Chapter 4: Elvira & Apathetic Critic (Elvira's Narrative)
"YAHOO!" I excitedly said as I slided down the rails on a green and black hover board. I dodge a flying razor sharp red disk, thrown by a female Flamel Shona. "YOU'RE DEAD VENTUS!"
"What are you talking about? I'm still breathing Shona!" I grab green and black disk as I took my aim. The moment I ride up the rails upside down within the arena orb. I threw it at her as it curved to slice through their gem. "Tch, game over Shona." I said as I ride back down to ground level and exit out the arena as she turn to code.
Surprisingly when I walked out, Apathetic Critic was waiting outside for me. How can I tell? Well his eyes aren't blue they're green. When they're green it means Dean is awake. "Sup man!" I said as I run up and hugged him.
"Elvira, you know this makes me uncomfortable." He said as I took a step back.
"Oh yeah I forgot." I said still with a smile.
"I highly doubt it. You hungry?"
"Heck yeah!"
Dean and I walked into a restaurant to get some pizza. We had to get two boxes though because I eat the most out of the two of us. We sat on the edge on top of a clock tower so we can see all of Game Over Prison. "So how's things with Mark?" I asked him.
"He's fine after Doug had a chat with him."
"So what happened to him?"
"Well after trying to break out of Blue Rose Prison he gotten caught and been put under Standby."
"Huh, plain and simple."
I took up a slice and chomp away on its deliciousness. "Seriously, Elvira." said Dean, "Why do you eat so much?"
"I don't know, I'm just really hungry most of the time. Surprisingly I don't gain much weight in the process though. I guess it's because I'm always moving my body.
"So who was that Ventus Tempesta chick?"
"Sorry?"
"You know that teenage girl you had to defeat in the test?"
"Oh, it was Jason's daughter Bree. You've met her before."
"Seriously? Huh, no wonder why Doug was hesitating."
"He shouldn't have. He knows our weapons can release them. He could've gotten us both in trouble."
"Don't be too hard on him, Dean." I said, "It's normal for him to have that kind of reaction."
"But when it comes to fighting someone we know he thinks they won't be alive afterwards! Which is why I have to take over and finish the job!"
I place a hand on his arm and said, "Relax Dean, your Nostalgia Critic is showing." He rolled his eyes and said, "Ha ha. Very funny, Elvira."
"You know I am, Dork."
"Dick."
"You wish."
"You mean you wish."
"Hey, no repeats!"
I put an arm around him and gave him a noogie. "Hey! Come on Elvira!"
"Come on say it!"
"Never!"
"Say it! Or else I'll never let go!"
"Fine have fun having raw knuckles!"
He slipped out of my hold. I got him to at least smile. It's hard to get him to even make a small smile because he doesn't really care much about feelings. The words I was trying to get him to say was that I'm his best friend in the world. He always refuses because he doesn't want to admit he can feel. I mean he is the Apathetic Critic and all but it's okay to show caring emotions once in a while.
Dean said, "So any news from Vega?"
"Nope, you know she must be working on something in this place. I don't see her around as much as I normally do. But hey, whatever the General wants us to do we're there to do it."
"Right. Question."
"Yeah?"
"Was she always apathetic? Like me?"
"Neh, it's kind of hard to say that she didn't care much about anything else. She's always serious but never cold hearted."
"Huh, no offense but during these past few weeks she hasn't shown much emotion. It's almost like there's something annoying her about this place. Like she's angry about something."
He's right about that. It does seem like there's something bothering her. We know that Game Over Prison must be taken down but she didn't make it sound like it was going to be difficult. So what else could it be?
"Anyway, Elvira." said Dean standing up, "It's getting late. I better get Doug to bed."
"What?! Dean we're gamers! Gamers are supposed to stay up late! It's in our DNA!"
"Maybe in ours but not Doug's. This body can only stay up for so long it's bound to give out. Anyway I'll walk you back to your quarters. Let's get going."
"Oh alright."
... (Vega's Narrative)
As I walk around in the Flamel Shona Division. I'm looking for one particular person from this Division. I was hoping I could find him with ease but some Flamel Shonas are too hot headed to let me pass. The blonde male Flamel Shona asked me, "What the hell are you doing here, Aqua Scylla?"
"I came here to look for James Rolfe. He's also known as the AVGN. Seen him around?"
"Never heard of him. So get the fuck out of our Division."
"Sorry but I can't. I came in to seek James Rolfe. I will not leave without him."
"If you don't leave I'll kill you and take your Scores!" He summoned a red and black sword
"If you insist." I summon my own blue and black sword.
When he strike first I use a counterattack to finish him off. When he turned into code everyone was silent and feared me. "Does anyone know where James Rolfe is?!" I shouted, "Where is the Angry Video Game Nerd?!"
"He's here! He's here!" I heard other Flamel Shonas shouting as two of them drag him out of hiding.
"Let me go you fucking assholes!" he shouted.
"Calm down." I said, "I'm not here to kill you." I let my weapon disappear.
When he shrug off from their hold he said, "Then what the hell do you want from me?"
"It's best that you come with me so I can explain."
