Another World? Another Kingdom?

The Search and Reveal

TW: Blood

Joker slowly opened his eyes to see everyone rummaging through the stack of stuff they found in the cars and pile it all together.

"What happened while I was knocked out?" Joker asked beginning to look in the pile.

"I think after you passed out we kind of started looking for things we can bring with us to aid in battle, but we really haven't found much." Erina replied sheepishly.

"Anything important that can get us out of this hell hole?

"No, but.."

Erina began debating if she should reveal about the journal and the car, but decided against it. She decided it was best to hide the journal and car info from the others.

"But what?" Mona asked curiously.

"Nothing. I just got fascinated by all the cars I looked at while you guys were resting."

"Well we found some food, but it's consists of mainly chocolate and random granola bars." Ann stated, eating a chocolate bar.

"Finally food that isn't green or has a mushy texture. I can eat this all day without having to worry about my lack of funds!" Fox exclaimed.

"Inari, I think you're getting excited over something small." Oracle replied deadpan.

"Well if we are done here, maybe we should move to the space below us. From I've seen in the hole, it leads to the hallway that has room 001." Queen said, walking over to the hole.

"Are we sure it's not going to make us fall into a bunch of water? I mean the kraken did come from there." Haru inquired as she looked down the hole as well.

"We don't have anywhere else to go. I didn't find any doors out of here which is weird. We found beds in here, yet this room is parked full of luxury cars." Erina said looking at all the cars again, specifically the pink one.

"Well I'm ready to get out of this place. Are you guys all ready?" Joker asked as he got up.

"You seem back to normal real fast. What's up with that?" Oracle asked as she sat on the bed next to his.

"I know we witnessed Skull's death, but somewhere in my heart, I feel like that's not the case. I think he's just somewhere on the ship. Toshiro and him at the same place together, but... I can't help, but feel sad at the same time..."

"Joker I think you're just having trouble getting over your grief. It's hard to let go, but I think you need to accept it." Queen said with a sad expression.

"Maybe you're right. So I'll fight for him and beat whoever the ruler of this place is."

Everyone cheered for him, gathered their things, went to the hole and stared down at it.

"You guys ready?" Erina asked.

They all nodded and jumped down the hole together. When they landed it was the hallway of the first floor. The rooms had gold chandeliers, walls, floors, and even the candles were made out of gold. They could see clearly where they were going which made the thieves suspicious of the floor.

"This is odd. How come all the other floors above us are dark, while this area has all their lights on? Oracle can you get a reading?" Fox asked, looking at the interior doing his Artist portrait fingers with the room.

"Inari this not the time to do things for the sake of art. I did however find an enemy signal a little ways down. It's behind gulp room 001." She replied, shaking.

"Is it possibly Stacy or the Kraken? Those two couldn't have recovered that fast after the injuries we inflicted could they?" Haru asked nervously.

"Only one way to find out. Let's head in that direction." Queen commanded as she began walking towards the room.
