The Kodas fly away. Syrus has the purple
|
||
|
||
book now. The golden text reads “Book Temple.”
|
||
|
||
Syrus opens the book up. On the first page is a small
|
||
|
||
panel where Syrus sees a rotational view of a
|
||
|
||
circular temple.
|
||
|
||
Syrus holds his hand over the panel. Soon,
|
||
|
||
small golden sparkles appear between the panel
|
||
|
||
and his hand. He is suddenly warped to the center
|
||
|
||
of the building he saw in the book. In front of him is
|
||
|
||
a girl seated at a desk. She has long blonde hair.
|
||
|
||
Also in the room is Zoe. Syrus looks at Zoe.
|
||
|
||
“Zoe. Where is Synan now?”
|
||
|
||
“Umm...” Zoe makes a signal to the girl
|
||
|
||
behind her at the desk. The girl hands Zoe a
|
||
|
||
book. “He went into this book!”
|
||
|
||
Syrus takes the book. The title reads
|
||
|
||
“Monster Village”
|
||
|
||
“He’s cheating! He went there to
|
||
|
||
capture more monsters than me!”
|
||
|
||
Syrus steals the book and links
|
||
|
||
through it. He appears at the entrance to The
|
||
|
||
Land of No Return.
|
||
|
||
“Damn kids.” Syrus says. He rubs his
|
||
|
||
eyes and looks around. He sees the bright
|
||
|
||
lava-red doors on the mountain. One of them
|
||
|
||
is open, and closing slowly. Syrus runs for the
|
||
|
||
doorway and makes it inside just before it closes
|
||
|
||
and locks behind him.
|
||
|
||
He is in a small cave. There are lots of
|
||
|
||
smaller caves carved around the walls of this
|
||
|
||
place. There is also a most unusual monster here.
|
||
|
||
It’s body is mostly an oval. The oval
|
||
|
||
is hollow, but holds a small eyeball inside. Syrus
|
||
|
||
can’t explain how that works. Unlike Koda,
|
||
|
||
this monster is red and doesn’t have any arms.
|
||
|
||
Syrus walks up to one of them.
|
||
|
||
“Hello. Who are you?”
|
||
|
||
“Mr. I. We’re expert volcanologists.”
|
||
|
||
“Really?”
|
||
|
||
“Yep.”
|
||
|
||
“What about Koda?”
|
||
|
||
“Well, they’re the only things smarter
|
||
|
||
than us, but you get the idea.”
|
||
|
||
Syrus takes out an Ideya Marble. He
|
||
|
||
tosses it at Mr. I’s red skin. It bounces off and
|
||
|
||
falls to the floor.
|
||
|
||
“What?” Syrus says.
|
||
|
||
“It appears that your Ideya Capture
|
||
|
||
is already in use. Did you capture another
|
||
|
||
monster in it?”
|
||
|
||
“Yeah, I captured a Monk...”
|
||
|
||
The red marble glows white. A bright
|
||
|
||
beam exits the marble and flies away. It flies
|
||
|
||
down a passageway to a room that’s glowing
|
||
|
||
red. After a few minutes, the beam returns.
|
||
|
||
Syrus picks up the marble and drops
|
||
|
||
it. A Monk appears.
|
||
|
||
“Oh, so since this marble was used
|
||
|
||
and it’s monster was away, it sent a beam
|
||
|
||
out to hunt down that monster.”
|
||
|
||
“Yeah.” Mr. I says.
|
||
|
||
Syrus takes out a different marble.
|
||
|
||
He captures Mr. I with it, and then returns
|
||
|
||
Monk to it’s own marble.
|
||
|
||
Syrus walks down the tunnel that
|
||
|
||
the beam followed. Soon, he’s in a large
|
||
|
||
cave that’s lit-up red. He suddenly
|
||
|
||
recognizes this place. It’s the room he saw
|
||
|
||
earlier, when he looked out the window.
|
||
|
||
He is in this room, but he’s on
|
||
|
||
the ledge that he saw earlier. He quickly
|
||
|
||
spots the rope ladder and crosses it.
|
||
|
||
The island drops a couple of
|
||
|
||
millimeters as Syrus steps onto it. The
|
||
|
||
strange micro-island is held up by large
|
||
|
||
black chains.
|
||
|
||
Scattered across the rock are
|
||
|
||
strange monsters, or combinations of
|
||
|
||
monsters. On the bottom is a red,
|
||
|
||
circular-shaped monster. Connected
|
||
|
||
by a beam of electricity is another
|
||
|
||
monster, shaped like a three-dimensional
|
||
|
||
diamond. The diamond appears hollow,
|
||
|
||
but it’s filled with millions of eyeballs.
|
||
|
||
Syrus takes out an Ideya
|
||
|
||
Capture and throws it towards one
|
||
|
||
of them.
|
||
|
||
“Man, this island is just full
|
||
|
||
of these monsters!”
|
||
|
||
The monster is captured and
|
||
|
||
the Ideya comes back to Syrus.
|
||
|
||
A Koda comes up behind Syrus.
|
||
|
||
“In case you didn’t know, that was
|
||
|
||
an Emerald that you just captured. Is that
|
||
|
||
your first monster?”
|
||
|
||
“No way! It’s my third! I’m not
|
||
|
||
as naive as you think!”
|
||
|
||
“Oh, okay, kid. Your third then.”
|
||
|
||
“Shut up, Koda!”
|
||
|
||
Syrus takes out an Ideya Capture
|
||
|
||
and whips it at Koda. Koda holds his
|
||
|
||
hands together at the wrists and launches
|
||
|
||
a fireball. The force of the fire launches the
|
||
|
||
Ideya back at Syrus. Syrus catches the
|
||
|
||
marble.
|
||
|
||
“We’re not so easy, Syrus. Not
|
||
|
||
every monster is as easy to catch as the
|
||
|
||
ones you have. Let me guess: your three
|
||
|
||
monsters include Monk, Mr. I, and
|
||
|
||
Emerald, right? Ha! They’re probably
|
||
|
||
the easiest to catch.
|
||
|
||
“Oh yeah? I guess I should try
|
||
|
||
to capture harder monsters then, huh?”
|
||
|
||
Syrus says.
|
||
|
||
“Ha! Don’t make me laugh!
|
||
|
||
Somebody like you can’t hardly even
|
||
|
||
catch a cold!” Koda flies away,
|
||
|
||
laughing mockingly.
