The Plains In Super

"What? Are you sure?" Fily's eyes widened upon hearing Petunia's concern.

"I'm not sure, but there's three very long tunnels like this one and I don't know where they lead to. It might even be a dead-end which if we destroy this tunnel now, we might not have any way out of here."

"Wait. I think I should look for the blueprint of this new tunnel system first." Fily said and shifted her attention from the light disruption pattern.

"Okay," Petunia said and went back to her post, "But how will you do that?" she said while looking at Fily again.

"Just… trust me," Fily said and shut her eyes tightly.

===

'Okay, Mind Palace!' Fily thought to herself before opening her eyes and finding herself in the sea of her thoughts which was currently filled with the light disruption pattern..

"Scatter," Fily said in her mind and swayed her hands which made everything about the light disruption pattern disappear from floating around her mind, leaving her with an empty table inside her mind library.

"Okay, now let's hack," Fily said and sat on her favorite gaming chair from the 21st century.

Suddenly, the library in Fily's Mind Palace immediately shifted into a computer headquarters, with codes and numbers floating around her as if she was in space.

"15 spice victims, let's see what you've got," Fily said and fifteen monitors appeared in front of her, each with their own different footage of what the fifteen people she sprayed with spice and super puff earlier could currently see with their own eyes like her own personal surveillance cameras.

"Von and Lei?" Fily whispered when she saw the two boys locked inside a glowing cave.

"What's up with that?" she complained after seeing almost nothing because of the flashy electric bars and the very poor vision of this Crone.

Since the Crones could only see with blurred vision, it was really hard for Fily to monitor everything that they were doing on their own and the paths they were taking so she decided to take her hacking skills to the next level.

"Mind hack," Fily said while manipulating the keyboard in front of her for codes and specific things that she was looking for.

"Okay, route," Fily muttered when she finally found the information that she was looking for.

A blue holographic file appeared in front of Fily coming from the monitor screen of the Crone whom she thought had the most knowledge when it comes to the routes they were taking, but before she could grab it, Fily's mind palace suddenly glitched and the file disappeared in front of her.

"Fily!!" Petunia's voice echoed in her space dome. "Someone's coming."

===

"I was almost done-" Fily said and opened her eyes reluctantly.

"Shh!" Petunia covered Fily's mouth using her furry tail which irritated Fily even more.

"Ew!" she mouthed at Petunia aggressively while pushing Petunia's tail away from her mouth and closer to the door which Petunia immediately glued her ears to again.

"Not that way, stupid!" a crone said while seemingly grabbing the other crone away from where Petunia and Fily were currently at.

"Okay, I think they're gone. You can sleep again." Petunia said while shrugging her little cat shoulders cutely.

"Why did you even bother waking me up," Fily said while shaking her head to Petunia out of disappointment before closing her eyes.

===

"Back, repeat," Fily commanded to her mind which immediately followed through her commands.

"Naughty little girl, you think I'll let you hack through my system? Dream on, sucker!" A warning message suddenly appeared in Fily's commands.

"What the heck?! Kuya! I knew it! It was your doing all along! Why are you sabotaging my work?!!" Fily stomped her feet and exploded in anger.

She already had a hunch of whoever was responsible for the light disruption idea and since the pattern was very familiar, Fily knew her brother might be the one responsible for helping the Crones all along, but why? Why would he do that?

"I am going to tell mom!" Fily said and started calling Riveth using her enhanced Stat-hut which Fily's brother only responded with a :p emoticon.

[Fily: Mom!! Have you any idea what Kuya's been doing right now?! He's sabotaging my work!!!]

[Riveth: That's not my problem, child.]

[Fily: What?! But he's putting the Queen in danger! You've got to help, mom!]

[Riveth: I thought I'm not your mom anymore.]

[Fily: Seriously?]

"Grrr!! Out of all the people out there?! What the heck is he doing?! Is he that jealous of me getting the job as the Princess' sage or what?!" Fily shouted out of anger.

"No, no, and no. You already know why I did what I did but since you're dumb, I'm guessing it'll take you at least a few more days before acknowledging it. But still, welcome in advance! From your great big brother. Good luck stupid!" another message popped out of her computer screen as if her brother could hear what she was saying.

"Good luck your ass! You can't even speak proper English! Grr!" Fily stomped her feet again. "Now what do I do?"

When Fily slouched on her gaming chair, she could hear Petunia's voice disturbing her mind system again.

"Can you hurry? I could hear several footsteps heading this way." Petunia said which made Fily's blood boil even more.

"You're really asking for this, huh?" Fily whispered to herself as she remembered the fact that she's actually more efficient than her brother in terms of cracking codes.

"I will prove to you once again that I am the best! Let's see how long you and your system can keep up with me." She said and prepared herself for an intensive battle against her brother's system.

"Oh? Finally! A worthy opponent." Fily's brother suddenly sent a message again.

"W-What? You can actually hear me?"

"Hoho! You didn't even notice?! I didn't expect you to be this weak since the last time I challenged you!"

"I am not weak!" Fily typed to her brother now while checking for bugs on her system, and when she saw the message that she sent, she immediately followed it up with a much calmer response.

"Do you want to get humiliated again? Second?" she sent, calling him with the nickname that he hated the most.

"Trying to tilt me, eh?" he responded with laughing emojis. "That's not gonna work anymore."

"Oh yes, it will. Just wait and see." Fily sent and trashed the bug that her brother secretly planted in her dress using the Crones.
