CHAPTER 5: "Transition"

~(N) FLARIS~

Penelope: "Yes, my parents were..."
Ace: "killed during the fight..."
Shawn: "just like ours..."
"Let's cut the drama xD"

"Shawn, I may need to go training a lil' later..."
"That's fine... want me to come with you?"
"I don't mind... What about you Penelope? Wanna come along with us?"
"Wow... You sure have weird ways to ask a girl out" :ridicule:
Ace: :glare:
"It's nothing like that at all Penelope... It's a long story"
"Ooh... a story xD let's talk about it along the way"
To the Arena!

~"Saint Morning"~
(The Old Arena)

~Penelope now knows the whole story about Ace

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that Ace =( "
"Nah, it's alright"
"Well then, let me help you with your search ^^ "
"Huh?"
"Hahaha... I always wanted an adventure ^^ "
"But it's dangerous"
"I love danger xD "
*whispers to Ace* "You sure she's a girl?"
"Hey, I heard that!"
Shawn: :sparkle:
"Well then, let's get started with the training"
"Do take me lightly... "
"After what you've done to my nose?" :glare:
"Let's get stronger to find that meanie in red! xD "
"Buff us up Shawn ^^ "

"Strength, Vital and Speed I bestow
To be stronger and wiser, the right they will know"

"Mental Sign?!" :glare:
Shawn: :sparkle:
"Here I come Ace!"
"Woah!"


The three had A LOT OF FUN training...
Ace almost got beaten by Penelope...

"I sure had lots of fun"
"I think we all did ^^"
"Yeah"
"Can't wait for the next training session xD "
"I'm getting to have a feeling that Penelope's gonna be the reason for my death... "
~The three laughed...


meanwhile...

~Somewhere in Roika~

??? : "What have you decided?"
???: "I still don't know"
"It's almost time"
"I'll be ready by then... Don't worry"
"When the time comes, even WE need to be well prepared"
??? : "Now that the Elite Brigade is there we need to be more careful"
"But they still have a long way to go before they are a challenge to us"
"Even so, we need not be seen"
"He's doing the wrong thing"
"We're not in the position to say that..."
???: "If that ever happens again, I fear my arm will be paralyzed"
"Don't worry about your arm... Im with you guys now ^^ "
"We need to find him as soon as possible"
"He needs to be with us by then... I really miss him"
"He still needs to be a lot stronger"

~A FEW WEEKS LATER...
~"Saint Morning"~
(The Old Arena)

~The three are training again

"Im getting good at this"
"You sure are... I'm having a hard time trying to find an opening"
"You two got a lot stronger ^^"
"Look who's talking :ridicule: Your buffs got better too ^^ "

"Let's test ourselves ^^ "
"I always wanted to enter the mines located in Darkon"
"Well then... Let's go there ^^ "

"Darken"

"Whoa! What happened here?"
"Where are all the people?"
"This is giving me the creeps T__T Let's go back to SM"
"Funny, I just remembered you were the one who wanted to do this :ridicule: "
But this is scary T_T Where are all the people? T_T "
"Maybe they found a boss monster nearby and everyone is helping out in killing it right now"

As they continued walking, it became clear to them that there was really no one in town...

"Let go of me Penelope :glare: "
" T___T But I'm scared T___T "
"Then go tackle Shawn instead :ridicule: "
"Don't even think about it"
"Oh well, let's head to the mines"
"Let's go"

As they were going towards the mines, they noticed that even monsters weren't around...

"This is strange"
"I wonder what happened"
"I don't wanna know T__T"
