Onboard Stealth Phrygian<\/em> somewhere on the outskirts of Bosstown:<\/p>\n

After about thirty seconds of thought and reasoning, Jai Qiao was still trying to pick the best response.\u00a0 There were several ways this challenge could go.\u00a0 In this game, one response could change the way the whole round ends.\u00a0 After a short chain of responses, even the smartest player could find himself trapped with no more correct answers to choose from.\u00a0 This match was timed however and he was running out of it.\u00a0 In a hurry, he just went with his gut.\u00a0 \u201cPeanut,\u201d he said with his best game face.<\/p>\n

Cyd spun in the soft black chair without a hint of stress.\u00a0 At the point where he would be able to see Jai clearly he said, \u201cTurnip.\u201d\u00a0 He continued spinning until he was facing away from his opponent again.<\/p>\n

His quick response put Jai at a loss.\u00a0 Jai was the champion here, but this new guy\u2019s answer was good.\u00a0 Not only was it quick, it put Jai back at a worse position he was at before.\u00a0 Now he had to pick from the same word set but had one less correct choice.\u00a0 Well, there was no point in Cyd being the only one getting a speed bonus.\u00a0 \u201cPecan,\u201d Jai said quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cStop,\u201d Keyanna Bo said, \u201cYou\u2019re making me hungry.\u201d\u00a0 She wasn\u2019t the only one that was hungry.\u00a0 All of GardNAnge1 was there minus the two members they were waiting for, eleven of them including Cyd.\u00a0 They were promised good food, so they all waited.\u00a0 Granted the anticipation didn\u2019t make the wait any more bearable.<\/p>\n

Cyd ignored her.\u00a0 He had to think a little more to come up with an answer this time.\u00a0 Still, he found one rather quickly.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t turn in his spinning chair this time.\u00a0 Instead, he called loud enough for Jai to hear from behind him, \u201cNutmeg.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGarlic.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Already said Garlic.”<\/p>\n

\u201cOh.\u201d<\/p>\n

And with that, Cyd was the new champion. \u00a0There were only a few cheers from the team.\u00a0 It was hard finding ways to pass the time while they waited for the stragglers.\u00a0 They only really played the game because there was little better to do.\u00a0 Jai had won repeatedly so a change was good.\u00a0 They could all gain a little knowledge from this new guy.\u00a0 Possibly there was more that he could teach them.<\/p>\n

The defeated Jai walked up to the cockpit.\u00a0 Honestly, he was a little relieved that the game was over.\u00a0 He felt slightly smarter after each round, but after a few matches the headaches started.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally done,\u201d April Jing asked.\u00a0 Jai nodded in response.\u00a0 \u201cGood,\u201d she said, \u201cGot some blips on the radar.\u00a0 I think they\u2019re almost here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stealth Phrygian<\/em> was Tirzah\u2019s favorite ship to use when the whole team was traveling.\u00a0 It had flying and climbing capabilities that far surpassed any of their enemies.\u00a0 It was also capable of housing the whole team plus any guests they may come across.<\/p>\n

April was the best pilot of the team while Jai came in a close second.\u00a0 Together they were pilot and copilot.\u00a0 They had moved Stealth Phrygian<\/em> to a much better place in the outskirts of town; much closer.\u00a0 However, the journey would still be hard for creatures only a few centimeters in height.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrap in,\u201d April called out over the com, \u201cWe\u2019re going to pick them up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within minutes, they landed near the two warriors and their sandwich holding companion. \u00a0After a few minutes, they all loaded up and were again in the air this time headed for Sanity.\u00a0 The sandwiches were dispensed.\u00a0 However, after the long journey, they were not in peak condition.<\/p>\n

Grabbing her sandwich, Keyanna turned up her nose, \u201cOh, these sandwiches are cold.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCold food is food,\u201d Hachiro said, \u201cWeren\u2019t you the one complaining about being hungry?\u201d<\/p>\n
