[9/20/19, 1st POV]] Turns out our prize was typical loot you receive from MMORPGs (i play a lot of video games). Anyway turns out that there are less fish than normal due to overfishing from normal humans. Still Atlantis pretty sweet for a "fictional" city.
Anyway now its just me and my team, I have no idea where Dan and his team went. We were taken to the surface with a type of boat. Of course it was magicals so we were taken to another boat ... that was fishing.
"What are you doing in my water space?" someone yelled from aboard the boat.
"Are you guys fishing illegally?" I asked.
At that a few of them stormed our boat ... such an easy battle. We climbed up onto the boat and some people aboard began to freak out.
"Hey!" the captain shouted ."What are you guys doing here!?"
"Oh us ... well we just wanted to know if you guys..." Mark didn't finish as we were challenged to a battle.
[9/21/19] i'm going to be honest. First the illegal hunters were no problem. Secondly it feels so good to turn them into the proper authorities. Both of those kept happening (actually only two more times) so ... yeah, awesome.
After that our (cute) leader Diana sent us back to the African Savannah with no word about Dan or his team. Our goal was to scan the area for possible poacher activity.
"Always feels kinda strange to be here." Mark said.
"Well we have to complete the mission. No getting track sided, at all!" Warty stated.
"Right. Let's begin looking around." I said. Everything seemed normal until I saw ... nothing. That was strange animals should of been in the mud hole or something.
We moved along and saw animals, herbivores. A lot of them. Too many honestly. I realised that it was too many there was barely any grass. The animals kept looking for it. And then they saw us and must of thought we had food. I knew what had to be done.
[9/22/19] As much as I feel bad it turns out they were some kind of clones. Not necessarily created by the poachers. The ground is still quiet dead. That I don't understand why.
We kept going looking for more signs until a lion jumped me. Still not was expecting. Another thing that i didn't understand the lion didn't use any jutsus. My allies could. If te lion did he could've won. After his defeat he just ran off. I also didn't expect that.
Further along we found an elephant knocking down a tree ... normal enough. That was until its eyes changed color and it hurled it towards us. Mark used his shield ability to stop us from being hit.
In the light wsaw it had a mechanic suit like Warty & Tiger once did. It approached us and began a battle. There were so many things that showed it was male. Since this is an MMORPG in real life. I noticed its level and it was way higher than our own. That and it summoned a tree it threw it at us. We all shouted in pain, loudly. It all went dark... we lost the battle. We woke up in the UAKD.
[9/27/19, 3rd POV] "Oh thank the deities. All of you have woken up." Raylee exclaimed.
"What happened?" Lighting asked touching his forehead.
"That elephant almost killed you guys. Luckily Diana was monitoring you otherwise it could of been game over." Dan said.
"Hey Dan where have you been?" Mark asked.
"That's irrelevant. Good thing you have mostly have been healed from your wounds. Tomorrow you'll probably be able to return and rematch the elephant with all the XP you've been given."
The Magicals rested until the next day. Then Diana opened the portal allowing them to return to be able to have a rematch against the elephant.
Lightning now had a new ability to start a battle off: Lightning Dice n' Slash where he moves fast with his sword all electrically charged slicing the opponent multiple times. Lutia could now use Snow Al which spawns a Snow Al that stays like a clone.
[9/28/19, 1st POV] That elephant, despite being mostly mechanic it disappeared after a hard fought and won battle. Strange ... Ah well not the strangest thing that happened. We are stronger together than alone. That's what Lightning says.
Then suddenly Magical Bear using some new eye power he had unlocked (somehow) he noticed an evil presence on the savannah heading towards us, fast. None of us could process that before it hit us. At first it seemed like an invisible dust storm. Next all went dark.
We awoke not in the UAKD but in the middle of a void, a dark one. Some lights with no source appeared and shown light on us and some other human.
"Remember me, Magical Bear." she said I felt like I'd seen her on the savannah. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ciana Afia. I was there when you were launched in the forest. We can't let you continue your journey. I will now begin to torcher you. Good luck surviving let alone breaking out." At that her weird eyes surrounded us.
[9/29/19, 1st POV] I recognize that human from before but her eyes were different. Her eyes ... they seemed to be everywhere. How ... huh...
"Son one of the ability you inherited from me is the ability to cast and break illusions." my mother said ,"I'll cast a really weak one. Remember to use you illu-eyes."
I was in a void and my mom appeared. She said to believe in myself. After about a minute I switched from my normal eyes to my illu-eyes. I shouted and the illusion broke and I was back in the real world.
"Oh Mark, I am so proud of you." she said. We hugged.
In the void we were being poked with swords by shadow people. 'Believe ... Believe .. Rraaaw..' I shouted as my illu-eyes activated. At first nothing happened then the eyes spinning around us changed to mine. The shawdon people disappeared. It was dark. Then there were cracks, the illusion broke.
We were all back in reality. Ciana realising what had just happened suddenly disappeared. The others were confused so i told them the whole story.
[10/04/19] After telling them the whole story they thanked me & congratulated me. We continued our patrol of the savannah. Nothing except some clone ... oh right mekats.
Later in the day Diana contacted us and said ,"It seems I can't detect any more problems. However there is a problem in a place called Australia. You can call it the outback because it's like the savannah. I'll send you there immediately with supplies. May the deities be with you."
Just like she said we were transported to 'the outback'. the ground was red-ish, there was a lack of trees, holes in the ground, and waterholes. As soon as I finished looking around and Lightning looking at a 'book' there was some animals heading towards us 'not again' I thought. The dingos, as Lightning said, attacked us.
Tougher than previous enemies but overall not that hard. We gained, an ally in the process so good result.
Lightning, Warty, Denny, Lutia, & I set up "camp" for a while so we could regain strength. 'A new environment, this is epic!'
[10/05/19, 3rd POV] All five of Lightning's team rested at the camp they set up. Afterward they headed out. The Australian Outback looked quite standard. Only difference was there was scattered loot like everywhere.
The Magicals moved around the outback. Occasionally a stray red kangaroo approached them and battled an easily lost battle. Continuing until the Mob Boss, the strongest of the Red Kangaroos.
As tough as he was he only knocked out Denny who was revived after the battle. The Mob Boss explained how the poachers had shown up and completely broke apart the Mob. He joined as an ally on his own team. There were to find the misplaced Mob.
"So how'd you become the Mob Boss." asked Lighting.
"Simple I just beat the old boss who beat my father. Using Red Roo moves. That was a while age."
"Oh so you used powerful kicks and arm tackles." Lightning read from the book.
"Yes"
