She threw the star directly at his legs, cutting the ropes that bound them.

I so called that!

"Well, it's about time you decided to show up!" Elliot shouted at his ally. "What took you so long?"

Elliot then jumped down from the vine, in order to aid his friend. In a flurry of stars and arrows, Dyle cried out in pain. It then summoned a mob of Ligators to aid in it battle.

"You get the boss, I'll get the minions." Elliot told the archer, as he threw three stars at the nearest Ligator.

The battle raged on for over 10 minutes. When one Ligator died, two more showed up in it's place.

"It seems we're outmatched." said the thief. "I think it's best for us to retreat back to the city."

"We can't go back there." Ventus shouted at his ally. "...uh, let's go into the forest and regroup there.

Dyle kept summoning more and more monsters while at the same time healing himself. Dyle stood up to perform the final blow but Ventus shot a flurry of arrows at the belly of the beast making Dyle scream in pain.

"Let's go!" Ventus signaled to his ally while running towards the forest.

Kent just accepted this test. The test was to gather up 1000 holy waters. As he went out to get the waters, he saw a bolt of thunder shoot by him. A bolt of thunder that suspiciously looked like the one fired from his missing "stun gun". Surprised, he grabbed his pistol and looked around. There was no one there. Just then, another bolt hit his pistol, knocking it out of his hand. As he walked to pick it up, something restrained him and the pistol appeared to be floating in the air, being held by an invisible person. All he could remember after that was that something smelled strange.

He later woke up in a jail cell. To his surprise, Gaga was also in the cell.

"What happened?" Kent asked.

Gaga replied, "We've both been caught"

Kent was puzzled, "Oh. But why are you here?"

"Apparently, I helped you hide. We're both being executed tomorrow. Any idea on how to escape?"

Kent looked around. Unfortunately, the jail cell didn't have bars or anything that could help them escape. It was more of a giant metal box. Also, it was completely empty, except for himself and Gaga.

"Where are we?" Kent wondered.

"We are in the Agent's highest security jail in the Kerning Swamp. Its only possible to keep up to 2 people here because its only one cell. Also, for execution, we are shot by a human catapult at Dyle"

Kent began to pound on the walls to try to tell how thick they were. They weren't that thick.

"This isn't that thick. Why is it highest security?" he wondered.

"We are in the middle of Kerning swamps. Our weapons are several miles away. The walls are diamond-plated. Anything else you want to know?"

"How do they put us in this cell?"

"They don't. The leave us here and then make the cell around us"

Kent then began to kick the wall.

"What are you doing?" Gaga inquired.

"You'll see," he smirked.

Kent then tried to use somersault kick on the wall. No success. Flash fist didn't work either.
Out of frustration, he punched the wall as hard as he could. To his surprise, he ended up using what he later found out was the skill Corkscrew. The corkscrew smashed the wall open, sending it across the swamps and having it hit Dyle directly in the face. Dyle then charged at Kent. Luckily, Dyle was already weakened by a blind archer who had come through here. Even then, Dyle was still strong. Dyle used that stick to get all the ligators and crocodiles of the swamp to attack Kent and Gaga. In the huge frenzy of the battle between Kent and Gaga, Dyle was slain by a Knight of Cygnus, who had slain it because it was getting in the way of research involving traces of the black magician.

Although Dyle was dead and the mind-control of the ligators and crocodiles was gone, the ligators and crocodiles were still angry. Thats when Kent thought to combine somersault kick and corkscrew. Gaga however, did not know how to fight. And so, when Kent and Gaga were separated by huge mobs of Ligators and Alligators, Gaga died.

Kent then grabbed Gaga's body and ran into the forest, where he bumped into two adventurers who were as injured as Kent were.

"We need help," Kent pleaded with the adventurers.

The adventurers, who did not know much about Kent and his past, offered to help.

According to Balmung, you have to confirm all actions with other people through PMs. So, you can't speak for us.

Elliot ran with the archer into the dark forest surrounding the quiet town of Sleepywood, throwing stars at the monsters as they appeared.

While resting in a safe spot in the overgrown vegetation, a stranger stumbled onto their spot. It appeared to be a pirate, carrying the body of a Maple Agent.

With no warning, Elliot grabbed his Razor, only hesitating to ask, "Who are you and what do you want?"

I loled at Kents story.

---

Ventus was finally on ground he could handle, and the dark forest's scent wasn't too powerful. He felt as if he had regained his sight again.

He and his new friend Elliot rushed through the forest shooting anything that he felt held hostility toward him. After taking a powerful blow from an Evil Eye, Ventus and Elliot took a rest under a large fern. They talked about their pasts, what happened in between the giant mushroom and Dyle, and a lot of other things.
All of a sudden a strange man came walking up to the two friends. The man was holding a heavy object over his shoulder and appeared to be talking to himself but Elliot knew it was an earpiece that Maple Agents used. Ventus knew of the Maple Agents but had never met one in person.
Elliot was ready for a fight but Ventus knew the man wasn't a threat to either of them.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Elliot said alert and ready to attack.
"We need help." replied the agent. He seemed weak and ready to collapse at any moment. The agent put down the heavy object and Ventus knew it was human. There were no life signs coming from this man as he lay on the floor unmoving. Elliot was still alert but Ventus stood up and limped over to the body. He curiously felt his face. Ventus knew who this person was. The caretaker of the Maple Tree and suddenly Secret Agent Gaga. Ventus stood up with tears streaming down his face.
"Gaga, you're such an idiot." He whispered to himself. "You just had to go and make yourself an agent, huh? Typical Gaga...*chuckle*"

Ventus walked back to his spot under the fern leaving his friend confused. He sat down quietly and let the two talk.

The earpiece malfunctioned. Anything that Kent said on the earpiece ended up being sent back to him.

"Dammit!" shouted Kent, frustrated.

To his surprise a voice on the receiver said, "What?"

"Finally. I thought Agent E fiddled with the exiled agent's receivers. How'd you pick me up?"

As it turned out, the exiled agents had made their own organization. One less cruel but with the skills of the maple agents. Agent E made the mistake of fiddling the receivers in a way that the ones that malfunctioned could talk to each other.

"I got someone. We might be able to get help," He tole the other two adventurers, "First though, we have to give Gaga a proper burial"

The voice on the receiver said,"Since Gaga was a member of the orignal Maple Agents, you should give him the burial that the maple agents did. Its also done by magicians of olde when they were defeated. Burn his body"

"Why would they burn their bodies?" asked Kent surprised

"That way, all secrets will be kept secrets. And, no one else can use the body as zombies"

"How are we supposed to burn it?"

Hikaric - I don't have a problem with it. =\

---

"Well, how do you think we burn it Kent? Just let it sit out, rot, and have the curse eyes have their way with it?" Elliot said, firmly, yet with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. "Don't you have matches or something? Aren't Maple Agents always supposed to be prepared for the worst?"

Kent just stared into the fire.

"And what do you suppose we do now? The three of us are now outlaws. Where do we go? Who can we tru-!" Elliot suddenly stopped.

He slightly turned his head to some bushes. In a split second, his arm blurred and then a "Thunk" of a star hitting a tree trunk.

"Well, well, it appears we have a visitor." Elliot said, turning back to the fire. "Come on out and show yourself. There's no point in hiding."

There was a fire? I thought you couldn't light a fire in a swamp. The moisture would just let it out. Oh and lol at agent Z's note.

---

The visitor, a magician, showed himself. Meanwhile, a few miles away, the black magician was thinking.

The black magician. How arrogant he looked. The foolish cygnus thought they had destroyed him. Those idiots, no one ever destroys the black magician, he thought. Although the cygnus thought they had destroyed him, all they had done was burn his main body. The black magician then went out to search for a body good enough to inhabit, and later possess...

Back in the kerning swamps, the four adventurers were trying to find some way of getting to an exotic town where they aren't outlaws.

"Leafre sound good to you?" asked Kent.

The other adventurers, who had only heard of Leafre in story, didn't know where it was, or even if it existed. Even then, they thought of it like the story about the legendary Horntail, full of danger from creatures.

"Leafre actually isn't a forest full of dragons. If it was, then I wouldn't suggest it," Kent said surprised, for he had never heard of the story of the Horntail, "if you don't believe me, I'll go myself. The problem is getting there. Back when I was working with the black magi-"

The magician, who finally figured who Kent was, blasted a huge bolt of energy at him. Kent, who was used to being suddenly attacked, easily dodged the bolt and was about to counter. But he stopped himself.

"Let me explain," he said, but the adventurers were on him.

Frustrated, he used corkscrew and knocked the adventurers off him.

"Great, now even what I thought were my friends are after me. I really need to find a way into Leafre," he murmured.

As he ran, he would occasionally punch the monsters and run away, luring all the monsters of the swamp to him. Like he predicted, all the monsters created a huge barrier that kept the adventurers away. To his surprise, all of the monsters sudden were attracted into what appeared to be another ball of energy. This time, they were absorbed, creating a human body with a face that Kent thought looked a little like his face.

The body then started doing massive destruction with spells. Kent proceeded to attack it, but it was too strong. It blasted him away with a blast of magic before he could get anywhere close enough to attack. Just then, the adventurers caught up. What they later found out was the black magician attacked them too. During the battle, Kent explained about why he worked for the black magician. Luckily, the howling winds from the powerful magic prevented the black magician from hearing.

The adventurers fought their hardest, but the black magician was too strong. Elliot was the first to retreat, and so, he didn't take any damage. Unfortunately, Kent was the last one to leave, because he had found an opening. But, he was then blasted through the forest, causing even more destruction.

A man, who appeared to be levitating, said to the adventurers, "You destroy my forest, you pay"

Exhausted, Kent said, "Pay what?"

"Pay with work. You work all day helping clear ant tunnel"

Just then, Kent fainted from exhaustion.

"No work, no life," the man harshly said.

Kent - What just happened? You were talking about Leafre, and then you were attacked? Or you attacked us?

I'll add some more story later. I'm in a crunch for time right now =\
