Flash Back:

"You could try and just walk up to the gate and pretend you did not displace the gate." Meru suggested. "Are you sure they are not aggressive as the creatures that attack every time we somebody travel? Isn't there job to make sure nobody gets through the gate? Wouldn't that make them seem a bit in-confident to just let people run freely through the area?" I started to ask the questions that were on my mind. "Nah, they cannot do anything to you until you pass the gates." She assured me. "If you're so sure about that… I guess we will go with your suggestion. Just know that if they do attack before any one of us gets to the gate, I will not hesitate to fight back." I warned her.

End Flash Back:

I displaced the giant gate from afar to make sure the guards did not arouse any suspicion of breaking into the area. I have been breaking and entering into many places lately, haven't I? I thought as I was doing this. I then walked up to the gate with Meru behind me. To my surprise and to what Meru predicted, they guards did not pay attention. We pretended not to know that the gate was gone, by acting as if we were looking at the gate in all. When we were sure the guards were not looking at all, we crossed through where the gate was support to be. We went from floating platform to floating platform, occasionally being attacked by monsters. Once we had gotten far enough away from the gate, I stopped and thought aloud, "well that was easier than I thought it would be." "Of course it was, the guards do not care and we look like bandits being covered in dirt and all." Meru said, although she did not mention we looked like bandits before. I just let the late comment go as we were one step closer to taking down the bandits. I did not carry her though the anti gravitational place.

When we got to near the end of the area, I saw some freaky giant thing that looked to be in the way. "It is a Virage. They were on the wingly side of the dragon campaign. They were one of the aces in the hole for winglies." She informed me; as if she saw the questioning look I was giving her. "Okay then." I told her. We went around the virage because it did not wake us up and attack us. The rest of the area was just random attacks and leaving out of the end of the area. Surprisingly, the bandits were not hiding there and there was a path leading to a ruined town. We decided to keep going when night fall came as we wanted to get this done as quickly as possible.

When we got there it was sunrise. We dodged arrows that were being shot at us while fighting off random creatures. The arrows indicated that this was indeed the bandit hid out. We run through the path way that was littered in arrows, giant statue heads, and giant sized buildings with doors made for giants. We made it to a door that looked like it slid to the side like, round, and made of stone. It reminded me of those Aztec people and the decorations on their temples, that I read about in school. I was about to displace that with the displacement ability that I have been spamming thought my time in this universe when a bandit who looked like he was just dancing in martial art stances, instead of having actual skill, and two other bandits showed up. They walls were aligned with archers. We dodged the arrows for a while until the fake martial artist and his two helpers had gotten pissed off enough to attack us on their own. As I thought, he was a fake, as he and his henchmen were taken down easily. Any real martial artist would have been able to do some damage to me, since I am not trained in any type of combat but matter manipulation. Heck I should have been easy for him if he was any good at what he was showing off. I thought as I displaced the door so we could continue. We walked on and Meru stopped at the ally with the light bugs in it. "They can heal any damage one may take." She told me. I let her heal herself with the flies.

After she was done healing, we went on up stairs to see if we can find the boss. When we got up the stairs, there was what I assumed to be the boss of the bandits and that one guy I beat up in the valley. As we drew near, the boss and the guy I beat up proceeded to attack us. What is up with bandits and attacking random people? I thought as we were fighting back. The boss was hard, but he guy I beat up in the valley was still as easy as ever. The guy was taken down quickly and the boss was the only one left. The boss had a knife and I was nearly getting deep cuts. Luckily I was use to taking damage from back in the place I was held prisoner and this felt like nothing. Meru was helping but we were still getting damaged somewhat. It was almost like this person knew martial arts but did not finish his training. Why would a martial artist, whom is a full grown man, need a knife to take down two girls? I thought as we finally took him down.

"Okay, who is impersonating the princess? I know you know who she is, and that you are working with her." I asked him as he was lying on the floor. "He he, that clear to see, huh? Her name is Lenus." He told me. "Where is the real princess?" I asked him in the most threatening voice I could muster up as an eleven year old. "She is in the picture of herself in her own room, via magic." He told me in fear. "What are Lenus and your bandits after?" I asked him. "My bandits and I are not after anything, but Lenus is after the moon dagger, which will be given to the princess on her twentieth birthday." He told me. "One last thing before I let her ask questions to you, have you seen a scary looking guy with a creepy looking smile or a black furred fox who could talk anywhere?" I asked him. "No." Surprisingly Meru did not have any questions. We looked around the room for the first time after the bandit boss went out of being wake. We found a lever, and pulled it. The pillar in the middle of the room started to drop down. It left stairs going down. We went down the stairs, but we found nothing but a storage room and a cell. We went back up and healed our selves, via the light flies and proceeded to leave.

Next chapter will be soon.
