"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105 KJV

"Greninja?" Asked a stranger. I looked at the stranger. It was incineroar. "Harley?" I Asked. "Buddy!" Said Harley. He hugged me. "Too tight!" I said. I kinda chocked. Harley let me go. "Sorry! I didn't even notice i was strong." Said Harley. I giggled. Then I heard a roar. I turned around. It was a dragon stand on 2 feets. And he's the size of a human. And with an armour on. "Is that you, nico?" I Asked. "Yup!" Said Nico. I ran to him. I hugged him. "Where are we?" Asked Nico. "Inside VRchat." I told him. He was surprised. "Oh shit!" Said Nico. "That's why I felt different!" "Exactly!" Said Harley. Then all of a sudden, a knuckle came to us. It was a Russian knuckle. I kicked him. "We're friends with hitler!" Said a Russian Knuckle. I kicked him again. "Shut up!" I told the Russian Knuckle. The Russian knuckle pulled out a tank. "Jesus Christ!" Said Harley. It was massive. Then.... KAPOW!!!!! It fired at us. We dodged. Harley punched that tank with a fist. Boom! The tank exploded. "That was easy." Said Harley. An Russian knuckle ran away through the portal. "After him!" Said Harley. We chased after him. We went through the portal. The portal felt so real. Then we went to a mysterious place. "Where are we?" I Asked. It was abandoned. The signs. The bricks. The windows. Everything. Ruined. There was a sign said, "welcome to Amandaria." "I've never been to this place before." I Said. "Don't you mean everyone?" Asked Harley. The vines was everywhere. The tress were tall. Then we saw a girl. A girl with white hair and red eyes. "Who are you?" I Asked. "I'm Elena!" Said Elena. Elena? I gasped.

The news said it all about Elena's disappearance. "Elena, the one who went to school and was a football player, disappeared last night." Said the news reporter. Everyone was looking for her. But no sight of her. I was her only friend. I was her shield.

*back to September 2, 2018*

I ran to her. I hugged her. "I miss you so much." I Said. "Who are you?" Asked Elena. "Your friend, Phoenix." I told her. She swelled up in tears, she hugged me. "My god." I thought. "I finally found her." "I didn't even notice!" Said Elena. Nico looked at Harley. Harley was crying. "Are you crying?" Asked Nico. "No! There's something in my eyes." Said Harley.

4 minutes later....

We were inside of the abandoned building. The campfire was burning. Me and my friends, including Elena, sat around the campfire. "How long have I been here?" Asked Elena. "About a month maybe." I told her. "A month?!" Said Elena. "Damn it." The feeling in my bones shooked. "The hell?" I thought. "Why do I have this feeling? A knockoff of a spideysense?" KAPOW! The wall broke. Me and Harley were launched to the wall behind us. "What the hell?" Said Harley. Elena was crying. Her right arm was going the wrong way. Including her legs, there backwards. "Elena!" I yelled. Elena kept on crying. "I have to be her shield!" I thought.
