All 13 of them nodded eagerly .
"Third Brother," I called out .
"Here, Master!"
"Bring me up later and have them follow us . "
"No problem, Master . "
"Let's rest for a bit, everyone . I'll call you guys when it's time," I instructed .
"Rest? You mean sleep, Master?"
"It's too early to sleep, Master . "
"I can't sleep this early, Master . "
I raised my hand and all of them immediately quietened down .
"Rest now because a big battle is coming up soon," I said .
"Big battle?"
"Really, Master?"
"Someone's coming?"
"Is he very powerful?"
"Maybe, but that has nothing to do with the enemy . We all might die," I added .
"Die? I'm immortal . "
"That's right!"
"We have 72 lives!"
"Don't worry, Master . We won't die even if you do . "
"How can you say that, Eighth Brother? Do you wanna become the 13th?"
"I was wrong, Master . Don't mind my words . I'll take a nap now . "
The first monkey lied down and the others followed suit .
I opened my booklet and eyed the soil stuck on the pen .
I rubbed it against my pants to clean them .
I then opened the pen cap and started writing, "Give me a s.p.a.cesuit . "
Blue light . Black booklet .
I looked up into the sky and saw a box dropping .
I opened the box and an extremely thin s.p.a.cesuit sat inside it .
Without hesitation, I put it on .
I was fully armed .
I put the headgear on; when the visor is closed, energy would be released inside .
I waited for the sky to darken and brighten, and for the battle to start .
The Sun there rotated once in 24 hours, with the big tree as its axis . Take a few steps forward and you'll see the bright sky .
Of course, you'll still have to wait for the real morning to reach overhead .
Seconds ticked by and I became increasingly nervous .
I sat under the big tree as the sun rose gradually behind my back .
I spotted an approaching planet and immediately tapped Third Brother, who was beside me .
Third Brother tumbled to his feet . "What is it, Master? Aye? Why are you wearing this?"
"Don't mind that, wake everyone up . "
"Battle time!" he roared .
"Battle time!"
"Time!"
Everyone got up within seconds .
"What's with your clothes, Master?"
"Yeah, so strange . "
"Why are you dressed like this?"
. . .
I pointed at the s.p.a.ce between both planets and ignored their questions . "This way . Let's go . "
"Aren't we battling, Master?" Third Brother asked .
"The enemy is here, Master . Why aren't we fighting?"
"Why are we flying there?"
"Yeah!"
I pushed the visor down and said sternly, "Just follow me and stop wasting time . Speed up . "
Third Brother nodded before grabbing me and flying upward . The rest quickly followed behind us .
We were trapped in a closed system, where everything within circulated endlessly .
During a PK, however, both planets will collide .
The connection point would be the weakest by theory .
What would happen if we hit that position?
I felt rather uncomfortable . It was an extremely dizzy ride .
Third Brother flew me back and forth, something I saw that the rest were doing as well .
"What are we doing, Master?" Third Brother questioned .
"Perhaps it's the wrong position . Inch forward a little," I ordered .
Whether it was the weightlessness or the dizziness, I didn't know, but I was on the verge of throwing up .
Third Brother slowly adjusted his position and the other monkeys followed suit .
"Sixth Brother has disappeared, Master," Third Brother stated .
"Where did he go missing? Fly in that direction . "
"This is so strange . Everything around us is crumbling . "
"Crumbling?" I repeated .
"It has become red . I think it's about to collapse," he replied .
"We must get out before it collapses . "
Sixth Brother was probably at the connection point between both planets .
Third Brother adjusted my position and the weightlessness vanished .
I floated in the air as he looked on, bewildered .
Sixth Brother was floating by our side as well .
Below us were two parallel s.p.a.ces and in the center were two colliding planets .
Surrounding it, on both sides, were emerging LED and strange characters .
The left side was red .
The right side was blue .
My face was on the blue LED board .
There was also a row of ranking at the extreme corner and I was actually ranked first .
There was a big lounge not far away and the odd, big-headed aliens were looking at us .
Third Brother asked, "What is this, Master?"
"Fly there," I said, pointing at the lounge .
He nodded and Sixth Brother made a dash for it, with us right behind his heels .
I looked down at the two square s.p.a.ces; the red was gone .
We broke into the interior and landed steadily .
"So many strange monsters," Third Brother commented .
"I'll go check it out and be back soon, Master," Sixth Brother said .
Both monkeys moved lightning fast, easily smas.h.i.+ng the aliens in the room .
Green substances flew all over the room, these aliens didn't stand a chance .
Only one alien was left and the monkeys were arguing over who gets to kill it .
"Stop!" I shouted .
No echo .
Both stowed away their staffs and waited .
The big-headed alien opened its mouth but all that came out was a piercing sound wave .
"What are you exactly?" I asked .
The alien put on a helmet from the side and spoke again, "Don't move . This is just a game . "
"Explain," I demanded .
The alien pointed far away and said, "I'm just an employee . This is just a game show for a TV channel called Wildest Fantasy . "
"Wildest Fantasy?" I repeated .
"You're number 1 on the show," it informed me .
"Number 1? Where did those people who turned to ashes go?" I asked .
"Their data have been erased," it answered .
"What do you mean?"
"You guys are just creatures created from data from all over the world," it explained .
"You're telling me that I'm just a combination of numbers? The real me is still on Earth? I'm just a game character used for your entertainment?"
"Yes . "
"Why me?"
"Imagination is an ability evident in few planets . It will suppress science and technological
advancement . "
"What nonsense are you saying? Suppress advancement?"
"You don't understand . When we b.u.mp into something we don't know, we seek out its essence and the reason for it . Mistakes come with imagination . We have evolved away from this . As such, we are the wisest creatures . We do not imagine the possibilities . Our instinctive mode of operation is to find a straight answer . We found out that planet Earth still contains imagination, which is scarce and hence precious . Thus, we made a game out of it, letting you guys fight it out using your imagination . This program is the second most popular show right now, and you're the star of the show . You have many fans . "
I raised the booklet . "What is this then?"
"Realization machine, to actualize the product of your imagination . Yours is the restricted
version so you can only use it once in 24 hours," it explained .
"I can use this here, too?" I asked .
"Of course . "
"How do I remove the restriction?"
The alien pointed at a gla.s.s cabinet not far away . There was a book in it .
"This is a souvenir, meant as a gift, but is useless since we do not have imagination . "
The book on display was much bigger than my own .
"You may not have imagination, but I do," I said .
"What?" it asked, somewhat puzzled .
"Break the gla.s.s, Third Brother . Kill it, Sixth Brother," I ordered .
Shattered gla.s.s and green substance filled the entire room .
The door suddenly blasted open and over ten armed aliens charged in .
"Go, monkeys!" I shouted .
As they made their attacks, I opened the book . It was completely empty inside .
I took my fountain pen and wrote with a smile, "Let me understand their knowledge . "
With the flash of a blue light, I felt my train of thought expanding and surging .
The pen in my hand started moving non-stop .
Monkey kings appeared from thin air, one after another, and pounced onto the incoming aliens .
I walked to a side and picked up the alien's microphone . A piercing sound came out of my mouth, but I knew that I was telling the TV program viewers that I have conquered them .
The gla.s.s walls came cras.h.i.+ng down and other building structures fell into view .
All sorts of oddly-shaped flying objects started shooting at us .
My pen continued moving above the paper and a row of interstellar G.o.d clan appeared .
The AI quickly blocked off the incoming laser rays .
"Adapt to the environment here," I wrote, before removing my headgear and breathing in the surrounding gas .
I felt perfectly fine .
I had complete control over my imagination .
"Soak in the fine company of thought and imagination, you despicable doers!"
All 13 of them nodded eagerly . Third Brother, I called out . Here, Master Bring me up later and have them follow us . No problem, Master . Let 39 s rest for a bit, everyone .
