It was a massacre. Blades swung viciously, blood dripped to the cold, dead ground. All I could do was stand there and fight side to side with my team. I swung my blade fearlessly, like I was fighting all my life. The army mainly consisted of Orcs, Cyclopes', Triterras, and Mourntalons. An Orc holding a sword faced me and attacked. It swung its blade at my chest, but I deflected by holding my machete close to my chest and kicked the Orc back. A Mourntalon threw a punch from behind, but I quickly maneuvered my blade behind my back to deflect the punch. The metallic fist of the Mourntalon clashed against my machete. The Orc got back up. I swung my machete back in front of me and then quickly launched it at the Orc. It stuck into the Orc's chest. I summoned my machete back quickly and spun around slashing at the Mourntalon, they both exploded into dust.

I watched as my friends fought valiantly. Brook's blazing sword seared through a Triterra on her right. A Triterra came up from behind her. Emma teleported behind Brook and threw daggers at it, piercing the Triterra's thick skin.

I saw as Jeremey threw a few throwing stars, sticking into the necks of Cyclopes'. An Orc swung and axe at his head, but he ducked and turned into a blade himself, mowing the Orc down.

Mason provided support to everyone. Shooting monsters with explosive grappling hooks when needed. Conner rolled around, shooting his bow, and never missing. He notched three arrows and took out nine Orcs. Together, we made a perfect team. I then saw a monster dash up to Conner. I ran up to it and jumped up, stabbing my machete in it's back and sliding down it's back, cutting the monster in half. It exploded in dust.

"Thanks J." Conner said.

"No problem." I said and then quickly turned around to cut off one of the three arms on a Triterra. The Triterra's two remaining rough fists collided with my machete.

"We're kind of like the Three Musketeers, aren't we?" Conner asked. Conner shot the Triterra in front of me in the head.

"Uh, I guess." I said throwing my machete sideways. It flew and pierced a monster's chest. I summoned it back and did a little spin with it.

"Because, the Three Musketeers had four members. The Big Five has six members." Conner said.

"Don't count yourself in so easily Conner." I said. After the fighting seemed to be in a low state of being, the group slowly backed into the middle of the battlefield. It seemed to be calm, but we soon realized we were surrounded.

"Looking pretty bad guys." Emma said.

"Nah." Jeremey said. We continued our fighting. We fought for what seemed like hours. Nothing but nonstop battle. When it seemed to clear up, more monsters came.

"Dominic must be making monsters like crazy right now." I said. Mason shot and explosive hook at a group. They all exploded and flew into other monsters.

"It's no use J. We are going to have to get inside." Mason said. I looked around and saw he was right. It looked as if we had almost made on progress. I grit my teeth and thought.

"Alright. Emma, see if you can clear is a path to the door." I pointed to the big red door with spikes lined across it. "Conner, you'll be the one to get the door open." Conner nodded and readied his bow. "The rest of us will keep fighting and back you guys up." I finished saying. Everyone looked at me with keen eyes. Everything seemed to stop, and it went silent as we all looked at each other.
