Chapter 2- Barlog's Discovery

"Wrench," ordered Barlog.

"Wrench," replied Cold Eye, handing a wrench to Barlog. Both of them were busy building their monster trck.

"Woah... we're done," said Barlog, wiping his chest. The monster truck was really big. It's blue, a few flames, and vast wheels.

"This monster truck is... amazing!" complimented Cold Eye.

As Barlog went inside, he asked, "How do I look riding this baby?"

Cold Eye gave a look, "Well, the monster truck look smokin hot, but... you kinda... ruin the pcture."

Barlog gave a nasty look, "You dare say this baby is not right for me?"

"No no, milord. I'm saying it's just... your body doesn't fit well..."

Barlog looked down. "Well, how am I supposed to fit in the style?"

Suddenly, Tauromacis rushed in with news.

"Sorry, but I have... woah, nice cakes."

"Shut up and state your purpose here!" commanded Barlog.

"Okay... this is bad news," he said. "Somehow, these humans we're fighting right now have some kind of magical armor."

"Magical armor?" asked Barlog.

"Are you referring to magician armor?" suggested Cold Eye.

Tauromacis explained, "No, I mean real magical armor! It was a warrior with no helmet and a red, disgusting hair style."

"Red hair?" puzzled Cold Eye.

"There are red-headed people?" asked Barlog.

"He also have a weird body armor. Not to mention, my soldiers said his head is as hard as orihalcon!"

"Impossible!" cried Barlog. "What kind of sacred magic are they using?"

Cold Eye recognized this situation before. "You know, there had been news about weird looking people with odd looking clothes and invisible armor..."

What Cold Eye said surprised Barlog. "No way! When did-"

"Ahem." Tauromacis was trying to get attention. "Oh, I'm really sorry. Please continue," apologized Cold Eye.

Tauromacis took out something in his pocket. "I've managed to take a picture of this human I've explained to you, your majesty." Barlog went down to get the picture.

When both Barlog and Cold Eye saw the glimpse of the human player...

"Aw! Nasty! What kind of a human is he!" screamed Barlog.

"Ugh! How horrible! Who would do such a thing?" cried Cold Eye.

Tauromacis took the picture away. "I'm sorry you had to see that..." apologized Tauromacis.

"Eh... you did a good job filling the description of this mystery, Tauromacis. You may be dismissed," ordered Barlog.

Tauromacis bowed down and left.

"Cold Eye," he called, "What world do we live in?"

"Maple Story, my lord," he answered.

"Well, we gotta find out where they get their armor and crap. To the ghost ship!" he ordered.

"Remember? Your clones are still using it to bring havoc to air travelling humans..."

"Oh, yeah... um... To the... How am I supposed to go across the land without those humans hunting me down?"

"Why don't you call your friends?" suggested Cold Eye.

Barlog had an idea. "I know! Thanks for your help, counselor!"

Cold Eye felt good about himself until...

"We will torture a player and beat him up till it will spit us some answers!"

Cold Eye gave a look. "But that's not what I suggested..."

Barlog ignored him as he went away.

After all the events that you don't want to hear capturing a player, Barlog is now having a conversation with a purple headed player.

The human woke up, "Ugh... where am I?" He found himself in a dark room with a few Tauromacis, a Cold Eye, and a Barlog.

"Ahh! Log out! Log out! Log out!" he cried.

Barlog slapped him, "Shut up! This is a map where normal human players can't log out!"

"Woah... you guys can talk! I must be... oh no! I only have 134 HP left! HELP!" he cried, miserably.

Barlog whispered to Cold Eye, "How come he has low HP?"

"It's because you touched him, milord," he whispered back.

"Oh, yeeeeaaaah... I forgot, heh..." he turned to one of his Tauromacises. "You!"

"Yes, your majesty?" he replied.

"Elixir, chop chop!" Tauromacis handed Barlog the Elixir. He then threw the Elixir at the player.

"Wow... you must be nice monsters... and you throwing an elixir at me hurts in reality..."

"Okay, purple man... what is your name?"

The player sighed, "My name tag is below me."

"Good day, Below Me," Barlog said.

Cold Eye whispered to Barlog, "He's talking about his name being below him literally, my lord."

Barlog looked and read, "T3th3r1ss... wouldn't that actually be named Tetheriss?"

Tetheriss explained, "Well, my name would be Tetheriss if I had played this game earlier."

"Okay..." Barlog walked around him. "What job are you?"

"A Spearman." he answered.

"Okay..." Barlog looked at Tetheriss's face with an ugly look.

"You know... it would be more nicer if you keep your ugly face off my cool hair?"

"Ugly face? Cool hair? You're the one who's ugly here!" He turned away.

"Tell me... what's your secret behind your invisible armor?"

Tetheriss was confused, "Invisible armor?"

"You know! The thing with a hard thing head and the weird-looking thing and the hair thing!"

"Thing?" asked Cold Eye.

"Thing!" screamed Barlog.

"You know... I've seen many ugly monsters in my game past, but you guys are the weirdest..."

"Shut up and tell me where you get those magical items!"

Tetheriss thought about it. "Oh! You mean the cash shop items!"

"Cash shop items?" asked Cold Eye and Barlog.

Tetheriss explained, "Cash shop items are rare items meant to be used for fame and other features of Maple Story. They can only be bought using NX cash."

"Okay..." said Barlog, "And how much mesos does this "NX cash" cost?"

"Oh, it doesn't cost any mesos. You need real American dollars."

Everyone is confused, "What is this 'Amallicon dollas'?" asked Barlog.

"American dollars," corrected Tetheriss.

"Whatever..." he continued, "Can you give us those 'Amaricun Dollurs' to us?"

"WHAT!" Tetheriss cried angrily, "No way I'm giving money to these... monsters!"

"Oh, you will..." Barlog stepped closer, "When you die here, you won't go back to the nearest town..."

Tetheriss gulped.

Barlog continued, "You will keep spawning here and here, and you will keep losing experience and keep dying, dying, choking, dying, dying, crying, and dying."

Tetheriss started crying, "Nooooo! I don't want to be stuck here forever and get raped by these ugly monsters!"

Barlog and Cold Eye twitched their eyes. "Whadda you mean rape? No one said anything about raping. We're just... you know... monsters. We only kill," said Barlog.

"Oh..."

Barlog slapped Tetheriss again. "Ow! What was that for?"

"That... for not keeping this story clean. Sheesh... you humans are filthy!"

"Elixir... please..." Tetheriss was about to die, since he now has 2 HP.

Barlog sighed, "Throw one at him."

Tetheriss's face got smacked by an elixir bottle, healing him. "Please, don't do that again..."

Barlog was getting impatient. "Okay! Enough chit chat! I want those Amaricun Dollus! NOW!"

Tetheriss "gift" Barlog about 30,000 NX cash. The process took 2 hours.

"What took you so long?" complained Barlog.

"Sorry, but... after this fuss and your request... I need a hacking program to actually give you NX cash," he explained.

"Well, at least I have cash now..." said Barlog, "Now what?"

"You go to the Cash Shop."

"Okay, thanks for your help... now, put him in the unloggable dungeon cell!"

"HEY!" cried Tetheriss, as he as being pulled by two Tauromacises.

"What are we gonna do now, milord?" questioned Cold Eye.

"We will attack... after lunch! Taurospear! Get me... my daily special, chop chop!"

A Taurospear with a chef hat came in with a tray of baby green slimes. He placed the trat down near Barlog. As Barlog grabbed a slime, he looked at it.

"Please don't eat me! Have mercy!" it cried.

Barlog had something in his mind and said, "Aww... aren't you one of the cutest goo I've ever seen?"

The slime looked up, "Really?"

"...Cute enough to eat!" he swallowed the baby slime whole in his mouth. "Man... you guys got to try these..."
