Chapter 23 - ☆Jungle Escape☆

Kole was about to fight, but the Powered Up form he took knocked him out. Ice rushed over to him and said, "He's knocked out cold!" Mr. Nafario said, "We have to leave! Go back to the Savanna Lakes!" Milo flew back down and picked up Kole. Then they all started running. Edward said, "Mm.. sorry I can't let you go."

When the Savanna Lakes was just in their reach, it seemed like more jungle just appeared out of nowhere. Mr. Nafario said, "Oh no..." Then Edward shouted, you're in an infinite loop now! I'll let you run until you get tired. Then I'll come down and kill you." Mr. Nafario said, "This isn't going to be easy. Everyone! Touch my paw!"

Mr. Nafario held out his paw, and everyone placed their paw on his. Then Mr. Nafario sent them all into the Soul Realm. Edward said, "You do know that of you send them there, they'll pop right out somewhere else, right?" Mr. Nafario said, "Yes. And I'm going to find them.

Then Mr. Nafario went into the Soul Realm, and Edward muttered, "Dammit."

Kole slowly opened his eyes, and when he looked up, he saw the sun. Then he looked around, and he saw Milo, Blaze, Lark, Ice, and Blacksmith. Surrounding them was a bunch of dry grass with a single tree in sight. Kole stood up, but then he heard a squeak.

Kole looked down to see an animal he has never seen before. A cat. Kole lowered his head to take a closer look, but the cat hissed, "S-Stay back!" Kole tilted his head and asked, "You can talk?" The cat said, "Y-Yeah. What of it?" Kole said, "My name is Kole. What's yours?"

The cat looked hesitant, but then he said, "My name is Boom. I've never seen an animal like you before. What are you? And your friends are a bit scary too..." Kole sat down and said, "My friend aren't that bad. I'm a cheetah. You look cat-like, except that you don't look like a cheetah, lion, lynx or tiger at all!"

Boom tilted his head and said, "I'm just a cat. I've never heard of any of those things." Kole laughed and said, "The humans did give the name "cat" to an animal." Boom said, "You're very smart. You should meet Simion and Copper." Kole said, "There's more of you? That's awesome."

Then Boom said, "Stay right here. I'll be right back!" Then he ran off. A few minutes later, Boom came back with four cats. A copper colored cat with an eyepatch, a white cat with a metal tail, a white cat with black paws, and a black cat came with him. The copper colored cat said, "Uh... Simon. What is this?"

Simon stared at Kole in awe, and he shouted, "Oh my gosh! It's a cheetah! And a tiger! And more cheetahs!" Kole asked him, "So you're familiar with foxes and wolves?" Boom nodded, and the black cat said, "Yikes. He has more teeth than the Candies." Then Boom said, "Okay. This is Shadow, this is Steel, this one is Copper, and this one is Simon, my brother."

Kole bowed down and said, "Nice to meet you all." Shadow said, "At least he's polite. I have my suspicions with the fox and the wolf though. What if they're with the Grounders?" Boom said, "They aren't. They suddenly appeared when I was out hunting."

Then Blaze woke up and he murmured, "Huh?" Shadow hissed, and Steel said, "Calm down!" Blaze glanced down at the cats and he said, "Kole...? Did you, Ice, and Blacksmith shrink? Who are these other ones..?" Kole said, "Blaze these are cats." Then Blaze stood up and looked at Kole saying, "What kind of creature is that? Are they like you?"

Kole pointed down at the cats, and Blaze said, "Huh. They're fluffy. Like Milo. Except for that one. His tail is metal?" Then Boom said, "You're bigger than the other foxes." Blaze ignored him and started walking around, trying his best to not burn the grass in anger.

Then Kole said, "Can you show us to your home? We need a better place to rest than out here." Shadow said, "No way!" Then Copper said, "Of course you can. Just don't break anything." Kole stood up and said, "Blaze. Wake up the others. We'll be moving soon." Blaze rolled his eyes while saying, "Aye aye, Claudius."

Boom tilted his head and asked, "Who's Claudius?" Blaze said, "Okay, I know you never heard of cheetahs, but this is ridiculous! You're crazy!"
