Chapter 9: Dire Situations

iNet was only seconds out of Pl's house when he received a call from someone. It was a number he didn't recognize, but he picked it up anyways.

"Hello?" The voice on the other end was muffled, but he got the message.

"mpohphpm i need mpphhhpmph rice pmphhh" iNet tried to hear more, but couldn't find anything. He started tracking the phone, and immediately went to go find Hug.

On Hug's end, after he had explained to Random what was going on, he went back to Dylan's bar cause why not. After a little bit, iNet had entered the bar as well. Hug recognized him right away, and as iNet sat down, Hug asked a single question.

"So I assume you're a Normie too?" iNet did not directly answer the question, but asked another question.

"Do you know where Pota is?" Hug answered no, and iNet told him of a hunch that he had that Pota was captured somewhere. He showed Hug the phone, and Hug understood. As he finished his drink (or whatever he ordered) he immediately went out of the pub and waited. Soon enough, a huge plant pod formed around Hug, and he disappeared into the earth.

Meanwhile, as Hug left the pub, Pl also entered at that time. She went up to iNet as he was singing like a drunk. She slapped him twice and then asked him to meet her outside. He complied, and even though he had trouble finding his feet, he still made it.

"Soooo what's it you want from meee?" He said in a drunken tone. She quickly showed him the power that she contained, by creating a pink energy and moving a nearby table with a long pulse of it. iNet somehow snapped out of his drunken state and immediately had a mission. He had to find all the Normies and convince them to join him before he did.
