The Death Game of Netherland

Upside or Down - The Downside World

Have you heard of Stranger Things?

The portal that was called Upside Down? Is that what you think when you read the title of thig chapter? Stranger Things, upside down? Well as all of you know, the upside down is the alternative world of hawkins, the alternative world of our world. But do you really believe in such thing as the Upside Down? A world that was just like our world, a world that was from the outside of the other side of our world? IS those such things really exist? Or in just a movie?

Do you believe on that?

Because I do.

Why? Why do I believe on that such things?

It is because, those things cannot be made without a proof, without someone knew the knowledge about it. How could you know that the Dinosaurs exist if no one knew about it. How could you know how many planets are in the outer space without counting it? without a person saw the evidence?

The brain of the people is to small to think about those such things, to imagine that it was really existing. Specially in the old days. The thing is, how could they made a fire without experimenting? It means, how could they saw the other side without experimenting, how could they make a story about such portal things if no one saw it? If there was no evidence, how could they know about those things, without seeing it.

That is why I believe on such many things, but we all have different opiunions, differeent minds to believe.

Asuka and Akai is two different people, they have their own answers, they have their own opinions, they have their own beliefs. But are they both of them will believe on a one thing? On a same thing? Are they going to be on the same side of their own predictions? I am just saying that, whatever, however different to each other, we can't avoid the fact that we can be all on the same side even we have our own beliefs, we have our own predictions, we will end up in the sam thing, we will end up in the same side, no matter how different are minds are, how different our brain and knowledge are, we can't avoid that we can be on the same side with diffeerent mindset.

When we say Earth.

Earth is just a planet where humans lives, where human like us. But what if, there is another world like Earth and we just don't know about it because we didn't explore it yet, or maybe the scientist had, but didnt spread the information about it. And can you imagine is, what if Earth is just a theory in there world? They don't know if that Earth, if that world really exist. Like, an upside down. Earth is up and the other world is down, or maybe the opposite.

It's opposite to each other, that is why it was called upside down.

And one day it will changed everything when something happens really unexpected. The people who died got reincarnated in other world, a second chance. A chance to know the world better, to see that everything isn't impossible, to live in your alternate world, to see what's the difference in your origin world, the difference between the two.

But what if there was a way to go back? But to do it, you have to fight, to survive. Because when time comes, you'll always end up not being belong there. Why?

Because it's not your world.

You can't mess up the time. You cant change the timeline. You cant compare your world to the other, because if you do.

You are a toxic s**t.

But, what will happen if there is no way to go back. You got reincarnated, a second chance to live, and that chance can't let you go back.

What will you do? Accept it?

"HELP!" A girl with a brunette hair shouted. A light mist was surrounding was her, not letting her go. "SHERYL!!" The man said, he was forcing him self to see in the middle of the smoke, where he is forcing his eyes to open. " HELP!" The girl shouted again. "Sheryl! I am coming!" He shouted again. He is struggling to walk because of the smoke with an air within it, an air that making him hard to walk towards the girl named Sheryl. A thunder echoed all over the place that makes him cover his ears and sat on the ground. The thunder didn't stop echoing and a lighting was seen from the blue dark sky. The blue sky is turning dark because of the smoke and the mist that is holding together. The wind starts to fade, with the smoke, and when he saw Sheryl looking uo, he then called him again her name. He look around and he starts running towards the girl, but its too late, a thunder was heard all over the place again and a lighting strike near her, or the lighting strike her, she was crush by a thunder light that is connecting the two worlds, connecting or the one who activating the gate between the two worlds. "SHERYL!!" The man shouted and he kneel down like he was so hopeless.

He witnessed how his lover got crushed by a lighting, he witnessed how the lighting strike her, how her blood splash everywhere, how she died, how her body dropped on the floor, her lifeless body drop on the floor "Its all my fault!! I should never trust her!! I should never open the door!! I should never collect the gems!!" the man whispers. He look up when a blue thunder light is hitting the ground, where he was kneeling down. He slowly stood up and he face the angry storm with his confident posture. "They will come. And when it happened, everyone will know that were not a desperate people who wanted to prove that this place really exist. Because it really exist, they just have to show to everyone so they will believe us." The man said. HE gulp and he raise his middle finger on the air. " We are alive! We are not f*cking missing, you ppoiece of s**t!" He added.

He put his hand down and he get something in his pocket, and when he does, he slowly raise his hand to show the last remaining gem. The gem that is color violet, it was shining like a star at night. The gem is so sharp at the edge, but so round at the head.

"Goodbye." He said before he stab his own heart using the last gem that they got, that he got, to be in here. "They shall return." His last word before throwing the gem into the light.

Where he was facing.

Before his lifeless body drop on the ground. Blood is waving on the ground, his hand is full of blood from his heart. He cough and blood went out to his mouth. He slowly breath his last breath, before he died.

A girl walk towards him, she came from inside the light, where he throw the last remaining gem. Her face can not be seen, because it was covered by a dark sticky liquid, she was wet, her whole body was wet, and her whole body was covered in a black sticky liquid, like she fall to it.

She slowly sat in front of the boy. Her tears went out, but she can't feel it, because the black liquid is with her tears.

"I am sorry Casper, it's all my fault, but I only did it, because of you..." She said and she touches the boy's body. A vine starts to cover his whole body. His body starts to shake, the vines starts to go inside of him. His body is continue shaking, until he levitated.

"That's what happened to me, the reason why I lived." The girl said. And as far as she finished her sentenced, the boy's eye open, and he gasps for air.

"AAAHHH!!!" Asuka shouted and she open her eyes as fast as she can. Her heart starts racing, her sweat is starting to ate her forehead. She didnt know what happened, but she remember the last thing she saw, she saw the building collapsed while the actors of her favorite movie is acting on the stage. She heard people scream, as the rock from the building is falling. She remember a wood hit her back, as her head hit the ground. They we're all lying down on the floor before she felt something fell on her head.

That is what she remembers before she passed out, the last thing she can remember, but the rest was erased. She scream when she woke up, because she can still feel the pain through all of her body. Like it happened, seconds ago. She scream because of her pain, pain that she can't un feel.

She calm her self down and then she look around, every single quadrangle of where she was and she noticed that she was inside of a room. A room that she isn't familiar with. She touches her head when she felt dizzy. She look on the door when it opened and someone went inside, a girl with a brunete hair with brown shades on the side went inside holding a bed table with foods on it. "Ms. Kagawad. What are you doing? You're still not fine." She said. Asuka look to her with her confusing emotion face. "who are you?" Asuka asks in confusion, looking fiercely on the girl's face, trying to remember if she'd knew her or not, but the answer she got is that she didn't knew this girl who went inside her room. "Where I am?" Asuka added and she staring at the girl and look around again for the second time. "Where is Shin?" She panicked as she realize when she remember about her bestfriend, Shin. "Shin? Isn't she your enemy? And I am Carla, your caretaker. The doctor said that because of the earthquake, it'll damage your brain. So no wonder that you don't remember anything, even me, or Shin." Her caretaker said, Carla.

'WHAT?!!'

She said inside her head. She doesn't know what the girl is talking about, or what is happening. But she barely remember any thing. She went in The Netherland movie celebration with her bestfriend Shin and an earthquake happened, and strike the place where they was, where it destroyed the whole building. She didn't forget some of the events that had happened there, but maybe she does, she just expecting that she remembers everything, because her brain was damaged, how could she know if she forget something, right?

"Shin? Where is she? And Kyle? Where are they? I-I have to see them! They're with me, and they have to be with me!" She shouted. She felt her throat got dried so she gulp to water her throat nor her mouth. " where am I to be honest?!" Asuka said while pannicking and she stood up but she didn't realize that her foot was blinded by a cloth.

In short, she cant walk.

Carla, her caretaker is so confused on what is happening to Asuka. But when Asuka fell on the floor, she then put the bed table down and help her.

"Ms. Kagawad I told you not to stand! You're still recovering to the accident. I'll just call Kyle, so he'll calm you." Carla said, their caretaker while she's helping Asuka to stand up. "What? Why Kyle? I don't even know him that much, I need Shin!" Asuka said. She look to the second girl who went inside the room. "Mom?" Asuka called her mom. "Mrs. Kagawad. Asuka's brain got really damaged." The caretaker said. "its fine Carla. I can take it from here." Her mom said. Her caretaker stood up and she nodded. She went outside and her mom went inside. She kneel down to face Asuka. "What happ-" Asuka did'nt finished her sentence when her mother slap her.

Asuka was shock on what just happened, on what her mother did to her. She can't believe that her mother slap her, she never did that to her, she never acted like this before. How could she??

Her mother wpuld never do that to her.

EVER.

She never hurt Asuka, and she will never hurt her, as she says and promised after they both find out that her father was missing, she will never forget those lines of her mother in her head, it'll be there...

Forever.

Asuka can't explain what is happening to her, but if she could, she wont get it, because she can't understand her surrounding, how everything looks like changed.

"What did I told you? I told you not to go to that stupid celebration of yours. Your father warned you about that, that there will be an earthquake that's going to strike the first and fifth Island last Saturday! But what did you do? You didn't listen! You always listen to that Kyle bastard boyfriend of yours who always got you in trouble. How many times should I tell you to dump him? Huh? You're just ruining your own life, your own reputatuion! If you wanted to he a successful actress, then clean your image first, dump that stupid boyfriend of yours!" Her mother said. "ha- huh?" The only thing Asuka said because she is confuse on what her mother is saying. Everything is just processing inside her head. "You never learned Asuka. You never learned..." Her mother whisper her words to her ears. "You always disobey us. I hope that earthquake will changed you, and you will wake up to the reality you were living, to the world you are living, where you belong. I wish you will learn, because I am tired of you, I wish that earthquake teach you a lesson." Before she went outside her room.

Asuka start crying because her mother slap her, or hurt her. She never cry before because of her mother, in fact, everytime she cries, her mother is always with her side,her mother is the pillow to her problems.

She isn't dramatic, but she is a sensitive girl, she isn't used to what's happening around her right now. That's why she cried.

But she still didn't get what her mother says. She forced her self to stand so she could get back to bed. While she was helping herself to stand, she saw a man figure at the end of the hallway, a shadow to the end of the hallway. "Dad?" she whispered as she remembers that the man figured she saw, look just like her father who was missing for 7 years, well, now dead.

She start walking down the hallway to see who is the man that she saw, she is curious, there's no men in her life specially inside her house. The only man in her life is his dad, and now... Kyle. She use the wall to help her self stand, by touching it. In the last hallway, there is a room that the door is open. She slowly walk inside to see what is inside. She look around, explore her self by using her eyes and the room is just full of televisions and antennas everywhere. She walk towards a computer where the system is rebooting. She look up and found the planet Earth on the screen. She then look down on the desk where she saw the papers on there. Because of her curiosity, she get one of the papers and read it in her mind.

"Earth is an alternative world of Netherland. TRUE or FALSE? There are no proof that Earth exist, except for the theories of the old man who passed the message billion years ago. And a gem that Akai's mother found before she went missing 7 years ago."

The letter that was written on a yellow pad inside the folder she get.

"Asuka! I told you not to go here! Cant you understand anything? Can't you understand our family rules?!" A man said from her behind. The voice is so familiar, a voice that she knows that is no longer exist but will be remembered always and forever in her heart. She slowly look behind to see her missing father standing in front of her. Asuka's tears start going down on her cheeks. "dad?" she said before she run towards the man and hug him tight. The father was shock, he didn't know what happened, and why his daughter is hugging him.

Because as far as he knows, she never cared about him, she never hug him.

"she will always remember." The man said before she collapses on the ground and struck by a lighting to get everything back to normal.

It is the same event, before Sheryl and Casper got separated to each other after a huge energy makes a mist that makes them unhold each other's hands.
