A World Deep in Disorder

Chapter Twenty-One: 777

Ok, time for today's fourth chapter. I'm still unable to upload chapters. (Well, I won't be by the time you're reading this, but right now I am). Nothing else to be said… enjoy.

DISCLAIMER: Refer to Chapter Nine's Disclaimer.

Last Time: More light of the current events in the world has been shed, and these aren't good events. The good news: Dark has joined the duo.

Kyle/Alyssa Saga Chapter XV:

…The event at the coliseum has come to be known as the Dark Massacre. It was several days later. Using a small fraction of the money they earned, the three went to the inn everyday. (Despite what one would think that the boys and girls would choose separate room, Dark got his own room, and Kyle and Alyssa shared a room. Alyssa insisted that they needed to be close as possible at all times, even through the night, so Kyle had no problems with it)…

Kyle, Alyssa, and Dark all sat one of their two rooms. Alyssa counted the money. "Well, Grandville's probably lost tourist popularity after that incident… but there may be a better place to find allies." She said. "Great. What is it?" Kyle asked. "Fighter Island, home to some of the most battle-hardened warriors. The seas and air around it however, are extremely rough… and there's only one known boat that could get us there… and the guy who runs the boat gives rides to the island… at a cost of a thousand coins, round trip… per person, paid in advance." Alyssa explained.

"A thousand? That's a bit much, isn't it?" Kyle asked. "Yeah… but it seems that since he's the only one capable of getting to the island as is, he can charge as much as he wants… ten thousand, if need be." Dark said. "Well…how do we manage to rack up three thousand coins from…. How many do we have?" Kyle asked Alyssa.

Alyssa finish counting. "About three hundred and fifty." She said. Kyle sighed. "So we pretty much need about nine times our current amount, and with the coliseum gone? Great…" He muttered. "Well, there IS one other way… the casino." Dark said. Kyle shrugged. "Not much else we can do…" He said. Alyssa nodded. "…What about your brand mark?" She asked. "Yeah… we could run into real trouble with that thing in plain sight…" Kyle stated. Alyssa thought for a minute, and wrapped a bandage around Dark's arm, concealing the brand. "There, now we'll just say you got a big injury… you were, after all, in the dark massacre." She said. Dark nodded. "They still know it's me, though. Isn't it ironic how they called it the 'Dark' massacre? They think it's my fault, because I'm a heretic, and they don't know that Alyssa is like me, but unbranded, and they don't know that you are the very greater god, himself." Dark said.

"Don't worry. Lyss and I'll handle anyone who bothers you." Kyle said, putting his shades on. 'Thanks again, Uncle… I'd probably be dead if it wasn't for these…' He thought after putting on the shades. Dark nodded. "Ok… I'll lead you to the casino." He said, leading the two out of the hotel.

…Ten-ish minutes later…

"Well, here we are." Dark said, motioning to the inside of the vast casino. It had everything you would expect from a casino, and then some. Thankfully, the three reached the casino without any problems.

Kyle and Alyssa sat down at the slot machines. Kyle took fifty coins. "I'm feeling lucky…" He said. "Kyle… are you sure putting in all of that at once is a good idea?" Dark asked. "No. But I'm doing it anyways." Kyle replied shoving all fifty coins into the slot machine and pulling the lever that made it start up. He pulled the lever three more times for stopping each of the reels.

…Lemon

…Apple

…Pie

"Since when did they have pies on the slot machine?" Kyle grumbled, and the other two shrugged. "So now we only have three hundred coins…." Dark sighed. "Well… Let me try my luck." Alyssa stated, grabbing a mighty two hundred coins. "Um…Alyssa…are you, um… sure that is a reasonable amount to gamble at once?" Dark asked. Kyle smirked. "Relax. Lyss knows what she's doing." He said to Dark, as Lyss barely managed to shove the mighty two hundred coin total into the machine. She pulled the level to start it.

"Go get 'em, Lyss!" Kyle exclaimed. Alyssa turned around. "Well, I'll try…" She said. However, when she turned around, she accidentally pulled the lever three times.

Everything was suddenly quiet. Then:

… … … … … …

DINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDING!

The machine began to malfunction, and suddenly, it exploded in a shower of coins… the next fifteen minutes were spent picking up the coins.

"One thousand ninety-six… one thousand ninety-seven… one thousand ninety-eight… one thousand ninety-nine… two thousand!" Alyssa exclaimed, putting the last coin in her everholding pouch.

Dark blinked. "Two thousand down… one thousand to go?" He said unsurely, as if asking a question. Kyle just laughed. "See? I told you she knew what she was doing." He said. Alyssa then took the pouch. "You know… I'm still feeling lucky…" She said, shoving the entire bag of two thousand coins into the machine. Now both Kyle and Dark were shocked. "Um…" Dark began. "Don't worry, I've got this." Alyssa replied, winking at Kyle.

…Five minutes later…

The three were at the front door of the casino. "What do you mean too much winning?" Kyle asked angrily. "Simple… you just shoved… 2,000 coins… into a slot machine… and hit three sevens… do you know how much money you've won? We're going to be robbed blind!" The casino manager yelled. "Could we at least have three or four thousand coins?" Dark asked. The manager seemed to go into deep thought about this. "Pleeeease?" Alyssa asked with puppy-dog eyes. "Ok… four thousand… but no more." The manager said, tossing them their sack, and leaving.

"Heh… sucker." Alyssa grinned, giving Kyle a high-five. "Nice one, Lyss." Kyle said. "Well…this gives us enough, and a whole thousand for ourselves! Let's go, right away!" Ace exclaimed. "Got it…" Kyle said. "Right behind you." Alyssa then added in.

…After staying another night, the three left Grandville in the direction of Coastiand, the city of the ferryman…

…Meanwhile…

"Bah… you just had to insist on taking a left… last time I listen to a sixteen-year-old." Ace said. "Shut up, I KNOW he went this way!" Josh yelled. The two emerged from the forest, and onto the plains. Suddenly, Fog covered the fields, and a Pure Hatred stepped forward. "Ah… a pure hatred… you know, these beings of great evil have been popping all over this area, lately. The silver rogues have nothing to do with them, and it makes me curious…" Ace said. "…And I'd like to test their power…" He then added, transforming into his Sheikah form, and unsheathing his ace blades.

The demon took out his two great cutlasses, and charged Ace, who was rushing forward at the demon. The swords clashed, and it seemed like Ace was winning. Suddenly, the demon grew its two extra arms, and the two extra swords appeared. Ace smirked. "Haven't tried this yet… Double Arms-jutsu!" He exclaimed, as he as well grew two extra arms, and he used those arms to pull out his normal blades.

It was now that Ace's two legendary blades broke through the Demon's two foremost blades, and Ace's second pair of blades was holding off the demon's second pair. This allowed Ace to simply stab the demon in the face with both blades. They both turned red, and suddenly, the demon's flames turned orange, and died out in the wind, fog disappearing shortly after.

Ace sheathed all four of his blades, and made a hand seal, causing his two extra arms to disappear. "Impressive." Josh stated. "Yeah… now let's get going… Grandville isn't far…" Ace replied.
