They awoke to find the dog staring over them.
"Wha- how are we alive?" Jillian moaned.
"I saved you all, you got lucky it was only skeletons" the dog said jumping back on top of the clock."Oh all of your equipment is broken and damaged"
"What!" Eric said getting up"Damnit!"
"Oh by the way I forget to give you all something" he handed them all a credit card looking thing. "This is the way how we use money, we already took all the gold on the ship and split it equally between you"
"Oh great, I need new armor" Eric said.
"Oh and this" He handed them armlets, with a screen on them and buttons."This will show your status"
"All right! No I can check my status" Marcus said putting it on.
"Your current level is 6, your status is weak" The armlet said.
"Wow, are we all like that?" Mark asked.
"Yes, except for Swift" The dog said."The shop holds many items, I suggest buying before going out there again"
Eric run over the weapon shop and looked in but didn't see any weapons just a bench of capsules.
"Hey what the deal where are the weapons?" Eric asked.
"They are in the capsules" the owner replied.
"Oh okay, than let me see the katanas" Eric said, the owner gave him about brought up about 10 of the capsules, Eric looked through them"Damnit, how can I tell which ones better?"
"You don't know how to use the device on your arm do you" he said,"Push the green button to examine a weapon to compare with another/current"
"Ohh" Eric did so.
"The rune katana, is better than jewel katana" the armlet said.
"I'll take the rune one than" Eric said.
"Okay, if you give me the jewel sword I'll give you 10k for it and give you the sword for 25k" the man offered.
"Erm, well let's see, here use this" Eric handed him the card.
"Okay" He swiped it through a machine and took out the money."You have 55k left"
"Man, I need to remember this" Eric said."What do you got for armor?"
"What kind, the clothes you where, hmm. Here" He brought up 3 capsules."Very powerful, very expensive"
"Like how much?" Eric asked.
"Well, at least 1billion credits" he said.
"WHAT?" Eric yelled."I don't have that much" he left the store.
Marcus and the other run into the store too. It went the same way. Marcus bought a Mirror dagger which can deflect a spell, Josh bought the katana named Razor, Jillian bought a dragoon spear, Mark bought the Wind hauler, Melissa bought a holy staff, and Swift bought a pair of matching assassin daggers.
"Okay" Eric said going into the next store the others followed.
The store was lined with badges.
"Hmm, I wonder what this are for?" Josh asked.
"Can I help you?" a Badgeman said.
"Yeah what's with all the badges?" Josh asked.
"Well someone hasn't heard of the badges have they, these badges give power to those who have the points to use them, they are all very useful" badgeman said.
"Okay, let's see, oh attack up, extra attack, lightening speed. Whoa" Eric was easily impressed.
"Now which ones?" Badgeman asked.
Josh got an attack-up, defensive badge and a quick badge. Eric got stamina, health, and an attack badge. Mark got defense and two quick attacks. Mina got three accuracy badges. Melissa got healers badge, defense, and a magic-up. Marcus got a speed, attack-up, and magic-up. Jillian got attack, jump, and stamina. Swift got three quick attacks.
"Okay I think we are ready now" Eric said.
"About time" The dog said jumping down and opening the door. this time to a jungle.
"What the hell?" Mark said.
"Oh, the land changes but it usually is a desert" The dog said.
"Okay this time we can win" Mark said.
"That's what a pervert would say" Mina said.
"Grrr, listen I didn't do anything wrong" Mark said.
"Yeah you did you slept with her, pervert" Eric said walking into the jungle.
"What you to?" Mark sighed walking into the jungle.
They walked in and started to head in one direction and became lost quite quickly. They soon found a way out only to find a small red creature sleeping.
"Hey,look a red creature just sleeping, it's so tiny I'll catch it" Mark said turning into a werewolf and pouncing at it but it quickly awoke and disappeared."What?"
The red creature came form behind and knock Mark into a tree which broke and he kept on going through trees until he hita big one and stopped. He than turned and found the others"Elemental RED!" a huge red spark came from his hands and hit them all.
They awoke yet again, to the dog."My God you guys like to fight things that hate you, go eat and hit the beds"
They got something to eat and went to bed, the next day went pretty much the same way except, for the fact that Josh took a shower with Melissa, and they didn't buy anything. Time passed and day in and day out they fought and lost, fought and lost, this went on until one day.
"Okay this time we will win!" Eric said holding up his sword against a couple of skeletons.
"I'm tired of losing, why do we persist?" Marcus said pulling out a magic scroll in which created a huge beam and blew away a couple of hundred skeletons.
"We must win!" Eric ran up to a group of skeletons and span around swinging.
Mark turned into a werewolf and started to rip through the skeletons like paper. Mina was shooting at any coming to close, Josh was protecting Melissa form harms way, Melissa was healing the wounded, Swift was well being swift and was killing a lot of skeletons in little time, Jillian was dive bombing some skeletons. Soon the skeletons were dieing in numbers and soon there was no more.
"We-we we won!" Eric said jumping up."Yes!"
"This calls for a victory dance" Mark said doing a back flip and turning back into human.
"Well I guess it does" Mina said smiling.
"Melissa we did it!" Josh kissed her.
"Jillian, no harm has come to you" Marcus said catching up to her.
"Look the building" Eric pointed with his sword.
They entered and saw the dog waiting there with a huge book.
"Well done, this part is for knowledge, to become strong you must know a lot" The dog said.
"You mean, now we have to study?" Eric sighed.
"Alright this is great, time for me to be stronger!" Marcus said.
And so they started to study, Marcus and Melissa both excelling past the rest. Soon time came to an end for studying.
"All right, you may now go back I have taught you from the book, may your new knowledge help you" The dog said sitting.
They existed and saw the skeletons.
"Not again!" they all yelled.
The skeletons had their revenge. They awoke in the lobby.
"Oh all-right time to get new equipment!" Eric said heading to the shop.
"Oh your alive, I thought you died" The shopguy said.
"Nope, I have enough for that armor now" Eric said.
"Well, I got a better item, look!" He pulled out a blue baseball-size diamond.
"Whoa, what is it?" Eric asked.
"It is the element blue!" He raised it.
"What?" Eric said.
"I'll sell it to you for a nice price" He said with a smirk.
"Nah it's okay, I'll buy a new weapon instead" Eric said.
"What about the armor?" he asked.
"Yeah I changed my mind, now I'll take the best one" Eric said handing him his card.
"Here take it" he handed him a katana."Be careful it's sharp on the outside"
Eric took out the sword from the sheath and swung it once."Much better"
Just than the doors leading out was thrown open and a boot took one step in the Castle...
