"Sparky? Sparkyyyyy! Wake up!"
"Just a little while longer....."
Sparky tossed and turned over towards the wall as he said that. Nevertheless, the voice continued to pester him up.
"Heyyy! Sparkyyyy!"
"mmmm... im... up..."
The owner of the voice continued to shake him while calling out to him. Soon, the door was slammed open and a booming voice followed.
"SPARKKKKK! WAKE! UPPPPPPP!!!!"
It was Scar. He went over to his bed and splashed a bucket of water onto Sparky's face making Sparky jump out of his bed instantly. It was then he noticed Mae laughing silently at the corner of the room while Scar had already ran out in laughter.
"Scar... After I take a shower and change out of this mess.. you. are. doomed," thought Sparky ferociously in his mind. Before he headed over to the shower room, Mae told him to head towards the lobby. Sparky nodded and walked away, slightly ashamed as he realised that Mae witness that side of him.

Sparky turned on the shower to wash himself up. "What is this feeling I have towards Mae... hm.... Usually I wouldn't feel a thing when others saw me like this but when it comes to Mae.... AHHHHHH!" thought Sparky in his mind as he hit the wall repeatedly.
"Maybe I should ask Scar?"
"No wait! Thats a horrible idea!"
"How about Ariton? No no no, he would probably just laugh it off."
Sparky thought about countless conversation that would happen as he asked Scar or Ariton. He could picture their facial expressions and how awkward things would be. With that, he decided to keep it to himself.

After he was done, he got dressed and headed over to the lobby. Immediately, he headed over to Scar and whacked at the back of his head with his fist. In spite of that, Scar laughed uncontrollably as he saw Sparky's disturbed and embarrassed face. Scar wiped of the tears of laughter at the edge of his eyes as Sparky finally stopped.
"Ahem!" said Ariton as he walked over to them.
"I'd call you two out to discuss about the recent mission you had went on," said Ariton. " The Carnotaurus had recently been spotted at the outskirts of the Azalia Kingdom, nearby a village. We all know that the mission we execute and the creatures we see should be kept as a secret to protect everyone in this kingdom. Now several villagers has spotted this fearful creature and began to make a havoc around the entire village," continued Ariton.
Scar and Sparky nodded.
"And..? Now that it had been spotted.. what could we do?" asked Scar.
"Can't we just erase that part of their memory or something?" said Sparky in a naive manner. Scar looked at him in a face filled with questions and said, "There no way tha-"
"Exactly! We could do that!" replied Ariton. Scar looked at him, very confused and looked at Sparky who was feeling smug and looking back at him, shrugging.
"I will follow both of you in your next mission to hunt this beast down. The mission would be timed at around 6:30 in the evening. That is the predicted time when the beast would leave out of the shadow of the forests. The reason the Carnotaurus lurks around there is probably to devour the villagers who live there," mentioned Ariton.
"6:30.... WAIT SO I STILL HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL?" asked Sparky.
"Yep of couse! I doubt you will need to shower as you would be sweating a lot on the mission. So just change out of your uniform and come towards the lobby as quick as possible. We will have a quick brief first before we commence," replied Ariton without a second of delay.
"Whyyyyyyy!" questioned Sparky while Scar laughed at him once again.
The next day came as swiftly as the wind. Sparky was at his seat, playing with his mechanical pencil. He looked at the clock which was counting down towards the end of school constantly.
*Tick* *Tock* *Tick* *Tock*
"Sparky! Get up and answer question 3 in your textbook pertaining to the text!" said the teacher as he noticed Sparky's absent mind. Sparky stood up instantly while holding his textbook.
"Umm....! This.. umm..." said Sparky while stuttering from words to words till Mae pointed the answer to him.
"Sherlock lives in 221b Baker Street, London!" said Sparky out loud. "Very well," said the teacher before asking Sparky to sit down. After a couple of minutes, the bell went off. He told Mae about the mission and thus went out of the school before her. Quickly, Sparky ran out of the school compound and was teleported towards the HQ.
After changing he went towards the lobby where Scar and Ariton was waiting. "Took you long enough!" said Scar while waving towards Sparky. "I have to ask both of you to leave towards the village first as I got some urgent matters to attend. I will catch up to you in about an hour... So at about 7:35. I have sent the necessary details towards the bracelet of yours." said Ariton.
Sparky and Scar looked at each other and nodded. "Let's go!" said Sparky as they headed over to the floating platform before getting teleported away.
*Squeak*
Ariton opened the door to Veronica's office. "What are you doing?" questioned Ariton towards Veronica who is working on some documents at her desk. "Working on some upgrades for the bracelet... I wonder if this would work...." said Veronica.
"Any information about the blue rock like object that was on Mae's neck?" asked Ariton. Veronica shook her head. "Rather than the object itself, the magic circles around it is hard to break through," said Veronica.
"Magic circles?"
"Yep, we placed the object in a machine to extract informations about its origins and much more but out of a sudden, magic circles appeared and broke down the entire machine. So our only was is to break through those magic circles..."
"This is gonna take a while isnt it?"
"Pretty much"
"Well, I'd better get going! Tell me about the upgrades next time!" said Ariton before leaving.
On the other hand, Sparky and Scar arrived at their destination. Looking around, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary. With that, they decided to walk around the village and ask about the sightings of creature.
