God danged, this story is lame. Sorry for my blunt honesty, but I couldn't take this crap anymore.

Now, to go from destructive to constructive mode; You need more story — and a more probable one, to say the least. Two people who randomly meet and just out of nowhere becomes best friends bent on the thought of saving the world is not probable. And at least not original. Your story needs less dialog. To be honest, the whole thing smells of being a transcribed comic, just without the graphics.

Furthermore, each chapter is way too short, way too fast paced, the story progresses way too fast, and there is waaaay too little background information given on absolutely everything.

And, really... stuff like "look at all the rats, let's kill them" — Exactly how does these things progress the story? It's... filler crap, at best.

Daniel, there are clowns. 
My guess is that genis123 is pretty young. While say this would be pretty good for a 6-year-old, I would have to agree with Phoenix that even if you're around twelve, this needs a lot of work.

Aside from what Phoenix suggested to you, I would highly advise including detailed descriptions or what is happening the story; what the characters see, feel, hear, feel, and even smell. Just adding those elements will give a greater understanding of the characters and events, making the story that much more enjoyable to the reader.

"I would also suggest trying to avoid the 'play-style' format of dialog until you've at least gotten comfortable with typical prose," typed Striker with a few deft strokes of his fingers. Leaning back in his seat, he then wondered if this paragraph was a sufficient example of what he was trying to convey. "No matter," he thought, "If genis can't understand this, then there's not really much else I can do to help."

Actually, I think this story is great if you see it as a parody of a random RPG. I mean honestly... At first I thought it was a parody of Stone of Balance or 9 Gems. It had me smiling for a while. Maybe the next part will manage to make me laugh.
(On the other hand, if it's supposed to be 'serious', then I think it's really weird, to say the least.)

Perhaps make a DMOD of your story? It may turn out better, and you will still get to tell you idea/story in a way. Just a suggestion to be suggested.
