Game on

Level 15: A Bold Move.

Dodging a swipe from Glitch, I rolled under his guard, and stabbed his shoulder, only to receive a vicious back hand that sent me stumbling back. "Come on, Q! Let me make it fast. I promise it'll hurt for a second." Glitch taunted, lunging forwards, aiming for my throat. I barely managed to deflect the tip of the spear away from me. "How about no?" I said, rolling along the side and slashing his side, earning a roar of pain from him. "Insolent brat!" He said, knocking me back with a wave of his hands. "I've bested thousands of people before you! While we are in the video game realm, you can't beat me!" I rose to my feet, cradling my side. Damn it. He's right. I can't get him from the side and that spear has way too much reach on me. The bastard has way too much power over me. What can I do?

Glitch must have sensed my inner struggle, because he chuckled lightly, shaking his head. "Now, now. What would Tyson think if his brother chickens out?" He asked, snapping his fingers,and causing Tyson to appear by Victor and Ivan, still wearing the athletic shirt and shorts from the evening I entered the game world. "Quinton!" He called out, making my stomach drop. I knew that he was captured, but seeing him, his normally kept foahawk hair messed up,his skin,which was usually almost the same shade as me, had paled considerably. "You... you... you..." I sputtered,snapping my head to face Glitch. "You said you wouldn't hurt him!" "And I didn't. He just... lost touch with the world." He grinned, showing half his face exposed through his cheek. "It isn't his fault he enjoys my little chamber of games." I felt my blood boil, and my hand tighten on the handle of my dagger. "How long was he in there?" I growled, slowly stalking towards him. "Oh... I don't know." Glitch said, tapped his chin with the spear. "About two to three days." I felt my muscles tense up, then swell with rage.

Three days?! We've been gone for three days?! This fool's going to pay for this.

Unleashing a roar that surprised everyone, even me, I charged Glitch, slashing at his head. I managed to get a shot to his cheek, before I felt the tip of the spear penetrate my gut. Freezing, I heard my brother call out for me, but I could not reach him. Looking down, I saw that the spear had hit me dead center in my gut. I felt the spear twist in my body, and I screamed, feeling every nerve on fire. "Looks like its game over for you, Quinny boy." Glitch breathed in my face, shoving the spear deeper. Coughing up blood, I looked up into his face, and grinned, displaying blood covered teeth. "Don't speak so soon, Johnny. Remember what you said? We're in the game world. " I grabbed the spear from him and pulled away. "And anything goes." Reading back with my dagger, I slashed at his throat hard,my blade caught in his vertebrae. "Now... Die!" I roared, ripping the spear out of my body, and ramming it into his ribs. I placed my hand over the hole in my body, and grasped the dagger with my right hand. "When you go to Hell, tell Jacky boy that Quinton says hello." Throwing my weight up and into the dagger, I cut through the vertebrae, and cutting his head clean off. Dropping the dagger, I staggered back,coughing up serious amounts of blood. Looking over at the others, I raised my right hand, and gave a thumbs up, before dropping to my knees. Looking at Victor, I nodded at him,before dropping face first into the floor, the darkness consuming me slowly.

At least I beat the game.. I thought, smiling as the darkness reached the center of my vision.
