Fourth Game

Adam looked around the lounge area and found an empty couch that was not far away from where he was standing. He walked towards it with Bull, Bunny, and Alice right behind him. Adam sat down in the middle of the sofa and looked towards Bunny and Bull who were sitting on his right side, Adam looked towards Bunny and saw Bunny's new bag that was similar to her old bag but was roughly half the size of her old bag "Is that the new bag from Micheal?"

"Yes it is, I got it this morning. This thing is awesome! Micheal managed to put all of the items that I have in my old bag and many, many more tools in this thing!" Bunny excitedly explained while holding her bag with both of her hands.

"He sends me this bag along with a guidebook that was as thick as my mattress, I read it for a couple of minutes and managed to find most of the important things that we will probably need in this game, but it will take me a couple of weeks to read the entirety of the guide book," Bunny added while resting her back on the sofa.

"Good luck on reading the guidebook." Adam smiled towards Bunny who sighed.

"Do we need to find the secret of this game?" Bull asked while looking towards Adam and Bunny.

"Everyone in our team has already got an item from Micheal, but I wonder what happened when we got another secret?" Adam asked while looking towards Bull and Bunny who instantly nodded.

"Yeah, I wonder what happened when we get another secret? Do we get another item from Micheal?" Bull asked.

"No, contestants are only allowed to have one item from Sir Micheal Angelo. But if a contestant does solve another secret they could change their current item with Micheal." Alice explained while looking towards everyone.

"That makes sense, it will be a pain to fight someone with two Micheal upgrades," Bunny said while holding her backpack tightly.

"I think it would be pretty fun to fight someone who has two Micheal upgrades," Roo said while standing behind Bunny who quickly looked towards him with a weird expression. Roo was holding two large plates that were filled with all kinds of food with Crow right beside him holding a tray full of glass.

"Let me help you with that Crow," Bull stands up and grabbed the tray of drinks from Crow while Crow grabbed a glass of orange juice and smiled.

Adam looked towards the stage of the lounge area and saw a man who was wearing a black suit slowly walking towards the middle of the stage. A clear tube ascended right in the middle of the stage and the man stopped right in front of it "Contestants please get ready for your fourth game, if you're in a team please gather your teammates with you. Before all of you line up right in front of the stage please visit the wardrobe area, because you will be needing a winter jacket for your game."

The man pointed towards the corner of the lounge area that was a couple of meters away from him while all of the contestants looked towards it. The walls of the corner slowly raised to the roof and a large store that has a neon sign of Wardrobe Area appeared right behind it.

The store was filled with many articles of clothing that can be seen through their clear paned windows. Many contestants that were near to it instantly went into the store while others slowly walked towards it.

"Let's go!" Roo jumped out while wiping his mouth and ran towards the wardrobe area while Adam, Bull, Bunny, Crow, and Alice slowly followed him.

Roo went inside the store and stopped right in front of a large wooden counter that was beside the entrance of the store. A dark red-haired woman that was wearing a long maid dress stands behind the counter and smiled towards Roo while bowing down.

"Welcome to the wardrobe area, please scan your watch so I can bring out your winter jacket." The woman explained while pointing towards a scanner that was in the middle of the counter, Roo instantly scanned his watch while Adam, Bull, Bunny, Crow, and Alice arrived behind him.

The woman smiled and bowed towards everyone and instantly pointed towards the scanner that was in front of Roo "Welcome to the wardrobe area, please scan your watch so I can bring out your winter jacket."

Adam, Bull, Bunny, and Crow scanned their watches and the woman smiled towards all of them while reaching under the counter. The woman took out five large different-colored bags and puts them on the counter.

Roo looked towards one of the paper bags that was colored in orange and noticed that it has Roo written right in the middle of it. He grabbed the paper bag and reached inside of it, he took out a bright orange winter jacket that has black fur on its hood from the bag and holds it with both of his hands.

"Sweet!" Roo quickly wore his jacket while the others grabbed the paper bags that have their name on them. Bunny grabbed a bright pink paper bag and grabbed a pink winter jacket that has white fur on its hood. Bunny took off her bag and puts on her jacket.

Crow was standing right beside Bunny and she took a black paper bag that has a black winter jacket inside of it which have jet black crow feathers instead of fur on its hood. Crow somehow managed to wore her jacket without taking off her weapons and looked towards Bunny who was smiling wide while raising both of her thumbs.

Roo went out from the wardrobe area with Bunny and Crow behind him who were talking with each other while Crow wrote on her notepad as fast as she can. Bull grabbed a red paper bag and took out a red winter jacket that has yellowish fur on its hood which he instantly wore.

Bull looked towards Adam while fixing his jacket, who was holding a dark green paper bag. He took out a dark green jacket that has white fur on its hood and wore it. Bull tapped Adam's shoulder and both of them nodded towards each other before, they went out from the wardrobe area.

"I wonder how cold the stage will be that we need these," Bunny asked while looking towards everyone.

"We should be ready for anything, let's go to the tube." Adam pointed towards the tube while Alice walked around all of them.

"I have a present for Roo and Crow," Alice said while standing right in front of Roo and Crow while holding both of her palms out. Alice opened her palms while Roo and Crow took a step forwards and looked towards earpieces that were on Alice's palm.

"I will read the messages from the live stream to you guys when you're inside the game so you can focus on your game," Alice explained while Roo and Crow grabbed the earpiece and puts it on.

"Thank you, Alice!" Roo smiled while Crow smiled as well right beside him.

"Look the line is gone, it's time for all of you to go. I will be here waiting and good luck to the five of you." Alice smiled while Adam, Bull, Bunny, Roo, and Crow smiled towards her. The five of them walked towards the tube while Alice waved behind them.

Crow stopped in front of the wooden stand that was beside the tube and scanned her watch "Beasts, please enter the tube and Good luck on your second game."

The five of them entered the tube and the floor under them instantly raised upwards, all of them saw Alice who was near the tube smiling towards them and smiled back as they disappeared into the roof.

Their tube moved around in the darkness for a couple of minutes and suddenly stopped while a static voice came from the roof "Contestant Roo please extend your hand outwards."

Roo extended his arm and a scroll fell to his hand. Roo opened the clear tube and took out the scroll while turning around. He holds the clear tube and gave the scroll to Adam "Here you go Lion, I hate reading."

Adam took the scroll and read it out loud "Not looked for he is there but looked he will never be found, A king of hiding and seek."

"Why can't the viewers pick a beach stage? When they announced that we need to take winter jackets my hope was gone." Bunny complained.

Crow wrote on her notebook and quickly showed it to Bunny "Let's stick together and win this game!"

"Yes, and you're really good at drawing!" Bunny smiled while looking towards a drawing of a crow that was raising a thumb on the corner of the paper.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Adam, Bull, Bunny, Roo, and Crow quickly looked upwards as they heard a loud alarm-like sound came from the roof as it opened on its own. The roof opened wide and a pile of snow fell into the tube right on top of Roo along with two pieces of stone and a stick turning him into a snowman.

"Hey, they started the game." Unknown laid on a large and fancy red leather couch while holding a large tablet with both of her thin hands.

"Oh! Time to meet the kid then, let's go Unknown." Untreatable who was a couple of steps away from Unknown smiled widely and put on a pair of purple square glasses, while Unknown jumped out from her couch and ran towards her.
