[ it's all according to
plan I MEAN, goodbye, and have fun in life~]
''Oh? Then, you don't want our help,
right?'' ''Sure he does!'' ''No, he... Whatever!! You are too big
for us to carry you out anyway. Wish you luck, I
guess...''
Durandal says with an arrogant stare and floats away from the fire.
The roaring flames touched and burned his scarves quite a lot. His
blades are nearly turning red from the heat. He's not quite sure he
made a right decision, or at least his one half thinks so.
Durandal keeps arguing with himself about it. Though somehow, he
just can't split up. The both sides share one soul. The burning
heat lingers, so he agreed on one thing. Returning to the lake and
cooling himself with cold water.
[Durandal keeps being a bastard, like he always was~]
Noko was a little surprised and quite angry at the Pokémon. He
shook his antlers, shaking an ember off his leaves. Beginning to
cough, he shouted, "Someone! Come and help... Someone help put out
this fire!" He grunted as he inhaled smoke, sharp with the scent of
pine. If there was two things about fire that he remembered when he
was a human, was that one, most people die by smoke, not the actual
fire and, two, smoke is lighter than air, so it floats up.
Noko fell to the ground, beginning to commando crawl towards the
edge of the clearing, where the flames had not yet reached. That
coward of a trainer was long gone.
Flames suddenly leapt into his pathway, blocking the only exit. Oh,
crap. "Help! Someone help!"
''We should at least clean up his
pathway!'' ''No, we should not.'' ''Yes we should!!'' ''Okay, can we just stop?! Fine, but we
need to cool down a bit first.''
The arguments were, at the end, meaningless, as this conversation
was one-sided from the start. Like a falling meteor, Durandal hit
the water with a huge splash. The coldness of the lake instantly
cooled the heat off, steam was bursting everywhere.
He then looked back. The smoke was everywhere, and the fires were
going to soon reach the lake. Durandal's not sure if he can
penetrate the smoke, but he goes in anyway. He heard screams, but
he doesn't see the Pokemon itself.
''Hey, anyone there?'' - he
shouted at the burning forest, hoping to get a response.
Ivy scowls at the unnatural warmth, even at the lake. She mutters
complaints and leaps into the lake, which is mostly unaffected from
the fire. She relaxes near the surface, getting air whenever her
lungs feel the slightest twinge.
Summer woke up, she coughed, getting out of the hole she made she
covered it up, 'I'm getting cleaned after that,' Summer
thought, going to the lake/pond, walking in the water was cold,
'I wish I was home!' Summer thought, she whined, then she
cleaned herself. Getting out of the lake/pond, Summer shook herself
clean, walking over to a berry bush she plucked a berry, biting
into it she sat down and thought of how big the place was, 'As
big as Earth?' Summer esimated, swallowing and taking another
bite.
Ivy looks at Wesley. "What gave it away?" She asks her voice dry
with sarcasm. "And I'm not sure... I haven't tried." She mutters to
herself for a few minutes, until a jet of ice comes out of her
mouth and onto the lake, cooling the water... Maybe a little too
much. "Hey, I did it!"
Noko shouted as he heard the honedge's cry, "Help me!" He struggled
underneath a smoldering branch which had fallen on him earlier. He
pushed forward with his hooves, only for the dry dirt to crumble at
his touch. He wailed with sadness and anger. Was it really to end
like this? Alone? Afraid? Who was waiting for him when he died?
All this spun in Noko's head as his eyes smarted from the smoke.
His lungs were losing oxygen and inhaling more smoke. Blackness
crowded his vision and hr fought to stay conscious.
''Yeah, good luck finding him in all
this smoke.'' ''S-shut up, w-we can totally find
him!''
The situation seems hopeless. It was partially his fault that all
this happened. Durandal decided to cut through the burning
branches. With all this smoke, it would be more likely for him to
accidentally stab the Pokemon than actually rescuing it.
Inside the burning forest, he oversaw something moving. He couldn't
believe he actually found the Pokemon.
''Follow us, I will try to cut through
the forest... If I could actually see the forest.'' - he
proclaimed, while freeing the deer from the branch, and soon,
cutting through the flaming bushes.
Violet goes back to her cave and lays down. It's still smoking
over there... Should I do something? she wonders No. If
anyone is there, its their problem. She tells herself coldly.
Sighing, she gazed at the fast flowing river outside her cave. She
walks over there, and drinks from the water, the cold soothing her
parched throat. Once she's done, she takes a running start and
leaps over the river, and runs until she reaches a clearing. Then,
she stops, and gazes into the dark, even denser forest.
Wesley laughed and smiled, "Nice job, it was kinda obvious, since
you kinda grumbled a bit in disapproval, and it's been a little
toasty in here, so y'know."
Noko blinked up at the steel type pokemon. "Thanks."
He heaved himself up, wincing as raw skin stretches over his
muscles and bone. "Where do we go? That trainer needs to learn a
lesson."
Thoughts whirred in his head, good and bad. If his antlers burned,
would he die? Will he ever be able to talk normally? Only time
would tell.
[I don't mind at all, people make mistakes after all. ^^;]
''We are going to the lake, you
imbecile. There's absolutely no way you're going to face a trainer
in this state.'' - Durandal replies boldly.
The fires burn his scarves, the ashes and the smoke blackens his
heated up blade. His swords are sharp enough to cut through the
trees of charcoal. He turns his back to inspect the Pokemon's
health.
''So... Are you alright?'' - he
asks, as he's getting close to the lake.
Ivy looks up at him, swimming gracefully in the lake without making
many ripples. "You should come in, it's really nice and cold." She
says, splashing him with her tail, drenching him. She smirks at
Wesley, and dives underwater.
Wesley shuddered. "Okay, it's a little refreshing. I suppose I'll
cool off." He jumped into the water, swimming around. "It's been
awhile since I cooled off. So this is quite relaxing."
