Other World, other me
As they pass through the door, Lu Xun quickly lead them to the stairs and escape, "This way!" While they went up, the soldiers who now caught up to them, shoot them non stop! Of course they can't stop on the half way, they need to proceed in order to escape.
Just as they almost got out to the roof, Da accidentally steps on a rotten stairs and fell down to the ground. Now, she was in danger, not only that she sprang her ankle but, this has got half of the soldiers' attention and attack her! "Mum!" Lei yell, she was worried about her mother's safety. Without hesitation, Jiang Wei quickly jumps down and fight the soldiers in order to protect Da. Just when Wei Yan wanted to went down to gives him some help, he was stop by Lu Xun. "You guard the ladies, take them to the roof! Now!" Before Wei Yan could cut him off, Lu Xun had jump down, and this really makes Wei Yan frustration. Once Lu Xun successfully land on ground, he quickly slain a soldier who about to shoot Jiang Wei from behind, "don't let your guard down!" Lu Xun warn. "Well, it seems like we have to keep each other's back then! Jiang Wei reply and together, they fight each soldiers.
While they keep each others back, Lu Xun told Da to heal herself first as he got a plan to get them out of here.
Lu Xun: You, lady who fell down, quickly heal yourself, we've got plan to do!
Xiao: (shout from the top) She have name you know! Her name is Da Qiao and I am Xiao Qiao!
Lu Xun: Whatever! Heal yourself now! (like that, Da quickly heal herself and ready for neat plan)
Jiang Wei: Swal… (just before Jiang Wei could call him, Lu Xun cut him off)
Lu Xun: Lu Xun…(he said cooly)
Jiang Wei: huh?
Lu Xun: My name…
Jiang Wei: (he look at him surprisingly, he didn't expect that he would told his name) Lu Xun… Alright, what should we do?
Lu Xun: (he took out a 'Crystal' from his pocket and throw it to Jiang Wei) You know how to use it right? Then you have five seconds to transform and take her out! (he too took out a 'Crystal' and transform into 'Ninja form')
Jiang Wei: (he quickly equip it on his weapon and summon 'Ninja form'! As he transform to a dark outfit which mostly similar as Hanzo Hattori, he jump back, grab Da's waist and jumps up to the top with Lu Xun) Wei Yan, open the door now! (once he steps on the stairs, Wei Yan open the door and they quickly ran outside and close the door from behind)
Lu Xun: Keep moving! (showing them the direction to go as he started to chanted on the door lock) Seal! (then the door had a sign of 'seal' which only temporary so that it could buy them some time to run away from the soldiers)
Once he successfully seal the door, he quickly ran away with them. As they run for quite some time, they stop. They tried to keep their breathe as they were exhausted. As they had confirm the soldiers were not following them, they take a rest for awhile.
Xiao: Next time, I don't want to run anymore… (fan herself with a fan)
Lei: I don't want either, especially running away from those guys…
Jiang Wei: Are you alright, Lady Da?
Da: (checking her ankle) Yes, I'm fine now.
Jiang Wei: So far everyone alright? (he just receive a nod from them. Once he was sure everyone was alright, he transform to his old self and return the 'Crystal' to Lu Xun) Here.
Lu Xun: (he took it from him. Now that they have secure from those soldier, he started to move out… alone)
Jiang Wei: Where you going? (stopping him)
Lu Xun: Going back, where else?
Xiao: Are you crazy? Those guys just almost kill us and you want to go back there?
Lei: You might got yourself kill…
Lu Xun: I get use all those of things. Those guys would only wanted me anyway, if I still roaming with you guys, surely they'll detect me…
Jiang Wei: Still, you can't go alone. I know what they want from you… But it's not worth it…, how about come with us!
Lei: (she looks happy) Yeah!
Da and Xiao: No!
Lei: Why!
Da : Don't you remember? He almost kill him…
Xiao: …and almost kill us all!
Lei: But! He did save us right?
Da: Honey, you still young, you haven't…(shock her head as unapproved)
Lei: Mum, I'm not a kid anymore! I'm already 13 and I can see things for myself!
Da: I won't allow you to say a word anymore! If I'm not allow, then I won't…!
Lei: Mum, you always like that! You never even tried to hear from me! (like that, they started to have argument, which its kinda scared Ying, Xiao, Wei Yan and Jiang Wei.)
Lu Xun: (as they bickering, Lu Xun could felt that he was not welcoming at all. Instead of watching them argue, he turn back and leave the scene)
Jiang Wei: H..hey! (now, he look at the girls. They knew they had over doing it, but both of them do have their point, it's just that… they're not agreeing on the same point)
Lei: Jiang Wei… (she looks very sad now, as if she's going to cry) Why ?
Da: Honey… we just…
Xiao: (tried to comfort her) Lei, it's alright…
Lei: No! it's not alright! He save my live… if he wasn't the one who save me from Dong Zhuo, I would had became his dessert! I even ask him to help me to retrieve back the pendent from him…
Da: Why you didn't mention it before? (she could felt that she was now regret. After for what she's trying to do and trying to say, she just could not accept for what he trying to do)
Lei: I've tried to, but… you work from day to night in order to raise us up… I don't even know how to say it since lately, the business getting more busier than before and I don't think Jiang Wei could keep it up if we always in deep trouble…(her eye's started to get watery)
It was an awkward silence, none of them felt comfortable until Jiang Wei make a move.
Jiang Wei: *sigh* (look at the ladies) Lady Da, Lady Xiao, I know you might never expecting him ever… but, I was hoping that you could gives him one more chance. Of course whatever he's doing just now might hurt our feelings, but, as far as I see, he's not a bad person. Although something does tells me that he had his own explanation about his doing. (then he turn back and started to chase Lu Xun, which he hopes that he wasn't that far away from them)
As he chase, Lu Xun was not far from them.
Jiang Wei: Hey, wait up! (he tried to stop him but Lu Xun keep moving on). I say stop! (he fasten his pace and manage to stop him.) Hey, I'm calling!
Lu Xun: What?! (feeling annoy)
Jiang Wei: Please, come with us!
Lu Xun: No! There's no way I could went back there, you know why!
Jiang Wei: There should be! Look, Lei told us everything about you and she hopes that…
Lu Xun: So what? Even if I did help, then? I'm doing it as my own will, nothing else! So, just leave me be! (then started to went off)
Jiang Wei: Then… why did you help us in the first place? You could just lay us into these troubles but, you are not. You knew something might happen to us, that's why you acted so cold to us in order to shoo us away and avoid that incident, didn't you…
Lu Xun: *sigh* Even if I do follow you, what would happen to you guys. You as HURT should know all about this, they won't let me go unless…
Jiang Wei: (pat on his shoulder) You don't have to worried about us, if something might happen between us, we'll kick their butt back! What do you say?
Lu Xun: (he thinks through, he really hopes that he did not choose the wrong path and look at him) Alright! I'll follow, but only temporary since my home was attack by those soldiers…
Jiang Wei: No problem! Stay as much as you can! (he gives him a wide smile)
Like that, they walk back to where Wei Yan and the girls are and ready to go back to 'Garden Café'. Although there are some minor silence and awkward 'mood' in it, but they tried not to spoil the atmosphere as what Jiang Wei had told them to gives him a second chance.
Just as they reach the Area's 3 gate, they saw a carriage came out from that area and ready to go to Area 2.
Jiang Wei: That's weird, it's really rare to see carriage nowadays… I wonder who's the VIP is…
So far as he know, only the VIP or the invited one could allow to do so. As they watch carefully who are the one in the carriage, it was a lady. She had a birth mark just right below her left eye, she had a rather half curly short hair and the make up was so thick as if like Lady Noh (which kinda gives them a creep!)
Lu Xun: That was the most ugliest woman I've ever seen!
Lei: You know… she looks familiar, don't you think?
Jiang Wei: Well, kinda…Um… who is she…? I just could not remember…(As he was wondering who's the lady are, just then, he saw Gan Ning and Ma Chao were sneaking quietly behind the carriage, step on the carriage and acting suspicious) What the…?
Da: What do you think they were doing?
Xiao: Should we follow them? (she look at Jiang Wei and waiting for the answer)
Wei Yan: Me…want…follow…
Jiang Wei: (he made a few thoughts and finally came to decision) If that's the case, you girls and Wei Yan shall went back to the café and told them what had happen so far while me and Lu Xun will check on Ma Chao and Gan Ning…
Xiao: Whoa! Why can't we follow you guys!? (they're looking at him with questions)
Jiang Wei: (he go near them and whisper at their ears so that Lu Xun can't hear every single word what they say) Then, would you prefer 'he' with you? You never knows what kind of personality he'll show to them though, especially Huang Gai…(now Lu Xun was curious, he wanted to know what they had talking about)
Da and Xiao: (they of course quick shook their heads as they're disagree of being with him since he had a very indiscipline attitude. Even Wei Yan doesn't agree staying with 'him') No, no! That'll be alright…!
Jiang Wei: Ok then, since we know what to do, then, let move! We'll came back as soon as we can! Don't worry!
Then, the girls and Wei Yan went back to Café and told every thing to Huang Gai while Jiang Wei and Lu Xun following behind their back and check what is going on.
Lu Xun: Do you know them?
Jiang Wei: Wha? Who? Ma Chao and Gan Ning?
Lu Xun: (nod)
Jiang Wei: Well yes, kinda…
Lu Xun: How you meet them?
Jiang Wei: Um…let's see… According to Huang Gai, they just appear from no where and help them. Although we do suspect if they're a spy from Cao Cao, but… they doesn't seems look like it…
Lu Xun: So… have did you ask them where they came from?
Jiang Wei: I do, it's just that, the place they gave me was unavailable in this world, they also mention about… searching for their dead friends in other world and came from a black hole… or something like that…
Lu Xun: I don't trust them!
Jiang Wei: Pardon?
Lu Xun: Don't trust them too much! Never know what kind of trick they're using… especially that guy with a spiky hair…
Jiang Wei: You know… you almost sound like Huang Gai (he gives himself a smile)
Lu Xun: Hmp! Just being cautious, if they do from them! Then I'll be gladly to send them away with this! (pointing a sword of his)
Jiang Wei: You sure do hate them so much…
Once they pass through Area 2's gate, the carriage went straight to a mansion like (it's a bit smaller than you thought) and there was a bodyguard who guard outside the mansion, ask for information about their purpose.
Ma Chao: Well, hello, uh…may I introduce you… Lady Ling! Her name is Ling Ling, so I thought she might be a perfect for tonight's guest…! (he tried to hold his smile while he was trying to think a better negotiation which was suppose to follow the plan. And he was not a good adviser)
Guard: Hm… (he looks at him from top to bottom, he also look at the lady who just gives him a flying kiss and it's almost creeps him off because of her make up!) So, why do you 'send' it to us?
Gan Ning: (seeing that Ma Chao doesn't know how to overcome this situation, he quickly interrupt and solve the problem) You see… she's the hottest and sexiest girl so far we seems and… you know… (he gives a hint of rubbing fingers to gives him a fee for taking her here) Yeah, you got the idea! So I was thinking…
Guard: Oh yeah sure (take a token of money from his pocket and give it to Gan Ning) Here you go! If you'll excuse me, I'll take the lady! There's nothing you need to do here!
Gan Ning: What?!
Ma Chao: But! I thought we're suppose to meet him!
Guard: No, no, he won't meet you at all. All he want to meet was the girl! So back away! (he call the lady down and took her into the mansion)
Gan Ning: Whoa, whoa, hold it right there! I thought we are suppose to meet him!
Guard: (this time he took his gun and point at them) Look! Rules chance and if he don't want to meet you then he won't! So get out of my sight before I shoot!
Ma Chao: Ok, ok… we go! (then, the both of them went off, they hide behind the pillar and watch the girl went into the mansion helplessly)
Gan Ning: You know, the plan is success but HALF! How are we going to follow the plan?!
Ma Chao: That can't be help! They got guns! You want us to died? I just hope that he did not turn off this thing! (he tried to connect the communicator, but somehow, the communicator could not reach them)
Gan Ning: Now, what should we do?!
As they're whining of the situation, they did not even realize that Jiang Wei and Lu Xun was right behind them.
Jiang Wei: Hey, what's wrong?
Ma Chao: Well, I don't know… We are suppose to went in together and now, we can't even went in, our communicator are down, and worst, if they discover who she is, his DOOM!
Jiang Wei: Why? What's that suppose to mean?
Gan Ning: You see, we ask Ling Tong to disguise as a women for distraction and we are suppose to sneak in together and force that pig to talk! And now we can't do a thing! What should we do? Go back?
Jiang Wei: You could just think other plan, that's all.
Ma Chao: That's easy for you to say, we've been trying to think for this plan for so long and this the only result we get! Ever since you and Wei Yan fell from that building, we can't do a single thing correct, and now, you're appearing in front of us as a spirit… we are SOOO failure!!! (started to cry out loud)
Jiang Wei: Why you sounds like as if I have died?!
Lu Xun: …
Ma Chao: Say no more Jiang Wei, on behalf from my justice, I'll tried my best to you…(before he could finish his sentence, his head was slap by Gan Ning) What's that for!?
Gan Ning: Uh… Ma Chao… you're talking to him, right? (he point at Jiang Wei which he thought he saw a ghost!)
Ma Chao: Yeah, I'm talking to him! Why!
Gan Ning: Just in case you still not aware, he did fell from the building right? And so far their body was not discovered yet right… then, do you think…
Ma Chao: (Come to think of it, he was right! Now he started to look scare, for the whole time he was talking to a spirit!) Uh…
Jiang Wei: *sigh* Guys, what are you thinking about! I'm not dead yet! (he walks towards them which make them step back, just in case he really was a ghost)
Gan Ning: St… stay back! I…I'm not afraid of you! (both Ma Chao and Gan Ning was hugging each other as they're so scared of him)
Jiang Wei: I'm telling you the truth! Touch me and you'll know the answer! (he let out his hand and was hoping that they could touch him, which he hopes this could solve their 'misunderstanding')
They give themselves a big breathe and touch him. It did not pass through, and this confirms that he still alive. Somehow, Ma Chao was still suspicious about is this really Jiang Wei. He raise up his hand to touch his face and pinch him, which makes Jiang Wei let out a yelp. Due to his reflection, he gives Ma Chao a slap on his face, which both of their face are equally red.
Ma Chao: It's really you! (now he hug Jiang Wei so tightly that he can't breathe!) I miss you buddy!
Jiang Wei: I…I miss you too… could you let me go? I can't breathe… (then Ma Chao let him go which he quickly took a deep breathe)
Ma Chao: So, what happen to you guys? (he look around but find Wei Yan was no where to be found) Where's Wei Yan?
Jiang Wei: Oh, about that… (then he started to told them what had happen to them during their fall)
Once they got some of the idea about their fall, it was now Jiang Wei's turn to ask.
Jiang Wei: So, what's brings you guys here anyway?
Ma Chao: About this? It's all happen after you guys fall. While we searching for you, we find there was someone suspicious roaming around the café. He act so suspicious that we catch him for integration, and we find out that it had something to do with Dong Zhuo, and …
Gan Ning:…and that's how this plan came. You see, according to this guy, he told us something bad might happen to us! Since he just knew these few part, we're wondering if we could attack him from front and force him to expose his evil scheme…
Ma Chao:… but the problem is, he might had thought this through and set us the trap…
Gan Ning: So, in the end, we decided to use disguise to sneak in since we know that every midnight, four girls had to be presented and would be choose by him to do those thing! But once it was done, they said that most of the girls were gone! As if they just disappear in the air…
Ma Chao: Since it's too dangerous for a girl to do the job, in the end, we decided that one of us should be the one and we choose Ling Tong to be our spy.
Gan Ning: Actually, what we gonna do was, sneak in with him while he attract the guys. Once we meet Dong Zhuo in person, we could get that chance to force him to say out loud and out of here! But now…!
Ma Chao: I'm sure his disguise won't hold long…
Gan Ning: Plus, this stupid thing won't work! We don't know whether he's alright or not!(he took out the communicator)
Lu Xun: That's because its out off battery, idiots! You never use it before?! (since he was facing them from the back the whole time, they did not really realize that he was there the whole time!)
Gan Ning: Like you know how to use it, sparky!
Lu Xun: (this time, he face them with stern eye)
Ma Chao: Lu…Lu Xun? He was here?
Gan Ning: Is this really Lu Xun we knew? He looks… different! Wait! Did he just say…
Jiang Wei: Oh, almost forgot, he is Lu Xun, he's the one we meet during the fall. Lu Xun, meet Ma Chao and Gan Ning. (Somehow Lu Xun did not say anything, he just kept quiet and stare at Ma Chao and Gan Ning) By the way, Lu Xun, do you have any idea of how to solve their problem? We could help them…
Lu Xun: Not interested…
Ma Chao: Huh? What?
Lu Xun: I said I'm not interested! Even if I do have plan, you should figure it out by now!
Gan Ning: Wait! What's that suppose to mean!?
Lu Xun: If you really think there would be another plan, I said none! Since the disguise was a flaw, why not just attack straight fort? That might work you know.
Ma Chao: Just in case you don't know, they might had set some traps…
Lu Xun: Then, let it be. It's not likely that they did not had any idea after all… Unless you guys are the one who chickening out…!
Gan Ning: Look, if you say we did not have any idea, then that's fine, BUT if you say we're chicken out for doing it, then you're wrong! There must be a way to do so! Of course we have to count out the part which we had to charge fort, that's too risky…
Lu Xun: …and this was the problem. Even if we did sneak in successfully, do you think they did not had set the traps? (now they're silence, he was right. What if they really did set the traps just to trap them. Is there no way to sneak in?)Oh, and let me remind you one more thing, no matter where you go or what you're doing, traps around us. So I advice you not to think so much and just charge forward. That's all!
Gan Ning: This doesn't make sense, is this really Lu Xun? He never ever thought of something like that… The one I knew, he always think first before he act… But this one, he was totally different person, I know this came from other world, but it's just… Heck! What should I do, old man…
Lu Xun: Now, if you'll excuse me, I think that's all we should do… (before he turn back, he was interrupt by Gan Ning)
Gan Ning: I don't agree with you!
Lu Xun: Hm?
Gan Ning: If we charge forward, do you not think that would bring more harm? Listen, I have friend in there, and I'll do what ever to take him out, besides…
Jiang Wei: Lu Xun, did you foresee something? Is that why you…
Lu Xun: No, I did not, it's not the same as last time. But anyway, that's the only plan I could only thought that would be the best. Perhaps you had other plan? Do you think yours are better than mine? (he ask Gan Ning deadly, as if he'll grab his soul out of his lung)
Gan Ning: (he wanted to say something, but his mouth could not let his word out. As he thought of a better way to solve, he decided to say it out, at last)
*Other World, He Fei, Garden Café*
At the mean time, after what the girls and Huang Gai told them about their story, Da and Xiao suddenly cried out a loud.
Da: You what?!
Xiao: You big meanie!
Huang Gai: Wait, I'm not mean to… (he was so scare of the girls now)
Da: You took my clothes…to him? That is the newest clothes I've ever wear and I leave it until next year!
Xiao: And you even use my cosmetic? I haven't use it within one year!
Da: Huang Gai, you gonna pay for this!
Xu Huang: Oh, boy, that is why never take lady's thing without permission…
Cao Ren: You are so…right!
Now, both Da and Xiao walk towards him and ready to punish him for using their stuff without asking their permission. Of course, Huang Gai quickly tried to find a way to avoid this situation, but… unfortunately, there was no one could help him and they could only stands aside and watch. In the end, outside the café, they could heard a loud 'BING!', 'BANG!' BOMB!' and they're wondering what happen in the café. (Of course you should know what it is, right?)
That's all for this chapter. In next chapter, how would they save Ling Tong, but how?
Stay tune for more.
