Atlas was woken up by a blow to his gut and he looked at the frowning face of Dax.
"I'm hungry." he told
Atlas groaned, "Cook."
"The trial started at midnight and we arrive at eleven in the evening yesterday." Dax spat out
Atlas asked, "You were teleported after you finished cooking...."
He quietly woke up the other members and Dax's stomach growled some more. Atlas looked at the trial hoping for something easy that doesn't have beasts. He looked at the screen with a small smile.
Third Trial: Shooting
Kill all the moving targets
[ CrazedFan: Aren't the trials getting boring?
Twotailed: low trails are usually like this the first trial was a fluke because of the disadvantage.
Azure23: DON'T FORGET TODAY IS THE AUDIENCE CHOSEN CHALLENGE!!!]
The fans discussed happily among themselves.
Blake smiled, "Can you tell us about the trial?"
[ Quill's Supporter: No! It's a surprise.]
The fans laughed as Blake clicked his tongue in annoyance. Atlas quickly completed the trial and they returned home. After freshening up, Atlas marched into the kitchen like a man on a mission and the rest got seated on the table.
"What should we do while we wait for the challenge?" Noah wondered
Atlas dropped down several dozens of plates filled with brunch and gave a single large plate to Quill.
Quill frowned, "How do you guys eat so much?"
"How do you manage so little?" Blake smiled "Not easy to answer is it?"
The audience chosen challenge is beginning
"Huh?" Dax reacted holing the bacon sandwich
Dax and the group were teleported to a new location with the table and saw the other Factions with their various members. The other Factions looked at them with a strange look maybe it was the fact they still eating breakfast leisurely savoring their meal.
Xavier walked over with a smile and Atlas could finally get a proper look of him. Grey-silver eyes with slicked back brown hair paired with light green tips. He wore a pure white suit with a matching top hat and gloves.
"How have you been?" He smiled
They stopped mid chew and wondered who this suspicious well dressed was. Dax tapped the table with a sausage in his mouth for them to finish. They frowned and sped up the quest to satisfy their stomachs.
The began the live stream
"Hello everyone." Ethan greeted "Seems the challenge is about to start."
After a few minutes, screens appeared in from of everyone:
Audience challenge: Escape!
Your group came to South Ocean Amusement Park to unwind, The exits suddenly shut and something eerie is going on every few minutes someone disappears. Save yourself before you're next
"Ohhh." Dax exclaimed
Another screen appeared:
The reward for the first to complete will be: two days free of trials
"We must get this or I work all of you to the bone marrow!" Dax frowned
Atlas answered, "You should work on your pep talks."
Xavier coughed to gain their drifting attention and they looked at him with irritation. Their gaze clearly meant: Why are you still here?
"I would like us to work together." Xavier offered
Dax answered, "Not happening!"
"We'll give up the reward." Xavier told
They paused and wondered why anyone in their right senses would do that. Dax stared at Xavier while his members discussed among themselves.
"Why are you doing this?" Dax asked
Xavier smiled, "I'm a fan and I hope to get to know you better. Although it's not free, you'll need to agree, no string attached to one think in the near future."
Dax looked at his members and they nodded. Xavier stretched out his hand to Dax but Atlas grabbed it tightly.
"To harmonious cooperation." Atlas frowned
Dax shouted, "Shall we ride the roller coaster?!"
He dragged Quill forward and the others followed after them at a leisurely pace. Dax found the power was out and took out a brochure.
"If I was a generator where would I be?" Dax wondered
A woman suggested, "The warehouse or hall of mirrors seems like the best place."
He raised his eyes and was stunned for a moment, an elf. Her golden hair was cut to reach shoulder level and her green eyes stared back at him while she smiled. Dax eyes returned to the map on the brochure.
"Seems possible but our luck is rotten." Dax sighed "I want to ride it now."
Blake smiled, "We could use Quill..."
The Crazed members looked at Quill and the teenager knew the thoughts that passed thorough their minds. When he tried to run Noah grabbed him and threw him over his shoulder.
"Let's have some fun." Dax smiled
Quill yelled, "LET GO! I AM NOT A PORTABLE BATTERY, I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW-"
"I'm a very powerful mage." they finished for him
Blake smirked, "Give it a jump start it up, powerful mage."
Quill sent a current of powerful electricity into the machines nearby. The lights of the entire amusement park flickered for moments until they were fully on and all ride operational. Wonderland dragged by their fast pace and found themselves boarded on the roller coaster as it went up.
"What just happened?" Fey, the elf asked
Maxwell sighed, "We're going up."
They heard a united sigh of frustration from the Crazed members. Below the ride was a two headed lizard and the liquid dripping of its body corroded the metal but persisted in climbing. A screen flashed in front of them:
Congratulations you have found out the reason for the disappearances
Welcome to the Haunted Amusement Park
Due to your discovery monsters and ghosts are enraged. They attack power increases by 10% , defense decreases by 20% and multiplication increases by 38%
"WE SHOULD GET OFF!" Maxwell yelled struggled with his belt and safety guard
Dax and his group stayed seated. The ride finally peaked, went down and Ethan removed his belt and safety guard. He gripped onto the ride so he was blown off and transformed in his mantis form.
Ethan jumped forward sliced down the lizard, stabbing his legs into the ride and his body crouched low. They several legless creature floating toward them and more ghostly creatures crept out of the shadows. A screen appeared in front of everyone.
The roller coaster rose upside down and Ethan released his grip. The ride quickly spun into three hoops, curved to the left and the mantis dropped back onto it. He swiped at the ghosts but his attack passed through it.
"USE MAGIC!!" Blake yelled looking through his screen
The ride abruptly stopped, Ethan was jerked forward and his attack missed. The ice beam struck down the teacups ride and he prepared another spell.
The ride plunged straight down, the icicles went up into the sky and Ethan lost his grip. He was flailed in the air as returned to human form, the roller coaster curled left and Ethan grabbed onto it. He slammed into the metal.
"Oh." the Wonderland exclaimed unconsciously
Madison opened her mouth to say something but Ethan jumped into the front toward his other members. Blakes exclaimed how only magical attacks word on ghosts and how ineffective poisons was.
"Want to tap out?" Blake offered
Ethan shook his head, "I'm on it, just enjoy the ride."
The ride was began to spiral upward in a series of circles and several ghost were shrieking loudly at them. Ethan eyes filled with determination and killing intent.
"Nothing escapes my grasp." Ethan said as jumped up
