"Remember when I said I had a bad feeling about this place? Now I'm really having a bad feeling about this place." Bierce spoke after the elevator door closed and descended down. The ride was surprisingly short, the door opens to show Security Control Center on the wall with an arrow pointing right. There was a door to the left, but it was locked, Rebekah found that out when she tried it.
She checked her tablet as she walked. "170 shards? That's all? This'll be a piece of cake, if it's just the pig to deal with." Rebekah walked down and making a left, seeing two other doors but they were locked as well. But the door straight ahead she went right on through. It was the control room, and there in the center of the platform was the Ring Alter.
"There's the alter! I wondered where it was here." Rebekah goes in further in the room, seeing two huge screens, one with the Joy Joy Land logo with the main three mascots, switching back and forth from normal to menacing, and the other had big red words, then an automated voice spoke. "Systems offline. Zone 3 Access Restricted. Please restore power in Zone 2."
"Some kind of control room? Everything is offline though." Bierce said.
"And it's my job to turn it ONline." Rebekah stated and headed through the Zone 2 door. There was another door ahead, with a window to the right, and another arrow pointing ahead reading Research + Development above it. She goes for the door but stopped seeing the light in the window turn on and there stood the pig.
"Hi! I'm Hangry. I'm a pig." The pig spoke through the glass.
"That's obvious." Rebekah crossed her arms.
"Oh, ribs are my joy. I haven't had a meal in forever. Come closer." Hangry motioned his hand to her.
Rebekah didn't move a millimeter, she just stared at him.
Hangry just looked at her like he was waiting, but seemed his patience ran out.
"Good enough." He leaned forward with his hands on his hips. "Is that... OH! Are those ribs?!"
"Every human has them porkchop, you just figuring that out after hundreds of mortals coming here to your rip-off Disneyland?" Rebekah rolled her eyes then jumped when she heard the pig slam a fist on the glass, which left a crack.
"Don't get smart with me! You'll become just like the rest... with some barbeque sauce! Hope ya don't mind, it's my own recipe." He snorted with a laugh before he was gone, the light having turned off.
"What a weirdo." Rebekah huffed before continuing on through the door.
"Great, now there's a pig too. Well at least you have to deal with this one, I had to deal with them my entire life." Bierce spoke while Rebekah was picking her two powers, it made her pause what she was doing.
"For once I agree." Rebekah could hear Bierce snickering. After picking the powers she needed, she stepped into what looked like a lounge area? It had some cushions and framed pictures on the walls, and there were two doors, she could go left or right. So, she went left, she used her Telekinesis for those shards that were nearby.
Once through the door, there stood Lucky in the middle of the walkway, making her halt in her tracks.
"Hangry's not himself when he's hungry. Kinda loses control around fresh meaty ribs, know what I mean? Goes a little crazy, but aren't we all a little crazy?" The rabbit put his hands together."Yeah, you especially." Reb remarked.
"HA! And don't you forget it either! After all, it's a mad mad world!" He cackled like as if he was a mad scientist before running off through the way she had to go.
"Nope." She turned right back around to go the other way.
"That pig looks pretty powerful, it's probably a good idea not to get it too close to you." Bierce warned the mortal.
