Chapter 4, coming up!
I would like to thanks to all of you who had read these chapters so far (yeah, I know it's a bit boring and pointless at first), and I really do appreciate your reviews too. So, I'll try to keep update as soon as possible before I caught myself busy again on next month.
As I always say, keep update with me. So, enjoy!

Other world, other me
*China, Library, 195AD*
Zhang Jiao, who volunteer go to the library, to search the reason of why Gan Ning, and the other four had gone as soon as the screens were summon. By behalf from Zuo Ci, he went to the library to search the reasons. Of course he's not alone, Xiahou Dun are with him (which he fear he might had a trick to get away from them).
While they keep searching the information, somehow it was waste of time. They found nothing! Not a single information could lead to their answer! Just before they leave the library, Zhang Jiao thinking that they should go to pay a visit with the Gods. "Oh yeah right! Paid a visit to them! Just in case you forgot, YOU ARE ON GUARD! How am I keep guard on you if you go alone?!" ask Dun. "Well… you can come with me!" reply Zhang Jiao, somehow in excited mood. "Ha! Like we really could g…." before Dun could finish his sentence, Zhang Jiao already take him to teleport to the 'upper side' (which I mean Heaven).
*Other world, Year ??, ??*
Back to the other world, where is the so called 'voodoo' who tried to escape from Zhou Yu? Well, after the hard time from escaping, he using his 'Ninja form' to jump on every single top of the building to reach his destination. Few minutes later, he reach his destination, it was an old, abandon building which no one used to stays long time ago. You could tell that it was once a small, beautiful, architetured building, which later on, for some reason, this building became an abandon old building. As soon as he steps onto the top of building, he transform back to his 'Thief form' and went into that old building.
Slowly, he walk down the old wooden stairs, (as it might brake anytime) until he reach the ground. Once he reach the ground, he walk straight to a hall (mostly look like a church hall) which locate just beside the stairs. As he walk in, the first thing he do was greet, "I'm home". No reply. There was not a single one lives in this building. But who are the one he greeted to? As he walk on, he walk straight towards a bed of flowers (I mean real flowers) which was locate in the middle of the hall, and sit on it.
The hall was rather empty and messy. Most of the broken woods were scattering around messily, and some long wooden chairs (which was still in good condition) were not properly arranged accordingly. (Probably he doesn't have the mood to keep it clean.) So, you could imagine that this building was not being clean for a long time which some of dust and spider web were easily seen all around the building.
"Sorry to make you worried, Mother, I'm home now." Somehow, his mother was not seen around. Probably for someone else would think that he was crazy, talking to himself. But to him, it was normal, as this was his everyday routine. (A habit I should say.)
Without thinking much, he let out a yawn, take out his google and lay himself down on the flower bed as he felt so tired that he could to take a nap. Just when he close his eyes, suddenly, he heard a girl cried for help. This cried, was rather urgent, as if she was in deep trouble.
Without hesitation, he quickly wake up from the bed, pick up his hat which just lay beside the bed, and went to the top of the building and see what is going on. (Of course he did not forget to take his google too). Since he wanted to save the time, he use 'jump' ability (like how we play MultiRaid) to reach the top of the building, and look downward of the building.
To his surprise, he saw a girl was being surrounded by few men. These men are not very nice or either gentlemen type. What they wanted to do was do something mean to the girl. I mean really mean and bad one. The poor girl was no where to run. She had no weapon on her side and worst, no one came to her rescue. "Come on girl, come with us," "Yeah, play with us" "Oh, what's the matter? No where to run? Then let's have some fun," most of the men teased her and wanted to 'attack' her. (You know what it means…)
Seeing the whole scene, he couldn't bare himself just sit and watch. Before he jumps down to the rescue, there was another men came, only thing that, this man bring more bad news. This man was so fat and ugly, like an ogre, and you really could tell that he is a pervert. "Ahhh, there you are. I've been looking everywhere for you. Now be nice and come to papa Dong Zhuo. I'm nice you know~" smile cheekily, he do a pervert stance and even his followers wanted to do the same thing!
"Please, could you let me go?" the innocent girl ask with afraid tone. "Hmm… Let you go?" he started to think hard as if it was a tough question (at the meantime, go near to her). Somehow it was a disappointed answer. "Why would I? You're so beautiful just like your mother and your aunt. If only that brat was not there, or else I had the three of you." he grab her hand, by force. "Since no one was here, why don't you come with me instead, so that you could be my trump card to get them myself! Ha ha ha!" after that, he pull her along side with him and get ready to go back to his 'chamber' while the girl was struggling to get away from them (you could imagine that she was terribly afraid and crying for help).
Just before they took off another steps, suddenly, two of his followers fell down, motionless. They quickly look around them to see whether who are the one been attacking them. "Boss, look, up there!" one of his follower point at the roof. What they saw was just a kid, no, a teenager, wearing a hat and a strange google which covered his eyes. Since he was notice, he decided to jumps down from the roof to reveal himself.
"You! What's the meaning of this?! Wanna die?" "Boss, let us fight him, he's just alone!" "He kill our pal! Let's get him!" most of his followers wanted to get a hand on him, which they think that this was their chance to get him. Most of his followers look at their Boss' reaction and ready for his order. As soon as their Dong Zhuo gives them a signal, they quickly rush towards him and attack him without mercy, with weapons. When the girl saw this event, she was so scared that he might get hurt and begged for his safety (since he was fighting alone with a group of people).
Somehow, out of their expectation, he was a good one. Not only that he's good at speed, but also had some wonderful, and marvelous martial arts style which only Professionals could do it. To him, it was a piece of cake. He just simply dodge, evade, attack, and strike them at the same time (which it just only took around 5 minutes to finish them off and most of the followers had fallen on the ground, injured.)
Now that his followers had fallen, he started to get panic. "Ne…never thought his good…" Dong Zhuo said in a panic tone. After 'voodoo' kick the last follower, he look toward Dong Zhuo with an angry stare (although he's wearing a google, you could sense that he was not joking around) and walk to him, which now make Dong Zhuo really nervous and scared of his butt off!. "Please…please I beg you, don….don kill me!" Dong Zhuo begged yet he still hold the girl's hand. "Let her go", answer with a dangerous tone. Somehow, the pervert Dong Zhuo doesn't want to let her go. As he look back at him, he could sense that this brat was not a 'joker', if he still negotiate with him, he surely will die! "Do or Die" another reply from 'voodoo', but this time he took out his daggers and prepare to kill him anytime soon. "O…Ok, I'll let her go… Just…just don't hurt me", seeing this as a threat, he quickly release the girl's hand and ran away from his life with his remaining followers. "I'll…I'll get you next time! Remember that!"
Later on, he has gone. Now it's just only the girl and 'voodoo'. The 'voodoo' keep his daggers back at his side. The girl look at him with amazement, "Thank you, you …save me." Not looking at her which he still busy keep away his weapon, "you are safe now, go back where you came from," without looking at her, he decided to turn away and leave. Somehow, he felt something weird with the girl, she didn't leave as he told her to. She just stand there and she looks like she was in trouble. "What's wrong?" he ask. "Well, uhm… ",she wouldn't dare to look at him and look at the ground. "Say it," that's it, he needs to know what she really thinking. "I…I live at Area 4 which opposite this Area but I need to go to Area 3 because my mother works there. And lately, lots of bandits and monsters appear for hunt. Fur…further more, he…he (Dong Zhuo) stays there. I…I know I'm asking a bit too much, but could…could you accompany me to Area 3? Please?"
Thinking that she might get a negative answer, he agree, but in one condition, she need to pay him for protection fee. Although at first the girl had a slight thought about it, but in order to go that place, she agree. Like that, they walk together back to Area 3.
Girl: I'm Sun Lei. What's your name?
'Voodoo': I don't have one.
Sun Lei: Then, where did you live? That old building?
Somehow, she did not get any reply from him.
Sun Lei: Oook…Guess you are a shy one.
Since she's so curious, she look at his face, wondering how cute he could be if he did not wear the hat and google on it. She had look at him quite some time now and it really bug him.
'Voodoo': Is…there something on my face?
Sun Lei: No, no, nothing wrong! I…just wondering how cute you are and… how would you look like without those thing on your face. (smiling)
Hearing this answer, he could felt that his face got flash up for all of the sudden, but at the same time, he told himself to settle down, its just a compliment, that's all. (Lucky for him, the hat and google save his face…hooray)
Suddenly, there are two monsters appear. These monsters are wild one. They intended to eat them alive! "Stay back! I'll handle them." Without asking further, Sun Lei quickly hide somewhere safe while 'voodoo' fights the monsters. Of course, not only these monsters on their way, there are also some bandits and monsters luring around and hunt them along their way.
An hours later, they reach their destination. There was a park right in front of Area 3's gate.
Sun Lei: So…here we are. I'll be fine from here.
'Voodoo': As promise, that would be $200.
Sun Lei: That's…a bit expensive… I…I might not have that much…
'Voodoo': You could pay me anytime. But try to pay me back as soon as possible. (he started to turn away and walk)
Sun Lei: Wait!
'Voodoo' stop and turn towards her.
Sun Lei: (try to find her words) um… There's one more thing I need your help… (before she could finish her wards, 'voodoo' interrupts)
'Voodoo': If you can't afford to pay that much, why should you need some more help?
Sun Lei: I…I….
'Voodoo': Look, that is that. I'm looking forward my pay (then he walk off)
Sun Lei: That pendent, it's…it's important to me and my mother! ('Voodoo' stops) It's a gift from my father. We barely saw him around and that pendent was the only thing that important for the both of us! I don't know how to told her if I say that pendent now was on the man's hand and surely, she'll be sad… (her eyes, full of tears now and started to cry)
'Voodoo': *sigh* The man you mention, is it Dong Zhuo? (He look at her and see that she just nod her head. As he look at her, deep in his heart, he had a strange feelings that he never encounter before. The more he look at her, the more he felt like… he had to help her. It was a rather unexplainable expression he could state) oh boy, another mission for me. I could help you (Sun Lei's face started to light up), but as you know, I'll charge for that…
Sun Lei: I…see, so it's gonna be expensive (Before 'voodoo' could say any, suddenly Sun lei had an idea) How about this, instead pay back all the amount, why don't we changed the deal instead? I…I know saying this now would be too late, but I was hoping that I could take this chance to know you more? What do you say?
'Voodoo': (With a shock, he doesn't know how to reply her deal) What…What are you trying to say? Know me more…? …Why?
Sun Lei: I don't know (with playful tone), I felt like…I could I trust you. So, I thought I could get this chance to know you, beside, you're too quiet. You know what my mother would say? You'll get sick easily.
'Voodoo': OK…. I didn't knew this went too far… Ok, you said that you want to know me more, how would you do that? (Somehow he felt that he had a strange feelings gonna happen)
Sun Lei: (thinking) Hm… How about… a date? ('Voodoo' was so shock that he only could think was 'What?!') Don't worry about paying the cost, I'll pay for it. I'll treat you! (She's so excited that she's really hoping that he could agree with her)
'Voodoo': Ok, that's it, I'm outta here. Look, I'll help you to get the pendent, once I got it, I'll give back to you. I promise. (He quickly turn and 'jump' to Dong Zhuo's direction)
Sun Lei: Ah! I'll at a shop call 'Garden Café', meet me there! (She try to scream as loud as she could so that he could heard where the place they should meet)
As he keep jumps from roof to roof, he was so glad that he had got away from her. But, somewhere deep in his heart, he wanted to meet her again. A date, huh? Hm…maybe I should…
*China, 195AD*
Da Qiao: Huu… I'm glad Lei was alright.
Sun Ce: (Look at Dong Zhuo) You, pig! Don't think that you could get away with that!
Zhou Yu: Yes, if I see you trying to do something on my Xiao Qiao, you know what will happen…
Most of the warriors stare at Dong Zhuo as if he's really done something.
Dong Zhuo: Hey, what's the meaning of this?!
All: You should figure yourself!
Not long later, another screen shows an image, this time, it shows Gan Ning and the others.
Huang Zhong: Uh… Aren't these screens only show Jiang Wei, Cao Ren, and Lu Xun, then why now it shows Ma Chao and the others?
Zuo Ci: Actually, we could also see them too. But it depends. If they stick together with the dead one, then, it might had a chance to observe what they were doing…
Liu Bei: Wait. Now are you trying to say that either Jiang Wei or Cao Ren would appear now?
Zuo Ci: I believe so, but, as I say, it depends on the screen.
SSX: I wonder what they were doing now?
Alright, that's it for today. Next chapter, Gan Ning and the others who fell into this 'other world' would meet their friends (I mean the other world's friend). And plus, more adventures awaits them. So stay tune and keep update, ya!
