Chapter 66: Downward Trek Tower 2 Part 7
And with that, the search for the other half of the password begins. They soon arrived at the first box label "PTM 18776". They also need to be cautious because of the phantoms lurking inside.
"I'll open the cage. Leona, Jasper, get behind me," Leona says.
Leona frowns, "Tch, don't order me around."
"Then next time, I request you move back to a safe distance BEFORE I have to ask," Jamil says.
Leona sighs.
"Going by the other open cages, I should be able to open it right... here," Jamil says, and casts his magic at the cage, "Hrah!" and soon breaks the cage open.
Just then, there is a loud roar, "GWAAARGH!"
Jamil says, "Leona, Jasper, it's a Phantom!"
"Yeah, I got that. Now let's get rid of it," Leona says.
"Let's do it," Jasper says.
The three boys begin to fight off the phantom inside the cage. With how strong Leona and Jamil are, it's actually been easy to defeat it. After defeating the phantom with their magic, the Phantom dissolves into a puddle.
"What's the rest of the password?" Leona questions.
Jamil grabs the paper and reads, "Let's see... It says 'lion.'"
"Lion?" Leon questions.
"I believe that means the full password is 'dour lion.'" Jamil says with a smirk.
Jasper snicker as he covers his mouth, trying his best not to laugh.
Leona frowns in response, "That ain't funny."
Jamil then types in the password, but the password is declined.
"Hm, it didn't work. But it was so spot on..." Jamil says.
"Everyone's a comedian, huh?" Leona says, annoyed.
Jasper thinks and says, "Maybe, all these papers have a paper, but only one of them is the right word."
"I believe you're right, Jasper. This one must be a decoy, to throw us off" Jamil says.
Soon, Leona walks to the next cage that reads, "PTM 28155."
"Next is that cage there," Leona says.
"All right. Allow me," Jamil says.
Leona scoffs, "Hah. Who knew Scarabia's vice housewarden was so childish? You see a box and just have to open it."
"Wha... I was just..." Jamil is taken aback, but sighs, "There's no point to trying to explain things to him. I'll just do my job. Hngh!"
And with that, Jamil casts his magic on the cage, and the Phantom comes out through the hole.
As it lets out a, "GYAAAH!"
"And there it is. Let's wrap this up quick," Leona says, as he and the others bring out their magepens.
The three boys attack the Phantom as it comes out of the box. The Phantom retaliates, but the three boys fight it off until it's defeated. Soon, it dissolves into a puddle of ink.
Soon, Leona finds the other half, "Ah, here's the password."
"It says... 'fin present'? What does that mean?" Jamil says, confused.
"That's weird," Jasper says.
"... If you put 'dour' in the middle of that, it says 'find our present.'" Leona points out.
"Alright, this is already getting ridiculous," Jasper says.
"He's toying with us," Jamil says.
Leona then types in the password, but it doesn't work either.
"And it doesn't work anyway," Leona says.
Jamil grows frustrated, "Rgh. My patience is wearing thin..."
"Let's just find another box," Jasper says.
Soon, the three walk to another cage that reads "PTM 11913" on the side.
Jamil holds out his magepen, "Stand back. I'm opening another cage!"
"You're just embarrassing yourself with this whole song and dance. Enough with the pseudo-altruism. Just get it over with," Leona says, annoyed.
With that, Jamil casts his magic on the box, creating a big hole.
And soon, the Phantom lets out a loud screeching sound.
The three boys once again fight another Phantom, and this one is almost as big as Jamil and Leona. The three continue to fight the Phantom and are able to defeat it. Once they defeat it, the Phantom dissolves into ink.
"There. That takes care of the Phantom," Jamil says.
"Is there a note?" Leona asks.
"Let me see..." Jamil says, looking around, but quickly finds the paper, "Ah, there it is."
"What's it say?" Leona asks.
"Yeah. What does it say?" Jasper asks.
"It's..." Jamil says, reading it, but quickly says, "... You know what, let me just try it first."
Jamil walks to the keyboard and types in the code. Soon, the door opens.
"It opened! Looks like that was it," Jamil says.
"I thought the squirt might've been lyin' about the whole thing, but I guess not," Leona says.
"At least it worked, let's get out of here," Jasper says.
Then Leona asks, "So, what was the password?"
"You're better off not knowing. It puts me in a rather foul mood," Jamil says.
"Just spit it out," Jamil says.
"It can't be that bad," Jasper asks.
Jamil takes a deep breath and says, "The note said, 'best!'"
"Best?" Jasper says, confused.
So if you put that together with the other half..."do ur best!,"" Leona says.
Realizing what the message says, Leona is stunned, "Are you KIDDING me?!" and grows angry, "Those guys are just messin' with us!"
"See? Now you're angry. That's why I didn't want to tell you," Jamil says.
"That is so not cool of them," Jasper says with a deep frown on his face.
