Lock said "The One that likes the Strange Water is always in his room with lots of Females. While the other seems like he is always scheming in our 'Information Room'."
Scarlet said "Okay, Matt is the Second One we take out if he were in his room with Females, they would keep him entertained long enough for us to take out Tony quickly and quietly. He is the more dangerous One to deal with because he is in fact always scheming. He can also use Matt's weapons with or without him around. So, he is the First target."
Nick said "I think that we need a distraction for their followers. Do you guys have any ideas?"
Turning to Nicks friends, the other group looked at them like they were completely clueless about everything that was just said, and Nick got embarrassed as he looked at his friends. Snapping his fingers, Nick brought them back to their senses and said, "Are you keeping up? Come on guys you're embarrassing me here."
Scarlet laughed and got up from Travis' lap and told the group to stand up as well. She began to walk to the confused group and as they stood there, Scarlet brought Water in to swirl around them and cleaned them up. After some quick examinations she said "How about you eat and get some rest First. We will get ready and go in after dark."
The group didn't really know how to answer, and a Black-haired Male spoke up next. "My name is Mac. We are fine to handle whatever needs to be done. We may have no Bands, but we are by no means Weak 'Great Spirit'. We will do what needs to be done whatever it may be. Just give us our orders and we will carry them out without fail."
With the Strength in his voice and words Scarlet believed everything that he said and started laughing. Confused about what was so funny they started to think that she was laughing at how Weak she thought they were and were about to say something. As Scarlet caught her breath and said, "I don't doubt that, but food and rest will make you a bigger help then if you are like this now."
Nick walked up and said "She is not looking down on you. She can see how people truly are and we will all benefit from her help. When the food is ready you will eat, and we will get some rest. After dark we will go on the attack."
The group was happy to hear what he said, and Nick went over to the food and continued to cook the hefty meal. He suddenly felt something soft brush his shoulder and looked over to see Scarlet next to him. He seen that it was her hair brushed his shoulder as she leaned over to look at the food.
He laughed and said, "It will be ready soon you foody." Then he snagged her by the waste and pulled her to him leaving her giggling and wrapping her arms around his neck. She said, "Good because I'm hungry and trust me when I say they" She gestured to Nicks friends and finished "Have not had a decent meal in a long while. So, make sure to make lots of your yummy food. We need to be at our best when we start this because once we start there is no stopping."
With a Kiss she got up and said, "I'm going to explore outside let me know when the food is ready."
Giggling, Scarlet got up and skipped outside and began her little adventure. Leaving the Males in the cave she went out to explore.
When they were alone Rex looked at Nick and said, "How many Bands do you have now?" With a shy expression he said "She unlocked my Power and when it was done, I had Four Bands at once. The process took a long time to happen, and it was extremely painful. We found each other by accident, and she said that since I entertained her, and she helped me."
It didn't take too long to get the food ready and when Travis was about to go and get Scarlet, she was already making her way back to them with something in her hands. Jumping into his arms she said excitedly "Look at what I found. I can make some Great Healing Medicine from this and also…"
Mac cut her off and said, "Those are poisonous you can't heal people with them."
Nick smacked him in the back of head and said "She is smarter than you think. Don't question her."
Laughing Scarlet said "I know that the Tops are poisonous, but the Stem is good for stopping blood. I can also use the Tops to make a Poison Bomb." With a smile Scarlet said, "I'm going to get this ready right now!"
Nick just shook his head and smiled as he made his way back into the cave. After Travis made everyone a bowl of food, he seen that they were all drooling over it. Nick told them to dig in and there was plenty for all of them if they wanted more.
Travis made a bowl of food for Scarlet and went over to her little work area she made and began to feed her as she worked. The group just watched her work and began to eat absentmindedly, but when they tried the food, their tastebuds brought them back to reality. Nick watched them and laughed when he seen their faces. He said, "She taught me how to cook food that is not only good but good for you as well."
Scarlet said, "Don't be so modest my Love. All I taught you was how to pay attention to Flavor you did the rest." She looked up at him and gave him a sweet smile making him blush at her praise.
The group was unable to handle the interaction that was going on between them and were having issues with dealing with it. By the end of the meal Scarlet was finished with the Items that she was making and went over how they worked. When she finished, she said, "I have a few ideas. Going by the layout I will need One of you Males to take me into the 'Information Room' and we will start by taking Tony out First. Matt is a Hot Head, and he wants to act like he is in charge. But get him mad enough and he will be Weakened by blinders, but Tony will keep a clear head and destroy everything without batting an eye."
Nick and Travis didn't like being separated from Scarlet, but they had to deal with it. They would do whatever she said and deal with their own feelings separately. The group agreed on it and said "Boone would be a better choice for getting you to him. That's his area of expertise and he knows all sorts of Secret Passages that lead to that room."
Another Black-haired Male stepped forward and said "I am Boone and I have been sneaking into that area for many years. I can get you there safely, but getting to the other is going to be more difficult. He has strange weapons that act like Jaws that are hidden into the ground and he also has Strange Liquid that he doesn't drink, but can-do great damage."
Scarlet took in the information and said, "So he rigged the place to explode and from the feel of it earlier it seems to be 'Rumble Serum.' With something like that at his disposal, if we get caught, he can destroy the place whole place before we know we screwed up."
After they finished eating and discussing things, they took a nap and the group of Six Males for the First time felt a since of Safety and slept peacefully with full stomachs for the First time in what felt like forever.
When the Two groups woke up at nightfall, they were getting ready to go and making the final preparations to their plan. After they finished eating, they were ready to move. Scarlet gave Nick a kiss and said, "Be careful alright?"
Then went over to Travis and Kissed him as well saying something similar but changed the ending "If anything goes wrong you know what to do right?"
After taking a deep shaky breath Travis shook his head and said "I won't let you down. You can count on me." Then he kissed her again, not liking the plan that he had agreed to follow.
They both told her that they Loved her, and she replied with an 'I Love you' of her own. She allowed herself to be wrapped up by Boone and then carried off to start the mission.
