Garlox quest

Chapter 64; A Faked Resurrection

''Reports have been all over the city, Tom what have you heard about this new digiland player?'' ''Thanks Candaice. Story has that a new Digiland player has officially been announced. Using the wildest of 3D technology, these digital warriors have beaten a real man into the hospital. Many have gathered these incredibly high def pictures and speculation has flooded the internet. Even crashing the site mere seconds after the incident.'' ''If that wasn't crazy enough, Digiland player Alice fled the scene?! As she was answering questions, head of the Digiland trademark pulled the new player into a van, and said that more information will be revealed soon! I think I speak for everyone when I say that we are dying for every last bit of information. My name is Candaice, and we will be live with you, revealing every small detail, and going over every speculation we come across.'' The tv was turned off by Heinrich. 'You mind stating your business?' Alice found herself in a luxurious black limo. 'I.. I didn't mean to.' Heinrich broke the remote in two, and started to yell at Alice. 'Don't you know in how much trouble you might have gotten us?! You knew that when you wrote about the faulty worlds, things would have gotten out of hand?! We locked him away with a reason. That story should have never left the building. Yet... A stupid girl like you!' Heinrich was ready to strike Alice. But the woman sitting next to him held him back. 'Perhaps you should tell her exactly what's wrong? It doesn't seem like she had any bad intentions.. Not that I can sense.' Alice seemed to be flabbergasted. He glasses were crooked, her glance confused. 'I.. do not know.' The only thing Alice was certain of was the parcel she was holding onto dearly. Heinrich sighed, and sat down. 'I don't think I have to explain digiland to you, do I?' Alice shook her head. 'I watch every episode... Maritte is my favourite. 'Maritte is a darling, you'll love her in real life.' Annabelle held out her hand, and gave Alice her card. 'Please, call me Annabelle. I'm your assistant as of now. Alice took the card from Annabelle, and tried to adjust her glasses. 'I..' Alice started to sob. 'I didn't mean to do anything bad! Honest! I was just.. This man came after me and I..' Alice shivered as she thought back of what had happened just seconds ago. 'Please, dry your tears darling.' Annabelle pulled a handkerchief out of her breast pocket, and lend it to Alice. 'You don't have to explain anything, yet. We will take you back to our base, and we'll decorate and inform you about what's happening, okay? We'll pull you through this!' Heinrich glared at Annabelle, but all she could do was glare back. 'I'm not a bad person now, am I?' Heinrich bit his tongue. 'You're not. You're just causing us a lot of trouble. ' 

After avoiding tons of journalists and paparazzi, the three of them made it safely inside the building. 'Please Alice, follow us. We need to tell you a story first.' Annabelle put her wrist to her mouth, talking to her hidden mic. 'Team Alpha here, target has been secured, will be led to the secret. Everybody in position please.' Annabelle took a headstart and quickly dismantled the alarm. 'Secret open, go go go!' Heinrich grabbed Alice by her wrist, and pulled her along with him. 'If you breath one dying word to anyone, all the universes will be doomned. Please, whatever you're going to see is highly confidential. Understood?' Aliced nodded, and followed Heinrich every step along the way. The three of them stepped inside an Elevator, going almost ten kilometers in depth. As she was shaking on her legs, Alice pulled out the parcel that she had been holding this close. The handdrawn pictures of Ankha, Tony and Lynch became more refined, showing off a more detailed character. Alice couldn't hold on to it for long after, as it was taken from her imediately. The other eight digiland characters had gathered along a big oracle like building. The man who took the parcel put it in a gigantic machine, having it analysed the same second. 'Chief, it is as was thought. Both faulty worlds are within this very story.' 'IMPOSSIBLE!' Heinrich made way, and went to see for himself. 'No, this is even worse.. HOW COULD YOU UNLEASH SUCH DOOM?!' 'Heinrich!' Annabelle shouted. 'Please, inform the girl further before you start yelling at her. She has the right to know.' She gave Heinrich a firm look, tapping her heels impatiently. 'Very well... Please, Alice.. Forget everything you know about Digiland.. Because, none of it is Digi at all.' 'What?! Is Every Digiland competitor a writer like me?' 'Yeah. But unlike you we're the real prophets. You're just copying someone!' 'HOLD IT GARRETH!' One of the twelve Digiland competitors froze, and took a step back. 'Yes, all these people have visions... Write stories like you do. But, they are not mere stories. These stories are really happening. Few are blessed with the abillity to tell about the future of another world. These visions are meant to be written down. if a Digiland competitor does so, the events they write about will give the characters strength. Allowing them to briefly teleport to our world. The bond between Digiland Competitor and world becomes the strongest thing known to this world. Yet, if we do not unleash these powers.. The future as it was written will fail to excist. Causing a major outburst of intergalactic levels we have never seen before. All worlds have met their own personal Digiland Competitor, that is with the exception of one. Well, that is one competitor for two worlds. I assume you and mister Rizoschenicph were rather close? Apart from him being a nut job.' Alice bowed down in shame. 'He was the one writing these stories, not I.' 'I know, Alice.' Heinrich continued. 'Poor mister Rizoschenicph can't help himself. The financial situation? The deaths? It was all a set-up. We needed somewhere to hide this world endangering man. Somehow, he is receiving stories of two worlds. Imagine it like having a radio, trying to receive two signals. Poor man has been so strong for so long, yet he couldn't bare the information anymore. Desperately he tried to tell the stories of these two worlds in order to prevent chaos. If no one was there to listen, or to write about it, it would all be fine. The two worlds would perish and have no impact on our world as they are the faulty planets... Yet.. YOU! You had to listen. All you had to do was keep up the scheme, be a pretty doctor and ignore all of the jibberish this man was spouting out. But you didn't, you got intoxicated with his story! The story of two faulty worlds that were meant to die off. You replaced him, you took his unbearable job... You made the cosmic bomb tick again! A Digiland player that can't receive signals, how are you meant to prevent this universe to die from imploding if you are as useless as a rock?!' 

'The universe? Imploding? All I did was listen...' Alice stared down at her shoes, unable to come up with any answer. 'It's not your fault, we should have informed you earlier.. We didn't think someone would actually take the time to listen to that mad man..' Annabelle put a comforting hand on Alice's shoulder. 'We.. Can prevent the world from imploding, it will be difficult but.. Please bear with me. We know that Mister Rizoschenicph is the receiver, we will bring him here as soon as possible. We just need you to come up with a backstory and character plots.' 'Why?' Alice mumbled. 'Did you feel the ground shake when Thorminator fell down back in 2000? That mighty burst? That was the highest level of cosmic release  we've had in all these years... Don't you think people were going to ask questions if we couldn't hide that earthquake? We use ''Digiland'' as a cover. How do you think people will react when they found out that one wrong letter, one wrong event could destroy the galaxy as we know it? It would bring us unwated chaos. Chaos that would not last for mere days, mere weeks. But for all eternity to brew. We want to prevent such chaos. That's why we release a bit of cosmic power every now and then disguised as digiland battles. No one would suspect a thing from ''digital fighters'' right?'' Annabelle tried her best to explain the situation they were in, but to no succes. 'Sir, we might have some problems...' One of the researchers ran over to Alice and her group. 'The story is only 98% correct, and contains few extra content that should not have been written down. It is manageable but.. Only just. The story is not nearly as complete as we had hoped for.. Miss, we would like to return this.' Alice's sloppy parcel had upscaled to a full blown book, complete with character cards. All the people hat she had written about were at her side from now on. 'These are your heroes. As you explore both worlds, you will gain cards. That is if said hero actually exists in that world. Minor characters could accidentally be turned into weak fighters, causing only a small bit of cosmic power to be released... If you do not release as much cosmic power as you can, the quakes will be heavier and heavier untill..' The researcher stopped talking, and handed the stack of cards to Alice. 'Good luck, to all of us.' 'Now that people have seen you, we cannot hide you anymore... We must tell this story as well, or else people might grow suspicious of the ''Digital battles'' we're having.. Please, don't kill us.' Heinrich added.
