Other world, other me
The atmosphere was pretty tense ever since Huang Gai knew who Lu Xun are and none of them dare to mention about Lu Xun as Huang Gai still not intend to forgive him at all. They walk through the snow storm and literally reach another level of the mountain top. They saw another tunnel and went in it as it was the only way to reach another level of the mountain. Xu Huang was out of space, as if he was thinking something seriously.
Ma Chao: What you thinking?
Xu Huang: Um, well…
Ling Tong: Let me guess, you still thinking who're spy among us!
Gan Ning: What? Not that again… The last time we almost had a fight because of this…
Xu Huang: Well, yes, I still wondering about that, but it's not what you think, I just… had some thoughts in my mind that's all…
Ma Chao: Hm? What could it be? Is there something more important than that?
Xu Huang: Nah, I just wondering why we travel in the first place that's all… These situation getting colder than I thought…
Gan Ning: You don't say! Ever since we knew who Lu Xun was, everything change!
Ling Tong: Yeah, if only I be more careful, or else, everything won't go wrong!
Ma Chao: Even if you did, I don't think he gonna let him go that easily… (they look at Huang Gai)
Ling Tong: I guess you're right! He hates them!
Gan Ning: You know, I felt like we're not make it after all…
Ling Tong: (he hits Gan Ning's head) You idiot! Don't simply just say that! Of course we gonna make it through!
Gan Ning: Hey, watch it! (he rub his head in pain) I'm trying to say was if this keeps up, this team gonna split anytime soon, it's not that we gonna died here or what…
Ling Tong: Oh, sorry, I thought you say…
Gan Ning: Nah, it's ok. Besides, I just hope that nothing went wrong, that's all, or else, everything going to be complicated again…
Xu Huang: Say, does anyone remember why we're on this journey again? I feels like we have no purpose at all…
Ma Chao: What're you talking about! We go on because we're run away from those Soldiers remember! Huang Gai too! He follow us because he was chase by them. Jiang Wei follow us because he hopes he could finds his memory, as for Huang Zhong, he thinks this trip was fun and decided to follow which he too was chase by those soldiers. As for Lu Xun, well… I don't know why he follow us in the first place! And as for Cao Ren, he was chasing after Lu Bu. So, that's how we came about!
Xu Huang: Oh yeah, I forgot about that…
Ling Tong: What's got in to you? You seems trouble…
Xu Huang: Nothing… Just feels like we just being drag to nowhere…
Ma Chao: Well, it's better than stuck in dungeon…
Gan Ning: But, had you wonder what we'll do once we meet Lu Bu? Fight him? It's not like we could defeat him that easily!
Cao Ren: That one, you don't have to worry a thing! If we fight together, I'm sure we could win! I'm sure of it! (he suddenly spoke up which startle them)
Huang Zhong: Hah! He should see how this old bone could do!
Ma Chao: Uh… old man, just in case you're not aware of it, we're facing Lu Bu! The strongest man in the world!
Huang Zhong: So what? You think I could not do it?
Ma Chao: No, it's not what I mean!
Wei Yan: You…old… careful…
Huang Zhong: Like what you know? I could take care of myself, so don't worry about it!
Ma Chao: But still… (he let out a sigh)
Xu Huang: But Cao Ren, why do you intend to chase after Lu Bu? Was it because he want to destroy the world? I want to know.
Cao Ren: Um… well, you could say that so… If we did not stop him, then who else? Since that thing was destroy, I doubt that he had plan on his mind now, so be careful!
Xu Huang: But how bad would it be? How would a 'Crystal' could do with destroying the world?
Jiang Wei: That one, I don't know, you could ask Lu Xun about this, he knew better than us…
Huang Gai: Heck! Anyone but him!
Jiang Wei: Huang Gai! He's the only one who knew this…!
Huang Gai: Like I want to listen from him! He's… taboo!
Jiang Wei: *sigh* Huang Gai, can't you just give up that thought just for once? (but Huang Gai just ignore and walks fort, which he just lower his head)
As they walk fort, they reach end of the tunnel. To their nightmare, they need to cross the snow again. Same as always, they took out their map and mark the trail carefully. But few hours had pass and it seems endless, plus started getting tired! They look around, to their horror, the trail that they suppose to be mark was gone! Now they're in deep trouble, they got lost in the middle of the snow!
They look around them, only white land they could see. As they tried to figure which way they should take, they saw a figure came by. It had a lady's body shape, and having a beautiful face, like snow! As they thought they were safe, she floats in the air! They surprise and quickly took out their weapon, ready to attack! She did not back off. She open her mouth slightly and blows cool breezes at them! They stand still, tried to overcome the wind as it was blowing harshly at them. But soon crumble at their feet, since it was too cold! Without any choices, Jiang Wei took out a 'Crystal' which was red in color and throw it at her. The 'Crystal' shines, blinded the girl.
They quickly stand up, hoping could run away, but the girl soon find out and she was furious! Instead of blowing, she lifts up her hand and summon 'Ice', targeting them! They evade as fast as they could as the Ice keep shooting at them! Now, they feeling hopeless! They had no chance to gone near her at all! Jiang Wei thought for awhile and decided to summon Tien Lu. Within a blink, they saw a light from the sky and Tien Lu flies down gently, standing beside Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei pat his head gently and gives him the order to attack the girl. Without mercy, Tien Lu charges at her with it's full speed! The girl tried to shoots at it but quickly evade as she almost crushed by Tien Lu.
While Tien Lu was busy fighting against the girl, they quickly use this chance to run, but for some reason, Jiang Wei can't leave the scene as he had to order Tien Lu and finish this once and for all. They feel guilty for leaving him and decided to attack the girl! She struggles, and finally defeated by Cao Ren. She hold her pain and knelt down, transform into a 'Crystal'. Cao Ren took it cautiously and look at it surprisingly, wondering why she transform herself into 'Crystal'. As they wondering the same thing, they heard something fell off behind them. They look back, notice that Jiang Wei was on the ground, unconscious. Ma Chao lifts him up, tried to wake him, but he did not response and his face started to get pale! They quickly look at the map and study once again, but to their dismay, it was all covered in snow and they had lost their direction!
They yell out loud, hoping someone could heard them. To their relief, there was a man came by. He noticed them and run to them. Without hesitate, he quickly leads them to his hut and let Jiang Wei rest. They thank him and told him what had happen just now. The man understood and told them that they just meet Lady Ice, (who was a creature just like Tien Lu and Wu), and as it was say that she was the ghost and protector of this icy mountain. Although he still don't believe that they defeat her, (since they say she was unstoppable), but finally admits and told them that to be more careful when 'using' her.
Couple minutes later, Jiang Wei regain his consciousness. He could feels his body was weak! He tried to stand but sit back as he was too weak to lift himself up. Outside the room, they heard something falling on the floor and went in the room. They saw Jiang Wei sits on the floor, trying to stand. They stop him and ask him to rest as he just got himself recover. At first Jiang Wei resists, since they still had a long way to go, but as he tried to stand again, he finally give up the thought and rest for awhile.
The man was kind enough to let them stay as much as they could, and he also gives them some guidance about this mountain. Once they feel they had enough strength to go, they thank the man again and started to climb the mountain. This time it was more easier. All they need to do was just follow the trail that the man gave them until they reach a cave. He also told them that he saw a man with huge figure pass by one day ago and he too went to the same direction as they are.
Just as the man say, there was a cave. When they went in, they could feel something eerie in it, as if something bad gonna happen. They take a deep breathe and went in. It was dark at first, but as they went in further, they saw light shine through from the top and they could see clearer as they saw three paths right in front of them. They discuss and think of which way should they take as they don't know Lu Bu had taken which path. They started to argue as their decision was different than the others. They sigh in defeat, wanted to separate themselves into few groups just to be notified their plan. Wei Yan looks around and saw some weird writing on the wall. He motion them to look at it and it was a riddle!
Wei Yan: Look… here… Writing… on…wall… (they walk to him and read the writing as he say)
Ling Tong: Hm… it looks like a riddle to me… "Lead you to Heaven' What's that mean?
Ma Chao: Look at this! (he too saw another writing on the other side) It says, 'Lead to where you came from.' What would that mean? We'll go back to where we came from?
Gan Ning: Yeah, but from where?
Huang Gai: Hey, I saw another one here! It says, 'Lead you to Hell' Would that mean he use this path?
Cao Ren: Hm… It might be cuz he did wanted to destroy the world right? I guess it would be this then…
Ling Tong: But wait! What if it's not! It could indicate other meaning too! Like to Heaven. Maybe it also meant destroy…
Ma Chao: But, it's heaven! Obviously it does not bring any meaning of destroying the world, so I guess it's not this…
Ling Tong: Hey, you never know! Some riddles like to fool people! So I guess we should take this path!
Ma Chao: No, this!
Ling Tong: No, this!
They started to argue again as none of their opinion came to them in one. Jiang Wei quietly thought and look at the riddle again.
Jiang Wei: Ok… three path right in front of us, and it definitely lead us to a place… The problem is, which one? Which path does Lu Bu take and which path does lead to destroy? Hell? Could be… but Heaven might indicate the same thing too, like Ling Tong say… Of course it's obviously not 'Lead to where you came from', if we follow that, we'll go back to where we came from… But again, what it mean where we came from? Here? Or outside?…Nah, impossible! It's pretty obvious but which path should we take? Hell or Heaven? Think Jiang Wei think… if I were the one who create these path and tried to told someone, what should I say? (he thinks deeper and finally came to an answer) I know, Heaven!
They look at him surprisingly, never expect he would thought such a thing!
Ma Chao: Whoa, whoa, Heaven? Why Heaven? Aren't Hell would be suitable?
Jiang Wei: My guess would be this, remember back in the island where we meet Lu Bu? And do you remember he say how those key were created? It was created by SiHuang Mu right? So, my judgment was this, since she was the one who created it, and plus she's a god. Probably her clan think that using Heaven would be the best way to remember who she was and how she seal it. So… would that make sense? (he looks at them with one eye open, wondering what they think)
They just speechless, wondering what kind of logical thinking is that?
Huang Gai: What? Is that the only thing you could think of?
Jiang Wei: Then explain why you choose Hell?
Huang Gai: Well, just as we explain, because he wanted to destroy the world, and destroy only make it like Hell!
Jiang Wei: True, but still…!
Huang Zhong: Ah! Who cares now! Why don't we just split to two groups and went on?
Ling Tong: Wouldn't that be danger? Cuz you never know what's in there?
Huang Zhong: Well, we could just runaway from it and ask for help, right?
Somehow they just shook their head and follow Huang Zhong's plan. Now they had split to two groups. Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Jiang Wei, and Wei Yan will went in Heaven's path, while Huang Gai, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Xu Huang and Cao Ren will went in hell's path. They went in and take their own path.
In Hell,s path, they quickly turn away and join the others as there was a strong shield block their way. Now that they were together, they advance without arguing. Just as expected, it was a path that lead them to where Lu Bu are as they saw him from far. They quickly chase him down. Lu Bu saw them, and run, as if leading them to somewhere. Without realizing anything, they were now in a large room with wall surrounded and they notice Lu Bu was on top of them. With one swing, they fall on the ground, move less. Lu Bu smirk and jumps down, feeling satisfied. They tried to stand but soon fall as Lu Bu gives them another force. They feeling helpless and stay on ground, growl in pain. Lu Bu laugh out loud and walk toward them.
Lu Bu: My, my, is that all? What a pity…
Cao Ren: Lu Bu! You won't get away with this…
Lu Bu: And then what? You going to do the same thing like before?
Cao Ren: No more dwelt! First you destroy the whole town in Yi Ling and now you wanted to destroy the world, I won't allow it!
Lu Bu: Ha! Like you could! I done it because I aware that you human always live in lowly lives! Always depends on each other and harm each other in order to live! What a laugh! You should see their faces! All screams in ugliness! They never know what had got to them! Ha ha ha!
Cao Ren: Why you? You're monster! No, worst than that!
Lu Bu: I could say the same thing to you! You did the same thing as Monster did! Didn't you human lied too? You cheat, kill, steal, all of it, aren't those what you human did for the whole time? What a joke! You should see who you talking with and know your place! (he looks around, notice Lu Xun was no where around) By the way, where was that boy? I don't see him anywhere…Oh, did I kill him? No, no, no! It's too easy for him to died just like that! Further more, I still sense his present… So tell me, where was he?
Cao Ren: He had nothing to do with this! So quit it!
Lu Bu: Oh did he? I see… But are you sure that he had nothing to do with it? For what I remember, he did had something to do with it! Ha, ha, ha! (they look at each other in horror, they never expect he had something to do with Lu Xun too) Foolish human, you never aware of this didn't you? You just follow blindly and don't know a thing, especially at Yi Ling!
Cao Ren: Of course I know! You burn and kill the whole villagers without mercy! When the time I came, they had died!
Lu Bu: Oh, you mean like this? (he lifts up his hand and summon, changing the whole place into Yi Ling!)
They look in horror! Although it was an illusion, but it was too real! They saw nothing but the way how Lu Bu kill those villagers! Most of them scream in horror and died in vain as their body had split into half! Lu Bu also shows them how he advance to the maze and kill the soldiers! They feel disgust, wanted to turn away! But they could not as they saw a boy who had google on his face charge at Lu Bu furiously! He jumps at him, wanted to slain him from the top, but fail as Lu Bu's spear had pierce through his body! Lu Bu smirk and keep stabbing him in the air. The boy cried in pain! Lot of bloods split out everywhere and finally, he throw his body throw, leaving him half dead! They look at the boy's face, he was suffering! He could not speak or breathe normally! Then a man came, he held the boy's head and ask him to stay with him. They quickly recognize who he was, it was Zhang Liao! Now this really surprise them, started wondering why he was here? The boy hold his hand, ask him to defeat him.
Zhang Liao stands and charge at Lu Bu with full force! They fights furiously and in the end, both got cut on their stomach! They fell on the ground, tried to find their strength to stands and fight. Zhang Liao manage to gather his strength. He held up his weapon, wanted slain him but instead he was slain from back! He looks back, noticed it was a soldier who stab him! Zhang Liao looks in terrified, hold his pain. The soldier did not just leave that, he press in even harder and finally stab through his body which it also stab Lu Bu at the same time! Zhang Liao yell in pain. The soldier just stand there, holding the weapon. The boy looks in horror! He held up his hand, wanted to help, but his strength could not allow to do so! He just lay there and watch Zhang Liao died in front of him! The soldier looks at them with cold eye. Once he confirm they had died, he turn to the boy and looks at him with the same eye! The boy could only watch in terror, hoping this was just a dream! The soldier walks fort, lift up his weapon and stab! The boy cried in pain, but soon fade as he had lost conscious. The soldier stand and leave the scene. Just like that, and everything went back to normal. They look in horror, never expect this kind of scene would happen in front of them! Even war would happen as serious as this!
Lu Bu: Now, do you see what had happen?
Cao Ren: You monster!
Lu Bu: I hope this makes everything clear to you. As you just see, you're no hero at all! You just play the game and join in! That's all!
Cao Ren: What are you trying to say? Don't make a fool! I know what had happen and you just twisted it!
Lu Bu: My, my, not give up didn't you? Shall I invite our dear witness to you? He saw everything what had happen back then…
Cao Ren: What're you talking about! There's no way there was such person anymore! You kill them remember?
Lu Bu: True, I've kill them, but somehow is out of my expectation. You see, I never even thought I could meet him either… and know what? He's been traveling with you the whole time and you fools just did not aware of it…
They look at each other, wondering who was he mention about. Lu Bu just smirk, lift his hand up and summon a hole. They prepare themselves, just in case they were being attack. But to their unexpected, a man with a google came out from the hole. He looks around confusingly, wondering how he came here. As he looks around, he only saw his friends looking at him weirdly, which he did not aware Lu Bu was there. Gan Ning quickly recognize who he was as he fights with him in He Fei!
Gan Ning: You! You're the one I fight in He Fei!
Ma Chao: What?
Gan Ning: Remember I told you I fight with someone before? He steals something Dong Zhuo and I chase him down!
Ling Tong: Which unfortunately he got away…
Gan Ning: Well, I never expect to meet him here!
?: (he looks around confusingly, still wondering how he came here as he remember he was just about to fulfill his Mission and here he was! He looks around again, hoping he could get the answer from his friends who now looking at him weirdly) Jiang Wei? Cao Ren? Why you guys here? And why am I here? How did I get here? (they surprise, wondering how he knew them)
Huang Gai: Whoa! How did you know us?
?: Of course I know! Or else why I ask you in the first place? I just want to know how I came here!
Huang Gai: Wait a minute! Who the heck were you! Reveal yourself!
?: What do you mean reveal myself? I'm Lu Xun! Can't you recognize? (they were surprise, and look at him with wide eye. He sighs and took off his google, revealing himself!) Now did that answer your question?
Huang Gai: What on earth he was doing here? (he wanted to hit him, but stop by his friend) Let me go!
Jiang Wei: Huang Gai, calm down! (he walks toward Lu Xun and pull him aside just in case Huang Gai might hurt him) Lu Xun, why you came here? Aren't you suppose…
Lu Xun: How the heck I know! The minutes I was doing my job and before I knew it, here I am!
Ling Tong: I think you should ask him! He was the one who make you came here cuz we saw him open a hole just now! Something about meeting witness, I guess… (he points at Lu Bu which he was standing behind him)
Lu Xun: (he looks behind and surprise, as if saw a ghost! Without hesitate, he took out his weapon for defense) What…what was he doing here? And what do you mean witness?
Lu Bu: There, there! Don't be scare, I won't kill you this time. I just only invite you cuz I want you to explain something to him. (he looks at Cao Ren) You see, he accuse me that I was telling a lie about Yi Ling's incident, so I thought maybe you could enlighten this up… for us…
Lu Xun: You told them, didn't you? (Lu Bu nod) Then why you still need me for?
Cao Ren: Lu Bu! He had nothing to do with this! Quit it!
Lu Bu: On your contrary, he HAD something to do with it and he was about to tell you how wrong you are!
Cao Ren: You don't have to worried a thing Lu Xun! This idiot just think that he could play a fool with us!
Lu Bu: I wouldn't say that if I were you. You saw everything didn't you? So tell him how wrong he was!
Cao Ren: Lu Xun, don't listen to him! He just playing a fool with us! (at the same time, Lu Xun started to feels scare and confuse, don't know what to do anymore)
Lu Bu: I see, you don't want to say it, very well… (he took out a 'Crystal' and throw at them) Look carefully! There was something you should see!
Lu Xun: (he started to panic as he saw 'Crystal' and tried to stop them but took away by Huang Gai) N…No! Don't! (but quickly halt as Lu Bu's spear was pointed at him. Jiang Wei quickly pull him behind him, protect him)
Huang Gai: (he pick it up and notice it was a recorder) It's a recorder!
Gan Ning: Well, play it!
Huang Gai lowered his hand and press 'play'.
Recorder…
The camera shows Zhang Liao face as he look nearer, which it makes his face looks bigger, and soon zoom smaller as he turn the camera around, shooting at the boy, who now trained by himself. Zhang Liao leaves the camera like that and walks toward the boy.
Zhang Liao: Training alone?
Boy: (he stops and looks at him) Yes! (did not aware the camera shooting at him)
Zhang Liao: Hm… you work hard lately, wanted to prove a thing or two for your master?
Boy: Yes, I am! I still had lots of things to learn from him and I hope I could work with him someday…
Zhang Liao: You really can't wait that day came, didn't you?
Boy: Yup! You could say that so!
Zhang Liao: Ha, ha, ha! Now you done it! Hey listen, could you do me a favor? Transform yourself into 'Warrior' form and take off your google.
Boy: Hm? Why? Is there something wrong?
Zhang Liao: No! Nothing wrong! I just wanted to spar with you, besides, don't you feel uncomfortable wearing google on it? So I thought maybe you could just take it off for once…
Boy: Liao! You know why I can't take it off! And why the heck I need to take it off? Is there something wrong? You act funny all of the sudden…
Zhang Liao: Well, look around you! There's no one here, so, take it off! Please… (he do a puppy eye, tried to make him take off his google)
Boy: (he looks at him with suspicious eye, not buying it) I don't think so! I sense something fishy here…
Zhang Liao: Oh come on, all I'm asking was just take off your google right? Is that really hard for you?
Boy: Well… no… but…
Zhang Liao: No more but! Just take it off already!
Boy: (he still looks at him with suspicion, wondering why he was so desperate want him to take off his google. He looks around, wanted to take it off, suddenly he heard noises coming from the village! He turn and surprise, the village was in fire. Without thinking much, he run toward the village) The village on fire! We need to go!
Zhang Liao: Whoa wait a sec! Lu Xun! Oh crap! (he turns off the camera)
They look at Lu Xun with surprise, he was there after all! Lu Xun just stand there, speechless.
Lu Bu: Now do you know what it mean?
Cao Ren: (he shook his head) No, Lu Bu… This might be one of your trick! If he was there, he'll say it!
Lu Bu: Ah! But the problem is… he did not want to say it! So tell them now boy, say that you are there! Say you saw everything! Told them the truth!
They're all looking at Lu Xun, hoping he could explain everything. Lu Xun feels lots of pressure on him! He grabs his head tightly, tremble in fear as he remember those horrible scene! Jiang Wei stands fort, looks at Lu Bu dangerously.
Jiang Wei: Lu Bu! You know the whole thing and yet you want him to say it again! What were you thinking? What good would that gives? He had enough of this, why can't you just let him go?
Lu Bu: You have no right to say that too… If I was right, you had something you're not telling them either, am I right? (Jiang Wei quiet now, knew that he caught his weakness) Hm! Think before you say vermin! Now back to you boy, tell them or I'll do the same thing as I did to you like before!
He ready his spear as he was ready to attack Lu Xun anytime soon. Of course they want to stop him but a gun shoot cut them. They look back, notice Lu Xun had stood up, not trembling anymore. He had transform to 'Gunner' form and he was pointing his gun at Lu Bu!
Lu Xun: You want the truth? Is that what you ask for? (he ask in dangerous tone, as if wanted to kill someone)
Lu Bu: Hm! Finally! That take you long enough!
Lu Xun: (Jiang Wei want to stop him but he rejected. He breathes deep and look at them) I could told you the truth, but! You guys gonna hate this for sure!
So what's the truth gonna be expose, stay tune for more!
