I ran back to the burnt village and looked for Toyo's hammer. After looking for an hour; I saw the hammer on the ground. I picked It up and ran back. "Everyone I am back and i now have the hammer so stand back and I'll break it down.", I yelled. My first swing was to line up the the strikes. I wound up and hit the boulder with every once of strength I had in me. The boulder did not move or crack. I kept hitting it with all my might but to no avail. "Toyo what do I need to do to break it.", I spoke with anger burrowed in my voice.
"Xeon must focus the impact in a smaller area. The head of hammer is too big." Toyo said. After hearing this I looked at the hammer and saw at the bottom of the hammer's pole that one part of it screwed off. As I twisted the part of the pole, out came a little spike. I put the spike in to a small crack in the boulder and took one big swing. I hit the spike and the crack opened bigger the face of the boulder that faced me had the effect of a glass mirror shattering from impact. I took out the spike and put it back in the tallest crack of the boulder. This time I took a running start and hit it with my momentum. For a second I thought that I had missed, because the boulder did nothing no crack. Then when I went to hit it again the boulder shattered into a pile of rocks. "Ok now that there is nothing blocking our exit lets....Where is Ryuu?" I said looking around.
"You are standing on him.", Naomi spoke with a hint of anger in her voice.
"Oops... well why did no one tell he was close to the boulder."
"We did tell you he was crushed by the boulder.", They all chimed in.
"Oops.....Sorry about that. Well I think we should start looking for a waterfall. But before that, I guess I owe you all an explanation." I said with a slight hint of regret as I remembered the five friends I had left behind. I started off by telling them that our five friends that I choose to leave behind had died. Then I told them that about the weird voice warning me of Akuma and telling me to meet him at a waterfall. Somewhere during the time I was speaking Ryuu had had came out of the rubble. "That is what happened and I am sorry that I did not take them with. It was just that thinking of the bigger picture I was sure that i could go back and get them. So if you hate me for the choice I would not blame you, but I think we should go to the waterfall." I shook with sorrow, tears, and anger, but this anger was at myself. Looking up at them I felt the same sense of relief and they believed that I did every thing I could.
"Well then Lets find us a waterfall." Delin voiced with eagerness.
"Yes Lets hunt a waterfall." Nisho yelled.
