in case you're wondering this was just for a break in the main story and a bit of a breather before the second half of this book so you don't have to read it but there is an important part at the end. The next chapter will be better see you all soon.
*Vixy's POV*
My body materialized into my small cave that I called home in this world. Looking around I felt like I was inside the game itself, feeling my surroundings I found myself staring at a shadow shaped oddly like a little girl with an arm over the doorframe.
"Now that you're here where are the others?" ZeldaGirl asked as her face faded into view. Moxy, BonBunny, Tag, Funtime, and to the girl's surprise Chip appeared.
Chip appeared with a ruby chest plate with a heart on the upper half her purplish wings giving a soft glow in the dim light of my cave with a short sword on her belt waiting to be held in battle. ZeldaGirl had a disapproving look on her face which really gave off the effect that this wasn't just a game.
"Oh why does Chip have to be here she's the weakest here out of all of us?" she asked annoyed while pulling out her own weapon being a silver blade with a purple hilt with three triangles engraved into both but being golden on the hilt.
"Because I asked her to be Zelda, you don't make the rules in this guild Tag does." I explained and Tag walked up to her and struck her with the claws she found in a dungeon not too long ago. We moved out into the open light of our grounds with tiny huts built here and there to show our other mates.
There was a small fountain in the middle of the grounds, we approached it and pressed our hands on the stone tablet and a list of guild made dungeons appeared out of thin air. This was sometimes the only reason why we come into the game to play each others dungeons.
Zelda's appeared first since it was on the top of the category list selected which was previously updated. We entered it and fell straight to the floor.
When I got up I saw everybody with their weapons out in the starting room. Chip whistled with her short sword still in her hand.
It was something that was quickly learned in this world that whistling meant the difference between life and death. At first nothing seemed to happen but than she slashed her sword into the air and it connected with something flying in the air.
ZeldaGirl was known for testing us in the very first room with the exception of the recreated dungeons that were from another game that didn't do that. I guess she didn't expect us to remember right away but because Chip remembered the most about what to do first it just flattened her plans all together.
"Dang it should have known that would happen." Zelda sighed and left for the door.
"You know everywhere around this place traps, enemies, locked doors, solutions to puzzles, keys should I go on?" Tag told her as the door to the next room opened.
The central room of the dungeon was in the shape of a cube. Lanterns were hung from the roof with different colors of flame from the fires within their containers, they were surrounding a elevator like object but the direction it went was unclear.
Doors were placed on the center of the walls around it with vines and moss trying to retake the temple back to nature.
Everyone stood there predicting what would happen since the dungeon's main room looked like that of one of the temples that Zelda had recreated. The way that temple had started was that ghosts would extinguished the flames from the sources and carry the fires to separate areas of the temple of which you'd have to seek them out to get to the end.
I would give her the benefit of the doubt that it would be different if it wasn't for the fact that it was almost a one to one recreation of the room.
BunBon pulled her bow out as she stepped closer to the stairs while notching an arrow. Like I guessed the fires in the room went out, but to their surprise the rest of the lights went out plunging the entire room in pitch blackness.
Me and BunBon pulled flame arrows and fitted them in, scanning the room for any torches or light sources within the room which could light it at least a little bit. We didn't even attempt to shoot the lanterns since they were magic and only took a certain thing.
Everybody each followed the example and shot any available light sources to shoot to give light to the room so we didn't end up killing each other while doing something important.
After a minute the outline of the room was lit up by the arrows Tag and Funtime fired upon them. ZeldaGirl walked down the stairs and to the circle of lanterns before turning to address us.
"This place is one that I made myself with somethings used from other games but with my own twist on things." she smiled in the dim light as the floor lit up that led to a door on the left of the room.
"And you aren't going to help us but instead going to follow us as we figure our way around the place right?" I asked and she nodded in agreement.
I drew my sword as we all headed to the door to the next room. A single hallway followed with a giant skull creature which was taken out though the use of a grappling hook and simple sword stab from Chip.
The hallway ended in an outside area where moss was all over the bricks that where set into the wall. Water ran through the center with a bridge across it to get to the opposite side. A giant weed snapped at us with many winged creatures circling the skies waiting for the perfect time to strike.
"So what do we do?" Funtime asked looking at the cliffs that went into the sky. Seeing a purple light from what looked like a flame she pulled out her grapple and went for a side.
Moxy and the others objected to climbing the landscape and told us they'd stay down here defending us as we went up and down.
I sighed and grappled to the lowest ledge that had a small chest which gave me a key to a door in another area. Chip had wings so she flew to the ledge but she wouldn't be able to keep going due to the fact she was a knight.
"I don't think I can get up there easily so I'll go see if there's anymore keys around the room." Chip told me and she went off on her own thing.
"After this we'll be done for the day we'll finish this over Christmas break!" ZeldaGirl shouted from below.
Several tries of continuing with my grapple I found all the walls above weren't able to have it attach to those surfaces. I withdrew the bow and aimed it at any switch-like object which thankfully the first one activated something.
A tiny portion of the wall disappeared to reveal a button. Walking over to it one of the creatures rushed at me but ended up going down at the fact of my blade going straight into it with no trouble. The platform I stood on rose with the button press.
The top still felt out of sight but a door was engraved into the wall of the tower. Left with no other chose I went in the room.
A giant hand monster was lumbering around until it saw me and went to attack. Preparing for an attack I readied my sword but when it attempted to do so it hit an invisible wall.
Confused I moved to it and hit it with the sword, it immediately bounced off and rebounded toward me.
"Clever. Deception is you're biggest strength after all." I said to nobody as the monster continued to get me behind the wall.
A ladder leading to the next area was behind the creature so I scouted across the length of the wall until I almost fell on the floor.
Dashing to the ladder I got up to the platform without much difficultly causing it to ram it's head below me.
I pulled a few blocks and whistled to take care of a few of the smaller enemies before storming to the top. Light poured from the hole in the ceiling as I pulled my grappling hook and pulled myself up to the top.
Purple light flowed from it's holder as I approached the flame. Looking for any other looming threats I found Funtime standing around waiting for me.
"If you were up here the entire time why didn't you just grab the flame so we could leave?" I asked walking up to her with my sword still drawn.
"I just wanted to see if you could get up here on your own to see if you are still as good as you were." she said giggling and winking clearly knowing that I could.
"Chip got another small key so the next time we're here we can explore some more. Now take the flame so we can leave and I can go back to bed." she explained walking closer to the flame. I started to walk to it than I stopped.
"Let's do it together Funtime we are sisters after all." I exclaimed and she smiled.
"I thought you'd never ask Vix. Let's do this." she answered and we went toward the flame.
When we pulled the fire from the holder we were both teleported to the bottom of the room. Everyone cheered when we appeared at the bottom.
"So Zelda can we go home now?" Funtime asked and she gave a quick nod and we left the game for the time being.
*Mangle's POV*
Getting up everybody started stretching and Kookie started to whine,
"Aw I was having fun in there collecting stuff and being able to fly and stuff." she said and I hugged her before we all left the computer lab.
Looking down the hallway Chica was for some reason walking down the hall even though the bell was going to ring any moment. She looked confused and slightly mad that we didn't invite her but she deserves being left out to a point.
"We'll say nothing if you say nothing." I told her and she agreed than we all left for our dorms and thankful me, Bonbon and foxy got there before the bell. Bonnie was siting on his bed waiting for us or more accurately Bonbon.
"I'll go on a date with under one contusion." she started knowing the question. Bonnie got up and walked to us.
"Ok what do you want?" he asked.
"Well I have a arranged marriage with someone I could care less about so all you'll have to do is try to help me make it null and void." she answered him and his eyes lit up.
"Of course I'll help you I like you." he agreed and Bonbon smiled.
The announcement sounded and we all went to bed. Though to be honest it would be a lot better if I didn't have a small constant pain my arms.
But it's nothing right? nothing will hurt me anytime soon. Just calm down Mangle you're life is the best right now. I just hope that it stays this way so I don't attempt to go back to the way it was before.
I still wear the scars that I wish would heal so I could forget about it and move on but I think that will never happen. Ever
