Grian:
Stupid arm...
Stupid me...
Bloody hell why do I always have to be hurt?
My leg was fully healed by now, but my arm wasn't doing any better. Heck, I can't even feel the stupid thing now. I tiredly opened my eyes and tightened the blanket that was now around me.
As much as I wanted to stretch out, I was honestly still cold from the ocean water that Doc and I splashed into earlier. I poked my head out from under the blanket and tiredly looked around. My glasses were resting on the small table next to the cot, Doc was curled up on the ground, Impulse was laying against Wels, and Wels had his back against the wall. The three of them were also fast asleep.
Well, Impulse proved to not be awake because he opened his eye at me. The hermit looked at me and yawned, " Well, it's nice to see that you're conscious." he smirked at me. I rolled my eyes at him and put my groggily reached for my glasses. My head pounded like a cannonball crashed into it.
Impulse leaned forward and passed my glasses over to me. I carefully put them on and looked around. My memory was still fuzzy as I looked around the small room that I was in now. Impulse explained how we all ended up here in this room particular.
" So.... You believe that your counter part from the swap world, and our counterparts from this world's 'disappearance' are connected?" Impulse questioned in a whisper. I stared at him, " I don't think that my counterpart disappeared, but I do think that...." my head continued to hurt, " Well.... I don't know what to think....." I mumbled as I lowered my head into the pillow.
I tapped my fingers against my freshly bandaged arm. Impulse crossed his arms over his chest, " Well, even if you don't know what to think right now, you have the bright idea... The disappearances could be connected, but we can worry about that once we fight Python, Joe, and TFC and get home." he told me with a shake of his head.
My hand twitched as I nodded at him, " Alright..." I mumbled as I hugged at my blanket. The blanket, as far as I know, came from Wels's gear. Impulse and I decided to mumble to each other until Wels and Doc woke up from their sleep.
Doc redid my bandages and resew up my arm from my rather restless sleep. Impulse's hand had started to get better due to how he recently drank a health potion while we were waiting for Doc and Wels. Impulse unfortunately still couldn't move his individual digits without grasping his wrist in pain.
Impulse had me drink some of the potion as well, and it did work. The only downside is that I was already more hurt, so not much changed to my injuries besides that I was more awake and aware of my surroundings.
I stood up and stretched my legs out. I bended my bruises leg and smirked at it, " Ah, health potions... They really help out the bruises." I mused as I bounced from leg to leg. Doc shook his head as he attached his arm.
The four of us finished packing away the medical supplies and headed out towards where TFC, Joe, and Python ended up.
(( About an hour of walking later brought to you by Grian tiredly singing sea shanties))
Doc put his croc claw on my head, " Grian, stop singing." he snorted as he scratched at his tooth. I looked up at him, " As long as you stop eating birds." I raised my eyebrow at him. Doc rolled his eyes, " It is not my fault that I'm hungry." he told me.
Wels rolled his eyes, " I literally offered to give you my steak. I have a lot of them." he shook his head as he bit into the cow meat. Doc stuck his tongue out, " I went through a change in species Wels... When that happens, you tend to have to be more aggressive in your hunger...." he snorted.
The three of us shook our heads as Wels cut our way through the dense jungle that came in our path. Wels eventually stopped and put his hand up, and the three of us stopped behind him. The knight pointed a head of him towards a group of woman and a man.
My eyes widened as I noticed three tied up people, TFC, Python, and Joe respectively, tied up to a palm tree near the growing waves. One of the waves rose high enough to smack Joe's face. I narrowed my eyes and realized that Joe didn't have his glasses.
The four of us looked at each other. Doc narrowed his eyes, " They look almost like the wattpadders, Cleo, and Wither....... Hell, even Mighty is there." he lowered his shoulders. I raised my head slightly.
Mighty was in fact there and clearly panicking. Cleo grabbed the one legged hybrid and shook her, " Get a hold of yourself Mighty. You've been anxious and sleepless ever since you got that weird note in a bottle." the zombie pirate frowned.
Mighty's ears twitched, " I know it's a bloody weird note, and I got the right to be anxious Miss Cleo. That idiotic Solidarity said it was an accident but still." she snorted. Cleo shook her head as the Aqua from this universe grabbed Mighty's hand. Cleo had the wattpadders bring Mighty back to town, and we thankfully weren't seen when the group left.
This just left Cleo with our friends.
Cleo put her hand on Joe's chin and raised his head to look at her. Joe was breathing heavily as he kept his eyes closed. Cleo let Joe's head drop as he gagged up salty sea water. TFC and Python were struggling in their binds. Python had his muzzle bounded.
" You three look exactly like the old man and his tradesmen... I don't know why you're here, but Mighty says that there are more of you." Cleo narrowed her eyes. Python made muffled noises as he tried to force his mouth open.
Cleo shook her head as she crossed her arms. She mumbled to herself as Doc lowered his head. He took out a crossbow and loaded it with an odd rocket. The crocodile stood up and fired the dart into Cleo. The zombie gasped and turned around.
" My crew will hear about this." Cleo hissed as she swayed slightly. Wels hurried out and grabbed a hold of the pirate captain before she hit the ground. After untying TFC, Wels decided to use the rope and tie Cleo up to the post instead.
TFC untied Joe and picked him up. He looked at us tiredly, " Joe took in a lot of water. Python and I were close enough to the land, so we thankfully got 'em here." he looked down at Joe. Python's tongue flickered as he tore the rope off of his snout.
" That was when Cleo and the wattpadders of this world nabbed us as prisoners... Cleo had the idea to see what we knew about Tango's crew before Mighty showed up in a panic." Python's tail twitched angrily.
Joe twitched slightly as he put his head lazily on TFC's shoulder. TFC looked at us, " We need to get him into a town. He'll be fine but be unconscious for a while." he fixed his glasses. This led to our little group hurrying back to the inn where Tango was waiting for us.
Tango told us to get on the ship quickly. He seemed extremely twitchy as his tail curled around his leg. Soon enough, we were sailing towards some unknown island.
