Adventures of Jack

Chapter Three

GoldDragonZ: I like the story. It's based on me and a few of my friends. If you don't like the story, that's fine. If you like it, then that's awesome.

Jack, Gadanza and Tom were on the bridge of the Tensa Zangetsu.

"What do you think?" Tom asked. "Are you going to help the High Five?"

"Are you sure you don't want the Easter egg?" Gadanza asked.

"Justin needs this." Jack replied. "We need to get him to play. We can help him level up."

"Yeah, but I still want to know what's in the egg." Tom said.

"It looks like they are more interested in you Jack," Gadanza said. "We are just your lackeys."

"Yeah, they don't give a two shit flying fuck about me and John." Tom said. "They only think that you and Aech can make something that can catch the hacker."

"Yeah, but you guys are my friends." Jack replied. "I want you guys to work with me."

"For Justin's sake, maybe we should help them." Gadanza said. "They can help us since they are the richest people in the OASIS."

"Yeah, for Justin's sake." Jack said.

"Okay fine." Tom replied, but he was still kind of skeptical. "Let's do it."


The computer was linked to the OASIS. Vladislav Volkovskis input several commands into his computer. He looked at various races that were going on. Halliday had hid this new Easter egg too well. There was nothing he could do as people kept beating him at races. One was Art3mis, who kept getting first place. The High Five were all meddling in his plans. He did not know how they knew about this Easter egg, but they did. Now he needed something special in order to beat them. But where could he find it? He needed to ask someone else knew much about racing vehicles.

The question was who.

Vladislav was known on the OASIS as Lynx. He knew how to bend the rules of the system. He knew how to command the world to grant him many special items and speeds for his vehicles. He had studied other people who played the game and followed their example. He was one of the few people who won two keys for the main Easter egg that Halliday had left after his death. He had failed at completing the last challenge to get the last key. He was livid that Parzival was the only person to achieve the last goal and achieve the key to open the gate. He had wanted to beat it himself. He had his own chat room where he kept all of his gadgets, spells, clothing and vehicles. He had one friend that he usually played with named Tridosk. They had gone to school together. Tridosk's real name was Lewis Rogers. They were really skilled players and usually beat whoever they were up against. That was especially the case for Lynx. But the High Five were something else entirely. The lived to play games and excelled at it. And then they made the stupid rules where the OASIS would be closed every Tuesday and Thursday to allow people to live their lives in the real world. This made it necessary for people to go to normal jobs and school to bide their time. Lynx worked as a salesman and also drove an armoured truck during his daily life. At night, he was Lynx: The Game Bender. His Avatar was War- Machine and could summon different technologies from different content like video games, comics, or movies. Tridosk's Avatar was a reptilian humanoid. His main weapon attached to his hip was Robocop's pistol, the Auto 9 which was built from a Beretta 93R. He had greens scales and orange eyes with black slits for irises. On his back was Spawn's Ax called Agony. His armour was yellow and white. He had grenades strapped to the bottom of his uniform on his legs as well. He had three toes on each foot, and three fingers on each hand. He also had claws on all of his limbs. His teeth were razor sharp and white. His tongue flicked in and out of his mouth every so often.

"What race is next?" Tridosk hissed to Lynx. "We've tried everything."

"We have only spaceships left." Lynx said. "I have picked my ship."

"Is that really the ship you want to race with?" Tridosk asked as he spotted the ship that Lynx was going to use.

It was an alien ship from Independence Day. However, there were several modifications added to it. It had yellow racing stripes appended to its hull. Also, there was a cat face painted on the hull to the front.

"It's the best thing that I have." Lynx said. "I upgraded the weapons and the boosters as well as the shields. Everything is pro. I'm no scrub noob."

"Nice." Tridosk hissed. "Maybe I should race as well."

"What ship do you have?" Lynx asked, interested and curious about what his friend would be piloting.

"I have a black and white TIE Interceptor."

"Nice."

"When's the race?"

"It'll start in a few days, if my data is complete."

He started his virtual computer. It had been on, computing the likelihood of when the next race would be to find the Easter egg.


Jack_100292402 (Mark Patel) had a normal day just going to school, talking to friends and thinking about the races that he needed to be a part of in order to find the Easter egg. He reached his home in record time, however it was a Thursday and the OASIS would be closed for the day. He searched his fridge for something to eat. He pulled out something that was left over from the previous day and put it in the microwave. He then flopped on the couch and waited for his food to be ready. He thought about what riches would be behind the Easter egg that Halliday had made. How did the High Five and Lynx find out about the Easter egg to begin with? It was a question that was not easily answered. He waited for his brother and sister to come home. When they did, he told them about what was going on. His brother was thrilled at the prospect of winning something. His sister did not race so she pouted.

"Hell yeah I want to race and win." Mark's brother said.

Mark's brother's name was Rodney Patel. His sister's name was Alexandra Patel. Alexandra was interested in fashion, so she only hung out with other people in the OASIS who liked dressing up and making costumes of their own design. She was also interested in Makeup as well. She was seven years younger than Mark. This means she was ten years old. She was part of a huge clan that were interested in similar things that she was interested in. She was very famous as she had an eye for beautiful things. Her Avatar was a pink haired princess that wore a light orange summer dress. She also wore high-heel shoes that would have costed hundreds of dollars in the real world. Her skin colour was tanned. She was a very beautiful woman on the OASIS. The OASIS was designed to weed out those who were not the appropriate ages. It asked certain questions that only adults could possibly know. There were people who were honest about their age as well. Although her Avatar was beautiful, she could not go to certain places to meet men who were significantly older than her as they might prey upon her. That being said, Alexandra was not concerned in the slightest about getting a boyfriend at the time, because after all, she was only ten years old. Alexandra's name on the OASIS was M3rc3d3s.

Rodney was part of a clan that included his friends and several other people that he knew from other countries. He was interested in combat ranging from firefights to martial arts. He was the best of the best, but followed the rules to a Tee. His Avatar was an Indian Male wearing Blue and black armour similar to Mass Effect N7 Armour. He had short black hair with navy blue highlights. On his hip was a pistol similar in design to the pistol from Halo: Combat Evolved. On his back there was a small grenade launcher, an AA-12 shotgun, and an assault rifle similar to Halo: Combat Evolved in design. Over his eyes was Ray-Ban Sunglasses that had reflective lenses. Rodney's name in the OASIS was Tankor_117. Similar to Mass Effect, he had bionic/telekinetic powers in the OASIS. There was a limit to how much time he could take to use his powers. He also had a force field permanently applied to his armour that he could control. When in battle, he could activate it. When he was just palling around with his friends, he did not need to use it.

Both of his siblings had access to the Tensa Zangetsu and they could use anything that Mark had on board his ship. He did not want to become part of a clan so he did not let them bring anyone else on board. Alexandra had her own room on the ship where she stored dresses, wigs, shoes, pants, shirts, jackets, and anything else she created or bought. Rodney had weapons and different modifications for different weapons. He also had his own fleet of vehicles that he might need. Mark was allowed to borrow things from his siblings as well. His sister however, did not make clothes for men, so he was out of luck in that side of things, but he would often ask her about clothing choices that he would be making if he needed to go somewhere in the OASIS that required him to wear something different.

However, this was bigger than himself. Finding the new Easter egg required a group effort. Mark decided that he needed to tell his siblings about the High Five and Lynx. So he waited for his siblings to come home. First his sister came in. He fixed her something to eat as well. He then waited for his brother to come home. Finally, half an hour later, Rodney came in.

"Yo Markey." Rodney said playfully. "Hey, Alexi."

"Sup Rod." Mark said. "Guys, I have something to tell you."

And so, Mark began to tell his siblings about the Easter egg that Halliday hid on one of the racing tracks that he had hidden really well. He told them about the hacker named Lynx and how the High Five was against him because of how he bent the rules of the OASIS.

"Why tell us if they don't want a lot of people knowing about this?" Alexandra asked. "I'm not into racing either."

"I can't keep things from you guys." Mark said. "You guys are important to me."

"Okay, so when is the next race?" Rodney asked.

"The Tensa Zangetsu is figuring out the logical next step would be." Mark replied. "It's only a matter of time before we are told when it is. The High Five are using their resources as well to determine the location of the Easter egg."

"Good luck guys." Alexandra said, before excusing herself to wash up her dish with a sponge and soap. "I have homework to do."

"Yeah, me too." Rodney said.

"Okay." Mark was left in the living room with his thoughts.

Did he do the right thing by telling his siblings about the new Easter egg no one heard of besides this Lynx person and the High Five?


School was boring, but his friends were hyper because they would find out about what race they would need to participate in so that they could find the Easter egg. Justin could not care less.

"We're going to win the egg." Tom said. "We're doing it for you, Justin."

"You guys don't have to do it." Justin said. "I like being in the Real World. What is there in the OASIS that I can't get here?"

"You have no idea!" John said. "Mark has his own ship with robot servants."

"You can watch movies, play games, dance, do homework, and other things in the OASIS." Mark said. "You can literally do anything and everything."

"Okay, if you guys think it's a good idea, I'll get one." Justin said. "The only problem is I don't have money to buy one yet."

"We'll think of something." Mark replied.


Mark hurried home. He ate something, and then did some homework. He needed to do it because he did not want to be left behind in school. He then changed his clothes into the X-1 suit that let him feel everything that happened in the OASIS. He turned on his Console and put on the Head set over his eyes. His Heads up Display turned on, and he chose to spawn on the Tensa Zangetsu. He looked at his computer and there was a message from Parzival. He opened the message.

"Hey Jack," Parzival said. "We think we found where the next race is going to be. Your ship is really close to it. I'm sending you the coordinates now. It's a race between spaceships."

Attached to the message was the coordinates to the final race that Lynx would be part of. Jack opened his computer on board his ship and it told him something similar. He then opened a communication feed to talk to John/Gadanza, his brother Tankor_117 and Tom_001. He told them about where the race would be held. His brother was not home as of yet so he could only leave a message. His other friends however were available. The race was going to start. His brother finally entered their home and rushed to his console, turning it on. He entered the OASIS and read the message, spawning on board the Tensa Zangetsu.

"What are you going to use?" Jack asked Tankor.

"I'm going to use The Batmobile from Batman Beyond," Tankor replied. "I've modified it so that it could fly in space. What ship are you going to use?"

"I'm going to use my trusty X-wing." Jack replied. "I've modified it to go faster than before."

"Nice." Tankor said. "Let's meet the others."


Tankor, Jack, Gadanza and Tom met at the starting line. They found that the High Five were there in ships of their own. Art3mis was in a red ship similar in design to Spike Spiegel's ship from Cowboy Bebop the Swordfish II. Parzival and Aech were co-piloting The Nebuchadnezzar from the Matrix Trilogy. Daito and Shoto co-piloted the Starfighter Gunstar from the Last Starfighter. Lynx was at the starting line with his ship from Independence Day. Tridosk was there as well with his TIE Interceptor. There were other players there as well piloting different ships. There were players piloting the Millennium Falcon, Serenity, The Outlaw Star, and others. Gadanza was piloting an orange Wraith from StarCraft. Tom was piloting an UNSC C-709 Longsword Interceptor from Halo: Combat Evolved. For the race, you were not supposed to use weapons of any kind including mines, missiles or laser bolts. So, Jack made sure to place all of the energy from his quad lasers to his engines so that he would go faster. He revved his engine so hear and feel the vibration of the vessel. His R2 unit beeped several times. Jack waited and saw the countdown in his Heads-Up Display.

"I hope you guys are ready." Parzival messaged Jack, Tom, and Gadanza. "We need to see what Lynx is going to do. I think he knows what needs to be done to get the Easter egg."

"Roger that." Jack said.

The countdown began. And then the ships were off, peeling away as fast as they could all go. The raceway opened up with bright lights to the right and left. It looked like they were going through space very quickly. They went through a wormhole that opened in front of them. Clouds of dust flew past them. Lynx was in the front. He opened up a compartment in the back of his ship. Bright light shone out behind him, blinding most the other players.

"If he thinks that's going to be enough, then he's got another thing coming." Jack spoke to himself. "R2, scan the space in front of us. You can be our eyes."

"Yes sir." The message sprawled on one of the screens that were in the cockpit.

The robot stationed just behind Jack scanned the environment. It knew when to turn and adjusted the controls for Jack. Even though he could not see, his R2 unit could. He also witnessed as there was a sharp turn just up ahead. He pulled back to adjust his steering and also had to dodge as two ships slipped past him, crashing into the edge of the track. Jack turned sharply, after Lynx did. Somehow, the other racers were also compensating for their lack of vision. Eventually the bright light dimmed and they were able to see again. Jack pushed the throttle and witnessed the two front ships, Lynx and Art3mis do battle against each other. They rammed into each other, Lynx on the right, and Art3mis on the left. They were fighting to get ahead of each other. Jack snuck up on them, and then he was overshadowed by Parzival and The Nebuchadnezzar. He pulled back, giving the ship a wide berth. He did not want to get in the way of Parzival and Aech. The front gun turret opened up. Lead slugs rammed into the back of Lynx's ship, however disappeared in green sparks as they fell against the energy shields that protected the ship.

"How does that make sense?" Jack asked himself. "He could ram into the other ship and not activate his shields? This guy is truly a great player and perhaps a master hacker. I hope Parzival and Aech know what they are doing, breaking the rules like this."

Jack then decided that he needed to concentrate on winning the race. He told his R2 unit to make all his energy be put into his engines. Then, the track started to shift and turn. Tom slammed into the wall, and his ship exploded killing him. Jack started sweating profusely. He had to pull his ship back and watch as several more players crashed. He turned right and left following The Nebuchadnezzar closely, veering right and left with the space track. And then, Jack became aware that on the right and left there were images from Halliday's life. There were television shows and movie clips that Halliday liked. And then they saw it; a race. Lynx veered right and his ship slammed into the clip that he saw. Parzival and Aech on board The Nebuchadnezzar were travelling too fast, and overshot the clip. Next was Art3mis' ship the Swordfish II; she went through the clip. Next, Jack went through the clip as well. And then, for some reason, the clip stopped playing and other players could not join them. The other racers presumed that they perished and gave it no second thought as they strove to finish the race.

Lynx steered his ship with precision that he could muster. He swooped to the left, and then to the right and barrel rolled. His ship was very advanced as he made modifications and based the technology on the Independence Day type of ship. Jack followed Art3mis closely and had great reflexes. Jack had his R2 unit mapping out the track that they were inside of. And then, there was a wormhole. It sucked in the three players and they were transported to another place in the OASIS. It was a secret place unknown to anyone else. The world used gravity to suck the three ships down onto the surface. Jack tried to pull away, but could not. He opened up a communication line to Art3mis.

"Hey, Artemis." He said. "Can you hear me?"

"Yeah, it's incredible, isn't it?" She asked.

"Yeah, it's something else." Jack replied. "I guess we're touching down on that world?"

"Yeah." She said.

They travelled down to the world that Halliday had secretly made within the OASIS and the race they had participated in. The gravity well brought them down gently. They made it through the atmosphere down to the small world. Lynx, Jack, and Art3mis all landed almost at the same time. There was a cave in front of them. Lynx leapt out of his ship, bringing up a M249 to bear on the two comrades.

"Who the fuck are you?" He asked Jack and Art3mis.

"We're here for the Easter egg." Jack replied, pulling out both Desert Eagle pistols to bear on Lynx. "We're here to stop you."

"Why the fuck are you stopping me?" Lynx seethed.

"You're breaking the rules to get what you want." Art3mis chimed in.

"Oh, so it was not against the rules for Parzival to use an extra life when everyone else was destroyed to get the last key for the Easter egg?" Lynx asked. "It wasn't against the rules for you to share the information to get the keys for yourselves and forget the rest of us. You guys are full of shit."

"Whatever it is, why don't we split it among the three of us?" Jack asked. "We all came here around the same time."

"You guys are using algorithms to find out where the Easter egg was." Lynx said. "I know because I did the same thing. We're all breaking the rules here. But, I'm the only one getting the egg."

He began firing at Jack and Art3mis. They dodged, ducked and leapt behind their ships. Jack pulled out his Optimus Primal skin and entered the Maximal skin. He pulled out his two double barrelled weapons in his forearms and aimed them at Lynx. He began firing. Lynx was firing at Jack, but he needed to hide because his Avatar was also taking damage from Jack and his Optimus Primal skin. Lynx used a grenade that blinded Art3mis and Jack with light. Jack activated two missile launchers from his back, and took aim. He fired at Lynx's ship, but the missiles collided with the ship's shields. Lynx came from behind the ship, and used his War Machine armour, pulling out his massive Proton Cannon that he downloaded from a Capcom Versus Marvel modification. He fired a huge plasma bolt that slammed into Jack, turning him around. Jack dropped to the ground. His Heads up Display indicated that he had been critically injured. And then, Art3mis leapt over Jack, firing a shotgun at Lynx. Lynx used his repulsor boosters on his legs and flew up. He used repulsor beams from his hands to fly over the ships and his two opponents. Art3mis and Jack pulled back, and aimed their weapons at Lynx. They fired but he was too fast. He fired a weapon on his left arm, destroying Jack's missiles, and used advanced shielding to take the blunt of the damage from Art3mis' attacks. He activated Darth Maul's duel bladed light-sabre from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Jack put away his weapons, and took out two swords from his back holsters. He started slashing relentlessly at Lynx. Lynx activated his shoulder cannon and blasted at Jack, who took it right on the chest yet again. He used the light-sabre and tried to eviscerate Jack. Jack blocked it easily using one sword, and tried to break Lynx's weapon using his other one. Lynx ducked and immediately put the sabre away. He aimed his two arm cannons at Jack. Jack opened up his two cannons from his back. They fired almost simultaneously, causing an explosion.

Art3mis pulled out her motorcycle and made her way into the cave while Lynx and Jack were preoccupied. Lynx could not go without Jack attacking him in the Optimus Primal skin. Art3mis entered the most inner sanctum of Halliday, also known in the OASIS as Anorak. He rose out of ashes in front of Art3mis. He rose to eight feet tall and looked upon her with a smile.

"Ahh." He said. "You have found an Easter egg I have hidden within the OASIS."

"Hey," Art3mis said. "I still have a few questions. Why did you hide this egg from everyone?"

"In the beginning of creating video games, creators hid eggs that no one knew about." Anorak said. "This is the first of several eggs that I have hidden. It is up to the best players to figure out where they are."

"What do I win?" she said as she picked up an egg that was at Anorak's feet.

"Unlimited ammunition for your weapons." Anorak said. "You will need to fight your way to the second Easter egg that is out there in the OASIS."

"Will other people be able to get the unlimited ammunition?" Art3mis asked.

"Only two others can receive this egg."

"So it is for Lynx and Jack then." Art3mis realized.

"If that is all, you may leave." Anorak said. "The other players will receive their gifts."

Art3mis bowed humbly to the creator of the OASIS' avatar and left the cave via her motorcycle. She made it outside to witness the destruction of Jack's X-wing and his R2 unit. Jack had used his jets to fly above the battlefield. He was angry, but he could not show it. He unleashed a volley of blasts from his shoulder cannons and his blasters from his forearms to blow up Lynx's ship however, the green force field was too powerful. Lynx also flew up to match the position that Jack was. Jack aimed all four of his weapons at Lynx, who supplied the massive proton cannon. They were about to fire when a flare flew up between them. They both looked down towards Art3mis, who motioned to both of them to come down.

"Guys." She said, opening up a communication channel to both Lynx and Jack_100292402. "We've won."

"What do you mean?" Jack asked.

"Only we three can have the Easter egg." She replied. "Talk to Anorak yourselves."

They flew down to Art3mis, putting their weapons away.

"He said we would need the winnings from this challenge to find the next Easter egg." Art3mis explained. "It's a battle that we need to fight."

"I don't need your help." Lynx sneered. "I'm not a noob like you."

"It looks like Artemis won the egg first without anyone's help." Jack rebutted. "She did not need you or anyone to tell her where to go."

"You're a noob." He replied. "You followed me. If it wasn't for me, neither of you would be here."

And then, a warning appeared on Jack's heads up display. He activated the communication. It was from his computer on board the Tensa Zangetsu.

"Sir?" The Artificial Intelligence said. "We have just found that a new world has opened up in the OASIS. It was hidden at first, but now it is open. Players are now going to the world to see what they can find out."

"Send out a probe to see what can be found." Jack ordered. "I will be on board in a minute."

Jack landed beside Art3mis, and came out of his Optimus Primal skin. He was wearing his red and black armour, and his hair was retied in the top knot. Lynx also landed beside them, but it seemed that his avatar was in fact War Machine.

"My computer has found something." Jack told Art3mis and Lynx. "A new world has opened up. That is where the next Easter egg will be. Only we three have what it takes after finding the first Easter egg."

"Fuck that," Lynx said. "I only have one person that I work with, and he's better having my back than you two."

And with that, Lynx went into the cave. He spoke to Anorak.

"Yo," Lynx said to the figure. "I'm here for the Easter egg."

"Ahh." He said. "You have found an Easter egg I have hidden within the OASIS."

"So I take it that we need what you are giving us in order to get to the next egg."

"Yes, you are certainly right. And you must also use something that flies to get there."

"No kidding." And with that, Lynx took the next egg.

Lynx turned away and walked out. He was not too eager to meet the creator of the OASIS. Jack and Art3mis waited for Lynx to come out. He was steaming angry and did not waste time talking. He walked right passed the two allies and entered his ship. He took off.

"I don't think he's going to let us help him." Jack said.

"Should we help him?" Art3mis asked. "He's been bending the rules."

"So have I." Jack replied. "I used my spaceship, the Tensa Zangetsu to find out where Lynx would be racing next. My computers on board my ship also let me know that a new world was found after we found this Easter egg."

"Hmm." Art3mis replied. "You're right. You need to stop bending the rules. It's not fair to the rest of us."

"If it was against the rules, Morrow would have said something." Jack said. "Unless of course he does not have access to the OASIS anymore."

"No he still has access and knows much about what is going on. You need to be careful, Jack."

"I know. I guess it's my turn to get the Easter egg."

With that, Jack turned away from Art3mis and entered the cave.

"Ahh." Anorak said. "You have found an Easter egg I have hidden within the OASIS."

"Halliday." Jack said, bowing. "It's an honour to meet you. Thank you for making this program for us. Is there any problem with me using a ship to find things?"

"You're talking about doing something that other players do not know how to do." Anorak said. "It is well in the scope of the game. You can do almost anything in this world. It does not matter if I think it is okay. You have to remember that you are playing with other people, and whatever you are doing has an impact on them. Become part of a group that is bigger than yourself. Here, take this egg. You will need it for the next challenge that I have placed in the OASIS."

"Thank you, James Halliday."

"You are most welcome."

With that, Jack left the cave, and Anorak turned to ash. Jack met Art3mis and held up the egg.

"It looks like we need to work together to get the other egg." Jack said. "When do you want to do this?"

"I think Lynx is going to try it himself first." Art3mis said. "We can use your ship to follow his actions."

"I thought you guys were against bending the rules."

"We are, but it seems that this guy is something else, and we need to be prepared to do anything if he becomes a threat."

"What do you think he's after?"

"He's probably after something after Parzival won the egg that he shared. We can't know that for sure. Let's see what he needs. In the meantime, do you need a lift?"

"I would love one. My ship was destroyed in my fight with Lynx."

"I saw that."

So Jack went up to the burnt wreckage of his ship, and pressed a button on the side of it. It turned into a miniature version of itself. Jack put it away. And then they were off to meet the others.


Lynx fumed as he entered his Chat room. Tridosk was already there, looking over his TIE Interceptor. He had come in third place in the race, after looking back to see where Lynx had disappeared. He had to make up the position in the race and dodge other players who were not driving the proper vehicles. Parzival and Aech came in second, and another player had come first.

"I did it." Lynx said

"Oh hey." Tridosk greeted his friend. "Did you get the Easter egg?"

"Of course I did." Lynx replied. "But we have a major problem. It seems that two other people who were working together got the Easter egg as well. We need to move quickly. Clean up when you're done."

With that, Lynx exited the OASIS by pulling off his headset. He turned on his computer and went over everything that had happened in the OASIS. His computer indicated that a new world had appeared. He hacked into the OASIS and placed a force-field over the world. Only he could enter it now. Satisfied, he made new plans on what he would be doing later. He hacked into his account, copied the coding for the unlimited ammunition and applied the same coding to other things. He now copied the codes so that he could have unlimited shields, unlimited endurance and other unlimited things. He smiled. The next Easter egg would be his and his alone.


Art3mis opened up the back of her ship, the Swordfish II. It opened up to a passenger seat that Jack sat in and strapped himself into the ship. Art3mis lifted off and they flew high into the upper atmosphere. Jack looked back at the world that they were just at. Gold clouds surrounded it, and then it disappeared surrounded by clouds of dust. Jack sighed. He probably would never find that place ever again. Jack and Art3mis flew higher, and the ship shuddered. It then entered the floating track that the race took place in. They flew to the finish line and saw that no one was there. The first ones there had already taken pictures after winning whatever prize there was for winning this particular race. Parzival, Aech, Shoto, Tankor, Tom, Gadanza and Daito were all present.

"Hey guys," Jack said after he exited the Swordfish II. "We won the eggs."

"How many were there?" Parzival asked. "What happened?"

"I fought Lynx." Jack said. "He's very powerful."

"The Easter egg was designed so that only three players could win it." Art3mis explained. "First, second and third place would win the eggs. They are needed for the next challenge to get the next egg. The egg was unlimited ammunition."

"For what weapons?" Aech asked.

"I presume all of our weapons now have unlimited ammo." Jack said.

"So it's going to be a battle normally people would not win." Daito said. "We'll need the big guns."

"I think that the only way to get to the next Easter egg is to fly there in a ship." Jack said. "My computer on board my spaceship said that a new world has opened up to us."

"We'll need help." Tankor said. "I'm going to get my clan to help us out."

"Awesome." Jack said. "I don't normally be part of a clan, but I guess I can be part of one to get the next Easter egg."

"Okay, so when do you want to go after it?" Parzival asked.

"First we need to contact all of our allies." Jack said.

"On it." Tankor said.

And with that, they decided that the next day, they would get the next Easter egg. In the meantime, Jack had to fix what was left of his X-wing. It was smashed and burnt. He respawned on board the Tensa Zangetsu and went to his workbench where he fixed his vehicle.
