The whole
group was split into three and the main focus is now based on the Druskane Continent.
Yessenia’s group finally reached the village themselves. The Peridot soldiers
are trapped in a bind against Yessenia’s group to protect the village and its
slavery. Meanwhile, Shirley and Huy entered the underground portion of the
hideout only to become caved in by monsters. Shirley escapes and finds a book
about the Telsi Potion. However, Jennifer appears with a gun. Huy also makes
way to find Christine. And to add up more complications, Matt and Alex decided
to battle each other! At this point, the main group split into two to catch up
to Rowen, but Whistel Continent is much more complicated to deal with.
Episode 180 – Sens for Aldine City, the Cottage in the
Snow
At
the docks, Taiger and Lagi were helping each other enhance the Terris ship
which Omar, Peter, and Brandon brought. Along with these three students, Matt,
Shirley, Jaime, Winny, Jason, Huy, Christine, Omar, Peter, and William were all
together in one area. They have to decide which groups are going where.
Nix
appeared from Matt’s spirit. “Is it really okay for you guys to chase after
Rowen?”
Matt
held onto Nix’s body. “Don’t worry. With all of us, we are able to make a great
plan. So far, it looks like Yessenia, Alex, and Venus already left.” He made
eye contact with Telgei, the tigreman chief. “And, the three of them already
went up north of the cold lands.”
Winny
began to panic, but she was in the back of the group. Nobody noticed. Telgei
said next, “The northern part of the Whistel Continent begins with Aldine City,
one of the richest cities in the Elsiyan world. Quite hard to believe it is the
richest as it is in the snow. Well, people do say…”
Matt
began speaking up, causing Telgei to ramble on in the background, “So basically
we have to go to the southern area if we leave with the enhanced Terris.”
Telgei’s
faint voice continued, “It is quite a peculiar city. With all of them lights
and everything. I love it there… Ah, I remember when…”
Matt
turned to Winny, the first person near his point of view, “Want to go to the
Whistel Continent?”
Winny
became giddy. “A... A… Cold land?! F-F-Fine.”
Matt
tilted his head in confusion. “Are you afraid of something?”
“N-No!
Let’s go!”
Shirley
clenched her fists together with pride. “Alrighty! So, Huy, Peter, and Omar
will come with me.”
Peter
whispered to Omar, “Aren’t they going to argue a lot?”
“I
have a feeling you’re right. Damn it. What have you gotten us into?”
“You’re
the one who agreed to go!” Peter yelled.
“Me?!”
Omar became angry. “What did you say, panda-head?!”
Shirley
slapped both of their faces. “You’re both to talk!!”
Jaime
tapped Matt’s shoulder. “I’m going too. I’m pretty sure we will find Tony along
the way.”
“You
think so?” Matt thought about it. “Well in that case, sure. The three of us
would be unstoppable. Haha!”
Christine
blushed. “Um… I think I should stay. I can’t fight, really.”
“Do
you have any powers?” Huy said up close to Christine’s face.
Shirley
dragged his collar, “NOT SO CLOSE.”
Christine
looked away. “No… I don’t. Don’t worry. As of now without Rowen, I think this
village will be safe. Besides, I can help the tigremen with food. I love
cooking.”
Matt
whispered to Winny and Jaime, “She just said tee-grey-men…”
“I
think that’s how the village people here call them… instead of tigermen.” Jaime
murmured.
Jason
suddenly screamed. “YES!! YES! More of a reason to stay here!”
Huy
gasped. “Excuse me?!”
Shirley
punched them both. “What are you two mumbling about now?! Stay away from my
best friend!”
Jason
began spinning. “Let’s dance! We can celebrate!”
Huy
hid next to a tree in shame. “It’s such a misery that an evil girl is best
friends with such an angel…”
Shirley
began raging in her mind. “You… two… are… the… worst!!”
William
had his eyes closed. He began to smile again. “I guess I can stay here and use
my powers to manipulate the actions of the Peridot soldiers in case they try to
do anything sketchy.”
“Excuse
me?!” Jason burst into anger.
Matt
headed for the ship. “Alright! Then it’s settled! Jaime, Winny, and I will go
to the southern end of the cold lands. Shirley, Huy, Peter, and Omar will
follow us half way and we will drop them off… where?”
“Dalstidia.
It is the fastest way to reach the Greyton Oasis with the least amount of
walking. We’re going to help escort you there.”
Matt
continued, “Dalstidia it is. William and Christine will stay here for the time
being. We’re coming back right?”
Shirley
shook her head. “We each have an item to take. Let’s have a race and see who
comes back with the item first: me with the Rainbow Mist, or you with the
Bird’s Tear!”
Matt
gave her a thumb’s-up. “Hehe! Okay!”
Jason
cried. “You forgot to mention me!”
~~~
The
Whistel Continent… the cold lands are just about peaceful as any other place,
but near the center is a strip of strange mist that runs southwest towards the
ocean near Dalstidia. This is why it is dangerous to go up north on a weaker
boat. Yessenia, Venus, and Alex docked their ship onto the point of Aldine
City, but they were not quite in the city yet. There were Aldine guards who blocked
the way to the entrance.
Alex
began to shiver. “Why is it so cold here…” He wore a large, light beige and
green sweater.
Venus
stood right next to him, shivering even more. “I know right! Ugh!” She only
wore a tank top and shorts.
Yessenia
watched them both. “You two are hopeless…” She went ahead and spoke to one of
the Aldine guards. “Excuse me, but is it possible for us to go through?”
One
of the guards saluted her and said respectfully, “I am sorry, miss. We need 50
sens.”
Yessenia
checked in her pocket. “Cents, you say?”
“Sens.”
“That
is what I said, sir. Here are two quarters.”
“These
are not sens. What is this?”
“I
apologize. Why are you saying ‘cents’ so strangely?”
“Sens.
S-e-n-s.”
“…What
is that?”
Venus
whispered to Alex, “Finally something she doesn’t know.”
Alex
shrugged. “Eh. I’ve seen her weak sides a few times.”
Yessenia
returned to the group of two. “Apparently we need 50 Elsiyan money. I am not
sure how much that is compared to US dollars.”
Venus
began to look around. “Well um…” She saw a man walking past by them. She walked
up to him and said in a sex appealing way, “Hey~ I’m like… lost and I am not
sure what to do~ Can you give me like… 50… money.”
Alex
placed his hand over his forehead. “She didn’t even mention the currency name
for Elsiyan dollars.”
“50
money…” Yessenia sighed in shame.
The
man reached out from his pocket. “Haha! I travel the world. 50 sens is like
nothing to me! Here you go, old woman.”
“OLD
WOMAN?” Venus yelled at him.
The
man ran away and Alex began laughing. Yessenia coughed. “Well that is new.”
Venus
stomped back to the group. “That man just called me old!”
“Your
sex appeal doesn’t really work, ever. Does it?” Alex questioned.
“Can
you shut up? Let’s go.”
As
the group reached the entrance, the Aldine guard said, “Welcome back! That will
be 150 sens total.”
There
was a moment of silence until Venus suddenly blurted out, “ARE YOU
SERIOUS?!?!?!”
~~~
After
several moments, the Terris arrived at Dalstidia. Shirley stretched her arms
and then she squealed, “Ah! It’s pretty hot here but not bad of a weather I’d
say.”
Peter
became nervous. “Eh, ehm… This weather… it’s too hot.”
“You
pandas are just not used to the weather, huh.” Omar joked.
“You
shut your mouth!” Peter replied.
“Before
we continue arguing, we should start out by looking for the exit south so that
we can head over to the oasis.” Huy took a map from a nearby kiosk.
Lagi
waved at them, “Goodbye humans! We’ll see you later, okay? Especially you, Mr.
Panda!”
Peter
shivered. “That tiger woman is kind of scary…”
The
two groups began to split and Matt’s group was headed on their way to the
southern part of the cold lands, Halka Village.
~~~
Back
at Aldine City, the group of three somehow entered. Venus giggled. “Man! That
guy back there was so weak.”
Alex
panicked. “Did you just beat up some people?”
“I
didn’t have to. I had to act like a prostitute or something. It worked!”
“It
did?!” Alex was surprised.
~~~
Venus whimpered, “OHH~~ You men over
there. Can you like… help me?” She was stretching her bra strap.
The two men ran off and one threw
his wallet onto the floor on purpose. He yelled, “She looks like a freak! AHH!
Just take our money. Run, run away from that demon!”
~~~
Venus sighed. “Sure. It worked.”
She moped up ahead.
Alex
whispered to Yessenia, “What just happened?”
“Beats
me. She walked off on her own and we just waited for her. Anywho, we are headed
to the Trinity Top which is south of here.”
There
were a few cattle and a bunch of rich people riding on white horses. Alex
scratched his head in uncertainty. “Can horses really handle the snow?”
Yessenia
began blushing. She stared at a white horse. “That… that unicorn… it’s so
beautiful.”
“…What
are you talking about?”
Yessenia
suddenly ran up to a random horse. “I have always wanted a unicorn since I was
little. I can finally touch one!”
“Unicorns…?
Yessenia, are you okay? This is not like you.” Alex became worried. “Don’t tell
me this is… your weak side?!?!”
The
man who was riding on the unicorn said to them, “Ah yeah it’s just a horse.”
Yessenia
yelled at him, “You do not crush my little dreams, sir!!”
“I’m
sorry! Geez.” This man had glasses and a large posture. “So, how much would you
want for this? I’ve barely been around for a few months so I kind of need the
Elsiyan money.”
This
suddenly sparked her mind. “A few months in Aldine?”
“Um…
kinda.”
“Where
were you before? And do you not know the Elsiyan currency name?”
“I-I
keep forgetting.” The man said in a panic.
“Is
there something wrong, Yessenia?” Alex asked. Venus was still in the
background, moping around.
Yessenia
pointed at the man, “This man… this man even dresses like an Earthling. You are
from El Monte!” The man suddenly became shocked.
“WHAT?!”
Alex exclaimed.
There
was a girl nearby who was walking with two cattle. “Joseph, dinner is almost
ready- Huh?” She turned to Yessenia and Alex. This girl had a hood on, but her
face seemed quite familiar.
Alex
looked closely into her eyes. “You… I don’t know you, but you look familiar…”
Yessenia
noticed that the hood was a part of a coat she was wearing. But Yessenia could
see the girl’s bare legs under the coat. “Only Matt’s best friend would wear
something like that even in the coat… besides Venus.”
The
girl smiled. “Oh my gosh!! You two are from El Monte! Joseph, we found the
others!!”
“Who
the heck is Joseph?” Alex asked rudely.
Joseph
coughed. “Ah, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you two were from El Monte. I had to
keep our identities on the down low.”
Jen
giggled. “This is so cool! Please, please, come in to our little cottage!”
“You
two have a cottage?” Alex was amazed.
Jen
laughed. “A cottage for three-… Oh…” She suddenly stopped smiling. Joseph was
also quiet.
Yessenia
could sense a strange emotion from the two of them. Something must have
happened previously. “We should go to your cottage first before we talk.” Jen
and Joseph agreed.
~~~
In
Jen and Joseph’s own cottage, Jen made coffee for every person. She continued
to make cheesecake for the rest of them. “I don’t know how to bake, but just
bear with it! Anything for Matt’s friends! Oh, where is he by the way?”
Alex
answered for her, “He’s somewhere far away right now. But, he’s definitely
safe. Don’t worry, he’ll be fine.”
“And
with that, we also have a favor to ask.” Yessenia began her request. Jen and
Joseph listened carefully. “We want you guys to come with us back to Earth. We
are almost done gathering everybody. We do not know exactly how many more
people are missing, but for sure we got most of them.”
Joseph
placed his coffee mug onto the table. “We are of course going to agree on this.
We just don’t really know how to get out.”
Venus
kept poking the cattle that were outside. “Hehe… they like me.”
Jen
dropped a plate and she began shaking. Yessenia quickly stood up in alert.
“What happen?”
Joseph
sighed. “Oh Jen… she has been a little flimsy about things lately. You see… I
met her here near the edge of Aldine City, crying.”
Jen
interrupted him, “Yes. And… well, it was strange. First, Stan, Kalpesh, and I
were doing the Biology lab together and then suddenly we are teleported
together into here at Aldine City. This city was under attack by the CORP
soldiers months ago. I overheard that they were going to go down south for more
hostages in order to put them into slavery nearby Wisteria. They were going to
be trained to fight against the Peridot soldiers because Wisteria is apparently
the only area that is unclaimed by the soldiers. Basically, Stan and Kalpesh
were taken and I could barely run and hide. I don’t know where they are now…”
Alex
remembered this carefully. “This… was how I first showed up! I appeared on a
strange road that was near some kind of village. Soldiers found me and took me
onto a ship. This was also months ago.”
Jen
clapped her hands together, “Whoa! You must be talking about Halka Village. Then
that means…! You know where they are?! They’re… still out there somewhere!”

-NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW-
Jen:
Please, take me to Matt!
Yessenia: He’s nowhere nearby us. He is on the other end of the
continent.
Jen:
Then we should head there now.
Alex: I
also trust that he’s safe. Right now, we have to stop Rowen from getting the
Bird’s Tear. Matt’s group should be there by now if anything.
Matt:
We’re finally here. Now we have to climb a steep mountain?
Winny:
And it’s cold…
Jaime:
I just hope you guys know who you’re dealing with here. Rowen is a professional
fire elemental user.
Matt:
Well I am too so let’s go.
Jaime:
You’re not really… Ah, too lazy to debate.
Matt:
That’s right. You better listen! Next time on episode 181, Jen’s Detached
Friendship, Climbing the Trinity Top!
