Are they keeping us out, or something else in? Heh, maybe I'm letting my imagination run a bit too much."[/color][/quote] "[color=springgreen]Uuuu, I was hoping you'd say it was something normal and explainable.[/color]" Ibon was disheartened to hear that even you had little idea what happened in the freak storm and crash. "[color=springgreen]And don't be so cheerful about all this![/color]" She added a complaint. [quote=Zasada][color=f6989d]"Haaa, you sure you don't want some? Never a better time to start than when imminent death is upon our doorstep.[/color][/quote] "[color=springgreen]I-It's okay. My mom said I wasn't good with alcohol.[/color]" Ibon declined the offer again. "[color=springgreen]And don't pat me on the head. I need to get taller and besides, I'm the one who should be doing the patting since you wouldn't wake up.[/color]" Wait, what? - You jolt awake. Beside you was Ibon who immediately embraced you, sobbing. Moments ago, you were watching Rex, who had Blizzard on his back, marching in front of you. Was that just a dream? If it was, it was so vivid that it felt like a memory. But if it was a dream, when did it start? Looking around, you were still in the path on the Old Woods. There was no one else around save for the Liberi Medic who was still crying with her arms wrapped around you. "[color=springgreen]Zasada! Zasada![/color]" Ibon cried. "[color=springgreen]You-you were just talking to me and you just suddenly... collapsed! Knocked out cold! And-and Rex, he just kept walking and walking. He didn't follow the path anymore and walked straight into the forest![/color]" "[color=springgreen]I-I called out to him and he doesn't respond! I wanted to follow him but I-I couldn't leave you alone![/color]" Ibon explained everything that had happened. Quite the feat considering she was probably scared out of her mind right now. "[color=springgreen]We need to get out of here, Zasada! Come on, before we're attacked again![/color]" Ibon pointed something at the distance, a pillar of black smoke. "[color=springgreen]Look! I bet it's Riventor! We're close! Come on, come on![/color]" The Medic attempted pulling you to your feet and possibly drag you. "[color=springgreen]I don't wanna be in this place anymore! Anywhere but here![/color]" [hr] [center][h3]Old Woods[/h3][/center] [center]~[@Kuroakuma], [@Lunarlord34]~[/center] [quote=Will-O-Wisp][color=f7976a]"Move if you don't want to get hit!"[/color][/quote] Wu acknowledged and jumped back from the huge dog when [u]Will-O-Wisp's[/u] orbs were close enough. The orbs smashed into the predator, the small explosions making it flinch. The Vulpo Operator landed on top of it but the huge dog was not out yet. The huge dog jerked violently and bucked [u]Will-O-Wisp's[/u] off of its back, with Wu coming just in time to catch her. But the creature's small victory was short-lived when [u]Dragonheart's[/u] lance impaled it right into its hind body. The huge dog let out its dying whimper before expiring. The fight was over. "[color=orange]Never seen a dog that large before.[/color]" Wu remarked before addressing [u]Will-O-Wisp[/u] and [u]Dragonheart[/u]. "[color=orange]Are you two alright? Dragonheart and Will-O-Wisp, right? I've read your files at the last day. Uhh, sorry for getting dragged into all of this. It was only supposed to be just me and my team but Sir Haynek made last minute changes.[/color]" Wu then saw that [u]Will-O-Wisp[/u] was covered in cuts. "[color=orange]Jeez, you look like you had a rough time. Don't worry, my team has a Medic who can patch you right up. Ah, speaking of which, what happened with your team? Did you see what happened to Raven Three?[/color]" "[color=orange]My team's already down an Operator, by the way. Disappeared into thin air. I'm actually here looking for her but...[/color]" Wu's face darkened. "[color=orange]...I doubt my efforts will bear fruit.[/color]"
