Chapter 3: Shanghai, China
"Hey guys! Last time we left off, Godzilla and Calvin are still in Beijing, and the rest of us are still running to Shanghai." I said, running and panting.
Back in Beijing….
"Hey monsters! Back to MonsterIsland with all of you!" Transformerboy yells. The Monsters all fall in black hole and….
"Phew, thank god." says Moe, but fails to see that Godzilla is still chasing him. "Ahh!"
"Ah ha ha that was funny! Now you have to entertain Calvin in a dress for the rest of the chapter!" Transformerboy says.
"WHAT!" shrieks Moe.
"You heard me! If you refuse, I'll bring the monsters back!" Transformerboy threatens.
"No, I'll do it!" Moe insists. He puts on the dress and goes to find Calvin.
Transformerboy laughs and teleports back to Shanghai.
Back to Shanghai with the group…
"Leave it to a bunch of Godzilla monsters to spoil the fun." WG sighs. "Well, to Shanghai we go!" As she puts on ninja outfit… "Oh, look Prince, a large tree! Let's hide!" She adds, as everybody hides as the police go forward past their hiding space.
"Also….. we have MORE travelers!" WG exclaims.
-Miles of the Brush
-CalviNation
-djtiger31000
-bigdouble59
"Hey, CalviNation, glad to see you're back!" I smile.
"Yes folks, I'm ba…" CalviNation says as he rips his pants again. "Oh crud."
"Quick Susie, cover your eyes!" warns HBee16.
"Too late! I've been mooned…..again!" Susie says, twitching.
"WG, do you still have that memory remover device?" I inquire.
"Yes….. Ah, I know why you need it!" WG says as she sprays a substance on Susie.
"Hey, Tanabi, how about we explore this city?" Starfire says, then whispers "Revenge. On. Dia."
"Ah, ok." I say, understanding.
The group walks for a while until they reach an old Chinese house.
"嘿，你在幹什麼在我家？消失，陌生人。" a Man says as he walks out of the cottage. (Translation (Mandarin): Hey, what are you doing at my house? Be gone, strangers.)
"肯，你不能看到這些可憐的，累了的旅客需要的東西吃？我們應該讓他們留下來。"His wife scolds, also coming out of the cottage. (Translation (Mandarin): Ken, can't you see these poor and tired travelers need something to eat? We should let them stay.)
"Um, Tanabi, why are these people speaking a different language?" Tolo whispers.
"It's not a different language; it is just a different form of Chinese. Cantonese is what they speak in Shanghai. (Referred to as Traditional Chinese) In Beijing, they spoke Mandarin (Referred to as Simplified Chinese)" I explain.
"How do you know all this?" Djtiger inquires.
"Like I said before, I took some classes." I explain patiently.
"對不起我的丈夫不會讓你留下來，你會好嗎？" the Woman asks, concerned. (Translation: I'm sorry my husband won't let you stay, will you be alright?)
"這沒關係。我們將在我們的方式。"I say, reassuring her. (Translation: It's ok. We'll be on our way.)
"Oh Tanabi, I almost forgot! I want to show you my new power!" Miles exclaims eagerly.
"What is it?" I ask.
"I have a power called Celestial Brush, which gives me two other powers! By pointing my finger, I can make stuff break in half, which I call power slash, and by touching something broken, I can fix it instantly, which I call restoration!" Miles explains.
"Nice, but…." I start to say, regretting asking him.
"I'll show you how it works, too!" Miles demonstrates, by pointing at a simple Chinese cottage and splitting it in half.
"What was that!" Starfire and HBee16 exclaim.
"Great…. We have a mob of angry Chinese people now." I frown.
"Don't worry, I can easily use restoration!" Miles says, and restores cottage to original form.
"Oh, I almost forgot! I have some PSI with me!" Diabowserker exclaims mischeviously.
"What's PSI?" Starfire asks, getting suspicious.
"PSI stands for Prismatic Sphere of Ice. It allows me to summon a sphere of never-melting ice which deflects energy based attacks, such as fire, lightning, and plasma. The ice itself is -200 degrees Celsius, so hitting it would be a bad idea." Diabowserker explains.
"Uh oh." Starfire mumbles.
"I shall use it on you too!" Diabowserker chuckles, freezing Starfire with PSI.
"交付星火！" A Delivery man shouts. (Translation: Delivery for Starfire!)
"She didn't order anything, did she?" I sigh. I have a credit limit, y'know…
"Remember you promised her a dragon?" HBee16 said, reminding me.
"Oh shoot." I mumble.
The Dragon tramples Diabowserker and unfreezes Starfire, causing a pool of water on the road.
"I thought Dia said that PSI was fire-resistant." BD says, looking confused.
"This dragon uses anti-fire. That's why the prism melted." Starfire explains with a small smile.
"What exactly is 'anti-fire'?" Miles asks.
"Oil, basically." Starfire said.
"How about we keep moving…?" I recommend.
The group leaves Diabowserker running for his life from the anti-fire dragon.
"Wow, this city is amazing." I say in awe.
"Agreed, again." Tolo says matter-of-factly.
"Hey, you!" A random Policeman yells.
"You speak English?" I ask, quizzically.
"How about you all follow me?" the Policeman commands as he puts handcuffs on me. "You have the right to remain silent."
"Hey! W..Wh..What are you doing?" I ask.
"I heard a tour group with the leader as your description rampage through Beijing. Also we caught your little brat, who was mysteriously being entertained by a boy in a pink dress." the Policeman explains.
Transformerboy tries his hardest not to laugh.
"What are you going do with us?" WG demands.
The Policeman throws them in a truck and says, "You're going to the World tourist office, to be questioned by the Master. Oh, one more thing….." He also sprays poison gas so that everything goes black.
Can you guess who the 'Master' is, and what he plans to do? Next chapter: The World tourist office.
