Chapter 13 - The Forest

"Hey guys, I found a river!" says Rocoka as he starts making a rock bridge.                                                           

Just as he starts on the bridge, Hydro blasts it to pieces and throws him into the river.                                 

"Hey, what do you think your doing Hydro!" says Blaze as he makes a fire force-field around Hydro, making him instantly dehydrated and weak.

"Ok, now that Hydro is, well... imobilized, we can keep going," says Blaze as he helps Rocoka, Frost, Crystal, and Wonda build the bridge while Statica guards Hydro.

"Hey, at least we get some time to talk now, hehe," says Hydro as he tries to break free.                                   

"Don't even think about it Hydro, I don't have time for your stupidity!" says Statica as she elecrticutes Hydro making him stop talking.                                            

While the group starts walking across the bridge to the other side, Blaze finally decides to let Hydro go. They reach the other side and continue walking, studying everything that they pass. Then Blaze abruptly stops. He looks back, signaling for them to stay low and quiet. They have found a camp of 5 plantkeepers huddling around a fire, trying to eat some old Hogjui jerky(Hogjui are a type of cattle that the plantkeepers keep in herds, the Hogjui are green cattle with wooden horns and always have green algae growing on them). The eight teenagers slowly surround them in the bushes quietly, just as they are about to completely surround them, Hydro, as they always do for some reason, steps on a Sloug(a green glow-in-the-dark slug that screams earpiercingly when stepped on).                                        

'Aeiiiiiii'                                                                                       

At the sound of the scream the 5 plantkeepers immediately jump up with spears , arrows, and other deadly weapons in their hands. At once, the 8 teenagers pounch on them, holding each on them in a nerveblock(hitting them at a nerve point which temporarily paralizes them), holding them as Blaze starts asking them some questions.                     

"First of all, I'd like to know, how was the Hogjui jerky?" says Hydro, trying to hide a grin.                          

"Hydro, we don't have time for ametuer comedians, now guys, are you working to Hojosoma and his army?" says Blaze.                                  

"Yeah, he and his guys came and forced us to teach them to be plantkeepers and he told us to stay here since he knew that you 8 would come and find us, though he didn't expect you all to find us so soon." said one of the plantkeepers as he tries to ease Rocoka's irongrip.                                                                         "Ok, thanks for the info, now we'll have to hide you all somewhere so that Hojosoma won't find you and we'll keep looking for him, just tell us where he is," says Crystal.                                                    

"He is on the Neonkeeper planet." says the smallest plantkeeper.                                                                             

"Hey, why don't we put them on my waterisland?" says Hydro.                                                                                

"Great idea Hydro(the first thing he did right for a change)" whispers Frost to Wonda who giggles.                

"Ok guys, we better get them there fast, lets get back to the yacht fast." says Blaze as he leads the way back.                                   When they get back on the yacht they quickly speed over to Hydro's island. When they get there, they go to his house and put the plantkeepers in his basement saferoom. As they come back up from the basement, they are greeted by Hydro's dad, Aqua, who warmly greets them, but while he is greeting them, Hojosoma and his men grab them!                                                                                            

"Hey! what is this, what are you doing!", says Blaze as he and his friends(and his so-called friend Hydro) try and get free.                                                          

"YOU ARE ALL NOW IN MY CAPTIVITY!" says Hojosoma!(Wow, I didn't expect to put him in here so soon, hehe) with a loud booming voice.                           

"Hydro, you and your friends have gone too far, see too much, played your last checker piece!" says Aqua(my brother chose the name and what's happening so far).                                                                        

"Though, Hydro, my son, you can redeem yourself and one of your friends, if you decide to come with me!" says Aqua, waiting for Hydro to decide.                    

"I can choose only one friend?" says Hydro.                      

"Yes," says Aqua, who is now getting annoyed.                   

"Ok, I choose Statica," says Hydro.                                      

"Oh thank you Hydro!" says Statica as she walks away from her friends.                                                           

"How could you do this to us Hydro!" says Rocoka.        

"I never really liked you dude, plus, it's payback for the mean treatment that you all showed towards me!" says Hydro as he, Aqua, and Statica walk away into the banquethall.                                               Wow, guys, I didn't know that this part would go the way it did, tell all your friends about it, and there will be more really soon!
