3Below (Tales of Arcadia)

Chapter 9

Vex: how is that a problem?⚠️ Simply defy the tyrant's orders

Krel: it's not as simple as you think 🤔 all youth must attend this school 🎓 and if we don't we'll remain prisoners on this ship 🚀

Aja: it's full of humans our age and they play games 🎯 and have challenges that are easy[laughs]

Krel: either way, we won't be able to return unless we have parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 to show 📺

Vex: then we're doomed, there is no chance of transforming the pair of you into"pay-rents"

Aja: my mind is blank

................................................................

Krel: wait blank? Maybe blanks!*runs*

Vex: where's he going?

Aja: of course. The blank robots!*runs*

Krel: mother initiates camouflage protocol. You'll be Dad and you'll be Mom*pushing the two robots' in*mother, load their data caches with your research of human culture

Mothership: before we do, you should know. My information on this planet is about 60 human years outdated

Krel: no matter, like you, said this dump head planet doesn't evolve that fast

At the school.....

...........................................

Senor: Ah. Are your parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 here?

Krel: yes, both of them[chuckles]no excuses

Dad: hey, hey nice to meet you*walks in fast*

Senor: Senor Uhl

Dad: blank

Senor: what?

Mom: we're French

Senor: your kids said you were from cantaloupe-something

Aja: cantaloupia. It's French*walks in*

Dad:*still shaking his hand*

Senor: um...*tried to shake it off*

Dad: easy there fella*let's go*

Mom: never get a chance to make a first impression, right?[laughs]

A few minutes later, the two blank robots drive Senor Uhl crazy until he had enough." that's enough I'm calling child protective clearly your home is unstable" he was about to call child protective until Aja and Krel couldn't hold back any longer and started to shed tears.

Aja: we don't have a home!*crys*

Krel: our home was been stolen from us by General Morando, our friends father who betrayed us for no reason! He destroyed the capital and hurt 🤕 our parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 and his own daughter and we were forced to come here leaving her behind, knowing no one!*crys*

..............................................................

Aja: we are alone here.....*hugs Krel*

Krel: we miss our home*hugs Aja back*

Senor: wait, wait. There's been a coup in your country?

Aja:*nods*

Senor:[gasps]I'm so sorry*hugs Aja and Krel*I'll protect you both until cantalou-

Krel: cantaloupia

Senor: is free again. For as long as your home is here, you'll always have a place in Arcadia Oaks.*hugs*

Krel: thank you

Suddenly Aja's eyes started to turn back, she gasps and told Senor they should go now...as they push their fake parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 out the door.🚪

Senor: they are peculiar*closing the door*

Aja: what's happening?*runs while pushing Mom and Dad*

Krel: the energy 🔋 dispersal from the transaction must be wearing off.*runs*

Eli:[gasps]*runs*

.................................................

Vex: you could have been discovered! The humans must never see us in our true forms

Krel: how was we supposed to know it would wear off?

Mothership: my apologise. It seems the effect only lasts 12 horvaths

Krel:*sigh*now you tell us?*looks at Aja*are you okay?

Aja: I....I don't know. I'm afraid we'll never going to find Daxial Array and Mama and Papa and.....Lily.....*sigh*

.........................................

Krel walks to Aja holding something in his hand. Aja looked at it"you save that?"

Krel: you saved their cores. I save this. You know the ritual?

Vex: Varvatos does

Aja: I don't want to be Queen

Krel: and you won't. You'll be Queen-in-waiting. Remember I'll take your place on the throne and you'll be a great warriors

...........................................................

Aja:*nods*

Vex: this Ridge is the mark of your ancestors, and proclaim you worthy of the Crown of Akiridion that had stood for righteousness since ages past

..........................................

Vex: your parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 will be proud of you no matter what path you take.....and Lily will be proud of you both

Aja:*touches Lily's necklaces and smile*

Krel:*smile and hugs Aja*

At Akiridion-5.....

Morando: the royal traitors are at large. Bounty Hunter slay the royals and being their parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 life cores to me and you'll be rewarded with treasures that will make you the envy of all Hunters

[Roars]

Morando: destroy any and all who stands in your way.....[evil laughs]
