire blocking the exit but the window is open. I shrug and jump put the window. Good thing these leads are blocks or I would be hurting really bad right now. I climb down and come face to face with a zombie. I throw a book in its face and yell"Read books you retard!" It frowns and picks it up.

I look back and its eating the pages of the book. Lucky I gave him a blank book that really had nothing in it. Running to the front, I scramble to get to the beach as zombies Chase me from behind. Clint and Wolfie help me and kill the zombies with scythes.

Cassette's Pov- I smile. While on my travels with Cat's dogs, one of the (named by her Twinkie) found a regeneration potion! I am so excited! Jessamine will finally be alive again! It's gonna be awesome. Hopefully nothing stands in my way. Well this fire Does..

I run up to my room and grab my compass, clock, books, and a dog collar that I found. It says"Doggie" on it. Hmmmm. Wonder who's that could've been? Oh well. I'll just keep it;maybe for good luck? Who knows. I run outside and catch on fire. Yeah. I did.

"Someone help!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I felt like I had one heart left and luckily was at the ocean. I jumped in and the fire was put out. Thank God! "You OK?" Gold peeps over a chair."Fine. Just burnt a little." "You just had to catch on fire." Clint smiled deviously. "It was Cassette's Mixtape. He spits so much fire he set himself on fire!" Wolfie smiled. I'm not sure if that helped out but OK.

Mei's Pov- I scream as I run away from the zombies on fire. The stupid things keep chasing me. I run out of the hotel and sprint in my sandals. I can see the beach from here and I see some people. Racing ,I make it to the beach and take a seat by Radio.

"Hey Mei." He smiles. "Can I say something crazy?" "I guess you could." I smile"I love crazy. " " He smiles and says"I really like you. Your cute and amazing and I just really know you well" He smiles. Radio... I never realized he had a crush."There's one problem though"

"I hate your Panda Hat." DID HE JUST GO THERE?"LISTEN YOU PUNK! I DON'T CSRE WHAT YOU THINK. MY PANDA HAT IS AMAZING! IF YOU CAN'T RESPECT THE PANDA, THEN GO TO THE NETHER! " I slap him in the face and kick him in the balls. He deserved it.

Nexiline's Pov- Why is there flames everywhere?!?! Like what? I get all my stuff and run down the hall. The hall is on fire. Wow. CAN THIS DAY GET ANY MORE EVIL?!?!? ER MA GURD! I jump out the window. "I am Batman!" I do a pose and hit the ground. Hard.

A zombie is sitting there reading pieces of a book when I land. He jumps up and walks over to me. I'm trapped. I'm actually trapped! Oh no oh no! I try to punch it back but he snaps at my hand. I scream as the stupid thing bites me in the shoulder. I'm dead. Nah!

But he did bite me. So I kicked him in the face and broke his foot. Deal with it bro. Running to the beach, I see Clint and everyone. "Clint! Clint! I need something! I got bit!" I show him the mark. " GUYS DOES ANYONE HAVE A REGENERATION POTION?! ANYONE?!" The crowd goes silent. Nobody speaks or says anything. Oh no

Malix's Pov- I punch Kiwi through the walls. The power surges through my veins. I should've became a Brine a long time ago! "Please...Malix....please......st-stop" Kiwi mutters. I pick him up by the shirt and slam him against thee book shelf's. He crumples down and looks really hurt.....oh well. I can't wait to kill him, and make Kiwi Stew. Ah...cannibalism. Such a wonderful concept. He grabs a book and throws it at me.

"MORTAL SCUM! YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!" I pick him up and throw him through three walls. He looks so in pain and looks almost dead. But not quite. I'll just left him slowly die right in front of me. Make it as painful and excruciating as it can get. "Malix's. I've had enough." He stands up. "What?!? How are you?" He reveals a golden apple. Ugh this is gonna suck.

I take out my Obsidian-outlined,Redstone-Encrusted Iron sword. Oh well. Sushi it is! He pulls out a tiny shovel. Does he really think he can defeat me.... With that? No !matter the battles begun. Kiwi jumps up onto a torch and then onto a lever. I follow and I push him. He falls and hangs onto a chandelier in the middle of the room. The middle of the hotel, which is about ten stories tall! Perfect spot for him to die!! Muhahahahahahahahah. Evil.

I swing my sword to the left, dodging his swing to the right then push him back and kick the chain holding the chandelier. The huge thing sways and hits the wall. Kiwi holds on by just a hand. I smile but didn't see the other wall. I scream as I hit it and hit my head on the chandelier chain. Wood planks on fire are starting to fall on the chandelier. Perfect!

I get back up and sprint. Kiwi is holding onto the chain for dear life and I push him away from it. That's when the glass in the top collapses. I brace for it with my awesome sword but Kiwi is hit with tons of shards of glass. My time to strike. I slice his shoes and his side and he trips backwards. He is holding on now by three fingers. "YOUR DEATH IS HERE IMBECILE! PREPARE FOR YOUR INEVITABLE FATE!" I raise the sword and strike down

Kiwi Fruit's Pov- I swing my shovel up and hit him. And to think I used this shovel for gardening! Huh! I get up and face Malix. He growls in frustration and races towards me . I duck as he catches on fire by a falling fire block. He sits there and endures it,not even flinching at pain. "Woa" I paid. He smiles evilly, his eyes going a solid red. Oh no. He jumps and kicks me in the face. But I'm not giving up! I can do this. For Cat. So she'll be safe from this monster..

I look over as I see zombies on fire running up and parkouring up. They start to push me and Malix off the edge. Malix takes his sword and slices through three of there heads. I sit down and realize the chain on the chandelier thing is breaking. I have to figure out a way to end this. And fast. Malix ,though, grins wildly,like the creepy zombies out there.

He takes out a knife and pushes me down. He pins me to the ground and I try to move but can't get up. "YOU REALIZE I DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT CAT. THAT I WANT TO TAKE YOU ALL DOWN...TO TEAR YOU TO PIECES... TO EAT YOU ALIVE. " he shows me his burnt arm, which is actually green. "Your a-"" Half-human? You could say that. You know now you can't beat me. And I'm going to end you right now. " He raises the dagger.

I push him off of me and he stumbles backwards and falls. Down a ten story drop. Ouch. I Parkour down on some side things and make it to the first level. There's no blood over where he fell which is kinda weird. But I don't care. I gotta get outta here. As I leave, the chandelier falls to the ground and crushes him. Not literally, but it lands on him. Ouch.

I look for a way out an see the outside. Running outside, I am really wondering if we teleported to the Nether or something. Because this place is.... On fire. Speaking of fire, I was about to leave when the zombies on fire surrounded me. I'm trapped. I really am....

Gokart's Pov- I wake up and look at Jon. He is holding onto his pillow and looking down at the ground. He's scared about the mouse isn't he? Wow. Well I'm out. I head downstairs to see Red and Soma,who just got back from the outskirts of Imperial. I hear it's one of the most dangerous places to head to right now. Well I'm not going!

I sit on the couch in the lobby and drink a soda. It's kinda nice and peaceful and the plants really make for a unique lobby. Ugh what can I say?!? I'm bored!!!!!!!! I decide to go to sleep. What can ya do huh?

So when I was sleeping, I had a dream of this place that was on fire. That people had been living there and that some guy that was crazy was defeated there. And that the hero was hurt and captured by zombies. I woke up from the dream a little freaked out because it felt so real. I have a feeling it will come lucky in the future..

Jedi1Jon's Pov- So I am a little scared of a rarat? But who cares? I mean does it really matter much.... Ugh I'm just gonna forget it. The girls can't play a prank on me like this again. I won't let it happen! I just won't!

I run downstairs and decide to eat some cereal. Taking out some Lucky Charms, I go to get a drink from the fridge. I open it and .........we'll let's just say you could hear it a long ways away. A creeper head was in the fridge. Right there where the drinks should be.

I held in barf but puked in my cereal and had to dump it out. Gros. Ugh but why do they always prank me. I feel the dark side of the Force saying to prank them back but I know better.... But I'm still gonna do it.

Kyler's Pov- I sit there over by my horse, Shadow. He is doing OK today but is really annoyed by all of Jon's screaming and carrying on. I go out and bring over some hay bales over to his stall. A guy sits there on the haybales, watching me.

"Hello?" I asked. "Oh Hey. Nice to meet you. You look pretty." He smacks his face in stupidty and falls backwards into another hay bale. "Who are you?" I ask. "Names Crown. Crown Alexander Copernicus Salmon. And you my fair lady may be?" He holds mmy han and I take it away."Kyler."

"So you creep. What are you doing around here? Trying to steal my horse.?" I glare over ast him. "No. Just lookin for a group of people that I can hopefully survive with so I don't die. " He smiles. I cough and simply say"Well we aren't that group so get out." He smiles and says"Yeah you kinda are." He sits back in the hay pile and laughs. What a weirdo.

Soma's Pov- I didn't like the outskirts of Imperial. It was scary with all the buildings and the potential humans that could be alive. I heard rumors about bandits in that part of town,another reason why I didn't want to go yet I did anyways.

I sit down and look around. Jon looks green, Kyler is talking to a dude on a hay bale, Gokart's just laying on a couch and everyone's just doing nothing. I feel like I should maybe clean this place up but I'm not sure. It's a wreck. Really it Is.

I go and sit over by the TV. If only we had a generator so we could power the TV. But then again, it probably wasn't able to pick up any channels. What kind channels would exist during the apocalypse? I mean really. Let's be honest. The apocalypse fricking sucks

Queen of Red's Pov- I look around in the mysterious place. This basement is really creepy, especially with all this blood and zombie heads and stuff like that. Just....ewww. I take my lantern with me and investigate all of it. Thats when I see something. A potion

I read the label on the bottle and it says Regeneration Potion Interesting. I will keep it for later. I look around and find some armour(leather), books, and a zombie head, which is just plain gross. I leave that there but take all the rest and go back upstairs. Yeeesh.

When I wake it up,Soma looks over in awe at so e of the stuff I have. She found the regeneration potion interesting too. But we are worried its a lie....like cake. I don't know but I really need adventure. Anything rather than this place.

Callie's Pov- I gotta stay calm. Just ignore the voices. Stay calm. Stay calm. Ignore...all...voices. I sit in my dark room and cry. I feel broken and weird. I don't know but I keep hearing voices. Voices that are screaming at me or for me. It's scary.

I have to stay calm though.. I have to.... Have to say calm. Stay calm. You'll be fine. You'll be fine e. Ugh I can't even think right now. The voices in my head and won't get out!HELP ME SOMEONE! HELP ME PLEASE! CALLIE SAVE ME!

Someone. Anyone. Save me from these voices.....
