(A/N)
How do you like my last chapter?
Boring!!: Get away from this story!
Great!!: Thanks. Continue to read.
Remember to R&R. I also have a question for DarnedNoob. Are you on FanFiction for 24 hours? 1 hour or more after I have JUST FINISHED my latest chapter, I go back to check the story you already reviewed. You told me I was the fastest updater. Well, I think you're the fastest reviewer. :P
P. S. Ben's POV.
I stared at the numerous people jumping all over, waiting for the ship to arrive.
Suddenly, someone started up an Omok game.
I went in seconds before the game started.
"Hello." grinned the creator. I studied the Mapler. Level 90 Hermit, I thought, staring at the Mapler's sharp nose. Aged 12, I thought again, studying the Mapler's height.
"You want to play a game?" the Mapler asked.
"No." I declined, pointing to the ship which had just arrived.
I excused myself out of the game and entered the ship.
"Ship departing Ossyria in ten seconds." boomed the voice from a speaker.
I tried looking for the teen who wanted to play Omok with me, but he was lost in the crowd.
Two Maplers, one was a Level 39 Spearman and the other was a Level 37 Assasin, climbed up to the mast. They plopped their big butts on it and began chatting.
"Are you prepared for the Ludibrium Party Quest, Darkie?" the Spearman asked.
"Of course, Sphawn. I may be low-leveled, but my accuracy is the best among all the Rogues in the world!" Darkie grinned and threw a Subi star at the ship's deck. Surprisingly, he missed such an easy shot and the Subi star was shot into the ocean instead of the deck.
His accuracy is best than any other Rogues in the entire world, huh… What a dolt, I thought, as I looked up at the Assasin who was saying "Oops" over and over again.
"Dino thinks it's crowded." Dino groaned.
"Uh. Sorry, Dino. You better return home." I apologized as I took out a mushroom and Dino zipped into it.
If you were wondering what was that, it was a Pet's Home a.k.a Mushroom Ball. It shrinks the pet and then the pet goes home. It was like an anime show I really liked back on Earth: Pokemon. Pokemon are these… weird creatures that can also be shrank and then returned into Pokemon into Poke Balls when they're not used.
Back to the story.
I was stuffed in between a Level 110 Dragon Knight and a Level 80 Chief Bandit.
In the end, I was too stuffy and shrieked at the top of my lungs, "Iron Wall!!"
My skill created a wall, increasing my defense. The wall pushed away the two high-leveled pros.
I cringed as they both clashed into a Level 99 Priest.
Everyone stared at me. "S..s…sorry." I gestured in apology, embarrassed, and tried to sneak into the cabin. All I ran into was the wall. Then I remembered the ship from Ossyria to Ludibrium had no cabin. I slapped my forehead.
Suddenly, the ship took off. I fell down butt-first.
In the middle of the crowd, I spotted a suspicious-looking figure. His face wasn't shown, as his whole body was covered with a dark cloak. I saw him fish into his pocket for something. Then he disappeared right before my eyes.
Must have been my imagination, I thought as I shrugged and continued daydreaming.
BOOM!!
"What happened?!" I yelled.
"There is an explosion; I repeat, there is an explosion. You're are ordered to… bzzt… evacuate.. bzzt… immediate… bzzt!" the speaker wasn't even working properly.
"HELP!!" lame noobs were shrieking and running all over the ship.
Suddenly, Toy Trojans appeared out of nowhere. They began to strike with their swords at a few noobs.
"Hey, get away from them, you toy soldier!" a voice yelled and the Level 37 Assasin, also known as Darkie, began throwing Subi stars. The Level 39 Spearman, Sphawn, began attacking.
"Rrrghhh!!" Toy Trojan's horse galloped straight at Darkie.
"Help!! I'm going to be knocked over!!" shrieked Darkie.
People began muttering. I heard a nearby Mapler saying in disgust, "an Assasin who doesn't know how to put agility to good use. How wasteful!"
Suddenly, a dark figure jumped out of the shadows and pushed away Darkie.
"You're my opponent, Toy Trojan." said the voice calmly. I could tell the shadowy figure was a girl. She double-jumped and began throwing dozens of Steely at the horse. Blood began coming out at top speed.
"Now's your turn." said the mysterious Assasin. I could tell she was grinning. A second later, a Steely struck the stomach of the toy soldier, and he fell off the horse, dead.
Everyone began cheering.
"Dark Sight, off." said the Assasin calmly, and the figure revealed itself.
"Hey, Eve!!" I waved my hands wildly.
The Assasin, revealed to be Eve, ignored everyone and began shooting dozens of Steely at the other Toy Trojans.
"Arrow Bomb!" an arrow infused with fire shot at a Toy Trojan.
"Hey! This is my job! Stay the heck out of the way, Joe!" Eve screamed as Joe appeared.
"No way. I need action." Joe grinned as he fired more arrows at the Toy Trojans.
Eve mumbled something under her breath and began shooting more Steely non-stop. Ten Toy Trojans were crushed at the same time.
"Let's have a challenge. Let's see who kills ten Toy Trojans at once first, okay?" grinned Joe as he shot triple Arrow Bombs at the Toy Trojans. However, only seven was killed.
"Fine with me. Lucky Seven! Lucky Seven!" Eve fired eight Steely at the Toy Trojans. Ten was crushed.
"How's that?" Eve shot Joe a seductive smile.
"Not bad." groaned Joe as he continued the fight.
"Final attack! Drain!" Eve began draining a Toy Trojan's energy. After ten seconds, the Toy Trojan fell off the horse and the horse broke into fifty pieces.
One last Toy Trojan was left standing. Before Eve or Joe could attack, I rushed forward.
"Power… Strike!!" I shrieked as I slashed at the Toy Trojan. It was sliced into half.
"Hey, Benny boy!" Joe waved.
"Good to see you again, leader." Eve grinned.
Suddenly, Master Robos appeared and attacked the ship's passengers.
"Eve, Joe, save the noobs. Fly them to somewhere safe or something." I instructed.
"I can't fly." Eve and Joe said together as they flapped their arms helplessly.
"Jump." I corrected myself and ignored Joe's and Eve's looks of horrors.
"Go, quick! I'll hold back our robot adversary." I told them as I sliced a Master Robo into half with ease.
"We might get killed!" Eve shouted, "jumping down at this height!"
I just rolled my palm into a fist. Somehow I was getting angry.
"Don't you remember what Roger said?!" I screamed at them.
Flashback
"Maple Story, there is magic everywhere." Roger said.
End Flashback
"Magic…" Eve muttered, then nodded, "okay!!"
As Eve and Joe lead the noobs off the ship, some other pros and I fought back the Master Robo. One of them was the Level 90 Hermit.
"Taste my prowess! Avenger!" the Level 90 Hermit threw a big, scary-looking dark star at Master Robo. One hit KO!
Numerous of Master Robos kept appearing. In the corner of my eye, I caught sight of the mysterious cloaked figure watching us.
I glared at him. "That guy…." I managed to mutter as I chased after the figure. It drew back quickly.
I reached the spot where the figure was standing.
"Darn! Where is that thing!" I looked around, hoping to catch sight of the figure.
"Evil Lightning Bolt." I heard a voice mutter and lightning bolts coloured in dark shot out of the sky and struck me.
"Urghh!!" I screamed.
"Transform." the voice muttered, and I heard stomping in the distance. Soon, a gigantic dinosaur made it's appearance.
"Who…. Who are you?!" I shrieked as I got up and drew out my Serpent's Tongue.
The dinosaur roared and swung it's tail at me.
"Gahhh!!" I screamed as I was knocked off deck. I caught hold of the handle bar.
"Wrath Of The Eagle." the same, menacing voice said.
A dark eagle appeared and began clawing me. "Don't push me too far!!" I yelled as I jumped onto the eagle. I gripped hold of it's claws and climbed up onto it's back. "Spear Booster, let's go!!" I shrieked as I stabbed my Serpent's Tongue into the eagle and dodged just in time as blood began blasting out. I jumped onto the ship just as the eagle exploded.
"Impressive." the voice said menacingly.
"Show yourself! Don't tell me you're scared, huh?" I yelled into where I thought the voice was coming from.
"Pit Of Darkness." chanted the voice. Some sort of portal was ripped open on the deck and I was sucked through.
