"Where are we going?"
[Naraku]
"Well I'm not sure if it is the right spot but I saw a place up the hill by the Crystal Maze. It seemed to be secluded from the rest of the Carnival."
[Twilight]
"It could be housing something?"
[Naraku]
"You mean the Ringleader's and the Attraction Heads homes?"
[The Nurse]
"If that's what those buildings up top are then sure."
[Twilight]
"Yes it is."
[The Doctor, getting ready to strap Naraku into the mobile bed]
"What about Naraku, should we leave him at the entrance or a safer area at least."
[Obitiga]
"We could but… "
[Twilight, stopping abruptly]
Just as Twilight was about to finish his sentence, the unconscious Naraku began to moan and move. Waking up to a room full of people he was startled. With alarms blaring and blurriness in his eyes he prepares himself for combat.
"Where AM I!?"
[Naraku, stumbling out of bed]
"You're in the medical tent."
[Crystal, trying to calm Naraku down]
"Crystal?! Is that you, you're okay?"
[Naraku, quelling his rage]
"What happened, did we defeat Weiso, is Obitiga okay, what happened to Iago's body??? HOW DID YOU ESCAPE!! Most especially WHAT IS THAT ALARM!!"
[Naraku, clenching his hands over his ears]
"We can catch you up on everything on the way, go ahead and get changed." [Twilight, tossing his clothes at him]
A few minutes pass as Naraku puts his clothes on, his eyes clearing up and becoming more visible, the group begins to discuss the game plan. Suddenly they are interrupted by a stranger.
"Out of you four, is one of you named Twilight?"
[Stranger]
"Yes?"
[Twilight, warry]
"Great, then you are the one's I'm looking for."
[Stranger]
"Looking for?"
[The Team, as they surrounding Twilight]
"Do not worry you are not in any danger, I just came to leave a message."
[Stranger]
"Message?"
[Twilight]
"I'm the Fortune Teller of this park, I have been here for a few years. I've been waiting for this day to come. A few words were given to me for those of you here.
Do not fear Kingston as though he may be wild, he is Tamed. Do not trust the Cannibal as he feeds off the urges of those who visit. Lastly the leader is nothing but an illusion, the truth won't be revealed until the war. What does that mean?"
[The Fortune Teller, as she recites]
"It is what I heard, I am unable to reveal more. However, I can give you this."
[Fortune Teller, handing over a pair of fingerless gloves]
"I am unsure when you will need them but I also heard from the voice that you will be in need. The stranger who delivered them left no name. I am sorry." [Fortune Teller, Placing a pair of gloves in the hands of Obitiga]
The Fortune Teller begins to leave.
"Before I go, I want you to know, he was a better man to this world than he is now. He tried his best, and once had love. Though the darkness consumed him, please do not hate that man for what he has become."
[Fortune Teller , as she fully leaves the tent]
"What do you think that was all about?"
[Obitiga, putting the gloves down on the table]
"I'm not sure, but those gloves. Are they special to any of you?"
[Twilight, picking up the gloves]
"Should we toss them for you?"
[The Nurse]
"No, I'll hold on to them for now like she said. I'm not sure why but it seems wrong to just throw them away."
[Twilight, concerned]
After putting the gloves away the team finishes up their discussion. Still wondering what the Fortune Tellers message was all about the beginning to head out. With The Doctor and Nurse already gone, and supplies given to prepare for battle they went in with a leveled head. Arriving back near the entrance of the Carnival, a slow ascend was made up to the residency area. The alarms had stopped a long time ago, leaving nothing but the quiet hum of the Carnival equipment.
"Should we split up here?"
[Obitiga, As they arrive at the front of the residency area]
"If we split up, aren't we at a disadvantage?"
[Crystal]
"Yes we might be, if I was keeping track right, there were five people at the entrance. I'm not sure of the look of all of them but the Clown that attacked me was definitely one."
[Twilight]
"Weiso was also one."
[Crystal]
"So that leaves two more people other than the Ringleader."
[Naraku]
"I don't think it would be safe to split up then, a three versus one could occur and these guys are not people we can take lightly."
[Twilight]
"So which way should we go first?"
[Obitiga]
There were three main buildings; the one to the right looked as though it had the least amount of floors or space to search. It seemed to be more of a warehouse than it did a resident living area. While to the left was a smaller building with mostly windows. To the team it seemed more of the vibe of a housing facility.
The team decides to try the area to the left first. Entering the building there was nothing but silence. Boom, the door slammed behind them echoing throughout the area.
"Do you think it's abandoned?"
[Crystal]
Is it me or is it too quiet in here for there to be people hiding don't you think?
[Obitiga]
"You could say that.."
[Stranger's voice, echoing]
The team is a bit startled, unable to identify where the voice came back they responded back.
"Well I guess we were wrong either way then."
[Obitiga]
"Yes, but don't worry I'm not here to fight."
[Stranger's Voice, echoing]
"How can we trust you are being truthful? Why don't you show us your face first?"
[Naraku]
"I can't show you my face but I can show you something else. One of my delicious meals, I just prepared."
[Stranger's Voice, echoing]
"Meals?"
[Twilight, confused]
The sound of something speeding through the air begins to be heard. Suddenly a loud thump is made in the middle of the group, with the dust settling you come to see a plate. From a distance nothing could be said but it looked like a regular Birion but dead. A Birion being a small type of rabbit. It was arranged on the plate as though a master chief had made it.
"Go ahead, enjoy, the meal is on me."
[Stranger's Voice, echoing]
