Oohhhhhhh more fluff! Maybe I'll have to add a bit of angst... Nah I'm kidding (I hope). Also major spoilers in this chapter! So if you have not seen all of Hardcore quest I highly recommend you watch the rest before reading! Anyways enjoy the chapter!
Duni decides to take Don and Dick out for some good old adventuring but Duni begins to grow suspicious when Don and Dick begin slipping up with their words...
Don let out a yawn as he slowly opened his eyes. Outside his window, the sky was grey as it always was. He sat up and rubbed his eyes as he stretched. He felt his head to find his hat no longer sat atop it and glanced behind him. His hat was on his pillow. "Must have slipped off..." Don muttered putting it back on. He got up out of bed and found his clothes were quite ruffled up. Don didn't sleep well most nights. His nights were normally interrupted by nightmares or he woke up for no reason at all. Don couldn't remember if either of the two had happened but he definitely felt better then when he had been awake. Don glanced at his ruffled cloths contemplating if he should actually try and look presentable. Don frowned. He wasn't trying to impress anybody, well except maybe Dic-. He cut off the thought shaking his head, his cheeks now slightly flushed. Don sighed as he tried smoothing his clothes down to make them look a bit nicer. Once Don deemed it decent off he walked over to his door and pulled it open. The main room was empty. Don glanced around normally at least a person would be in the main room. Don glanced in everyone's room and sure enough, they were all empty as well. Don crossed his arms. Something was definitely wrong. He walked outside the house to find the village almost dead silent. He walked through the village cautiously, glancing around corners. Yeah, he should have grabbed his bow, Don thought shaking his head. And sure enough, once he made it around the entire village there was still no one around. Don felt a chill go down his spine. Something was very, very wrong. He swallowed thickly and walked towards some of the last places he hadn't checked. Ddawn's lab and the Motherfree project room. Don knew Ddawn wouldn't be happy about him going into his lab but it was his best bet after all the Motherfree project wasn't ready yet. He pushed opened the door to Ddawn's lab and began climbing down the ladder. As he reached the bottom he noticed Ddawn's door into his lab was already open wide. Don swallowed as he stepped slowly into the open lab. The lights were off but he noticed the small lap on Ddawn's desk was still on. He walked over to the desk to see a book on the desk opened up. He picked up the book and read the first couple of words. "Day 23..." Don muttered. He raised an eyebrow. "Didn't think Ddawn was the kind to have a diary." Don chuckled as he started reading. "The group with that annoying blue droid has three runes already. Duni is doing worse than the last couple of times surprisingly. I wonder if he's getting bored already. How disappointing." Don blinked. "What?" He muttered in confusion as he continued reading. "Day 25, Don and Dick were grouped together today to search for the rune I had heard was in the forest. While I have not concluded this rumor to be true I do know that something is indeed in these woods. However, Don and Dick appear to have grown close in the time they were together. This could create... issues..." Don frowned. What did he mean by issues? Don hesitantly read on. "Day 28, it's ready. Duni has fallen for every single bait I've laid. Now it's only a matter of time. I've allowed Duni far too much play time. It's time for it to end." Don whispered the last word. He was shaking. This can't be happening. Ddawn's... a traitor? Don shook his head in disbelief. Only one way to make sure. "The Motherfree project," Don muttered as he set the diary back on Ddawn's desk. He walked back towards the exit and began climbing up the ladder. As he exit he found himself stopping as if something had grabbed him. Don froze and slowly turned around. Nothing was there. He let out a shaky breath. Stop you're being paranoid, Don scolded himself. He turned towards the direction of the Motherfree project. He began walking over his feet making no sound as he walked over to the entrance. He walked down the steps into the room and his breath hitched as he entered. It was activated. "That's... impossible," Don whispered his voice shaking as he took a step closer to it. The portal emitted an eerie glow lighting up the room. Don placed his hand hesitantly on the machine which seemed to pulse under his hand. They have to be inside the portal. There's no other place they could be. Don thought grimly as he let out a shaky breath. "Okay, here we go." Don breathed as he stepped inside the portal.
