Previously, we see that Koei will attempt to finally end the series after a glorious 15 years. The bishified cast went insane as the prophesied disaster has finally befallen on them. However, at the other, unknown side is a truth waiting to be unveiled….
Chapter 14: On the other side
?
?: Ergh….umh ….ouch….my god….I feel terrible this morning…..did I sleep wrong? Ermgh…..shit, I feel too lazy to even move this morning…..argh….opens eyes….eh? Where…am I?
The man, Zhao Yun, finds himself in a world composed of nothing but blue grids.
Zhao Yun: What the hell?! W-where did all of the buildings go?! Where did everyone go?! Hello? HELLO! Gah, no wonder I feel so awful this morning….even my bed is gone!
Ma Chao and Ma Dai: Huh?! OY! ZHAO YUN!
Zhao Yun: Ma Chao! Ma Dai! Thank god you're still here! Hey, you know where we are? And where did everyone go?
Ma Chao: Ah, that I don't know.
Ma Dai: It's weird, really. Everything are suddenly missing.
Jiang Wei: Hm?! Oy! Master Zhao Yun!
Zhao Yun: Jiang Wei! Gee, you're here as well!
Jiang Wei: Of course! I was afraid when I woke up here, and found literally EVERYTHING to be missing. So, I'm relieved when I found you three here.
Zhao Yun: Now this is really bizarre, don't you think? Gah, I feel worried for the rest.
Jiang Wei: Let's look for them, then!
Zhao Yun: Okay! Though…I'm a bit scared since this blue grid is seemingly infinite….
So, the four walked down the blue grid to look for the others.
Zhao Yun: Gah, is there ever an END to this place?!
Ma Chao: Be patient for just a bit, won't you?!
Ma Dai: Hm? Oh! Look over there!
Jiang Wei: Hey, it's the Guans and Bao Sanniang! Gee, they're still sleeping soundly.
Zhao Yun: Pretty much unlike me. Oh well, let's wake them up!
Ma Chao: Yo! Hey, you five! WAKE UP!
Guans Ping, Xing, Suo, Yinping, and Bao Sanniang: WAAHHH!
Guan Ping: Whoa, whoa, what happened?!
Guan Xing: Is there a fire?! Eh? Wah!
Guan Suo: Gah…it's still 6 o'clock in the morning!
Bao Sanniang: Yeah!
Guan Yinping: Eh? What is it?
Zhao Yun: Listen up, everyone! We have a problem here. We all suddenly woke up in the middle of a mysterious blue grid, with everything else missing!
Guan Ping: Really? Well, this is bad.
Ma Chao: It is! Look, we better look for EVERYONE and then try to figure out what happened here.
Zhang Bao: Hoaahhmmm….eh? Oh! You guys! Why are you all here?
Xingcai: Hm? Hey, brother!
Zhao Yun: Zhang Bao! Xingcai!
Zhang Bao: Hey, is there some sort of party, or what? I mean, it's only 6 o'clock in the morning, and-
Guan Xing: Not that, Bao. Look around.
Zhang Bao: Eh? Wait, WHAT?! WHERE ARE WE?!
Zhao Yun: …it took him THIS long to finally realize it?
Jiang Wei: He's indeed like that.
Xingcai: Really, what happened here?
Zhao Yun: We…don't know. We really all just sort of woke up in the middle of blue grids.
Xu Shu and Fa Zheng: Hey, there they are! OYYY!
Zhao Yun: Hm? Xu Shu! Fa Zheng!
Xu Shu: Oh, Master Zhao Yun! We're so glad to find you here.
Fa Zheng: Yeah. Like, suddenly everything around us are blue grids!
Zhao Yun: I know right. Gah, it's really weird, indeed.
Liu Shan: Ah! There! There he is!
Liu Bei: Oh! ZHAO YUN! runs in slo-mo
Zhao Yun: LORD LIU BEI! runs in slo-mo
Everyone else: sweatdrop
Fa Zheng: Psstt, Xu Shu.
Xu Shu: What?
Fa Zheng: Wait for it….
Xu Shu: Hm? What?
Zhao Yun: MY LORRRDDDD!
Liu Bei: ZILONGGG!
Zhao Yun: LOOORRRDDD LIUUU BEEEIIII- smacked by Liu Bei GWAH!
Fa Zheng: Hahahaha! See?
Xu Shu: sweatdrop Err….yeah.
Liu Bei: Zilong! How dare you to leave me like this! What have I done wrong to you?!
Zhao Yun: W-wha?! What do you mean?!
Liu Bei: I mean, why did you leave me alone?! You're supposed to guard over me constantly, and to sleep with me-
Zhao Yun: PSST! MY LORD! NOT IN FRONT OF LORD LIU SHAN!
Liu Bei: Oh, right.
Zhao Yun: Whatever the case is, I'm sorry, my lord. But at least we're reunited, and there's nothing more to worry.
Liu Bei: Yeah, right. But still, what happened? Where are the rest of our world?!
Zhao Yun: We don't really know for sure.
Liu Bei: Huff, really…..wait a minute.
Zhao Yun: Hm?
Liu Bei: Is it just me, or that I feel that…something is missing.
Zhao Yun: Something? Hmm…..
Xu Shu: …hey. I don't know, but I haven't seen Zhuge Liang nor his wife Yueying.
Fa Zheng: Oh, right! Pang Tong as well!
Liu Bei: Right! Now I remember!
Zhao Yun: Hey! Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong too!
Ma Dai: Wei Yan! ….oops.
Zhao Yun: That's right! We need to look for those 7 as well!
Everyone: Yo!
After long hours of searching
Liu Bei: Pant…pant….my honest GOD! Where the hell are they?! We've been walking down this blue grid for god-knows-how long!
Zhao Yun: Huff…huff…
Ma Chao: AAAAAHHHRRGGHHH! Why in a critical moment like this I can't summon my beloved horse?!
Jiang Wei: Chancellor….where….where are you?!
The Guans and The Zhangs: FATHEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR!
Xu Shu: Pang Tong!
Zhao Yun: Gah….seems like….seems like they're missing.
Liu Bei: What?! MISSING?! No…that can't possibly be!
Zhao Yun: It could be! I mean, suddenly the entire land disappeared, and it could be likely that some of us disappeared as well.
Liu Bei: Whaaaattt?! But that means disaster for us!
Zhao Yun: Huff…I know. But…hey. I notice something weird here.
Liu Bei: What?
Zhao Yun: I mean…look at us. Without those 7 persons we were looking for, we're now only a bunch of pretty boys and girls. And with this empty grid….oh no.
Ma Chao: What do you mean?
Zhao Yun: It….it's happening. They're really going to do it.
Jiang Wei: Doing what?
Zhao Yun: THEY'LL MAKE A DATING SIM FEATURING US!
Everyone: Gasp!
Liu Bei: Y-you serious?!
Zhao Yun: Yes! There's simply no other explanation. They've collected the pretty boys and girls to make dating sim out of it and cater to the fangirls and fanboys!
Ma Chao: Well, shit! How DESPERATE they COULD be to do THAT?!
Zhao Yun: I know right. Huff…I KNOW this day will eventually come sooner or later.
?: Hm! Hey, YOU!
Everyone: Huh?
Cao Pi: Hah, so you benevolence-whores are here as well!
Zhao Yun: Eh, Cao Pi?!
Wang Yi: looks at Ma Chao Ohh…..FINALLY! YOU ARE MIIINNNEEEEE! GRAAAHHHHH! runs towards Ma Chao
Ma Chao: Huh?! AAAHHH! WHOA!
Guo Jia: WAAAHH! Lady Wang Yi, STOP IIIITTTT!
Wang Yi: WAHAHAHAHAHA! SO, THIS DAY HAS FINALLY COME!
Zhao Yun: Gah! STOP IT! drags Wang Yi away
Wang Yi: ARGH! LET! ME! GO!
Zhao Yun: I told you, STOP IT!
Cao Pi: Wang Yi, he's right. Stay calm. We have something to talk about here, and we won't like Ma Chao's blood to be spilt all over the place, get it?
Wang Yi: Argh! …..grrrr. But, alright.
Cao Pi: Good. Now, Liu Bei.
Liu Bei: Yes. Cao Pi, son of Cao Cao, right?
Cao Pi: Of course. Now, when we woke up, we were surprised to see that we woke up in the middle of blue grids, and that we woke up with only my wife, Wang Yi, Zhang He, Yue Jin, Li Dian, Guo Jia, and Xun Yu.
Liu Bei: I see…so it's the same as us!
Cao Pi: Same as you? You mean that several members of your kingdom disappeared as well?
Liu Bei: Yeah.
Cao Pi: I see. Huff…this is a serious matter indeed. I mean, without my father, our kingdom won't be the same!
Liu Bei: I know. But the important thing is that we who remained here are really a bunch of pretty boys and girls.
Cao Pi: You think so? Hmm….well, if it's true, then we're indeed in some serious trouble.
Liu Bei: I know. We need to think of a way of getting back to our world.
Cao Pi: True. In that case, I suppose it's the best course to form an alliance.
Zhao Yun: Alliance? With Wei?! Gah! My Lord, don't do it!
Liu Bei: What do you mean?
Zhao Yun: My lord, this is clearly a trap prepared by Cao Pi! You can't just believe someone like HIM! Don't do it!
Liu Bei: Pssshh, Zhao Yun! Look, this is no time to worry over such pesky matters. We need to put our priorities first!
Zhao Yun: But-
Liu Bei: Okay then. Cao Pi, I thereby agree. shakes hands with Cao Pi
Cao Pi: Good. With this temporary alliance, we sure will be able to get this problem solved soon. TEMPORARY.
Liu Bei: gulps Er….yeah.
Wang Yi: Urm…well, if this alliance's over, I can kill Ma Chao, right?
Cao Pi: Whatever you want with him.
Wang Yi: Aw, yes! Heheheheheheheeehe…
Ma Chao: Mother of god….
Guo Jia: WAAAHHH! Seriously, Xun Yu, what do I lack?! I mean, I'm pretty, handsome, smart, and nice! Why does Wang Yi prefer that justice-freak Ma Chao over me?! Waaahhh!
Xun Yu: Sigh…face it, Fengxiao, not everybody likes you, okay. Hell, the Author herself prefers Jia Xu over you. And Wang Yi wants to KILL Ma Chao, dimwit.
Guo Jia: Whaaaattt?! That's unfair! Hwaaa…what's the point of developers making me PERFECT if that's not going to win me any ladies?! Even Cai Wenji also rejects me! Argh, I can't take it anymore….
Xun Yu: Well, you still have trillions of fangirls out there. Take your pick.
Sun Quan: Hm! Liu Bei! Cao Pi!
Liu Bei and Cao Pi: Sun Quan?
Zhou Yu: Hmm….ah, so it's indeed right, my lord.
Lu Xun: They too, are missing the non-pretty boys and girls.
Liu Bei: So, it seems you have the same problem as well, eh?
Sun Quan: If it's like what Zhou Yu and Lu Xun said, then yes.
Cao Pi: Seems like the others are having this too.
Sun Quan: Yes. Here, there are only my wife, my sister, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Gan Ning, Daqiao, Xiaoqiao, Ling Tong, and Zhu Ran.
Sun Shangxiang: Lord Liu Bei! hugs Liu Bei
Liu Bei: Ah! Come on, no need to do that in front of everyone.
Sun Shangxiang: Well, it's alright. I mean, my brother and father are suddenly missing!
Daqiao: Lord Sun Ce is gone! I'm scared! Waaahhh!
Xiaoqiao: Ah, you're being a crybaby, sister. As long as I'm here, it's alright!
Sun Quan: Needless to say, we really need to form an alliance in order to solve this problem together, okay?
Liu Bei: That's pretty much what we did.
Sun Quan: Oh, I see- Wait, WHAT?!
Cao Pi: WHOA! What….what's with it?
Sun Quan: You….actually AGREED to ally yourself with Wei?!
Liu Bei: Uh, yeah. Why?
Sun Quan: I mean….wow. I thought I have to step in in order to calm the whole situation between you and Cao Pi down, but…..
Cao Pi: Hahaha…well, it's alright. We have to set aside our past mutinies and work together to achieve a greater good, right?
Sun Quan: Ah, yes, right. Well then…I will join the alliance too!
Liu Bei: Welcome to the club.
Sun Quan: Okay! Now….what shall we do first?
Suddenly, they heard a very loud laugh coming from a distance.
Liu Bei: Who's that?!
Cao Pi: …oh my god….that laugh…is familiar.
Sun Quan: Well, whatever it is, it's worth checking out. Let's go!
Everyone: YOOSH!
To Be Continued….
Ahhh…finally, the return of the pretty boys! The one thing that all of you have been waiting for! (Not me though :p #smack!) Well! As usual, leave a review and have a good day!
