Get Your Game On!

Chapter 14 (Floor 37)

(A/N: By a popular demand, before Floor 37; I'll make you guys see a glimpse of the world outside Dungeon Quest (aka the real world), I mean, what happened after Eli and Lucas got in the game.)

-----------------------------------------------------------
Around 4pm the day that Elianna and Lucas got sucked in... her mother arrived home from work. With the two consoles on the floor and her daughter not here, she thought Elianna and Lucas we're at Lucas' house and left their consoles here. So Mrs. Chua went to the Alonzo household.

*knock knock* She knocked at the door. The door opened, and Mrs. Alonzo answered it.

"Mrs. Alonzo? Is Elianna here?"

"I was about to ask you about Lucas' whereabouts are, and no; your daughter is not here."

"Your son is not at our house, either. But he did leave his PsP here." She handed Lucas' PsP to Lucas' mom.

"It's on?" Mrs. Alonzo looked closer. "Wait, is that Lucas?"

"Wait a second." Mrs. Chua took a look at Elianna's console. "Hey, you're right! I see Elianna in there too. Who's the other 4 people??"

"We have to tell the police."

At the police station......

"Officer, our children went missing; but we see them in their consoles. What happened?" Mrs. Chua asked in a concerned tone.

"Ma'am, they have been victimized by the game known as Dungeon Quest. The only way out is to clear the game. But don't fret, they are not the only victims. Most likely, them and the other victims have met. Oh, your consoles are low in battery. I recommend you to charge it, because something bad might happen if the battery dies."

"I see. Thanks, officer. I hope they're safe...

Floor 37

In this floor... they're in China! Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! Everyone's wearing Chinese clothing, by the way! Oh. There's no floor boss here. The challenge is to amuse the people of China with a good show in the festival! (Bear with me, Chinese people, I don't know how you guys celebrate your New Year ;-;)

"We're in China, meep!"

"Are we going to countries now? First we went to the London Bridge, then Japan, and now China?" Rosary said. "Where's a good place to hold fireworks?"

"In an elevated place or an open field or something; just not too close to the festival itself, meep. Also, we shouldn't rely on fireworks alone, meep. We need other stuff, meep. Elianna, still got that troll staff, meep?" says Kenji.

"Yep, it's in the inventory."

"Good, meep."

Suddenly, cheers and distant fireworks were heard.

"The festival is starting! We have to hurry! Wait, let's go over there!" Lucas pointed to an empty field.

Elianna grabbed the troll staff and casted, "Hellfire!" Fireworks were coming out, and people began gathering to watch it.

"We need other things to display, meep."

"Hmmm... how about a flying paper dragon?"  Enzo suggested.

"Hey! That's actually a good idea, meep! Where'll we get materials, though, meep?"

"Easy, we buy some! I will be back! Portal Slash!" Enzo sliced his scythe and entered the portal he created.

However... the people were losing interest; as the number of people watching them decreased.

"Eli, try using something else." Lucas said. "Except confetti. That'll be our trump card with the paper dragon."

"Alright... Powder Snow!" Instead of snow, silver sparkles came falling down. Then she casted some more fireworks afterwards. "Enzo, hurry!"

(A/N: Credits to my brother who came up with the name Powder Snow!)

People were coming back, but there were more people than last time.

Enzo finally came back, carrying a paper dragon in his hands. "I'm back, turns out there was someone selling paper dragons, so I bought one. Oh, I also bought floating lanterns. Here's a lighter to light the lanterns." Enzo tossed the lighter to Lucas.

Lucas then lit the lanterns and let them float into the air. There were even more people now!

"Now for the finishing move." Elianna said as she casted the spell which resulted into confetti and used telekinesis to control the now floating paper dragon.

Cheers and smiling faces were heard and seen from the crowd. A portal then opened, but for some reason; a chest came out of the portal.

"Huh? What's this?" Elianna opened the chest and saw a jar of cookies, a letter, and a scroll.

"Snacks, meep!" Kenji said as he ate one. Right now he looks like a little kid who's enjoying his candy.

(A/N: Someone protect him 'cuz KENJI IS A CUTE CINNAMON ROLL. I'm fangirling over my own character, I'm weird xD)

"H-Hey! Leave some for the rest of us!" Enzo said.

"Catch me first, meep~!" Kenji ran off.

"Come back here!" Enzo chased after him.

While Enzo was chasing Kenji; Camille decided to check out the scroll.

"Hey guys, we got a scroll of resurrection here. It's obviously only a one-time use, so PLEASE be careful with your lives."

"That's actually very useful!" Lucas said as he put the scroll in the inventory. "Now, what does the letter say?"

"Oh, I'll read it out loud!" Camille said. "It says...

Dear humans,

For a job well done, I've given you a jar of cookies and a scroll of resurrection. Please do not eat the cookies randomly because they restore a bit of HP and heal status ailments. I look forward to seeing you all next time!

P.S: Can you tell Enzo I'm sorry?

With love,
Joseph

WAIT, SOMEONE STOP KENJI FROM EATING THE COOKIES!" Camille said.

Kenji came back with Enzo behind him, with only half of the cookies remaining in the jar.

"Kenji, you idiot!" Camille said, irritated.

"What did I do, meep?" He pouted.

"Those cookies can restore HP and status ailments!"

"Oh... sorry, meep."

"By the way, Enzo, Joseph said he's sorry." Camille said.

"I forgive him." Enzo smiled. "Let's go!"
