Chapter 4
Huey's Trivial Trial
The mysterious voice turned into a physical form. He was explaining the rules. The rules were that they can do anything they want while the other person is answering the question. They play until one of them gets a wrong answer. Huey understood these rules and was ready to play. Another mysterious voice said the first question.
"Which continent holds the country Egypt?" The mysterious voice asked. Huey answered.
"Africa!" Huey said. Huey was correct and then heard a ringing noise in his ear. He didn't mind it that much because it wasn't that loud.
"Did I forget to mention that every time you get a question right, a ringing noise starts to play in your ears." The mysterious man said.
"Not at all!" Huey said sarcastically. The other voice, claiming to be the host, read the next question.
"What is carbon?" The host asked. Huey heard whispers from all around him. He closed his ears to block out the noise. The man answered correctly. Huey didn't know how he could concentrate with all that noise. The host asked Huey another question which he got correct. The ringing started playing in his ears again, but this time it was louder.
"It plays louder everytime you get a question right." The man said. This went on for a few more rounds until Huey figured out what was going on. The whispers were telling the other guy the answers. Huey answered another question correctly, but this time he could take the noise. He tried to cover his ears the best he could. As the man was answering his question, Huey accidentally backed up into a bookshelf and knocked over a book. The book fell to the ground making all the whispers go away. The ringing stopped and Huey didn't hear any whispering anymore. The man still answered the question correctly, but now Huey knows how to win. Huey was asked his question and he got it correct as always. Huey was kneeling in agony from the ringing.
"No one has ever lasted this long before, you should feel proud to have been defeated by a worthy opponent." The man said. The host asked the man his question.
"What type of fruit is a banana?" The host asked. Before the whispers started, Huey knocked over an entire bookshelf. The whispers hissed and then stopped whispering. The man didn't know how to answer the question.
"What's the matter?" Huey asked grinning. "Did you lose your answer key?" The man then answered the question.
"A vegetable!" The man said.
"That is incorrect." The host said. "The question now goes to the challenged." Huey then answered the question.
"It's a berry!" Huey said. The man laughed at Huey's answer.
"A banana isn't a berry!" The man said. The host paused for a second.
"That is correct, the challenged wins!" The host said. The man started to collapse. It tore apart as Huey ran to the now open door. He ran to the escalators but before he got there he heard a loud ringing in his ears. He screamed as he fell to the floor and passed out. He started to have a dream like Louie had. It was about the Spear of Selene. It wasn't a voice that he knew, but the female voice explained the dangers of the spear.
"Scrooge, you have to understand how dangerous this is!" The female voice said. Huey was upset that he couldn't see anything.
"It's not dangerous!" Scrooge said in his Scottish accent.
"It wiped out a whole civilization, it destroyed dozens of homes, yet you still think it's not dangerous!" The voice yelled.
"There ain't nothing dangerous about a dumb old spear Del..." Was all Scrooge could say before Huey woke up. He sat next to the escalators. He started looking at an arcade game. He dug in his pocket and found 4 quarters. He started thinking it would be a fun idea to play while he waits.
Dewey started racing the other player in his motorcycle. Once he passed the player, he noticed a glowing beam coming from the back of his motorcycle. As he turned, the player disappeared. There were bold words that floated above him saying he won. He was wondering what happened to the other guy.
"Ready, Player One." The gaming announcer said. Dewey didn't think about what happened to the player. All he thought about was the next game.
"This virtual reality stuff is awesome!" Dewey said pounding the air. The game announcer transported him into another game. Instead of a battle suit, he was now wearing a blue gi. He knew that he was in a fighting game. His opponent then came out. He was a ten foot tall, muscular, six armed monster.
"Ready, Player Two!" The announcer said. The player didn't say anything. All he did was put his finger to his neck and slid it across to threaten Dewey.
"It's on!" Dewey said getting in a fighting position.
