"mmmm, this water is soooo good. I havnt had a proper drink in ages!" Jake cupped the cool water with his hands and slurped it up. Jinxx was on his tummy lapping it up like a dog whilst the other 3 had already drank.
"Its a shame it's not beer" Ashley said, leaning against a rock. This made the others laugh.
"So where are these blasted dogs then?" said CC.
"Somewhere over this river I hope"
"I don't know" Andy sighed. "I guess we should just try and get over the river anyway"
"Its so fast though" Jake said.
"We could always take that bridge over there" Jinxx said. All of them looked up stream to see a moss covered, rickety bridge. Some bricks looked like they had been deliberately taken out of the bridge and placed on the ground which was weird but the guys were thankful that there was another way to get across rather than the perilous looking rocks.

They were just casually talking as they took their first few steps over the ancient bridge and it just seemed like any other bridge but of course this isn't a normal story about normal things so of course something happened.

"TRIP TROP TRIP TROP, WHO'S THAT WALKING OVER MY BRIDGE!!!" a voice boomed from under the bridge, making it vibrate with the sound of its voice.
"What the hell was that!?" Jake cried. They all froze.
"Look over the bridge" Andy said and they ran over and looked down and saw an ugly beast coming up after them.
It had big hollow eyes where you could see right into its black soul. All over its body it was covered in warts and fungus and its skin was a rough, cracked greyish materiel, coated in blotches and dust. It looked foul and it also smelt foul too. Like cat pee and smelly socks which have been left rotting for about a year;
"TRIP TROP TRIP TROP, WHO'S THAT WALKING OVER ME BRIDGE?!?!" It roared again, it's yellow strained teeth clearly visible along with the remains of all its past unfortunate victims and a waterfall of green tinged saliva.
"Eeeew. How do we defeat this one?" Jake nudged CC.
"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME!!! I WILL BREAK YOUR BONES TO TEACH YOU TO NEVER AGAIN CROSS MY BRIDGE!!!" The troll hit out with a clumsy, germy hand. Ashley nimbly dodged it.
"This will be a tough one" Jinxx hid behind a rock.
Everyone was trapped and there was no escape. This time they were convinced they were going to die. Everyone was out of harm's way, hidden under the rock Jinxx found, but not for long. The mighty monster was tearing apart the rock bit by bit. None of them, not even together could match its strength.
"I'll say the word" Jake volunteered.
"What word?" Ashley asked.
"The magic word" Jake plucked up the courage and then after giving himself some words of encouragement he jumped out onto the bridge so he was facing the troll.
"IT IS HUMANS!!! I HATE HUMANS!!!" it punched put, narrowly missing Jake's face. It'd be better to say the word sooner rather than later.
"FORTISSIMO!!!!" Jake waited. And there the ground shook and before him now appeared an electric guitar. Jake grabbed it and started playing a tune, hoping it'd fall asleep like the Fairy Bugs. But no it did not work. He looked at it helplessly then remembered he could use it for one very special thing.... Karate!
Jake grabbed the guitar head and swirled it round his head.
"Take that!" he smashed the trolls face.
"And that!" he brought the guitar down on its shoulder blade, barely making a dent.
The troll retaliated, sending Jake back with a blow. Jake winced but mustered the courage to get back up and finish him off. Soon all could be heard was
*Boom*
*Pow*
*Crack*
*Smack*
*Crunch*
*BANG!!!*
*....Thud*
Jake finally managed to hit the troll so many times on the head that he eventually broke its skull and it fell to the ground. Jakes pure ninja skills had left him unharmed and done a lot of damage to the beastly creature instead, which now lay dead.
"Hip hip hooray!!" the others cheered, Jake must really be a natural.
Everyon was hyped up now after seeing the fight and they rushed on ahead, the trees slowly becoming less and less after the crossing.

They came to a hill and decided it'd be best to climb it so at the top they can have a good view of everything and see where Killer and Tokoyo could be. But when they huffed and puffed there way to the top they saw some weird plant thing in the middle of it. What on earth could it be?
