Running man: Darkness strikes back

Chapter 9: Operation 5 scrolls

<Tree city>

Liu's POV

After we went back from the mong shrine and secure the ninja scroll, we went back to tree city. "The ninja scroll is secured but... what about the others?" I said "The warrior, spy, royalty and magic scrolls are still out there" I added "Should we secure their scrolls as well?" Kuga asked "Of course we do! We need to find the original 5 and secure their scrolls" I replied "Wait what about Manus? The warrior part of the original 5. He's already captured" Miyo said. Then I realized something "Wait, What if they wanted us to think that way? They wanted us to think that they already got the warrior scroll while they find the scroll without any trouble" "But why wouldn't they just get the scroll while they're there?" Lonky asked "2 Reasons. 1. They're exhausted and 2. They don't know where the scroll is so they needed to ask Manus" I said "So that means king Manus is ok" A familiar voice said. Everybody look around and saw "LEX!" everybody shouted "Hey running man" He replied. "What are you doing in Tree city?" I asked "I want to find king Manus and this is a good place to start also I overheard your conversation about King Manus so I'll help too" He said and I nodded and explain everything. "So we're talking about the original 5 eh?" He said "Yep and king Manus is one of it" I said "We also need to secure their scrolls because something bad is going to happen" I added "Ok" He said "So what's the plan Liu?" Miyo asked "I call this project... OPERATION FIVE SCROLLS!" I said as I put my finger on my glasses and push it up. "Let's recap the original 5" I said "Master said they are Diamond Wing from the peacock tribe, Elenna from an unknown tribe, Manus from the leo tribe and Tala from the impa tribe" Gai said "So we have 4 remaining members... 2 of us needed to team up and split up to find the members" I said "Me and Lonky will find Diamond Wing, Gai and Miyo will find Elenna, Kuga and Lex will secure the leo tribe while Popo and Pala will find Tala" I added. "Wait why do I need to be with you huh?" Lonky protested "I needed a royal class to accompany me meeting Diamond Wing. You might know some royalty stuff" I said "I am a prince so I do now about royalty stuff!" He said. "Ok now we need to go to the guardians' path" I said

<Guardians' path entry>

"Alright everybody ready?" I asked. Everyone nodded "Once we secure all the scrolls, we'll meet here again" I said and everybody started running towards their paths "LET OPERATION FIVE SCROLLS BEGIN!" I shouted.
