《World Jumper》Training 2 Part 4

Advertisement

Jet stood up in the cell and took a closer look at the cuffs. There were symbols carved into the cuffs. He could make them out quite easily with his new ability. He could see them absorbing the ambient magic from the air, and the lines were glowing clearly. So he rubbed at them and found they had been carved into the metal. Looking up at the wall, he noticed the same symbols on the stone walls.

"I wonder if I could?" Jet thought aloud as he lifted his hand. Then started to rub the metal cuffs against the symbols on the wall. Sure enough, they stopped absorbing ambient magic when broken. With a smile, Jet broke all the symbols on the stone wall around the metal chains. He put a foot on the wall and, enhancing his body, pulled. The wall started to crack. Jet raised an eyebrow in surprise. That was not what he had expected. So he put his foot back on the wall then started to pull, but this time added his other foot as well. With one final pull, the chains broke from the wall with a loud clang.

Moments later, another guard ran to the cell. "What's going on in," he kind of stopped talking as he looked at the chains on the ground. Then slowly looked up at Jet.

"Oops," Jet rubbed his head, trying to look ashamed. But the grin he had said otherwise. It did not take long for the King and everyone else to get called on Jet.

"Well, you are certainly full of surprises. How did you break these chains out of the wall." Garent looked at Jet with a raised eyebrow. Jet went into detail on what he had done half the night.

"Hold on. You learned how to get your magic to enhance your eyes. But that doesn't explain how even if you broke those symbols on the wall. I don't see how you pulled them from the wall anyways." Todly looked at the giant bolts pulled from the wall.

"I went over that. Using the body enhancing, I pulled really hard."

"Jet, that's not what I meant. Even if I used that spell, I'm not confident I could pull these out of the wall." Todly held up the giant bolts.

"If it's any consolation, I tore a couple of muscles doing that." Jet rubbed at his arms. He was sure there was muscle damage. "What I want to know is where these symbols come from?" As he looked at them, both Rick and Todly looked at Garent.

"All I can say is they were given to me as a promise," Garent said with a face that said, no matter how many times you ask, he won't tell.

"Ok, it's late, and I'm tired. This is my time away from the oddity that is Jet. I bid you all a good night." Rick said and walked off.

"Guess I can't surprise Rick anymore." Jet smiled at them both.

"Right, I'm with Rick. It's late. We can talk about your punishment for breaking my cell in the morning." Garent stretched and walked off also.

"Jet, head off to your room. Don't need you breaking another cell." Todly half yawned while talking before walking off.

Jet just stood there wondering what in the world the punishment would be. Until the guard on duty asked him to leave. When he got back to his room, he figured he wouldn't sleep. Of course, he didn't. All he could do was think about what the punishment for breaking a cell would be. Not that he had actually broken out, but he felt that didn't matter. By the time he had started to fall asleep, Relo had come into his room.

"Can I help you?" Jet asked with a little bit of concern.

"It's morning." Relo tilted her head in confusion.

"Crap, I got no sleep at all." Jet groaned and rolled out of bed. So he would just use magic to keep moving. Not that he would need it for a few days. But he always felt drained if he had no sleep.

"Yeah, you had a busy night," Relo said as she set the washbowl down.

"Great, so everyone knows about the cell." He groaned out.

"Yeah, I think his Majesty is quite proud of your progress. Your new little trick with your eyes was a big topic." Relo explained with a grin.

"You've already spoken with Garent?"

"Of course, his Majesty got up early to brag on you. Mom said she has never seen him take a liking to someone so fast." She turned to Jet with his new clothes for the day, with a note on top. Then walked out without saying another word. Jet unfolded it to see what it said.

Dear Jet.

I am inviting you to afternoon tea. Meet me in the gardens at one.

From the princess of pranks, Ileana.

"Really, she even calls herself the princess of pranks." Jet muttered while getting dressed to start his day, which got boring after being benched for tearing some of his muscles, which was healed after Roan got up late in the morning. Since he had been out most of the night helping in town, and now Jet is sitting across from Ileana drinking tea with Relo serving them.

"So let's hurry and plan our break-in of Uncle Rick's room." Ileana sipped some tea and gave Jet a questioning look.

"You want to plan in the middle of the castle?" Jet shook his head.

"Best place to plan. Nobody will think that's what we're talking about. We're just having some tea." She took another sip.

Jet sighed, "I don't know how to get into that room. I've even tried the window. Rick was in bed early that night."

"Right, that's why we came up with a plan without you." Ileana smiled and got up. To Jet's horror, Relo grabbed him, and they started to walk over to the castle. After taking a few corners, they ended up in one of the rooms Jet hadn't been in, and there were tied-up servants.

Jet looked over to Ileana. "Why are they tied up." He pointed at the two servants.

"They clean Master Rick's room in about forty minutes." Relo handed them both some water.

"Also, where did Ileana go." Jet pointed back at the clearly now empty of Ileana room.

"To get your clothes," Relo said as she fed the two girls.

Jet opened his mouth then shut it. 'Wait, getting my clothes?' He questioned in his mind. Then looked back down to the two servants tied up. Then back up at Relo, who was now trying to hide a smile. Then back down to the two tied up. Something in his gut started to drop as a realization hit him, and when he heard the door open behind him. Jet began to run toward the one on the other end of the room. To his horror, Relo had already grabbed him and put him into a hold, stripping him.

"Hold still. If you rip that dress, Marley will be upset." Ileana frowned at Jet.

"Seriously, I am not being dressed like a girl." He growled while trying to get away.

Ileana dumped a bottle of liquid in Jet's hair as soon as he was in his underwear. "Hold still. I don't want to get the dye in your eyes." To Jet's dismay, he held still while Ileana worked on his hair and watched as Relo started to dye Ileana's hair.

"Can I at least get the gist of this plan.?" Giving in, Jet just waited.

"Simple, we walk into Uncle Rick's room as the cleaners." Jet was about to say something, but Ileana spoke back up. "Now, the hard part is the guards. We will look close to like Marley and Ulene, but our voices will not match."

"And we tend to chat with the guards." Relo smiled at Jet. Marley and Ulene both nodded.

"Ok, but the major problem." Jet pointed at himself. "I'm not a girl."

"You and Marley are the same height. With a little makeup and this wig, we happened to have got last night. We can make this work." Ileana got done with Jet and helped Relo with her hair.

Jet sighed and looked at Marley again, then pointed. "I don't have the same parts you girls have."

Marley looked at Jet, offended. "Hey, don't call boobs parts."

"That's just rude," Ulene added.

"Sorry." Jet said, defeated.

"Here, for your parts that are missing." Relo threw a bra-type thing at Jet.

After finally giving in to his single most embarrassing moment, Jet dressed and let the girls do some makeup work. He felt like a doll, being dressed up by little girls. Once they had done, they pulled a mirror out from behind a shelf. Why he was inevitably for this moment, before they set it down in front of him, he closed his eyes.

Relo smacked him on the back of the head. "Don't be like that. Open your eyes and take a look."

Jet hesitantly opened his eyes and looked at himself. Ileana's face was looking over his shoulder with a smile. "You look beautiful." She said with a giggle. Jet just slumped and looked at himself in the servant's dress. Unfortunately, it did look good on him, but he saw one problem.

"Our eyes don't match." Jet looked down at Marley. She had amber eyes.

Ileana reached around him, handing over a small box. "Some contacts to change your eye color." She then backed off.

Jet started to turn around when he realized Ileana was getting undressed now. So he stopped then put the contacts in his eyes. "So what's the plan if the guards get too close. The disguise might work from a distance but up close. I have my serious doubts. Or talk to us for that matter."

"Starters, no plan ever works perfectly. You need to improvise on the spot. Trust me. I took the same lessons as you." Relo said from behind Jet.

After waiting for Ileana to get done getting dressed, jet just tried not to let himself fall into despair. If he gets caught by Rick, he would never live this down. Of course, if seen, everyone would make fun of him. So no matter what, he would not get caught. Then he looked at the two girls tied up and sighed. No matter what he did, he is going to be doomed.

Looking down at the girls, he gave his best-begging face. "Please don't tell anyone about this if we succeed."

Relo suddenly had a fit of coughs. "That may be hard, mother already knows. Do you think I could get away with this without getting permission? For one, the castle would go on high alert if Marley and Ulene were found like this. Now you just go to jail."

"Alright, let's get going," Ileana said with way too much enthusiasm.

"Yes, let's get this over with." Jet replied flatly. All of the girls started to stare at Jet.

"Ok, before you guys head out, let me talk to Jet," Marley said, and the others walked to the other room. "Look, I get that you didn't plan this. Obviously, you do not like this plan at all. However, Princess Ileana and Relo put a lot of effort into this plan for you." She walked up to him and poked him on the chest. "You need to cheer up or at least act happy, or this plan will fail without a doubt. Do you get me?" Marley would have put her hands on her hips, but they were still tied up.

Jet stared at her then tried a small smile. "You're right. I am being too negative, thank you."

Marley just coughed as she turned away. "Do that, and you'll pull this off. You looked pretty cute with that smile."

Jet started to laugh lightly before walking to the door and turning to look back at Marley. "Really, thank you." When he walked through the door, he looked over to Ileana. "Let's do this."

They walked down the halls towards Rick's room. Ileana poked him along the way. "Can you stop with the creepy smile? No offense might be better if you don't smile like that."

"Oh, I hope you got a good prank for Rick. Cause he totally has it coming for what I am doing." Jet then started to run magic through his eyes. Maybe he could see the guards ahead of time.

When they turned the corner, the guards were directly on the other side of the hall. Rick's door was in the center. The guards waved to them and started to walk over. Jet did not want to talk with them. It would be pretty obvious they were not Marley and Ulene. Waving back, he started to cast a spell. Witch was quite interesting watching his magic flow through the air creating a small rock behind them. As soon as it fell and hit the ground, the guards turned around. Jet and Ileana kept walking over to the door, but before going in, he tapped on Ileana. "Ask if everything is ok."

Ileana looked towards the guards before walking in and asked in a soft voice. "Is everything good, Rodges?"

"Yeah, most likely just Jet sneaking around. It looks like he will be spending the night in the cell. Maybe, he did break it last night." The guards started to look around as Jet and Ileana went ahead into the room.

Ileana started to walk forward when Jet grabbed her shoulder. "Don't move." He hadn't stopped using his magic in his eyes. Rick most definitely booby-trapped the room. They should have questioned Marley and Ulene. Surely they had known.

"What's wrong?" Ileana asked after a few seconds.

"A slight misstep in the plan. We should have questioned Marley and Ulene. I bet they know how to work around these traps." Jet tried to explain.

"Nah, they wouldn't have talked. The servants are trained for that, even if we had done a fake torture." Ileana relaxed and let Jet keep looking around.

Jet left Ileana's side and grabbed a few items around the room. He marked the areas that needed to be stayed out of. "Ok, stay away from those areas." Ileana nodded to Jet and moved over to Rick's bed.

After a few minutes of looking around, Ileana broke the silence. "So, why do you wear your sword on your back."

Distracted Jet looked over to Ileana. "What?"

"Any time I see you wear a sword, it's always on your back." Ileana finished up whatever she had been doing.

"Hard to explain. In my world, it's a clipping issue. I'll explain sometime later when we got time." When in his virtual reality set, you didn't have the sword on the waste. When you reached for the sword, you would grab a potion. So he always wore the sword on his back in games.

"I'm going to start cleaning up. How much longer do you need?" Ileana asked.

"I don't know. I've found three items that could be it." Jet threw three scrolls at Ileana.

"I see, so you have multiple scrolls. Did Uncle Rick say item or scrolls?" Ileana looked over at Jet.

Jet thought back, "I'm pretty sure he said item."

"Put these back where you found them. They're tricks. Now he said item and not items?" Ileana questioned further.

"Just item, go figure he would do something like this." He complained and put the scrolls back where he had found them.

"Well, I can't help you find the item. It will be something that only you will know is right. I will keep cleaning. It will be suspicious if the room doesn't get cleaned." Ileana got back to work.

Jet, in the meantime, went over the room again. What could he be looking for? He had no clue. But he was sure that Rick would be up to no good. That train of thought wouldn't help, so he slowly went over everything just to be sure. While doing so, Jet had started to help Ileana clean the room. Mainly around the magic so Ileana wouldn't set off the traps. Then something caught his eye, and Ileana was about to pick it up. "Wait, don't touch that."

Ileana just sighed. "Great, another trap." She was starting to get irritated with her Uncle.

"No, this is the item." Jet picked it up cautiously and stowed it in his pocket.

"It looks like a piece of trash." Ileana frowned.

After they had finished cleaning up the room, they had the fun of escaping afterward. It was utterly boring. The guards had already walked by the room when they left. So they just waved and headed on their way. Which meant Jet had to pry his clothes from Ileana before finding Rick. He had to point out she couldn't prank him for a week. To learn that hiding his clothes wasn't a prank. It was just messing with him. So he had the unfortunate walk back to his room dressed as a girl.

When Jet finally found Rick, he handed over the item. "Is this what you wanted?"

Rick's lips formed a grin as he picked up the small stick. "So you managed to get into my room without getting caught. I'm proud of you."

"Wow, thanks." Jet thought it was well deserved after what he had gone through.

Rick put a hand on Jet's shoulder and smiled. "I guess now you can test the new cell being built today. This is not the item I am looking for. Just a simple trick for you."

The following day Jet was in high spirits even after spending some time in the cells. Ileana's little prank she had pulled turned Rick purple for the next few days.
