Chapter 28 - Let Down Your Hair

(Third Person POV)

"It's really cringey, why do I need to say those words?" Celene firmly shakes her head to Rey.

"It's because you lost in the toss coin." Rey flicks again the coin in his hand to remind Celene.

"Arghh. Fine then."

"Hmm. Excuse me. I heard your conversation a while ago. If you don't mind, let me do it instead." Dina said as she looks at them with eyes full of anticipation.

Paul smacked his head. He already knew where is this going. Frea is still deep in her thoughts to notice everything around her.

Celene's eyes sparkle as she heard Dina's voluntary suggestion.

"Of course you can my dear great friend! You don't want to turn down this girl's suggestion dear Rey?" Celene grinned at Rey.

"Yes, you can. Since you want to do it yourself how could I say no? You're Dina right?" Rey said as he keeps the coin in his pocket.

"Yes. Sir Rey, I'm Dina."Dina said politely.

Rey cringed a little hearing Dina's formal answer.

"You don't need to call me with sir, just Rey is fine. You can also hold this now." Rey held out the scepter to Dina which she carefully holds.

Her eyes are really sparkling right now. 'I'm holding some magical wand. Will I also get to transform into some magical girl like power puff girl z or sailor moon?' Ah! I can't wait! This is a childhood dream of mine!

"*Ehem! You should start now Dina." Rey interrupted Dina's daydreaming.

"Ah sure." Dina positioned herself and raised the scepter high above her head." Dina took a deep breath as she closed her eyes.

'Oh. I don't want to look at this.' Paul murmur as he turned around so that he wouldn't see Dina.

Dina opened her eyes and begin doing some stunts. She puts her left hand on her waist as she waves the scepter. "Sun, moon, and earth! Sparkle, sparkle twinkling stars! Oh, hear your chosen one!" Dina said out loud as she twirls around and paused.

"I'm not really hearing this. I don't know her. I don't know her." Paul wanted to really get away now on this place. Though his friends are all shameless and crazy, but he is not! And he is the one who feels embarrassed when they do something as crazy as this.

Rey, Jess, and even Evelyn were surprised at Dina's actions.

"Wow. This young lady sure is lively." Evelyn said amused.

"Idiot," Argaux said which they all heard.

"Ahh! That's cool ate!" Louisa was the only one seems to enjoy the show and also starts copying Dina's action too.

"Um. Rey is that part of the things she needs to say?" Celene whispered to him.

"No." He simply replied back.

"Now! Oh, hear me!" Dina proceeds to her show. As she holds the scepter on both of her hands now and raised it high above her head.

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair!" As she finally said those words a bright light emerge and burst out from the scepter.

All of them covered their eyes from the blinding light. And what they saw next was not the white room anymore. They were now on a wide grassy plain area with some minimal trees all over the place. But that's not what caught their attention. It's the huge and tall tower in the middle of the place.

"Nothing happened to me? I didn't transform to anything." Dina said looking dejected.

And everyone just ignored her.

"Another tower?" Paul said. The confusion was written all over his face.

"This is now the real tower," Rey said as he unleashes his . The others too, do the same. The minimal trees suddenly started to move and have faces. They were uprooted to their places as they started to have arms and legs. Then it begins to head towards their direction.

Argaux already rushed to the tower and cut all the trees on his way.

"Let's go! We can't let that guy go ahead in the tower." Rey shouted as he brings out the witch's broom he bought from the shop. His comrades also do the same and they flew above the trees.

"What?" Dina asked stupidly as they are only the ones left there. She, Paul, the lizard prince, and Frea who has just been now become aware of the situation were looking at each other now.

"Are we going to fight these monsters?" Paul asked as he unleashes his .

"We don't need to do that." The lizard prince said. He brought out from his storage ring an item that is very familiar to the trio.

"A magic carpet!" Dina said and without further adieu, she immediately hopped on it.

"My lady?" Frea's thoughts were interrupted as the lizard stretch out his hands to assist her to step into the tower.

"Ah yes.Thank you." Frea accepted his help and also stepped on the carpet. Dina raised an eyebrow seeing this. Back to the white room, Frea were awfully quiet since then. Is she really that worried about Via and troubling her this much?

"Ah. I think I can manage to defeat this guy with my sword." Paul said as he slowly tried to distance himself. He doesn't want to ride the carpet anymore and escape but Dina immediately grabs his arm as she pulls him in.

And with that as soon as they all onboard, the carpet flew with its incredible speed again. "Ahhh!" This time only the piercing scream of Paul was heard.

(Via's POV)

"Young man how will my daughter going to be in danger?" Evelyn asked.

Rey looks at her deciding whether it is time now to tell her about this or not. But maybe it is now the right time since they finally arrived at the tower.

"Rapunzel has only a year to live. The main tower from the bureau is using her as the power source for the quest that she had. And by destroying some of the events we will be able to reduce the tower's power and save her." - J.O.E|||

The thing that we need to save Rapunzel from, is this tower itself. If we succeed this time, there will be no war that will happen on the fourth main event and no one would die too. The only problem that we need to solve is the third main event the system will give us.

*Sigh* I just really wish everything could be easily said and done. Especially now that I can't do anything.

[Astral time: 00:37:42]

Oh well, I'm not even one of the main characters and just some unknown extra who tweak some events. I will leave the rest to the real mc's of the story.

Hmm. Speaking of them. It seems they are taking so much time to get here.

Someone is already getting crazy here.

If you are wondering where I am right now. I already arrived at the top of the tower.

"WHAT IS HAPPENING?! Why are all my events are now destroyed!" Rapunzel said as she paces back and forth. Rio and Rea too were now in deep slumber to a queen-sized bed that is in this tower.

These two kids were always asleep at the most important things. What a carefree life they have.

The whole place is lighted by a torch and everything looks like a set of a normal room of medieval era that gives you a Gothic feeling. The walls have a lime plaster color where there are portraits hanging around. There is also a fireplace on the right side and a red sofa and table. Then the bed is placed in the middle. Though there are lots of things here, it didn't look much cramped since the place is huge.

"This is all that dog's fault! I can't even contact the bureau right now!" She screamed again and then look at the two kids.

"Everything is going to be fine as long as my son and daughter are with me right now," Rapunzel said as she took a seat on the left side of the bed beside Rea.

I just shook my head in this scene. Did she really think those two are her kids? Ah right. The tower is absorbing her life essence so some of her memories have already got lost. It is already a matter of time before she would become an emotionless and lifeless puppet of this tower that has only one focus and that is to manage the quests.

And about her real kids...

*Boogsh*

*Crash* The glasses of the only window of this tower shattered as someone entered forcefully and landed in front of us coolly.

Oh. As expected his the first one to arrived here. And no matter what he seems to enjoy having a grand entrance.

"I'm going to end you now," Argaux said as he pointed his to Rapunzel.

"You! How do you get h..."

"Ahhh!" Rapunzel didn't get to finish her sentence when someone also got crashed in this place.

*Boogsh!*

As the smoke clears from the debris. It showed Frea, Dina, the lizard, and Paul who is now doing his business which is vomiting in the corner.

"Wow! It is really faster than the witch broomstick!" Dina said enthusiastically.

Then soon Rey and his group finally arrived too.

Now the whole gang was finally here.

It seems the final showdown for this event will now begin.
