Shemaru
You kill the final enemy in one clean swipe. His head is dismembered from his body, and Stuart emits a cry of victory.
"We've done it! We've killed all enemies! Now we'll leave the Shemaru
Plane and return as the winners."
You nod, a feeling of happiness welling up inside you. You've killed all of your enemies, making your team the winners. Any second now you should go back to the real world and tell everyone what the Shemaru Plane was like.
A white light glows around you and Stuart. You grin at each other; it would soon all be over. You are lifted into the sky by the light.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are back in your pod, the one you were in before entering the Shemaru Plane. A mask is covering your mouth, and wires are attached to all parts of your body.
You rip all of the wires off and discard the mask, they were only precautions for the Plane. You press the eject button on your pod and the shield is lifted, exposing you to the bright room around you.
Squinting, you see Stuart has already escaped from his pod. He smiles at you. "No one else is here. They must be in a different room. Let's go tell them we won." You follow Stuart to a door. There are many people inside gathered around a videophone.
"Wait," you stop Stuart. "Look at that!" You point at the screen.
The President of the United States is on! Something must have happened. You and Stuart press your ears against the door, hoping to understand what was going on before barging into the room.
"This is a hostage situation," one of the men in the room tells the President. "Tell the families of the children to pay us or they'll be killed."
The President looks extremely nervous, as if this was the worst crisis he had ever faced. "Well, while it is true that the families of the children now in the Shemaru Plane are wealthy, they just don't have THAT kind of money."
"Nonsense," another man in the room cuts in flatly. "We offered the chance to be the first in the Plane only to the richest families in the world. I'm sure each can spare $500 million. Did you ever wonder why we set the price so high? Soon, the rule of the world by only the wealthiest shall end. The beggars of the world will be kings. If we do not receive this money, the children will die."
Stuart looks at you wide-eyed. These men wanted to kill you both!
"We need to leave. Now," you tell Stuart. "Let's find an alternative way out of this room, and find someone who'll help."
"But who will help?" Stuart inquires. "I bet every worker here is with them!
"We'll find someone," you assure Stuart. "There's another door," you point at the only other door in the room.
You open it and find yourself in the hallway you took to et in the room. Thankfully, it is deserted. You pass through this hall into the larger antechamber.
Unfortunately, the door to the exterior of Asian Amusements is guarded by two men with guns. As the weapons you had in the Shemaru Plane were virtual, you are empty-handed.
"What do we do?" Stuart asks, sounding very scared. You inspect your surroundings, finding that there are a few bars on the ground you could club them with, or maybe you could throw one of the metal orbs that are scattered through the room. Or you could try to find another way.
