As we entered the portal we were falling and falling and I watched as one by one as my classmates horrifically disintegrated into thin air until only I remained. So say I was horrified at seeing my friends die would be an understatement. I was nearly sobbing. My cries were cut out as Eventually with a loud thud I hit something and since it was dark I couldn't see what it was. But it felt kind of hollow and it was wide. It must've been a bridge or something. Looking off way and far into the distance I could just barely make out a glowing blue light. And where there is light there is hope so with nothing else to do, I walked towards the light. Finally, after what felt like hours, I managed to reach the light and I realized it wasn't really a light at all but a ball of lightning. The lightning illuminated the ground and allowed. Me to see that the floor was bamboo which struck me as rather odd.
The ball glowed and crackled with extreme power. I felt like just lightly tapping it would incinerate me instantly. The ball seemed to be chained by a bunch of metal chains covering it. And right in the middle where all the chains met was a keyhole. I don't know why but I felt like I needed to find a key I felt like I needed to free the lightning. Suddenly a hand touched me from behind. I turned around and saw me! Well it was more like a copy of me, but he was very clearly way different. For starters he had dark black eyes, and he was wearing knight armor that covered his entire body except for his head.
He had a key necklace which obviously was the key I needed to unlock the lightning which for some reason I felt attracted to. My clone looked at me looking at his necklace and immediately punched me in face! I stumbled and fell back. Clone Mark smiled and kicked me in the ribs. I grabbed his necklace and pulled him into me with all my might. Clone Mark tried to punch me again but I blocked his attack and pushed him away. I took the necklace from him and ran to the lightning. I put the key in the keyhole but before I could turn it, A giant, wet tongue wrapped around me from behind and lifted me into the air. I let Out a scream and tried freeing myself but it was no use. I looked at where the tongue was coming from and to no suprise it was Clone Mark who now had rows and rows of pointy sharp teeth. I put my hands together and using all my strength slammed them into the tongue making a gross wet sound. Clone Mark staggered back and slammed me into the ground three times before releasing me. Pain soared all

throughout my body, and as I looked at the bamboo floor I had an idea. Clone Mark punched me in the face "Hey idiot!", I shouted at clone Mark, "that the best you got?" Clone Mark looked at me with hate filled eyes before smiling showing his jagged and sharp teeth. Clone Mark's tongue launched out at me but it must've been a lot weaker from me punching it since it was just a hare's breath too slow and I was able to move out of the way and the tongue broke through the ground and got stuck in the bamboo. Clone Mark's eyes darted around frantically looking for a way to set himself free.
With my clone distracted, I walked over to the ball of lightning. I grabbed the key and turned it. Suddenly, to my shock and suprise, The ball latched itself onto my body and started inserting itself into my skin. The second the lightning touched me Lightning came from every direction. Clone Mark looked at me with fear in his eyes before beams of lightning struck him from every single angle until eventually he exploded! My eyes became clouded with lightning and I couldn't see anything but lightning. Pure, crackling, and deadly lightning. I was completely inveloped by lighting until eventually...I woke up.
