Chapter 10: Chapter 10: The First day
*The time has come. It was Monday 06:30 and it was time to see the Traveler at work.*
Athena: "Come on! Pack up! We're going to work!"
Traveler: "Uhh wished it was still yesterday..."
Athena: "Oh? And why so? You want me to drag you there? I can do that too."
Traveler: "N-no! Please you dont have to...",
Athena: "Good, now pack up!"
**After 20 minutes**
Traveler: "Alright! I am ready!"
Athena: "I've already contacted Mika. She is already there."
Traveler: "Good then lets go. Lets not keep her waiting."
Athena: "This time i'm taking you by car there. Go in the garage and press the red button there. That would open the garage doors then get in the passenger seat and wait me there."
Traveler: "Alright. Got it!"
*In the garage*
Traveler: "Lets see it should be this button. *Presses but the alarm triggers* Oh man! Wrong button! Stop it! Stop it! Fuck! Man come on! *It stops* phew... I think its this one... *Presses it and the garage door opens.* Good..."
Athena: "I am not deaf am i? Did i hear the alarm?"
Traveler: "Eheheh... I accidentally pressed the alarm button... They look similar! Dont blame me!"
Athena: "Don't worry i get your point. My brother also does it sometimes..."
*Both get in the car*
*Athena drives real fast not caring much.*
Traveler: "ATHENA SLOW DOWN! WE ARE GOING 75 IN A 40 ZONE!!"
Athena: "Oh come on! Don't be a pussy! How do you want to become a fearless fighter like us? Also thats my usual driving speed."
Traveler: "USUAL!?" *faints*
*After 5 minutes*
Athena: "Alright we're here!"
*Cricket noises. The Traveler was still unconscious.*
Athena: *giggles* "I guess someone really got afraid of the way i drive."
*Athena grabs everything as well as the Traveler and brings him inside.*
Athena: "Hey guards!" *She passes by them the guards confused why she was carrying The Traveler*
Guard: "What the...?"
Guard 2: "Don't even think about it."
*Inside*
Mika: "You two arrived. And somehow you're carrying The Traveler... What did you do this time?"
Athena: "He got scared by my driving style." *chuckles*
Mika: "I can relate to that. Thats why everyone is afraid to be the passenger in your car."
Athena: "Oh come on! Its nothing too bad!"
Mika: "Athena you crashed your car last year because of going 90 in a 50 zone! Wake up to reality!"
Athena: "Alright... Sorry..."
*She puts The Traveler down on the chair.*
*He will wake up eventually.*
*Neon arrives at the spot to give them their tasks for today.*
Neon: "Hello there-... What happened with him..?"
*Mika tells Neon the situation.*
Neon: "Oh... Right... Anyways!"
*He wakes up.*
Mika: "Good someone woke up."
Traveler: "W-where am I! Am i still in the car!?"
Athena: "No you're at work dumbass!"
Traveler: "Oh sorry..."
Neon: "Back on track. So what i want you three to do is to cleanse 5 corrupted pools all around Duran. Can yall?"
Mika: "I'm in!"
*Athena and Traveler also joined*
Neon: "Great! After you three are done with this yall can have the rest of the day off. Now off you go!"
**Outside the city**
Athena: "Alright so one corrupted pool is here by the beachside. Be cautious."
*As they arrived they witness the pool surrounded by a barrier*
Mika: "Hmm a shadow barrier... Should'nt be too hard."
*They look around to find a switch which usually lifts the barrier. They eventually find it and then cleanse the pool. The area wasn't contaminated anymore.*
*So they did at 2 more pools.*
*The last 2 which were together in Abora Forest were surrounded by enemies.*
Athena: "Enemies ahead. How do we strike?"
Mika: "Chaaarge!!"
Athena: "I guess that works."
*After 15 enemies worth of fighting The Traveler wasn't too exhausted because the enemies were kinda easy for him because of the skills he learnt from the girls.*
Traveler: "Ayyy! Thats actually easy!"
Mika: "Heh, lightwork."
Athena: "Aww my nail fell..."
Mika: "Oh come on thats what you gotta say? You have plenty of bucks you can always go and put new ones! Thats why i also dont use make-up most of the time.."
*Back in the city.*
Mika: "Lets call it a day today shall we?"
Athena: "Alright! Traveler back home we go!
Traveler: "Please! Mika take me with you!"
Mika: "Afraid? Athena please drive slower this time alright..?"
Athena: "Alright i will..."
*She kept her promise and the night was going smoothly.*
