It was 10 am and Rai was just now waking up. He was up late last night getting in some practice before bed. He was practicing his freestyle dance moves cause he had little time these days to work on it. About 8 year's back he almost became the country champion at such a young age. Unfortunately, that's all of that story he'd like to remember. Not too long after he crawled out of bed, Dante came storming in. "You awake yet shrimp!? No? GOOD! Hurry you arse downstairs now! We got a job to do!" He said slamming the door shut behind him. Dante was Rai's pet honey badger, just don't tell that to Dante's face. Was then Rai remembered he was still short for this month's payment. That's probably what Dante was yelling about. After getting dressed he headed downstairs and met up with Dante at the job board. "Bout time! Hurry up and decide where we're goin." He was clearly in a good mood this morning. "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Rai said grabbing a job off the board. "Shut it." he replied.
The job Rai took from the job board was about some town called Toylaten. Apparently, they have stopped all forms of communication from the outside world. People have gone to investigate and haven't been seen again. It took them some time to get to this town due to no trains heading out that way. A train conductor said every train that went that way never came back. The hell was going on with this town? They ended up hitching a ride from a cab but even the cab driver refused to get within 2 miles of the place and they had to walk the rest of the way.
It was nearly 5 pm now, and they finally made it to Toylaten. What they saw was a bit to take in. The entire town looked like it was turned into a toy model of what it use to look like. The stranger thing was, there was nobody in sight. Rai and Dante walked through the toy town for what seemed like about 20 minutes before finally seeing something out of place... Well more out of place. There was a toy lying down on the ground. It was a toy Pirate, Rai looked around to see if anyone could have dropped it but saw nothing. "You get the feeling we're being watched?" Dante suddenly asked. "Yes, since before we walked into town."
"You haven't sensed anything with that static vision of yours?" Dante asked. "No." Rai replied. They continued walking for a couple more blocks before Dante said he heard something up ahead. What they found were more toys. However, these toys were walking and talking! Rai couldn't make out what they were saying due to them not technically have any lips to read. He didn't even know they were talking until Dante mentioned it. "What the hell is going on here?" Dante asked. Was then all the toy's started to notice them one by one. They started to charge towards them yelling to leave. "You must leave now! Get out while you still can! Bring the Rune Knights!" Rai still couldn't hear what they were saying with his music playing on his headset and he was unable to read their lips. Dante was suggesting we get the heck out of here but then suddenly a figure appeared behind them.
It was a little kid no older than 6 years old. "Hi! I'm Chip! Let's play!" Rai was caught off guard by a 6-year-old even with his enhanced senses. Suddenly the boy's amulet began to glow and he touched both Rai and Dante at the same time. Immediately the two were turned into 1-foot tall toy versions of themselves! By the time the initial shock was over, the kid already took off somewhere. "What the hell just happened! I'M PLASTIC!?!?!?! I'LL KILL THAT BRAT!!!!!!" Dante screamed. Rai wasn't in a much better condition. He was now 1 foot tall, made of plastic, and his headphones stopped playing music. Both of them were pissed at this point. "Agreed." Rai stated after Dante.
