Chapter 25 - Escaping the Circus

Zemeki is keeping pace with the juggler and an ant clown hops toward him, turns into a ball and now he's juggling three. He looks at the juggler who is also juggling 3 but she then spikes her third into Zemeki's feet, but he jumped dodging the impact. Zemeki struggles to land back on the large ball and slides off where he gets jumped by the clowns. The ball the Juggler threw bounced back into her hand as she continued to juggle them. The clowns tear into his side "ah" yelled Zemeki "try looking behind you". "Like I would fall for..." the ball is kicked out from underneath her and she gets swarmed by the clowns. She gets back onto the ball bleeding and the clowns hold the quilt in place as she pelts balls at it.

Ramui reappears without the elephant "that shit's wild" and punches the monkeys head clean off. The alligator is able to detect the ancient demonic energy from the punch and backs off. The Ringmaster prepares to whip Ramui but Joey Wheeler drives into him from behind "now's ya chance". This caught the Ringmaster off guard as he thought he was an ordinary motorcycle but it also caught Ramui by surprise as he backed off instead of using the opening. "What are you doing get them" spoke RM. The guy on the alligator claps his hands with his fingers touching the opposite palm a vortex of empty space forms behind Joey and he gets pulled back by the air current. "I don't know how durable Joey is" thought Ramui.

An ant clown spots Zemeki rolling down the halls "Waaa haha ho" it runs clumsily toward the ball room "I need more time" he teleports his quilt back into his hand and throws it at the clown sticking it to the ground. "Where did he run off to?" asked the Juggler. A clown jumps at each of the combatants again making it 4 balls now. He keeps moving until he finds a large spherical object steadily approaching. "Is it another enemy" thought Zemeki "I don't need this". He tries to roll around it but it stops right next to him, then begins following him when he moves past it. "Is it an enemy?"

Ramui approaches and the alligator head expands while shooting it's neck out voring him. "Oh well" stated RM "It was nice knowing him, but no one escapes Floydah's maw". Ramui escapes Floydah's maw causing the gator to explode into peices. "Nani, he escaped, thats the same gator that's Foma and Mana levels broke my scaler" thought RM. "I surrender" he said holding a white flag. Ramui places his hand on him shoulder "I could always use a fresh perspective" the Ring Master struggles to escape as his shoulder begins burning with green smoke. Aisha makes it back to the entrance as Ramui punches a whole though RM's chest. "I was using that" thought Ramui. "It's getting worse" he said.

The metallic sphere continues to follow Zemeki until Keem and some ant clowns catch up. "What are you doing?" asked Keem as Zemeki continues to juggle what is now 6 balls. "What do you think?, It's an ability" "That's slowing you down" responded Keem "And we need to leave now or end up who knows where. We'd definitely miss the tournament aswell". "Got it" Zemeki throws the quilt on the ground to stick to the feet of the clowns that try to walk through and runs. Zemeki and Keem meet up with Ramui and Aisha and they are about to leave with there 5th member, Elephante.

When the group arrives back at the tournament site they can't find Ramui, instead finding a note suspended in Joey's cargo hold ability that reads. Zemeki finds and reads the note aloud "Sorry I can't make it, I'm afraid I can no longer stave off Sorori. I will be searching for a skilled doctor named Dr. Harii, my sources so far indicate he's chilling in Zeino. If everything goes according to plan you will find me in a new body. If it doesn't though, don't come near me unless you plan to kill me. Anyways give these to An before her fights" He finds a pill bottle tied to the back of the note.

Fonimu states over a mic "Alrighty, let's get these teams in place and start the tournament". "By any chance would you reconsider joining our team?" Aisha asked Keem. "it does require 5... I suppose" "It's fine" stated Zemeki "I have a plan" "Winning this is my burden to carry" he thought.
