《Rogue (Rogue #1)》Chapter 17
Advertisement
“Ladies and gentlemen and others,” Howie announced, as they all awaited the arena to sound. They were competing in the Land of Illusions today and it was the start of the second round, and memories of last night flashed through her mind in a twisting motion. How was Paradox able to make the SCOPE world real without the SCOPElenses? Why did that one guy get injured in the real game? It was impossible.
But she was considering what ‘impossible’ really meant.
The whole synthetic atoms thing freaked her out. So someone could just do that? Make a new reality like it was nothing. It basically ran up to the laws of all physics and mooned it. Something about this felt fake like it was simply to fool people for amusement.
Rogue had been up nearly all night trying to wrap their heads around it, re-watching all the footage and analyzing it. They researched the symbol, finding nothing. It was at 2:00 am that Theo practically ordered them to bed so that they’d be fresh for SCOPE in the morning. It wasn’t real and that’s what Eniola convinced herself. But the more Eniola thought about it, the more it seemed likely.
“Today we’ll be in the Land Of Illusion where nothing and everything is real,” Howie explained. “This land works differently. Outside of the exterior of the castle, you will be playing individually on your level. This game will focus on strategy and mental skills to figure out the various clues. We start in 5…4…”
The countdown ended and the sound buzzed and the arena once again swirled into purple skies as the Illusion took its place. It was a shimmering white palace with spires that stretched into the sky. Teams surrounded the palace, and right in the middle, shining through the window of the throne room, was the disk.
For a moment, Eniola searched her inventory before picking out the blue and red coloured cube. Suddenly, a glow coloured her body for a brief moment. She quickly looked down and checked her avatar. Did it activate? She guessed it did since it wasn’t an active power-up. She sucked in a breath and looked forward.
The Land of Illusion was where everything is and isn’t. It was probably one of the most confusing words in the SCOPEverse. So much new information came in the game and you had to decode on the spot to find the disk and the world constantly shifted and you had to navigate.
The teams immediately started running to the castle so that they could be the first ones to have access to the throne room, so open and naked with the disk right there. And everyone clashed instantly. Eniola immediately dove for the huge crowd, trying to weave through so that she could climb like the other teams were.
Eniola analyzed it again and felt it would be too obvious that the disk was right out there. Just right there.
And Howie didn’t do the obvious thing.
Eniola activated her cloaking mode and quickly scurried into the castle and ran to the edge of the moderate castle so now that she was facing a sidewall. She jumped onto the castle pillar and began scrunching herself up onto it. She then jumped onto the pointy castle top with the window wide open and swung herself in. At that moment she reappeared into life.
Eniola landed on both her feet like a cat, then rose. She was now face-to-face with the disk. Quickly some more people came in, and Eniola sighed in relief when she saw Lucia and Theo appear through the window. She tip-toed against the marble floors slowly, like she was performing some heroic heist. When she was close enough, she reached for the disk.

Her hand went right through it, and Eniola tripped forward. She regained her balance and tried again, but again hit thin air.
“Eniola!” Iris’s voice came through. “Current state?”
“The disk is a hologram,” Eniola grumbled, trying again and it still went through. “It’s a hologram.”
“Then where is the disk?” Jay said. “It has to be somewhere in the Land of Illusion.”
“Since this is the Land of Illusion, anything that is isn’t,” Theo recited. “This clue might have something to do with where the real disk is though.”
“It’s an illusion land, so this must have to do with an illusion,” Jay grumbled. “That narrows it down.”
“This must be a decoy then,” Lucia said, walking up to analyze it. “Of course, the disk wouldn’t just be there.”
However, about of jagged and searing flames flooded at the disk. Then a sudden gust of wind rushed against her body and threw her down. She looked up and a magnificent dragon was flying up in the air below the tall and wide ceiling, flapping wings that created gusts of air and smoke steaming from its red nostrils.
“Never mind!” Eniola yelled through to her teammates, heart hammering. The dragon began circling above her, coughing out gusts of fire at her. She quickly rolled behind herself to avoid being burned to a crisp in the game.
“There’s a dragon!” Eniola told them. “It’s breathing fire at me!” She drew an arrow and shot it at the dragon. It ducked and shot fire at her. Eniola jumped away.
“I need backup!” she yelled to them. “Now!” She shot more arrows in the bow, and when one finally hit the dragon, it dissolved like nothing. Another illusion.
Then the remaining two teammates slipped into the windows.
“You’re finally here!” Eniola said. “Finally!”
Immediately Theo ran up and swung his axe at the dragon, who dodged and missed, then blasted him with fire. The rest of Rogue joined into battle, swinging their weapons at it and running from the flames.
“Surround it!” Lucia said, and they did. But then it leaped into the air, sending fire at them. Then Theo stopped in the middle, “Everyone stop battling.”
“And get smitten by a dragon?” Jay asked. “Hell no!”
“Everyone stop! I have an idea and you don’t want to have to respawn when I reveal it,” Theo commanded, and they all dropped their weapons and stopped battling, and suddenly the dragon stopped and rose into the air nose-up. It then dived and blocked the disk.
“It’s not here to battle!” Theo explained. “It wants to protect the disk!”
“But why?” Iris asked. “It’s fake.”
“I think…” Lucia trailed off to think. “It’s a clue. Maybe there’s something that can help us find the disk. It doesn’t want to fight, but it wants something. To lead us somewhere.”
“So then what do we do?” Jay asked.
“We ask for it,” Eniola said. She focused on the dragon, who was draped protectively over the disk. “What do you want?”
The room went quiet until a halo of light surrounded the dragon, then quickly disappeared. It represented the O symbol for the inventory.
Everyone opened their inventories at once. Eniola scanned over everything like power-ups and weapons and yeons, but one thing Eniola hadn’t noticed before had appeared. Eniola called the purple orb to her hand, then looked up at her teammates, who all held the same orb. Its smooth surface reflected the light from the disk.

Jay immediately took his orb and held it up to the dragon in the offering. But then a stream of fumes attacked him and he dodged away, and the dragon looked more riled up than before as it began spewing fire again at them.
“Bad idea!” Jay cried, running. “Bad idea!” Eniola took off in the other direction, before the dragon’s rough, scaly tail curled into the air before it swooped down in one thick lash, sending them flying out of the window, screaming and yelling.
Eniola and the rest of them all hit the ground with a loud thud. An off-key chorus of groans came from the five of them who were now sprawled out behind the palace.
Energy 25%
Eniola closed the notification and began rubbing her head and blinking herself back to stability. She didn’t feel the hard ground, rather something soft under her. Eniola immediately turned, to see none other than Jay sprawled beneath her.
Their eyes met and Eniola shouted and launched herself off of him so hard, she rolled down the mountain the castle was on.
Her body hit a tree, by the creek surrounding it, where she lay in a flustered mess heart beating. Why had she reacted that way? And of course, the dragon had to dump her on him.
“Eniola,” she twisted to see a confused and smirking Jay peering at her from the top of the hill. “You good?”
“Yeah,” she said awkwardly, flashing an okay sign.
“You were on quite a roll there,” he joked, wiggling his eyebrows, and she rolled her eyes.
His legs started running as he came down the hill, and he loomed over her before grabbing her arm and pulling her up.
Eniola was now on eye contact level with his chest and she looked up at him as his eyes stared into hers. She pulled away from his closeness and somehow coughed.
“Hey, you guys!” Iris called from the top. “We have a competition to win.”
They trudged back to the hill where the other three were waiting for them.
“Now that we’re all here, let’s evaluate,” Theo started. “The dragon didn’t want the orb. But it’s weird that it randomly showed up in all of their inventories. It has to have some use.”
“But what?” Lucia asked what was all on their minds. “Everything means something now.”
“It’s the Unity Orb,” Iris explained. “It’s not just an orb, it holds knowledge. In the land of Illusion, you must find an Illusion Guardian to read the info.”
“The problem is,” Jay said, “Where do we find a guardian?” Eniola looked at the orb in her hand again and analyzed it. She realized it wasn’t transparent anymore, but a small image had taken its place. But it didn’t look whole. Her teammates followed what she did.
“I see something,” Lucia was the first to say.
“Me too,” both Jay and Theo said at the same time.
“Me three,” Iris said. “But it looks incomplete.”
“That’s what I thought,” Eniola said. “Maybe it’s one big picture. Wait, put them together.” Quickly, the team put their orbs together and immediately they flashed before an image burst up. A tentacle.
“Where is just a large tentacle?” Jay asked.
“The Ocean Village!” Eniola exclaimed. “That’s where we go!”
The ground split and revealed a path for them, and they began walking beside the flowing creek and through the mystical forest, the trees emerged too. She saw the faint outline of houses and a couple of small buildings from afar, which meant she was probably close.
The creek was supposed to be flowing, but as they went a gurgling sound began emanating from the waters. It was still and quiet, like a little distraction until it began gurgling.
“Y’all hear that?” Jay asked. “It’s coming from the river.”
“I thought it was coming from the grass,” Eniola responded sarcastically when a creature leapt from the water and attacked her. She recognized the snarling sound as a hydro goblin lurking beneath the waters. She slipped under it and shot an arrow with her bow, exploding them into yeons. More started emerging from the creek and everyone took charge of it. Iris ran into the river slightly, bobbing up and down before shooting at the ones that respawned from the river. Jay and Lucia slid out to the opposite sides and snuck up from them quietly from the sides before carrying out a full-scale ambush, taking most of them out.
Eniola drew arrows from her back and propped them into the bow that shot at them. Most of them were slow and lacked a sense of direction, and resorted to jumping attacks to see prey.
A few of them came at her from the side, and she immediately flipped over and shot multiple arrows at them simultaneously before landing on the ground. Theo came from her side again and joined her in fighting them.
She hopped onto her bike she called from her inventory and drove away with the rest of Rogue, to the village. They lurched around the corner to stop, to see identical stone brick houses with red-tiled roofs lining the street. The path stopped as the creek ran down right into the middle. Aside from one stray boat, this place seemed to be a ghost town.
“Hello,” Iris called. “It’s Rogue here!” But no one came or answered. They climbed onto one porch and began banging on the house. No one opened.
“Anyone here?” Lucia tried but was met with silence. “I think we’re in the wrong place.”
“No,” Eniola corrected. “We’re doing the wrong thing.” She called up her inventory and took out the shiny purple orb. She held it to the town, and the flash of the sun hit the ray.
Slowly, it seemed like the image crumbled as the houses and the building and even the village started crumbling and falling before their very eyes. Then from the rubble, another landmass started rising and taking its place and cascading a shadow over the five of them.
Rows of grand houses filled the area, bigger versions of the drab ones they saw. Then, at the far top, a cascading waterfall poured beneath a great kingdom.
“Woah!” Jay said. Suddenly, a tall, elfin figure in a long red cloak flashed into view, and they jumped back. She was impossibly beautiful, with deep dark skin and pale green eyes. Her sharp, pointed ears were pulled back and her eyes narrow.
“We seek the guardian,” Eniola asked. “The orb led us here.” The elf’s face curled into disgust.
“You’ve come to the right place,” she said brightly, “You have the sacred orb, a rare relic I can help you with.”
“Alright,” Theo said excitedly. “So what are you going to do?”
She looked at him with a blank stare.
“I mean, thank you,” Theo corrected himself.
“Before I take any action, I ask in return,” she stated. “A great creature has been terrorizing my village and we need help.”
“So what do you need us to do?” Lucia asked.
“I need you to slay this creature,” the guardian asked. “In return, I will unlock the secrets of the orb for you.”
Rogue all looked at each other quizzically. Theo was the first to speak up, “I mean how bad can it be?”
“With our luck, terrible,” Jay told him. “But do we have another choice?”
“We don’t,” Eniola responded. She faced the guardian again. “We agree.”
“I’m glad,” she said. She began levitating and ascended into pixels into the air. The world between them began swirling and warping with them in it until it stopped abruptly, and began drizzling over them. Eniola realized they were standing in front of the great waterfall inside the palace.
“Where is it?” Jay asked, and at that moment, a large roaring came from the water shooting gusts of water at them. A snarling monster rose from the waterfall, tentacles sliding everywhere. Its head was thick and bulbous, with bulging black eyes and scaly skin.
“That’s what we need to defeat?” Jay yelped. “Yikes!”
Eniola drew an arrow and fired. A loud cry came from the creature as the arrow hit its mark. It wasn’t enough. Lucia uncovered her crossover knives from her pack and leapt courageously into the sea.
She stuck one blade into the beast’s flesh before swinging herself up from the blade and sticking the other one in its flesh and pulling it out, climbing up it in a repeated motion. She then swung over it from side to side and then quickly struck the second blade into the creature’s eye, before it snarled, as black liquid oozed from its eye.
They all jumped into the water to assist Lucia. Eniola scrambled up the cliffside and began climbing sideways, away from the distraction the others were causing. Once she was close enough to the beast, she loaded multiple arrows in her bow and shot them all at once.
Most of them hit the beast, who screamed in agony. Its thick head twisted to face her, and Eniola dove into the water to avoid its wrath.
Eniola swam back up and floated easily through the water. The orb fell from her pocket, and she quickly grabbed it before it floated into nothingness. It began glowing in her grasp as she came closer to the monster.
It turned and looked her dead in the eye, with Lucia still hanging from where she’d stabbed it. It stretched a tentacle towards her, headed straight for the orb.
“I think it wants it,” she said over comms.
“Well, don’t give it to that thing,” Jay replied.
“It glows every time it comes near it,” Eniola said. “I don’t think that this monster is meant to be battled. It needs the orb.” Eniola reached higher while in the water, and dropped it into the monster’s grasp. The rest of Rogue gave up them as well.
Everything fell still for a moment.
Until the beast started radiating blue light. Slowly the tentacles shrivelled, and the creature began shrinking. Lucia fell from its eye into the waterfall. Blue energy began swirling around the creature and sparkling around it. The energy spun faster and faster until a blue shining figure was revealed, wrapped in the blue light.
“You’ve returned my orb,” it said, echoing voice booming. Suddenly, Eniola felt her body being lifted from the water and into the air. The other teammates began looking the same as well, as they all floated back onto the platform.
If it could get any brighter, the elf guardian without warning emerged from the cliff overlooking the water and pushed through us and jumped into blue beams of light.
The reaction was like a supernova, exploding with colours and light. When everything cleared, a spark of blue and white floated in the air, before a tall clear figure appeared.
“Thank you for reuniting me with my other half!” it exclaimed, looking greater Eniola’s mouth hung open in awe at the scene. It felt extraordinary, even though this was still a game.
“And now my promise to you. The enemy creature values the red, stored upon the flickering. For every quintus of an hour, enter the void,” it said vaguely, before disappearing.
“That was sick,” Jay was the first one to say. “That felt like some mind-trip!”
“The enemy creature values the red, stored upon the flickering. For every quintus of an hour, enter the void,” Eniola muttered to herself faintly, pacing around the area.
“What is she doing?” Jay asked, pointing to her.
“Leave her alone, this is how she figures out stuff,” Lucia explained. “She’ll help us decode this into simple language.”
“The hell does ‘quintus’ mean?” Eniola asked.
“It means fifth in Latin,” Lucia said.
“You still remember it?” Eniola admitted. “I almost slept through that entire class. But I didn’t.”
“So that’s every fifth of an hour,” Jay said. “I’m not good at math or school, but that should mean every twelve minutes.”
“So that leaves us with ‘the enemy creature values the red, stored upon the flickering,’” Eniola concluded. “Anyone have an idea?” They all stood awkwardly, thinking. However, Jay seemed like his head was in the clouds because he seemed to be focused on a patch of air.
“Jay?” Eniola went up to him and went on her tiptoes and waved her hand in front of his face. “What are you staring at?”
“Did you guys see a mountain over there?” he asked, pointing.
“No,” Lucia said.
“I swore there was a mountain over there a few minutes ago,” Jay said. “It was all big.”
Eniola turned to everyone else. “Did you see it?” They all shook their heads.
“You’re wrong,” she told him.
“I know what I saw,” he insisted. “There was a mountain over there.”
“It must be the Mandela effect,” Theo said.
“What’s that?” Iris asked.
“When people believe something happened that did not happen,” Lucia explained. “There are some weird conspiracies and pseudo-science in it. You have a computer in your brain, search it up.”
“Noted,” Iris said. “Jay, are you sure you’re seeing what you saw?”
“I’m sure it was there,” Jay said, growing more agitated. “It couldn’t have just flickered out of existence.”
“I mean this is the Land of Illusion,” Theo said.
“Where everything is and isn’t,” Jay finished for him. “I know.”
Such word choice. A lightbulb seemed to light to life above Eniola’s head. “Maybe it did?”
She mumbled. “The enemy creature values the red, stored upon the flickering…”
“Maybe there was a hypothetical mountain,” Eniola pondered. “One that flickers in and out of sight.”
“I knew you already agreed with me, shorty,” Jay teased suddenly in a change of mood and Eniola rolled her eyes.
“There’s something inside the mountain,” Eniola wondered, growing excited. “The enemy creature might be the dragon that threw us out of the castle because of the fake disk.”
“What?” Iris questioned.
“I said that maybe the dragon wants something, and the orbs guided us to it,” Eniola realized, bouncing in excitement. “And maybe it was in the mountain that disappeared.”
“When will it come back then?” Theo asked her.
Eniola searched through her brain. “Every twelve minutes!” Eniola exclaimed, feeling a serotonin boost from solving it. “Every twelve minutes the mountain flickers back to life and we can enter the void. If we can get in, we can find what the dragon wants!”
“You see, I’m right,” Jay said, smiling to himself. It was transferred to Eniola. It was kind of cute. He led them down to where the mountain should’ve been. If they were correct, which wasn’t guaranteed, the mountain should have appeared by now with the time that they had been waiting.
“It’s official,” Lucia called out, “Jay was seeing weird shit.”
“Was not,” Jay defended. “It was right here, Eniola figured out the clue.”
“Of course,” Lucia huffed, but then they were blasted backward abruptly, as light phased in front of them. Eniola squinted against the light, to see a pale violet mountain stretching into the sky in front of them. They all picked themselves up and stared in awe.
“What are we waiting for?” Theo exclaimed. “Let’s go!” They all walked to the mountain, and they walked right through it. The world went dark, and Eniola felt around and found smooth walls, like polished stone. Whistling slowly echoed through the mountain and rustled at their ears.
“Enter the void,” an ominous voice hissed loudly through the mountain. “Enter the void!”
“We are definitely in the right place,” Jay confirmed looking around. “I’m not crazy after all.”
They walked through the place, observing the dark caverns and places. There should be something red that the dragon wants, but so far everywhere was pitch black.
“What exactly are we looking for?” Iris whispered to Eniola.
“Something red,” she said, “The enemy creature values the red.” She repeated the phrase as they walked more ominously. Eniola walked before quickly losing her footing and falling. She let out a tremendous scream, quickly echoed by her teammates as they followed her in tripping into the void. They all hit the ground simultaneously and the sound of mixed groans echoed through the place.
“Why do we keep falling?” Jay groaned rolling upwards first.
“I don’t know,” Eniola huffed, rising to her feet, before being blinded by a searing burst of light.
The brightest red rubies Eniola had ever seen had been shimmering all over this place in stones, collecting around the cavern, creating their light.
Eniola gasped in awe. “Woah!”
“This is what the dragon wants,” Lucia confirmed. “Rubies are red.” Lucia walked over and reached out to touch them.
Suddenly a massive dragon popped out of the air, spitting fire at them. Eniola readied her arrow in the crossbow to attack.
“Another dragon?” Jay panted. “For what?”
The creature was threatening until it froze in midair then pixelated away revealing an elf behind it with a bow in hand.
“Thank you for coming to the rescue!” Eniola quickly said.
He pointed his bow and arrow to her, a flaming tip barely inches away. “I didn’t rescue you, peasant.” he spat. “I was defending my precious collection of rubies!”
“Don’t stab her!” Jay cut in, moving in front of her. “W-We would like something!”
“We would like something!” he mocked. “And what is that?”
“A ruby,” Jay stammered. It was funny to Eniola, seeing him nervous. “Just one.”
The sword now pointed to Jay, and he jolted. “And what makes you think you deserve my rubies?”
“For a quest,” Jay explained. “You have so many, I don’t see why you would need all of them and-
“Silence!” he yelled, cutting through the air. “Are you worthy?”
Jay started rambling. “I mean if we want to get into—”
“That was a trick question,” he interrupted. “You need to prove your worth.”
“And how do we do that?” Jay stammered.
“Bring me your smartest brethren,” he told us, and suddenly all eyes fell on Eniola.
“What?” she nervously shrugged.
“Eniola, between the four of us we all share one brain cell,” Theo looked at her hopefully and grabbed her shoulders. “Hell, your Discord name is theonewiththebraincell. You’re the smartest, so do this.” Eniola nodded.
“You called?” Eniola said, stepping up to the elf.
“Come with me,” he leapt up into the air and instead of falling, floated gracefully down onto a round table she hadn’t noticed before.
“You need to answer three riddles before you can take a ruby,” he explained, sitting opposite her.
“Let’s get it,” she said over-confidently.
“What has rivers with no water, forests but no trees, and cities with no buildings?” he stated, and immediately her brain went poof of all its alleged smartness.
“Um…..” she pondered. Then it hit her. She had heard this somewhere before. “A map!” He raised his eyebrows.
“Good!” he exclaimed. “Now what about this one? I have a tail, and I have a head, but I have no body. I am not a snake. What am I?”
“Yikes!” Jay said in the back.
“Can I get a hint?” Eniola asked.
“I thought you were a worthy opponent,” the elf said disdainfully.
“Does he take bribes?” Iris jokingly whispered into her ears.
“I have rubies, I don’t need your stupid coins.”
“That’s it!” Eniola exclaimed. “A coin. It has a head and a tail and no body!” This was the task. Find the answer. But maybe it was right in front of you. You had to really look. Because this was the Land of Illusion. Where everything is and isn’t.
He rolled his eyes. “Fine! Whatever! Last one! If you don’t get this right, I will be obligated to throw you out!”
“Don’t mess up!” Jay ‘helpfully’ reminded her.
“Wish I’d thought of that!” she responded sarcastically. “Thank you for saving the day!”
“It wears a leather coat to keep its skins in working order. Escorts you to other realms, without a magic portal,” he said. He leaned back in his chair and looked to be waiting for her to fail.
“What’s the answer?” she asked.
“What?” He looked taken aback.
“You never gave me rules,” Eniola said smugly. “Therefore, I can ask you the answer.”
“That isn’t how it works,” he stammered.
On a whim, Eniola drew an arrow and shot him. He disappeared.
“You were supposed to kill him this whole time?” Jay shouted.
“The riddles were just a waste of time,” Eniola said. “He didn’t die. He disappeared, meaning he was an illusion. We should’ve known. Or at least tried before.”
“Let me take a ruby,” Theo said, stepping up and grabbing a good-sized ruby. The ruby flashed in a glittering light, and it exploded, and Theo dropped it. Something, not red took its place.
A disk.
“Did we just win?” Jay was the first to ask.
“We would’ve been back,” Theo said. Eniola knew it wasn’t a hack, because she was protecting Rogue with the power-up.
“I know!” Theo exclaimed. “The dragon wanted the ruby, right? Maybe the ruby was supposed to turn into the disk and we have to give it back. In that placeholder. This time we don’t get the disk, rather we bring it!”
They all caught on, and Theo put the disk in his inventory.
“We don’t know the way back to the mountain,” Jay said.
“Then we respawn,” Eniola said. “It’ll bring us right in front of the castle.”
“Who’s going to take one for the team first?” Iris asked. Quickly, Theo drew his arrows and shot Jay, then Lucia, and then Iris, and finally Eniola.
Eniola reappeared in front of the castle along with the rest of her team and now saw the teams again who also seemed to be clamouring, trying to get back into the castle now. This was the only time she would see them now. Clamouring to get their disks right back into the castle in place of the decoy.
One shot an arrow, but Eniola dived back and landed on her feet, avoiding them, shooting them back. She cloaked herself with a powerup, before taking out another one. This one was a bright yellow cube she had in her inventory meaning she could switch weapons. before reaching into her inventory and taking out something she had prepared for at this moment. Soon, a small bottle of bubbling green liquid took place in her hands and she suddenly threw it out into the crowd before a burst of colours tore through the crowd. Eniola instantly took off after it.
“Damn,” Jay said, sounding impressed, and Eniola couldn’t help but smile. Lucia took the disk, got back on her bike before a bunch of people came for her to prevent her from going there first, but swerved her hand under and passed the disk to Jay just in time who jumped up and caught the projectile in the air with one hand. He leapt up the wall and Theo followed him. If they wanted to win, Theo should take the disk right as more teams ambushed Jay and make a run for the open throne room.
But he kept climbing and ignored Theo’s signals. Eniola was still focused on defending herself and keeping Rogue afloat when Theo’s cries became louder. She looked again, and Jay was being trailed by other people. He should give the disk to Theo.
But when Jay quickly walked onto the wall that climbed so fast it looked like he was simply walking on the wall. Suddenly he grabbed onto a ledge before swinging himself up quickly before getting into the throne room. Eniola saw, Jay quickly inserted the disk into the spot. In a flash, they were back in the real world. They won.
