Fubuki Sumiye: The Escape from Dread Tower (Book 2)(Completed)

Ep 7: Questions And Few Answers

After searching around the group realized they weren't making any progress trying to search a large house.

Aiger suggested they split up to cover more ground and so they did.

Nika paired up with Toko.

Gumita was with Tobisuke.

Ranjiro tagged along with Aiger.

And since Naru was still scared Fubuki decided to "protect" her.

"So where do you want to explore?" Naru asked.

"How about this way."

Fubuki led Naru to another wing of the house to the Study. Meanwhile Toko and Nika took the Kitchen and Dining. And Gumita and Tobisuke went to the Garden and Garage.

As they were walking Naru took out her iPad and started researching. Opening the door to the study it was a dark room.

Moving his hand along the wall Fubuki searched for a light switch and turned on the lights.

Two chairs were beside each other facing the desk. Behind the desk was a tall window. Outside the sky was black and if you looked closely you could see the stars.

A chandelier hung from the ceiling while two bookcases were on either side of the desk. Fubuki searched through the books and desk but he didn't find anything.

"Hey Fubuki check this out."

"According to this the house is haunted! An owner of a bey team used to live here along with their members. That's why there's so many rooms! But as time went on something else was going on. It is said that this place is haunted by the owner. And if you listen closely you can hear the sounds of beyblades."

"Here maybe one of these books has some more information about this place.

Fubuki pulled out another book triggering a trap door. Both of them fell in and where sent to another part of the estate.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"

"Naru?"

Aiger whipped his head around looking around trying to find the source of the noise.

"What's up man?"

"I thought I heard Naru."

"She's fine besides Fubuki's with her."

"I guess you're right."

Aiger and Ranjiro were upstairs checking the bedrooms.

"We'll start at the end of the hallway and work our way to the other side."

"Sounds good to me."

Aiger opened the first door, expecting something scary but instead it was only stairs going up to the attic.

"So you want to go first?"

"Nah man, by all means you go first."

Ranjiro pushed Aiger closer to the doorway.

"Well you were the one who insisted so you should go first." Aiger pushed Ranjiro into the doorway.

Ranjiro hung onto the doorway and pushed resisting Aiger.

"Are you scared?" Aiger asked with a cocky grin.

"What?No! Fine I'll go prove it!"

Ranjiro raced up the stairs as fast as Sonic the Hedgehog. Aiger leaned in the doorway.

"Find anything?"

"Ahhhh!!"

"Captain?" Aiger raced up the stairs only to find Ranjiro perfectly fine grinning at Aiger.

"Got you, you fell for it! Hehe."

"Why you little.."

Aiger chased Ranjiro around the hallway until they got tired of running. For the rest of their time upstairs they dared each other to peek inside of the dark bedrooms and closets.

At one point Ranjiro dares Aiger to go into a room without the lights on. When Aiger came out he was sopping wet from the shower because he thought it was a door.

"Alright last bedroom Aiger, Truth or Dare." Asked Ranjiro gesturing to the door.

"I pick truth."

"Oh okay, what do you think happened to Free De La Hoya?"

Aiger was silent thinking/choosing his words carefully.

"I dunno I mean, I heard Valt talking about him a while ago. Something about Theodore Glass and Phi. Apparently Free had been onto some big conspiracy having to do with those two. A couple days before his match he told Valt about the possibility of those two working together."

"What Phi? What would Phi be doing with Theodore Glass?"

"Who's this Theodore Glass everyone is talking about?"

"Okay so a couple of years ago my big brother told me about a mysterious man: Theodore Glass. He used to run this place called the Snake Pit. Bladers used to go there wanting power including the Shu Kurenai."

"Shu! What was he doing there?"

"Beats me, he probably wanted power or something." said Ranjiro taking out a lollipop.

"But what does Phi have to do with all this and Free. They're both lone wolf types. What would they be doing with Free?"

"Well Phi I have no idea but Free's probably there against his own will I'd guess."

"Wait a minute you said something about bladers going there for power what happened to Shu."

"Well according to big bro and his friends Shu became obsessed with power and in return he pushed his friends aside. He hid his identity and eventually became possessed by Spryzen and.."

"What if that's happening to Free?"

"What do you mean?"

"What if Free pushes his friends aside, think about it, he's always going on those training adventures alone. He does meet people but not always."

"And he does probably want to be number one again. But if he's there at the Snake Pit then wouldn't he want to tell Valt or something."

"That's it! What if Free's possessed by Fafnir! Then he must be going through the same thing Shu went through."

"We need to tell the others about this."

"Wait so I still have one question."

"Yeah?"

"How does Phi know Theodore Glass?"
