“My bro and the others will be impressed by my new stats.” He said as Exo appeared with some scratches and wounds as Dark Speed emerged from a shadow. “Well if it isn’t Dark Speed and the Traitor Slayer. Tell me what the hell were you guys doing?” Asked IQ as Exo spat blood at a tiny trash can.

“Tell me something? Did any of you witness your tamed monster evolve into a bitch that fought me because she was laying *#=$in' eggs that I had to help deliver.” She said as Dark and IQ looked at her with shocked looks.

“Shit balls.” Said IQ.

“I am never gonna work in anything involving medicine. I was just training myself and my new skills on a personal ID that I’ve decided to make. How can that brother of yours handle birth?” Said Exo as IQ rolled his eyes ``And I need Game Life’s army of plant girls because those babies grew and wanted a massive pollen to make some honey and jelly for the queen, or I’ll get the stingers through the eyes if I don’t feed them. So what did the Nightmare of Happiness did when the noobs started their new trust training?” Asked Exo as Dark cracked his neck as he looked at them.

“Dark Speed decided to train his skills and the magic between Light and Darkness.” He said as two fires appeared in his palms; one fire burning white in his left and the other fire burning black in his right. IQ looked horrified

“Put that black fire out!!! Don’t you know that we have smoke detectors in this room!!” he yelled as Dark Speed shut his eyes as they vanished.

“It was an illusion of the eyes. Like how heat in the desert, play the eyes and create mirages of our desires.” Said Dark Speed as he pulled out a bar of dark chocolate. IQ looked impressed.

“Very creative Dark.” Said IQ as Exo was eating a large piece of cooked steak.

“At least you guys improved on your magic and I don’t know any spells now that I think about it, magic isn’t my thing in video games. I’m a fighter so can you guys help me with fighting against magic?” Said Exo as IQ put some thought into it.

“Like Black Clover, Magic-slaying techniques are possible. Maybe the internet can help me?” She said as she pulled out her phone. “Does iron hurt magical creatures?”

“Its hurts fairies.” Said Dark Speed. “Dark Speed can create an ID that is mostly monsters that repel, drain and nullify or have high resistance against magic. Shin Megami Tensei games are a perfect example. Imagine equipping yourself with the abilities to absorb magic to heal you or make you immune to elemental or physical damage, perhaps Dark Speed should give this idea to the group and possibly selling to the Abyss Auction?” He said as IQ & Exo gave the thumbs up.

“I would need that for me. Magic is not for me, but I would definitely love to see the idiot who’ll try to hit me with the deadliest magic but dealt no pain to me.” Said Exo with a smug as IQ floated.

“I prefer the physical absorption to heal my wounds.” He said as the Dungeon Door opened behind them “I see our groups have completed the dungeons.” He turned around as Game and Sharp came out with Strong while carrying trash bags.

“I’m thinking we should buy a washing machine and a dryer. I don’t think the monsters would like to wash dirty laundry.” Said Game Life as Sharp put some thought into it.

“Perhaps from the Isekai Manga collection of that man who got reincarnated into a kid with the army of slimes; create that slime that eats filth and releases deodorant spray? Maybe we can get IQ to experiment on that.” Said Sharp as they looked at the trio of their allies.

“IQ.” Said Game.

“Exo.” Said Sharp.

“Baby cakes!” Said Strong happily.

“EEEWWW!!!” Said everyone but Dark as he looked disgusted.

“Stay the hell away from Dark Speed.” He said as he looked at Game Life. “Dark Speed has a gift for Prank and Sea. In case they accidently enter an ID because of Abyss Hunters.” Said Dark Speed as he pulled a child-size UFO as they looked surprised.

“Observe.” Said everyone.

UFT (Unbelievable Flying Toy) Strength: 60, Intelligence: 120, Speed: 90, Weapon Type: Vehicle Weapon, Required Strength: 0, Kid-size for 2. This Toy is believed to be modified by Toymaker from the stars. This spacecraft is equipped with a crane claw from beneath the machine to lift objects or rescue allies, and equip with a plasma forcefield, short-range teleportation & creates clay mold alien troopers (5 troops per day).

They all turn to Dark Speed with shock looks “Dark Speed did collect this from a Toy ID, Dark Speed created for the little ones only. Dark Speed was thinking of their safety in case some fools would dare try to kidnap the innocent bystanders.” Said Dark Speed as he pull out his ax as the group looked worried but Strong Love smile

“He also loves kids. *Swoon* I'll continue to fall for him.” Sharp covered her mouth as she nearly threw up, she swallowed it as she gagged.

“I just swallowed my own vomit.” She said as Game patted her on the back.

“Just try to forget what you heard. I’m doing it now.” He said as the Dungeon Door opened as Large, Cute came out along with Tunes floating in a large round seat as Tunes was playing some beats.

“This is one awesome station of a vehicle! I am gonna rock out in the MFs for the biggest party in monster history when I win the Contest.” Said Tunes as the others were shocked by what she was riding on.

My new DJ station. I got it from the boss, and it feels like I’m now the DJ Queen!” Said Tunes as she spun around in the air as IQ looked at her.

“Or DJ Octavio.” He said as Tunes snarled at him.

“I heard that!” She yelled at IQ as the door opened as Death rolled in as Fancy looked red in the head.

“Hey my Princess Daisy.” Said Game Life as Fancy smiled but frowned.

“Hey… uh… just a warning for Sharp. We had a minor problem in the dungeon. Cards suffered some damage that she’ll need some new clothes because of a boss attack.” Everyone except Death & Dark eyes widen in shock “Don’t worry! She’s not naked.” Some sighed in relief as IQ and Exo snarled in disappointment.

(“I would like to see that.”) Thought Tunes as Cards came in while wearing an Arabian Belly dancer outfit. They all dropped their jaws as Cards smirked.

“Remember Stripper Rules.” Said Cards.

“Look but don’t touch.” Said Exo as Sharp looked annoyed.

“Get her some clothes… PLEASE!!!” Yelled Sharp as she walked away as Fancy dragged Cards to the 3rd floor. Sharp sighed angrily.

“I’m starting to think, I need to hang out with kids my age.” She said as she pulled out a juice back. “Or if my body ages until I’m tall as Tunes.” She answered as she headed to the 2nd floor.

“You could spend time with Prank and Sea.” Said Game “I mean you’re only one year older than them.” As Sharp looked at him as she sighed.

“Fine but if something involves that Barney the Dickasaur, the 3D animated talking trains or this century educational programs than I’ll be a guns a blazing on the tv!!!” She yelled as Game raised his hands.

“Calm down! Even I’m not that evil to do that to the new generation of kids and a fellow friend of mine.” He said as IQ sighed.

“The programs for education these days are somehow becoming lazy and shitty.” They all nodded since it’s true.

10 minutes later

Everyone was on the 1st floor, the Arcade as Cards was wearing some clothes from a thrift store. “Not to complain about the clothes but maybe buy some clothes other than a shirt that says, ‘Bastard Queen’?”

“Yeah that’s from me.” Said Exo “A store sells them in bulk where I’m from.”

“Anyway…” said IQ “Now, will the volunteers come up and explain to the rest about your experience with the possible ex-members.” He said.

“Hey!!!”

“Dark Speed’s words, not mine.” he said as Game, Sharp, Tunes, Large, and Fancy stood up.

“Well… After spending time with Strong, she’s a bit too love-stricken on a certain member but she’s a great teammate who cares about others.” Said Game.

“Plus she’s great in aiding with a team attack.” Said Sharp “That Mana Power Bomb helped take down the Dungeon Boss.” Strong smiled by her comment.

“Thank you but I wish to say something. Can we wash certain loot because of being previously worn by some monsters?” asked Strong as Game and Sharp nodded.

“What loot?” Asked Death as Game pulled out one of the Tiger Skin Briefs which most of everyone eyes widened. “Are those-“

“Yes.”

“A monster”

“Yes.”

“Is there any”

“Not female panties.”

“Damn it.” Said IQ as they covered their noses by the smell.

“Motion accepted. Plus we need a lot of soap to wash them.” Said Exo as Large and Tunes took the stand.

“Cute was a great partner in helping us.” Said Tunes “plus, she’s good with a war hammer. Despite the need for full-body armor is something we need to make. Like something not from an Amusement Park.” Cute looked at the costume and blushed.

“It's comfy inside.” She said as she snuggled against Large.

“Next.” Said Large as Fancy coughed a bit.

“Well… after a little misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding my ass!!!” Yelled Death “Sexy version of the Queen of Hearts & Future Miss Beauty here fought over a bra that the slime monsters dropped on the 1st floor!” He said as Game looked at Fancy.

“So that explains why your chest looks a bit smaller! And I thought it was playing video games for hours in the dark.” He said as Fancy stared at him with anger.

“Must… repress… anger…” Said Fancy

“Calm down, Fancy.” Said Exo “This is the 1st time Game ever said something about your chest. Which still surprises me that I didn’t even notice.” She said as they looked at Game Life.

“I was making sure if you were the real Fancy.” Said Game Life. “I promise that an imposter Fancy will not live if you’re dead.” He said as Large and Death who were near him, moved back a bit.

“Okay, now Game Life is acting like Clockwerk. Without becoming a robot and the thirst for vengeance by wiping an entire family line.” Said Sharp as Fancy looked at him.

“I can’t tell if I should be scared or happy that he cares for me?” Said Fancy.

“Coming back to the report. I suffered some damage and Fancy was wise enough to bring Medic the Healing Slime with her.” IQ looked worried.

“Are you okay, bro?! What happened?!” he yelled as Death looked at him.

“A miracle happened.” He said as he got up on his 2 feet as every member except Fancy and Cards jaws dropped and many minds were broken. Even Dark Speed showed emotions.

“Dark… I can’t believe what I’m seeing.” He said which made him stop talking in a 3rd person.

“You… You can… You can walk AGAIN!!!” Screamed IQ as Death did a quick tap-dance.

“That’s right but…”

“But?” Said everyone

“I’ll stay in a wheelchair until I want to show everyone or a few months. Just not to alarm modern doctors about my miracle.” Said Death as they all nodded since it would gather attention.

“Okay!” Said Game Life. “Now that we’re done with a team trust adventure, I say we start farming!” he said happily as Cute looked confused.

“What does planting crops do in the Game Players?” She asked as IQ rolled his eyes as Dark Speed groaned in annoyance.

“We should have made them play 500 Game Hours.” Said Dark Speed.

Random Dungeon Battles Later
Sharp, Death & Cards were sliding on a giant King of Clubs card down a hill as they blasted a stampede of Cobra/mole hybrids.

Game Life & Exo was fighting against killer Gummy Dinosaurs because Exo decided to eat their young.

Fancy and Cute were fleeing from an old porcelain doll with a kitchen knife as Death dropped down with his axe.

The Game Players were coming out of the Dungeon Door, were sweat and wounds that Medic was happy to heal them. “That was one extreme ID conquering.” Said Exo as she dropped on a table.

“It’s the first time that we've done something like that as the entire guild.” Said IQ as he uses his telekinesis to pour himself some water.

“If that’s how you guys do in your guild does it for fun? Imagine all the [Scraps] out there in the Private Spaces.” Said Cards as they all paused as they looked confused.

“[Scraps]? What are [Scarps]?” Said Game as Cards & Strong looked horrified.

“You haven’t been [Cleaning]!? Are you… Oh yeah, forgot you members are just novices… great novices.” Said Cards as Strong cleared her throat.

“The Abyss has some negative effects when Private Spaces are made. The leftovers or [Scarps] are the manifestation of nasty and filthy thoughts and emotions of people. These [Scraps] are a living hazard to be left alone. [Scraps] would make people feel a little uncomfortable with something or someone for a common reason. But when those [Scraps] evolve, they have the powers to kill humans from a Private Space.” Explained Strong as the Gamers looked horrified.

“What… the… #%$*?!” Said Dark Speed.

“Yeah… for them [Scraps] to evolve, they just find other [Scarps], kill them and eat them. Like a Poison Jar.” Said Cards. “Poisonous creatures in a jar, killing and eating each other to create the deadliest poison inside of them.” She said as she looked at them as they looked at each.

“I don’t think we can do it alone.” Said Game Life as IQ smirked.

“I agree. I’ll loan some of my Golems to help out with everyone’s monsters.” He said as they all created a mission for the monsters as Fancy cleared her throat.

“We should also arm our monster with the weapons, armor and new spells.” She said as they opened their Monster Farms.

20 Minutes Later
The Game Players were on top of the 8-Bit Café as they witnessed large black blobs with many jaws of sharp teeth. Two of the blobs were attacking each other as one consumed the other. “Okay that is disgusting, even for me.” Said Exo.

“Dark Speed normal is fine with the strong defeating the weak but this is… unnatural.” He said as IQ was using a laptop to scan them.

“I need some more data to lock them. A sample or perhaps-“

“EXO SMASH!!!” Screamed Tough as she punched the [Scrap] from the air as the remains dissolved into sludge as it began to evaporate, leaving a round black stone. Exo grabbed it, jumped back up to the café and handed it to IQ. “I was to tame it but apparently, [Scraps] are impossible to Tame.” She said as IQ looked at it.

“There goes a test subject.” He said mumbling “Now what’s this stone?”

[Impure Overmined Stone]
A crystallized form of impure thoughts.

“I heard Alchemists use them to create some Dark Matter.” Said Cards. “Dangerous stuff and I heard it was the inspiration for that creatable weapons and armor from that game… uh… what was it called again? Golden Sun.” She said.

“At least someone in the Abyss has good taste.” Said Game Life as some nodded.

“Now, by locking on this stone with the map as a dowsing search. We’ll see how many of those… oh shit.” He said as they saw a hundred of those monsters.

“God damn it.” Said everyone.

“Release the monsters.” Said Exo as their MF portals appeared as all the monsters of the Game Players and Golems of IQ looked at their masters.

“Now, listen up Everyone! Hunt these monsters down before they look… uglier.” Said Game Life. “When you can’t keep on fighting, you’ll return to the MFs. Good luck and stay in groups to prevent being killed by Abyss Hunters.” All the creatures roared as the QB of Exo flipped her off as her children aided their queen.

“!@$%ing bitch. Game Life I need a lot of pollen. From flowers, not drugs.” Said Exo as Game looked at Seedling’s doubles who were protecting the cafe. “Can you help grow some flowers?” They nodded as they look at Exo

“Just promise us a river and freshwater.” Said the Seedlings.

“Deal.” Said Exo as they all left the ID to head for home. Game and Fancy kissed each other goodbye alone with Large & Cute and Death & Cards as Dark Speed escaped from Strong.

“Dark Speed has to search for male members.”
