Episode 5: Matango's Wraith

Ep5 of Matango (2020) is about how Lucas got infected and The gang finally got back together in the end.

Plot (Story)
Logos start to play as Matango’s snarling can be heard in the background. “3 days ago” the words said on the screen as we traveled back in time and a Monarch Osprey Pilot survived the crash and got out safely. [Monarch Osprey Pilot] “Where am I?” He asked himself. As he got up, he could hear growling behind him and saw nothing but mushrooms. He grabbed his gun and made way to find the groups as a quick shadow followed him. He ran and ran some more as something was clearly chasing him! He ran and ran and ran until he noticed a Neo Vinestrangler chasing him above the trees! It roared at the Monarch Pilot as he opened fire and hit some of the bullets in it’s mouth when it opened it and roared at him. Then it pounded him and snarled at him. [Monarch Pilot] “Get off me! Ahhh!” He fired the rest of the bullets when he shoved it in the mouth and killed it off. He gets up and spits at it. [Monarch Pilot] “No one messes with JJ. No body or no thing.” He said to the dead Neo Vinestrangler before he walked away.

“4 Days Later” the words appear on the black screen as we get a view of Tayla’s group, sitting down, bored. [Tayla] “Say Lucas.” [Lucas] “Uh?” [Tayla] “How are you feeling?” [Lucas] “Fine. A little sick but I’ll be fine.” They heard bushes rushing and they looked around, armed. However, it was just a couple of birds and they calmed down for now. [Tayla] “I hate this island!” She threw a bottle on the ground and it broke. [Lucas] “Tayla. Aghhh!” He groaned in pain for a bit and held his stomach. [Barnes] “What’s wrong man?!” [Lucas] “I’m seeing spots but now. I’m seeing my brother talking to me?” He would shed a tear because he missed his brother. Tayla would check the arm that he got bitten on and his arm was covered in mushrooms! Or bumps! Tayla looked at him as he looked back. [Lucas] “I’m infected, am i?” Lucas asked Tayla. She didn’t answer. He knew the answer. Banres didn’t answer as well. [Barnes] “Is there a cure for it?” [Tayla] “I don’t know without any research about these mushroom people.” [Lucas] “True.”

Back with us, I was still reading the notebook given to us as Velma was pacing around. Back and forth. [Me] “Babe. Can you stop pacing back and forth please? Thanks.” [Velma] “Well I’m sorry if I want to get off this damn island!” [Lauren] “Woah Velma!” [Me] “Calm down!” [Ryselle] “Damn island.” [Me] “Sweetie, no.” [Velma] “I knew I shouldn’t come! I was an idiot!” She kicked a rock and it went downhill until it hit something, awakening it. [Velma] “I just-” She grabs my hand and holds it to her chest. [Velma] “I want to be together again. Me, you, and Ryselle. One big happy family.” She was blushing and so was I until [Ryselle] “Uh, guys?” [Me] “Yeah?” A Neo Foetodon appeared and growled at us! [Lauren] “Crap!” She fired at the Neo Foetodon but the bullets would bounce off it’s tough armor. We backed up as the Neo Foetodon came charging at us and missed us as we dodge! The Neo Foetodon struggled to get back up but still got back up as Lauren fired at it, damaging the armor on it. I joined her in the gun fight but the Neo Foetodon kept on coming at us, ignoring the bullets hitting it. However, [JJ] “Ahhhhh!” JJ jumped from the bushes and stabbed Neo Foetodon with a knife and took it down, killing it off. [Me] “Who are you-” Before he could answer, he smoked bomb out of there and away from us. Never seen again. [Lauren] “Who was-” [Me] “I don’t know Lauren. I don’t know.” [Ryselle] “Hey daddy, look!” She pointed at a Neo Brontosaurus herd, peacefullying minding their own business. As we awe at them, the first peaceful creature on this island that would kill us, I think?

Back with Tayla’s group, they begin to walk around until they heard bushes move. They pointed their guns at the bush and it was a single Matango! Barnes pointed his gun at the Matango and fired at it as it roared at them. Matango dodged the bullets and smacked Barnes in the face. [Tayla] “Barnes!” Tayla yelled as Barnes was on his back and near the end of the cliff as Matango was up top of him and roared at him until Lucas pushed him off the cliff, falling to his death. Lucas helped Barnes up and so did Tayla. [Lucas] “Are you ok?” Barnes picks up his gun. [Barnes] “Yeah, I’m fine. Thanks.” They look over the cliff and stare at the beautiful sight they notice. Back with us, we were about to walk towards the Neo Brontosaurus herd and we heard growling behind us. I turned around and there it was. A Neo Venatosaurus! Two in fact. Then above them was Neo Hedorah (LandForm)! As they look down at us and snarl. [Me] “Oh come on!” I said as Neo Hedorah roared and got the Neo Brontosaurus herd attention as they fled away, forming a stampede. We ran into the stampede as the two Neo Venatosaurus followed us as they roared and ran for their lives. We got split up as Velma and Ryselle hid in a ruin until slava dropped on them. They look up and they notice a Neo Venatosaurus snarling at them as they run back in the stampede once more. Back with me, a Neo Venatosaurus tried to take a bite out of me until it got stomped on by a Neo Brontosaurus and Velma and Ryselle caught up with us.

Back with Tayla’s group, they notice the Neo Brontosaurus stampede pasting by under the cliff as they didn’t notice something slithering towards them. It rose up and got their attention. It was a Neo Carnictis! It roared at them and Barnes pointed his gun at it but it bit the gun and threw it to the side as it slithered more towards, snarling. However, [JJ] “Ahhhh!” JJ came and cut the beast’s head off! Killing it off. However, more appeared and rose from the ground and JJ looked at Tayla and the rest. Back with us, there was still one Neo Venatosaurus chasing us left as we couldn’t get away from it until we stopped and zoomed past us and noticed we stopped. It stopped and tried to get us but it was killed off by the Neo Brontosaurus stampede by being crushed as we were out of the stampede and they ran away. Back with Tayla’s group, JJ kicked them off the cliff and they screamed as they had a soft landing by a young Neo Brontosaurus. He let them go and ran back with the herd. Back with JJ, he tried his best to handle the Neo Carnictis that were surrounding them and biting him as he held a bomb in his hand and squeezed it tight. [JJ] “Sadly, this is where I-” He exploded as the explosion killed him and a few Neo Carnictis with him and we notice the explosion. As we ran to the cliff where the explosion was, the bushes in front of us moved and Tayla and the rest came out, noticing us. We were together once more. The End?
