Chapter 5

After their fantastic and incredible dramatic transformation, the Monstars did not hesitate in showing off the world of Konosuba of their amazing powerful might which is nothing but pure destruction. The five had shamelessly terrorized the villagers by reducing everything in their sights into debris, rubble, and chaos. Every single Adventurer in Axel Belzerg had tried their hand against the Monstars and failed without a doubt while the citizens fled to find a place to hide. And to make things much worse, the lightning storm that the Monstars have created had caused multiple fires in the village after a few constant lighten bolts struck down, leaving a small number of available people to try to put out the insane wildfires. And where were Kazuma and his party at when all of this was going down you ask?.

Well, they were still on the outside basketball court that was destroyed by their opponents as they were watching their village getting half-destroyed and half-burned to the ground. The four looked at the destruction in a deep mixed sigh of pure self-accusations and self-pity amongst themselves, especially for poor Aqua who was rubbing her big red sorely swollen bump on her head that Kazuma had given her after being brought back from the dead. Right before being resurrected for the uncounted time, Kazuma had his talk with Eris who was for the first time glad to see him return to her realm. The pupil of Aqua have known about the whole situation in the fantasy world and after witnessing Shego and her friend's unexplained transformation and making the 'Ultimate Game' quest challenge truly a must need to win, or else she too and everyone and everything in the world of Konosuba will be adapting their new lives of oppression slavery entertainment. She informed Kazuma that they do have an ace up their sleeves which made the teen astonish to both find the perfect solution for their predicament and somehow completely forgot about the person that he and some of the others in the world of Konosuba were extreme huge fans of, despite the majority of the people have zero comprehension of the person's occupation.

"This is going to put us in some more huge ass debt than we are already in. Isn't that right, Kazuma?.", Megumin asked while slowly walking with her friends.

The four walked their way to the Adventures Guild where everyone was currently both taking shelter and getting aid once the Monstars had left the village to go expand their destruction. Kazuma sighed and answered the crimson demon's question with yes, before stopping to see huge carved writing on the ground in flames. The four took the moment to read what it said and had no positive reactions to it. Let alone hated that their challengers had already had that mindset of winning the Ultimate Game.

THE MONSTARS WIN!

AND KONOSUBA LOSES!

"What a bunch of jackasses.", Darkness commented in disgust.

"They just got turned into huge freaking monsters and now they are claiming the outcome of our game. That is a load of shit.", said Aqua, upset and forever regretting binding on themselves.

"Well, I guess you can say that this challenging quest is the mother of all quests. Because now we are in some serious situation.", said Megumin holding her staff tightly.

"Well, for once you guys, we have hope on our side. And it is not going to be just us this time around. Thankfully". said Kazuma, getting all three girls' attention.

"Huh?.", Aqua tilted her head in complete confusion. "What do you mean by that, Kazuma?."

Kazuma looked at his useless goddess and said plainly, "What I mean is that your student, Eris, has informed me that she has a highly recommended person to not only be our fifth party member but also aid us in this basketball game."

Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin had all leaned forward with curious facial expressions and said, "Who?."

Kazuma looked at his best friends and smiled at them. "Two words." Kazuma put up two fingers for each word. "John King."

Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin took the time to remember someone who has that name as the name itself sounded too familiar. The three gave it a good thought until it popped into their heads like a magic explosion and spoke in pure extreme excitement and extreme glee. "John King!."

Adventurer Guild

"JOHN KING?!"

Luna, along with all injured beginner Adventurers and villagers spoke in high hope after hearing the solution that Kazuma and his team have shared with them.

"Wait, is that even possible?. Are we seriously able to bring NBA Legend/Hall of Famer, John King to our world with no problem?.", asked Chris, who showed her enthusiasm and fangirl attitude to the others.

"Well, yeah, actually. Eris told me that Aqua is the only one capable of bringing JK to our world," said Kazuma, taking a sip of his beer.

"Oh, wow, I can not believe we can actually get to meet and greet John King and help us win this quest.", spoke a happy female villager.

"Man, we are definitely going to see some real mad playing when we get the only undefeated NBA player in our world.", spoke a silver armored male knight.

"Um, guys, quick question.", Yunyun caught everyone's attention with her nervous voice to her surprise. "How is Aqua going to summon John here?. I mean, she isn't a goddess or anything."

"Excuse me.", Aqua stood up from her seat with a frown face. "Don't forget I'm an archpriest, Yunyun. And furthermore, I keep telling you and everyone else in this lousy fantasy world that I truly am the water goddess Aqua!."

"Yeah, and which that foolish talk had caused you and your party to get forever banned from ever stepping foot in Alcanretia, for destroying their number one income by purposely purifying all of their famous beautiful hot springs. Even though you guys have saved those crazy-ass people from being killed by one of the Devil King's generals who was secretly polluting their waters.", said a male laborer.

"That and you are amazingly drunk. People around here calling you, Lady Aqua the booze drinker.", pointed out Ruffian, who was leaning his back up against a pillar with his arms folded. He grinned at Aqua as he too wanted to get in on poking fun of the self-proclaimed goddess.

This caused Aqua to slightly tear up while fighting back the urge to break out crying immaturely or like a spoiled little girl.

"But seriously though, Aqua, how are you going to summon 'The Streak King' here?. Because last time I checked, we don't have that thing that those Monstars used to get here.", Vanir asked in seriousness.

Aqua snapped out from her train of thought. She looked at the former general and said, "It's quite simple really. I just need to use this village's massive water fountain to make a two-way magical transportation portal from John's world to our world. And second, I need John to get close to any water fountain and he'll be here!."

"That sounds good and all but how are we going to lure him in to do so?.", questioned Megumin, taking a bite of her fried frogs that she is currently sharing with her sister.

"Agree. What are the chances that he will be at a place near any water fountains?.", asked Darkness, who was eager to officially meet John and welcome him as her new party member.

Kazuma sat down his empty beer mug. "Oh, I already took care of that. While I was with Eris and after she told me how Aqua can summon John, I took the liberty of requesting a laptop and emailed him through his charity organizations. Eris informed me that John is going to host his charity for the homeless families at his owned country club. She says that every homeless family will receive free food, free clothes, and free everything including meeting and taking a picture with John, tomorrow afternoon. And so, I made up a convincing story of how poor and homeless my family is and requested him to meet up at the water fountain. And yes, I know that that was low on my part, but once we explain our current situation, he'll understand and help us out."

"Yeah, and after all, John is extremely well known for being a super down-to-earth kinda guy and being an exceedingly good samaritan.", pointed out Wiz, with a smile.

"True.", said everyone in the Adventurer Guild, both agreeing and not denying that statement for one second.

The King's Household

John woke up after both hearing and turning off his morning alarm clock. He stretched a little bit before getting out of his bed and fixed his side of the bed before heading to the bathroom to take care of his business. After done urinating and getting a shower, John took the time to brush and floss his teeth before using his TheraBreath mouthwash before heading out of the house to get himself and Betty some breakfast before picking her up. At that moment, Gwen got up out of the bed and walked into their luxurious bathroom, and greeted her beloved husband with a passionate kiss on the lips before heading over to use the toilet. As soon as she sat down to go pee, Gwen can not help but say something important to her John before he leaves home and return later from his practice with Betty and get done with his charity event.

"Remember that the football is a basketball only except that it is a prolate spheroid shaped and can only be thrown and not bounce.", Gwen looked at her husband who looked right back at her before turning back to the sink to spit the mouthwash out.

"I'll keep that in mind, Gwen. Thanks for sharing your advice with me.", said John, giving his wife his full attention.

"It's not really advice, John. It is more of a tip.", informed Gwen as she smiled at her man. "But don't worry, you'll get the hang of it eventually. Hopefully."

John can only nod before heading out of the bathroom to get into his football workout outfit which is a black spandex short sleeve shirt and black jogging pants. Once done putting on his white none football cleats shoes, John grabbed his bowling bag and a change of clothes and shoes before heading down to go get inside his car. Upon arriving downstairs he saw both his sons on the living room couch playing NBA2K31 on the Xbox One X while seeing his daughter playing with the family's beloved dog on the floor. Now, John knows that Huey, Riley, and Jazmine would usually go to the backyard and play ball on the basketball court like every other friday while letting their mom play on the Xbox or watch tv. As the loving and caring father that John is, he was concerned and dared to say something.

"Uh, hey you guys. Do you three mind telling me why you guys aren't outside in the background playing basketball on the court?.", asked John, before making the brothers pause their game while the baby sister stopped playing with the dog and got up off the floor.

"Well, Dad, Mom says that until the whole 'Basketball Virus' situation is under control the three of us won't be playing physical basketball," said Huey, being okay with that.

"Plus, all four of our grandparents called Mom on not letting us play basketball under any circumstances," said Riley, scratching his head a little bit.

Then Jazmine played with one of her afro puffs before saying with anxiety, "Daddy, how long will this new virus last?."

John took a quick moment of thinking up a good answer to ease his daughter's mindset and not frighten her. "Well, my little IHOP pancake, this virus is only temporary and homeless. Nothing seriously bad is going to happen. You feel me?."

Jazmine's facial expression went from apprehension to a sigh of relief and cheerfully smiled at her old man, "I feel ya, Daddy!. Have fun at your charity event. Tell Mr. Dourif and Ms. Tilly that I say hi for me, please?."

"No problem, Jazmine. Those two have always talked about you every time we meet up for hangouts or on the movie set," said John, turning around and heading his way out of the door.

"Hey, how is that screenplay for the next Chucky movie coming, Dad?." asked Huey, who was eager to know as he stopped his dad from exiting out of the house.

John walked back before remembering back from last night on his laptop. He remembered working on that script and tried his best to make his next horror film far more horrifying and straight. Since after all he did buy the entire Child's Play franchise and as such became the writer and director of the last few films, after getting his first shot at Hollywood with this franchise. And it all thanks to his undefeated streak in the NBA and gained huge payment from his occupational contract while being a multipreneur, and having multiple franchise commercials. Let alone taking an odd hobby of investing in the stock markets, which by the way is quite amazing since he is one of the rare lucky few who never loses any money despite what is going on in the global stock market.

"Mmmm, it's coming along nicely, Huey. The screenplay should be ready in the next year or less. Well, I'm not going to let Betty wait on me much longer than she has to. You three be good now. Tell your mom that I'll see if I can make it home on time for tonight's dinner." said John, before hugging and petting his dog goodbye.

"Okay, cool, Dad. Do you want us to remind Mom to make some of her famous yummy stuff burgers?.", Riley asked his dad while resume playing with Huey on the console.

"It ain't Burger Friday Madness without stuffed hamburgers.", John kissed Lola on her nose before heading out to the front door. "Oh, and tell your mom to make at least a dozen of her famous stuffed burgers, so me and Lola can share together. Isn't that right, Lola?."

The giant female Alaskan Malamute happily barked at the sound of that before dropping back down on all fours. Once saying goodbye to his kids and his dog, John excited out of the house and jumped inside into his black Cadillac, and drove out. Upon driving he drove up to one of the customed Bojangles that he owns and ordered himself two sausage biscuits and a bottle of orange juice, and ordered Betty two cajun biscuits with a medium-sized Bo-rounds and a large cup of sweet ice tea. And that was after Betty texted him of what she liked to eat at Bojangles. After finished paying, thanking, and happily making short talk with his fun happy employees, John drove out of the drive-through and made his way to the neighborhood where Betty lives. It took about five minutes to reach the neighborhood and drove his way to look for the young girl who says she was going to be standing outside on her porch.

It took the former NBA player one right turn and drove all the way down to find his favorite fangirl who is wearing one of the NBA Charlotte Hornets dark purple merchandise variety t-shirt that has his last name on the back, along with his signature infinite jersey number on the front and back. On the front of the shirt in bold white bold letters says about John which he can back up that statement throughout the years of playing basketball as everyone in the world can agree as to the shirt itself clearly and plainly says, 'All Hail The King!'. Betty grinned when seeing John pulled in front of her house before stepping down the steps to get in the car. Just when they drove off, John turned on the radio and listen to Bobby Brown's extended version of his 'Every Little Step' music before handing Betty's breakfast. Betty thanked him right before eating her tasty meal and drinking her sweet tea.

"Alright, Betty, let's get this started shall we?.", said John, looking at his left blindside before driving to the left lane.

"That's the kinda attitude that I love to hear, Mr. King. And if you want we can cut our practice pretty short or skip today's morning practice and make it up tomorrow morning. It's up to you"., said Betty, before taking another bite of one of her cajun biscuits.

John can help but to smile at those options. In truth, he really wanted to take a day off from football practice and focus more on his today's charity event and have fun bowling. The only sport besides basketball that he loves to play and enjoy. Without further thought, he agreed with the idea of just skipping the whole day of practice and drove them to his owned public country club which is located in South Carolina. Before driving all the way to the place where his country club is located, John offered Betty to drive his car. Without a doubt or any hesitation, Betty took that opportunity and drive down the highway with a big grin. Thus, given John, the chance to sit on the passenger side and take a fourth look at the message he received from his charity event organization personal email.

John read the message and could not believe what it reads. The message came from a male teen who wants his name to be anonymous saying that when he was at least four in a half, his mom and dad were in huge debt with the bank and was unable to afford the house payments after both getting laid off from their jobs without reason. Then it reads on saying that the bank came to their house and kicked them out without even giving them a single notice which made John very upset to read since he remembered an old friend from his old neighborhood have that similar life. He continued reading on to read about the teen stealing clothes and anything from the Goodwill and selling them for money, and then turning around to buy food for his mother, father, and sister who is now currently living in a van. John responded back to the boy by saying that he is sorry for his and his family's misfortune and would really like to meet them, and work something out with the bank since he does own a few banks in both North and South Carolina, and hopefully that own that one.

"Hey, Mr. King?.", Betty getting her hero's attention as he said yes with interest. "Soooooo, what was the real grudge between yourself and LeBron James?. My Mom and Dad said it was because you keep beating him in both the regular season and the finals."

With that question in mind, John put his phone back into his pocket before thinking back about his first and only heated grudge in the NBA with LeBron. The memory between himself and the forever-banned Ex-NBA player was fresh in his mind with great disappointment. Betty waited patiently for her answer as this was a much-needed to know question as a fan and a person. John relaxed into his seat facing the front with the mindset of answering his new friend.

"Your mom and dad are right on that part. Everyone knows that LeBron is a sore loser. In my first year in the NBA, I played against him on week four and beat him by twenty points. And after when the game was over, I told him to thank him for giving us a good game and reminded him that basketball is not about winning but having fun. Then one thing leads to another he punched me right in the face and we and the team started fighting. Then in the same year, we crossed paths in the finals which was the first time for the Hornets, I saw him fussing and throwing a tantrum like a spoiled five-year-old towards his team when we were way up in the score on the second quarter and I came over him and said that he is in a professional league and he needs to act like a professional and work out a strategy with his teammates. And in return, he cussed me out telling me that I need to stay on my side of the court and stay in a rookie place, and while telling me to mind my fucking business." said John, irritated on that memory.

"That is so typical of LeBron James.", Betty shook her head in shame while being irritated as well. "You were trying to be a good sport to that jerk and he attacked you. I remember on tv a few years back when you appeared in the finals for the fourth time in the roll, you faced LeBron again and you beat his high score record which he originally beat Michael Jordan's, and you set the bar that many can only dream of reaching."

John scratched his head and said, "True, and once it was halftime after it was announced that I both beaten LeBron's record and made the recent record unreachable to beat, he forcibly threw the basketball right at the back of my head and made me hit the floor face first. On that night, I myself and my teammates have to pull Big Mike off from killing LeBron in a bloody fight. LeBron was going to meet Jesus Christ if I haven't managed to talk Big Mike down. Last but not least, at a CIAA game event, I brought my kids to come to watch the game with me since, at that time, I wanted to greet and give an inspirational speech to the college basketball players. Which so happens to be my old college basketball team facing LeBron's college team. But anyway, my daughter took it upon herself to make peace between me and LeBron by coming to him in one of the skyboxes and try to get him to sign his merchandise items that she bring. Instead of being a hero to my baby girl, he flipped her off and tell her to go get me to pay for him to sign them. And my daughter did not like what she was hearing and kicked him in the leg. In response that bastard asshole punched Jazmine in the face and attacked my boys after they found and saw what had happened and jumped on him to protect their baby sister."

"Shit.", Betty drove out of the highway to continue head. "And what did you do?. I mean, who informed you about your kids getting hurt by that heartless jerk?."

"Easy. I was looking for my kids after I returned from the bathroom, and MJ rushed into the skybox and told me what is happening. Every security guard in that arena including Michael Jordan had to pull me from killing that joker. That is right after I beat his ass down. The NBA has had enough of his ass and banned him from the organization and the Lakers fired him after they got the first word. There is a lot of things that LeBron and I bumped heads about but I prefer not to go any deeper.", informed John, before turning up the volume on the radio.

Betty nodded and did not say anything that starts with LeBron and ends with James. She never did like the Ex-NBA superstar despite him being good on the court. But compared to John, he was not so down to earth and not caring enough for the needy. Betty loved John the most since he told her that a few reality shows have been bothering him about doing his own reality show, but denied them so many times as he refused to show off his wealth and luxury and did not want anyone to feel unfortunate or feel poverty-stricken. John is indeed a true example of an honest saint and boy scout all rolled into one.

With a final turn, they drove down to the public country club that John owns as the place is fifty thousand acres along with having both the massive country clubhouse and a massive resort. Betty could not believe her eyes as she is seeing one of the famous country clubs in the world. She dreamed of going to John's famous resort that was affordable to stay in and be a member as she wanted to sign her dad up for a membership as a holiday gift. John's country club has its two main incomes besides the resort and other things, it is his famous difficult challenge but yet fun eighteen-hole golf course and two hundred bowling lanes in his super bowling alley which splitting the lanes in half with the first hundred lanes on the first floor, and the other hundred lanes on the second floor. Right under the third floor where the ballroom is located.

"This place is legit.", Gwen spoke after getting out of the car to let John change into his bowling outfit.

John came around from the other side of his car wearing his Bioworld Godzilla 1954 black and a white-themed black t-shirt with a pair of black jean shorts, and black bowling shoes from one of his wife's shoes factories that she owns. He smiled at what Betty is referring to as 'Legit' while carrying his bowling bag with a strap on his shoulder.

"It was my wife and I's idea of having a combined country club and a resort. We wanted to have something for both family and adults to enjoy. So we decided to do both and I named this wonderful place, Gwendolyn Country Club Resort. You see, I used my wife's full name to make this place have an excellent ring to it.", said John, leading the way inside.

Upon entering the impressive massive building, Betty had her eyes everywhere on the beautiful interior of the country club resort. The floors were luxury red gold gemstone glitter marble that was shiny wax making her see her reflection. Next, she saw the walls of the bowling alley had the Charlotte Hornets' home colors along with its huge logo on the front of the whole bowling alley. But what stand out the most was the country club resort's main center pool-sized navy blue water fountain with a black medium-sized sculpture of a pair of hands holding a red bowling ball that has its three holes shooting out water. Let alone the whole fountain is made of pure pearls. John guided Betty to his private alley lane that he used for holding his private business meetings or making deals with people, while they play a few rounds of bowling and had fun doing it without any distractions or snooping around.

John and Betty approached and opened the sliding door that reads in bold golden capitalized words, 'MEMBERS ONLY', and entered inside to find two familiar people who were at the first alley talking amongst each other. Betty got super excited when immediately recognizing both Brad Dourif and Jennifer Tilly, while John started a conversation with his friends after done hugging them. Brad wore a black and grey striped collar shirt with blue jean shorts and a black straw hat, and black bowling shoes. As for Jennifer, she wore a pink breast cancer awareness t-shirt that had the ribbon symbol while wearing a pair of blue jean shorts and pink bowling shoes.

"John, the three of us have got to hang out together way more than usual.", Jennifer said before handing John a Coke soda can drink. "We need to go on a gateway trip with our families and go do some poler playing. We only live once you know."

"No lie.", started Brad, when grabbing his custom bowling ball to polish. "Say, how is that next Chucky screenplay coming along?."

John chuckled. "My son asked the same question before I left the house. It should be ready by next year. But besides that, I would like for you two to meet Betty. Betty?."

Brad and Jennifer both turned to see the young adult standing in front of them. Betty had her mouth gasped with no sound coming out as she is speechless to say. However, the two legendary Hollywood superstars managed to break the girl's fear and got Betty to be comfortable enough to talk to them and be able to play a few rounds of good old bowling. Hours have gone by for the four as it is the afternoon time. So far none of them have yet to score a strike but managed to keep the game interesting with John being in second, Brad in first, Jennifer in third, and Betty in last. Overall the four were having a good time neither less. Currently, Jennifer threw her ball in the lane and hold her position when her ball rolled its way into the gutter. Brad and John watched their best friend still holding that throw position as if she hopes that her ball would jump out and knock down the pins. Like always they were used to the woman's silly attempt to have hope in winning in a bowling alley many times.

"Uh, Jen?. Your ball is not going to jump out of the gutter and take down all the pins.", informed John who was shaking his head in tired amusement.

Jennifer broke her throw position and frowned at missing the pins twice. She snapped her fingers before walking back. "Damn it."

"I still say you did great, Ms. Tilly.", said Betty, when walking her way to go take her turn again.

"Thanks for the lie, Betty. You sure know how to make my day," said Jennifer, in sarcasm while grabbing a seat beside John.

As the two watched Betty get her turn at knocking down the pins, Jennifer took the right moment to discuss what is happening in the world today. Mainly being about the NBA. Again.

"It's a sign you know, John.", Jennifer got John's attention who had a plain look on his face. "A sign for a change in the NBA. Let's face it, your basketball best friends have lost their careers because of this new virus. Michael Jordan needs to look at fresh players to sign and play for his team. And I'm not talking about those kids in college either."

John looked at Jennifer with an eyebrow raised and a 'Please Don't Tell Me You Are Talking About Yourself' facial expression. "Someone like you, Jennifer?."

Jennifer grinned with a nod. "Well, why not?. I can make that uniform look good on me. That and I think that I can get your former team to the playoffs and finals. Plus, it is time for me to explore another career. A career that guarantees me a paycheck whether I play or not."

"Jen.", John looked at his best friend and said with honesty. " Forget it. You are not capable of playing basketball much less have the proper body for it."

"It's because I am a woman?. Isn't?.", Jennifer asked with a look of her on her face.

John slightly laughs. "Um, have you heard of the Women's National Basketball Association?. Aka the WNBA?."

"Pffft, that is nothing more than a sexist organization and you know that John. Why not both the opposite sex play under one organization?."

"Quiet in the back, please," said Brad, being too focused on trying to land a strike, after Betty had played her turn.

John and Jennifer stayed quiet enough to continue their conversation.

"That is because us men play too rough and too inconsiderate with the woman basketball players. That is chaos just begging to happen," said John.

Jennifer rolled her eyes in response before letting him get up to go play his turn. Brad grabbed his beer and sat down on the single seat watching John with the others. While trying to let Jennifer down easy on the idea of her playing in the NBA. Telling her to stick with her Hollywood and poker career. John grabbed his custom bowling ball that had the Japanese name version of Konosuba and approached his way to the alley lane. Little did John or anyone else knows that Kazuma and Aqua were watching them but mostly John through their water fountain. The two beloved anime characters watched them bowl for hours and noticed that it was their last round before heading home. They watched John took a deep breath before slightly running towards the lane and threw his ball down.

John and the others watched his ball roll the way down the lane and did not notice Kazuma activating his luck skill on the ball. John's ball was rolling its way to the side but managed to roll in the middle with pick-up speed. It excited the retired NBA player as well as the others who could not believe that the ball is rolling straight to the pins.

"Come on baby," said John, leaning to the side with hope on his face.

"This might be the winner.", commented Brad, feeling himself getting excited.

"That is one lucky ass bowling ball," said Jennifer, already feeling the aftermath of the final round.

Betty crossed her fingers in hopes that her hero will score big. "This It!."

BOOM!!!!!

The ball made contact with all the pins which caused John to jump up happy to win the bowling game that he sometimes wins.

"Game!.", John approached his friends and high-fived them.

Kazuma and Aqua smirked and gave each other the thumbs up before getting ready to bring their new party member to their world. After done finishing up the four-headed out to head to the big fountain for John to meet and get pictures taking with the homeless families. Betty eyed the water of the fountain and felt uneasy about it for some strange reason. John noticed this after done talking with the photographer and approached his young friend who is holding his bowling bag. He reached into his pocket to take out a quarter before flipping it into the water which grabbed her attention.

"Betty relax. It's only a water fountain," said John, with a friendly smile.

"Yeah, but still…", Betty did not have the words to describe what she is feeling.

As soon as they turned their backs from the fountain the water began to glow blue and started to quiet bubble. The photographer got himself and his equipment ready for picture taking as all of the homeless families lined up to get their pictures taken with John. A homeless mom, dad, and daughter approached John who greeted them with much kindness and talked with them with a positive attitude, and short motivating speech before getting themselves positioned for the picture taken. Betty, Brad, and Jennifer standard back with the photographer and watched John do what does best, besides being a legendary basketball player hall of famer. And that is putting smiles on their faces.

Once the photographer told them to hold still for the picture, Aqua made her summon chant and caused the water to pull out a pair of extra giant hands made of water, and quickly snatched John and pulled him right on in with the blink of an eye. It caused everyone to blink after hearing a loud splash noise being made as no one had a clue as to what just happened. Let alone what happened to John. Jennifer looked at the photographer and demanded to know if he was some undercover assassin before grabbing his digital camera, and then threw it out of her way after it was pointing at her which angered the woman. Betty, on the other hand, is in some deep fear of what just happened and started panicking like a mad girl.

"Oh, shit!. Mr. King?!." cried out Betty.

"What the actual fuck?.", Brad asked without an answer.

Speaking of John who was currently was going through a colorful blue portal made of water at high-speed spinning while yelling out in fear excitement in water. His eyes can not blink for anything as it was a must-see experience. He thought he was going to meet Jesus Christ based on how lightful it was in front of him but doubt it because he is being pulled by water and not losing any oxygen. Eventually, he reached the other end and hollered when finding himself in the air and sky flying straight down after the pair of water hands was off his shoulders. John found himself landing back of the head first with a loud thud.

After a few seconds, John managed to lift himself off the hard ground sat up with his eyes trying to adjust his surroundings. His eyes have caught a figure in front of him but can not make it out due to being dizzy and feel like passing out, but managed not to do so.

"Hey, I would be very careful on taking that last step if I were you, John. It is a real doozy." said a familiar voice.

John's eyes managed to stop being dizzy and focused on what was in front of him. John looked at the person in front of him and raised his eyebrow in both confusion and disbelief. "Kazuma Sato?."

Kazuma looked at John with a smile and shrugged his shoulders. "Well, who you were expecting?. Naruto Uzumaki?."
