[NOTE: EXCLUSIVE TO

First, thank you so much for liking the story so far!
It'll get even more interesting later…
Second, I was able to get another chapter out right after the other! Yay.
Also third: warning, the characters might get a little OOC, but I'll try not to let that happen.

But anyway, let's continue this story.

Geoff, Bridgette, Brody, Izzy, Harold, Duncan, and Staci ended up being teleported into a city…

Bridgette: "Is everyone all right?"

Duncan: "We are, Malibu."

Harold: "I wonder where we are…"
"It looks like a city, but it's deserted…"

Staci: "It reminds me when- "

Duncan: "Oh so you ARE the Staci that they told me would not shut up."

Staci: "But- "

Geoff: "So how do we get out of here?"

Staci: "I think I know- "

Bridgette: "I'm not sure…"

Izzy: "Cool! We're on top of a skyscraper!"

Harold: "Yeah, we do."

Staci: "My 4th cousin told me that- "

Izzy: "Maybe we should jump down!"

Brody: "Girl, are you crazy?"

Bridgette: "Yes she is."

Duncan: "Now what?"

Geoff: "We'll just wait for anyone to rescue us!"

Staci: "UGH! Why nobody listens to me when I am serious!"

[

Oh my gosh, Staci, I knew you could do it!
When you get serious about things, you always come out with something true. The only problem is making people believe you.

Well, here is what you need to do: Get the flag on the ground floor of this building!
It's exactly 1 kilometer tall, and the elevator is currently broken! So, come up with something that won't take you the entire day.
If you want to ask something, check the [Game Guide] or message me.

See ya'!

Royce.

...

Duncan: "Huh."

Bridgette: "Let's get that flag, then."

Harold: "Yeah, let's- "

Duncan makes Harold fall on his face.

Duncan: "Whoops."

Harold: "Hey! You broke my glasses!"

Duncan: "Cry about it!"

Harold: "Oh well? Getting in jail for exploding- "

Geoff: "Okay, okay, let's not argue right now."

After they went down from the top, they look at the elevator, which is in fact, broken.

Brody: "I'm not sure I can do 1 kilo-something of stairs, without getting a cramp."

Geoff: "Yeah, you did back in Ridonculous Race."

Izzy: "I've got an idea!"

Bridgette: "Don't tell me you'll jump down the elevator shaft!"

Izzy: "Come with me, stranger!"

Brody: "Wait what- "
"AH!"

Izzy holds Brody and they jump down.

Geoff: "Dude!"

Duncan: "Well, now they are dead."

Harold: "Uh… Guys?"

Brody (Far Away): "Dude! I'm alive!"
"I'm not doing that again."

Izzy (Far Away): "Cool! The flag is over there!"

Geoff: "Great! Now we can get out of here."

Staci: "I don't think that will happen…"

Brody: "Here it is."

Izzy: "[VISUALIZE]!"

A menu popped out, and Izzy uses the [FLAG] command.

[

Warning, if you claim this zone, you'll probably die because the energy released by the change is massive!

Are you sure to claim this zone?

]

Brody: "Well… That's…"

Izzy: "Oh well, whatever."

As soon as Izzy grabs the flag, a wave of energy engulfs the area.

Brody: "AAHHHHH!"

Geoff (Far Away): "Dude! Are you okay?"
"…I don't feel well."

Harold: "What's this… noise…"

They fall to the ground and a flash of light covers the area.

Brody is lying in the building's lobby, waking up.

?: "Look, they are awake!"

Brody: "What happened?"
"A mannequin?"

Mannequin 1: "You saved us!"

Mannequin 2: "We're free from the chain of memories!"

Brody: "What?"
"Where is Izzy?"

The place looks a lot better overall. The others used the elevator, which is fixed, to go toward him.

Geoff: "Man, what was that?"
"We're still here…"

Duncan: "Hey, this place doesn't look bad anymore."

Mannequin 3: "You saved us!"
"As a reward, you can get to my 5-star hotel's suite."

Bridgette: "Oh?"

Harold: "This is nice!"

As the group celebrates, Staci opens her [MAIL] and reads her last message.

[

It's me! Royce is again here.

Looks like you made the downtown mannequin population happy! If someone told you that you would die, that was not true.
Someone wants you to be terrified, and even […] doesn't want that, so stay strong!
For now, you can't do much else. Every group still has to get a zone. You are the 2
nd one to get it, and you got a big chunk of land.

So, relax while you can! Things will get much, much worse… later.

]

Staci: "Hm. What's that about?"
"I feel…"
"Kind of different now… Oh well. Wait for me!"

Bridgette: "Well, Geoff, let's say this is a little vacation until we get out of this place."

Geoff: "Right!"

The two begin to kiss each other. Brody is looking at them a bit saddened.

Brody (To Himself): "I wished it got to that point between me and MacArthur…"
"She didn't love me…"

Geoff: "Man, are you all right?"

Brody: "Oh? Yeah, I'm fine!"

[SUMMON- BETH, AMY, SAMMY, SCARLET, BRICK, LIGHTNING, LEONARD]

-LOCATION- ENCANTA MAZE

As they spawn in the zone, Sammy accidentally pushes Amy into a puddle.

Amy: "HEY! My skirt!"

Sammy: "What is this place?"
"Is this a maze? How do we get out of here?"

Amy pushes her back, and they start bickering with each other.

Leonard: "Wait, I recognize this place! It's one of the dungeons in "Arcane Room"!"
"It was full of monsters when I got here."

Amy: "Monsters? Ewww. Throw Samey into them."

Sammy: "No! You!"

Lightning: "Woah. Stop fighting, girls! Lighting's going to beat whatever is going into us."

Brick: "Brick MacArthur reporting for duty!... Eh?"
"What's this place? It's too dark here…"

Beth: "Uhm… hello?"

Beth: "I think I don't know any of you…"
"Hi, uh, I'm Beth!"

Scarlet: "My name is Scarlet."
"I think everyone lost their memory about that moment…"

Beth: "What?"

Leonard: "Someone told me about this game! I don't remember it being so direct though."
"Let's see if this works! I have to find the spell in the book…"

Amy: "As this will work."

Beth: "You're a wizard?"

Amy: "He thinks he is."

Lightning: "You're a wizard? I know someone who's a witch."
"She was a total creep."

Leonard: "[SUPPORT-TELEPORTATION]! Send us to the center of the Maze!"

A circle made of light appears, and they all get teleported. They end up near a fortress, and there is a flag right at the center.

Sammy: "Now what you'll say, Amy?"

Scarlet: "Oh. I think we were supposed to get that flag."

Brick: "I'm going to get it!"

Lightning: "No, me!"
"Sha-Bang!"

Brick gets pushed down, and when Lightning grabs the flag, a loud tremor grows through the maze. The walls are breaking apart.

Beth: "Oh my gosh!"

[

[URGENT MESSAGE] -VOICE MESSAGE

?: "Yeah, you figured out what to do without even knowing what to do."
"Congrats. Now you'll have to survive the maze breaking apart, by going into the fortress."
"It will keep shaking until every group has gotten a zone."
"You're the 3rd one to get one, so… goodbye…"

As soon as some walls start to fall, the screen fades to black…
