Suddenly everyone wanted to learn how to open it (well everyone except for the girls)
Looks at Theo with a pleading face. Theo chuckles and steps up to teach them knowing he can't handle that much people
"Alright alright I'll help"
When Theo came the girls finally said to teach them too. After sometime everyone had learned how to open the system and were chatting among each other. Aqua saw this and called over Theo, valt, clay and Abu to corner. Leading them to the kitchen by using the systems as a light source.
"Aqua? Is something wrong?" Theo asked
Once they were in aqua turned around to them and said.
"Look.. The world has changed or rather... Nevermind... Listen from now on all of you listen to only me and no one else"
Huh why is that? Valt said in confusion
"Well... Just trust me okay...? The monsters will be asleep in the night... Well... Most will be at least.."
There was an awkward silence that followed after aqua finished talking. Suddenly clay broke the silence
"So.... What do we do..? We can't stay like this.. There's only food so much food and water in here.."
Aqua immediately told them that they won't be in here for long, and they only need to wait until midnight for the monsters to sleep. And also told them something very important.
"You guys remember the tutorial level right? The dream?"
They nodded
"Well... This is a level too.. Its Different from the tutorial.. In this level there are four stages... "
"Stages?" Abu asked confused
"yes.. We are currently on stage one 'Giganticore'.. The next Stage will be different and a bit harder.. "
"But then, how do we finish the stages?" Theo asked
"That's what I was getting to.. The way to beat the stages is to find a very bright glowing orbs known as the 'stage orbs' and take it from a shrine.. We must keep the orbs safe with us until we gather all of them and--"
Aqua gets cut off by his friend Ace. Ace told them that the others have found someone hiding near the backdoor. A grin appears on aquas face before he masks it with his playful demeanor.
"Oh nice! Let's go see them"
On the way there aqua grabs a knife from the kitchen counter and hides it behind his back. When they meet up with the others, they see that an old man with a burly mustash and beard. Theo went forward to to 'hi' but aqua pulled him back and leaned towards the old man with the knife pointed to him that started glowing a black color.
"What up old man? Its finally good to see you after a long time"
Aqua said with a crazed look and eyes glowing through his hair.
The man took a step back while keeping his hands slightly up in submission.
"Whoa whoa, calm down child... I don't even know you"
Theo shouts at aqua and asks if he is crazy.
Aqua leans in the old mans ear and whispered
"Do something I don't like and your head will be my dinner..." Aqua's voice chilling as he said that
Aqua pats the old mans shoulder and quickly returns to his playful character.
"Sorry guys.. Had to make sure that he doesn't USE US for his benefit" aqua said while smiling.
"You still didnt have to say it while holding a knife.." Valt said crossing his arms
Aqua quickly dismisses his thought by mentioning food. The others suddenly felt hungry. Clay grins slightly in the background. Theo grabbed aqua shoulder and asked him.
"When do we find the orbs?"
Aqua smirks and says "Mid night"
Suddenly there was loud banging on the shutters that made everyone jump. A cry for help from a women was also heard. Theo quickly tried to open the shutters but aqua stopped him by placing one arm on Theo's hand and the other gesturing everyone to stay quiet.
Theo looks at aqua in confusion
"What?" He asks
Aqua walks closer to the shutter and slightly turned his head around.
Thegame... Has started
