Ashley's Aquarium
A new bar had just opened up in town. Everyone was talking about it. It was in an old bar, that everyone used to go too, back in the day. It had a smoko area in the front, with railings and a cage-like frontier for the upper half, often labelled as, "the Zoo," because they thought most of the smokers acted like zoo animals.

We continued to travel through the alleyway until it ended . Once the alleyway ended we decided to take the back roads . Everything was fairly quiet until we came upon a small field . We decided to cross it quickly , and started to sprint when we got to the middle of the field . A strong wind started to circle the field . Next thing we knew we were trapped in a green dome of vicious wind . Visceroy looked at me and said , "what the hell is this ?" I replied to him . " I know as much as you . Which is almost nothing my friend ." We then both looked around bracing for an enemy to show up .

Yes , I thought to myself . That must have been Visceroy . He just sent Royce flying with his giant staff attack . The way Royce was sent flying through those trees . Im sure that he's not getting up any time soon . Sure enough I saw him running up to where I was still standing in shock . He started to speak to me when he arrived . "Hey Bright , sorry if I was late . I noticed you guys fighting , but I had to fight through a few foot soldiers myself . I can sense the others by their scents . Their magical pressures all seem faint though ." I told him no problem he came just in time . I let him know that I had confidence that our friends would be just fine . They were just knocked out at the worst . I did want to check them out and make sure they were not gravely injured . He agreed with me and we gathered them in one spot . Lillandra was in the best shape . She had blood coming out of her mouth but she could sit up , everyone else was knocked out cold .

Follow the Foreigners
A drone had arrived at Bixby’s door to drop a package. Bixby looked out the window when he heard the whirring of the drone, saw a box thud and went outside.

That's Just Mean
The three girls with sunglasses pushed back on top of their heads were almost as old as me. One had a short tight skirt on but she'd dressed very carelessly, for her knickers in a swirly pattern were clearly visible through the white fabric, and I could likewise see the girl in the middle had black ones on. It was nice to think I'd taken their powers by seeing these, and they didn't even know it!

Unwanted Legacies
The Aquarium was unremarkable, all things considered. Young children ran and laughed and dared each other to get close to the exhibits. Older children and adolescents alternated between staring at their technological devices and fancying themselves above it all, only dragged along because their parents didn't trust them to remain home alone. Some adults tried to wrangle their young into submission, while others internally debated if this had really been the best choice of location for a date, and a rare few tried to ignore the chaos around them, focused on the beings that swum endlessly in the confined waters.

Middle School Mafia. First Place in The Aquarium Challenge.
Honcho likes to conduct his business at the aquarium. Why? It’s dark, it’s crowded, and no one pays attention to middle school kids there, even when they’re locked into intense conversations.

I Suck. Runner-Up in The Aquarium Challenge.
My name is Hoover and my drug of choice is Valium. Hear me out. I’m not a junkie fish, but it’s no Mardi Gras here in this glass cell, and things happen. Sometimes fortuitous things. Like the Valium.

Ben
Meet Ben The little girl watched with deep interest as the fish swam from one end of the tank to the other. She followed the fish back and forth, both enjoying themselves immensely. The fish stopped and so did the girl, they were staring at each other through the glass when bubbles spilled from the fish’s mouth. The girl laughed, clapped her hands enthusiastically, and cheered. The fish was quite pleased with himself and began swimming in a figure eight pattern. The girl cheered some more.

Smiling and reveling in his battle achievement . Royce still wasted no time in charging right after me . His speed was surprising when you count his size and strength . I tried to block his attack with my drill . I blocked him but like Jerry before me I was still sent flying . I did backflips into the air and he was still on my tail . While I was still flipping mid air from the impact of his first attack he appeared again to strike me . I was still a little disoriented and dizzy but I managed to wrap my drill around his arm .

Jerry went charging at Syltana . He was met by Bryce‘s tail and was sent crashing into the ground . He didn’t move at all . He wasn’t dead though . I know he was tougher than that , but he was probably down for a minute . While Bryce was attacking Jerry , Bulls Eye was able to strike him with his own arrows into Bryce’s back . POOF the dragon disappeared in smoke ! It seemed the stomach wound that Bulls Eye inflicted on him earlier and the arrows to the back was enough to take him out . Bryce completely disappeared , leaving only Royce and Syltana as our last two enemies .

We were still inside of the trees healing for a little while . A few minutes after we started to heal , Royce , Bryce and Syltana showed up . " Well well well ," Royce continued speaking after saying that . "This must’ve been the other powerful presence that I felt ." You were the main reason I didn’t chase after them like an idiot . Let’s see now this makes it three against five. I still like our odds ." His already proud stature seemed to only increase in confidence after confirming his suspicions .
