Syrus walks closer to the book Mr. I
|
||
|
||
holds in his hands. It looks in every way like a
|
||
|
||
normal Linking Book, except... the letters on its
|
||
|
||
cover are written in silver, not gold. The title says
|
||
|
||
“Mystery Book.”
|
||
|
||
“So what is a mystery book?” Syrus asks.
|
||
|
||
“A Mystery Book? You never know what
|
||
|
||
they’re gonna do. They could warp you to any
|
||
|
||
location, they could bring evil demons into the world.
|
||
|
||
You never really know.”
|
||
|
||
“Cool!” Syrus snatches the book and opens
|
||
|
||
it. The image inside is fuzzy and you can’t make out
|
||
|
||
anything in it. Syrus puts his hand on the picture and
|
||
|
||
links away. He appears in a forest. He’s not quite
|
||
|
||
sure where he is. Syrus looks around. It is a dark,
|
||
|
||
thick forest. A fog is blowing through. Syrus walks
|
||
|
||
through the woods for a little while and soon comes
|
||
|
||
to a place where the path splits into four.
|
||
|
||
To the left and straight ahead is just more
|
||
|
||
forest. Syrus looks to the right and sees the end of
|
||
|
||
the forest. Syrus decides to go to the right. Soon
|
||
|
||
enough, he is out of the woods.
|
||
|
||
When he gets out, he looks around. He sees
|
||
|
||
the edge of the Volcano of No Return. He finally
|
||
|
||
made it to the other side of Monk Forest! Syrus
|
||
|
||
takes out an Ideya Capture and drops it. Mr. I
|
||
|
||
quickly returns to him.
|
||
|
||
“Okay, Mr. I. Where am I now?”
|
||
|
||
“You’re in the intersection between Monk
|
||
|
||
Forest and Orb Lake. Hey, what’s that??” Mr. I
|
||
|
||
points to a small bush just at the edge of the forest.
|
||
|
||
Syrus goes over to investigate. The monster looks
|
||
|
||
just like a tiny Ico.
|
||
|
||
“Hey there little guy!” Syrus says. The tiny
|
||
|
||
creature gets up and runs for its life. Syrus whips
|
||
|
||
an Ideya Capture at it and knocks it unconsious.
|
||
|
||
The monster is then sucked into the marble.
|
||
|
||
“Yeah! I got an Ico!”
|
||
|
||
Syrus releases Ico from its Ideya Capture.
|
||
|
||
“Hey Ico! What’s up?”
|
||
|
||
Ico is being really quiet.
|
||
|
||
Mr. I suggests, “Maybe Ico is really
|
||
|
||
scared of something. He’ll eventually get over
|
||
|
||
it.”
|
||
|
||
“Okay, good.” Syrus puts Ico back in
|
||
|
||
his Ideya Capture and continues walking down
|
||
|
||
the fuchsia pathway.
|
||
|
||
Shortly, they arrive at a large lake of
|
||
|
||
crystal clear water. There is a long rope-bridge
|
||
|
||
stretched across the lake. Syrus walks about
|
||
|
||
half way across the bridge and stops to look
|
||
|
||
around. It appears there are many life forms in
|
||
|
||
the water, travelling around. Syrus looks closer.
|
||
|
||
Syrus spots a monster that looks very
|
||
|
||
much like a large tadpole. Orbiting the lake,
|
||
|
||
hovering above the water, are millions of little
|
||
|
||
glass balls full of a yellow electricity.
|
||
|
||
“What are all these things?” Syrus asks.
|
||
|
||
“The tadpole one,” says Mr. I, “is called
|
||
|
||
Octa. And it’s evolved form,” Mr. I points to a
|
||
|
||
large rock sticking out of the water, “the octopus-
|
||
|
||
like one, is Octo.”
|
||
|
||
Syrus looks at Octo. Octo looks like a
|
||
|
||
strange four-tentacled octopus. It has two long
|
||
|
||
eyes and a unibrow-like thing, and a small red
|
||
|
||
circular crystal on its forehead.
|
||
|
||
Mr. I continues, “Those monsters that
|
||
|
||
are orbiting the lake are called Orbs. And look
|
||
|
||
at that one!” Mr. I points out an Orb that is
|
||
|
||
colored blue instead of yellow. “That is a very
|
||
|
||
rare monster, called the Blue Orb. Only one of
|
||
|
||
them is born every 100 years.”
|
||
|
||
“Born? How in the he--?”
|
||
|
||
“Shh! No questions!”
|
||
|
||
“Heh.”
|
||
|
||
Mr. I continues, “And that pink jelly-fish
|
||
|
||
thing flying through the air is named Jelly-Fly. It
|
||
|
||
has the greatest healing powers of anything on
|
||
|
||
Earth, or in space, or anywhere, really.”
|
||
|
||
“Sweet! I gotta catch one!” Syrus whips
|
||
|
||
an Ideya Capture into the water. It captures an
|
||
|
||
Octa and returns to his hand. He takes out another
|
||
|
||
Ideya and whips it into the water. It dosen’t capture
|
||
|
||
anything and returns to his hand.
|
||
|
||
Syrus then throws an Ideya Capture at
|
||
|
||
an Octo and captures it. Syrus then spots the
|
||
|
||
Blue Orb. He wants to make sure he gets it, so
|
||
|
||
he’s very slowly calculating when and where he
|
||
|
||
should throw the Ideya. Soon, he throws it and
|
||
|
||
he captures the Blue Orb!
|
||
|
||
Syrus then tries to capture the Jelly-Fly
|
||
|
||
hovering around them. He whips an Ideya up at
|
||
|
||
the Jelly-Fly. The monster swerves to avoid the
|
||
|
||
marble.
|
||
|
||
“Damn!”
|
||
|
||
The Ideya Capture then starts to fall from
|
||
|
||
the sky, hitting Jelly-Fly on its way down.
|
||
|
||
“Good job, Syrus!” Mr. I says. “You’ve
|
||
|
||
used up nine of your ten Ideya Captures already!”
|
||
|
||
“Yeah, and it’s only my second day too!”
|
||
|
||
Syrus looks ahead and sees Wizeman’s
|
||
|
||
Castle.
|
||
|
||
“And it looks like I’m going to win the little
|
||
|
||
bet I made with Synan, also!”
