Welcome in Part IV of the Runouw Series ! Story by Me and Zunar (Zunar corrects my mistakes, that's a lot of work!) (Click here to view the other parts)
It's been almost two months since Star king disappeared during the attack of the spambots (check Part III). Since then, the users don't feel secure in the City... And finally, Runouw decided to search... outside the city. No-one ever done that before, because it is too dangerous. Even the great Superyoshi decided to not take the risk, and leave Star king. Hearing that, three users, Zunar, SMX and Megaboy, decide to find Star king by themselves, not thinking of what is waiting for them...
Runopolis...

Prologue
As usual, it was a nice and hot day. Summer had just come, and it would have been a very happy day for Runouw City, if user hadn't disappeared two months ago. Two months that the USERDEX laboratory has been closed. Two months that he wasn't on the forums. Even Suyo asked that the LDC be suspended until he comes back, and that was two months ago. Exactly two months that the Star kingdom, his huge spaceship, has been floating above the city, always at the same place, just like an enormous cloud, putting a big shadow of depression on the City. There wasn't Star king anymore to move it. He wasn't there. He disappeared.

Runouw, the great Runouw, was thinking. Suyo and Blab were waiting, looking at him. There was silence for a long time. Then, finally, Runouw spoke. "It is true. Two months ago, a user disappeared. People are not feeling safe anymore." Runouw stood up, making Blab wake up. He continued, "First, this Super Smash Bros. Brawl event; 20 users in a game. At least nobody died. Then there were this crisis, with bombs. Runouw City almost got deleted. Then this war with the spambots, in which a user disappeared. We MUST find him." Suyo agreed. "Did you search everywhere in the City?" "Everywhere," Suyo said. "Level Designer Forum, Demonik's Tavern, even forums where he shouldn't be, like the Level Mod Forum, and Forum 23." "I searched in every forums. No-one has seen him for two months," Blab added. Runouw sat down again. "Alright, I see only one conclusion. If he is not in the city, he is outside it." Suyo and Blab didn't believe their ears. "You're not suggesting we go out of the City?!" Suyo answered, shocked. "Of course I am," Runouw shouted. "We must show to users that they have nothing to fear." Blab thought for a minute, and said, "You don't know the legend, do you? People say that in the middle of the region..." Runouw got angry, "I don't know the legend, and I don't want to hear any of it." Suyo and Blab looked at each other. "Maybe he is hiding in a topic... I'll organize another search," Blab said. "WE DO NOT NEED SEARCHES ANYMORE!" Runouw shouted. "GO OUTSIDE THE CITY WITH A COUPLE OF MODERATORS AND FIND HIM!" Fearing the worst, Suyo and Blab agreed and ran away from Runouw.
"Are you sure you want to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl?" SupahMarioX asked as he and Zunar were heading to the Demonik's Tavern to have a good ol' break. "Of course I am," Zunar said. "Come on, even Runouw said that it is completely safe to play it." SMX pushed the wooden door, and shouted at the Bartender, "The usual!" The bartender turned around, and shouted back, "What is the usual?" SMX approached, saw the bartender's face, and shouted, "Megaboy?! What are ya doing here?!" "Buff has been pretty sick these past few days," explained Megaboy. "I'm here to temporarily replace him. At least there aren't many people these days." It was true; except them, there was no-one else that had come in a long time. "Alright," Zunar said. "A coke for me. Same thing for SMX." Mega picked up two glasses, poured coke in them, and handed them over. "So what are you doing here?" he asked. "We just came to play SSBB, have a small break, you know?" So SMX and Zunar sat on the couch, turned on the Wii, and started playing.
Meanwhile, a whole bunch of users enter. All were wearing the Moderator badge, and we could see that they were all Moderators: MOD, Suyo, Blab, and Four. Even some Level Mods were there.: Sax, StarF and YB. Megaboy looked at them, and asked, "Would you like something?" but nobody answered, and all entered in the Private Moderator Room. Mega ignored them, except for Four, who approched Mega, and replied, "Yes, a pint of-" "FOUR!" Suyo shouted. "WE ARE HERE IN A CASE OF EMERGENCY!" Four heads back at the group calling to Mega, "...of coke, please!" Mega filled a glass of good ol' coke, and enter the Room of Moderators. Immediately after he entered, Suyo shouted, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?!" Mega calmly replied, "Four asked for a coke..." Suyo turned to Four and shouted again, "FOUR, I TOLD YOU, THIS IS A CASE OF EMERGENCY! WE MUST SEARCH FOR THIS GUY!" Then Mega disappeared. Zunar and SMX had stopped playing, and were looking at the door Mega just closed. SMX said to Zunar, "I don't know what you want to do, but I wanna know what they are saying about Star king. Let's find out." And they approached the door. "So what are we doing?" "As Suyo said: Nothing. We cannot go outside the city. It is too dangerous." "Come on, it may be not so dangerous." "Hey, Four, can I have some coke?" "GODDAMN THAT COKE, SAX!" There was a noise of breaking glass, and Megaboy looked at the door, where SSX and Zunar were. "What are you two doing?" he shouted. Zunar answered, "Eavesdropping for information." So Mega approached too. There were new voices inside the room. "So what do we do ? I WON'T WAIT HERE WHILE SOMEONE IS MISSING!" "OH YES YOU WILL!" shouted Suyo. "NOBODY MUST EXIT THE CITY; IT'S FAR TOO DANGEROUS! THAT IS THE FIRST LAW OF RUNOUW CITY! NOBODY WILL GO OUTSIDE, EVEN TO SAVE THIS GUY ! NOW ! LET'S GO ! END OF THE DISCUSSION!" Mega went back to the counter, with Zunar and SMX following him. Then they acted like they were talking because the Mods were coming out. When they were all outside, SMX asked, "You know what we'll do?" Mega nodded. "Of course, WE are gonna save him." Zunar added, "I'm coming with you, Mega. Come on, SMX." While Mega and Zunar was leaving, SMX shouted, "That's not what I meant, I meant to play Wii again!"

"You know what we'll do?"
"Of course, WE are gonna save him."
"I'm coming with you, Mega. Come on, SMX."
"That's not what I meant, I meant to play Wii again!"
The next day, the three users woke up very early to prepare the trip. SMX and Mega was going to Zunar's profile. "Hai Mega. Hai SMX," he said, when they arrived. His room was a complete mess. A tower of clothes was in the corner, a couple of safety books there, a tent in the middle, three bags, food, water, and a couple of weapons. SMX approached the weapons, picked up a sword, and said, "Where did you get these?" Zunar looked at Mega and SMX, who were both examinating the sword, and he said, "Remember the SSBB event? That weapon comes from the game. I have also a spambot's enery cannon and Pit's bow." He pointed the shiny bow on his bed, behind him. "Alright, I packed all," he finally said. "Take one bag and we must go. And let's hurry. We must be sure nobody sees us. Generally, people only come out right after sunrise. We must get out." They were finally leaving the hotel, when Mega slapped his forehead and said, "WAIT! We forgot the most important thing! A map!" Zunar shouted back, "A map? Are you nuts? We are probably the first ones to leave the city. Do you really think it's possible to have a map?" "Yeah, true," he said. They continued. The almost reached the gate when Mega shouted, "WAIT! We aren't the first ones to go out of the city! Maybe he can help us!" Zunar and SMX stopped. Zunar said, "We have until sunrise! We must hurry!" "Alright," said SMX. "We'll run!" So they started running. Zunar asked Mega, "So where is this hero?" "Back at the hotel," he answered. "He should be sleeping."
Effectively, the "Map Maker" was sleeping, until the time when Zunar, SMX and Mega entered in the room. But they didn't even put two feet in the room, that a high-pinched alarm suddenly came out of nowhere,ten spambots pointed their gun on the guests, waking up the sleeping "Map Maker". They could now see his face... It was one of the many Bowsers in the forums. He was pointing a small gun just on Zunar's chest, ready to shoot, when Mega shouted, "WAIT! We need your help!" The Bowser looked at Mega, pointing his gun on his face, when SMX shouted, "ARE YOU SHADOWTHEBOWSER?" The Bowser looked at SMX, pointing his gun on his right leg. He was ready to shoot, when Zunar asked slowly, "Is it true you once travelled outside of the City?" The Bowser suddenly stopped. He snapped his fingers and the alarm stopped. Always keeping his gun ready, he shouted, "WHY ARE YOU HERE? YOU WANNA KILL ME? YOU WANNA STEAL MY DIAMONDS?" "No, wait. Are you ShadowtheBowser?" StB looked at Zunar. "I am. But who are you?" "I'm Zunar, and this is Megaboy." StB thought a bit, but he loads his gun, ready to shoot, the spambots ready to protect StB, when Mega continued, "Wait! You can't remember us? Remember the SSBB event? You were Ganondorf, Zunar was Pit, and I was... Well, I was..." "Peach, weren't you?" continued SMX, half laughing. "Yeah, I was Peach," Mega replied. StB laughed loud in his face for a moment. Then he threw his gun behind him, on his bed. The spambots disappeared. "Alright, but be quick." He took the chair behind his desk, and the users sat on the bed. Mega talked first. "Alright. Is it true you were once outside the city?" StB looked at Mega and replied, "Yes." Zunar talked this time, "Have you ever made a map, even a crappy one?" "I have one," he said, "But you cannot have it. Far too precious. Gimme one good reason. Why do you need this map?" They all hesitated, but SMX finally said, "We are looking for Star king. He has been gone far too long." StB said,"Why aren't the mods going after him?" Zunar laughed, and said, "The Mods? You mean those cowards? Are you kidding, they didn't even want to get their butt out of the City, because they are... far too important..." he finished imitating Suyo's voice. "So we are replacing the Mods. We are going after him." StB thought for a few moments, and said quietly: "Erm. That map is not as precious as my Trillion Diamond (he pointed the huge stone on the desk). I'll give you the map." He searched inside the desk, and gave to Zunar an old map of an island. "Why is this area darker?" Zunar asked, pointing to the middle of the map. "The Legend's Land?" StB answered, "I can't remember how it was back there. I'm sure I was here once, but I have no memory of this area. None. But don't worry." Zunar looked at StB, when he noticed the window behind him and shouted, "HOLY CRAP! IT'S ALMOST SUNRISE! Thank you, ShadowtheBowser, thank you so much." And they were gone with the map. Shadowthe Bowser stood up, and went to bed again, saying: "Good luck, young lads. I'm sure you'll need plenty of it." And he started sleeping again.

"HOLY CRAP! IT'S ALMOST SUNRISE! Thank you, ShadowtheBowser, thank you so much."
"Good luck, young lads. I'm sure you'll need plenty of it."
"Alright, we are gone. We have a lot of supplies, a couple of cokes, and some weapons. I took the tent, clothes, and we even have a map. I'm sure nobody saw us leaving, so everything is okay," Zunar said. "So yeah, what do we now?" Mega asked. Zunar, Mega and SMX had been walking on a large road for an hour. "I don't know. We just follow the... road," SMX continued. Zunar took out the map in his pocket, and showed it to SMX. "Look. We are following the Illusion Road to the Kingdom of Illusion. There is a chance Star king went there. He went there a couple of times with his spaceship." Mega stopped, put his bag on the ground, and searched for a cold coke. "God I'm thirsty." He drank half his coke, but then Zunar took the bottle and said: "You noob! Don't drink all in one day, we'll need it." "But why is there this long road to the Kingdom?" SMX asked. "The first people that lived in the City made it, I think," Zunar explained. "They wanted to expand the City, but they died before completing it." SMX stopped, stared at Zunar, and asked: "Died? You mean... they are dead? Why?" "They died when they reached the Kingdom." Zunar replied. "You mean, we're going there?" SMX asked, shocked. "Yeah, but we have weapons, so we are safe. I planned everything."
Runouw City slowly woke up, and the users went on the road, and into the Chat Park, to chat, play football, etc. Some were going to the Quote Museum, others were waiting for the news. The Runouw Buses, something new, started to drive around the city, taking people aboard to take them to their destinations. The first boats for the FoA and beyond started to move, taking special people to the Island of Awesome. Every thing was fine. Until...
Demonik was walking in the street, whistling. For the first time since he opened the Tavern, he had a nice night, and he was happy. He reached the wooden door and he knocked. But there was no answer. "Mega, are you in there? You didn't bring my key back last night." But there was no answer. "MEGA?" No answer. "God where is that lazy b*stard?" Demonik wondered aloud. And he headed to the profiles, where he thought he could find him sleeping.
Wrong.
He was travelling around the Runouw region.
"WHAAAT?!?! You're not saying what I think you are, are you?! We must send people out there after him!" Suyo was looking at his feet, while Runouw was shouting at him. "No," Suyo replied. Runouw slapped his forehead, shouting: "Why, oh why do I have such a noob as a global moderator?! I'll give you one last-" "I SAID NO. Everyone thinks the same thing: He is probably dead. Why do other people need to die too?!" "A user disappears, half the users don't feel secure, the other half is ready to put Fourinone as the admin since They say I do bad work. And that... that... that son of a b**** we call Suyo says no!!" said Runouw, talking to himself. "GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!!" he yells at Suyo, and Suyo walks away. Demonik, running, bumped into Suyo, and entered Runouw's office, shouting: "RUNOUW!" He stopped, caught his breath, and said, slowly, to be sure he doesn't faint: "Ru... Runouw... there... there is a small... problem." Runouw took his cup of coffee, drank a bit, then asked: "What is it?" "I... I cannot find.... Megaboy." But Runouw didn't seem as shocked as Demonik expected, and he continued, as if it was talking about the weather forecast: "Well, that's a problem. He may be sleeping. Wait a little while." He turned around, looking through the window, drinking coffee, when Demonik said: "He isn't in his profile. Half of his things are packed." Runouw almost succeeded to spit all his coffee on his desk, saying: "You mean, he may have gone somewhere?" "I think, sir." Demonik replied. "Alright, find Blab. But if you find Suyo, tell that b*stard he isn't moderator anymore. Tell him MoD will take his place," Runouw said. "Alright, Runouw," Demonik answered. "And by the way, this conversation never happened."

"He isn't in his profile. Half of his things are packed."
"You mean, he may have gone somewhere?"
"I think, sir."
"Alright, find Blab. But if you find Suyo, tell that b*stard he isn't moderator anymore. Tell him MoD will take his place, and by the way, this conversation never happened."
After many hours of walking, Zunar, Megaboy and SupahMarioX arrived at a forest. "Here we are," Zunar said, looking at the map. "We reached the Kingdom of Illusion." "You sure?" SMX asked. "Totally," Zunar replied. SMX entered the forest when, suddenly, a loud roar came out of nowhere. SMX, panicking, ran and hid behind Zunar. "What... What... What was that?" SMX asked, scared. "It's probably a dragon," Zunar replied calmly. "A DRAGON?" SMX shouted in response, shocked. Mega looked around him, and said: "God, it's dark in there. And it's almost noon. That's strange." A new roar came out from nowhere, nearer than before. Zunar took his bag and said: "We should take our weapons." Zunar took Pit's bow, Mega the sword, and SMX the spambot cannon. "I don't like this place..." SMX said. "Let's get out of here." "We can't," Zunar said. "Maybe he is in there." A new roar came from not too far away, then some noise of a flying animal... Then a loud roar came from above them and Mega shouted: "Behind us!" A huge shiny green dragon arrived in front of them and threw a fireball on Mega, but he protected himself with his sword. Zunar took Mega's arm and they started to run in the opposite direction. The dragon flapped his wings and flew high in the sky. "Where are we going?" SMX asked. "Cause I don't think he is following us..." They reached a lake, and there wasn't the noise of wings flapping anymore. "I think... he... he is gone..." Mega said, exhausted. Zunar looked at Mega and said: "Thanks, Mega. You saved our lives." Then there was a rumbling sound. The lake's water started to tremble. Everyone looked at the lake, and the dragon came from the depths. "My god, what is it doing in there?!" SMX wondered aloud. Zunar took his bow, loaded an arrow, and shot in the dragon's face, but it didn't seem to even feel it. "Alright, new plan: RUN!!" Zunar said. "Sounds like a good plan to me!" Mega replied. They all turned around and started running, but they saw the rocky mountain behind him. "GOD WHAT THE..." "That mountain wasn't there when we arrived!!" Mega said, shocked. They all turned around again, looked at the dragon in the lake. But he wasn't there anymore. He had risen out of it, and he was in front of them. The dragon threw a fireball at SMX, but Zunar shot an arrow on it, and it flew the fireball back onto the dragon. "Come on, run!" Zunar shouted, and they ran between the dragon's legs. They ran through the forest, the dragon running after them, throwing fireballs at them. "Look!! A manor, there!" Mega said. They ran, and arrived at the huge door. "There is something written on the door... Double Vision Chambers, I thi..." Mega started. "I don't care! Open that door!" Zunar cut in, pushing on the door.
Meanwhile, Runouw was thinking, looking through the window about the new sub forum he wanted to build when Blab, Demonik, and MoD broke in. Runouw turned around, and, without any question, Blab said: "Nope, I didn't find him!" Runouw sighed. "God. What can we do? Do we know where he was?" "Yes," MoD said. "I saw him yesterday at Demonik's Tavern. He was the bartender... I think he was substituting for Buff since he is goddamn sick." "Alright," Runouw said. "Was there someone with him?" "Yes there was," MoD replied. "Zunar and SMX. There were playing with the Wii. Zunar was kicking SMX's butt with Pit... He was winning 17 to..." "Alright," Runouw cut in. "MoD, Blab, go search them." Blab walked away, calling Four to help him. "Runuow, there is a little problem," Demonik said. "You said I mustn't tell anybody about the disappearance, but people will start to worry when they see that the Tavern is not open yet..." "That's true. MoD, can you show Demonik to the tool room? Maybe he can find something to open the door." Runouw said. "Yes, sir. But is it true what Demonik said? I am a Global Moderator?" Runouw nodded and they left.
"Zunar, I think it's not safe in there. Even Mega feels the same way," SMX said. "Well at least it's safer than outside," Zunar replied. Back at the Kingdom of Illusion, in the Double Vision Chambers, our three heroes were walking in a long corridor. There was a noise on their left, a high-pitched noise that went deep into their flesh. Suddenly a loud rumbling noise came out of nowhere, and the green dragon broke the right wall and entered the mansion. "What the heck is happening?!" Zunar shouted, and SMX replied: "Stop asking questions; nobody has the answers!!" Then it was Mega's turned to shout and he said: "Stop arguing about stupid things and lets run!!" And they ran, the dragon chasing them, flapping faster, shooting more fireballs. Zunar noticed a door in the wall, and he pushed it, entering it. The room was very tiny, and a complete silence rang in it... " What the heck is point of this room?! There's nothing in here!" And as they all turned around to get out of the room, but the the door wasn't there anymore. "WTF?! Where is the d-" But Zunar got slapped by SMX before he could finish his question. Mega turned around, and there was a door in the wall they were looking at not even ten seconds ago. They all ran into the door, and fell on the rocky ground of a mountain. Zunar stood up, wondering aloud: "What are we doing here?!" He turned around. "Hey, where did we come from?! There's no door, no manor, no nothing! Well good riddance; I hated that place!!"

"What are we doing here?!"
"Hey, where did we come from?! There's no door, no manor, no nothing! Well good riddance; I hated that place!!"
SMX stood up, and helped Mega doing the same. Zunar was still shouting his rage, when SMX said: "God I have such a headache." Zunar turned around, looked at SMX, and shouted: "THERE! BEHIND YOU!" There was a loud roar, and the dragon landed exactly where Mega was two seconds ago. SMX took his spambot's cannon, loaded his shot, but the dragon stood up, and slapped SMX's face. "NOOO!" Zunar shouted, as SMX was lying at the right end of the cliff, his head fifty meters above the ground, bleeding. "Mega, go help him! You have some medicine in your bag! I handle this F***ING dragon!" And as he shouted this, the dragon turned around, to face Zunar. Mega put the bag on the floor, took a bottle of purple liquid in his bag, and pourred it on SMX's head... Zunar avoided a fireball, and the dragon turned around, kicking Zunar's legs with his tail. Zunar fell on the floor, exhausted, and the dragon turned around, to give the final blow, and the dragon kicked Mega's bag as he turned around, and it fell fifty meters lower... "NOOOO, MEGA, YOUR BAG!!" Zunar shouted. "FF**CCKK NOOO!!" Mega shouted. And the dragon turned his head, slowly, loaded his final blow... Zunar was lying on the ground, half unconscious; waiting for a miracle...
And sometimes, miracles do happen.
Because while Zunar was waiting for his death, there was a huge explosion next to him, and the dragon turned around. There was a voice, saying: «You can stand up, Zunar.» and Zunar obeyed. He looked at the dragon, and the voice said again: « Go back to your cave, Parayoshi. Dinner is not ready yet. » And the dragon flew away. Zunar's headache stopped, and he could look around again. Mega was helping SMX, always bleeding, and there was someone in front of Zunar, starring at him... He was holding SMX's cannon, and the smoke meant he used it recently. Zunar approached him, and said : « Well, thanks... You saved my life. » He simply said : « You're welcome. » Zunar looked at him, and he asked : « Who are you ? I think I know you. » The mysterious person looked at Zunar, and said : « Well, I am Freezlow. » « Freez...low ? You are a user, aren't you ? Why on Earth are you there ? » « I'm Freezlow. » he repeated. « And I am the Keeper of the Kingdom of Illusion. » Freezlow looked at SMX and Mega. « Let me try to heal him. » He approached SMX, but he didn't even touch him that SMX immediatly stood up, saying : « God I'm ready to go. » Zunar stared at SMX, then said : « Alright... Erm... Oh yeah ! Freezlow, did you ever see someone in your Kingdom ? » Freezlow looked at Zunar, and said : « Nope. You know, I think you may have noticed it, but there is not many visitors here. Because when there is some, the same thing happen everytime... » « What do you mean ? » SMX asked. Freezlow didn't answer, he just pointed something under his foot, and Zunar gasped : « Okay, I see. » as he looked at the skull Freezlow was pointing at. « Why ? » Freezlow asked. « Are you looking for someone ?» Zunar looked at SMX and at Mega, and Mega answered : « Well, we left Runouw City to look for Star king. » Freezlow stared at Mega : « Star king ? Why ? What happened to him ? » Zunar looked at Mega and continued : « Well, spambots attacked, you may know that. During this attack, Star king disappeared... Moderators looked everywhere in the City. But he wasn't there. I think Runouw asked to search outside the City, but unfortunately, Suyo didn't want to. We knew that and we decided to go by ourselves... » « Erm... » Freez said. « Well, Star king is a big friend of mine. He sometimes came here, and he even helped me building this Kingdom. You can be sure : If he was there, I would know it straight away. » « Alright, if you say so... » he looked at SMX taking his bag and Zunar's, smiling though the bags was pretty heavy. « Aw, I almost forgot : Do you have any supplies you can give us ? » « Well, why do I need food ? » Zunar look at him strangely, but Freez didn't mind. « But I can tell you somethin' : You can go at Murderers Town. I know it's not a perfect place, but there is a shop and a tavern. What you need. You just need to go this path : You'll see it's an easy path. I promise you : You'll arrive staright in the town. » « An easy path, what do you mean we are at the top of a... » But as Zunar spoke, he looked around : He wasn't on the mountain anymore, but just next to the lake. He looked at SMX and Mega, and when he turned around to face Freez again, he wasn't there anymore. « What the... » he began. But he didn't have the time to finish his sentence, because as he turned around to find Freez, he heard a echoing voice saying : « Remember to not fear illusions... Remember to not fear illusions... » And he turned around to try to obtain answers from Mega or SMX he just heard SMX saying : « Maybe he has gone somewhere but nobody sees him ? »
« Maybe he has gone somewhere but nobody sees him ? » Blab repeated at the same time, but miles further, back in the safe (well, not what all people think) Runouw City, in Runouw's office. « And Zunar and SMX with him ? » « Where ? » Runouw asked, looking through the window. « Well, I think he may have gone far. He took with him Pit's bow, many supplies and... » but Four cut Blab saying : « Well, what we need for a great trip. » « Did you search everywhere ? » « Absolutely everywhere. I have no idea where they may be. » Runouw turned around, facing Blab, MoD (replacing Suyo as Global Mod), Four and Sax (replacing MoD as Moderator), and he said : « I think the answer is simple : If they are not in the city, they are outside it. » MoD approached Runouw's desk : « I don't think that's possible. » Runouw approached the desk too, facing MoD, and said : « Maybe he knew about what happened during the meeting. Where did you hold it ? » « At Demonik's Tavern, in the Moderator Roo-- » He stopped, thinking, but Runouw continued : « That's it ! Mega was bartender this day, and Zunar and SMX was the only ones there. So that's it : we know where they are now... Make a team with a couple of moderators. You can take members with you, though it's dangerous... You are gone tomorrow. » « But... » Sax started to argue. « Please DO NOT say but. Suyo already said it once. Now you go. » And they left thinking about the dangers they are going to face...

"Make a team with a couple of moderators. You can take members with you, though it's dangerous... You are gone tomorrow."
"But..."
"Please DO NOT say but. Suyo already said it once. Now you go."
SMX yawned. "Oh, I'm tired. Night is falling. Where will we sleep?" Zunar looked at the old map, and said: "Well since we really got lost in the Kingdom of Illusion, I have no idea where we are goi--" but as he put the map in his pocket, he noticed a small sign on the left, saying: "Murderers Town". He rised his head, and he saw it: The main street of Murderers Town. Mega smiled sand said: "Well, looks like we aren't far at all!" And they entered the city.
"Ohai! Master1.0, RedLink! MoD and Blablob are puting something on the wall almost everywhere. You should check it out!" Master1.0 looked at AwesomeJRFD, running to them, and said to RedLink: "A global announcement? The Runouw Votes come earlier than last year." RedLink nodded, but he added: "I don't think that's the Runouw Votes. Let's have a look." And they walked in the direction AwesomeJRFD was pointing at.
As they arrived, a whole group of members was surronding a huge poster. RedLink pushed some newbies, apparently very excited, followed by Master and AwesomeJRFD. They arrived in Frond of everybody, and read what was written on the poster...
To all members.
In an important case of emergency for something special, we need more members of staff. That's why we are recruting. The job can be really difficult, so think two times before posting your PM in Runouw's office. Three, four or five of will be chosen. Hurry up. The recruting finishes this evening. You don't have much time.
MoD, Blablob, Global moderators.
Awesome and Master finished reading at the same time, and looked at each other. Master said: "Let's write some PM." RedLink finished reading later and said: "Sounds like a good idea." And they all get out of the crowd pushing some newbies.
"Come on, SMX, I thought you were tired." Zunar said. "Well, I'm tired, and hungry, and thirsty." he said, watching a shop called "The Chocolate's Paradise". "Come on, SMX. We'll have a look inside later." he said, as SMX was entering the shop. But he came back to Zunar, saying: "You promise, right?" "Yes. No let's find some place to slee--" "Zunar?" shouted someone, in the middle of the road. "What are you doing here?" the person continued. "What? I think... I think now that voice... But it can't be. Are you... 24murph?" The person approached, and shaked Zunar's hand. "Zunar! I know it was you when I heard your voice. That make a long time ago since we met for the last time!" 24murph said. "But what are you doing here?" Mega said. "Well, almost everyone said we left the City. Well, this is true, but we didn't left the Island! We're still here, in the case we would like to come back. Some people already have done that, NeroTheDemonslayer, for example, or a guy called Star king... But I could ask the same question... What are YOU doing here? Did you left the City too?" Zunar answered: "No, no. We are looking for some who left the City. That guy called Star king, in fact. Have you seen him recently?" "No." 24murph just answered. "But I guess, coming form Runouw City by walking, you must tired! I guess you try to find a place to pass the night, or something to eat, or to drink?" SMX answered: "YES WE DO!" "Right, I see some of you are interested. I guess it's time to have a look at the Shadow's Tavern." "The Shadow's Tavern? Shadow the Hedgehog?" Mega asked. 24murph laughed. "No! It's named like this because shadowsquid owns it." Zunar got surprised. "WHAT? Shadowsquid is here TOO?"
"To all members of Runouw City. First, thanks to have posted you name in Runouw's Office." MoD said, in the middle of the Chat Park, surrounded by many people, talking in microphone so people could here him on TV, radio, everywhere possible. "We had many PM, and it was hard to decide, but here are the new members of Staff! First, let's all welcome our freindly RedLink as a Staff member! (some applause in the crowd) You can continue, because here is an other one: Venexis! (many applause in the crowd) In third position, we have... Master1.0! (some applause) and finally, we decided to only have four new Staff members, here is the last one... Killswitch! (New applause in the crowd) So please, to all this 4 people: Please go immediatly in Runouw's office and we'll speak about the mission. I would like to see the following Staff members too: Yoshi Boo 118, Blablob, Avolerators and that would be all. Have a good night." There were some disapproval in the Park, as Master1.0 and RedLink left AwesomeJRFD alone, as he was shouting: "THIS IS UNFAIR! I have the right to be a Staff Member!" And they were all heading to the Runouw's office.
They thought it was an easy job, moderate some levels, fight some spambots, ban some people. But it was a lie.
They will have to face what they thought would never be possible.
