BANG!
“NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!” Mika yelled.
...

“Eh?” Bingo uttered.
“No, please, no! Please don’t shoot me!” Arii pleaded. Surprisingly she was still alive after Bingo pulled the trigger of his pistol.
“What… what happened?” Lumine wondered.
“AAHH! DARN IT!” Bingo screamed. “It’s just the Impact Bullet this time!”
Arii is still shivering on the ground - frightened by the sound of the last pistol shot.
Bingo paused and sighed. “You’re a lucky girl! But don’t worry, this next bullet will surely kill you now,” he said as he aimed his pistol at Arii again.
Arii covered her body with her arms.
“No! Please! Stop it already! Let her go!” Rigor screamed.
“SHUT THE F*CK UP!” Bingo shouted back. He aimed
“What more do you want!?” Virgo shouted. Bingo walked closer to Virgo. “Relax girl, we’ll just play an exciting game,” he said. Then, he dragged the dazed Virgo to the base of the dented tree. “Don’t you dare move there!” Bingo threatened Virgo. “F*ck you!” “Tch! You’re one disrespectful lady!” Bingo said back. He kicked Virgo on her stomach. The kick made Virgo curl down and spit liquid from her mouth. “Okay, on to the next one,” Bingo mumbled. Then, he walked towards Mario. Mario is trying to fight back but it was useless because he was still blind and couldn't see Bingo. Bingo punched Mario on his stomach - dropping him to the ground again. He proceeds to drag Mario and place him beside the still-ailing Virgo. Next, he went to Lumine. “What are you doing!? Please don’t hurt us!” Lumine uttered when Bingo tried to grab her arm. Lumine tried to pull back her arm. When Lumine pulled her arm, Bingo was caught off guard and was carried over by the force. He tripped over and lan
Bingo moved closer to Mika’s group. Tension and fear filled the aura of Mika and her friends.“But… before we start, I need you to form a horizontal line in front of me,” Bingo instructed.Mika and her friends hesitated at first.“Come on, do you want me to end this, or nah?” Bingo asked.Without a choice, Mika and her friends formed a line in front of Bingo. In Bingo’s point of view, the order from right to left is as follows: Mario, Lumine, Virgo, Rigor, Raft, Mika, Frenz, and then Marco.“Good-goooood!” Bingo expressed. “Now, let me explain the game we’re going to play.The group nervously listened.Bingo starts explaining. “You see this gun?” he asked while showing his special pistol. Then, he pointed his pistol upward and pulled the trigger 7
“AAAAHHHHH!!!” Lumine screamed.After that, Lumine was left unscathed. It’s the Impact Bullet this time. Lumine is slightly away from the gun so the impact didn’t do anything to her.“Ohohoho! Lucky-lucky!” Bingo commented. “Well… let’s wish that you don’t have to repeat a turn.,” he said to Lumine.“Wha… what?” Lumine asked with a trembling voice and a rapid breath.Bingo just responded with a grin.“Okay, next!” Bingo shouted. Then, he pointed his pistol at the unconscious Arii who was lying on the ground beside Lumine.“What!? But she’s still passed out!” Rigor protested.“Why? Did I say she’s exempted from the game?” Bingo responded.“You’re out of your min
“Well… Even if I say that the phone landed face-up and Mika will take a bullet, the other two remaining turns will still be a 50-50, so…. she’ll do a dare!” Mika took a glance at Mario and whispered, “Thank you!” Mario smiled and nodded at Mika. Then, he took a peek at the smartphone on his lap again - which legitimately landed with the screen facing upwards. Mario quickly grabbed the phone and gave it back to Bingo so Bingo won’t find out the true result. Bingo checked the Age in his UI. “7 hours, 43 minutes. I think you already know when to come back,” he said. Mika nodded. She immediately stood up. “Mika, will you be okay?” Lumine asks out of concern. Mika responded with a nod. “But… your wound,” Lumine pointed out. “I’ll be fine. The pain is not that bad anymore. Better than getting
Back on the location of Bingo and Mika’s friends, Bingo is still teasing the already panicking Frenz. “I guess your friend abandoned you for good,” he said with a grin. “Nooo!! Mika wouldn’t do that!!!!” Frenz clamored. He cried louder. Bingo opened his UI and show it to Frenz, “But look, she only has two minutes left. I don’t think she will come back,” Bingo’s continuous teasing. “NO! NO! NOOOOO!!!! I DON’T WANT TO DIE YET!!!!” Frenz screamed. “Relax! We still don’t know your fate yet,” Bingo replied. Then, he started aiming his gun at Frenz. Frenz’s body is shaking terribly; he is deeply terrified. “Time is almost up!” Bingo informed. Suddenly, Bingo saw something ahead of his vision. He noticed some movements coming from the shadows of the woods. “Wait… I think she’ll have a buzzer-be
Orixa was able to return to Mika and the others’ location. “Where… where are the others?” Lumine asked Orixa when she saw that she returned alone. “The smoke subsided; I couldn’t evacuate them,” Orixa replied. “Who are the others left there?” Frenz asked. “Mario, Raft… another unconscious lady, and another man who seems to already pass away,” Orixa answered. “I think she’s referring to Arii and Kuya Rigor,” Mika said. Then, “Kuya Rigor…” she mumbled with a sad tone. “It’s very unfortunate what happened to him,” Lumine said. “Yup. I wonder what will be Arii’s reaction when she wakes up and finds out that he’s killed. Might be really depressing for her,” Frenz added. “By the way. How about them? Is it safe to leave them there? What should we do now?” Mika asked. “Don’t worry! I used a spell to encase them in a protective crystal barrier. As long as the spell is in effect, they couldn’t be hurt.” “But why leave them there if you used a protective spell on them?” Frenz asked. “T
“I’ll do it!” Lumine volunteered. “Lu…Lumine?... Are you sure?” Mika asked. “Uh-hmm,” Lumine’s decisive reply. “Hey… hey…. If she’s going, I’ll also be going,” Virgo said. “Uhm?...” Frenz mumbled. “Aren’t you going too, Frenz?” Virgo asked. “Uhm… I don’t know… I’m too tired for that… I don’t think I can…” “You’re just scared!” Virgo interrupted. “I’ll go too,” Marco volunteered. “I think four is too many. It will be hard to look after all of you if Bingo does something unexpected,” Yufa said. Mika agreed to Yufa. “Uh-huh. And you’re still hurt Marco. The wound in your leg isn’t completely healed yet.” “You also have a wound,” Marco pointed out. “It’s fine now. The Anahata healed it, somehow. The p
*Trigger Warning!* “What is she doing?” Mika asked Mario. “Alluring Dance; a Talent Skill of Blade Dancers like Orixa. They do a captivating dance to hypnotize everyone that is watching them,” Mario explained. “It’s a very elegant move right, Mika?” Mika didn’t respond. So, Mario looked at Mika. “Mika?” “It’s so fascinating… Beautiful….” Mika mumbled as she was hypnotized by the dance. “So… pretty… I want her to be mine…” Virgo mumbled. She was also charmed by the Alluring Dance. “What do you think you’re doing!?” Bingo uttered when he saw Orixa dancing. “You think you can just…” Orixa successfully captivated Bingo. “Charming… wonderful….” Bingo mumbled. When Orixa saw that Bingo was already hypnotized. She quickly used Graceful Slide to attack Bingo. Orixa kicked Bingo straight to his face and punched him to his face. Next, Orixa tried to disarm Bingo; she was able to kick Bingo’s pistol away from him. The pistol dropped on the ground nearby. Bingo snapped out of the effec

“Are… Are you sure you want me to stay here?” “Yep! Don’t worry, Mr… erm… Papa! While you’re still undergoing Lumine’s special medication, you can stay here in the camp,” Arii answered the worried Papa. “But - But… What if this weapon will control me again? What if I go nuts again!?” Papa worriedly asked. “Don’t worry, Sir. We’ll do everything we can to contain you if that happens,” Orixa answered. “While we’re still finding a way to remove that Scythe for you, we can assure you that you’ll be safe in our camp.” “O-okay!” “Uhm… Mr. Papa. We learned what happened to you and your family. We’re sincerely sorry for your loss. But, uhm… you know, our Little Tommy also lost his family. Maybe it may help both of you if you were to act as his father and take care of him,” Arii said. Arii’s words put a smile on Papa’s face. “Su - sure! Where is he?” he answered. “He’s inside his room. You want to visit him?” Orixa asked. Papa nodded his head. Moments later, “Hey, Tom - Tom. Somebody w
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
“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
“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
“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
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
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
“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
