On the
last arc, Rowen had taken advantage of Matt and Alex and was able to retrieve
both the Bird’s Tear and the Rainbow Mist. Going back to Tigre Village, the
Telsi Potion was made to revive his three old friends: Droan, Anietta, and
Narisa! At a close pinch, the main group of El Monte was able to stop him with
teamwork. Now that the potion has been used, how will the students return to
Earth? Telgei appears and tells them that there is a possibility, but it would
mean attending the Sunlit Mayhem. The ten students have been chosen and now the
score is one win, two losses, and one draw. Will the students be able to make
more wins in their score count?
Episode 206 – Focus on Spokesman Gerald, the Full Party
of Echoville
Venus was still battling against
Johnny. They were face-to-face and the audience was confused as to what Venus
had done to Johnny. With Gerald’s speech about Venus ‘lying’ about the necklace
and Johnny’s side of the story –
telling the whole audience about what Venus had done, everybody began judging
Venus as the evil sinner. Venus closed her eyes. “You’re… you’re making a fool
out of me? I didn’t even mean to do anything to you in the first place!”
“But you did it anyway!” Johnny
yelled at her back.
“What does she mean?” Thuy asked
kindly. Christine only shrugged.
Venus’s tears were still running down
her eyes. “Stop with the bullcrap already!!” She created a Clap noise with her
Lightning ability and a large zap appeared above Johnny, but he jumped away.
She then created a Cannonade with her thunder. The continuous lightning
appeared, following Johnny but he was quick enough to avoid her. “Barrage!” She
added. A large circle surrounded Johnny. “Now you can’t run! I’ve seen your
weak point!”
“What?” Johnny was amazed.
“You can use your stupid
subordination powers, but it only works if you have a clear runway. Now that
I’ve surrounded you, you can’t run!” She then turned her whip into the shape of
a bow weapon.
Matt cheered, “Go Venus! Look at all
those new moves!”
Jenny was worried. “She’s really
serious about shooting that Johnny guy by using bow and arrows.”
“That’s because her new moves and
actions are driven by complete anger.” Peter added. “She is really going too
far, but what can you do if everybody believes the liar?”
“You believe Venus’s story?” Stan
asked.
“I don’t know. She doesn’t really
like talking about herself…” He pondered.
~~~
As time passes, Yessenia slows down
with Bunny. “The person I am sensing is Jon, but where is he?”
Jennifer arrived with Lupe. “There
you are, Bunny!” Jennifer called out for him from afar.
“Oh, how is Brandon?” Yessenia began
to casually converse with the two girls.
“He’s doing fine. Right now, he is
watching the match through the telescreen offered in the hospital.” Jennifer
responded.
Lupe decided to add in her own
observation. “It looks like Shirley is in there too now?”
“Yeah… she was brutally attacked
by... Uh…”
“We know, don’t worry.” Jennifer
said calmly. “Sharon… We saw her through the telescreen. You know, I’ve noticed
something about that battle. Spokesman Gerald was swept off his feet from only
that match.”
“How do you figure things like
that?” Yessenia was amazed.
Lupe hugged Jennifer. “Jennifer is
very observant. She has the eyes of a hawk.”
Yessenia then glared at Bunny with
an evil grin. Bunny stomped his feet. “Who cares about eyes!” It said angrily.
“So what does this say about that
Gerald guy?” Jennifer asked as she began to answer herself, “He may be
suspicious.”
Yessenia started to agree with her.
“Putting the pieces together, he does seem a bit ambiguous even by this fifth
match. We might need to examine this more.”
“We’ll search around together!”
Jennifer offered.
“That would be nice.” Yessenia shook
her head in agreement.
~~~
Johnny was still surrounded by
Venus’s Barrage. Venus was aiming her bow whip and arrow at Johnny. He only
laughed which confused Venus. “Whats so funny now?”
“You think you can defeat me. This
necklace is mine.”
“Tch!” Venus angrily let go of her
fingers and the arrow stabbed Johnny by the heart. He fell to the ground but he
vanished right after. Johnny appeared behind her but without a coat. He knocked
her down with a simple elbow to her back and she fainted immediately.
Matt was shocked now. The score was
one win and three losses. Jen held onto Matt’s shoulders. “This looks bad…” she
claimed.
Matt became serious. “We are losing
like crazy now. At this rate, there is almost no hope. Even worse, Yessenia
just ran off. What the heck is going on, damn it?!” He punched a wall next to
him. “Things are looking really bad now!”
Stan and Kalpesh appeared before
them. “Stan? Kalpesh? What are you two doing here?” Jen asked.
Stan laughed. “We should be asking
you guys the same question. Kalpesh wanted to find Jen while I was looking for
you, Matt. I’m suspecting something is going on with this mayhem.”
“You too?” Matt felt relieved that
he was not the only one believing this.
“Yeah, and first off… we need to ask
the people in Aielle Village about Gerald’s home. I think if we go there, we’ll
find out some information.”
“What makes you think Gerald is
behind all of this?” Jen spoke. “Did that idea just come out of nowhere?”
“Well no, because he kind of gay
away the mystery once he was focusing most on Shirley and Sharon’s battle.”
Kalpesh said. “Even as a businessman, you would have to spectate every little
thing.”
“Weird and lame at the same time.”
Stan joked while Kalpesh decided to leave on his own in annoyance. “I’m
kidding, sheesh!”
~~~
At this point in time, Winny’s group
is on their way back to Aielle Village and Matt’s group gathered information on
Gerald’s home. Yessenia’s group had done the same. Yessenia’s group was behind
a few bushes. “They really put lots of security around his house.” She
commented.
“Well, if you’re one of the most
important persons here in Aielle Village, then of course you need to protect
his home. Let’s see if Bunny’s powers work best here.” Jennifer giggled.
“Got it, master!” Bunny appeared out
in the blue and the security guards stared at him. Bunny used his infatuation
powers to make all of the guards want to hug him in joy.
Yessenia shivered. “This brings back
bad memories. We should just get the heck out of this place and go directly
into Gerald’s place.”
“Why bad memories?” Jennifer
wondered. Lupe remembered when Yessenia was infatuated by Bunny because of his
powers. The three girls ran into Gerald’s home but there were security cameras.
Lupe caused the ends of the camera
to become slippery and the cameras slipped off from the ceiling without any
sweat. “That was simple. Let’s go.”
“Useful support magic coming from
Lupe and Bunny. Interesting, don’t you think?” Jennifer said to Yessenia while
she said nothing.
Meanwhile, back outside, Matt’s
group could see Bunny hugging all of the soldiers. Matt yelled out loud, “That
bunny is being loved by those guys?!”
Bunny jumped. “No, don’t come
closer! You break my magic spell!”
“What?” Matt took a step forward.
Bunny lost concentration and the guards gained consciousness. “Oh.” Matt said
bluntly. “I think now is the time to run.” Matt’s group ran on in to Gerald’s
home.
They met up with Yessenia’s group at
last. “There you are!” Jen smiled. “Finally.” She said.
Yessenia could hear guards screaming
for Matt’s group outside. “What did you guys do now?!”
“We just wanted to know what you’re
thinking of, randomly leaving the stadium like that.” Matt answered.
Yessenia examined the living room.
“Since I could not find Jon, I decided to go to the direct source: Spokesman
Gerald. Right now, I cannot seem to find any information.”
“Agggh!!” The guards yelled.
“What’s going on?” Kalpesh became
alert.
They heard footsteps coming closer
from the front door. Jennifer took out her gun. “Watch out…”
The door opened and there was nobody
in sight. Matt screamed from the top of his lungs, “AAAHHHH!! GHOST!!”
“Ghost?!” Jen repeated.
Yessenia slapped Matt on the head.
She then pointed downward. It was no ghost. It was Telgei who was entirely
shorter than the rest of the group. “What do you children think you’re doing at
my pal’s house?”
“Ahahaha! Who says ‘pal’ these
days?” Matt joked. Jen sighed at Matt’s informal tone towards the elderly
tigerman.
Yessenia stepped forward. “We
suspect that Spokesman Gerald is on to something.”
“Spokesman Gerald? We’ve been
friends for years. Haha! I don’t think he would do anything. Tell you what, we
can leave this place now and I’ll keep this a secret from him.”
“You mean you’re letting us go?”
Stan asked.
“My reputation as old fun Telgei
shouldn’t come to a stop here, sonny. Besides, I want to see the mayhem go even
further but with three students unattended at the backstage, who knows if
you’re ne-…”
They heard the speakers outside
calling, “And on the red team for match number six, Matthew Tran!”
Matt jumped. “He used my full name!”
“That doesn’t matter. You’re next
and you’re all the way here at Gerald’s house!!” Kalpesh panicked.
Matt panicked. “Well then how do I
get there on time?! At this rate, it will take me a good five minutes to run
back.”
Lupe opened her palms. “There’s
nothing a slippery slide can do!” She focused on the front porch leading all
the way to the stadium, “Here goes nothing!” She created a long slide and then
there was a silence.
Matt paused and then said bluntly,
“So what now?” Stan pushed Matt onto the slide and he began sliding at about 30
mph. “DAAAAH!!! Why am I going so fast?! And how come the rubbery slide is not
burning me?!?!?!”
Jennifer scratched her head. “Um, I
guess his fire powers protect him from the burning friction.”
Bunny clapped its hands. Me next!”
“Uh, no.” Jennifer refused after
seeing how fast Matt went.
~~~
After about a minute, Gerald said
slowly, “One more time… Matthew Tran!”
The slide ended right at the edge of
the backstage. At the end, Matt slipped off the slide and was thrown onto the
stage like rolling ball going through the stage. He flew flat against one side
of the walls. The audience began laughing. Alex covered his face in shame. “How
is he my friend?”
“Oh… So it looks like Matt barely
made it to the stage! Anyway, we will move forward on the blue team then!”
Gerald said. Matt was eager to find out who it will be. “On the blue time, from
Echoville…”
“Wait, what?” Matt paused.
“Vialaro, said to be the master of
snipers!”
Danny remembered Vialaro back at
Echoville. “Whoa!!! It’s that mean guy who hurts his own teammates! Why is he
here?!”
“You look the same, kind of! You
went through five years too?!” Matt said to him.
“No. It has been one year since
we’ve last met, and it has been one year that I have lived since then.”
“But how…”
Vialaro began to explain. “Rowen had
left a portal back at the village outside of our very own forest.” Matt
remembered the cloud bridge that surrounded the while forest. “Marri and Pippy
had already been taken by Rowen a few months before Levi and I discovered this
portal. The next thing you know, we ended up in Aielle Village with no trace of
Marri or Pippy still. Eventually, they had arrived after we were about to
explore the world in search for them. Strangely enough, they looked several
years older but they did not know why. I am still questioning this, but the
more important matter now is to return home by defeating you.”
Matt became worried. “You guys…
turned good in the end and now we have to fight again?”
“We are not enemies, young man. I
assure you. This will be a chivalrous battle between me and you.”
Matt readied his fists. “As long as
you’re not an enemy… then we will fight for our own right home! Heh!”
Danny said to Alex, “He mentioned
Levi! I remember her!”
“Who are these people anyway?” Alex
wondered.
“They’re people we met a little
before you got your water powers. I think Levi is close friends with-… Mariel…”
~~~
From the hospital, Shirley and
Brandon were healing up in their respective rooms. Shirley was on a bed,
watching through the telescreens. “That man… Gerald said that Vialaro guy is
from Echoville. So Marri isn’t the only one.” She closed her eyes to think
about the case. “How is that even possible? Two of the Echoville Halflings grew
five years while the other two are still at a normal age.”
She began thinking more about it and
then it hit her. She remembered when Marri was screaming nearby a capsule but
Marri did not want to say anything. She subtly remembered what the capsule
looked like. Shirley ripped apart the wires attached to her skin. There were no
doctors standing nearby her. “I must… check out that capsule.”
It took several minutes limping
towards the capsule outside and there was a sign that said ‘do not touch’. She
still did so anyway. As she opened the capsule, she looked at what was inside
and she made a shrieking expression. “That’s right.” A girl said from behind.
“I finally got some information about that capsule. I know exactly what’s going
on.” It was Levi who had gone through puberty. She was half a foot taller with
a larger boned body compared to before and her hair was tied into a pony tail.
Her voice was also deeper. “Miss me?”
