Galleria Food Court

The main food court was the hub of the Galleria from which the other segments branched out. All manner of cuisines were represented from mall staples such as pizza and questionable Chinese to more exotic fares such as Indian and chibi cuisine. And of course, standing in the center stood the jewel of the mall, the double-decked carousel!

Curiously, the smell of food lingered in the air. Was someone still cooking?

The shadow makes their way to the food court proper. No sign of the elusive quarry yet, although the aroma of Teriyaki chicken and pretzels suggested that someone had set up shop in this vicinity.

Chibi Tunnels

The light illuminates the long stretch of tunnels leading further on. These passageways had been built by the Chibiwanbanshu long ago when the galleria was built. The secret society of diminutive ninja had a habit of building secret passageways into important buildings; there was no telling where else they would pop up. Perhaps even Dact had encountered such places before? Was it possible that the Chibiwanbanshu had somehow compromised the Heroes Association?

On occasion the Knight would see markings along various wall panels. The markings looked Chibish, the old tongue still spoken in the chibi marketplace, only it looked like someone had drawn them with crayons.

Dact checks every fork in the path. Anything that had been dragging a woman had to have left a mark behind. Hopefully the trail was still fresh enough to follow.

The shadow's hunt for food-ah-search for suspicious activity may eventually lead it to the entrance to Red Sector.... Wait, what is this? A huge paper sign hangs over the entrance.

Dact's thorough search uncovers a loose tile on the wall! Chibish graffiti covers the loose door and underneath that.... is either an image of a bikini or a set of lingerie. What could it possibly mean?

Dact hrms... he... has no idea, really. But goes to head into the secret door! Reasoning that if it was hidden, it had to be the right way to go! Right...? He tugs open the door... shining his light in as he makes his way down... spear held defensively as he creeps along.

Dact finds himself in the middle of a bikini store! All around him are busty mannequins that seem to stare at the chevalier with their blank, vapid eyes. Should he choose to venture through the forest of women's swimwear he might hear a light.... hissing noise.... coming from some of the suits.

Up ahead, at the store entrance, Dact hears heavy footsteps as well as the telltale glare of a flashlight.

Dact frowns... and reaches for his belt pouch. Getting out a can of spray starch. He creeps forwards... turning off his flashlight to not give himself away. As he tries to see who's near the front...

From his vantage point Dact espies a police officer carefully treading his way through the corridor. He looks rather skittish.

"You!" he shouts, pulling out his gun. "I see you there! Come out where I can see you. No sudden movements now!"

Dact slowly goes to stand up. "Officer...? What are you doing here?"

Standing up, Dact sees that the officer is not addressing the knight. Instead he is facing.... a small, child-sized figure in a pink hoodie.

"Oi! Back away now! I don't want to shoot you...." he says. Without taking his eyes off the girl he pulls out a walkie-talkie.

Dact blinks... this is the thing...? He readies his weapon again... from what the old chibi said, it was extremely dangerous...

The sound of Dact drawing his spear distracts Officer Lopez, temporarily distracting him from the girl. The child takes this moment to pounce, grabbing the cop by his leg.

Before Dact's eyes he watches as the officer begins to shrink down at a rapid pace, his features growing younger.... softer.... more feminine. The girl strokes the frightened young girl's face, a girl blinking around quite confused.... looking so adorable in her blue sundress...

It is then, of course, that the pair notice the knight.

Dact blinks... staring. "Oh... hell." He hadn't seen any red... and the old Chibi's words suddenly line up in his mind. He rushes back inside the trapdoor... taking an immovable rod and spiking the door shut behind him as he dashes back the way he came. He needs to lose them... and go the one place he knew they wouldn't be.

As Dact flees from the terror behind him, he would hear the sound of voices behind him.

".....Lets get you to the nursery Lola~!"

And now he's back in the Chibi Tunnels... A perfect place for an ambush from... THEM!
