(Oh man i need to stop sleeping in until 10:30))

"Hey! Nice to meet you. Jackson, right?" Akurle smiled warmly, but it was ruined because of her dark appearance.

"I'm Akurle, you can call me Ak if you want. And that cat over there is Mr. Buttons. He's... um, doing something right now, so don't bother him." Akurle said. (also, akurle is pronounced ay-curly)

Mr. Buttons stopped chanting. The small stone block that he had been sitting next to was glowing faintly, and a blue glowing design appeared on the top. Mr. Buttons seemed more nervous than excited, and he looked a bit guilty as well.

"Buttons, what's wrong?" Akurle asked, running over to him.

"I'm fine." He snarled. "Get back."

Akurle nodded and stepped back. Mr. Buttons was defenitely acting weird.

Suddenly, the whole place shuddered. Mr. Buttons stepped back. Cracks appeared all over the temple walls. Suddenly, the top of the temple exploded, raining rubble everywhere. The blast almost knocked Akurle off her feet. Akurle heard snarling behind her and turned around. Thousands of monsters had come out of the forest and now surrounded them. Lightning flashed through the sky, even though it wasn't raining.

"Mr. Buttons! What did you do!?" She called. Mr. Buttons didn't even flinch. He was gazing intently on the top of the temple, where a huge hole had appeared. Suddenly, an enormous creature climbed out and roared into the night sky. The roar was the loudest thing she had ever heard. The ground seemed to shake, and the roar echoed several times.

The huge creature jumped down and landed in front of Mr. Buttons. He stood on two legs, and had the head of a snake with four curved horns on its head. He had muscled arms with a long spike on each elbo, and hands that were vaguely dragon-like, with five fingers and sharp claws on each finger. He had dinosaur legs and feet, with a spike on each heel. He also had a long, thick tail with spikes on each side at the tip, alike to a stegosaurus. He had thick blue plates on its belly, and purple spikes going down its back. His body was black, and his horns were purple. His eyes were bright blue, almost white.

"Ah, finally free from my prison! You did well, Mr. Buttons." He said in a deep, booming voice that echoed through the air.

Buttons growled quietly. "Just open the portal."

"Fine, then. But why so fast? Don't you want to tell your friend how you have been doing things behind their backs?" He sneered.

Akurle snarled and stepped away from Mr. Buttons. "What is he talking about? What have you been doing?" She growled.

Mr. Buttons lowered his head. "It doesn't matter now. Just open the portal!"

The creature chuckled. "Fine, if you won't tell them, then I will. Your adorable little friend here has been trying to free me from my eternal prison. I have been visiting him in dreams, or in the form of another creature. You see, I am the king of this island, the creatures fear me and obey me. I speak through them. I have many names, but I prefer to be called The Dark Lord."

Akurle snarled again and braced herself to attack.

"Not so fast now! Don't you want to know how else your 'friend' has been betraying you? He wanted to escape this island just as much as you do, maybe even more! He asked for my help, since I can easily open a portal when the moons align. In return, he frees me from my prison so I can rule the forest again and do whatever I please. The design on the portal frame told of a spell that would weaken my bonds. That way, I could easily break out. And the hidden library and cave belonged to the annoying pest who imprisoned me, and then he left me to die in here and escaped the island! Annoying, right? But now I am free, and in return, I give your little friend his ride home." The Dark Lord stood up taller and smiled, reavealing snake-like fangs.

Akurle turned on Mr. Buttons. "How could you?! I trusted you! And you turned your back on us just so you could go home! What about us, huh? Are your royal duties more important than living beings?!"

"N-no... no! I told the Dark Lord to make a portal for all of us!"

The Dark Lord laughed. "You ridiculous little kitten! You said you wanted a portal just for yourself!"

"Yeah, that was before they came!" He guestured to everyone behind him. "Then I told you to make a portal for all of us."

The Dark Lord shook his head with fake sympathy. "You can't just change the deal. It is what it is, you don't keep changing it. Now, your ride home." The Dark Lord said a spell and another portal appeared, similar to the other one. This one had different designs on it.

Mr. Buttons glanced at the portal and took a step toward it. Then he stopped.

"Go on, you selfish jerk." Akurle muttered. She was hurt that Mr. Buttons had betrayed them, that he was working behind their backs the whole time. Now he was going to leave them all behind, and continue his royal duties like nothing happened, ordering his servants around and lounging in a throne all day.

"No."

Akurle flinched. "Why not? You did all this work, betraying us and all that. Your wasting your chance." Akurle hissed, but she surprised herself that she wasn't attacking. What was the point, anyway?

"No. I'm not leaving without you. It's unfair." He said.

The Dark Lord snorted. "Life is never fair, kitten. Now leave."

"I said, NO!"

The Dark Lord flexed his claws. "Fine. You wasted your chance. Whoever stays, dies." Then he attacked.
