Chapter 11

A Brainstorming Battle Part 3: The Last Battle with the Toad

Natsume's POV

I traveled for almost one day. And damn, I forgot to ask those gay tigers for some clues about the third riddle giver. I guess I was too engrossed on escaping. Hehe, that was better. Anyway, I had crossed the 1 mile bridge. And since I can fly, I don't find it hard to cross the bridge.

When I'm almost near the end of the bridge, I can feel that the temperature is rising, despite my power. When realization hits me…God. I've been surprisingly teleported at a desert. I can see a cactus nearby. Wow, this cactus is way beautiful than what I had seen in books.

As I was enjoying the sight of the cactus, forgetting that it is hot, a voice suddenly snapped me back to reality.

"Good sir, if you could answer my riddle, I'll take you back to where you should be."

"What the hell??? You mean this is just an illusion???" I asked, very surprised.

"Correct. And if you want to get back where you should be, you must answer 1 tricky riddle of mine." He said.

"Alright then, what's the riddle?" I asked.

"There was a novelist who wrote a novel. Then, another novelist stole the novel of the novelist 1 then that novelist publish it into several copies. Novelist 1 said that it was his novel. But novelist 2 said the same thing." He paused.

"Okay, then?" I said, looking interested at the situation.

"They were both brought to the court. Novelist 1 said that that it was his novel. But novelist 2 protested and said the same thing. So, you, being the judge, what will you do to know who is the real owner of the novel?

That caught my mind's attention. I can't seem to figure out what's the answer. Damn! How could I pass it? I have to think of an answer. I had to review what he had said.

So there is novelist who wrote a novel. Then, another novelist came in the scene and he stole novelist 1's novel. Novelist 1 said it was his novel. But novelist 2 said it was his. So, they are both brought at the court. Novelist 1 claimed that it is his novel. But novelist 2 said the same thing. As a judge how can you know who is the real owner of the novel? Hmmm… novelist 2 stole novelist 1's novel. Then, he claimed that it was his novel. Novelist 1…novel…novelist 2…he stole it…novelist 1…novel…nolvelist 2…stole…Of course! I figure it out.

"Right I've got it!!! Let them both write the continuation of the novel. Only one of them can write it with ease. Of course, the original novelist is the one who had the idea of it from the start. So, let them both write the continuation." I replied, my heart beat is so rapid.

I waited patiently for his answer.

"You're absolutely correct. Now, I entrust you the Mirror of the Nymphs that sees everything, the sword of light and the shield of truth. You can see anyone you want in the mirror. Just think of that person and it will appear in the mirror." The toad said happily.

"Thank you sir." I replied and sighed in relief.

Then I thought about Mikan. I saw Mikan.

……………………….the little scene inside of the mirror…………………………………………………………………………………………….

"Mikan, get out!" a dark blue haired boy with sapphire eyes screamed.

"No! I can't!" Mikan said struggling to get out from the hold of the rope.

"That's what happens when you disobeyed my rules. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! And Tsubasa, didn't I tell you not to have any conversation with anyone? You also disobeyed me so you two are gonna suffer with the snake in the prison, who is also sad because he misses his family. Bwahahahahaha!" the emerald eyed girl shouted and mock at them.

………………………………..end of the little scene inside the mirror…………………………………………………………………………………………….

"Snake??? Oh that must be the person that the leader of the snake told me to save. So he's also captured. An just as I've thought, the sorceress DID use a contact lens. It's lucky for me to have another basis besides the color of the eye.

-flashback-

"But one thing is for sure that she is the witch. When you saw a pair of dark blue eyes, it's definitely her." She added with a serious look on her face.

"I wish she wasn't wearing any contact lenses." I blurted out while putting my palm on my mouth.

She suddenly fall anime-style.

"Ok so you don't trust her eyes then." She looked at me.

I nodded in agreement. Yeah, what if she really wore her contact lenses? How the heck would I know it was her?

"Another thing for you to recognize her. She usually have perm on the ends of her hair so it wouldn't be difficult for you to recognize her." She said while rubbing her aching temples, courtesy of my idiotic mind.

"What if-" I was cut off by her sudden and unexpected interruption.

"I know what you're thinking now. You're gonna ask me if she would straighten her hair, right? Well…" she took a deep breath.

"THEN LOOK AT THE EYES!" she boomed at me.

"But what if she had plastic surgery? Turning herself into an innocent looking kid?" I asked again.

"IT WOULD BE YOUR DAMN COMMON SENSE DARN IT! DON'T YOU HAVE ANY COMMON SENSE IN YOUR HEAD???" she roared at me.

"Okay, okay. Jeez, my ears are gonna explode!" I exclaimed while rubbing my pain stricken ears.

-end of flashback-

"Oh so that emerald eyed girl is the Sorceress of the forbidden mountain." Natsume finally realized.

"Yes, you're right." The Toad said.

…………………………………Back to the scene inside the mirror……………………………………………………………………………………………….

"Mikan, no! Don't pass out!" the dark blue haired man screamed.

"Tsubasa, escape now…" her voice faded as she collapsed on the cold and hard floor.

"You stupid sorceress! I'm the one you should have targeted! She has nothing to do with what I am doing. It's my own choice to have a breakfast and chat with her every morning!" the dark blue haired man shouted at the sorceress.

"My, my, Tsubasa is defending his princess. Well, I cannot take the poison back anyway. But, I had a total control over the poison though. If her savior hasn't arrived in one week, I'll wake up the poison and it will kill her instantly." Sumire explained.

"Grr…you'll pay for this you old hag!" Tsubasa screamed at her.

"Oh, I think I must put you to sleep first." The emerald eyed sorceress declared.

A second later, he collapsed too on the floor.

…………………………………….End of the scene inside the mirror………………………………………………………………………………………………

You'll pay sorceress! You'll pay! I never thought you'll do that to Mikan! I guaranteed that when we meet again I'm going to kill you!

"Sir, I think we should go now. I had the aid for that poison…" the Toad said.

"What?! You do?! Where is it? Where is it??!!" Natsume panicked.

"Hey calm down or we'll never get to her in time!" the Toad explained while calming our hot headed Natsume.

"Ok, I'm calm. And what do you mean 'we'?" he asked the Toad.

"Do you really think we'll let you do this alone?" an ever-familiar voice suddenly popped out of nowhere.

I tuned around to see who it was. It was the rattlesnakes!

"Yeah, we wanted to save our princess too." A girly voice butted in.

The voice send chills to my spine. Oh no, not the Gay Tigers. I turn around. Oh my God. I can't believe God loves me so much.

"Hey it's the guy I'm talking about. The one with the raven hair and crimson eyes! He is definitely him!" Tagore is his name right? Yeah that…TAGORE??? OMG.

"Oh my God. You're so handsome!" Tagore exclaimed while charging towards me.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Scrolls that showed great dizziness appeared on Tagore's eyes while he lied down the ground.

"You shouldn't mess around with people especially guys who had already their LOVELIFE." The leader of the snake hit Tagore's head with his ever-so-present humongous hammer, at the same time, he smirked at me.

Damn him! How could he?!

"Now, now, no more quarrels! Let's go and save our Princess." The Toad said.

"Princess?" I asked them.

"We'll explain to you later on." The leader of the snake replied to me.

"Ok, let's head towards that Forbidden Mountain and save Mikan." I declared while raising my index finger.

"Yeah." Everyone agreed.

And they started their journey on saving Mikan.
