Recurring Nightmare! The Origin of Ring Revealed!


Travel Multiversal Episode 1
Chapter 2
“Recurring Nightmare! The Origin of Ring Revealed!”
An RP between RaijinSenshi and eshonen


Lately every night, Ring Diamond has been plagued by a series of nightmares. In them she and others she can't quite recognize are tormented by a towering man in a blue jumpsuit. Near the end of said nightmares she ends up floating away as the others that were with her are slowly silenced one by one until nothing can be heard and she finds herself in an empty void. After waking up in a fright, Ring seeks out Kevin for comfort and safety; tonight is just another one of those nights...

Ring: *walks into Kevin’s room and stands before him with tears in her eyes* ...

Kevin: ....Another nightmare? Aw, you poor thing...it's the 8th time this month...

Ring: *nods her head*

Kevin: Well my bed always has space for you, come here. Let's cuddle those bad dreams away, hmm? *he moves over and makes space for her on the bed*

Ring: ^w^ *gets in bed with Kevin and curls up next to him*

Kevin: *holds around her with one arm*

Ring: ...t-these nightmares feel t-t-too real to be j-just dreams...

Kevin: Whatever it is, right now, it's only in your head, and it can't hurt you there. And if something bad does happen...I'm here... *holds her hand*

Ring: ^///^ Yeah~

Kevin: Now, please purr for me, you cute fuzzball~ *gently strokes her tummy and starts to playfully nibble on her ear* Cuddle attack~

Ring: Kyaa~ >w< *giggles and purrs happily*

Kevin: Hehehe~ I love you, you adorable kitty-cat~ *nuzzles her cheek*

Ring: And I l-love you, t-too~ *cuddles Kevin*

*Soon enough both Kevin and Ring are fast asleep and Ring starts to dream again. The nightmare begins again for Ring but with a difference: this time she is able to make out the faces of those around her. She felt as if she should have known who these people were because they had a comforting, familiar feel to them; they were the same species of Nekofi that she was as well. There were three men, two women, two teenage boys and a young girl; she felt as if she knew them but just couldn't remember them. As the nightmare progressed to the part where it would normally end something else new happened. A new person came into view, snickering evilly; it was the one person she actually wanted to forget: Spike Gecko. After that she woke up with a gasp. Looking around it was still night and Kevin was still fast asleep. Ring knew that she couldn't continue living with these nightmares so she decided to go out and get some answers. Quietly slipping out of bed so as to not wake Kevin, Ring goes to her room to get dressed and pack a few things before returning to Kevin's room.*

Ring: *looks at Kevin fast asleep* ... *sweetly kisses Kevin then leaves a letter on the bed before leaving his room*

*Morning comes and Kevin awakens to see that his bed is empty aside from a letter where Ring once was.*

Kevin: ....Has she gone out or something...? *yawns and grabs the letter, trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes before reading it.*

*Kevin opens the letter and begins to read it. It reads "Dear Kevin, the more these nightmare happen the more I'm convinced that they aren't just nightmares but are forgotten memories from my earlier childhood that I can't remember anything about. When I just had the nightmare again I got to clearly see the faces of those around me; I am certain that I knew these people and was close to them. But a new face appeared in my nightmare last night and I think he might have the answers I need. So I've gone to see Spike Gecko and get the answers out of him by any means necessary. I'll be back as soon as I get the closure I need. Love, Ring." Just reading the mention of Spike Gecko set Kevin's alarms off. He shot out of bed and rushed to get dressed and get his stuff with him.*

Kevin: No way in this side of Cosmos am I letting Ring look for that guy by herself! No bloody way!

*As soon as Kevin was dressed and had everything he needed with him he bolted out of his front door and began searching for Ring. The only thing is that since he made it a task not to get involved with Spike Gecko he had no idea where he might find him. But along the way he spots Ashuro talking to a little boy trying to comfort him. Knowing what he was sure to be up against he decided to get Ashuro's help.*

Kevin: Ashuro! *runs up to his Aquitican friend* Ashuro, I need help, ASAP. It's dead serious.

Ashuro: Let me guess: Ring has sought out Spike Gecko?

Kevin: No, Ring s- Wait what? How did you know!?

Ashuro: This little guy just told me.

*Ashuro motions to the little boy in front of him. Upon closer inspection Kevin realizes that the boy had the signature Aquitican antenna on his head. He had a brown with blonde hair coloration and wore thick frame glasses, a violet long sleeve shirt, black pants and white tennis shoes.*

Ashuro: He says his name is Arthur ^^

Kevin: Arthur? You know where Ring went? How?

Arthur: H-how I know is...not important right now. What's important is that you help her...right?

Ashuro: That's right. According to Arthur, he and his two sisters spotted Ring confronting Spike. Afraid of what might happen he decided to come and get help from somebody strong. He tried to get his sisters to come with him but they insisted on staying to keep an eye on the situation.

Kevin: Already!? Damn that girl, she can get herself hurt...!

Arthur: B-but you still care for her, right? :<

Kevin: Well of course I do little guy!

Ashuro: We'd better hurry though; according to what Arthur told me it has been a few hours since then. Follow me, I know where he's been skulking about lately.

Kevin: Yes, come on!

*Kevin and Arthur follow after Ashuro as he dashes to where they'll find Spike Gecko. They eventually arrive at the outskirts of town where a grand house stands but the front yard looked like a battleground.*

Ashuro: ...some fighting definitely happened here recently...

Kevin: I swear to Atheist-God, if something happened to Ring.....!

Arthur: *holds his hand, a bit worried about Kevin's anger*

*After doing some searching around the area Ashuro found something in the massive backyard that was even more battle-scarred than the front yard.*

Ashuro: Kevin, over here!

*Kevin and Arthur join Ashuro in front of a massive crater. Lying inside motionless and writhing in pain was none other than Spike Gecko...except he was all bent, broken up and heavily injured.*

Spike: *laboured and pained breathing*

Ashuro: ...

Arthur: *hides behind Kevin, trembling a bit*

Kevin: ...Spike...what happened here...??

Ashuro: My guess: Spike lost.

???: You're right, he did.

*Stepping out from the shadows were Spike's only friends and companions, Grin and Artisha.*

Artisha: Long time no see, you too.

Grin: *nods*

Kevin: .....He had this shit coming for a long time....but what actually happened in here...?

Artisha: Your little girlfriend happened here. Spike refused to talk and she refused to leave until he talked. In an attempt to scare her off he attacked her; it had the adverse effect. She fought like a warrior possessed.

Kevin: ....Ring....did this..?

Arthur: ...!! L-liar! She's too good a person to commit such a vile act...!

*Kevin turns his attention to Arthur, as he is right about Ring's personality....but how the heck does this kid know so?*

Artisha: Believe what you'd like, kid, but it was definitely Ring who did this. It's not surprising in the least though considering the history she and Spike share. Even the gentlest of birds can turn complete predator when pushed far enough.

Arthur: *firmly gripping Kevin's leg*

Kevin: ....Where is she now? Even if you don't know, you should've seen what direction she went in.

Grin: ...Slumber Gigas...

Kevin: ........Say what now?

Artisha: That's where she went: an island named Slumber Gigas. The island itself is actually a partially submerged sleeping titan floating out in the open sea. In terms of how huge it is, this titan would be on par with the Bionis and the Mechonis.

Kevin: God damn it, Ring.....when I get my hands on you-

Arthur: Don't hurt her!! O~O;;

Kevin: .......UGGGH!!! I'm afraid something bad will happen! She scares me by just running off like this!

Artisha: You're right to be worried. That floating island is the last place Ring should be; I'm beginning to regret telling her about the place.

Ashuro: You told her? But what about Spike?

Artisha: We told her so that she would stop whaling on Spike. He refused to tell her because, believe it or not, he was trying to protect her.

*While Ashuro looked doubtful about Artisha's claim Kevin outright didn't believe her.*

Kevin: ....Don't you dare spew that bullshit in my face...the same guy that drives someone to nearly commit suicide, is trying to protect that one person? And the guy in question is Spike? Forget you guys, I have to get going... *turns around and starts to leave*

Artisha: Yes, I don't blame you for not believing me. Spike's mind is as twisted as they come; even after all of the time we've spent together even Grin and I can't figure out what's going on in his mind or why he does the things he does. You think Spike is bad, you should meet the rest of his family; they're even more messed up than him. That's why he has separated himself from them, to stop their poison from spreading within him any further. I'm not trying to justify anything he's done to Ring but I am saying that it could've been a WHOLE lot worse.

*Kevin begins to walk off.*

Artisha: *sighs* these nightmares she's having; in order to help her I think you need to know about the origin of these nightmares.

Kevin: *stops* and you oh-so-suddenly know so much about Ring? Well then, this one time, and only this time, I'll listen to you. And you better tell me everything you know...

Arthisha: Right. Grin, that's your cue.

Grin: ...Slumber Gigas was a paradise where individuals of all races came together to work as one. Human, non-human, it didn't what you were; as long as you desired a peaceful place free from discrimination, you were welcome there. The people there worked together to make that place a paradise. One of the main attractions for the huge island were the noble giants; you see, some giants are actually cannibals but the ones on Slumber Gigas were always very gentle, kind, protective and inventive. The giants of Slumber Gigas were a driving force for the island and helped keep the peace and settle disputes. Among them was the Royal Family. They were the best out of all the giants; and despite being royalty, they would meet with the people in public often, personally assist in building and restoration projects and even fight with the people to defend the island. With their knowledge, understanding and love for others they led the inhabitants of Slumber Gigas into a golden age. But alas, all ages must unfortunately come to an end. That day nearly 10 years ago the Gecko Family invaded, being led by Spike's father, Shiro Gecko. Prior to the invasion he had stolen a dangerous crystal that had been sealed away deep within Slumber Gigas: the Giant's Crystal; a crystal that grants the bearer the powers of the giants while negating the powers and strength of actual giants. He used it to completely overthrow the current King of Slumber Gigas; he took over everything and enslaved the Royal Family who powerless to do anything against him. Shiro Gecko became known as Mad King Shiro and ruled like the heartless, ruthless monarch he was. His son, Spike Gecko, saw all that was going on and fearing that he would end up as corrupted as his father he left the Gecko Family to find his own way. Shiro did everything he could think of to thoroughly humiliate the Royal Family. The former king wanted so much to spare his family from further torture so he tried to strike a deal with Shiro for their freedom; so just because he could, Shiro ordered for the Royal Family to be executed. The former king's son fought back by freeing the rest of the family and acting as a diversion while they escaped. One by one, the members of the Royale Family were caught until it was just the former king's daughter-in-law and her young daughter. Knowing that they would be caught soon the mother secured a small boat leaving the island and put her daughter on it; the mother was caught soon afterwards...the name of the Royal Family was Diamond; the young girl that escaped was Ring...

*Kevin's jaw steadily dropped as Grin went on. By the end of the explanation, his jaw was closed again, but he was just staring blankly into the air.*

Arthur: ...... *sniffles a bit, trying to fight back tears*

Kevin: ....Ring......is.......

Grin: ...when Spike saw Ring again he knew what must've happened back on Slumber Gigas. His intention was to take the young girl in and give her a good home...but he himself was unable to do that given how he was raised. He basically treated her the same way he was treated as a child, thinking that it was normal...

Artisha: Whenever Spike did cruel things to her or left her in a humiliating situation it was the two of us who bailed her out. I wish that we could've done more but Spike's mind is a dangerous and unpredictable one; we want to help him but at the same time we fear him. If the two of us sticking with him all this time isn't a sign of friendship on our part I don't know what is. But anyway, does this help; do you now understand why you need to find and stop her from reaching Slumber Gigas?

Kevin: ........She'll be killed if she makes it back....

Arthur: NOOOOOOO!!!! She can't die!!!

Ashuro: ...

Artisha: It takes a long time by boat to reach Slumber Gigas so you still have some time to catch up to her if you hurry.

*After quickly composing himself Arthur looks to where his sisters were the last time he saw them and sees that they are no longer there.*

Artisha: Oh, if you're looking for those two little girls that were here earlier they went and followed Ring after she left. Were they friends of yours or something?

Arthur: T-they are my sisters....

Ashuro: ...Shiro Gecko...I take it that he can't be reasoned with, huh?

Artisha: Nope; a man like that won't stop the path he's on until the day he dies.

Ashuro: ...right...Kevin?

Kevin: *mumbles a whisper* Then I'll make sure that day comes quicker than expected......

Arthur: ..... *looking up at Kevin*

Kevin: .....We need to find those girls. Come on. *walks off*

Ashuro: *follows Kevin* you intend to take on the entire Gecko Family by yourself?

Kevin: I can break my entire body down to electrons and attack them as a living lightning bolt......only problem with that is that I need to fully undo the Thunder God seal and release the Black Lightning, and that can set my powers into a non-stop thunder storm...

Arthur: .....I suggest you don't do that...take Ring with you and plan ahead.

Kevin: Arthur, not now. I can understand you're worried, but this-

Arthur: Would Ring want you to murder someone, even if for her sake?

*Kevin stops. He stands there for a good 20 seconds as he turns to Arthur*

Kevin: .....Who...are you, anyway?

Arthur: ....I'll tell when you and Ring are safe at home....

Kevin: Sounds fair enough, to me.

Ashuro: Beside, if what I heard from Grin's story is true, we don't have to kill him...this time. We just need to get that crystal away from him. The giants might be affected by the crystal's power but we're not. But before we go after her might I suggest we get some backup?

Kevin: Let's find Ring first, so she doesn't make it off while we get help...

Ashuro: Yeah, you're right; when you think about it she does have a remarkable head start even if it does take a while to get to where she's going. Guess I'll do this the speedier way...Cell Bunshin! *claps his hands and makes several cell clones appear* you all know who to contact so hurry up and get to them ASAP!

Cell Clones: Right! *speeds of in various directions*

Ashuro: Our reinforcements will meet up with us on Slumber Gigas so all we have to do is focus on getting there and finding Ring.

Kevin: Yes. You don't happen to know the fastest way to get there, do you?

Ashuro: The most standard way is by boat but that takes a long time so the next fastest way is to fly.

Kevin: ...Since Ring has no legit way to fly, she must be at the pier to rent a boat or something, right?

Arthur: Seems logical.

Ashuro: Yeah, let's just hope that there was a long wait for a boat to leave to where she wants to go.

Kevin: Spurt to the pier then. Andale andale!

*Kevin, Ashuro and Arthur rush over to the pier as quickly as possible. When they arrive they ask around and find out that the next boat for Slumber Gigas won't be leaving for another two hours. As they were considering an alternate means of crossing the water, they see a yellow cloud speeding through the sky that circles their location before eventually landing next to them. The person on the cloud was none other than Rocko Yemma.*

Ashuro: Rocko? I thought you were going to be travelling with the others to Slumber Gigas in the ship.

Rocko: I was but after checking the boat schedules I saw that it would be a while before the next boat took off for there, which would leave you two... *sees Arthur standing with them* ...er...three without a way to get there quickly since we were taking the ship. So I came here to help you with something I've been working on for quite some time *takes out what looks like a small fog machine* The Portable Nimbus Maker!

Kevin: You guys keep surprising me more and more. One day, I'll be the one surprising you guys, and you'll be like "Whoa! That is amazing!" But alas... -3-;

Arthur: *chuckles*

Rocko: It runs on electricity and needs water to make the nimbus clouds.

Ashuro: But don't you need to be pure of heart to ride a Nimbus cloud?

Rocko: Not all of us are Goku. I made it so that anybody could ride these clouds; it's my way of giving back to the environment. ^w^ *uses his machine to create three Nimbus clouds* hop on, they're very cushy to get it to do what you want just will it to where you want to go.

Kevin: ... *gets on a cloud*

Arthur: ! *gets on Kevin's cloud with him*

Ashuro: *gets on a cloud* All right, let's go; to Slumber Gigas!

Kevin: ...Rocko, did you see Ring on the way here...?

Rocko: Nope; if anything she's probably on one of the boats going in the same direction we are so be on the lookout for those as we fly. I've got a GPS lock on Slumber Gigas, so I can direct us right to it.

*The four take off on their Nimbus clouds in the direction of Slumber Gigas. Kevin was definitely enjoying the feeling of flying around in this manner but kept his eyes peeled for any boats below him.*

Kevin: ......

Arthur: You seem troubled? Not just because of Ring....

Kevin: ..Huh? Um...yeah...maybe.... I promised her I'd be there for her when she needed me. But, seeing her going out and doing something like this worries me with the fact that...she'll be able to move off without me. She has earned a following as a contest star, she's able to take care of herself....the world is vast, and maybe she wants to explore it...discover people more suited for.......um....

Arthur: ...... *looks at him with a sad expression on his face*

Ashuro: Don't think like that. It is true that Ring gained some confidence from her solo journey but she still hasn't learned what sort of things she can do on her own and what things she can't. Becoming a contest star is something completely different from taking on an entire mafia family by yourself; when we find her be sure to teach her that since it seems that I failed in doing so somehow. She's at that time in her life right now where she's going to need your love and guidance more than ever.

Kevin: ..... *pulls out the box he was carrying Ring's wedding ring in and looks at it for a brief moment.* .....Right.

*Half an hour later Ashuro, Kevin, Arthur and Rocko come across a spectacular sight: a gigantic landmass, nearly humanoid in shape, floating in the middle of the ocean.*

Ashuro: Man, this place is huge...

Kevin: It is a home for giants, what did you expect...?

Arthur: *scouting in Kevin's place*

Rocko: *scouting the area* ...hey, there's the port...and it looks like it just arrived and is letting people off!

Ashuro: That's as good as any place to start our search.

*The four descend towards the port and land in the square connecting to the port. While there they see many different types of people walking about; there were even some wearing collars similar to the one Ring wears.*

Ashuro: ...the emblems in those collars...they're the same ones that were in Ring's collar when I first met her...

Arthur: *scurrying through the crowd* Amethyst! Samantha! You here!?

Kevin: Don't get lost, Arthur! *scouting for Ring* Come on....come on...!!

Rocko: ...the energy here feels weird as well...

Ashuro: You can feel it too, huh?

Rocko: Yeah; there's something permeating the air here...but what?

*Just then several officers rush the scene and make their way towards the port.*

Kevin: ...Officers...?

*Kevin and the others follow the officers to the port to see what was going on.*

Officer 1: What do we have here?

Officer 2: Two giants seem to have gotten loose and have had their collars altered.

Officer 3: Ooh, Boss Shiro is gonna have fun "educating" these two, heh-heh-heh!

Officer 2: Yeah, I feel sorry for the poor sap of a guard that let them slip by them and leave this island.

Officer 1: Boss Shiro will probably gut them all and then appoint new ones. Hahahahaha!

Officer 3: It's a good thing there's always one of the Gecko Family's higher-ups on each boat wearing an amplifier that makes nearby giants weak in the knees, otherwise we would've never found them.

Officer 2: Yeah, you got that r...wait, that tall one looks familiar...WAiT! She's the one that escaped from Boss Shiro's grasp years ago!

Officer 3: Yeah, you're right!

Officer 1: If we turn her into him it could mean big things for us!

*Looking through the crowds of people and officers, Kevin and the others see none other than Ring and another little girl who looked like her in handcuffs, both looking very tired. There was another little girl with blonde hair that was being restrained by a high-ranking member of the Gecko Family.*

Officer 1: What's up with the kid, Bufo?

Bufo: Not only is this one with the giants she blasted me with electricity; too bad for you that my E-nergy element is Earth, you little brat.*

Samantha: My name is Samantha. Is that so hard to understand? I've told you five times already, dummy. >3<

*Arthur makes it to the front of the crowd and stares blankly at what is going on in front of him. Terrified by the officers to the point of trembling where he was standing.*

Bufo: Why you little...! *flings Samantha down to the ground and pulls back his right leg, preparing to kick her* Shut your mouth!

Ashuro: *delivers a speedy, stretching punch to Bufo's face*

Bufo: AHH! *lands with a thud*

Ashuro: You would attack even a little girl? For shame~ -w-

Bufo: What the...who's the wise guy who did this to me?!

Ashuro: Right here The name's Ashuro Kamaké and this girl and the two you have in handcuffs are with me. So if you could see your way to letting them go we can put all this ugliness behind us.

Bufo: Attacking a high-ranking member of the Gecko Family such as myself is punishable by death! You're not leaving this island alive, cat!

Ashuro: -w- ...you...don't want to do that.

Bufo: *powers up with Earth E-nergy and forms rock gauntlets around his fists*

Ashuro: *sighs* Alright then *charges E-nergy into his right arm and then delivers a powerful stretching punch to Bufo's face, sending him flying into the group of officers, bowling them over and getting knocked out*

Bufo: @ o @ ...

Kevin: *runs up to Ring and the young girls* don't worry girls, help is here.

Samantha: !! Y-you are-

Arthur: *runs up as well* Yes Samantha, it is him. Gimme your hand now, I'll help you up.

Ashuro: *walks up to Ring and Amethyst and breaks their handcuffs freeing them*

*Within seconds of being freed from the handcuffs both Ring and Amethyst manage to get to their feet as their energy returns.*

Ring: I-I still feel a b-bit weak but I'm otherwise o-okay.

Ashuro: There's some sort of energy being emitted all over the island; if I had to guess, it must be to negate the abilities of giants.

Kevin: That includes you two...

Amethyst: ...But...I'm no giant......or am I?

*The officers get up and begin advancing on Kevin's group.*

Ashuro: Looks like they're not going to let us go peacefully; looks like the way to end this is to take it up with the big boss. Excuse me...

*Using a flurry of rapid stretching punches Ashuro quickly defeats all of the officers.*

Ashuro: ... *picks one of the officers up by the collar of his shirt* tell me, where can we find Shiro Gecko?

Officer 2: The...near the head of the island...

Ashuro: Thank you ^w^ *drops the officer* let's go, guys.

Kevin: *holds Ring's hand* ......Don't run off like that again. I'm really angry at you right now........

Arthur: *holds Ring's other hand as his sisters hold onto him, walking with them*

Rocko: *uses his portable Nimbus maker to make a huge Nimbus big enough for everybody to ride on* All aboard! Next stop...where are we going again?

Ashuro: Near the head of Slumber Gigas; if anything, that's around the area the royal family lived. Just look for anything that looks like a palace or the like.

Rocko: Right; next stop, near the head!

Kevin: *helps Ring and the kids onto the nimbus* Careful now, careful.

*Once everybody is on board the Nimbus takes in the direction of the head of the island. Meanwhile, within the royal palace, Shiro Gecko walks into the palace dungeon and walks up to the cell containing the one remaining member of the original Royal Family: the former king, Owain Diamond.*

Owain: ...

Shiro: *cackles wildly* Oh Owain, you never seem happy to see me when I come to visit; it's starting to hurt my feelings~ *fake cries then cackles wildly*

Owain: ...

Shiro: Anyway, you'll never guess who paid a visit to my humble little island today; your escapee of a granddaughter.

Owain: !!

Shiro: Oh, I knew that would get your attention. Yeah, she came here with a motley crew of one man, one cat, one hamster and three little kids. I guess that this is supposed to be some sort of retaliation against me or something, I don't know. But don't worry, I'll continue to hold up my original deal to our promise made years ago. I'll let you see all of your family one last time before I kill them right before you; and once they're all gone THEN I'll kill you. See, aren't I a nice guy? *cackles wildly* well, I've got to go; I'll make sure to leave your granddaughter intact enough for you to meet with her one more time. Till then, ta-ta~ *cackles wildly*

Owain: ...Ring...

*Within minutes, Ashuro and the others land in the plaza surrounding the huge royal palace.*

Rocko: We have arrived at what looks like the royal palace, enemy HQ! Please be careful when disembarking the Nimbus and thank you for flying Air Yemma today~ ^o^

Kevin: Is it a good idea to take the kids with us...?

Arthur: We can help!

Samantha: Besides, you can't afford to let even one of you leave and keep us safe, right?

Kevin: "sigh" Just don't tell your parents we took you on this mission....

Amethyst: ...hehehe, ok~

*They all giggle*

Kevin: I fail to see the fun in that. -_-

*Ring takes a long look around her. The sights, the sounds and smells were all very familiar to her; she had definitely been here before.*

Ring: ... *looks lost in her thoughts*

Ashuro: ...whatever that weird energy is its definitely coming from inside that palace.

Rocko: The others should be close by now; I'll send out the tracking signal so they know exactly where we are *activates a gadget that begins beeping*

Kevin: *stares at Ring as Rocko explains* Yeah yeah, just...do what you can..... *places a hand on Ring's back* you alright, Ring?

Ring: I...I've definitely been here before. I can't b-believe it, this p-place was my home...

Kevin: Yeah.....I learned of it just recently too....it feels like a fairy tale story, doesn't it? Or a well written manga with complex characters, give or take...

Ring: I know, r-right? ^w^ ...I'm s-sorry for not c-coming to you about all of this. W-When Grin and Artisha t-told me that story I f-felt all kinds of things I n-n-never felt before. Feelings of anger, rage, wrath; I just wanted to hurt this Shiro Gecko for all of the hurt he caused me. W-Why was that? Is there s-something wrong with m-me?

*From what Ring had just described Kevin identified that feeling as the desire of revenge.*

Kevin: The desire for revenge. You want him to pay for what he did to your family. This place. It's an understandable feeling....I've felt it before as well. It can be over something small and trivial. Say, you want revenge on a guy who beat you in a game, by beating him in the same game, right? But over the course of human history, there has been bloodshed over bigger matters of revenge....land, riches, family. In this specific scenario that we find us in now.....I at least want Shiro to pay for the lives he took, with his own life...you might have a different look on the situation, but I want to completely do that guy in..... Remember though, revenge isn't almost never the answer. That's your lesson for today.

Ring: *nods in understanding*

*The palace doors open and out of them comes a large man in a blue jumpsuit. He had snake-like eyes, a green and yellow mullet and build that suggested that he was a bit fat but muscular at the same time. It was the Mad King himself: Shiro Gecko.*

Ashuro: Looks like the big boss himself has come to meet us.

Shiro: *smirks* Welcome to the greatest island on this planet: my kingdom, Slumber Gigas!

To be continued...

  1. I had a feeling about that on Ring.

    I wish we have a quest story like this one together someday. =)

    1. We could definitely have one. I was thinking of a chapter where Marius and Aluma's kids along with some other kids come to save Marius from something from his mysterious past that Benjamin Koco would later be able to take advantage of.
