Drat sarn it! Still raining, and it's nearing the End of May! Worse yet: I seem to be forgetting to do something since people have trouble finding my Polls to answer, but to top the whole mess off: I still have no 1-way Airline Ticket to Anchorage, Alaska!
Gamergirl101: What's this evil you speak of: 'Similar to Zorc, and some Villains like Dartz, Noah Kaiba, and some others join Yugi and Friends to stop it'? Who or what is this thing, what's it after, and why do Yugi and friends need Dartz and Noah to stop it? 'A sequel'? A sequel to what, 'Test of Creativity'? Please PM me details.
To Toadstool89: I'm sorry if I credited Gamergirl101 for your idea in a previous chapter.
To Both Toadstool89 And Gamergirl101: Truth be spoken from the bottom of my Golden Heart of Hearts, there's way too much going on in my life right now, and I haven't exactly had enough practice that I can tune it all out and remember who said what, and if it was in a Review or a Personal Message. (Which is Stupid because I'm a Natural-Born Fan-Fiction/Fantasy-Fiction Author.)
To my Readers and Followers: Whatever am I doing wrong as you can't find my questions? My question for this story is: "What does the monster in the game look like?" And by this I mean: What form does it take inside the game the first time, what form does it take the second time, what form does it take the first time in the real world, what form does it take in the real world the second time?
To any fans of Super Smash Brothers for Nintendo 3ds: Who knows how to save an image from my Nintendo 3ds to my laptop, or how to get Photoshop? (Or however you spell it) So I can make the image of my Misaki Mii Swordfighter, and save it as the Cover Image for this fic.
So here's a chapter where, hopefully, I can show some of the Heroes' training, maybe present the Virtual game they're supposed to enter, and whoever created the game.
Fun Fact: (Hope all you Readers of mine enjoy it) I have this alarm on my GalaxyNote3 to remind me when it's time to work on my stories on certain nights. The alarm is the Linkin Park song: "Burn It Down" I like it so much, I almost feel a sort of "Connection" it has with this fic. Heck, I might even use it a few times in this story, and in "Animated Legends Unite"
Bold means Music, sounds, signs, computer voice speaking. Italics means Dreams, Memories, Telepathy, the Legend, (The 'Virtualegend', the name of this fic I ought to say, as it takes place inside a Virtual Adventure game,) and writing in a Hero's Diary.
Stage 5: Game on: Training
Alysa woke up early the next morning, whether from inability to sleep, or from sensing someone feeling uneasy, she didn't know. The up side was she didn't care enough to question it. She rolled over onto her side and checked the digital clock on her nightstand:
5:45 AM
Sighing, she got up, stretched, strapped on her robe for warmth, and opened her door.
She stared for a moment at the lineup of rooms: Jaden and Alexis were in the room directly opposite of hers, Aryll was with Serena in the room on her right, Link and Saria were in the room on Serena's right. Across from Serena was Jimmy's room. To his left, directly across from Serena and Aryll was Hart's room. That left Dirk and Aggie in the last room on Alysa's side of the hall, and Maria's room directly across from them.
From what she could sense: Everyone was in their rooms, even though not all of them were asleep at the moment. Except for one...
"Maria?" Alysa asked aloud, not really expecting an answer. She decided she should follow her stomach and get some breakfast.
Castle Dining Hall
Maria looked up from the table as Alysa entered the room.
"Oh. Alysa."
"Good morning Maria," Alysa replied, waving her hand. Upon sitting down with the Trillionairess, Alysa saw no plate, bowl or glass.
"Not really hungry huh," she sighed. "That can't be good, especially given the battle we're supposed to be training for. How about you and I get some breakfast and we can just sit here and talk?"
Maria simply nodded.
"Right over there," Alysa said, pointing to an odd-looking panel on the far wall: It was a large green computer-like thing, with several white buttons to press, and three square slots that looked like they were made for holding coffee cups. [1] Maria gazed at the device. Then Alysa had to shake her head, and she gently took Maria's wrist and led her over to the panel.
"What are you hungry for?" asked the Gold-Hearted Ninja to the Trillionairess, "There's Eggs, Bacon, Toast, Juice, Sausage..."
After a quick scan of the controls, Maria selected Orange Juice, Sausages, Ham, and some Potato Wedges. Then Alysa stepped up in line and ordered the same, with the exception of Eggs instead of Ham.
After a few minutes of just eating their breakfast, Maria finally broke the silence.
"I just can't believe what happened to me," she said. Alysa quirked an eyebrow.
"What happened when?" she asked. Maria sipped her juice and looked at her.
"There was a terrible man, who wanted to hold me for ransom, and use the money to build nuclear weapons to conquer the world."
"That was Galactor," said a voice behind them. They turned and saw Dirk, Link, and Jaden making their way to the table.
"You're lucky," Alysa said, patting Maria's shoulder. "At least you know who your parents are. I almost didn't know mine."
Alysa's Memory:
She lay in the plastic crib in the Hospital, the doctors had finally finished changing the stitches over the gash down Serenity's middle when she woke up. She was cold, thirsty, and lonely.
"Shall I bring you your baby?" asked Joy, the nice night nurse who helped deliver Alysa for Serenity.
"Please do," said Serenity, "she must be cold and lonely."
Joy gently bundled one month old Alysa in a warm blanket, and laid her in Serenity's waiting arms, where the child began gently sucking the milk from the bottle.
The Cycle repeated, as explosions broke in the sky. All that I needed, was the one thing I couldn't find.
Of course, Alysa had waited for the Heroes to get some breakfast so they all could hear. While her story seemed short, all eyes save Astral's were welling up with tears.
"What the Dragon?" Jimmy asked, brows furrowed and fist clenched.
"The Black-Hearted Westerners?" Hart asked nervously.
"Well, much as I hate to ruin the moment for everyone," Serenity interrupted, "I need to remind you all that it's pushing nine o'clock and you all need to get to the Dojo to start training."
At her words, they all stood up from the table and followed her down a hallway to the center of the castle.
"We are going back to the Throne Room?" Astral asked.
"There's something in there we didn't see last time, when we first arrived here," said Aggie.
As they reached the "Throne Room", Serenity ordered a guard to get "The Suits" The guard complied with the orders of his Queen and left the room. Serenity also gestured to Alysa to go to the left of the room, which she did.
Jimmy was about to ask what she was doing, when he heard a sound from Alysa's current position in the room.
Click!
From above, there came what looked like a complete Obstacle Course complete with: Rock wall, what looked like Punching Bags on a spinning circular platform, and even a set of wooden swords swining from a raised bar.
"Not too shabby," Jimmy said, genuinely impressed. The others agreed: Some nodded without saying anything, some gave Thumbs-Up signs, and some just said: "Woah!"
"The suits as requested," said the guard Serenity had signaled earlier from the door. He set down a crate in the middle of the circle the Heroes had formed. Opening it, Hart gasped and fell back on his bottom.
Within the box were up to twelve suits of "Armor" with what looked like: Mii Force Helmet, [2] elbow-length purple gloves without fingers, [3] and Baseball Catcher's shin and chest guards.
"Wow! Awesome!" Hart cried out.
"Try them on," Serenity gently instructed. The Heroes all strapped on their suits and turned to face the queen.
"These Power Suits have two functions: First, they can protect you from gettting hurt when the obstacles hit you. Second, the helmets are equipped with a Virtual-Reality system that can feed directly into the game."
"What is this game?" Dirk asked. Alysa shook her head.
"I wish I knew what it was and where to find it," she said.
"Let's start with just the Obstacle Course for a while," Serenity instructed. "After you master this, we'll work on designing your characters for the game when we get word of what it is and where it's located."
We're building it up, to break it back down. We're building it up, to burn it down. We can't wait, to burn it to the Ground
And so the Young Heroes began their Training. First, the Windy Wings tried their luck, with Aggie getting knocked back by a spinning dummy. Then Link tried his luck, getting hit in the side by a sword. And even Maria, who really wasn't used to having to get up and around, being rich enough to be waited on and all, tried her luck.
She got as close to the Rock wall at the far side, but she slipped and fell on the mat on the floor at the bottom of the Rock Wall.
"That should be enough for now," Serenity said. "Get some lunch, relax for the rest of the afternoon, and we will try again tomorrow."
Click! The guard pulled the lever and turned off the Obstacle Course.
How was that? Maybe I'll just have a chapter or two where the Heroes just sit and talk, and decipher the Prophecy.
