Ordinal Heart

Chapter four: God of the sea.

At Oras house

Hearing keys rattle behind her Ora knew what was to come. "BOO!" shouted Alexander as he approached what he thought was silently but by the look of Oras unassumed look he pouted in defeat. "You'll need to be quieter than that silly" she stated after a small smile and turning to kiss her boyfriend's cheek. "We're meeting everyone else at the cafe at five remember?" "Yeah, I'd like to be with you alone some more but I sure missed twinkle toes and the rest". "We'll make sure you eat, breakfast is on the table" she said as she pointed to the table. "you cooked for me?" "Are you that shocked? I don't mind cooking for you, I've gotten better in six years, still not as good as you though" "naw you'll make me blush" Frewby said jokingly. "It's already four thridy, we should go now" Ora stated as she grabbed her handbag. "As you wish my princesses".

Downtown

Everyone soon arrived at the arranged meeting spot, taking there seats a waitress approached the table and spoke with a soft smile. "hello may I take any orders?" Yeah please I'd if possible like to use my ordinal heart rank to get a discount on a smoothie for everyone here please and thank you!" Frewby asked returning the young lady's smile. "We can do that for if you could show me proof of your rank please?" "Sure thing".

As Frewby opened his player info the waitress almost dropped her pen and paper before gasping. "Oh.. umm.. if you could excuse me one moment!" The waitress turned quickly moving over to the kitchen for a few moments. "Um.. Frewby.. why did she have that response?" Petra asked with a raised eyebrow. "Maybe his rank is so bad she can't give him a discount" Chris joked as he started to laugh. "Hm? I don't think my rank is that bad?" said Frewby as his player window closed.

What appeared to be a middle-aged man approached the group with the young waitress in toe, both carrying two trays each filled with smoothies. Placing them down the workers bowed to Frewby "please accept this as a token for coming to this cafe of the many you could attend, ordinal heart has become a major part of the community and if you could be so kind as to refer us to anymore of your friends we would appreciate it, also we offer this as a congratulations for working so hard for such a rank" The whole group aside from Rebecca and Shrio looked at Frewby in surprise. "Frew.. what rank are you?".

"WHAT!?" Everyone shouted in unison as they looked at the player info of Frewby, Eve and Wave.

Frewby: rank 2
Longsword

Eve: rank 9
Katana

Wave: rank 11
Bow

"I call hax!" Shouted Chris. "How did you three get such high ranks?" Asked panda with a curious eye. "On the way to work" Shrio said, "during break times" Rebecca pitched in with her usual bright smile, "and on the way home I guess" Frewby said shrugging. "YOU GUESS!?" "Chris calm down, they obviously worked hard for their ranks" Ora said as sialica bubbled her smoothie. "More like no lifed it" Don said receiving a flick behind the ear from konno and Allina.

"The real question is, who's rank one?" Asked James who lookedtoward Chris's smoothie receiving a glare in return. "This ain't spirit heart, no messing with my drinks and turning me green" "that was good times" James said letting a grin cross his face. "We don't know who rank one is, it's not on the leaderboards and we couldn't find anything in our searches" Rebecca said as she spoke up. "Whoever it is, they must not have a job". Hearing Raven say this earned laughter from the group who all took the joined laughter as an agreement that was soon cut short by a loud siren outside. "What the? Isn't that a boss spawn?!" Shouts from passerbys could be heard as the group stood before editing the cafe activating there gear.

Standing at least ten stories high was a large blueish green monster. It's legs were plain and it's body was blob like, it's arms seemed frail but wielded large pincers for hands, it's mouth could not seen as it was ethier covered or was a mess of octopus like tentacles lashing about for it's next meal.

"What is it?" Asked Allina who shook slightly at the sheer size of the thing. Most of the group exchanged looks before returning their eyes to the large monstrous being.

"Neptune".
