Donovan's arms turned green, his height increased, his weight increased, and his face grew an elephant's trunk.
In an instant, he now looked like one of them. His clothes have changed as well. This is the Disguise ability.
Feels weird, but this should work.
He got up and walked out of the alley. He first entered a "restaurant," at least that's what he thinks it is, and took a seat to examine his surroundings, specifically how they talk. The restaurant's name was in a different language. Using his Decipher ability, it translated to: Kaal Big Belly.
"Na to hu wan?" Said the alien behind the counter.
Na to hu wan? I see, the language here is different. I mean, that's to be expected.
Upon hearing those words, he activated his Disguise ability once again. He cleared his throat, and silently said the word, 'Hello,' but what escaped his mouth was, "Elpo."
Elpo... Hello is "Elpo" here.
This was one of the abilities of the Disguise ability. It could immediately copy the language used by a different race, making everything you say into that language, and you'll immediately understand what they say to you in that language.
After acquiring their language, Donovan exited the restaurant and planned to head to a library, or at least somewhere he can get information from. He wanted to know more about this world, what its people are called, and most importantly, where Celestial Smugglers is located.
...
Sylvia took a photo of a "book" she stumbled upon.
It's in an entirely different language. I'll send this to Donovan, and I'll let him use the Decipher ability. Sigh, I should really go learn Decipher.
...
Sasha had already activated her Disguise ability, and she was conversing with three aliens.
Sasha did a "smile," and said, "Tyer il qa obhavion hawed Veveskial Kluggers? To jaly og hu lbow?" What she just said translates to: Where is the organization called Celestial Smugglers? Do any of you know?
"Vi hut ver jer" Said the alien in front of her, and they pointed to a restaurant behind her. In English, it translates to: It's just over there.
Sasha thanked them, and walked towards the restaurant. She used her Decipher ability on the restaurant's name.
Kaal Big Belly. What a strange name.
She entered the restaurant, conversed for a while, and confirmed that underneath this restaurant was the base for Celestial Smugglers. She thought of another problem, Why are they just telling me the location? Isn't it supposed to be a secret?
She went in front of the restrooms, but she didn't know which was the Women's Restroom, and plus, she didn't even know the gender of the disguise she had taken.
She walked out, entered an alley, and took out her phone to send a message to Donovan and Sylvia, 'I found Celestial Smugglers. It's in a restaurant called Kaal Big Belly.'
...
Donovan, who was searching for a library, sighed. He had just gone there, and he wondered how Sasha already found it.
She couldn't have asked for it, right? I mean, evil organizations are a secret, which is why I refrained from asking anyone about it... She must've took someone hostage and asked for it, or she must've disguised herself as a member and she's already entered...
Donovan shook his head, and turned around, going back to Kaal Big Belly.
...
Sylvia was already asking for the location of Kaal Big Belly in her disguise, and upon obtaining the location, she walked away.
...
The three informed each other what their disguise looked like, and they had already chosen a table. Sasha sat beside Sylvia, and Donovan sat across them. Sasha had already fixed Donovan's broken hand that was stepped on by an alien earlier.
They conversed through texts.
Donovan started first, 'How do we start?'
'Easy. You plant a bomb, blowing the entire place up!' Sasha went second.
'No, that'll hurt the civilians, and we don't even know who are the members and non-members. It's best we first enter their base of operations, which is underneath this restaurant. Then, I'll plant a bomb underneath. Sylvia, you're in charge of taking photos. Sasha, just protect Sylvia.' Texted Donovan.
'That's it? That's the plan? They won't let us plant that bomb easily. And plus, they have weapons made from Annihilith crystals, remember? We don't know how technologically-advanced this world is, and their weapons could easily destroy our defenses. It's best we call for reinforcements.' Sasha said through text.
'Okay. Sylvia, let's just call your other team members: Paul, Vi, or Harold. I'm sure they're already wide awake.' Donovan said through text.
"Hm, you sure? That would mean that the mission reward will be divided even more." Sylvia said, forgetting to chat through text.
"It's fine, isn't it? Besides, Sylvia, those three are team members, we'll still be benefitting." Sasha said with a serious expression.
"Oh, right, I forgot to send you this, Donovan." Sylvia said, and she sent an image to Donovan.
A page of a book? Oh, she wants me to use the Decipher ability. Let's see...
...
After a while, Donovan said to Sylvia, "Impressive find. It contains the name of this alien race, and they're called 'Hasdivians' in our language."
Sylvia hummed, delighted that she found something of great value.
Unfortunately, Hasdivians were those elephant-looking aliens. I still don't know the name of those "walking," greenish blobs of slime. As well as those terrifyingly tall ones with black skin, missing eyes, and a large mouth...
Suddenly, a "waiter" approached them, and the three immediately shut up, hid their phones, and looked at the waiter.
After ordering something on the menu, the waiter walked away, then Donovan said, "I have a plan. First, Sylvia will call for Paul, Vi, and Harold. Then, I'll infiltrate their base underground. Make sure you guys meet somewhere like an alley. Like Sasha said, planting the bomb won't be so easy. But invisibility could do the job. Once I plant the bomb, I'll send a message to let you know. That's when you come in, Sylvia. You have to take photos of their base underground, and take photos after the explosion. Sasha, Paul, Vi, and Harold will be in charge of protecting Sylvia while she takes photos, and they'll also be in charge of collecting some of their weapons. After the explosion, no doubt that they'll be rushing towards us. We should all prepare for battle. Sasha, once those three are here, inform them of the plan."
Sylvia was a bit taken aback. She never expected the quiet and reserved Donovan to speak this much. She quickly nodded with a serious expression, and took out her phone to call the others. She first took a photo of the World Name Card of Hasdi so the three could use their Card Copy ability.
Sasha nodded, stood up, and exited the restaurant.
Donovan looked at Sylvia and said, "Sylvia, get someone from your team to stay here with you inside the restaurant. They'll—"
Sasha interrupted him, and said with a smile, "Donovan, did you forget? I'm the leader of my team. I'm a Fighter-type Visitor, remember? I'm not weak, I can protect myself. I have faith in my team. Hehe, you were right to choose to do this mission with me and my team. I'm sure you wouldn't have completed this mission with Dean."
Well... from the original Donovan's memories, every mission with Dean ended in victory.
Donovan silently sighed. "Just don't forget the plan. I'll go now."
"Mhm. And good luck." She said.
Donovan stood up, and went in front of the restrooms. He sighed, and just randomly entered one. Then, his umbrella suddenly appeared in his right hand, and he tapped it on the floor.
A holographic map appeared in front of him. It was the map of the restaurant, and Donovan could see the hidden entrances. He looked to his right, and looked at the map again. From where he was standing, to his right was a hidden passage.
Now how do I open it...
He knocked on the wall, tried pressing his palm against the wall, but nothing.
He then pointed the front of his silver watch on the wall, and a green light escaped the watch and moved up and down the wall. Then, as the green light kept going up and down as if it was scanning the wall, his silver watch beeped.
He looked at his watch, showing an image of the wall in front of him, and he saw a red beeping light on the wall to the top right.
Donovan moved closer, and he moved a brick on the wall from the top right. Then, he saw a small button. He pressed it, and the wall opened up, revealing stairs that went down.
Success...
