They tried to stop her but she was at the edge of the clearing in a matter of seconds. Peach laughed tiredly, " She's a wild one ". Chase nodded, " I'm beginning to find her more stressful than this exam ". Dylan simply stomped after her, " She's a damn monkey ".
**^**^**^**^**^**
Kofi held Whiskers with one hand as she surveyed the clearing, " Figured out what's wrong with it yet "? Whiskers shrugged, " You brought me out of the space to ask me this "?
She held him by his fur and smiled, " Ow, I'm sorry. Would you prefer to test it out for yourself "? She threw him into the edge of the clearing and dusted her hands, " That's better ".
Whiskers landed on his feet in the middle of the clearing, " That brat! I'll get you back for that ". He looked around the clearing and rubbed his nose with his paw, " Very obvious stun bombs ".
He smirked as he began walking around them, " No matter. A supreme sophisticated system like myself can easily solve this ". He got to the gate and laid flat, waiting for the others " I miss that bacon thing. It tasted good ".
Kofi managed to memorize Whiskers pattern and was about to go back to get the others when they appeared underneath her tree, " I was just coming to get you guys ". Peach took a deep breath, " You have to stop running off Fifi ".
She jumped down and smiled, " Sorry, I was just curious ". Chase smiled slightly, " Ever heard the expression, curiosity killed the cat "? She tilted her head to the side, " No and I don't get it ".
She turned to the clearing and picked a stone, " Whiskers already figured it out and there's something we have to avoid in here too ". Dylan squinted slightly, " What could that possibly "?
She threw the stone she picked randomly and it seemed to get shocked. They were all surprised and she pointed at that, " Probably that, but less painful. Let's go ".
Kofi walked casually and looked back at the others, " Why aren't you moving? Don't you want to finish this stupid exam ". Peach was the first to go after her, " Wait for me Fifi ".
Chase and Dylan looked at each other and Dylan sighed, " What's the worst that could happen "? And walked after the two. Chase quickly scrambled after them, " Don't leave me by myself guys ".
Surprisingly, they got to the other side unharmed. Kofi scratched the fox's chin, " That's my amazing and super smart survivor ". Whiskers wagged his tail happily [ Don't stop. I guess I can let that throw go ]
Peach laughed as she squatted with Kofi, " He's so cute ". Kofi nodded, looking at her " Wanna pet him "? She quickly shook her head, " I couldn't possibly do that ". Kofi pouted slightly, picking Whiskers and putting him in her face " You sure? I know you wanna ".
Peach quickly gave in and hugged it tightly. She gasped as she touched his fur, " He's a lot softer than I thought he'd be ". Kofi smiled, " It's tempting to use him like a pillow sometimes ".
Dylan groaned, " Stop distracting Peach. Let's go ". Chase touched the gate and it beeped, a small cabinet opening on it. He jumped back, expecting it to blow but it didn't.
Dylan picked the black orb and examined it closely, " Guess these are the stuff they were talking about earlier ". Kofi nodded, stretching " Good work Chase. It'll be easier now ".
Peach held Whiskers close, " We should get going. I didn't even realize we'd gone so far ". Kofi looked at her wrist band which showed Level 19 in blinking red and smiled, " Aren't you glad we jumped out the plane now "?
They laughed as they continued they're journey back into the woods. Just avoiding the men clad in black and a skull badge on their shoulders.
