(A/N)

Hiya folks. Half a year has passed since the MapleDestined begin their journey. R&R! Ben's POV.

I waited with Mimi and Joe as Eve teleported out of the portal.

"How did it go?" Mimi asked.

"Great!" Eve answered.

It was like this. Five months had passed since we got our respective jobs. I was now a Spearman, Mimi was a Cleric, Joe a Hunter, and Eve had just gotten her job as an Assasin.

We were all powerful and Level 30 now.

"Hey, let's go and do the Party Quest." Eve grinned as she made her way to Lakelis.

"Good idea." Joe replied as he held up his bow.

Mimi and I followed and we climbed down the pipe. A minute later, we were at Lakelis's. We formed a party.

"There's millions of people here." I gasped as I saw many Maplers jumping all about.

"Well, don't you have a track?" Mimi asked.

"Always do." I nodded as I tracked down someone.

"What's the track?" Joe whispered, careful not to reveal that we had a track in our hands.

"Track Mr. Mage." I whispered back.

"Where are the girls?" I asked, looking around.

"I don't know. Hey, they are already fighting the King Slime!"

In a clothes and weapon shop….

"I know you wanna buy some Rogue stuff, but why did you pull me in? Rogues are not my stuff." Mimi groaned as she watched Eve trying out a Mithril Guard with her Tobi star.

"Hey, fashion's your stuff." Eve pointed out.

"Fashion and Rogue fashion are two different things." Mimi argued back.

"Well, they are n…" before Eve could finish, they disappeared.

"Yes! We finally got in!" yelled a voice.

Mimi and Eve turned to see Joe and I cheering.

"Fools! I was trying out a weapon! Why did you have to get in now?!" Eve scolded.

"Hey, you were the ones who started this Party Quest idea." I muttered.

"Look! The Mithril Guard!" Mimi pointed to the claw Eve was wearing. "It must have got teleported too."

"Ah. Now that's what I call thieving." Eve grinned as we proceeded to ask how many tickets must we get.

"Jackpot. 35." I sobbed.

"25." the others said in unison.

We collected our tickets from the nasty Ligators. Eve was the first one to collect all the tickets and she got her pass. Mimi was second and I was third.

Joe finally collected all his tickets and collected his pass. We handed the pass over and proceeded into the portal to the second stage.

"Clockwork!" I commanded. I didn't have to do this as I was the leader of the party. The others jumped on their respective ropes. Unexpectedly, it was correct right away and we proceeded to the third stage.

"C'mon. That was way too easy." I laughed.

"Yeah." Eve agreed as she hopped onto the barrel with a kitten marked 1. Mimi jumped on 3 and Joe jumped on 2.

"Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Correct! Let's go." I muttered, as I stepped into the portal.

"Kay. Just this one and we are dealin' with Mr. King Slime." Joe said, as he jumped onto the barrel marked 4.

After twenty minutes of trying, the portal finally opened.

"Ready, guys?" I asked.

"Ready!" they yelled as they jumped into the portal.

"H..h..hey! Wait for me!" I yelled as I followed them into the portal.

"Eve, the Cursed Eyes are yours. Joe, you're up for Jr. Necki. Mimi, help me with the King Slime!" I gave the party their orders, and jumped down where the King Slime resided.

"Eat this!" I yelled as I used my Forked Spear to hack the King Slime in the belly. Green blood gushed out but it was not enough to kill the King Slime. It was angered, and used it's Earthquake.

Mimi and I were thrown back. "Take this!" I called as I tossed a White Potion to Mimi. As Mimi reached to catch it, the King Slime used Earthquake again. But Mimi jumped quickly and grabbed the potion and drank it.

"Phew! You would have been dead if that King Slime attacked again." I heaved a sigh of relief.

"Yeah." Mimi agreed as she cast Magic Claw. The King Slime roared.

At this time, Eve and Joe had finished with their killings. They jumped down to help us with the King Slime.

King Slime simply summoned other slimes to distract Mimi, Joe, and Eve. I was the only one free to attack. I charged forward and double jumped into the King Slime's face. It knocked me down on the ground flat.

"Ouch!" I groaned as I held up my injured knee.

"As Eve swiped a Tobi at a Slime, she ran up the wall and jumped onto the King Slime. She stabbed ten Tobi stars into his head. Green blood sprayed at her face.

"Gross." Eve muttered.

"You look funny." I commented, as I jumped forward.

Eve grunted as she jumped down the King Slime's head. The King Slime just had 150-200 HP left. I tried to slash the King Slime but it used an Earthquake and Eve and I were thrown onto the ground.

"Urgh." Eve muttered, as she stood up and drank a White Potion. The King Slime was about to use Earthquake again and it jumped.

Eve quickly double jumped and managed to cling on to the ladder. "All yours, Ben!" she called, as she bit into her apple.

"Why don't you help?!" I yelled, as I used my Iron Wall to shield me from the King Slime's knock. I was thrown back but not damaged.

"Too strong!" Eve answered.

At Mimi and Joe's side, things were not getting good too.

"Holy Arrow!" Mimi shot an arrow at a Slime and it broke into millions of pieces.

"Arrow Bomb!" Joe shot out a burning arrow and stunned some of the Slimes.

"Magic Claw! Magic Claw!" Mimi yelled and killed until she was exhausted.

Joe was exhausted too. He had used Double Arrow on many Slimes already.

"Arrow Bomb!" Joe stunned the Slimes who were blocking their way and rushed away as the Slimes chased them.

"Here I come!!" screamed a voice and Eve jumped down from nowhere and began throwing Tobi at all of the Slimes. They got killed and vanished.

"Excellent work!" Joe praised.

"No time for thank-yous. Ben has a little problem with the King Slime." Eve said with a serious look plastered on her face.

"I knew Benny boy couldn't handle that King Slime all by himself." Joe said grimly as he rushed forward.

I indeed was having a problem. The King Slime was using continuous Earthquakes at me, causing me to keep dodging and unable to attack unless I was damaged.

"Heyo, Benny boy!" I heard Joe's voice rang out my nickname from behind and he shot an Arrow Bomb at the King Slime. It was stunned.

"Hey! Nice work." I grinned as I jumped up and stabbed the King Slime's eyes. It was blinded. I kept stabbing it in the belly. In the end, it vanished and in it's place stood ten dozen Slimes.

"Run!" I yelled as the Slimes chased after us.

"The pass!" Joe reminded me.

Eve charged forward and threw Tobi stars at all the Slimes that got in her way. She retrieved the pass and cringed as the remaining Slimes bounced all over her.

"Arrow Bomb!" Joe shot Arrow Bombs for five times and finally all the Slimes were stunned. Eve quickly jumped up the ladder and I collected all of the passes. I spoke to Cloto and she teleported us to the Bonus Stage after giving us a surprise reward.

"Purple Bandana!" Eve cheered as she took off her Brown Bamboo Hat and adjusted her Purple Bandana on her head.

"Light Purple Umbrella!" Mimi rubbed her hands in glee as she replaced her Old Wooden Staff with her new weapon.

"That's rare!" Joe gasped. "Anyway, I got Black Work Gloves." Joe slipped on his new pair of gloves.

"Cool. I got a Jousting Helmet! Just right for a Warrior's helmet." Ben slipped on his new helmet happily.

"Teleport out now?" I asked.

"Let's train for a bit." Mimi suggested as she used her Holy Arrow on a Horned Mushroom.

"Okay." Eve, Joe, and I agreed.

We trained for a few minutes, then Eve spoke up, "I'm going off already. I'm hangin' out at the Internet Café. I deserve some rest for work like this. Cya!" Eve spoke to Nella and teleported out.

We shrugged. After ten minutes, Joe grew bored and teleported out too. We trained until we were almost close to Level 31. But we decided to teleport out and let other parties come in. Anyhow, we had already spent a long time in here.

As we were teleported back to Kerning City again, we tried to think of where to train next.
