Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: SHAMBLES !!

ARCH: What's that.. hmmm... I can't see it properly, but I can feel it.. now that's confusing.... I can't see it, but I'm kinda aware of its presence.... hmmmm. To perform teleportation, I need two or more objects for it to work, right?. Then I'll chant some badass incantation and booom, wow magic.. Did I get it all right? Okayyyy... let's do some magic, shall we ..... ahemm. ahemmm...

thuddddd (He's imagining that he's in America's Got Talent, surrounded by many audiences and four judges. On the white, oblong-shaped table of the judges, there are five buzzers: four red buzzers and one golden buzzer.)

Huu, I can do thiss...( He enters the stage wearing his magician costume: a black tuxedo paired with black pants, a lavish cape, and the trademark long black hat....) step step step

ARCH: [ Damnnnn, so many humansss ]

Audience 1: Ahh, so cute!

Audience 2: A kid ??

Audience 3: Hey.. Audience 4... where's the popcorn 🍿?

Audience 4: HUH... The fuck.. I don't even know you.!

Audience 5: Hey, settle down... it's about to start..

ARCH: HELLO EVERYONE! (He's speaking through a little microphone on his ear connected to a square-like battery placed on his back waist.)

BALD JUDGE: Welcome..... and what is your name, little boy?

ARCH: My name is Arch Newgate.

BALD JUDGE: What a wonderful name... and what will you be doing for us today?.

ARCH: I will perform real-life TELEPORTATION magic!

BALD JUDGE: WHATTttt!

SQUARED JUDGE: Teleportation! (narrowing his eyes.)

BLONDE JUDGE: WOW...

CURVY JUDGE: Now that's something....

AUDIENCES: Did he just say real-life magic?!

Audience 3: Are y'all deaf...

Audience 4: Chill bro.. here, have some popcorn 🍿 😋.

Audience 3: Ah, thanks man. num num num

BALD JUDGE: A Teleportation magic?

ARCH: Yes, sir.

BALD JUDGE: Ok.... Good luck.. The stage is all yours..

ARCH: Before I continue, I need a volunteer from the audience. Anyone?. (Many people raised their hands ✋️ eager to be a part of a teleportation show).. Now that's the spirit... hmmm. you there, please stand up..

AUDIENCES: Who?

ARCH: You with the Johnny Sins-like face.....( Then he pointed his index finger at the farthest part of the auditorium )..... (Everyone turns their heads back, even the judges, and they see him wearing a Doctor outfit.)

Audience 4: Heyyy.... Audience 3, I think he's pointing at you...

Audience 3: Me ? ( points his finger at himself )... This fuckinggggg brattt..... do I look like Johnny Sins to you..... I'm just fuckingggg bald !!..

AUDIENCES: Actually, you do look like him.!

ARCH: Anyways, please stand up... and stay put...

Audience 3: Ughh... you fucking brat... make sure that this shit is the real deal.... or else I'll show you what Johnny can do....

ARCH: "Johnny can do " gulppp.... Mister, are you perhaps a p-pedo....

Audience 3: Hah... What, do you want a taste?.... (licks his lips)

ARCH: HEYYYY WATCH IT.... JOHNNY COPYCAT, I AIN'T GAY... I'M THE DEFINITION OF MANLINESS ITSELF!!!

Audience 4: Heyyy, someone contact the FBI.. hurry....

Audience 3: What the fuckkkk... can't you see that I'm just teasing him?..

BALD JUDGE: AHEMM....

ARCH: Ohh... sorry, I got distracted..... (he takes off his long black hat and throws it to the floor ) Now y'all see that black hat, right...

AUDIENCES: Yeah (nods their heads)

JUDGES: (nods their heads)

ARCH: THEN WATCH CAREFULLY AND DONT BLINK.... "ROOM" ( the audiences and the judges saw a transparent sphere appearing in Arch's left hand.. the sphere expanded until it covered the whole auditorium.)

ARCH: ARE YOU READY..... THEN COUNT WITH ME 3.2.1.

AUDIENCES: 3.2.1.

JUDGES: 3.2.1

ARCH: ( with his outstretched index, middle, and thumb fingers, while holding his palm inwards. )..... LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT REAL MAGIC IS.... SHAMBLESSSSS... SWooosh

Audience 3: W-whattt i-impossible.. howwww .. how in the world!!!... Shinjirarenaiiiiiii... there must be a trick...

ARCH: ( Arch was amused by their reactions. The whole audience was standing, their mouths were wide open, and it seems like those eyes just saw a ghost. Even the judges, who had doubts earlier, vanished, and unbelief is written on their faces.). gurararara... ( They just couldn't believe it. The Johnny COPYCAT, who was standing in the farthest part of the auditorium, was now standing on the stage.... and the black hat that should be laying on the floor was gone.. As they all turned around, they saw it—the missing long black hat .... it was on Audience 3's chair.!!!)

AUDIENCES: THEY SWAPPED??

ARCH: BINGO..... AND FOR MY FINAL ACT, LET ME RETURN JOHNNY COPYCAT TO HIS PRECIOUS CHAIR..... 3.2....1. ... SHAMBLESSSSS SWOOOSH (No one blinked, and they all saw it clearly .... No questioning needed, no more doubts, because they saw a real..... a real swap teleportation magic!!)

Audience 3: gulppp.... (he didn't utter a single word.... he stood up and began clapping his hands)

( And followed by the whole audience and the judges.... a standing ovation for a spectacular show...)

SQUARED JUDGE: THAT was amazing... and for a kid like you to execute such clean and impossible magic trick.... unbelievable.... really one of my favorite Got Talent editions..... you know what....

(Everyone was silently waiting 'cuz they knew what's gonna happened next.....)

ARCH: Hmmm... is he going to-

SQUARED JUDGE: You deserve this, kiddo (he stood up and reaches for the golden buzzer .... as if time itself slowed down just for some dramatic effect... bammm....) (Zzzzzzzz boommmm golden Confetti 🎊 falling from the ceiling..)

( Arch couldn't believe it ... He actually received a golden buzzer from the famous SQUARED JUDGE himself..... everyone was happy and cheering for him... As Arch enjoys the falling Golden Confetti.... an annoying creaking sound interrupted the celebration.) ( He looks around, checking where the source of that stupid creaking noise is... but all he could see was the audience and the judges.)

ARCH: Hmmm... guys, can't you hear that creaking noise? It's kinda annoying..... (no response came ) huuhhh drop.... what's that ...( A red droplet fell to the black hat he threw on the floor )

ARCH: A red droplet...( curiosity got the better of him.)... he looks up..... then what he saw shook him... the entire ceiling of the auditorium was no longer there. Only pitch-black Void space and a-a.. gulp a bloodshot eye was there. It's gargantuan!!! it literally covered the entire auditorium, and that astronomical eye was coldly staring at him.....

--------Dream End----

ARCH: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... ( suddenly wakes up). Ha..... ha.... ( heavy breaths) ... haahhhhhhh... huuu.... What? What was that? .(instinctively looks around).... what .... sighhhhh..... thank goodness it's just a dream...

AUTHOR: If you're confused on what's happening, don't worry, 'cause I'm also confused....

DIRECTOR: Hayyyssstttt...(shakes his head.) Narrator?. Your time to shine!

NARRATOR: AH. o-ok.... So what happened was: When Arch was about to say Shambles to swap the crystal plate with the unknown object he detected earlier, then thuddddddd... Arch used up too much stamina. This caused him unbearable fatigue and exhaustion, then.... just like that, he collapsed.. a- again.... haha.. deserved!!!... Yeah.. well, well, what would you expect from a 5-year-old body... even Law, at 13 years old, couldn't do much after eating the Ope Ope no Mi....
