Chapter 111 League Of Loser

Katie walked down to the bottom of the stairs with me but stopped at the bottom. She pulled on my arm into a kiss, and I placed my other hand on her cheek as our lips pressed together.

"I will stay here and try out the third level. I had a small taste of this place, and now I want some more!" Katie said with a smile, and I kissed her again.

"Sure, I will see Anya after I find a pool to soak in. I could probably make one anywhere, but I feel homesick. I should go and check to see how Chelsea is doing with Kitsune and see if I can even get into my room," I laughed, and Katie gave me a strange look.

"Why won't you be able to get into your room?" Katie asked as she pulled away from me.

"Because Amy has been going hog wild with her Seamstress abilities. My room is filled with mannequins covered in layers of dresses right now," I said with a sigh, getting a mental image from the trees.

"Really? I will have to stop by to get her to make me some cute clothing! I forgot that she could do that!" Katie laughed as she turned to start walking up a set of stairs that formed under her feet.

I watched her walk up to the third level and then enter the first door before I turned and left. The Challenger Dome turned out much better than I had thought it would, but this was the culmination of more than just one person's efforts.

I reached up towards a tree, and roots exploded from my hand, shooting up to latch high up. I sucked the root back in, ripping my off the ground, and then stuck my other hand out to another tree.

More roots burst forward to grab the next tree, and I started to swing through the forest like spiderman. I had always wondered what Peter Parker actually felt like when he was swinging through the air, but this was amazing.

It was like jumping from one rope swing to the next; the motion of the swing down, then pull going up again, and the weightless. I started to spin and flip from each swing, shouting out in joy each time.

I must have looked ridiculous, but I hardly cared with the amount of fun that I was having. What was the point of having all this power and not using it the way I wanted to?

I neared my tree and got between it and another, shooting roots up high on each, letting myself drop down. Once I sunk down, I launched myself straight up, and wings burst from my back as I launched up in the air.

I rocket most of the way up my Great Tree, weaving around a walkway, and then flew the rest of the way. When I got up to the top, I was surprised to see Chelsea and Amy both in the water, with Kitsune lying on the edge of the pool.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"Dan! You are home early!" Amy called to me as I landed on the far side of the pool, retracting my wings and clothes.

"Yeah, I was trying out the new Challenger Dome I created with Katie. I ended up getting my ass whooped fast, so I decided to give it up for today. I wanted to come and see how you are both doing," I said as I sunk into the pool.

"I, umm, have, umm…." Amy stuttered, looking away from me, and I laughed.

"Oh, don't worry, I know you have been filling our room to bursting with faceless clones. I had thought that they were just regular mannequins, but now I can sense that you are using clones," I chuckled, and Amy looked at me with a worried look.

"Is that okay? They are really much different from mannequins, right? Sofia said it would be fine, and then I could see how the girls would move, and I could make their clothes fit better! You should see some of the stuff that I have made!"

"Yes, that is a pretty good idea for using them; we can also use them to test the clothing out," I said and then turned to Chelsea, who had remained silent. "I have some ideas for a game arena. I have one being built right now."

"Really?! This fast?!" Chelsea exclaimed, and I nodded.

"Yup, there will only be two game types so far, but I think that we can tweak each to have quite a few different game modes. The setup for the place is a bit strange, but I thought this would be the best way so we could have tons of things going," I explained, wading over to where Chelsea was sitting in the water.

I placed my hand over the edge of the dry wood and lifted it up, creating a mini version of what was being created at the moment. Chelsea's eyes lit up when she saw the massive arena in the center that was surrounded by seating that ran up over four stories in the air.

"Woah! This is crazy! There are seats like a mountain running all the way around! What is on the inside ring?! The outside is pretty obvious, I am pretty sure that I see NukeTown down there, but the center is strange… wait! No way! How are you going to pull off League of Losers?!" Chelsea exclaimed, and I laughed.

"Don't call it that! I love the game but am horrible at it! This is something that I had always wanted to do with VR, and after talking about it with you, it stuck in my head, but you are right. How do we get the players to make the special moves? A good number of the characters' moves can be mimicked with the powers I can put into the clones. Still, the more magical abilities like Ahri, Zoe, Soraka, and Zoe's powers aren't something that can just be copied," I explained, and Chelsea nodded along.
