Hey guys. Here is Chapter 3. See you guys on the other side! Enjoy!
Mark rubbed his exhausted eyes to make sure they weren't playing tricks on him. Nope, these people were actually there. He recognized the man in the middle of the group first. His smooth, blonde hair and Swedish accent was obviously Pewdiepie's. Next to him was his girlfriend, Marzia. They were both chatting excitingly to none other than Cinnamontoastken! Mark could recognize his curly brown hair and southern accent anywhere! He noticed that a couple feet away, a man and woman (both with British accents) were talking and laughing. They were Yamimash and Minx! Relief washed over Mark. Thank God. I have some of my friends as classmates! There were a lot of other students standing around them, but Mark didn't immediately distinguish any of the other students. From a distance, Felix saw Mark and yelled "Hey it's Mark!" Felix ran over to Mark and gave him a brofist.
"How's it going man? I didn't know that you were going to attend WIPI!" Felix yelled enthusiastically.
"Well I wasn't really sure until this morning. I had no idea that all of these other Youtubers were coming!" Mark said.
"Anyways, come load your luggage onto the bus and talk with everyone! We have a couple more minutes since we're waiting for the last few students to show up." Felix explained.
"Ok." Felix led Mark to the bus where the side compartment was open and was about half filled with various suitcases. This is the first time seeing Felix in person, but I feel like I already know him. Felix stared down at Marks' two bags.
"You have almost as much luggage as Marzia!" Felix laughed.
"Shut up!" Mark laughed and jokingly shoved Felix to the side "The second bag is for my electronics." Pewds helped Mark put his bags in the bus. He almost fell over trying to pick up the second suitcase.
"Mark is your computer made of bricks?!" Felix huffed.
"Maybe, and be gentle! My computer is like my child!" Mark chuckled. After the two Youtubers finished loading Marks' bags onto the bus, they returned to the group of people. Mark smiled and waved to Marzia and Ken first.
"Hi guys!" Mark beamed.
"Oh you must be Mark! Its nice to finally meet you!" Marzia put out her hand and Mark shook it happily.
"Oh h-hey boss." Ken stuttered, doing the voice he did in their Viscera Cleanup Detail collaboration. Mark shook Ken's hand as well. For the first couple of minutes the four talked about the trip to get there. After Ken finished his story about a very rude flight attendant, Mark finally brought up what had been on his mind the entire trip.
"So, since you guys are all here. I'm guessing that you have the gene too." Mark said. Everyone else nodded in agreement.
"Do you guys know how these powers even work?" Mark pressed. The other three muttered "Nope". Figures, I guess they'll explain more when we get there… hopefully. Mark left the three to chat amongst themselves and walked over to Yami and Minx. Yami noticed him coming and his eyes lit up.
"Hi Ma'k!" Yami greeted him in his British accent. Minx waved to Mark and said "Hey Mark!"
"Do you guys know how this whole power situation works?" He wanted to cut to the chase and ask the other two Youtubers if they knew what is going on. Unfortunately, Yami and Minx both shook their heads.
"I was about to ask you guys the same thing." Minx explained. Mark sighed and rubbed his forehead in frustration.
"I bet they'll explain everything when we get there! Don't you worry Ma'k!" Yami reassured Mark and patted him on the back. Mark grunted a 'thank you'.
"Me and Yami are gonna get on the bus to get the best seats. Do you want to come with us?" Minx asked.
"Nah, I think I'm going to stay out here for a little while longer. I'm going to talk a little bit more with everyone." Yami and Minx shrugged their shoulders and hopped on the huge school bus. For the first time, Mark got the chance to really look at all the individual people in the crowd. He spotted Marzia, Felix, and Ken at the edge of the group. But then he noticed a small circle of people. They looked familiar so he inconspicuously walked towards them. The group consisted of 4 guys that looked like they were in their early 20s. Except one of them that had an "emo" haircut, he looked a bit younger than the other 3. Then he got close enough that he could hear their conversation.
"Buttscratchah!" all of them exclaimed at once. Then Mark realized why they looked familiar. Wait… is that… Sky? Mark noticed him by his brown, curly hair and hilarious voice. One by one he remembered the other men in the group. Deadlox…Jerome…Bajan. Holly crap! I didn't know that Minecraft Youtubers were here! Mark never considered himself a Minecraft Youtuber even though he made Drunk Minecraft videos, but he was somewhat familiar with people who were. He didn't watch a whole lot of their videos but when he stumbled upon them, Mark thought they were hysterical. Mark slowly built up the courage, and waited for the right time to talk to them.
"Hey, are you guys Sky, Jerome, Bajan, and Deadlox?" Mark waved to them. They turned towards him and their eyes lit up. Mark could tell they recognized him; it was the same look people gave him at Comic Con when they saw him.
"Hey! You must be Markiplier! It's cool to meet you man! We all love your Drunk Minecraft videos." Sky held out his hand and Mark shook it.
"Thanks man!" Mark beamed.
"We were just talking about…uh…u-"
"Buttscratchahs?" Mark guessed and chuckled. All the guys in the group laughed and they all started to talk about Drunk Minecraft for a couple of minutes. Then a tall, blonde man in his late 30s started to talk to the group.
"Ok guys, we have…" The man glanced down on the clipboard he was holding "one more person to arrive until we leave for the school. So be prepared to climb on the bus soon." Sky, Bajan, Jerome, Deadlox, and Mark all looked back to each other.
"I wonder who the last person is going to be" Jerome wondered.
"It's probably someone we don't know so it donz matter." Bajan shrugged.
"Yeah, I'm just happy that we're finally gonna leave. Maybe once we get there we'll find out what's going on here." Deadlox said. Just as Deadlox finished his sentence, the doors to the parking lot opened and a rolling of suitcases was heard. Everyone turned toward the opened doors and Mark's breath caught in his throat. The person standing in the doorway seemed to be a man in his 20s with chocolate brown hair, a green hoodie, and jeans. But the most distinguishable feature that this man possessed was a white, ceramic mask that hid his entire face.
Hope you like it so far! Check back in in two days if you're liking the story so far! Thanks! Bye :D
