"One tip little man. Run." And Muzzle starts running like the wind. Luckily I still have the gem in my pouch and I start running faster than I have ever run before. Unfortunately it's not enough, and the giant slaps us to the ground with his huge palms. Muzzle pulls out his energy rifle and fires at it's face...and completely misses. The giant grabs Muzzle in one hand and slams him into the ground and knocks him out. He turns towards me and I pick up my ion pistol and...what do you think? I run behind a tree!
Why do giants have to be so strong? I got behind the tree but as soon as I did the giant ripped it out of the ground. I take a couple steps backwards in disbelief, and hold up my pistol. I keep stepping backwards as the giant slowly walks towards me laughing and taunting me in wierd language. I trip over a rock and shoot it in the eye, and when I see what I did...I fire again. I hit it straight in the nipple and it looks like it's pissed now. I fire again, this time aiming for his face, and hitting him in the forehead, he falls to the ground, beaten by a little man.
I go over to Muzzle and shake him to wake him up. He quickdraws his element gun and points it right into my face. After a second he drops it and looks around. When he sees the giant dead on the ground, he looks at me in disbelief, and stands up.
"You did this? How?"
"I fired at it and killed it. I hope it didn't have any family."
"What?I thought you hated d-bees?"
"Hate is such a strong word."
We continue our search and then we see something in a lake that looks suspicious.
"You want to get it?" By the time I say that, Muzzle had already checked all the seals on his armor and hopped in the lake. As Muzzle is checking out that suspicous object, I sit down on a log and take out some trail mix. I hear some rustling and look around, element gun in hand. I don't see anything, so I keep eating. I hear it again. Where is that coming from? Then in my head a voice answered, "don't be afraid, I'm only under your butt, and such a nice one it is."
I stand up and look at the log I was sitting on. I start to notice the outline of...a...mouth. Then an eye opens and the log grinns.
"Why do you look so afraid, it's such a great pleasure to be able to sit on my face and not get bit."
"What are you?"
"Why are you humans so race oriented? Why do you never ask, who are you?"
"Fine. Who are you?"
"I am Hector."
"Hector? How did you get that name?"
"I liked how it sounded so I use it."
"Ok, well why didn't you bite me when you had the chance?"
"Good question. I guess because you had the smell of food on you. May I have some?"
"Sure," I hold the trail mix out to him and he licks it up with a huge green slimy tongue.
"Yummy, that was delicious! Thank you for that generosity, no one has been that kind to me in ages!"
"No problem, just happy to see your happy," I say while trying not to barf while he ate.
"I must give you something for this kindness. Give me one moment." He burrows into the ground and comes back two minutes later, with something in his mouth.
"I found this a day ago. I have no use for it, and it's pretty, so maybe you'd like it." I take it from his mouth and look closely. It has the markings A.S. It's a gem!! Ho, ho, Muzzle going to be pissed! Speak of the devil, here he is coming back onto shore.
"It wasn't it. It was just a round rock in the mud," he says depressingly.
"I know, because I have it." Muzzle's eyes widen and stare at me transfixed, as if he was about to unleash an unholy can of whoop' ass on me. All he could say was, "good for you." He then sat down, and waved his hand in the air, and said, "check it out, see what's on it." I put it in my inventory and the screen pops up with the gem and the description of it, which reads: "Sapphire gem: armor of strength. Gives holder ability to put three, 30ft x 30ft ice patches on any surface."
Then I decided to go the main screen of the inventory and look around a little. I saw the, "current gems in inventory," and, "map of worlds," then I saw another one: "current gem demons and powers." This caught my attention, and I pressed it and I saw my two gems, pressed the yellow one and a picture of a ball of yellow sludge appeared with a description next it reading, "Blotch, power to throw balls of sludge, suffocate opponent inside him, and form blunt objects out of his hands."
"Muzzle, why didn't you tell me about the gem demons?"
"Well, because I didn't want you pulling them out to protect yourself, because then your training wouldn't be as good."
"What training? So far you've just been pulling me all over Earth looking for some gems!"
"You do understand!"
"What? I...uh...oh, screw it, I give up," then Muzzle looks up at me and says, "Let's keep going!" with a big smile on his face and he pulls out a teleportation chip.
"Sure, I guess we can do that." I pull out one of mine. "Where to?"
"How about to that one in South America?" Muzzle says as if he cared where the gem was at.
"I see it. Meet you there."
"No, you'll meet me there, little man." After he says that I teleport away and I'm standing in a dense jungle where mosquito's the size of my hand are buzzing around, and a bird the size of me gets eaten whole by one of the fish in the river.
"This is going to suck, but as long as Muzzle is here, I should be fine." Where is Muzzle? He should have been here by now, it's been more than an instant.
After thirty minutes of waiting, I decided, Muzzle wasn't coming here, and I was the lunch of the wild.
