Chapter 13: We Came Prepared

Liz's Pov:
I groaned silently as I put a hand through my hair. I felt someone's hand on my wrist and I look to see it was Failboat. "Hey." He whispered with a small smile. I smiled back and gently moved his hand away from my wrist. "Let me guess, you're stressed about what happened there?" He asked, putting hands in his hoodie's pocket. "Yes, who wouldn't? I mean, that hallucination or memory or whatever it is, could hold a key to what is going! At least, that's what Hexa and TNT said." I explained, my eyes facing the ground. "Yeah, at least! We don't know if they are telling the truth!" Failboat mumbled, quietly. The whole group turned silent after Pink's memory or hallucination. "Whoa, I thought you said you apologized to TNT for saying those exact same words." I spoke, looking over to see if TNT overheard us. "Well, maybe it's time if I stopped showing my sweet side and start showing my tough side on him." He replied, crossing his arms. I gulped for a second knowing how Failboat can be when he is showing his tough side. You will never hear the end of it. "Well, he does act like a personal servant to us when you think about." I spoke, scratching my head. "What even do you want him to do?" I asked, confused at Failboat's sudden statement. "Look, he's acting strange and we all know that. You can sense it after he walked off Pink's whole hallucination scene. It's like he knows something we don't know. Maybe, he knows everything about what is happening." Dan explained, putting a hand on my shoulder as we continued to walk. "You really think so?" I asked, slightly nervous. "I know so and first we'll start off with examining what he knows about everything and this whole timeline thing." He responded, closing his eyes for a minute.

Suddenly, I was pulled back and into someone's chest. "You two, be careful!" The words above ExplodingTNT's head exclaimed. As soon as he left our side, I noticed an ice spear on a tree where I and Dan just stood. "It's that ice element!" I exclaimed to everyone in the group. "Zeph! Show yourself!" The words yelled out as TNT summoned fire. Something quickly hit him in the face and then in the stomach but, we couldn't notice it due to the speed it went at.

ExplodingTNT then made the fire in his hand into a sword as he held close to him. "Get your weapons, just in case." Failboat ordered and we all nodded. A lightning bolt quickly struck down into my hands and a lasso appeared. We all huddled into a circle as TNT continued to look at each corner of the forest to find the ice element. I saw him get kicked in the face as he got knocked over but, he quickly got back up again. Sam made his way over to us as he huddled up with us.

"Aw, look at the group! All together and huddled up! How cute..." A voice echoed throughout the forest. I grasped my lasso tightly and looked around in every direction. "Too bad it won't last forever!" A voice mumbled behind us. But, before he could turn around and attack, we were thrown back. I was thrown into a tree branch and hit the ground hard as I carefully got up with an aching pain in my back. "Zeph..." I mumbled, angrily. Zeph stood there with icicles all around him as he floated there with his arms crossed. "Liz, was it? Charmed to meet you..." Zeph spoke, putting a hand to the middle of his chest.

"And to kill you." He added, pointing his finger at me as an icicle was lifted from the ground. I gasped softly as I quickly rolled to the side as the icicle was thrown to my spot. I got up quickly as I ran toward Zeph with my lasso in hand. I jumped into the air with my lasso being prepared to be tied around him until a hand was on my waist. "Patience and planning, Liz." The words spoke as I looked up.

ExplodingTNT used his cape to block me as an icicle melted on his flaming sword. "I, uh, thank you, I guess." I stuttered out, a blush high on my cheeks. I could hear two weapons clash together as Zeph used his icicles to fight against ExplodingTNT. "Hey, Liz, do me a favor and don't do lovey-dovey eyes at TNT A.K.A someone we don't know if we trust!" Failboat spoke, running to my side. "Is someone jealous?" I teased followed by a small chuckle. I felt his hand hitting my hand as I rubbed the spot afterward. "No! Just focus on the battle at hand!" Failboat exclaimed, his face flustered as he summoned his water spears.

ExplodingTNT landed between us as he panted slightly. "Even the fire element couldn't go against me! How hilarious! How weak!" Zeph teased, putting a hand on his mouth as he laughed. "What now, Liz?" The words asked as TNT looked at me. "Wait, what?" I asked, slightly taken back by the question. "Well, you are the leader." Crystal spoke as she sweated. Have I really forgotten I am still the leader of them? I slightly facepalmed myself as I looked over at Zeph and sighed.

"Zeph, I'm not sure who you are! What you want! Or whatever! But, mark my words, your blood will be soaked among this battlefield!" I yelled, spinning my lasso around. My electric rope got a hold of an icicle and as soon as I could see the look of confusion on Zeph's face, I smirked. I quickly threw the icicle at him and he was thrown far back. "Quick! Put a barrier up!" I exclaimed and Crystal used her Earth powers to make a force field of vines. "So, what's the plan, Liz?" The words asked once again. I looked down as I clasped my hands together.

"I think I have an idea or two." I replied, looking up with a smirk.
