After one heck of an event kale pulls me up by my arm and lifts me up onto his shoulder. Then he takes of sprinting.
"WHERE ARE WE GOING!!" I say managing to squeeze the words out of me as his shoulder is digging into my belly.
"Well we are currently headed home... I don't think your much use to me with a broken leg." He said his voice still bold and assuring.
"WHAT I HAVE A BROKEN LE-" I say before he cuts me off
"You probably don't feel it yet because your senses still are coming back. Including your sense of PAIN." He says his emphasis on pain throwing me of a bit. However no matter how unsettling it made me feel I was still safe from danger if I stayed with him.
"We should be arriving there any moment."Kale said sprinting through the unfamiliar forest of strange plants.
Some of the foliage has big round buds that glow a radiant blue. This new foliage is grotesque and off puting but I expect it to be like this because from what I remember we are in the savage territories. I remember Neo city and it's scents partially.
I begin looking around to see what I could see besides kales back once more and as we continued to glide through the forest I noticed we headed into a clearing surrounded by vines with shark teeth like thorns.
"Wh-what are these?!!" I said while trying to Dodge the vines that were now slashing at me from both sides.
"They are just shark vines relatively no threat if you keep your distance, but if you get too close the will...well let's say game over." Kale said calmly like we weren't traveling through walls of them.
"SO WHY ARE WE RUNNING RIGHT INTO THEM!!" I begin screaming.
" You won't to go home don't you child?" Kale says making a confused face(one of the only expressions he has).
And then I suddenly feel my body go weightless and I am getting higher into the air. Then I fell the pain of a dozen sharp needles in my back and I scream.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" I screamed my voice loud and squealing.
"Huh?" Kale says the slightest hint of confusion.
Then he looks up in the air to see me being flailed around in the air like a ragdoll or the group of beautiful birds that looked like ribbon dancers, but I was mainly hoping he saw me because the thorns hurt worse by the second and my leg was already BROKEN.
Kale then pulls out what seems to be a cactus in pot from his bookbag, as he is pulling it out of his bookbag I see a a checkmark symbol with an arrow going through it.
" Cactus plant phase 1" kale shouts the cactus plant turning into a bunch of arrows and the pot turning into a bow and quiver.
The head of the arrow being the top part of the cactus. As I look closer into the spectacle I see the symbol split into just a check and an arrow the arrow is on the quiver and the check is on the arrows. I also notice the outfit of kale has changed instead of baggy pants a vest and a backpack he has darker green tips of his hair and cactus spikes on the tips, his pants and shirt now pot armour.
" Phase 1 rain of cactus semi gauge!!" Kale shouts, the check and arrow symbol in a thin circle overlapping once again.
Kale begins to rapidly shoot the arrows in his quiver. They begin multiplying as they rapidly fall back down over the shark vines that have snagged me up.
" In conclusion your death was always a factor." He says glowing a mint green and once it disappears he's back in his normal outfit and shoves the potted cactus plant back in his bookbag.
As he does that the arrows all fall onto the shark vines making them shrivel up and shrink basically withering it away. After a while the arrows disappear and I basically pluck the shark vine that grabbed me of my back. I'm still in shock about what kale did and the fact he didn't hit me, it was like bro strategically planned everything within a second.
"What was THAT how did you do that and how didn't you hit me" I say in shock my eyes wide with envy.
"That.... That was "strings" and I wasn't planning not to hit and I wasn't planning to hit you." Kale says rustling his green hair.
" I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear the second part. Anyway what is "strings"!?" I say still curious.
"Do I look like a teacher to you kid!!" He said a bit of aggression in his voice.
"Listen kid camp is just through this tunnel" kale said following up his first sentence much more calm.
He then threw me over his shoulder like last time and we begin walking through the tunnel of shark vines.
