Chapter 20

The Mansion of Masters Part 2

Ray ran down the hallway leaving the other 4 alone. "He's energetic." Sarah commented as she saw the dust he kicked up. "He is kind of hopped up on chocolate." Ralph added as they followed his trail. As they reached a corner, the lights cut off and Sarah almost tripped on her shoelace, so she stopped to tie it but was stopped by a hand on her shoulder. "Felix, I'll be done in a... WHAT THE?!" she screamed as the mysterious figure grabbed her unconscious nosebleeding body. "Sarah?" Felix inquired as he turned around and was met with the same figure. "MY LAND!" Felix squealed as he was also taken by the figure in the same situation as his girlfriend. "Felix?" Ralph inquired as he was alone in the dark hallway. "Where'd everyone go?" Ralph asked himself as the figure descended on him.

Big came to 5 minutes after everyone left and caught up to Ray. "Big. Good to see you up. Now where's everyone else?" Ray queried as he looked behind the cat. "I thought they were with you?" "Nope. I ran ahead of them, but my sugar rush wore off." "Ok... No more sugar for you." Big scolded as they reached the closet door. They opened it to find nothing but Justin's gauntlet. "What the? Where is he?!" Ray barked as he picked up the item in question. The screen flickered on and Justin face graced the screen. "Sempai... Help... 7th floor... Robots... Boss is..." he uttered before the transmission cut off. "Looks like we're heading to the 7th floor." Ray spoke as he ran down the hall with Big on his heels.

As they hit the corner, a group of training robots from Tekken appeared and ran at them. "Looks like I've got a fight on my hands." "You mean 'WE'" Big corrected as he pulled out his fishing pole. "I don't think a fishing pole's gonna put a dent in these guys." Ray commented as Big pressed a button and the line on the fishing pole became a laser. "Damn... When'd Justin do that?" Ray inquired as he stared at the piece of tech. "We had a weird first date, let's leave it at that." Big replied as he cut the head off a robot and stabbed another through the chest. Ray threw a lightning ball at a group of robots and slashed through the rest with a sword of pure thunder. "Let's keep going." Ray instgructed as they made their way up the stairs to the 6th floor.

"The stairs to the 7th floor are gone?!" Ray barked as they stared at the chunk of wood that was once the 7th floor stairway. "We could always float up." Big suggested as he pulled a tab on his belt and lifted himself in to the air. "Right." Ray responded as he levitated up to the 7th floor. "We're almost to the doorway." Ray commented as they walked down the deserted hallway.

"I really hope Justin's okay." Big spoke after 2 minutes of silence. "You really like him don't you?" Ray inquired as they turned a corner. "Yeah... I've liked him for a while now. Whenever he got back from a mission or training, he'd always come and talk to me. When he first started out, he got lost in my game so I showed him out. We've been best friends ever since. I really hope this lasts a long time." "He does too." Ray said in a serious tone. "But I've got the feeling he's being more cautious around me for some reason. I think he's doubting my commitment." "He's doubting his own commitment. But I told him to remember that you chose him out of all the people you could've chose. He should be fine now." Ray explained as they reached a door with purple fog flowing under it.

"Looks like the place. Ready?" Ray queried as he took a stance. "Now more than ever." Big responded as he pressed another button and turned the pole into a rifle. "Let's go! Codemaster! I'm gonna wreck it!" He barked as he crashed into the room as his armor appeared. "RAY!" the group shouted from a cage as they dangled over a pot of boiling water. "I'll save you! Ray barked as he stared down the enemy. He looked like one of the side enemies from Persona 4's Shadow Kanji fight, but he had a weird mask on his face. "Welcome to my lair. Stay a while... We can have some fun..." he cooed as the room got fuzzy. "Mask of Illusions! Create Ray's ultimate fantasy!" the villain barked as the world went back to normal. "What?! Why didn't it work?" the figure inquired as Ray brushed dirt off his shoulders. "I lived out my fantasy before I got here. Your powers won't work on me." Ray explained as he pulled out his thunderblade. "Big! Headshot!" Ray shouted as Big targeted the mask and shot it off.

"Wha?! NO! Now I'm just a general again!" the muscular baddie gushed as he posed in front of Ray and Big. "You're not even Elite?" Ray inquired as he walked up to him. "N... No... I was given the mask and made a temporary elite member while the others are on a quest." "Quest? What quest?" "If you spare me, I'll tell you." the baddie bargained as he released the other 5. "Now talk." Ray demanded as he dismissed his thunderblade. "The league needed to gain power, so they're chasing 6 mystic artifacts lost in The Great Code War that should give them extraordinary power. It could spell the end of all of the arcades that way." the villain explained. "Where are the artifacts?" Justin queried as he walked over to the conversation. "They're scattered through the 6 lost games of the world. The Codemasters of Old thought it'd be safer this way."

"Thanks for the tip. I never got your name." Ray thanked as he stared at the beefy villain. "I'm Nice Guy. I only joined the league because I was forced by one of the Elite. I really hate fighting. I'm more of a support character." "Well we'll need someone with knowledge of the League. Think you can help us out?" Sarah inquired as she stood behind Ray. "Sure. It's the least I can do!" Nice Guy replied as he held out his hand to Ray. "Welcome to the team then." Ray greeted as he shook his hand. "Now I think we should get back to the sleepover." Felix suggested as they all walked downstairs to the kitchen to get more food and soda.

That night, Ray was sharing a sleeping bag with Ralph since Nice Guy needed one. He was sleeping soundly until a dark figure crept over him. "Since Nice Guy failed, I'll have to take matters into my own hands." Maleficent thought to herself as she teleported Ray into one of the 6 lost games. "No matter how good he is, he'll never escape The Wild West game." she cackled as she disappeared into the darkness of the night.

Good Chapter if I do say so myself.
