“Hello, Raft!” Hunter greeted as they appear out of nowhere. With him is Keeta who is carrying the half-conscious Mario. Raft and the others stand on their guards. Keeta and Hunter saw Hierre, Russia, and Billy. “Oooh! What a coincidence! I didn’t know that your group is affiliated with my Best Buddy, Raft,” Hunter said to Hierre’s group. Hierre didn’t reply. They remained cautious as they knew the capabilities of the two players in front of them. “Hunter, you snake! What are you doing here!? What did you do to my friends!?” Raft shouted. Hunter didn’t answer Raft’s question. He stared at Raft from head to toe while smiling like a maniac. “You’re a big boy now, Raft! Look how much you’ve grown!” “I don’t care! What did you do to my friends!? Where are they!? Where is Lumine!?” “Keehihihi… Before I answer your questions, can we first admire the Security System of your camp? Very impressive, Raft! As expected from the Boy Genius!... However, as you can see, we just went past your
“Friends!?” Orixa’s reaction. After a short realization, “You bastards! What did you do to them!?” “You’ll meet them shortly,” Minerva replied. “Let go of me!” Orixa uttered as she keeps on struggling. Minerva, together with Coco, Skald, and Lorelei forced Orixa to walk towards the Tavern’s sidewall. “Aah! Why didn’t we think of this?” Orixa uttered after chuckling scornfully. “Let me guess? One of the rooms in the Corridor leads to your real Base?” Coco didn’t answer. Instead, she looked back to the crowd and yelled, “Every one of you here, get out of this Tavern! Now!” “Eh!? But we’re still celebrating here!” one of the customers demanded. “I SAID… I WANT EVERYONE OUT!” Coco repeated. But now, the tone is more intense and scary. Every irrelevant customer exited the Tavern. They left with disappointed faces. After the crowd left the Tavern, Coco proceeded in opening a Special Portal on the wall. From her pocket, she pulled four Talismans. The Talismans look like flat pieces
Ariilily: But how can we help them with just the three of us? Nikko: I have a plan. Mika: Really? That’s great. What should we do? Nikko: Go to that man over there.} Nikko is referring to Leo. {Mika: But why? Nikko: I heard that he has the weapons of our friends inside his Utility Bag. Mika: You’re right. I heard it too. But what should we do after that? Our friends are still bound by those magic chains. Nikko: I can dispel those chains. Mika: You can do that? Nikko: Yes. Mika: Nice! Nikko: Go there now. Don’t take action until I give the signal, okay? Mika: Ok. Nikko: Go!} The three started moving. Mika went towards the direction where Leo is standing. Arii followed Mika. Seeing that his captured friends are clustered together in one small area, Nikko lifted his arm and pointed his sword at that area. He stayed like that for a few seconds. Then, “Done,” he uttered in his mind. He put away his sword and rushed in a specific direction. Mika and Arii have now reached Le
The gusts of Violent Winds completely enveloped and protected Yufa like a body barrier. She assumed a Charging Stance again to prepare another Move.Orixa quickly slides towards Yufa in an attempt to disrupt the Move. But when she moved closer, she felt the Violent Winds pushing her away. Still, she tried to strike Yufa, but her attack was blocked by the Violent Winds.Yufa completed her Charging Phase. Then,“Auster’s Blade!!”She forcefully slashed her polearm in a diagonal motion. A thick and powerful Wind Blade gushed out from her weapon.Orixa was able to dodge the Wind Blade, but the explosive winds produced by the Move pushed her away. She stumbled and rolled to the wet ground, but she recovered back to her feet immediately.“Those protective winds swirling around her are very troublesome. I need to strike faster than the winds so my attacks will pass through,” Orixa uttered in her mind. She prepared to attack once again. In a blink of an eye, she moved and went past Yufa.“Rip
“Uhh… why am I caught up by Coco’s Spell? Why am I also transported here? *cough*” “It’s because you didn’t move away, you idiot,” Minerva answered Skald. “I’m also here too,” the kid that guarded Nikko said. Minerva sighed at the sight of the kid. All of them were transported in one of Coco’s Controlled Dimensions to fight the lone Nikko. The theme in this controlled Dimension is a vast flatland. “Move away, you two. I already defeated this guy. I’ll make it quick this time,” Minerva confidently uttered as she approaches Nikko. “Don’t make this hard for you. Admit defeat and I’ll consider taking you out of here unharmed,” Minerva proudly demanded Nikko. “...” “Stubborn, aren’t you? Well… it couldn’t be helped, I’ll just put you down like the last time we clashed together,” Minerva stated as she drew her sword and pointed it at Nikko. She also used her Magic Amulet to create her Icicle Arm. Minerva starts to chant a Spell, “Icicle Spear!” An Ice Spear formed in front of her. A
“Bolt!? Why are you here!?” Spike uttered. “Everyone, please stop! This is not the right thing to do!” Bolt shouted to the armed kids. “Go away, Bolt! You already betrayed our group, you don’t belong here anymore!” “Hey… Spike. I know that they got Auntie. But these people came to help us!” Spike was moved by what Bolt said. “...What?” “Hey! Don’t listen to that kid!” Aize scolded Spike. Spike is torn by his indecisiveness. “These people can help us, Spike. Come on, do the right thing and stop listening to that man. They’re just using us as their weapons.” After saying these words, Bolt is starting to persuade Spike and the other kids. They lowered their weapons. “Look! They’re about to defeat them. Everything will change if you don’t follow Aize’s orders,” Bolt’s continuous persuasion. Spike bowed down in silence. Later on, “...... You’re right,” he said as he dropped his weapon. The other kids did the same. Seeing the other kids’ decision, Bolt can’t help but let out a gl
“Giiiiiirl!!!” Frenz yelled as he came to approach Mika. “Girl, I like your new powers,” he complimented.Mika didn’t respond. She just stared at Frenz awkwardly.“Uhm… Mika? Hellooooo? Are you okay?”Suddenly, tears start rolling from Mika’s eyes. She suddenly hugged Frenz. “Freeeenz! I’m sorry! I didn’t know you were suffering that much!” she sobbed.Frenz is confused by the situation. “Uhm… what’s happening?”Arii also came. “Mikaaa! You’re so cool right now!”Mika also stared at Arii. After a few seconds, “Ariiiii! Sorry if I didn’t know! I just want to hug you now!” Mika cried as she hugs Arii.The others came too.“You guys! Why didn’t you tell me that you’re feeling that way? I feel like a bad friend now,” Mika uttered as she hugged each of her friends.Everyone is puzzled by Mika’s behavior.“What’s happening to her?” Marco asked.“Is this some side effect of her powers?” Mario hunched.“I don’t know…” Orixa replied. “But that’s not important right now. We still have an enemy
The players arrived at the Base’s Main Laboratory.The laboratory is quite vast and well-structured for just a recently-built facility. Lots of machines and apparatus can be found inside the lab.Lumine and Tusha are in the laboratory.“Raft! Everyone!” Lumine greeted her friends.“Lumine! Arii said that you went with them voluntarily. We thought you already betrayed us *cough*,” Virgo said.“No! I would never!” Lumine answered.Arii bowed in shame. “Sorry if I misunderstood what happened, guys,” she apologized.“No, it’s okay Arii. It’s also my fault that I left without a proper explanation. I left you to worry,” Lumine said.“So… There must be a deeper reason why you’re here…” Raft uttered.“Actually… there is,” Lumine answered as she looked at Tusha.“Oh - yeah! I remember you said that Tusha is a BBC,” Frenz said.Everyone is confused. “BBC!?” they uttered in unison.“The robot thing?” Frenz added.“It’s NPC, Frenz,” Arii corrected.Mario is giggling at the corner. “BBC - the heck
