(A/N)
Five months have passed since the Balrog Saga. R&R! Ben's POV.
Five months later….
I stared at the uncountable number of Freezers and Sparkers going on their way. I was in Aqua Road, where all the…. water monsters resided.
I grinned at the Oxygen Tank cape that I had equipped. With that, I could breathe underwater.
"Okay. Let's do it, Dino!" I gave a battle call and my pet, an Orange Dino, also nicknamed Dino, appeared.
"Growl. Growl. Hi, Ben!" Dino shot me a smile.
"Still practicing your growls?" I rolled my eyes.
"Yup. With those, people will run away." Dino growled again.
I rolled my eyes again.
A Sparker suddenly started attacking us.
"Power Strike!" I stabbed my Serpent's Tongue right into the Sparker and pulled it out. The lifeless corpse of the Sparker dropped to the ground and vanished.
"Hey, hey, watch me!" Dino called and he blew burning hot fire into a Freezer's face. The Freezer stepped back in pain.
"Slash Blast!" I attacked six enemies all at once.
A Freezer and Sparker growled at me and tried to attack me together. I simply jumped as high as I could as the sparks and freezing attacks combined and struck the ground.
I landed behind the Sparker and slashed it into half. The Freezer was alerted and spun round quickly, but I was quicker and a second later, the Freezer was also slashed into two.
I spite Dino taking on five Freezers all at once. I ran forward quickly but two Freezers held me back.
"You asked for it!" I yelled as I slashed a Freezer away. The other Freezer jumped on me. I slashed it into two.
I spotted Dino spitting waves of flame at two Freezers all at once.
Guess the old dino's doing well, I don't think he needs any help, I thought as I dodged a Sparker's electricity attack.
"High Jump Kick!" I double-jumped and used a somersault kick straight at the Sparkerr's head.
A Sparker and two Freezers ran at me. "Thank you for trying to jam into me, but you can't. Iron Wall."
I created my wall as the Sparker's electricity attacked. "Block. Block. You can't get me, anyway. Give it up. Blocked. Block. Blocked." I mumbled as the Sparker's electricity attacked several times.
I jumped back as the Freezer tried to tackle me.
RING! RING!
"O..kay." I muttered as I snatched my PM Phone out of my pocket.
BZZZT!!
Sparker's electricity struck into my arm.
"Ouch!! Hey, that hurt!" I shrieked.
Sparker grinned and shot more sparks of electricity.
"Iron Wall!" I blocked as the electric waves struck.
"Dino! To the portal!" I called.
"Right." Dino replied as he jumped out of a Freezer's grasp and rushed toward the portal. I followed as another bolt of electricity struck the ground.
"Let's see who called." I said as I fished out my PM Phone.
"Hi Ben." shone a message on the screen.
"Mimi. Wassup?" I typed back.
"Nth. Whr u nw?" replied Mimi.
"Aqua." I typed.
"K. Wanna come to Ludi?" the message shown in my face.
"Watever. Meet you there in ten mins." I typed and cut the call.
"What? Your girlfriend called?" Dino teased.
"Don't be stupid." I rolled my eyes as I headed to the Orbis Tower B2.
"Hey. Where are you going?" Dino asked quickly as he trotted behind me.
"Ludibrium." I pointed out as I entered the portal. Dino shrugged and followed.
"I've not have a little swim for a few days." I said, relaxed as I swam in the cooling waters up to Orbis Tower B1.
"Dino hates water. Have water, but no flame. No flame, Dino angry." Dino mumbled.
I simply laughed as I stopped to slash off a Scuba Pepe's head.
"Hey. Don't waste time!" Dino called.
"Whatever." I muttered as I swam up to the portal and entered it. Dino followed.
I appeared at Orbis Tower B1.
"All I can say is that my armour is soaked." I shrugged, staring at my armour and metal hard steel plate legs and boots.
"Even my weapon is wet." I said amusingly as I stared at my weapon, which was dripping water.
"Let's just get out of this horrid place. We've got past the water, but this floor is cold and damp. No difference to water. It's horrid." Dino began shooting comments.
I ignored him and replaced my Oxygen Tank with my Black Napoleon Cape and entered the portal.
"How're we going to climb from the 1st Floor to the 20th Floor?" Dino asked. "By some kind of magic?"
I groaned. "Didn't you forget I have an Orbis Rock Scroll?" I rolled my eyes as I used my scroll on the magic rock and we were teleported to the 20th Floor.
"Let's get out of this place." said Dino as quickly as a freight train and entered the portal. Shrugging, I followed suit.
I walked casually down the path. I went past lots of people. One was the tour guide who had booked us a plane to Singapore five months ago.
The tour guide was now wearing all pink instead of brown. Talk about colour change.
I strolled down the path until I hit the Orbis Station.
"I want a ticket to Ludibrium please." I muttered at the smiling usher. I tossed her 20,000 mesos and she tossed me two tickets. One for a Mapler and one for pet. I strolled down the station and another usher checked my ticket, snatched it, and teleported me to the station where I was supposed to wait for the ship to Ludibrium.
(A/N) R&R! If you want to know what's the ending of the Balrog Saga, it's terribly simple. It is an unsolved case. But the Crimson Balrog Killers managed to trap the balrogs to the depths of Hell, so I guess everything's fine now with the Balrog Saga. Don't worry! You'll still get a chance to meet Grandpa Boss.
