Chapter 11 - Jen appears @ 2:13 PM

The trio reached the house several minutes later. The place was trashed and no one was around anymore.

At this point of time, Jen was rushing towards Platonia in search of Angii and Veraca. But someone else was also on their way there.

"Go hide somewhere safe," Veraca said. "We will find your father."

Veraca and Angii split up to find Dr. Jelly. Veraca walked around Platonia cautiously. She felt that someone was watching her, but she was unable to pinpoint exactly where they are. Suddenly, from a second story of a building nearby, several sword wielding fighters jumped down to attack her.

She dodged the attacks quickly and retaliated. Pushing them backwards with Impaling Rage, she created a distance between them. Five people in front of her. They all seemed very skillful.

The five charged out in different directions towards Veraca. Veraca parried against the front, left and right attacker, but was open for attacks from behind. Just as the last two fighters was close enough to deliver a powerful blow, the were stopped by a Whirlwind Blaze. The immediately jumped away and turned back.

They saw Angii standing behind, casting spells. The tallest of the five, which was attacking Veraca gave the other two a signal, and they immediately started attacking Angii, pushing her away from Veraca.

Angii's spells have very short casting time, keeping the two fighters busy dodging them. After a while, after casting so many spells rapidly, Angii started panting as she fell to her knees. She managed to injure one of the two fighters, but he was still going strong.

Back at Veraca, the three fighters couldn't get to close at the same time, because of Veraca's Impaling Rage. One fighter dashed from the back, and Veraca reacted with a Card Strike, which he blocked easily with his sword. The second one came from the front. He was still a distance away when he waved his sword. Veraca then felt a stinging pain on her left arm. A cut! How...?

She looked up at his blade, and it was covered with a glowing aura, making the sword larger and longer. "Chi Blade..." Veraca mumbled.

The two continued their attacks, with Veraca fending them off. After several minutes, she was getting tired. Out of no where the third person joined in, and Veraca immediately used her Impaling Rage again. However this time, the three fighters disappeared into thin air. Immediately, the tallest person came from the front and delivered a Uppercut into her stomach, knocking her out instantly. She had been fooled by the Shadow skill one of the fighters had used.

Angii was about to be defeated by the two fighters, when suddenly, Jen came running out of one of the buildings, catching the two person by surprise. Jen knocked the swords out of their hands, and Angii gave them a high energy Arrow Rush, knocking them away, defeating them.

Jen immediately rushed towards where Veraca was. But when she reached, the place was trashed, but empty and quiet.

"I'm too late..." Jen said, clenching her fists.

Chapter 10 - Platonia @ 4:38 PM

Platonia, a small town way beyond Aquarius. It was forgotten for centuries after a giant tsunami destroyed the town. In those hundreds of years, the monsters in the area grew so much stronger than those around Caballa. There were two cases of adventurers that attempted to reach Platonia, but they had lost contact with the outside.

Being so desserted, Veraca and Angii battled their way through the horde of monsters, and finally after two full days they reached Platonia. When the entered the town, they were weak and exhuasted. They lost conciousness right after they entered the town.

They awoke a few days later, and found themselves inside a well furnished room. Suddenly, the door opened and a young girl walked in. She seem to be wearing a pink jellyfish on her head.

"You have woken up!" she exclaimed happily. "Jim! They are awake!"

"That's great, Jill" Jim replied as he walked into the room. Jim was wearing a blue jellyfish on his head.

"I'm Jill," the girl said. "How are you two feelling? My brother found you two unconcious near our home."

"We're fine, just exhausted," Veraca said. "I'm Veraca and that's Angii."

"I heard that this place is totally desserted for ages. do you live here?" Angii asked.

"Our parents and grandparents were scientist and explorers." Jill explained. "They came out here to study the place twenty years ago. It seems that the monsters got a lot stronger and they were unable to leave the place. My brother and I, we borned here. Twins."

Jim brought Veraca and Angii downstairs to the dinning table where two more men sat. One of them looked really dorky and nerdy. He has a blue jellyfish on his head and wore a pair of large round glasses. "You can called me Dr. Jelly. I'm Jim and Jill's father."

The older man sitting beside Dr. Jelly was asleep. "That's our grandfather," Jim said.

As soon as Veraca and Angii sat down at the table, Dr.Jelly asked. "So, is there any reason you girls are here? It must have taken a lot of effort to get to this area."

Veraca and Angii took turns explaining what exactly happened. It seems that they had no idea what happened outside, as they have no way of communication with the outside world.

After explaining everything, Dr. Jelly said, "You are welcome to stay here if you want. You might not be so lucky to survive getting out this time."

And that was three years ago. Now, Veraca and Angii were staying in Platonia happily with the Jelly family.

Veraca, Angii and Jill was walking around the abandon town when in the distance, outside of town, they saw some bright lights. It kept flashing and it was getting closer.

They dashed back to the house and Jill shouted out to her father. "Dad! There are some light outside! There might be people coming this way!"

"Really?!" Dr. Jelly pulled open the drapes and opened the window. This time the light was a lot brighter and closer. Dr. Jelly responded to the light with a spotlight in is laboratory. After a while, the light in the distance died out.

"If those were people, I think they didn't make it..." Dr. Jelly said after thirty minutes. He went back to his work, depressed. Veraca and the rest left the house and went back to strolling around the town.

After some time, several people entered Platonia and ran into the house, all armed with weapons.

A loud scream from the house was heard. This caught the attention of the trio, and the immediately sprinted back to the house.

Meanwhile, back with Tykro, in the underground city, Lina refused to answer him. "There will be more people coming here. We will talk then. For now, just rest." With that, Lina left the building, leaving Tykro at the doorway, alone.

Chapter 9 - Saviours? @ 9:41 AM

After three years of running, the world remained in it's sorry state. However, during that period of time, there were other people, other then the AGA, looking for the members of the Guardian Angels. They were the ones who believe in them.

"There he is!"

Several hunters spotted Tykro wandering in the Tapasco fields, and started giving chase. Tykro managed to take out a few, but several of them were really skillful, and continued to give chase. He ran through a giant tunnel and hid on the other side.

Suddenly, loud footsteps was heard. A Spicy Dragon! It slowly advanced towards Tykro. Its mouth opened up, and flames started to form in its mouth. Exhuasted from the running, Tykro didn't even try to fight back.

Suddenly, a beeping sound was heard. It got louder and faster, until it sounded like it was just beside him. As sudden as it started, it stopped. A boulder near by him started to float. Curious, Tykro approached it. Someone in a robe was lifting it.

"Hurry, in here!"

Without thinking twice, Tykro jumped into the hole below, and the boulder closed right after. Right at that moment, the hunters emerged from the tunnel, and were caught in the flames of the Spicy Dragon. Screams were heard. Painful screams.

Tykro dropped to the floor, exhuasted. He looked up at the person in the robe and said, "Thanks for saving me... Who are you...?"

The person pull down the hood. A blue hair Boxer. "My name is Lina. Follow me. We will talk somewhere else."

Lina led the way through a long tunnel. Finally after a twenty minutes walk, a light at the end could be seen. They walked into the light, and to Tykro's surprise, it was a underground city. Lights were attached to the top of the caves. The view was amazing, from the top. They decended the stairs into the city.

Lina brought Tykro to the biggest building, in the middle of the cavern. There was a large table with ten chairs around it. As soon as they entered, two person emerged from the room at the back.

"You've found your target, Lina?" the white haired Bard said.

"Yeah, I got to him in time, before the Spicy Dragon or the Hunters could touch him."

"Alright time for me to leave than," the Entertainer said.

"Be careful out there, Jen."

With that Jen left the building. Lina turned to Tykro and said, "There's a several rooms at the back. Take a rest in one of them and we will talk when you are feeling better."

Lina pushed him into the rooms, and then went back to the front.

"Have you located your target, Amelie?" Lina asked.

"Not yet... She runs around too much. It's hard to get a lock on her..."

"You must hurry... We mustn't let the AGA catch them, or else we will be in trouble. Bring her back as soon as possible."

"Alright," replied Amelie. "I'll go try to find her again."

Amelie went into the room at the left. Once the door closed, Lina walked to the door at the back, and said, "Are you done eavesdropping?"

Tykro opened the door. Face to face, Tykro asked, "What is this place?"

Chapter 8 - Destruction @ 7:49 PM

"Take this," Yomi said, as he passed a small blue orb to each and every one of them. "It will grant you extra power when used."

He then walked towards the biggest computer in the room. He pushed several buttons, and the machine started up. They heard a whirling sound for several seconds, before it died out.

"That's all...?" Lolli asked.

"That's lame..." continued Para.

"The fun part is just beginning," Yomi replied, with a menacing grin on his face. He turned on several computer monitors. One showed the Tapasco area, another showing Megalopolis, and other screens showing different locations of Caballa. One screen showed the whole of Caballa, from top.

When he stopped talking, everything happened. The volcanoes around Caballa started erupting. Earthquakes were happening all over Caballa. Heavy rain started. Strong winds brewed, and in some places, hurricanes swept the area. Caballa was being devastated by these phenomenon. The only place that was safe was this area.

"Now go and assist the destruction. Wipe out those who get in the way!"

Sei, Para, Lolli, Alpha and Beta left the room immediately, heading towards Megalopolis.

Meanwhile, Tykro exited the Monster Guild.

"What's with this sudden change in weather...? I can see the volcanoes erupting in the distance..." Tykro mumbled.

Suddenly, he was pulled in by Liange. "Watch out... There's a hurricane heading this way."

Alpha and Beta led the attack in the city. They destroyed the buildings everywhere. Of course, the reason they led the attack was to mislead the people that they were Chio and Aurora.

Yomi used his machine to control the hurricanes, to surround the Monster Guild, preventing anyone to leave or enter. This gave them time to destroy the city.

City after city was destroyed. Burned down to the grounds. Only after almost every city was destroyed, was the hurricane around the Monster Guild stopped.

At this point of time, many people in Megalopolis gathered outside the Monster Guild. Several of them were injured, blood on their arms, legs or on their head. They came to demand an explanation, as to why Chio and Aurora were destroying the place, and why they did not come to help.

No one believed them when they said that the Chio and Aurora they saw were imposters. They couldn't confirm that themselves either. Everyone left the Guild, the only building left standing after the disaster. Many people now think that they were in cahoots with those who destroyed the city, and more than three quarters of Caballa.

The people started to hate them. They slowly got casted aside, despised by majority of the people of Caballa.

Caballa then became a chaotic place. People started losng trust towards Rosetta, as they felt that she was helping the wrong people. A secret organization was set up, by the higher-ups of the castle, called the "Anti Guardian Association", or AGA. It hired skillful fighters as bounty hunters to find the members of the Guardian Angels* and possibly, kill them.

After several attempts, they had no choice but the leave the Monster Guild, hiding from everyone else. They went their own different ways, and at the same time investigating the disappearence of the rest of the Guardian Angels.

However, there were people who still believed that they were innocent, and the truth was hidden somewhere. But since those who believed those words were the minority, it was dangerous for them to talk about it, the AGA also aims to finish them off.

Months pasts. Cities were halfway to restoration. That was when Yomi activated his machine again, destroying the cities yet again. This went on, several times, until the citizens gave up on trying to revive their hometown. Their hatred towards the Guardian Angels became stronger.




*Guardian Angels: The group name for the good guys, which was named in Part 1, chapter 4. For those who remembered something was disbanded, it was in Part 1, Chapter 19. It was the Paladins that was disbanded, the group that was fighting the TenterLion before the Guardian Angels joined the battle. Even I forgot which was disbanded ._.

Chapter 7 - Operation Mass Capture @ 6:52 PM

Bakaeep and Soul froze in their positions. They heard a loud crashing sound from the room beside theirs. Immediately, they went back to trying to free Chio. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break or split open the bars.

They heard footsteps closing in to their room. Seconds later, voices. Then another crash. This time, it was the door from the opposite side. Right after that, it was quiet outside.

"You think they are gone...?" Bakaeep asked.

"I doubt so.." Soul replied.

Suddenly, Chio groaned and moved a little.

"Chio!" Bakaeep shouted. Soul immediately placed her hands over her mouth.

"Keep quiet!"

Chio's eyes opened a little, and closed straight away. Right at this moment, they heard the door knob turning. The door wouldn't open, as they had locked it. Seconds later, the door knob stopped moving, and a shot was fired. The doorknob along with the lock was damaged, and the door just swung open.

Sei walked in with Para.

"That's the end of the line." Sei said as he pointed his gun at Bakaeep's head.

Soul placed her fingers secretly into the small pocket on ther side of her coat. She quickly took out a small knife, lifted her hands and prepared to toss it at Sei. But Soul froze in position. She couldn't move. The knife was immediately shot out of her hands. Her eyes immediately went to Para, who had used a Skunk Pouch without her knowledge.

This time, Sei was holding a second gun, which was smoking away. The target of the second gun, Soul's head. "Don't try anything funny..."

Both Bakaeep and Soul are immobilised. They couldn't even struggle. The effect of the Skunk Pouch was several times stronger than Veraca's. All of a sudden, they both felt a sudden sting on their arm.

The effect of Para's Skunk Pouch wore off. They turned around to find a small knife in their arm, with Lolli behind them. They felt weaker and weaker. Even without the Skunk Pouch, they could hardly fight back.

"Poison Assault...?" Soul muttered weakly. Seconds later, they both fell to the ground, unconcious.

Sei turned to the Inventors and Explorers. "Bring them away, and fix these doors!"

With that, the three of them left the area, leaving everything to the Inventors and the Explorers. Bakaeep and Soul were moved to the room's with their names, and placed in the capsules.

Meanwhile, in Megalopolis Monster Guild, everyone was taking turns taking care of Rwinna. She was still unconcious, tossing and turning in her bed. She has a high fever which wouldn't go away.

Two days later, Rwinna's condition didn't get any better. Sighing, Liange walked out of the room to get some water. As she approached the kitchen, she heard the sound of breaking glass from Rwinna's room. She dashed back and to her surprise, Rwinna was no longer in her bed. Liange looked out of the window, but saw no one suspicious.

Outside, in the SouthEast Forest, HornedBull was trying to master his new skill. He struck a huge tree infront of him. The tree split into two halves, revealing the hidden Beta. Of course, HornedBull mistook her as Aurora. Alpha suddenly appeared behind HornedBull, and used an UpperCut. The force sent him flying, unable to move. Alpha then appeared above him, and sent him crashing back to the ground with a Tetra Punch.

"Operation Mass Capture is almost complete," Alpha said. "Now we have... Five more left."

"Yup. Tykro, Liange, Angii, Veraca and Tuvis. But no one has heard from Tuvis in a long time. Wonder where we can find him..."

"It doesn't matter. We will do what we can."

Suddenly, there was a beeping sound. Alpha pulled out a Portable Port AD. "Message from the boss. Operation Mass Capture is to be placed on hold. We are to return. He will be doing something, and wants us to be there."

"Okay. Let's go."

With a press of a button, the two teleported back to their hideout.

They entered an observertory at the top of the building. They were greeted by Lolli and Para at the entrance.

"Welcome back." Yomi said. "Now, you shall witness the most interesting thing in the world!"

Chapter 6 - Three more People @ 7:20 PM

Bakaeep turned around, to her surprise, it was Soul.

"What's going on...? Where is this place?" Bakaeep asked.

"I don't know... I was at the Tapasco Mines with Rwinna, and we met Chio and Aurora. Probably imposters. We fought a little, and i was knocked out. When I woke up, I found myself in giant capsule. I forced myself out, and I'm looking for a way out."

"I see..."

Suddenly, from the door at the entrance of the hallway, they heard fast footsteps. "They're in there! Get them!"

"Hide!" Soul whispered.

The two dashed in to the middle room, and locked the door. The jammed the door by stacking the chairs against the doorknob. They looked around the room, and Soul just froze on the spot.

"What's wrong...?"

"This room...! I came from this room!"

Indeed, one of the capsules was broken. Glass and some liquid from the capsule were all over the floor, with footprints leading to left of the two doors at the other end of the room. Just then, they heard the people outside trying to force open the door.

"Let's go, the right door!"

They dashed through the door, heading out. At this moment, gun shots were heard outside. The lock was blown off the door, and it was easily pushed open. A Cyber Hunter walked into the room, holding a gun in each hand. Smoke were coming out of the barrel. He walked in and surveyed the area.

"Go the the left door, Group A. Group B, follow me through the right door! Move, move, move!"

He ran through the room, behind him was two groups of Inventors. They split up, and went through each door.

Bakaeep and Soul emerged in another hallway. This time, there were loads of doors. The ran through the hallway, when something on the door caught their attention.

"Chio"

"Aurora"

"Soul"

"Rwinna"

And so on. It was the names of everyone on each door. Then entered the room with their own names, but it was empty. Just a cell, and a capsule. Then they entered the door with Chio's name. To their surprise, they saw Chio sitting at one corner of the cell, not moving at all. They dashed towards the cell, and tried to break open the bars.

Outside, the Cyber Hunter entered the hallway. He was greeted by two person. A Diva and a Hunter Lord.

"What did you lose this time, SeiMizu?" the Hunter Lord asked.

"Call me Sei will do. And it's none of your business..."

"Third room on the left. You will find what you have lost there," the Diva said.

"Thanks, Para." Sei replied.

He walked towards the room, and positioned himself right outside, together with the several Inventors.

I signalled to one of the Inventors to knock the door down.

One.... Two.... Three! The Inventor kicked the door off it's hinches, and it crashed to the ground creating a large cloud of dust.

"Don't move!" Sei shouted.

Chapter 5 - Accidental Infiltration @ 5:34 PM

Yomi sat in his big chair in the middle of the dark room and he started questioning Alpha and Beta, after they had returned. "Why is there only one...?"

"My apologies," Alpha said. "The two Thief Masters had reinforcements, and we had to retreat."

"You could have defeated them anyway..." Yomi said, eyeing them suspiciously. "I expect you to finish this job before you rest. I want you to set off as soon as possible, and bring her here!"

"Yes sir!" Alpha and Beta said, and left the room.

At this point of time, Bakaeep got closer and closer to the building. She advanced carefully, just in case there are traps around. About 10 kilometres away, she had to stop to rest. She leaned against a tall tree and started catching her breath.

Suddenly, a few minutes later, a giant boulder infront of her started to shake. Bakaeep ducked behind a tree, and watched. The boulder slid to the side, revealing a passageway. Alpha and Beta then emerged. But of course, Bakaeep still didn't know who they are.

The two walked forward, and to avoid being seen, Bakaeep started walking around the tree. Suddenly, Alpha stopped and looked towards Bakaeep's direction. Bakaeep stood still, scared to move. She had stepped and a few branches and dead leaves, giving off some snapping and crushing sound.

Alpha walked towards the tree, going to investigate. Before he reached, Beta grabbed her on the shoulders. "Stop wasting time. We've got work to do..."

Alpha walked away, but she was still surveying the area carefully. Finally, she stopped and sped off into the distance with Beta. Bakaeep sat on the ground, giving off a sigh of relief. She then returned to the boulder, but was already back in its original location.

She pushed the boulder with all her might, but the boulder wouldn't budge. Countless efforts proved to be in vain. Finally, she tried moving it with her spells, but it still didn't work. After walking around for days, her spells just didn't have the power to crush or move the rock.

Bakaeep moved back, but tripped over something. She dug out some of the soil and noticed there were metal tracks for the boulder to slide on. In between the tracks was a red handle. She gave it a pull, and the boulder slid open.

She entered the passageway, and followed the winding hallway. There were many rooms on each side, but were mostly empty. Only some room had several boxes and crates. Finally, after walking for an hour, she reached a flight of stairs. "Up or down...?" she thought.

From the bottom, she heard a lot of sounds. Metal clanking, and some static. She ventured downwards. The hallway wasn't very long, and there was only three rooms at the end of the hallway.

She peeked into the left room and noticed it was a storeroom of weapons. She noticed someone at the back of the room. In the room on the right, there were machines and computers. Finally, she walked to the last room at the end of the hall. As she was about to turn the doorknob, she felt someone's hand on her shoulder.

"What are you doing here...?!"

Chapter 11 - Jen appears @ 2:13 PM

The trio reached the house several minutes later. The place was trashed and no one was around anymore.

At this point of time, Jen was rushing towards Platonia in search of Angii and Veraca. But someone else was also on their way there.

"Go hide somewhere safe," Veraca said. "We will find your father."

Veraca and Angii split up to find Dr. Jelly. Veraca walked around Platonia cautiously. She felt that someone was watching her, but she was unable to pinpoint exactly where they are. Suddenly, from a second story of a building nearby, several sword wielding fighters jumped down to attack her.

Chapter 10 - Platonia @ 4:38 PM

Platonia, a small town way beyond Aquarius. It was forgotten for centuries after a giant tsunami destroyed the town. In those hundreds of years, the monsters in the area grew so much stronger than those around Caballa. There were two cases of adventurers that attempted to reach Platonia, but they had lost contact with the outside.

The older man sitting beside Dr. Jelly was asleep. "That's our grandfather," Jim said.

Chapter 9 - Saviours? @ 9:41 AM

After three years of running, the world remained in it's sorry state. However, during that period of time, there were other people, other then the AGA, looking for the members of the Guardian Angels. They were the ones who believe in them.

"There he is!"

Several hunters spotted Tykro wandering in the Tapasco fields, and started giving chase. Tykro managed to take out a few, but several of them were really skillful, and continued to give chase. He ran through a giant tunnel and hid on the other side.

"Not yet... She runs around too much. It's hard to get a lock on her..."

"You must hurry... We mustn't let the AGA catch them, or else we will be in trouble. Bring her back as soon as possible."

"Alright," replied Amelie. "I'll go try to find her again."

Amelie went into the room at the left. Once the door closed, Lina walked to the door at the back, and said, "Are you done eavesdropping?"

Tykro opened the door. Face to face, Tykro asked, "What is this place?"

Chapter 8 - Destruction @ 7:49 PM

"Take this," Yomi said, as he passed a small blue orb to each and every one of them. "It will grant you extra power when used."

He then walked towards the biggest computer in the room. He pushed several buttons, and the machine started up. They heard a whirling sound for several seconds, before it died out.

"That's all...?" Lolli asked.

"That's lame..." continued Para.

"The fun part is just beginning," Yomi replied, with a menacing grin on his face. He turned on several computer monitors. One showed the Tapasco area, another showing Megalopolis, and other screens showing different locations of Caballa. One screen showed the whole of Caballa, from top.

When he stopped talking, everything happened. The volcanoes around Caballa started erupting. Earthquakes were happening all over Caballa. Heavy rain started. Strong winds brewed, and in some places, hurricanes swept the area. Caballa was being devastated by these phenomenon. The only place that was safe was this area.

"Now go and assist the destruction. Wipe out those who get in the way!"

Sei, Para, Lolli, Alpha and Beta left the room immediately, heading towards Megalopolis.

Meanwhile, Tykro exited the Monster Guild.

"What's with this sudden change in weather...? I can see the volcanoes erupting in the distance..." Tykro mumbled.

Suddenly, he was pulled in by Liange. "Watch out... There's a hurricane heading this way."

Alpha and Beta led the attack in the city. They destroyed the buildings everywhere. Of course, the reason they led the attack was to mislead the people that they were Chio and Aurora.

Yomi used his machine to control the hurricanes, to surround the Monster Guild, preventing anyone to leave or enter. This gave them time to destroy the city.

City after city was destroyed. Burned down to the grounds. Only after almost every city was destroyed, was the hurricane around the Monster Guild stopped.

At this point of time, many people in Megalopolis gathered outside the Monster Guild. Several of them were injured, blood on their arms, legs or on their head. They came to demand an explanation, as to why Chio and Aurora were destroying the place, and why they did not come to help.

No one believed them when they said that the Chio and Aurora they saw were imposters. They couldn't confirm that themselves either. Everyone left the Guild, the only building left standing after the disaster. Many people now think that they were in cahoots with those who destroyed the city, and more than three quarters of Caballa.

The people started to hate them. They slowly got casted aside, despised by majority of the people of Caballa.

Caballa then became a chaotic place. People started losng trust towards Rosetta, as they felt that she was helping the wrong people. A secret organization was set up, by the higher-ups of the castle, called the "Anti Guardian Association", or AGA. It hired skillful fighters as bounty hunters to find the members of the Guardian Angels* and possibly, kill them.

After several attempts, they had no choice but the leave the Monster Guild, hiding from everyone else. They went their own different ways, and at the same time investigating the disappearence of the rest of the Guardian Angels.

However, there were people who still believed that they were innocent, and the truth was hidden somewhere. But since those who believed those words were the minority, it was dangerous for them to talk about it, the AGA also aims to finish them off.

Months pasts. Cities were halfway to restoration. That was when Yomi activated his machine again, destroying the cities yet again. This went on, several times, until the citizens gave up on trying to revive their hometown. Their hatred towards the Guardian Angels became stronger.




*Guardian Angels: The group name for the good guys, which was named in Part 1, chapter 4. For those who remembered something was disbanded, it was in Part 1, Chapter 19. It was the Paladins that was disbanded, the group that was fighting the TenterLion before the Guardian Angels joined the battle. Even I forgot which was disbanded ._.

Chapter 7 - Operation Mass Capture @ 6:52 PM

Bakaeep and Soul froze in their positions. They heard a loud crashing sound from the room beside theirs. Immediately, they went back to trying to free Chio. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break or split open the bars.

They heard footsteps closing in to their room. Seconds later, voices. Then another crash. This time, it was the door from the opposite side. Right after that, it was quiet outside.

"You think they are gone...?" Bakaeep asked.

"I doubt so.." Soul replied.

Suddenly, Chio groaned and moved a little.

"Chio!" Bakaeep shouted. Soul immediately placed her hands over her mouth.

"Keep quiet!"

Chio's eyes opened a little, and closed straight away. Right at this moment, they heard the door knob turning. The door wouldn't open, as they had locked it. Seconds later, the door knob stopped moving, and a shot was fired. The doorknob along with the lock was damaged, and the door just swung open.

Sei walked in with Para.

"That's the end of the line." Sei said as he pointed his gun at Bakaeep's head.

Soul placed her fingers secretly into the small pocket on ther side of her coat. She quickly took out a small knife, lifted her hands and prepared to toss it at Sei. But Soul froze in position. She couldn't move. The knife was immediately shot out of her hands. Her eyes immediately went to Para, who had used a Skunk Pouch without her knowledge.

This time, Sei was holding a second gun, which was smoking away. The target of the second gun, Soul's head. "Don't try anything funny..."

Both Bakaeep and Soul are immobilised. They couldn't even struggle. The effect of the Skunk Pouch was several times stronger than Veraca's. All of a sudden, they both felt a sudden sting on their arm.

The effect of Para's Skunk Pouch wore off. They turned around to find a small knife in their arm, with Lolli behind them. They felt weaker and weaker. Even without the Skunk Pouch, they could hardly fight back.

"Poison Assault...?" Soul muttered weakly. Seconds later, they both fell to the ground, unconcious.

Sei turned to the Inventors and Explorers. "Bring them away, and fix these doors!"

With that, the three of them left the area, leaving everything to the Inventors and the Explorers. Bakaeep and Soul were moved to the room's with their names, and placed in the capsules.

Meanwhile, in Megalopolis Monster Guild, everyone was taking turns taking care of Rwinna. She was still unconcious, tossing and turning in her bed. She has a high fever which wouldn't go away.

Two days later, Rwinna's condition didn't get any better. Sighing, Liange walked out of the room to get some water. As she approached the kitchen, she heard the sound of breaking glass from Rwinna's room. She dashed back and to her surprise, Rwinna was no longer in her bed. Liange looked out of the window, but saw no one suspicious.

Outside, in the SouthEast Forest, HornedBull was trying to master his new skill. He struck a huge tree infront of him. The tree split into two halves, revealing the hidden Beta. Of course, HornedBull mistook her as Aurora. Alpha suddenly appeared behind HornedBull, and used an UpperCut. The force sent him flying, unable to move. Alpha then appeared above him, and sent him crashing back to the ground with a Tetra Punch.

"Operation Mass Capture is almost complete," Alpha said. "Now we have... Five more left."

"Yup. Tykro, Liange, Angii, Veraca and Tuvis. But no one has heard from Tuvis in a long time. Wonder where we can find him..."

"It doesn't matter. We will do what we can."

Suddenly, there was a beeping sound. Alpha pulled out a Portable Port AD. "Message from the boss. Operation Mass Capture is to be placed on hold. We are to return. He will be doing something, and wants us to be there."

"Okay. Let's go."

With a press of a button, the two teleported back to their hideout.

They entered an observertory at the top of the building. They were greeted by Lolli and Para at the entrance.

"Welcome back." Yomi said. "Now, you shall witness the most interesting thing in the world!"

Chapter 6 - Three more People @ 7:20 PM

Bakaeep turned around, to her surprise, it was Soul.

"What's going on...? Where is this place?" Bakaeep asked.

"I don't know... I was at the Tapasco Mines with Rwinna, and we met Chio and Aurora. Probably imposters. We fought a little, and i was knocked out. When I woke up, I found myself in giant capsule. I forced myself out, and I'm looking for a way out."

"I see..."

Suddenly, from the door at the entrance of the hallway, they heard fast footsteps. "They're in there! Get them!"

"Hide!" Soul whispered.

The two dashed in to the middle room, and locked the door. The jammed the door by stacking the chairs against the doorknob. They looked around the room, and Soul just froze on the spot.

"What's wrong...?"

"This room...! I came from this room!"

Indeed, one of the capsules was broken. Glass and some liquid from the capsule were all over the floor, with footprints leading to left of the two doors at the other end of the room. Just then, they heard the people outside trying to force open the door.

"Let's go, the right door!"

They dashed through the door, heading out. At this moment, gun shots were heard outside. The lock was blown off the door, and it was easily pushed open. A Cyber Hunter walked into the room, holding a gun in each hand. Smoke were coming out of the barrel. He walked in and surveyed the area.

"Go the the left door, Group A. Group B, follow me through the right door! Move, move, move!"

He ran through the room, behind him was two groups of Inventors. They split up, and went through each door.

Bakaeep and Soul emerged in another hallway. This time, there were loads of doors. The ran through the hallway, when something on the door caught their attention.

"Chio"

"Aurora"

"Soul"

"Rwinna"

And so on. It was the names of everyone on each door. Then entered the room with their own names, but it was empty. Just a cell, and a capsule. Then they entered the door with Chio's name. To their surprise, they saw Chio sitting at one corner of the cell, not moving at all. They dashed towards the cell, and tried to break open the bars.

Outside, the Cyber Hunter entered the hallway. He was greeted by two person. A Diva and a Hunter Lord.

"What did you lose this time, SeiMizu?" the Hunter Lord asked.

"Call me Sei will do. And it's none of your business..."

"Third room on the left. You will find what you have lost there," the Diva said.

"Thanks, Para." Sei replied.

He walked towards the room, and positioned himself right outside, together with the several Inventors.

I signalled to one of the Inventors to knock the door down.

One.... Two.... Three! The Inventor kicked the door off it's hinches, and it crashed to the ground creating a large cloud of dust.

"Don't move!" Sei shouted.

Chapter 5 - Accidental Infiltration @ 5:34 PM

Yomi sat in his big chair in the middle of the dark room and he started questioning Alpha and Beta, after they had returned. "Why is there only one...?"

"My apologies," Alpha said. "The two Thief Masters had reinforcements, and we had to retreat."

"You could have defeated them anyway..." Yomi said, eyeing them suspiciously. "I expect you to finish this job before you rest. I want you to set off as soon as possible, and bring her here!"

"Yes sir!" Alpha and Beta said, and left the room.

At this point of time, Bakaeep got closer and closer to the building. She advanced carefully, just in case there are traps around. About 10 kilometres away, she had to stop to rest. She leaned against a tall tree and started catching her breath.

Suddenly, a few minutes later, a giant boulder infront of her started to shake. Bakaeep ducked behind a tree, and watched. The boulder slid to the side, revealing a passageway. Alpha and Beta then emerged. But of course, Bakaeep still didn't know who they are.

The two walked forward, and to avoid being seen, Bakaeep started walking around the tree. Suddenly, Alpha stopped and looked towards Bakaeep's direction. Bakaeep stood still, scared to move. She had stepped and a few branches and dead leaves, giving off some snapping and crushing sound.

Alpha walked towards the tree, going to investigate. Before he reached, Beta grabbed her on the shoulders. "Stop wasting time. We've got work to do..."

Alpha walked away, but she was still surveying the area carefully. Finally, she stopped and sped off into the distance with Beta. Bakaeep sat on the ground, giving off a sigh of relief. She then returned to the boulder, but was already back in its original location.

She pushed the boulder with all her might, but the boulder wouldn't budge. Countless efforts proved to be in vain. Finally, she tried moving it with her spells, but it still didn't work. After walking around for days, her spells just didn't have the power to crush or move the rock.

Bakaeep moved back, but tripped over something. She dug out some of the soil and noticed there were metal tracks for the boulder to slide on. In between the tracks was a red handle. She gave it a pull, and the boulder slid open.

She entered the passageway, and followed the winding hallway. There were many rooms on each side, but were mostly empty. Only some room had several boxes and crates. Finally, after walking for an hour, she reached a flight of stairs. "Up or down...?" she thought.

From the bottom, she heard a lot of sounds. Metal clanking, and some static. She ventured downwards. The hallway wasn't very long, and there was only three rooms at the end of the hallway.

She peeked into the left room and noticed it was a storeroom of weapons. She noticed someone at the back of the room. In the room on the right, there were machines and computers. Finally, she walked to the last room at the end of the hall. As she was about to turn the doorknob, she felt someone's hand on her shoulder.

"What are you doing here...?!"
