[1st POV, 5/9/19] With night approaching me and the giraffe continued on our journey. Honestly I question ... everything. No matter time to pull my club out. The giraffe pulled out a sword of the grass element (Gerald's inner element is grass) he had gotten it from a cube we destroyed earlier.
All seemed the same: these creatures just keep walking back and forth, the purple poison grass, [5/10/19] those floating prices of land, deep holes, & the rest was all the same. Only difference was the layout.
After, I guess, an hour or two we found a good stop to rest for the night. I ate some fruit I had & Gerald munched on some tree leaves.
"We should reach the poachers' fort thing early tommorow." I said ,"Say you think we should pray to the deities?"
"We'll honestly I've been praying since I was captured but we should do a prayer our loud & offer a burnt offering of food." Responded Gerald.
"Great idea, but how do we do it?" I questioned
"Simple you ... Wait first have some good food left. Then search for rocks. I'll look for sticks or other burnable things. Maybe also look for more food. Hmmm .. that should be it Now .. Go!"
[5/12/19, 3rd POV] After a good amount of searching (it wasn't hard not interesting) Magical Bear showed up with the stuff. Seconds later Gerald showed up with the other stuff.
"Ok now that we have the supplies we can [5/14/19] set up this alter and burn the sacrifice. The deities like the smell of certain smoke. Alright out the rocks in a cirlce. Sticks in the center. Now ... Say Magical Bear can you use a fire art jutsu?"
"I don't know, I've never tried. How do I do one?" Asked Magical Bear.
Gerald began to explain how his heard do it and once his finished Magical Bear shouted ,"Fire Art:Sacrifice Burning Jutsu!" All while doing the symbols. A small but of fire enough to ignite the offering came from the bear's mouth.
The two celebrated and paid respects to the deites. After that they slept for the night. When morning came the two of them continued towards the poachers' hideout. The bear was taught more fir art jutsus by the giraffe. Also the giraffe showcased some grass set jutsus and the bear mimicked them. Really and truly though not much was different than before.
[5/15/19] "Grass Art:Grass Slash!" Shouted Gerald to a larger creature. Grass surrounded the creature and finished it.
"Good job Gerald. Only two more and we reach their base." Said Magical Bear. Both the bear and the giraffe were begining to tire from all the nonsensical things that morning.
There was another one of the larger creatures. Gerald sliced and diced with his grass sword until the creature disappeared.
[5/16/19] "Last one. I'll handle this." Said Magical Bear "Fire Art:Flamming Fire Jutsu!" The bear then began to breathe fire. Unfortunately Magical Bear ran out of breathe when the opponent still had half of it's HP. Luckily it can do much so Magical Bear just began to rapid punch it.
Once it disappeared the two animals continued towards the hideout. Nothing, mostly, was perculiar, no weird creatures, no floating land, no poison grass, & no holes in the ground.
"There's the entrance, Gerald."
"It sure is ... No what.?"
"Simple" said the bear as it summoned it's club. "Watch." Then the door fell, after a few hits, & they went in.
[1st POV, 5/17/19] Inside the fortress, it wasn't as dark as I expected. We manuved around weird human things shaped like cubes. No problems even with those creatures until weapons started shooting at us. Even then it was too obvious.
I kept wondering if there would be something like the SMR here. Oh well no way to know until we get there. Every now and then there were spikes, they possessed no danger if we treaded carefully.
[5/18/19] "Hey, Magical Bear how close are we to the end?" Asked Gerald.
The bear activated binocular vision and said ,"Actually were nearly there."
"Ok good."
We continued to out smart the human traps and made progress. Nothing staying in our way for very long.
After a little we reached some doors like the ones I saw before I fought the SMR. Then the door opened & we walking in.
Like before it was completely dark after the doors closed behind us. When the lights cut on we saw a human with an animal with mechanic/human made gear. The human then spoke.
[2nd POV, 5/19/19] "Hello Magical Bear. Hello Gerald." How did the human know.. "You've done well to get here & you recruited the giraffe. Sadly this is your end. Behind the Semi-mechanic wart-hog. (We need better names.)" Then the human disappeared.
"Gerald step aside I'll be able to handle this." Said Magical Bear.
Both the smwh and the bear charged foward. The both of them attacked each other dealing damaging blows. The smwh did something & I realized it would be a fire art jutsu. Magical Bear was caught in it but just countered with another fire art jutsu.
I noticed something weird about to happen above the two. ,"Uh.. Magical Bear. I think you should watch your head." Soon as I said finished fire came out and then it stopped.
"Thanks Gerald." A the bear. The battle continued on. The smwh would soon and follow up with a spike attack. Magical Bear did a 'Dash Punch' and used the club. I had no way of knowing how close the two were to fainting. Plus the fire would still come out from above. I fear that I might have to battle.
[3rd POV, 5/20/19] Both combats had less than half their HP and were quickly losing it. The bear couldn't ground pound because the wart hog's armor had spikes. However Magical Bear had the upper hand, more skill, strength, and experience.
[5/22/19] The fire kept coming from above at regular intervals. The giraffe stated nervously throughout the whole thing. The battle neared it's end as both of them ran low on HP. 'Just one more Dash Punch should do it.' Thought the bear. When the time was right.
"Dash Punch!" The attack landed and finished off the smwh. It squealed and fell down. It's armor fell off. The bear was going to leave it like before but Gerald told him to wait.
The wart hog got up slowly & looked confused.
"Hello, I am Gerald & this is Magical Bear. What is your name?"
"Warty. Warty Wart Hog."
"We'll.. Warty how would you like to help us fight the poachers? We kinda need help. " Asked Gerald.
The wart hog thought about it for a minute and then said, "sure, I want some revenge."
[5/24/19] "Ok then you're in. Now let's get going. Follow me." Said Magical Bear as the bear continued towards the now opened exit. There was a human and a weird structure with and ocean inside.
"Shoot! Run!" Said the human while grabbing and assault rifle. After the human ran in the picture in the portal changed to another angle of the ocean.
"Quick follow that human." Said Magical Bear. The tree of them ran in. A few seconds of weird colors later they were on a small island. All three of them looked around and then, "there! Another one of their forts. We need a plan."
So the three of them discussed some possible plans. They eventually decided to wait until morning to go swimming with some strange thing w/ oxygen. Until then they'd tell stories. In the morning they would use the same strategy as before.
[5/25/19] "Before we tell stories let me say a few things about myself. " Said Warty ," the names Warty, I'm a wart hog. My memories a little unclear due to me becoming a minion of the poachers. Sorry about the fight Magical Bear."
"Naw, it's fine. Keeps my skills sharp." Said the bear.
