Whilst all this was going on Gazu and co had already started making their way up the steep incline whilst using the vines the kind boy lay down for them. "H-hey Gazu", said Timothy, "what?", replied Gazu, "do you think t-that m-m-maybe that trail that we saw earlier leading into the second layer was left behind by that boy?", inquired Timothy. Gazu looked over to Timothy and said, "so what if he was the one that left the trail behind, AT THE END OF THE DAY HIS JUST STUPID, WHY IS HE HELPING OTHER PEOPLE TO PASS, THIS IS A TEST NOT A CO-OPERATION!" With a look of confusion on his countenance Curzon replied saying, "Gazu youuu don't make annnyy sense, why are you helping usss if this is a test and not a so-called co-operation?" Embarrassed Gazu replied saying, "b-because you weakarses would get your ass sent to nocturna if I wasn't here to protect you, and rival told me to do so, so I have to", "weeel whatever let's just go", said Curzon confused. Steadily but surely the three boys carried on climbing until… "c-can you guys see that", said Timothy whilst peering at the top of the incline. Everyone looked up and began to realize that a cylindrical ball of sharp spikes was hurtling towards them like a pinball, "DUCK!", shouted Gazu. They all ducked simultaneously as hundreds maybe thousands of the balls rolled down the incline bouncing past them, they could hear shrieks behind them as some others didn't realize and were quite literally stabbed to death by the spiky balls. Gazu whilst ducking opened his eyes and saw that someone in the corner of his eyes was turned into a bloody sponge because of the balls, this didn't seem to phase him as he muttered to himself, "this is what you get for not listening". "huff puff is thaat the end of it", said Curzon sweating profusely, "I t-think so" said Timothy now holding up his head, "or not", said Gazu already holding up his head, as he said this a spike ball the size of a boulder was now racing towards them. "I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT IN ORDER TO STOP THIS WE MUST COMBINE OUR EFFORTS", ordered Gazu. Timothy called forth his wind Spirrian and Curzon was now transferring his fat into energy, Gazu encased his arms in rock and took a defensive stance in order to halt the rock for everyone to use their force to push it back whilst using his legs to hold the vine, "FULL POWER!", he shouted. Other aspiring adventurers now joined in, the rock was now an inch away from them, the rock was now crushing against Gazu's arms, Curzon was sending out brutal shock waves whilst Timothy's Spirrian was sending out sharp gusts of wind, there was a boy sending conjured bulls towards the giant ball full of spikes that were ramming it and a girl stretched her hair out and used it to whip the spiky ball. Their combined efforts seemed to be futile as they only ended up deterring the rock from its original path that would've killed a lot more than it ended up killing. As it soon bounced off Gazu's arms and charged itself to the left of Gazu missing people in the middle and on the right side but completely eradicating the left side. It hurtled down and crushed about thirty of them then slammed to the ground causing a mini earthquake, all that was left under it was a sea of blood.
Scared people scrambled towards the top soon the boy with the power to conjure and the girl with the power to seemingly control her hair passed by Gazu, he didn't say a thing, "couldn't y-you at least have said t-thank you", said Timothy disappointed. "How ungraatefull can onee be", Curzon said disappointed also, "WELL WHY DIDN'T ANY OF YOU SAY IT", said Gazu annoyed, "because I expected you to say it", they both said at the same time as if planned. "WELL, WE DON'T WANT TO BE LEFT BEHIND SO LET'S CARRY ON GOING", Gazu said as if trying to forget they ever said anything, and with that, they carried on trailing up the incline. Before too long they reached the top and were back on stable land, Curzon fell down instantly and said, "caaan weee take a break, please?", Timothy also fell down and said, "I agree". "NO MORE BREAKS", they both looked up jaded, he continued, "IF WE TAKE TOO MANY BREAKS WE'LL FAIL", "one more break woont hurt", said Curzon, "well I guess you guys can fail by yourself", Gazu said brashly. He strode off when almost out of nowhere a familiar voice could be heard in the distance shouting, "HELP HEELP", "huh", Gazu said turning his head toward the screams. Then bursting out from the trees to the left of Gazu came Lillian carrying Jinjuso on her back bloodied. "RIVAL", shouted Gazu in a worried tone, Curzon and Timothy rushed over with shocked expressions on their faces. "w-what happened to Jinjuso", asked Timothy as she lay him down on the ground, "thaaat dossent matter we need to help hiiim", said Gazu now crying. Lillian explained their ordeal with the Ganabons and how brave and steadfast Jinjuso and Kaizeen were and also how cowardly she was, she also explained that after the battle Jinjuso fell asleep and that whilst he was sleeping he was coughing up blood as she indicated to her blood-covered lap. "Whaaat are we going to do, this seems serious", Curzon said crying, "y-you're an h-healer aren't you?", asked Timothy, "PLEASE DO SOMETHING FOR RIVAL", Gazu said shouted. Lillian looked down at Jinjuso on the verge of tears and fumbled between her words saying, "w-why do you think I was searching for help gentleman, it's because... I could do nothing for poor Jinji". As if Jinjuso heard the conversation his eyes opened fiercely and he shot up to the ground like a tornado scaring Lillian so much she let out a yelp, everyone shocked out of their mind just stood there and watched Jinjus. Then Gazu smiled and said, "THAT'S MY RIVAL", "a-are you even human?", followed up Timothy, "Yoourr okay", Curzon said with a sigh of relief. "Ohhhh Jinji your so strong, I admire you so much", said Lillian still looking worried, "y-you do", said Jinjuso blushing, "don't worry though guys I'm fine, did you really think some bears would put me out of commission", he moved whilst saying ack and uff. Then almost out of instinct, Lillian said, "halt your horses Jinji, you won't be going anywhere till I know you're fine", she said this whilst pouting. Everyone watched as she walked over and examined Jinjuso's body from head to toe as if she was looking for errors on purpose, then she stepped away smiled, and said, "ok, your fine to go now Jinji". Lillian looked over to Gazu and said, "please give him a helping hand gentleman", Gazu looked back to her and said, "sure thing mam", he grabbed one of Jinjuso's arms, she looked over to Curzon smiled, and said, "please assist him gentleman", Curzon also said, "yes ma'am", and supported Jinjuso on his left side. "You're with me gentleman", she said looking down to Timothy and smiling. Lillian was like a teacher giving her students instructions, "ok let us make haste gentleman", she said waving her finger forward, "YES MAM", the boys shouted as they moved off.
Over to the west side of the forest lay Kaizeen still asleep until the sound of singing started to softly sink into his eardrums, he could hear the singer as words unbeknownst to him flowed from their mouth smoothly and softly like water flowing down a waterfall, they sang the words: "sier midhir, conti, nos contino beausemini isenbald, ohhh sier midhir, anri, tera yur brightenuse jir upon contino prospero isenbald", (morning sun shineth on this beautiful land, ohhh morning sun don't let your brightness dim upon this prosperous land) "what's this beautiful singing, am I in heaven", thought Kaizeen. Kaizeen shot open one of his eyes to see the back of a girl sitting atop a rock overlooking the beautiful plains her long lusciously curly auburn hair seemed to run off the wind as it swayed side to side and lay on her back, she wore a beautiful white dress. "Am I dreaming? or is this an angel?", thought Kaizeen he rubbed both of his eyes and then opened them to see that same angel bent down with her eyes right next to his it was as if she teleported right in front of him, her golden eyes sparkled when they looked at him, "oh so your finally awake, yippee", as she shouted this she jumped up high her fist raised high and said, "new friend now acquired". Kaizeen sat there in awe as he now glimpsed how tall she was he could just estimate that she was about 7 foot!, "Galli are you a giant, your hella tall", "ohhh so you're a landlubber," she said as she looked down, "their always so shocked to see me", she continued, "but do not be scared landlubber I'm harmless and I want to be your friend". "Oh, c'mon I don't even know you enough to be your friend", said Kaizeen still looking at her in awe he couldn't stop looking at her elongated features and her crazy fashion sense apart from the expensive dress. She wore rainbow-colored rings on all her long branch-like fingers and stripy wristbands around her wrist she wore a big floppy white sunhat for seemingly no reason but that wasn't the worst, she wore a red boot on one foot and then a golden ballerina shoe on the other, and she had a polka dot sock and a blue and red one. "Kaizeen looked up at her and said, "the hells up with your fashion", "she looked down at him shocked, and said, "Is this not what landlubbers wear", she wore a confused expression and said, "what's wrong with it", "fix the shoes and socks then we'll talk", he said, "Okie Dokie", she said as she unexpectedly turned around and bent down revealing too much. Blushing Kaizeen said, "can you please turn back around", "um ok", she said, she then took of her shoes and socks and valiantly dashed them over the cliff, "wait but you didn't have to do that", said Kaizeen surprised, "but you said fix the shoes and socks then we'll talk", she said confused, "so now we can talk right". Kaizeen looked down to see she had arched talon-like feet, "the hells up with her feet", he thought, she sat down next to him still looking down even though she was sitting down, Kaizeen looked down at himself and realized that his wounds were healed, and he felt invigorated, he looked up at her and said, "wait did you bring me here and heal me". "It is true I brought you here landlubber, but I did no such thing as healing you, you must just heal fast it seems", she said rather concisely. With an exquisite and chipper smile, she looked down at him and asked him many questions like: "where do you live?", "what do you eat?", how old are you?", "do you have friends?", as she asked these questions, she seemed to do a little dance. Overwhelmed Kaizeen looked up at her and said, "jeez will you slow down with the questions that's a lot to answer at once", she looked down at him and said, "ok ill ask you a simple question landlubber, what do they call you?", "names Kaizeen yours", "she looked up to the sky and said, "Annerosaria, that's what they call me", "so can we be friends now please, pretty please, " Kaizeen looked at her and said, "still no I really don't know you all that well". "Did you like my singing?", Annerosaria asked, "yeah it was nice It was enchanting", Kaizeen replied, "good I want to make all you landlubbers smile when you hear my singing". Kaizeen stood up and said, "well it was nice talking to you Annerosaria, but I really need to go", "please don't leave me", she said with a sad look on her face, "no I really need to go, bye", he replied, "well I'll come with you", she said. Kaizeen sighed and said, "ok well don't slow me down and I'm moving fast so try and keep up, Annerosaria looked at him put her hands over her mouth and went into a fit of laughter to the point she was tearing up, "hey what the hells so funny", Kaizeen said not expecting to her laugh so hard. "Well because we won't be walking". As she said this, she did a valiant T-pose and beautiful pure white wings burst out her back as if something out of fantasy, "WOAH!", shouted Kaizeen, then he composed himself, "well I knew you weren't human, guess ill get there before you Jinjuso". Annerosaria used her feet to jump up and grabbed Kaizeen with them, they were off, "so where are we going?", she queried, Kaizen sighed.
