Shark

I start to think of the possible consequences. I look at all the possible sides to see what we could do. OK. I could distract it like I did with the last boss and you can strike and weaken the armor. We should be able to weaken it fast enough to make it spawn the children. At that point is when you can focus on killing the kids while I entertain the boss. If we focus on killing the scorpions before the boss eats them then we can kill it fairly easily. I look up out of my train of thought and turned my gaze towards Night.

I started thinking of our plan of attack and sat at the table resting my chin on my hands. Ok so our main focus would be shifted to the little Scorpions. I started thinking of a plan to deal with the children but making sure that the boss doesn't intervene. Here is what I'm thinking, I can distract the boss since my shield combo is near impenetrable. I also gain HP over the course of its use. I will be able to survive and keep busy to give you time to kill the scorpions before she eats them. How does that sound to you? I asked awaiting his thoughts of improvement or the ok.

Shark let out a little chuckle. He glanced over at his friend and turned away and continued walking straight. Hehe... Nothing Ryu. It had no meaning. He said. They finally got the the restaurant and looked over the menu. Well I heard that this place is know for their BBQ so I'm going to have the BBQ Smoked sandwich. Sounds tasty. I looked at the other too, eager to see what they are going to have.

I soon got my food and started eating so I can turn my focus back to beating this game. I started thinking about strategies that could be useful in combat. I need to know strengths and weaknesses of as amny people I can gather so we can clear this floor. I said to myself as I tried to peace things together. Hey Night, That message you got, did it contain anything about this floor's Boss? I'm trying to piece some things together. I said with the kind of look that you get when someone is thinking hard about one thing. Recently I have been trying to think about the best combos that would work t

I was in the final battle on the 100th floor and was suddenly forced into a black hole. At that moment, I heard Night call my name. Huh? What? Sorry i kinda zoned out. I guess I will take a Torta and a side of Pozole. I have these in the real world and I love them. I always wanted to have one here. I said as I remembered my friends back home. I wonder what they are doing right now. They might not even know about my situation right now. I said to myself and thus getting lost in another deep thought.

I suddenly realized that the man who jumped in wasn't so random. He seemed like a... nice... guy. I thought to myself as I heard Night ask me about food. Yea that sounds fine. I have heard about that city by the way. Its said to be a really nice place. I'm glad we get to be the first ones there. I said as I followed night into the restaurant. I wounder what I'm going to order. I haven't really had a good meal since the 4th floor.

Man it's hot up here. A voice comes from behind. I take of my armor and end up walking around with just a tank top on. I come up and grab Night on the shoulder. Hey, how about we go get some food. I'm starving after that crazy boss battle. Wheere did that weird guy come from anyways? I asked with a puzzled look. I wonder how he even got in. I guess we will never know. So pick where you want to eat. I'll buy this round. I said happily. I hope where ever he chooses has air conditioning.

Shar heard a familiar voice from the distance. Well, what do know. If it isn't Ryu! What brings you down here? Shark said as he greeted his pal. Shark grew a big smile on his face, remembering the reason he came to this floor. All of a sudden Shark burst into laughter then turned towards his friend. Hey Ryu... Shark said as he grabbed his friend by the shoulder. I told you that I would catch you. He said as he brought him to dinner with them.

Shark looked at her with a poker face. How is he gonna dance to this if he doesn't even know the moves? So many questions have come to Shark now. Since when did he know how to dance? He looks over at Cici again. I may not be the best dancer so don't hate me. I can't dance in the real world so don't expect much from me. He said hoping not to disappoint Cici.

Shark looks around and then hears a giant uproar from the crowd. Shark lets out a big sigh. Guess I have to now. Can't disappoint all these people. Now can we? Shark gets up and takes of his jacket so he can move faster. He turns on the music. Let's get started shall we?

Shark smiled as the crowd continued to cheer. I thought that was supposed to be just for me. He said jokingly. Shark looked at the large sum of people that gathered around to see the dance. That was a great dance. I will never forget that and I guess these people wont either. How bout an encore! Shark said loudly so the crowd would here him. All of a sudden the was a giant roar from the crowd.

Shark was pleased to see the girl so happy. I don't want anything. Take it as a token of friendship. Shark said as he started walking out of the store. Alright! What's next on the list of fun things to do? He asked Cici hoping she would give her opinion.

Shark smiled as he remembered his own brother. Happy times when your siblings care about you. Shark looked over at Cici. Sounds like your brother really cared for you. He wouldn't have done that if he didn't. Shark said with a smile on his face while looking at the key chain. How about I buy you this then? Since it makes you happy. Shark said as he took hold of the item.

Shark sat with a sad look on his face. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up. Hey! I have an idea. Let's go into town. I'll buy you something that makes you happy. Shark said trying to change the subject as he got up from the bench.

Shark sat down by Cici and tried to cheer her up. I'm sorry that you didn't have good terms with your family before you came in here. Maybe once you get out, you could fix things relationships with them. i'm sure that right now they are worried about you. Shark said with a half smile on his face. I bet once you get back, they will be better with you. He said with a big smile.

Shark continued to bang on the door. No response. He looked down to find a room key. He picked it up and entered the room. Huh. He said as he looked around. Shark saw that the window was open. That punk must have known I was coming. Well, back on the road.

Shark smiled at Cici as her tears vanished. Shark remembered the garden at home and what kind of flowers they had. So many different kinds and colors. They really do. This place reminds me of home.

Shark smiled as Cici bumped into him. She dropped her rose and it exploded into a million polygons. Shark began looking around and found another rose. He went over to get it and brought it back. Here. Don't cry. He said apologetic to Cici. I found another rose. Here, it's all yours. He said handing the flower to her.

I walked around the entire day and finally found a trace of Ryu. I turned on my tracking skill and saw his tracks. So this is where you're hiding. I knew I would find you. I continued to follow the tracks and ended up at an Inn. I entered and went to the front desk and ask if they have seen a man dressed in all black and they give me the room number. I find the room and begin knocking. Ryu! Open up! I know your there. I said loudly into the door hoping he would here me.

Shark noticed the blush and smiled. It's not a problem. I like adventuring more with people instead of alone. At least in a group, you have people who got you back. Shark looked away and started walking. I wonder what other good items are on this floor. I'm always ready for all kinds of adventures. Shark said happily.

Shark look at Cici with a sad face. I'm sorry. Well hey... Look on the bright side, you are here, alive, having fun. What more could you ask for?Shark said with energy. Hey why don't we walk through this field some more and admire the pretty flowers? Shark said trying to change the topic.

Shark's smile slightly vanished as he remembered the day he put on the nerve gear. Sorry, I remember the day I logged on. I just finished breakfast with my brother and sister. I played with them shortly after before I logged in. My brother went to play with his friends, and my sister left with hers. I remember their smiles before they left. I will return to play with them when i get the chance. Shark says emotionally.

Shark smiled at Cici. Yea. These flowers are beautiful aren't they. I have a bunch of flowers like these in the real world. Shark said happily. There has to be another reason on why she is here. What is it? Shark says to himself.

Shark notices the girl from before and goes to talk to her. Hey, Cici! Fancy meeting you here. What are you after this time?

Shark stood and laughed.I know just what the kid is planning. I used to be a ninja and I was the best. I know all the secrets. He can run but he can't hide. Shark laughed like a mad man and left the room.
