Feeling a little sick today. To Rangerkill: It will be Feeling a little sick today AGAIN. So don’t blame me if my story is a little stupid for this chapter.. XD Anyway, hope you enjoy reading it! And. eh.. Those who want to read “the journey” … I have deleted some chapters. I’ll tell you why.. LATER.

“Lightning..?” I muttered as I crawled deeper. A low growl shocked me as I jumped back, causing my head to hit the ground. “Oww..” I groaned as I rubbed my head. The shadow loomed above me as it came closer. My heart pounded. White fur caught my eyes as I immediately thought that it was either a White Pang or a Jr Yeti. A yeti won’t fit here. Low growls come from White Pangs only so I knew that it was a White Pang. It appeared and charged towards me. I shot Kumbis after Kumbis at it to slow it down but nothing seemed to work. It was dodging every star I threw at it. As it neared me, I got an idea and jumped. I hit my head again, but I managed to get onto the White Pang’s back. I than balanced myself and took out a Icicle and struck it right on it’s back. It howled and lied motionless on the ground. I panted heavily, knowing that this could be a place that Lightning is hidden. Whoever heard of a White Pang in a ship? Perhaps theres more… So I need to stock up my energy first. I bent low and ran towards the ladder. I appeared in Lightning’s Cabin and I dashed towards the Diner.

I stuffed some Hot Dog Supremes into my mouth and drank some OJ. I than took some Unagis, Hot Dog Supremes and 5 Pure Waters and stuffed it into my bag. I won’t want to risk me dying of hunger if I was trapped in that mysterious tunnel. I than headed for Lightning’s Cabin.

“That boy seemed quite suspicious. He’s heading towards the tunnel. Whaddya say about that?”
“Bring that boy to me. I want to see how much does he know about that tunnel.”

“Stormy dashed out as fast as he dashed into the Diner.” Observed Witz, drinking some Pure Water to restock her Mana. Evergreen nodded. “Wanna follow him?” Asked Evergreen. Witz immediately nodded and she stood up. Evergreen pulled her down. “Wait. We have to stock some food like he did. I don’t know why he did that, but he always have pre-cautions. ” Said Evergreen wisely. Witz didn’t quite follow, but agreed anyway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stumbled into the dark tunnel again and headed towards the same direction I went last time. This time, there wasn’t any White Pangs, but I didn’t dare to take and risks so I still had my Blood Gigantic equipped on. More shadows appeared as I went deeper. The air was damp and moist and it smelled of fur. Fur from monsters. A high pitch scream echoed around the tunnel. That was Lightning’s voice! “Don’t let it closer to me…” Another voice sounded and I headed towards the sound. There was a turn and I peeked from behind it. Lightning was inside a Cage! And there was someone right outside the cage, with a Werewolf behind him/her. Lightning stared in horror as the person opened the cage, letting the werewolf go in. “You better shut up if you want to get out of here in one whole piece.” The guy threatened. Somehow the voice sounded familiar… Than that guy walked towards the other side of the tunnel. I stared at Lightning. She didn’t even dare to move a muscle. The werewolf moved closer, but didn’t hurt her. And it won’t. I jumped out of the corner and shot Kumbis at the werewolf. It howled and than fell to the ground, not moving at all. She squealed when she saw me. I hasted myself and cut the cage with my blood gigantic. Than, she actually hugged me. “I was so scared…Stormy..” She mumbled as tears came to her sapphire coloured eyes. “Err.. We have to escape..” I said looking around. “Oh sorry.” She said. I laughed and pulled her towards the tunnel. But my smile soon turned into a frown when I saw that we were surrounded by White Pangs and Hectors. ” Sorry to break your bubble…” The man said as he took his hood off. I gasped. Plaren!

*Flashback*

“Catch me if you can, Stormy!” Laughed Plaren as he ran ahead of me, teleporting. I fell to the ground, trying to catch my breathe. “I-I give *pant* up…” I gasped. He laughed and teleported towards me. “You are a thief, yet you got no stamina. What kind of thief do you call yourself?” He giggled. ” A one that dosen’t need speed.” I answered and jumped on him, pushing him to the ground. ” Hey! Unfair!” He shouted and struggled. I laughed.

Plaren and I was childhood friends when I was only a thief. He left me to do his 3rd job avancement. And from than on, I didn’t see him anymore. I thought that he was merely staying somewhere else and will soon come back to play with me. But… A horrible thought always stayed in my mind : He was dead. From than on, I kept to myself, not wanting to talk to anybody. My best friend…. Had left me. Either to go Heaven or staying somewhere else. I did not make any friends until I went to 2nd Job school. That was when i met Witz, Evergreen and Lightning. We were inseperatable after we became friends. We went on trips together, do homework together and train together too. But to this day, I still hope that I can find Plaren. And I guess my wish had been fullfilled.

*Flashback ends*

“Guess who is it… Stormy!” He laughed and than gave me a glance. “You’ve grown a lot since we last were together.” “I was never your friend! You left me when I was only a thief!” I shouted. “Tsk, Tsk. You don’t learn from mistakes eh?” He asked as he slowly came over. “You know this guy?” Asked Lightning as she shivered. “And who is this cute little girl? Your girlfriend?” He asked. I blushed a bright red and so did Lightning. “Heh, says it all on your face.” He said.

Me:Enough of this Chit-Chat. Why have you got monsters here?
Plaren: Heh, I guess you are going to die anyway. So I can tell you.
Me: What!? We are going to die?

Plaren shrugged.

Lightning: B-But.. You can’t kill us.
Plaren(grinning) : Why not, cutie?
Lightning: C-Cause you…
Me: Stop trash talking Plare. Speak.
Plaren: Well, I am working for a Guild called Disasters. This Guild wants to take over Maple. So I am creating a monster army to kill everybody. The 4 guardians of Victoria and the Fairies of Orbis, the People Of El Nath. Than we can have Maple all to ourselves!

I glared at him. “You’ll never get Maple! Not on my life!” I shouted. Lightning shivered as she never heard me shout before. “What makes you think we can’t take over Maple?” Plaren asked, laughing manacially. “You are absoloutely mad!” I shouted. “That’s why!” He smiled sheepishly and walked closer to me that I can even smell his breathe. “You are stupid, aren’t you, Stormy. You have never changed yet. And that is your weakness. Your rage. You can’t control it. So that leads to mistakes. ” He said. I glared at him angrily. “I ain’t your slave to be scolded by you like this! ” I shouted and shot my claw at his heart. He grabbed my hand and stopped me. Lightning was immobolized. I glared at him, from my hand to his face. He than shot a Thunder spear at me, causing me to fly back, paralyzed. I couldn’t move and part of my body, not to say my eyes. Paralyzed, the only thing I could do was to look helplessly at him as he dragged me to a Cage and Lightning to another.

“I’ll never forgive you, Plaren. For leaving me and betraying me. And now you want to destroy the world! I will hate you forever, Plaren. Even if I DIE!”
