Chapter 1: A New World


BTW there are a few references in this chapter, see if you can spot them. ;-)

Once the Portal Dimension, had been abandoned by Rena and the Blazerods it turned into a eerily quiet room. The silence could almost deafen anyone if they were in the silence for to long. Even still the silence was refreshing if you had returned from a dimension with endless noise, it was peaceful.... Until a familiar group of people returned from a dangerous world. "Aaahhhhh!!!" A scream echoed through the room as a bearded man known as Ivor ran through a baby pink portal.

He was followed by a blonde boy, by the name of Lukas, a ginger haired girl, by the name of Petra, and their leader, a raven haired girl, known as Jesse. "What are you doing!!! Block off the Portal!!" Ivor screeched at Jesse who had fallen on the floor upon her arrival.

"Alright I'm on it!!" She said as she got up and ran towards the portal with blocks of cobblestone in her hands but she was quickly knocked off her feet when a huge pure white dragon head, with blood red eyes exploded through the portal. "*Gasp* GUYS HELP ME!!!" Jesse started to try the push the head back through the portal before it got through completely and destroyed everything.

However her friends were to slow to help her and she was snapped between the dragons large mouth. The group looked on horrified, frozen with fear, unable to move and save her friend. The dragon seemed satisfied with the meal it just consumed until the dragons expression turned into a scared face, a face you would make if you realised that you just ate poison. A diamond sword was swiftly pierced through the dragons neck and sliced off with full force. The group was shocked but relieved that Jesse was ok. And there she was, standing brave and proud as the dragons head disappeared into smoke. "Oh my god!! Jesse I'm so glad you're ok!!" Petra yelled as she ran up to her slime bathed sister and hugged her tightly.

"Y-yeah..... Urg.." Jesse was out of breath was relieved that the dragon had a thin neck and it was easy for her to slice off. "Remind me the next time we face a dragon, not to do anything..." Jesse laughed as was released from the hug.

"Noted." Lukas laughed as he jokingly write down her quote in his 'Biome Journal'. "At least you're ok.... I don't know what I would-- What WE would do if we lost you.." He quickly corrected his mistake, with a slight blush appearing on his face.

"Well you'd have a lot less muscle.." Jesse joked. Although, she knew that she didn't have much, if any, muscles, she was very strong and skilled in sword fighting, which is what she really meant.

The three laughed at her comment hysterically before they noticed Ivor admiring a fancy portal. He was standing before a milky white Quartz portal, with purple accents at the side, making the portal a sparkling purple colour. "Ivor. What do you think you're doing?" Petra warned as the group approached and interrupted his 'weekly' daydream.

"What does it look like? I'm picking our next destination!!" Ivor replied in his usual annoyed tone of voice.

"Ivor now is not the time!! Jesse needs to rest!!" Petra yelled at Ivor, annoyed with his unconcern for Jesse's health. "She was just swallowed by a freaking dragon for peats sake!!"

"Come on Petra!!! Don't you smell it!?"

"Yes me!! What's your point Ivor!!" Jesse said slightly offended.

"No!! It's the smell of adventure!!" Ivor said as he twirled towards the portal, anybody would guess he took dancing lessons from Soren.

"That's the smell of blood."

"That is what adventure smells like!!"

"I'm pretty sure that's what death smells like." At this point Petra and Lukas were laughing at Jesse's attempt to be sassy but Ivor was annoyed.

"You know what fine!! Be a wimp!! I'm going through!!" Ivor stormed through the portal sounding like an annoyed little kid.

"Ivor seriously!!" Ivor had made Petra more annoyed than he did the night of the Witherstorm incident. "UGGHHH!!!"

"I guess that's the new dimension we're going to explore." Lukas stated, although he wasn't surprised that Ivor went through by himself in a huff.

"Come on we got to catch up to him!!!!" Petra yelled as she ran through the portal following Ivor.

"Lady's First." Lukas joked as he bowed in front of Jesse, gesturing the portal.

"Such a gentleman.." Jesse sweetly said as she slowly walked through the portal.

As Jesse arrived she looked at her surroundings for Petra, most likely beating up Ivor but she didn't she them, or anyone. Surrounding her seamed to be a small Forrest of birch and oak trees and several purple flowers littering the ground around it. Jesse was confused and worried, there was no way Petra and Ivor could disappear that quickly and if they had gotten kidnapped or arrested they would have yelled for Jesse to help or to run away. "Petra!!! Ivor!! IF THIS IS A JOKE ITS NOT FUNNY!!!!!!" Jesse called for them at the top of her voice but she didn't move from her spot.

She knew that if she ran off Lukas would be more confused than she was. She patiently waited for one of them to arrive... But nobody came....

Nobody she knew at least....

"Well..." A masculine voice came from behind the trees, making Jesse gasp with surprise. "Look who it is..... The very person we were looking for." The voice revealed themselves with three other people.

Their faces were covered by an iron helmet to match the armour hugging their muscular bodies. Over their chest plate was a white top with a black cross. They appeared to be guards of a big kingdom known as O'kasis. "If I am correct.. You are Jesse The Leader. Leader of the Order of the Stone.."

Jesse couldn't believe what she was hearing. She knew that this definitely wasn't her dimension, it was obvious, so she didn't know how these people knew of her. "How do you--"

"Lord Zane has asked for you to be delivered to O'kasis." This confirmed it, nobody in her world was a Lord. There wasn't that sort of class system. "He has offered a huge reward for whoever finds and delivers you. So that means you are veeerrryy valuable.." His comments made all the guards laugh. "Get 'er boys!!"

As he said that, the guards took their swords out and slowly surrounded her. In response Jesse pulled out her diamond sword, ready to fight for her life. The guards thought nothing of it and just continued to walked towards her, smirking through their helmets. They knew Jesse wouldn't fight her and she knew it herself. She fought and killed, skeletons, zombies, spiders but she couldn't bring herself to fight another person.... And she didn't have to... "HEY!!!" A voice called from behind the men, causing them to stop in their tracks and turned around to see who it was.

Before them were two men. One of the men had light brown hair and light blue eyes. He wore a black trousers, a white long sleeve top with a belt rapped around his hip to his shoulder and a dark blue shoulder length jacket with long brown leather gloves. The other had dark blue hair and matching blue eyes. He wore a long sleeve white top and trousers with brown and blue gloves, like the other boy he wore a belt from his shoulder to his hip and a belt. "What are you O'kasis guards doing here? Bullying young girls?" The brown haired boy commented.

Jesse was thankful that someone had come to her rescue but didn't like the cockiness in his voice, in response she just rolled her eyes. "Our business is not your concern!!" The guard spat at the two.

"Well actually it is... You see you are standing on Phoenix Drop land, we have every right to know!!" The blue haired boy responded. "Let the girl go.. Because if you don't we have every right to arrest you!!"

The guards reluctantly separated so she could go past, as she started to walk away a guard behind raised his sword to hit her over the head and knock her out but something happened which nobody expected. She anticipated it and managed to block and disarm him with one swift movement earning many surprised stares. "Don't. Mess. With. Me!" Jesse was stressed, tired and covered in dragon blood and spit, she didn't want to have trouble from a group of strangers.

The guards soon stopped staring and started laughing like a maniac. "You act all brave now but once we take you to the high priest, you'll be shacking in your little boots and begging for mercy!!" The head guard was smirking under his helmet, he was quite impressed with her actions, nobody would even dare to look at them the the way Jesse was.

"You don't know what I've been through.... What I've seen... Or done........ You have no idea!!"

"She's definitely got guts.." The brown haired boy whispered to blue hair boy.

"A lot of them too." The blue added.

"You know what? We'll just leave.." He started to turn around and started to walk away but... "And we'll take you with us!!"

The guard lunged at Jesse with full force, which caught her by surprise and she wasn't ready to fight back. Immediately they were in battle, anticipating each other's next move just by looking in the others eyes. This is never told in stories but, if you look hard enough and focus carefully, you can see your opponents next move but it you can only see it if you're skilled enough. It's something few learn. The guard had more practice in combat compared to Jesse and easily overpowered and disarmed her. As her back hit the ground with a thud the guard prepared his sword for the final blow that would knock her out but he was stopped by an emerald green sword blocking his attack.

"You want a fight!!" The brown haired boy used his sword to pull the guards away from her. "Let's fight then!!" He cracked his neck before he lunged at the guard and attacked him.

All eyes were on the sword fight between the two guards, until the blue haired boy whistled to get the other three guards attention. "You two!!" He pointed at two guards next to each other. "You're mine." He readied his two katana's for his fight.

The guards were the lazy type and preferred to just watch the fight rather than fight themselves but knowing that it could cost them their lives or worse their jobs, they reluctantly decided to fight the blue guard. One guard was left and started eyeing Jesse, hungrily, he slowly approached her but Jesse wasn't going to let anyone else touch her.. He didn't even see her grab her sword, she just grabbed it and readied herself to fight him. "Heh heh!! You really think that you can fight me!! Heh heh!! Don't make me laugh!!"

"You'd be surprised.." Jesse slightly smirked but immediately frowned after.

They both were ready waiting for the other to make the first move but in the end, Jesse was the one to attack the guard. Their battle was less active as the other two fights around them, mainly because Jesse was tired and the guard was lazy, but the guard managed to disarm Jesse and knock her off her feet.

The guards true intentions were sinister and I dare not even think about what he was thinking and I recommend that you don't either. He didn't show his intentions but instead plunged his sword deep into her leg causing her blood to flood out and stain the grass beneath her. Jesse's screams was so high pitched, it could deafen anyone who was close enough to her, and she was panting like a dog on a hot day. Her eyes never left her leg, she was in too much pain to focus on anything else. It was a burning sensation combined with pins and needles, the air would also cause it to sting. "Tell the devil I said 'Hello' when you get to hell!!" He lifted his sword to land his final blow but he was stopped faster than it took him to lift his sword.

Before he could recall what happened he was knocked off his feet and met with two pairs of blue eyes. "LEAVE!!" One of the owners of the eyes commanded to the terrified guard.

He scrambled to his feet and clumsily ran towards the rest of the guards who were also trying to run out of sight. "Are you ok ma'm?" The blue haired boy asked as he cautiously approached Jesse, who was now shaking with fear and from blood loss.

"I-I-I-I-I'm.... F-f-f-fi-i-in-n-ne..." Jesse was struggling to get a word out of her mouth without stuttering.

"It's ok calm down..." He attempted to comfort her but it only resulted with her become more afraid. "We'll get you help but you have to trust us... Do you trust me?" He reached a hand towards her.

Jesse couldn't speak anymore only nod slightly. Upon her nodding, he carefully picked her up bridal style and started walking towards a distant village. "Come on Laurence.. She needs help!!"

"Right behind you Dante!!" And with that the darkness consumed her and she passed out...
