Fantasy Kingdom Online (FF/KH/Others)

Chapter 12

Alright since door 2 got the most votes that one will not be the true path so thank God I really was hoping everyone would pick that one cause I really didn’t want Duke to die but I felt like someone had to die just to show how freaking strong that fallen angel was supposed to be with the pure NPC’s powering him.

“Aw man that quest sucked.” 
“Are you sure that you aren’t just saying that because you are covered in slime?” Jet jokingly replied.
“We’re all covered in slime.” You gestured to all of them.
“Yeah,  but you more so than us” Duke pointed out as Jet laughed.
“That is the last time I take a hit for you!”  You walked in the direction of the girls bathing room, since it didn’t look like the slime was going to fade away. Smallerbee was also coming along for obvious reasons.
After an hour of washing,  you finally got all the slime off of places you didn’t even know it had got to. Smallerbee was finished in less time, due to not having as much on her.
Once you got yourself some clean armor, you went to your room, not really knowing what else to do at the moment. Laying down on your bed, you thought of a few things you really needed right about now, one of the things being your favorite music to listen to, and the second being watching ( your favorite/TV show/Anime/Movie). But this damn game doesn’t have any of those, which only made what you were going to do the moment you get out of this game all the more clearer.
‘Maybe I should go for a walk’ Just as you were about to get up and do just that, you received a message from Zack.
(From 《YourFavouritePupZack》
Hey I finally have some time off from quest if you want to go on that date)
After reading it, you thought about what you wanted to do. Go on that date or take a walk?
Go on the date:
You figured why not? He’s fun to be around. And even though before you were more focused on getting out rather than having fun, after spending time with the Freedom Fighters, I guess they showed you that you can do both. Although, don’t get me wrong. They are just as serious on getting out too, it's just that they some how make it a little fun also. After battling that stupid slime creature, you could use some fun right about now. So, messaging Zack back, you told him that you will meet up with him.
He messaged back with where to meet up at. Checking the map, you thanked the heavens it was somewhere you could use the teleporter on.
Getting off of your bed, you walked out of your room passing a still dirty Pipsqueak. You thought about asking him why didn’t he wash up yet, but crossed the thought out of your mind and just continued on towards the teleporter.
Selecting the spot on the map, the blue lights started surrounding you. At that time, Jet walked by but stopped.
“Where are you goi- ” Before he could finish his sentence, the teleporter had already taken you to the location. Zack was already there and standing by the platform.
“Finally, this one’s you.” He offered his hand to help you off the platform.
“You won’t believe how many other players came off of that thing, that I thought were you” You accepted his hand.
“How many?” You asked.
“I’m pretty sure about twelve. There was three sliver haired guys, an annoyed looking boy being dragged off by a blonde girl, and the rest were just a big group of players, so not really sure on what they all looked like but a few stood out.” He shook his head.
“Anyway, enough about that. Let’s get on with the date; you won’t believe how hard it was to find a perfect place”  Zack opened the panel and sent you an invite before stepping on the platform.
“Wait, aren’t we having the date here?”  You asked, to which he shook his head as he replied back with a 'nope', making a popping sound on the 'p'.
“The place I’m taking you to is special.”  He selected a spot on the map you haven't seen before, since the two weeks floor two has been unlocked.
“Special? How?” You raised a brow. 
“You’ll see.” It looked like that was the only reply he was going to give you, so you didn’t see a point in trying to get more from him. But thankfully you wouldn’t have to wait long before you were teleported to said special place.
*Hidden Area 1 of 50 found*
“There are hidden areas?” You looked up at the thing above you.
“Yes but this isn’t the part I wanted to show you. Come on.” He grabbed a hold of your hand, leading you to what he wanted to show you.
As he was leading, you noticed how happy his face looked which you kinda liked. Seeing him that way made you wonder how often he did get this happy in this hell hole, when you pretty much fight for your lives all the damn time.
 
When you got there it was simply breath taking. The place was beautiful, with different types of flowers everywhere and different types of plant there as well.
Some were differently made, but still gorgeous nonetheless. “Now, I’m not sure if any of the fruits are edible, besides maybe the normal looking ones we see back in the real world, but even then, you never know with this whack job, so I brought us food that I know is safe to eat instead.” Zack opened his inventory and pulled out a basket.
“A basket, really? Why store food in that when you can just keep it in the inventory?” Which is where he had the basket in the first place.
“I thought that it gave a more date feel.” Zack shrugged as he went to set it up.
You went over to help set up the food. Once everything was set up, you were definitely sure that he didn’t make any of the food. Not that he said he did, but if he had, it would of been obvious he didn't.
“How did you come across this place?” You finally asked, as you took a few bites from your sandwich.
“Uh…. I guess you could say a little help from a fallen angel.” You wondered what he meant by that, but when you tried getting him to say more, he asked if you wanted some cake. Knowing that you weren’t  going to get anymore  than what he said, you took the slice of cake.
“Wanna look around the place?” He asked, after the two of you finished the meal.
“Sure.” The two of you got up, and again Zack showed you a few spots. As it was getting late you, were about to leave when Zack stopped you.
“Wait you’ve got to see this.” He grabbed your hand and brought you over to some rather dull looking flowers.
“What is up with these?” You raised a brow. 
“Just wait.” Zack looked really excited. The darker the sky got, the more the flowers opened, till finally, they opened all the way. Let me just say, they didn’t look dull anymore. They looked similar to the night sky with tiny shining stars.
“Wow!”
“I know right? Sadly though, you can’t grab any. You would need very high gardening skills.” You weren’t really planning on grabbing any in the first place.
“That’s fine by me not rea-” You stopped once you heard a click sound, causing you to turn and look at the source, only to see that Zack had his panel open. You could see that there was a picture of you looking at the flowers.
“I forgot that the camera feature still works.” 
“Too bad the posting it feature doesn’t, what a shame ” He playfully shook his head.
“More like, thank God it doesn’t.” You crossed your arms, a little annoyed that he took your picture.
“Aw don’t be like that. Look, I made sure to take such a lovely pic; see?” He showed you the pic, which made you raise an eyebrow.
“Why are there flowers on my head?” 
“I thought they looked nice on you.” You shook your head with a sigh and became even more grateful that he couldn’t post it.
“Anyway, ready to go? ” You nodded your head.
“Then right this way.” He lead you out of the place, and the moment the two of you stepped foot from it, your notifications went off like crazy.
Scrolling through them, you saw that some were about the guild, and how a few places are being remodeled at the moment. Some were from Jet and the others asking 'where did you go?' And telling you to be careful. One was about an upcoming Halloween event.
 “Oh yeah, also, for some reason while in the garden, you won’t get notifications till after you leave it.” You turned to look at Zack with a slightly annoyed look.
“And you are just now telling me this?” He sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck.
“Kind of slipped my mind.” You a sighed.
“Doesn’t matter now, let’s just go to the teleporter.” The Teleporter was pretty far from the hidden garden, so the two of you had a lot of walking to do before you finally reached it.
“I’ll let you go first okay?” Zack said as he un-added you from group.
“Okay.”  You stepped onto the platform and selected the guild house mark. 
“Cya again soon.” Zack waved as you were teleported back to guild.
Once back, they bombed you with questions as to why you didn’t reply and where you were. You answered each of their questions, telling them you were out with Zack having lunch and you lost track of time, and the reason why you didn’t reply was because the notifications were off.
 
When you told them this, Sneers and Duke went 'oooo' and started making jokes, which reminded you of your brothers and how some times those two reminded you of them.
“I better go check on a few things.” Jet left.
“And I better go to my room. My avatar is feeling very tired.” You walked off to your room, and you could still hear Sneers joking around about the whole getting lunch with Zack. One member, your not sure who, said something that caused Duke to ask 'what does that mean?'. Since you were too tired to go back, you decided that you would hunt down the player that said that later.
You didn’t bother taking off your armor as you fell onto the bed, instantly falling to sleep.
Turning down the date:
Zack’s a nice guy, but you really didn’t want to go on that date. You messaged him back telling him no thanks.
He messaged you back with a simple 'okay'.  You got off of the bed and left your room closing the door behind you. Turning around, you saw that Pipsqueak was still covered in slime. Wondering why, you went over to ask why he hadn’t cleaned up yet.
“Jet needed some crates moved.” 
“I’m sure he would have wanted you to be cleaned up first, and not covering it in slime too.” You pointed at the now slightly covered in slime crate.
“That’s true, but there is a limit to how long these crates can be out, and I didn't think I would finish cleaning up in time.” Pipsqueak was the second member that was really covered in slime, you being the first and covered the most,thanks to jumping in the way for Jet.
“Yeah that stuff is hard to get off.I better leave you to it then."You both went your separate ways, you heading towards the doors, only to stop when Jet called out to you.
“Yeah?” Jet walked over to you.
“I saw a few spots in the base that could use some fixing up. Wanna go with me to town and pick up some things?” Since all you were going to do was go for a walk, you didn’t see why you couldn't go to town with Jet.
“Sure.” You two walked over to the teleporter, since it would get you there faster than walking. Not to mention, it was much safer too.
Jet selected the nearby town. Once that was done, the teleporter started surrounding you two with the usual blue light before taking you to the town.
“Let’s start looking for those shops with the parts we need.” Jet and you walked over to a few shops passing by a few players here and there. Some of their usernames would catch your eye, like 《NightGod17》《CrescentMoon》《TheBlindBandit》 and 《AoOni15》 who was standing next to a player named 《ManOfSnow》. The two looked to be twins, though one had two moles on his face.
You and Jet went inside one of the shops, looking around for the stuff he needed. You found about three of the ten things on the list, so Jet brought as much as he needed of the parts before moving on to the next shop.
After three more shops, you two got everything you needed. You decided to head back, only to stop when the notifications went off.
“A Halloween event is coming up soon.” Jet said, as he read the notification with an un-happy look.
“I’m not sure how I feel about that.” You stated your thoughts.
“You and me both; there’s no telling what kind of stuff he might have planned.” 
“Let’s go.” You guys went back to the platform and teleported back to base.
“Alright, now I just have to hand these over to the NPC’s, and they will get to work.” Jet went to the NPC’s, while you went over to the kitchen to get something to eat.
Sneers was already there, toying with something blue and kinda small, which you felt like you’d seen before.
“Where did you get that?” You pointed at the small item in his hand.
“I found it when we were leaving the woods.” When you thought back, you did remember him picking up something, however  you didn’t know what.
“Huh.” You went over to the fridge, grabbing some food and warming it up. After a while, Sneers left and you finished up then headed off to bed.
When you laid down, you opened your panel and took off your armor, replacing it with sleepwear before drifting off to sleep.

Another choice I know I know so soon but I felt like now was the time to do the whole date thing then I felt like adding another option but don’t worry not all dates are going to be voted on just ones that effect the plot in certain ways. 
Also if you can guess who the two twins (AoOni and ManOfSnow) are before the next chapter is out are they will be added into the story along with the rest of the characters from their anime.
