As I set out to find Ivor, I felt people brush past me, shouting.

"There he is! Gabriel!" a man exclaimed. And there he was, walking beside an usher. Gabriel was a muscular man with dark skin and wore gray and blue armor, his eyes were a dark brown. The usher looked to be about the same size as Axel but had blonde hair. I then noticed Lukas, I walked up to him.

"Sup"

"Sup"

"Nothing, sup with you?"

"Nothing, sup with you?"

"I just said... nothing"

"Congrats on the win" Lukas smiled.

"Yours was way cooler" I told Lukas.

"No, you don't have to say that, you won fair and square" Lukas told me.

"Have you seen a creepy guy with a beard walking around?" I questioned.

"No, why?" Lukas asked.

"He scammed Petra out of a diamond earlier" I told him.

"Woah, everyone knows you don't mess with Petra" he said "I'll keep an eye out."

"Thanks Lukas" I said and smiled.

"So we're cool?" he asked me.

"Yeah, we're cool" I told him.

"Cool" He replied.

"Coolio"

"Coolness"

"Hah! See ya later, Lukas!" I waved bye and continued searching for Ivor and I saw Axel laughing at a machine that was torturing chickens.

"Thought you could just wiggle right out of that trap didn't you?" Axel laughed. "Well, wiggle as much as you want you're not going anywhere!"

"Hey, Axel listen up, any chance you've seen a beardy guy around?" I asked him.

"No, Petra told me what happened but I'm keeping an eye out for him" I raised my eyebrow. "Alright, I got a little distracted, this machine is unnecessarily complicated and mean to birds for no reason."

"We can't find him alone, if we don't find this guy soon we might never find him"

"Alright, alright, i'll look!" Axel exclaimed "just let me watch one more chicken get owned." I rolled my eyes and then, there he was.

"I've found you now, weirdo" I began to follow the guy and then Aiden stopped me.

"Well if it isn't Team Trash Bag! Hows your stupid pig? I heard intense heat causes brain damage!" I was tired of Aiden's relentless bulling.

"I don't know when, I don't know how, but someday when you're least expecting it, we will get our revenge."

"Jeeze! I was only joking!" Aiden stood back and I pushed him aside. I then approached the guy
"What do you think your-" the guy turned around, it wasn't even a guy at all. "Oh I'm so sorry!"

"What do you think your doing? Get away from me!" the woman exclaimed.

"I said I was sorry" I then walked away, Reuben was gone.

"Reuben? Where are you?" I called out.

"Get your pork chops here! Fresh off the bone!" a butcher pulled up a pig and prepared to kill it with an axe, it was Reuben! "Nothing sticks to your ribs quite like a juicy pork chop!"

"Reuben!" I cried out and the butcher lowered his axe.

"Whats the big idea? I'm trying to run a business here!" the man exclaimed.

"Thats my pig! You kidnapped my pig!" I shouted.

"I don't know what your talking about, I found him wandering out on the streets!"

"Give him to me! Now!" I exclaimed.

"You wouldn't be threatening me would you?"

"What if I am?"

"I'm not interested in arguing with you, I might be amendable to some kind of trade." I grabbed the sword Petra gave to me and he stared at it in awe. He pushed Reuben off the table and I handed him my sword.

"Nice doing business with you" he said.

"Come on, Reuben" Reuben glared at me. "I'm sorry buddy, I was so busy trying to find Ivor I didn't notice." Reuben continued to be angry at me. We turned a corner and I saw Olivia. I walked up to her and tapped her shoulder, she turned around.

"Remember that thing I had to do with Petra?" Olivia nodded "long story short, we met up with this guy and he scammed Petra out of a diamond, we're trying to track him down, you in?" I asked her.

"Oh i'm in alright" Olivia smiled.

"Any sign of him?" it was Petra, Axel followed closely behind her.

"I thought I did but It was just a false alarm" I told her then I saw him, walking up the stairs to the big building that Gabriel was in. "There he is!"

"We'll have to get past that usher to follow him" Petra said and we all walked up to the usher.

"So, yeah, hey" I began.

"What would it take to get us inside tonight?" Petra asked.

"Uh, Tickets" the usher laughed.

"We're on a very important mission" I told him.

"Well I hope your mission came with tickets, because otherwise, your not getting in" a chicken walked past. "Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Ok your fine, your a totally cool dude..." we walked away.

"Alright any ideas?"
