CHAPTER 6 



[K] Merp: …

Jikan: You’re right. This floor looks completely different than the ones we were just on.

Argus: What do you mean by that?

Jikan: Well, we were searching for Notes in a single room before. Now we have an entire grand hall to search.

[K] Merp: …

Jikan: Well, we got Argus to help us find Talismans. So technically we didn’t gain or lose anything.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Really, is he …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Argus: Is this what we’re looking for?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Argus holds out 7 different Notes.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: How did you find so many Notes in such a short time?!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Argus: Oh, I kind of have this ability to find stuff out of a whim.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Really? That will help us so much. Don’t you think so Master?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Argus: It’s nothing much…

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">???: ACHOO!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Whose there? I can sense your aura.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">???: What do you mean whose there. Merpy how can you NOT recognize me!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: But, ghost agents don’t have auras like this …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">???: Yea, I don’t know what happened either.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi steps out, but looks completely different. She has a dark red aura surrounding her and she’s wearing a black as night dress. Raven feathers litter the floor where she’s standing and a line of blood was running down from her lips. Somehow, everyone instinctively knew the blood wasn’t hers.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi: Don’t bother asking. I don’t even know myself. Where’s Psycho.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi: I see. By the way. Have you guys been collecting Mysterious Notes?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: We have, why ask?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi: Here’s some.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi tosses 10 Notes at Merpy’s group. The Notes instantly disappear and reappear in Merpy’s basket.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Why be so generous?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi: Because, I’m going to see if I can get more than I threw away. Clawing Death!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi rushes at Jikan and claws him, leaving a bloody wound on his chest.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Hack!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan coughs up blood and falls onto the floor, clutching at the wound. Pochi instantly tries to attack Argus, but he side steps quickly.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi: Huh, you’re much better than blood boy over there.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Argus: Trust me, you won’t be winning this! Golden Eye!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi: What is this?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Both of Argus’s eyes golden yellow. A sword appears in his hand and he stabs Pochi through the stomach. As Pochi falls to the ground, the room suddenly shifts and everyone is brought to their knees. When everyone regains their footing, it seemed as if the battle never happened.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi: Not bad at all, even if I did keel one of you over in a split second.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Hey!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi: I’m game, but I want 500 Notes as proof.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: isn’t that a bit much …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi: no, I’m not moving on this.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Merpy hands Pochi 500 Notes. Pochi [Mystery] is now Merpy’s daemon!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi: Thanks. Now, let’s get this room cleared out of Notes!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi immediately goes off to find notes with Argus following close behind her. Jikan falls back onto the floor and massages the ghost wound.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: The pain was so real, but it went away in a second.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Do you think that’s what happened?

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: I guess we don’t want to overstay our welcome here then. We better start to find those Notes.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">[K] Merp: …

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: I doubt Hop or Ren know about this. Still, it will be good to quiz them.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The two of them rejoin Pochi and Argus who are in a heated debate.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi: I found the last one! You just happened to snatch it up before I could grab it!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Argus: Liar! It was in my hands before you even noticed!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Pochi: Please! Your eyes are probably worthless!

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Argus: You would have probably ripped the Note with those claws you call hands.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan: Will you two STOP ARGUING? Who cares who got the last Note. The staircase appeared. Let’s just get moving.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jikan storms past the two of them, Merpy following behind. After giving each other an angry glare, Pochi and Argus quickly followed their master.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Floor 21: Clear
