Grian:
I stared the zombie woman as she twirled her sword in her hands. Cleo waved her hand as Aqua shoved Tango and the other Impulse into the room. Tango had a cut underneath his eye.
" You boys thought that we wouldn't find you, hmmm?" Cleo mused as she ran her skeletal finger down her metal sword. TFC crossed his arms as he stood protectively in front of Joe and me. The elder hermit clenched his teeth as he fixed his glasses. Wels stood in front of Impulse with his sword out.
Wels snarled as some magic in his free hand flared up. Cleo smirked as she raised her sword, " You actually want to fight Mr. Uncorn? " she questioned with a clicked of her tongue. I looked at Wels as his eyes widened; the magic coursed out of his pupils as he snarled.
Impulse looked at him, " Wels, don't lash out... Take a deep brea-" it was too late. We watched as Wels charged forward.
CLANG!
Metal clashed against metal. My skin crawled as I watched the two exchange blow after blow. The doorway opened as the wattpadders into the building. Aqua, Fantasy, and some others I didn't recognize. I looked behind the group and noticed a very injured Mighty being held by Wither.
The wattpadders charged towards us as I ducked out of the water of a blast of water from Aqua. The siren hissed as she took out a dagger and tried to strike me. I kept jumping the ducking out of the way.
Duck....!
Duck.......!
Lean back!
JUMP!
The pattern continued as I kept moving backwards. I can't even fight currently do to my arm, so I guess I'm kind of stuck in this dodging phase. I glanced towards Impulse as he managed to knock Fantasy unconscious with the bottom of his sword.
" Impulse!" I shouted as both Impulses looked at me. I motioned towards the one that was fighting Fantasy causing the other to nod, " Untie Tango and your other self!" I mouthed as Impulse nodded. The American hurried over to the two tied up pirates and untied them. Tango nodded as his hands lit up with fire, " That's do this." he grinned as he charged into battle with Aqua.
Tango and other Impulse started to distract the wattpadders and lead them all outside. I slammed the door shut and through down the barricade. I looked out the window towards Tango and Impulse. The captain looked at me and smiled, " Get home safe." he mouthed as he joyously laughed and ran down the hill.
I looked over at where Wither and Mighty were. Wither looked at us with a slightly angry look, " I know you guys aren't from this world," the halfhel spoke as his lizard tail shook, " but you caused lady Cleo a lot of grief with your stupidity." he hissed as he held Mighty. The wolftiger hybrid whined and slowly started to shift into a fuzzy wolftiger.
" What happened to Mighty?" Impulse questioned as he stood at the other window. Witherfrowned, " I truly shouldn't tell you, but Mighty has been like this for a while... There's.... well... you guys wouldn't understand.... " he sighed as Mighty whined again and continued to shift until she was a palm sized puppy.
Wither scratched Mighty's chin and gave us one last stare, " You guys just make sure that Cleo doesn't get hurt... A lot of us have disappeared recently." he muttered as he scratched Mighty underneath her chin. Mighty let out a weak purr against Wither as he walked down the hill and followed the others.
I looked back towards Wels and Cleo. Wels's eyes were still glowing as he dodged Cleo's blade. Cleo snorted as her face was cut. I frowned as Impulse and I joined the fray. Cleo looked at the three of us, " Now, this isn't fair now is it?" she questioned as Wels growled.
Joe clenched his fists, " Wels! You must calm down!" he shouted in a strained voice. Wels howled as he avoided the slashes from Cleo's sword. I hurried over to Joe's side, " What's going to happen to him?" I questioned. The taller hermit looked down at me, " Ah don't see it that often, but when Wels gets absurdly hostile, he becomes filled with some unknown dark and light magic." he told me.
I looked at my still hurting arm. If I had use of it, I could join the fight and keep Wels from using all his magic. I looked at Doc as he finished bandaging Mini's shoulder. My attention then turned towards Zee and Python as the man continued to type on the machine.
Joe hurried over to the unconscious Fantasy's side and helped her up. Cleo yelled unknown words and charged towards Joe. The zombie slashed Joe's face causing him to fall over. He whimpered as Impulse and I hurried over to help him up.
Cleo picked up Fantasy's body and growled at us. She didn't say anything as she burst through the closed door and left us. I narrowed my eyes behind my glasses, " Jerk." I growled as Joe looked at me. Joe patted my shoulder, " She's just protecting her crew." he told me as I shook my head, " She hurt you, TFC, and Python!" I told him as Joe nodded.
Joe motioned over to Wels as he dropped to his knees and breathed heavily. He crossed his arms and whimpered. Joe helped him up and hugged the other American, " Just breathe with me Wels." he pulled back and put his hands on Wels's shoulders. The magic that flowed from Wels's eyes slowly vanished as he lowered his head, " I.... I want to go home." he croaked out as he put his head in his hands. Impulse pulled him into a hug, " I know.... We're going home soon." he mumbled as Wels weakly leaned against him.
I looked over at Zee and Python. Zee finished typing, " I did it..... Is Mini healed?" he questioned as Doc nodded. Zee hurried over to Mini's side and hugged him. TFC walked over to the machine and nodded at it. A weird buzzing sound began to rumble the ground as a portal opened up in the center of the observatory.
My whole body jumped as I looked into the portal. Mumbo and Iskall stood on the other side. My architechs looked out and laughed. I looked at the others, " The portal won't be open for long! GO!" TFC shouted as he read the monitors.
Our whole group took one last look at Mini and Zee as we all ran through the portal. I looked at Mini and Zee, " I'm sorry for what the me from this world did to you." I told them as I hopped through the portal. TFC was the last one through as the portal to the pirate world closed.
I looked up at Mumbo and Iskall. My eyes watered as the two hurried over to me. Mumbo looked at my arm, " Oh... Thank goodness all of you are still alive!" he gasped as he looked at all of us. TFC looked around, " Where's X and Void?" he questioned. Mumbo froze up as Iskall looked down and shuffled his feet.
" They got sucked through the portal. Mumbo, myself, and Mighty came here to check it out." Iskall explained. TFC narrowed his eyes, " Where's Mighty...?" he sighed as he unhappily rubbed the bridge of his nose. Iskall walked into the hall and brought out a kennel, " Should I open it?" he questioned as TFC shook his head. The older hermit looked into the kennel. I did the same and saw a curled up Mighty cub sleeping as if nothing was wrong.
TFC looked at all of us, " Doc and Iskall, stay here with me. Everyone else, go home to your bases. Especially you two." he motioned towards Wels and I. I looked at Wels as he put his head tiredly on Joe's shoulder.
We all nodded at each other. Iskall gave me one last hug after he passed Mighty over to Python. The snake nodded, " I'll come with you two." he motioned towards me and Mumbo. We all headed upstairs and each took off into the sky. Due to my injury still being present, Mumbo carried me back to my base.
I breathed quietly.
A sudden wave of exhaustion washed over me. My gut spun around as I yawned in Mumbo's warm arms. Everything was sore now as I yawned again.
I slowly started to close my eyes as I welcomed an actual good sleep. I was home now, and I had my friends to keep me safe still. Mumbo let out a small chuckle as we slowly started to descend...
" Sleep well Gree. You and the others deserve it..."
