Author's note: Uh, Mat, have you been doing your homework? I've known about "The Futures Of..." for a while now. I've got you on author alert.
Also, when are you doing your next episode? I've got a suggestion that I really think you should consider.

Chapter 6: Dark Turn of Events

RPGAMES WORLD - MOOSE MEADOW
After the battle, we were returned to our previous position in the crowd. Everyone backed away from the three of us. The king was amazed. "Those were three of my favorite soldiers, and you took them down effortlessly! You three are amazing!"
"Please, quit the flattery," I told the king.
"I need to do something important. Just for that amazing performance, Leo, the Hunter of the Month award will go not to Toro, but to you! Congratulations!"
Sam laughed a little as I claimed the award. "I guess there are advantages to getting jealous."
Toro, meanwhile, was furious. He walked over to a shrine. The king gasped. "Wait, Toro! That's the Shrine of the Sphere! The Crystal Sphere that keeps evil spirits encased in it is in there!"
"I know," Toro silently replied. "If there's any way to get my revenge on Leo for stealing MY award, it's like this." The king sent more soldiers to stop him, but Toro fended them off easily as he approached the Crystal Sphere.
For a moment, Toro paused. "This is the Crystal Sphere, which contains great power. And now …" Toro took the crystal from its pedestal. "… that power shall be mine"
The crowd was filled with gasps and murmurs as Toro threw the crystal on the ground, shattering it. A strange black cloud emerged from it and enveloped Toro. When it cleared, Toro had been transformed into a huge monstrous beast. "I am … OTORA!"
"No," Alex shot back, "you're very, very ugly."
In response to this, Toro, excuse me, Otora raised his arms and sent a wave of magic flowing over the crowd. Sam protected the three of us and the king with a magical barrier, but the wave turned numerous citizens into beasts. The king was horrified. "My goodness! Look at the damage you've done!"
"What of it?" Otora responded. "What are you going to do about it?"
"Sam, Alex, and Leo will stop you and your beasts," the king retorted. "Even if there are only four of us and a thousand of them!"
"I've got a better idea," Sam told the king. "RUN!"
LATER - PLUM VILLAGE - OUR HOUSE
"It's so kind of you three to give me shelter in your house," the king said.
"After what Toro did, it's the least we can do for you," I assured him. "Now, what's the best way to stop him?"
Sam snapped her fingers. "I know! Remember the tablet the old man had? It said, 'When four rings are united on their pillars, the power to overcome trouble will be revealed.' We need to find these four rings!"
"I can tell you," the king told us. "The four rings you seek are hidden in various places in our land. Here- I'll mark their locations on your map."
Alex showed the king our map (how did SHE get it? I was the one the soldier gave it to), and he used a pen to put X's on four locations. "The rings are at those locations, but be careful. Chances are, a whole mess of monsters will get in your way."
I nodded. "Thanks for the warning. Let's go."
Will this party take care of all the monsters? Will they fare better than the last one did? It's the end of the chapter, so you'll have to tune in tomorrow! This is Tina D. of RPGames, wishing this team good luck! (They may need it.)
7:31 AM - SPIES' VILLA
"That was an EXCELLENT episode of RPGames," Normi said. "We have to see the next one when it airs tomorrow!"
Clover agreed. "I hope Sam, Alex, and Leo make it out okay. That Tina D. is really cool, though. This is Tina D. of RPGames, and it looks like today's going to be a great day!"
"Wow, Clover, great Tina D. impression. You sounded almost EXACTLY like Tina D. there," Normi told his cousin. "You should try that more often. I'm getting hungry, though. Come on. Let's have some breakfast."
