Chapter 5
Misunderstanding
This is exactly how he planned to spend his day, fighting a virus, saving a princess, ending up on a dank dungeon cell after saving said princess. Yep, great day it had become. Ugh, what was that smell, it smelled like something had just let loose some serious gas. He couldn't even cover his nose because his hands were held together by two iron seals. He could hop either thanks to the steel cell he was in too, he was completely trapped. He waited and waited until three hours had passed before one of the guards returned to get him.
"Alright, lets go the king and queen want to have a word with you." he said as he grabbed his jacket and pulled him up.
It was best to not and try to escape, that would only make thing worse. These guards wouldn't listen but maybe the king and queen would. He had to admit to himself that even though the dungeon was quite horrible the castle itself was pretty nice. There were paintings of the kings and queens through the ages, some where even extremely pixilated. There were corridors leading every which way, to where he didn't have time to find out. He had been so engrossed in the castle that he ran right into the guard when he stopped. They were both standing in front of a large door that were both engraved with one symbol.
"You better watch it kid, the king and queen are already suspicious about you and your acts today. Don't do anything stupid."
That would be simple, hopefully. The stone doors opened as they both walked into the room. Huh, it looked kind of like an office, but sitting at the desk was the king, standing to his right was the queen and to his left was the beautiful, gorgeous princess. Wait, no he couldn't be taken in by her beauty now.
"You may come over boy." the queen said.
As he made his way over to the three he couldn't help but notice the princess seemed a bit down about seeing him there.
"Now then, you are charged with trying to kidnap the princess when she was at her most vulnerable."
"Vulnerable, she had a sword pointed at my chest. She was anything but vulnerable."
"Quiet boy, now tell us who you are, and don't try to lie."
"Ugh, I already told you. I'm Saizo McDowl from Hub City. I came here to relax then I saw the princess was in trouble and decided to help. Do you not understand that?"
Wait, why didn't he do this before. He had is Hub City I.D. As he reached into his pocket the guards instantly pointed their spears at his neck.
"Relax guys, here take a look at this if you don't believe me." he said as he slid the card over to the king.
"Hm, Saizo McDowl: age seventeen, level 28, residents of Hub City. Nice stats my boy."
"Look I didn't mean to cause any alarm. If I hadn't gotten to her in time she wouldn't be here right now."
They both looked at each other before they signaled the guards to remove the seals from his hands. Once the bloody things were off he cracked his knuckles and relaxed them at his side.
"We are so sorry about this mistake. If there is anyway that we can repay you for saving our daughter please let us know."
There really wasn't much he could think of, but he would keep it in mind.
"That's alright, I have no need for anything right now. Though I should probably head back to my world now."
"Alright, my guards will show you to the portal."
"Oh no that's ok, I'll let myself out." he said as he walked out of the room.
Thanks to that little fiasco he had wasted three hours of his day, three hours he could have been at the arcade or playing his own video games. Hell he could have been leveling up, but it looked like fate had something else in store for him. As he walked up to the dragon he gave it a pet on the snout which caused it to lick his body with its large tongue. He wasn't so bad, but that lick did make him flicker.
Well it felt good to be back in Hub City. That world wasn't to bad but that little misunderstanding did kind of piss him off still. Oh well he was back and he planned to stay there. The park was still open and there were more people than ever, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being followed. He was about to leave when he saw that Ashley and Dan had returned.
"Hey, I thought you two went home."
"We did but since there wasn't really anything interesting to do we came back. Though we have been looking for you. What have you been up to?" asked Dan.
"You don't want to know." he said as he rubbed his face.
They both were quiet for a second before he heard that ask their next question, one that sent chills down his spine.
"So, who's the girl?"
Girl, wait, girl, he begged that it wasn't who he thought it was. He turned around so he could see who she was talking about, that flowing pink hair, those gorgeous blue eyes and that dress that symbolized her royalty.
"Sorry but I've, got to go!" he told them before he leapt off the ground.
"Oh ho no you don't, come back here." Ashley said as she grabbed his left ankle and pulled him back down before he smashed into the concrete causing it and him to flicker.
"Alright, now who is this? You didn't seduce her did you?" she asked as he looked over the girl.
"Pah, of course not!" he exclaimed as he spat out pieces of rubble.
"Hm, well you wouldn't stand a chance with a girl like this anyways." she said as she placed a foot on the center of his back.
"Hey!" he exclaimed as she stepped harder on his back to shut him up.
They watched as she bowed in front of them with grace.
"I'm sorry but I wanted to thank him for saving me from that creature. I didn't have a chance to earlier."
Oh wow, not only was she cute but her normal non-scared voice was so beautiful. Both sets of eyes were looking straight at them as he laid there on the ground.
"Alright spill it and I mean everything."
Once she stopped crushing his back he told them everything that happened, about going to her world to relax only to defeat a virus and be locked away for three hours before finally being set free.
"You took on a virus? Righteous man." said Dan as he gave Saizo some dap.
"Stupid is more like it, do you know how dangerous viruses are? They can cause a permanent game over."
"I know but it was already crawling towards her tower and if I hadn't gotten to her she might have been deleted. I beat though."
She seemed kind of angry but at the same time relieved.
"Well, don't try it again."
He rolled his eyes as he looked back at the princess who seemed to have a smile on her face.
