Chapter 111: The Search for the Drunken Divine Beings

Chapter 111: The Search for the Drunken Divine Beings

Four hours have now passed since the heroes split into groups.

Joe, Emily, Zaydra, and Kurt are at the meeting point, but Zeth and Sasha are not.

“Where are Zeth and Sasha?” Emily asks, looking at Kurt and Zaydra. “Have you seen them?”

“No,” Kurt replies.

“They either got lost or lost track of time,” Zaydra says, a bit frustrated. “Now we have to go and find them.”

With no use standing around, they start walking through the city, heading in the direction that Zeth and Sasha originally headed. It’s not long before they see that there is a commotion at the Hirro City Bar.

“What’s going on here?” Joe asks, taking note of the bar’s shattered windows.

They walk up to a random male demon.

“What is going on here?” Kurt asks.

“Some soldiers charged into the bar, and then a big fight between them and a ton of drunken people broke out,” the demon replies. “It was wild to witness from the outside.”

“We’re going in,” Zaydra says firmly.

The others nod, following her to the bar entrance, where they step inside.

***

They look around to see that the bar is a mess, tables turned over, shattered glass on the floor, chairs broken in pieces, and there are drunk people everywhere.

“My first thought about this place is that it looks like a total disaster zone,” Emily says.

“I’d expect nothing less from a place full of drunken people,” Kurt replies.

“Perhaps Zeth and Sasha took part in the battle,” Zaydra says. “I can’t see regular drunken people being able to take out trained soldiers.”

“I think a ‘battle’ was an understatement,” Joe says. “This place is a wreck.”

“Let’s ask some people and see if Zeth and Sasha were here,” Emily suggests.

As they walk to find someone to talk to, Zaydra looks at the dead soldiers suspiciously. They start talking to a dancing drunk demon, who is next to a dead masked soldier on the floor.

“Why did these soldiers charge into this bar?” Kurt asks.

“They were lu lu looking ffffor Kkkkkkeith,” the drunk demon replies.

“And Keith was here?” Zaydra asks.

“Yes,” the drunken demon replies. “He, along with a gu gu guy with black hair, wearing a hu hu headband, and a girl with black hair, wearing a leatherrrrrrrr ju ju jacket led us in our sacred battle against those da da damn soldiers.”

The heroes are shocked as they recognize the descriptions of Zeth and Sasha. Zaydra grabs the demon’s shoulders, gritting her teeth in anger.

“Where did they go!!!?” Zaydra demands.

“They were sooo -hiccup- da da damn du du drunk,” the drunk demon replies. “In their wasted st st states, the three of them left like bu bu best buds, but I don’t know where they wennnnnnt.”

Zaydra releases the demon but verbally vents her frustration.

“Damn it!!” Zaydra shouts.

Zaydra bends down to take off the face-covering helmet of the dead soldier. The soldier has the head of a spider. The heroes, except Zaydra, are shocked.

“I see,” Zaydra says. “A spider demon. This is likely one of the sides of the power struggle. All of these soldiers are likely spider demons. We have to find Zeth and Sasha fast!”

She gets up and starts walking toward the bar entrance with Emily, Joe, and Kurt quickly following behind her, heading out of the bar.

“How are we going to find them?” Emily asks with worry.

“Simple,” Zaydra replies. “We go to where this Keith lives.”

“And how do we find that?” Joe asks. “Do you personally know him or where he lives?”

“…No… We’re going to have to ask around.”

***

The heroes asked around and found out where Keith lives. A bit later, they show up at where he lives.

The heroes are standing in front of a one-story building.

“So, Keith lives here?” Emily asks.

“Yes,” Zaydra replies. “Based on the information I received. That said, you should still keep your guard up.”

They enter the building and carefully walk through it until they reach a living room area and see Zeth, Sasha, and Keith. They all look dressed as if they are a part of a biker gang, though Zeth is still wearing his headband. They are drinking more alcohol.

“What the hell!?” Zaydra shouts. “What are you two doing!!?”

Zeth holds up a bottle of beer, smiling with a dumb drunken grin.

“Hey si si sis, and Ku Ku Kurt, Em Em Emily, and Ju Ju Joe,” Zeth drunkenly says. “Why not join us for a di di drink?”

The four non-drunk heroes all facepalm.

“May I remind you we are not here to party and drink!” Zaydra yells.

“This fu fu fine fellow offered us a drink, and we di di did drink while he told us his stu stu story,” Zeth drunkenly replies.

Sasha raises her hands, holding a bottle. “Funnnnnnn!”

Zaydra looks at Keith. “And you! You’re going to explain everything when you are not drunk as hell!”

“Shu shu sure,” Keith replies with a stupid grin.

“Looks like we will be staying here overnight,” Zaydra says before looking at the three drunks. “None of you will be leaving or drinking!”

Zeth, Sasha, and Keith nod in disappointment.

***

The next day. It is now the heroes’ Day 2 in the Swamp Underworld.

“What the hell!!!!!!?” Zaydra screams. “How are you three still drunk!!!!!?”

“We dra dra drank gooooood shit,” Keith replies. “You can be wa wa wasted for du du days.”

“No friggin way,” Zaydra says, facepalming as she vents.

“Drunk is looooove, drunk is liiiiiiiife,” Keith replies, smiling with a dumb grin.

“Yeahhhhh!!” Zeth and Sasha shout just before hiccupping.

Zaydra turns her focus to the other three heroes. “Kurt, Emily, and Joe. You three supervise these clowns. I’m going out to figure out everything.”

They nod.

With Zeth and Sasha still wasted, things are not going the way that was planned.
