"Um, guys? Where the heck did we go?" I asked. Apparently, we were in the small part of the planet that was not part of ToonTown, and it looks like we were at an ancient ruins. Weird, I don't remember going here but I am a little familiarized with it for some reason. Makes me wonder...
"Hey Tas, is that her?" Flappy pointed out. I looked towards where he was pointing and saw Kit resting, under the sun the suddenly came out. I wobbled for a second and fell on the floor. Mike and Flappy grabbed my arms and pulled me back to my feet.
"Yup." I said. I reached for something in my pocket. I pulled something out of it and gave it to Flappy. "Here, after I give you the signal, drop the cube and jump back as soon as it hits to ground." I instructed. I gave it to him since he's the best at aiming. He dropped it and we all jumped. The box unfolded and out came a cannon.
"What the heck was that?" Flappy asked.
"The randomizer cube. Think of one of the five senses and drop it. Since you saw Kit sleeping, you were thinking of sound, or hearing. From out of one billion tests, cannons are the most common for all senses. Though, I was expecting a soundmaker or a jukebox." I explained.
"Okay." I jumped into the cannon and Flappy controlled it.
"Just aim about four inches above her... there."
BOOM! Flappy fired me out of the cannon. Kit's eyes snapped open. She rolled off the log she was sleeping on and I planted my face into the ground. She got up quickly.
"Tas?"
"The one and only, I think..." I muffled. I pushed myself off the ground and I turned down-side down. I moved both of my arms outwards and I fell on my bottom. I jump up and brushed the dirt off my arms. "Okay, I guess we are all back." There was an awkward moment of silence. I looked around to see if there is anything to talk about. "Should we go into the temple over there?" I asked. Everyone nodded. "WHY YOU NO SPEAK?"
"Okay." Everyone said. Me leading, we ran to the temple door.
.
This feels a lot like Temple Run and Indiana Jones at the same time. It's a strange feeling when you know the way around even though you never been at a place before. "This way." I said. We turned left. There was another T path. "That-a way." We turned right. We alternated each turn until we reached a room that kind of looked like an arena. I entered it slowly.
BAM! The door shut behind me.
"GUYS!" I yelled. I flung to the door and hammered it with my fists. It was pitch-black until torches lit up.
"Greetings, rat."
"I'm a mouse!" I yelled.
"It seems that you want the book-"
"What book?"
"Would you just be patient?"
"Okay."
"Anyways, rat, (I held the outburst) the book contains the secrets about the Golden Hoop. Do you have it in you possession?" I held out my hand and tapped my foot two times. The Hoop appeared in my hand. "Good. Now, put it inside the chamber in front of you." I looked forward and saw a chamber that was the exact size of the Hoop. I was about to put it in until I felt distrust.
"Wait a minute, how do I know I can trust you?"
"Want me to bring out the laser?" The voice asked.
"Fine." A hole appeared in the ground and a tiny laser gun appeared. I chuckled. "That's supposed to frighten me?" It then started to unfold into a bigger laser gun until it took up the room's space with the ball touching my nose. "Okay, I'm gonna put it in, but first, you need to put that thing away." I said. The gun folded into the previous version and went down the closing hole. I turned around and put the hoop inside empty ring. It glowed faintly and the chamber opened for me. I walked through the empty space and it was shut. Darkness was back until the torches were lit up. I can only see part of the room since the torches were only lit up at my side.
"To get the book, you must take three tests. The test of Knowledge, Stability, and Love. ("Crud." I thought) Good luck." The entire room was still not lit up. At the end of the room, torches lit up and revealed a boy dog. He walked to me and kept walking until we were about 5 feet distant from each other.
"First, the test of Knowledge." He said. "What is your name?"
"Tas." I answered.
"How old are you?"
"Seventeen."
"How old were you when you received your powers?"
"Fifteen."
"How old are your friends?"
"Mike, Flappy, and Sabrina are seventeen years old. Kit is sixteen years old."
"Why did the chicken cross the road?"
"To save the world."
"What is two plus two?"
"Four."
"What is three to the third power?"
"Twenty-seven."
"What is the prime factors of 39?"
"Three times thirteen."
"What is the battery percentage of your computer right now?"
"Fourteen percent."
"Okay, you are done with the test Knowledge. Now you will be tested with your Stability." The dog disappeared in a blink of an eye. The whole room lit up and revealed a hooded figured. It walked to me and put it's hand out. An pink aura appeared and it was shouting and repeating a phrase. My eyes widen. The near death experiences with my friends while fighting with Zack. The death of my family. (My legs began to tremble) The betrayal and death of the CEO. (I fell onto my knees) The death of my friends, the near-loss of Flappy. (I was having trouble breathing.
"S-s-stop." I said. The figure tightened its grip and chanted even louder. When Sabrina got a boyfriend, the betrayal of Karot and Griz. (I started to see spots) The look in Sabrina's face at the battle, the blood of Kit's. (I felt my neck blocking the cry) I then remembered the faces of Zack and Chuck. Everything started to go to another direction. I felt steam in my brain. I was losing my sanity. I then remembered the bullies who hurt the little boy I helped, then the bullies who hurt me when I was younger. I was looking around in a tunnel view. Everything at the sides were blurry while the center of my vision was clear. I then let it go.
"YOU ARE STARTING TO (bleep) ME OFF!" The bleep just ruined the seriousness. A dark aura surrounded me. My vision became clear and all the negatives were all forgotten. I looked around for an opening. "LET ME OUT OF HERE YOU PIECE OF (bleep)!" I curled up into a ball and started to smash the walls with no luck. I've been going at it until five minutes later, where I lost all of my energy. I quickly reverted back to my normal self and I slept on the floor. I began to regain energy, but it was gradual. I didn't care about a single thing in the moment of ease. I then fell into a deep sleep.
