Chapter 5 ✱ The Encounter
[Hakuryuu's POV]
"How do you think Aladdin is doing?" Alibaba asked while we were still running. "He'll be fine. Don't -" I was cut short by a blast of water shaped like a sword coming towards us. "Look out!" I said as I used my weapon djinn equip to block off the attack.
"You're quite strong to be able to block off Vinea's attack..." a girl with red hair and red eyes said. "Kougyoku?!" I said. "What are you doing here?!" Alibaba shouted. "My.. He's quite the noisy one, isn't he?" the guy, named Ka Koubun, beside Kougyoku said.
"What! Who's the noisy one?!" Alibaba shouted. "Sigh... Ka Koubun, stand back," Kougyoku said as Ka Koubun stepped back, while she turned back to look at us. "So which one of you is going to be my challenger?" Kougyoku said. None of us moved. "I see..." she said, looking pretty disappointed. At that moment, Kougyoku put her sword in front of her.
"Spirit of Sorrow and Isolation, in the name of my Magoi, and my will to grant me a greater power, I order you and your members. Come forth, Vinea!" Kougyoku's body started transforming to be able to use Vinea's power. Her hands started to grow fins at the side and had scales. Her legs had the same effect. Alibaba and I immediately used our djinn equip just as Kougyoku did.

"Where...are...you...hiding?" the psychotic doll said. Shit... I can't believe this is actually happening... Anya... Flynn... Where are you guys?!
-Few minutes earlier-
"Wait, Where's Flynn?" I asked. "He's... right... here... hihihihi," a voice from behind us said. As a natural reflex, we all looked at the source of the voice. "Karujiko..." we said. "Saa... Let the games start... hihihihihi..." Karujiko said with the same psychotic look.
Flynn was right below her. She was standing on him! And the thing that frightened me was that... Flynn looked so pale... It was like life was sucked out of him. "What's the game?!" Anya shouted at Karujiko. She smiled a really creepy smile that brought chills to my spine.
"What did you do to Flynn?!" I yelled at Karujiko. "He's my master..." Karujiko said, looking at Flynn's left ring finger. Now looking at it, I realized that there was a ring ordained by a beautiful white rose with realistic thorns around the ring itself on his left ring finger. "What do you mean... Master?" I asked, raising my voice slightly.
"Hihihihihi... My power... and my life source... My precious master..." Karujiko said, laying a hand on Flynn's cheeks. I was terrified. Suddenly she turned to us with that creepy smile plastered to her face. "The game... has begun..." Karujiko said as darkness enclosed around us.
-The present-
After that, I had a dream, a dream where if Karujiko finds us, we'll be better off dead. When I woke up, I appeared in a place that looked like a deserted, ancient city. There were normal houses everywhere. There was even slums and there were farms too that were obviously empty.
Suddenly a bell rang. The game had already started. It was a kids game, tag, and the 'it' is Karujiko. The game will stop if we managed to enter a room full of broken dolls but if Karujiko touches us before that, I don't know what would happen...all I can think is that it's something beyond horrifying... Now I better find Anya before that crazy maniac doll finds me.
[Anya's POV]
Morgiana! Where are you?! I was shouting that in my mind, knowing that I can't shout out to call her using my voice or Karujiko will find me. Halfway running, I heard footsteps behind me. I don't wanna turn back, afraid if Karujiko is behind me. I continued running. Somehow I have a feeling that doll is in the castle.
I continued running, trying to find a place to hide before Karujiko finds me or Morgiana. I looked back for a while and suddenly I crash into something and fell. I looked up, expecting to see Karujiko, instead in her place, I see Morgiana. "Morgiana!" I whispered, nearly shouting out her name without a second's thought. "Lets go somewhere safe... I found a place quite hidden in the farms side..." Morgiana said as she helped me up. After that, we continued towards the farms.
[Hakuryuu's POV]
"Come on! Is that all you've got?!" Kougyoku shouted as she continued to use her Djinn's powers, summoning out blasts after blasts of water. All we could do for now is just dodge. I decided to stop. I held my sword like a bow and arrow. "Zaug Aluazra!" I shouted as I used my magoi with Zagan's powers to fire multiple monsters at Kougyoku, giving a chance for Alibaba to use his extreme magic.
Just as I found an opening, I shot an intense glance to Alibaba that shouted 'Use the extreme magic!' and he nodded. A magic circle formed in front of Alibaba with an eight sided star in the middle as he started to concentrate his magoi. The magic circle glowed bright with fire at the middle while Alibaba shouted, "Amol Al-Bador Saiqa!".
