Chapter 4: Standing as one.
"Which door do we take?" Mike says looking at the two doors in front of them.
Jojo then thinking back about the jewel on the ground he turns to go back and grab it only to see it being held out to him by a figure in a black coat, and as soon as Jojo takes the jewel the floor below the mysterious who, opens up and lets the person drop into it before closing back up.
"Who was that?" Cody asks staring in amazement at what just happened.
"I don't know but I could have sworn I seen a slight hint of red on that person" Jojo says with hope in his voice. As he examines the jewel and holds it up to his eye, looking at both doors he tells them to take the left.
"Are you sure we are suppose to take the left door Jojo? I mean the door on the right is green and it seems that all our supplies is green." Marcus says holding up the chip.
"Yeah I'm sure, trust me" Pam walks up and places the key in the white door but before she could turn the key she felt a hand on hers and noticed the fur attached to that hand was black and neon green. Aaron with an arm wrapped around her waist helps her turn the key. and to everyone's amazement that door opened but the green door didn't but the floor by the green door sure did.
Everyone stares at what might have been their end. For inside the hole wasn't a very far drop, but it was filled with thousands of broken glass and razor blades as well as thumb tacks.
"Wow Jojo you were right" Aaron says pushing the door open with Pam in front of him. In the next room they see two laptops one black and one red. And again Jojo holds the jewel up to his eye and examines both laptops.
"It's neither one of them" Jojo says lowering the jewel. Looking around the room Pam notices something like a slit in the wall. Walking up to it with the chip in her hand, Pam places the chip in the slit and notices that the door in front of them begins to open up.
"Found it you guys" Pam says having everyone follow behind her. The last obstacle in their path is two statues of a cyclop. One has its eye missing while the other one has both hands cupped together.
"Which one is it Jojo" Pam asks looking at the two statues.
"I don't know the jewel isn't working for it" Jojo says. But places the jewel onto the hands of the statue, which slams the door shut. Jojo then takes the jewel and places into the eye of the second statue which causes two sides of the room to open but these doors don't open up but raised from the ground. The doors begin to slowly lower back to the ground.
"Which side Jojo! which side?" Cody asks getting un easy.
"I don't know, If Mana was here he would know what to do" Jojo says holding his head in his hands. Just then the cloaked figure appears and seems to be holding up the door on the right. The figure begins to growl using all his might, which sounds very familiar to Jojo them. They could feel a breeze coming from behind the figure as they run out as quickly as they can Jojo being the last one out the figure finally lets go of the door breathing heavily.
"Who are you?" Jojo asks the breeze blowing past Jojo them knocks the hood off of the figure revealing red spiked hair and two bangs dangling over Mana's face. Mana looking up and to everyone's shock he has now a scar on his face going down his right eye. Jojo being the first runs up wrapping his arms around Mana's body embracing him.
"I am so sorry Mana for what I did"
"It is ok Jojo, I am fine and everyone is safe, Now let's get out of here" Mana says standing in front of Jojo picking him up and wrapping his arms under Jojo's legs carrying him. Jojo just lowers his head onto Mana's shoulder and wraps his arms around Mana's neck. The pack begins to make their way home now back to Jojo's house.
"I love you Mana, I just want you to know that" Jojo says in a soft voice.
"I know you do Jojo, I know you do" Mana says smiling as he begins to nudge his cheek on one of Jojo's hands.
Back at the town hall. the chairmen and his goons fall into an open hole as five cloaked figures take the seats as the chair people.
"Its awkward to think that they possess such inner strength" says one of the hooded figures.
"It's because they stand united as one person, that is where their strength comes from" says another
"Well it looks like we will have to do something about it don't you guys agree" says a third figure.
"we will wait and strike when the time is right my brother's we must not underestimate them"
"Sounds like you are quite unsure of your plans doesn't it Alexander"
"Hold your tongue Atreyu, Alexander's plan is fool proof"
"Bastion you have great faith in Alex don't you" says a hooded figure revealing his face to have green eyes and black spiked hair.
"Yes I do, Mathias I trust him with my life" Bastion says pulling off his hood to reveal his face also having green eyes but his hair is combed back.
"Aleu what is your thought on this situation" Alexander asks as the last who pulls his hood off revealing black hair but his hair is in a pony tail with two bangs that dangle over his eyes which are green as well.
"Alex you have yet lead us astray so I trust in your plan" Aleu says as Alexander pulls his hood off looking exactly like Aaron.
"Perfect" Alexander says as they all then turn their eyes towards the open door, which slowly begins to shut leaving the 5 royal knights to talk about their plan.
