We made it outside, but due to Endrosi's terrible I felt like vomiting.

"Jesus christ on a stick!" I let out as I fall to my knees.

Endrosi turned to me pissed.

"Why are you here?!" She asked pretty angry.

"I heard there was gonna be a neat reward so I came here and found out about FUGs whole plan, so I went to help Bam." I put my hands up in defence.

Suddenly a large bee/person carrying a load of people burst open from the ground.

"Ms. Yiwha! Mr. Shibisu!" Bam cheered "You made it out safely!"

The two people he was referring to responded differently.

"Bam!" Shibisu greeted.

"Mr. Viole!!" The woman known as Yihwa yelled.

"Good everyone got out successfully!" A rabbit girl spoke, her ears painstakingly reminded me of Headon.

"And we got all the hostages-" Shibisu said before pointing at me "When did you get here?!"

"I've been here since the start but I was too late to participate." I explained "FUG made a roadblock on the 29th Floor so I wouldn't be able to get here."

"Yo kids! Don't slack off!!!" Suddenly a floating ship appeared next to us "We have to get out of here right now!"

"The floating ship!" Shibisu exclaimed

"Is that Quant?" I asked myself recognising the voice from the Floor of Tests.

"It's only a matter of time before the Rankers discover us!! Before they come we have to get away!" The first time I had heard Quant being serious if I'm being honest.

"I'll transport all your comrades in the waiting room!"

I felt a strong presence beginning to approach.

"Thats as far as you go." I turned to see a Ranker in weird armour "Take one more step and I'll slash all of you, so Viole give up the Needle."

I withdrew Evolution from its sheath in an instant and noticed something different about it, it had black shadows emitting from the cracks in the blade.

"Did it evolve after Reflejo died?" I whispered so no one could here me.

"Do you intend on fighting me?" The Ranker asked.

"If it means the others can get out of here, then yes." I replied getting into a stance.

"Don't be ridiculous, I'll cut them all down before you can even move." The Ranker spoke.

"Damn it... this is why... I didn't want to do this!" Quant burst from out of the ship and got in-between me and The Ranker.

But before either of them could do anything a voice boomed throughout the area.

"STOP!" The Rankee stopped and looked blankly into space "This is the Captains Order! Stop All your actions and listen to me! Give up on the Needle immediately and return to the base! If you do anything foolish... this man could destroy our entire trade business. Return." The Ranker began walking off and the voice was correct, I could feel a monstrous presence coming from the Archimedes. Someone so powerful they surpassed the strongest person I had met, Yuri. But I'd say the Administrator I met on the Second Floor and Headon would both win in a fight against this presence. But its still incredibly dangerous.

We boarded the ship and flew up to where Ro was fighting the Ranker I had rammed my ship into before I fought Reflejo.

I could still see my ship crashed below and a small tear escaped my eye.

"Why are you crying?" Endorsi asked.

"I payed good money for that ship..." I pointed to my ship below.

"What happened to it?" She questioned.

"I attacked the Ranker with it..." I sighed "It was in order to delay the melting solution.

Endorsi just had a small look of disappointment on her face.

"Don't look at me like that!" I pointed at her a tick mark appearing on my head.

"Ro!! Get on!" Quant yelled as we arrived above Lero Ro.

The presence in the Archimedes still made me feel incredibly uncomfortable.

"What is it Gisawa you seem worried?" Lero Ro asked as he entered the ship.

"Theres is someone on the Archimedes, their sheer presence is frightening, I could feel it from a floor down..." Something clicked "This... this is a family leader." Everyone seemed shocked.

All the screens around the workshop came up with a screen.

"The Winner of the Workshop Battle: Team Sweet&Sour."

A large group of people were teleported onto the ship and everyone was reunited, I just sat in a chair at the back.

Bam, Rak and Khun all had a nice long rest and I made sure to depart from the rest of the group due to me not feeling as welcome.

Before I left Hwaryun asked to meet me.

"Why did you want to meet me?" I asked as I arrived in her room.

"Well first I wanted to thank you for saving me and secondly I need you to get to the Hell Train." Hwaryun stated.

"And why do I need to go there." I asked her.

"It is apart of your path, a path meant for a King, the next stop for you is the Hell Train."

With that she left leaving me alone in her room.

'What does she mean a path for a king?'

With that one thought in my mind I left waving bye to Ro as I exited the Ship and onto the 31st Floor.

Thats the end of the very short Chapter 9. 911Wordslol
