AN: The other chapter name is called: Leap of Faith

~~~~~

When I wake up, everything hurts. My legs, my arms, my body, my brain. It just hurts everywhere. I hear the groaning of a man and look around, I see Duncan. Sprawled out on the ground, surrounded by parts of his robotics, ship, and something else. I slowly get up and walk over, "Duncan..." I say softly, he looks up at me and slowly gets up. I can tell he's in pain. But knowing Duncan that wouldn't stop him. "Are you okay?" Is the first thing he says to me.

"Yeah....were are we?" He sighs and looks around, "I think were in MoonQuest. Come on, let's see if we can find anything..." he seems so desperate to find something from his old home. Anything. I start helping him and find a chest saying "Supplies Chest"

"Duncan! I found a supplies chest!" I yell, next thing I know he's right next to me, looking through the chest. He pulls out some purple armor and gives it to me. He puts on some teals looking armor, which suits him we'll. "You look quite handsome." I giggle. I think he blushes. But manges to make it go away by chuckling. "Yes. I know. Now let's hurry and grab as much as we can. Then we can scale that mountain to find somewhere to make a new base." I pale. Climb...that entire mountain?! Is he crazy?!?

I sighed in defeated as he was starting to already climb. I walked over and looked up at the mountain. "Duncan...is this a good idea?" He looked at me, and smiled that smile. A promising smile. "I won't let you fall. I'll be right here." He says. I sigh and begin to climb.

I looked down at Kim. She seemd faint. "Kim...? You okay?" I saw her gulp and look at me, "I-I-I hate h-heights..." She stuttered. I frowned and took her hand helping her to the top. Were we finally stopped. I looked at her and held her tight. "I'm sorry Kim...I wasn't thinking." She looked at me and smiled. "I promise to be more careful..." i said.

That's a promise I won't break. Not to her. And not to Ridge.

After a bit we camped out in a small cave just above a lake and some flat lands. I looked to Kim, sleeping softly. I would get to bed soon, But I needed to think. Okay Duncan...you have to swear on your life on this. Kim. That's all that matters. Well, at the moment. You need to be safe. And that small land will be the ticket. We can build a home. We can resume lessons. No one. Will find us. One more dangerous job before the real mission.

And with that thought I went to bed.

~~~~~~The Next Morning~~~~~

"Kim! Come on we gotta jump!!"

"NO! That is too reckless! We could die!!"

"I'll jump first! Then I'll catch you!"

"....."

"We gotta Kim..."

"Fine."

I took a deep breath, and ran off the cliff into the river below. I landed in water. Sure i was soaked, but now Kim would hopefully get the courage to jump. I looked up at her, and the next thing I know she's screaming and has jumped off. Just making it. I swam over to her.

"See? Not so bad." I joked. She laughed softly and we swam to shore. We got up on the small patch of land. We stayed silent for a few moments. Then I got up, and went over to a tree. And began to punch.

"Restart?" I asked looking at her. She grinned.

"Restart."
