Continuation

If the post is too long I have inserted breaks at good stopping points so you can just read those.
PART TWO
When we get to the bottom of the cave we notice that there is a very clear line between the section that is covered in gold and the section that is red and emitting red light. We look around the red section and Vanyel finds a button. He presses it. A door appears in the wall and a voice says "ENTER!!!!!"
We enter.
In the chamber is a king in entirely red clothing sitting on a red throne. He introduces himself as the Red King and tells us more about our quest. Essentially he told us that we, as heroes, can travel freely through the realms and so we must follow a map that he gave us to the kingdom of the Green King to get the Green Button from him and plug it into the dowsing rod to find the Shiny Gem Jewel Crystal Emerald Thingy of Power (or something to that effect).
Vanyel, ever the greedy, asks the king for some RedWater (one word) because his water is running out. The king gave us a red bottle but when we looked inside it was empty and golden! The Red King gasped.  "Time is short," he said, "The Gold King comes near. I will give you very special RedWater that cures anything golden. We thanked him and he showed us the way out.
Curious, Vanyel drank some of the RedWater - just a tiny sip. He immediately started glowing red and he tossed some to me. "Drink some," he said, "and follow me." I did what I was told and passed the RedWater to Lukas, who also drank some. We were off like the wind. Skimming across the lakes, we catched up to Vanyel and shouted, "Where are we going?"
"The Green King lives in the sky," answered Vanyel, "We should be approaching the way up in a few-"
Vanyel was cut off when he crashed into an enormous green ladder. Quickly restabilizing the ladder, we started to climb. With the help of the RedWater we reached the top in no time. We came up in the middle of a green throne room.

"Welcome!!!" boomed a king dressed entirely in green who was presumably the Green King. "I have been expecting you. I believe I am to give you the Green Button so that you can get back my Emerald."
We nodded.
"But I will give you so much more!" he exclaimed. "First of all, here is the green button," he said, giving a button to Vanyel, which he promptly attached to the dowsing rod, "and next I would like to tell you a story."
Just to be clear, the cow and the Red King also gave speeches, but I didn't remember theirs. Anyways, here we go:
"Once upon a time, all of us kings lived in our own realms. However, one day the Red King made a most daring proposition: We would combine our powers into a single object, so that we would all be more powerful. The blue king (who lives below the red king) and I agreed and we created the Emerald. However the Gold King, jealous of our power, stole the emerald and used it to create a hugely gigantic and gigantically huge army. The only way to stop it is to return the Emerald back to its rightful owner. That's me. Now I will give you each gifts, in the spirit of a true quest."
"Vanyel!!!! You are very good at crafting."
"Yes, yes I am," answered Vanyel.
"Humble too, I see," said the Green King, giving Vanyel a look, "Anyways, I am presenting to you five of my finest emeralds for you to do whatever you want with."
"Yes!" said Vanyel, "now I can make an emerald bow! All I need is some string and that means: spiders!"

"Or scorpions," said the Green King, "They are crawling all over the Gold King's realm. I assume you have seen them?"
We shook our heads.
"Unnaturally lucky just like true heroes," said the Green King, shaking his head. He reached into his robe and pulled out a long, sleek green whistle. He blew on it and said, "That probably called about five scorpions, which should be more than enough." Gratefully, Vanyel slid down the ladder to kill some scorpions with the Mustache Whip.
Next he turned to me. "Andres," he said, "You are by far the most awesome hero here" (he said this mostly because he was played by me) "and yet you do not have a sword. Take my finest emerald sword and go help Vanyel kill some spiders" I thanked him and slid down the ladder  to meet Vanyel.
Finally, he turned to Lukas. "Death, my old friend, how have you been?" (By the way, I don't think I've mentioned it before, but Lukas was Death, the Dark King, who lived above the green king. We learned this from the cow and the Red king gave his memory back so he no longer has AMNESIA) "I see that lying dormant for five thousand years didn't do anything good on your clothes. Let me give you my finest emerald armor so that you are even more invincible"
Suddenly an Emerald Soldier came up to the king with ten spears running through him and said, "I just took ten spears and I haven't died yet!" Lukas, by instinct, chopped the poor soldier in half with his scythe. "Darn," said the Green King, turning back to Lukas, "He was a good soldier. I remember that once he took ten spears to the stomach and was resilient enough to survive" Then he sighed and felt reminiscent for a while. Suddenly he seemed to snap back into place and he said "Anyways, you'd better get going. Bye!"
Lukas came down as we finished battling the scorpions and Vanyel got a really gruff voice from a nasty sting. Suddenly a gigantic hole opened up beneath us and we fell down, down, down, into the black (well actually red) abyss
