The Legendary Ghost Curse
DEPARTURE

"Enjoy what? You two have been here since, right?" Ask Clara to Arthur and Ace.

Arthur and Ace did not reply, they were both compact looking at each other with different facial expressions.

Arthur looked at Ace with a sharp gaze and a flat face, while Ace looked at Arthur with a sinister smiling face.

"Hey! Why don't you two answer?!" Clara Excited.

"Hehe didn't, we both just played here" Ace said.

"played? Hm..." Clara looked at Arthur and Ace alternating with suspicious looks.

Getting a suspicious look, Arthur immediately explained to Clara so that the girl did not misunderstand.

"Ah well, I was training with Ace, right Ace?" Arthur nudged Ace's arm to say his word.

"Yes, I trained him" Ace said.

"Practiced? What are you practicing?" Clara asked back with her stolen gaze.

"Fight, I tested his Demon abilities" Ace said, holding Arthur's shoulder.

Clara is shocked to hear that Ace has just fought Arthur.

"Aces! You're..." Clara looked at Ace with a look of disbelief.

"He made it out of my Stardust's emptiness dimension" Ace cut.

"What?!!" Clara was shocked again to the point of screaming.

Arthur does not understand why Clara looks so surprised when she hears she has managed to get out of the dimension of emptiness that belongs to Ace.

"Wait, did you really make it out of the emptiness dimension??" Ask Clara.

"Emm, yes" replied Arthur innocently.

Clara looked at Ace again, Ace then smiled and nodded her head at Clara.

"Huh, I see, fine then" said Clara with a sweet smile.

Now, replace Arthur who looked at Clara in wonder. He did not understand why the girl could quickly change her attitude.

"Have no thought, now that we enjoy the time we have left, maybe tomorrow one of us will not survive" Ace said, embracing Arthur's shoulder.

Arthur replies to Ace's embrace, looks at Clara and sees the girl smiling at both of them.

"So... We're all three ready to die, are we?" Arthur said and was followed by laughter from his two friends.

In between his laughter, Arthur had a glance towards Ace. Arthur saw that his new friend was actually laughing out loud.

It's possible that what Ace said was true, one of the three of them might not return safely tomorrow.

Or even, it was possible that the three of them had both not survived. So, Arthur as much as possible will enjoy the atmosphere before he is on his way to the city of the dead later in the afternoon.

...In the afternoon......

Fergie and the other colony leaders have again gathered the teenagers in front of the hotel courtyard. They all lined up neatly, each row consisting of 3 teenagers.

Everyone had their own groups, Arthur, Ace and Clara were marching in the front row.

"You know that if there is no guarantee that you can all return safely, then if any of you feel doubt and do not want to come, please say now" joker opened the announcement that afternoon.

Some teenagers looked astonished when they saw the chairman speaking in a cold tone. Usually, the Joker would speak in his creepy laughing voice.

Therefore, some teenagers who are originally afraid and do not want to come to be silent and do not speak.

However, there was one group that suddenly compactly shouted towards the Joker.

"We don't want to come!"

"Yes, we want to stay here!!"

Joker immediately looked at the three teenagers who shouted. The Joker continued to stare at them sharply even without his trademark smile.

The three teenagers were also staring back at the Joker. However, when they looked at him, there was a faint shadow of a creature that was visible behind him.

"Hihi, Dead 13" said the Joker, smiling at the three teenagers.

"That-that's..." Clara's eyes rounded when she saw the presence of the creature.

"Hmm, so that's Angel belonging to the Joker master" Ace said when he saw the creature.

"The creature, it's really terrible" Arthur said.

"So, you guys really didn't come? Hihihi" said the Joker accompanied by his horrible laughing voice.

The three teenagers who objected earlier immediately re-formed a line. They suddenly abandoned their intention of not taking part in the mission to the dead city.

"Heh, I think I heard three stupid kids saying they didn't want to come, where are they now?" The Joker put up his ear, he tried to lure the three teenagers back.

However, the three teenagers remained silent and did not dare to speak. According to them, it was better for them to go to the city of the dead than to die at the hands of their crazy chief.

"Joker, back off now" Joseph held the Joker's shoulder and told him to back off.

The Joker complied and retreated to change positions with Fergie, the old man came forward and wanted to make an announcement again.

"I won't say much, I just want to say, I love you all!!" Excited Fergie to all the teenagers who were marching under her.

The old man was seen back and went straight into the hotel. Joseph immediately replaced him.

"Well, it's time for you to go, get them all, Sun Go Kong!!" Exclaimed Joseph.

Instantly, a creature similar to an ape and carrying a wand of light appeared in front of the ranks of the teenagers.

Not stopping there, the creature named Sun Go Kong suddenly pulled out his clone. Each of the clones stepped up and approached each group that lined up.

"They will take you to the city of the dead, follow their steps or you will die!!" Joseph shouted back to the teenagers who were marching.

"Hmm, Ace is it possible that we'll be separated from the rest of the group?" Arthur asked when he saw one of the Sun Go Kong coming to him.

"It seems so" Ace replied.

"This is Mr. Joseph's Angel" Clara said.

"But, how could this Angel possibly have walked so far that Mr. Joseph was here?" Ask Arthur.

"The chairman has a very strong Angel, not only that, the Angel they have also has a unique power of its own" Ace replied as he looked towards Joseph and the other chairmen.

"We may still be safe if this Angel is next to us, but later when we get there, Mr. Joseph will definitely call back the Angel" said Clara.

Sun Go Kong has finished cloning. Now, all the groups had been accompanied by one Sun Go Kong who would deliver them to the dead city.

"All right, go now!!!" With orders from Joseph, all Sun Go Kong immediately stepped out of the colony.

Each Sun Go Kong took a different path, they all split but they headed to one destination, the city died.
