Adam continued with Kono by his side until finally they met the trunk of the tree. "Okay Steve, now what was it?" He asked with his heart racing, a pistol in his pocket, a medical kit in her hand.
"Kono hold onto him from behind, tight!" They followed his instructions and she gripped tightly onto Adam's back. "Now use the vine and jump down the trunk. Step on branches and make sure that the vine's secure." He explained before Adam gave a nod and held the vine with a strong grip as he prepared to jump.
"Okay Kono, ready?" Adam smiled to his beauty as he waddled slightly, readying his feet. Kono gave her worrying reply and before they knew it, they were flying down the tree, loosening then tightening his grip to slide down the vine. He hopped onto thick branches for balance and to catch their breathes and before they knew it, their sore bodies had reached the bottom, safely in a clean open space. Adam reached for the pistol and gave two quick shots.
"They did it." Steve smirked to his disbelieving partner and satisfied cousin.
"You're lucky they didn't fall!" Danny screamed, echoing throughout the forest.
Steve arched a smile before calling to Chin. "Do you think you can do the same?" Steve looked to Chin's freshly bandaged leg "It must hurt..." Steve questioned concerned not bothering to hide it.
Chin smiled for his ease. "Don't worry Commander, I may take more time, but I can do it." He explained as McGarrett sighed with worry as to whether he should let Chin go, but there wasn't another way.
"Okay, just don't fall." Steve smirked as Chin smiled just before he held onto his selected thick vine and made his way to the trunk. "Danno?" The ex-SEAL looked back and saw his partner tapping his foot impatiently. Steve rolled his eyes and didn't bother with why because he knew as soon as he saw him the lecture would begin.
"Really McGarrett? A man with a bad leg!? You're letting him do this extreme!?" Danny begun as he threatened to move (stomp) to Steven's face when suddenly the plane began to tip.
"Danny get down here NOW!" Steve ordered as he grabbed onto a thick vine nearby. Danny ran limping and held onto the vine Steve had offered out. Danny leapt out the plane just before it fell and
missed.
He began to fall beside the plane but it wasn't long before his Commander had reached out and successfully captured Danny's hand. Steve roared in pain as his broken bone cracked further and the blood from his shoulder seeped through his bandage. The veins on his forehead were shown as his eyes were popping from his skull from the impossible amount of effort.
Steve squeezed his eyes shut as he lift Danny closer to the vine. His body was on fire and nausea was building in his twisted stomach. His head was pounding from his pain tolerance being broken double time.
Danny hung reaching desperately for the vine which swung weakly in large circles. He was terrified. He nearly fell to his death but instead he sent torturous pain throughout his closest friend's body. A pain that didn't compare. He couldn't look at his partner's face, he knew that it would just hurt him. Instead the vine was his target.
Just before he could touch it, he felt the soft drips of crimson touch is forehead. His eyes widened with horror looking up at his heated, struggling to catch his breath, full of agony friend who just saved his life. Hopelessly trying to refocus, the fear ate him again. It froze his body just before the vine was in his grasp! Mentally slapping himself, he grabbed the vine tight and allowed Steve to relax his arm. Another cry came from McGarrett's mouth as he bent the worsened arm back to his chest. It took him a minute but he was only just beginning to get his breath back.
"Steve? You okay?" Danny asked out to him terrified for him.
After a moment of heart wrenching silence, Steve spoke "Fine, Danny... But... this vine won't hold both out weights." Steve had explained. By the time the plane had fallen and crashed, slightly ablaze and they had pulled themselves together, they were already in the sight of Kono and the others but were too preoccupied to notice.
"There aren't any others in sight." Danny said looking around.
"Okay..." McGarrett was short on breath as he spoke though he tried to make it less obvious. "We'll have to... be quick then... Get it.. Closer... to the trunk first..." He struggled as he began to swing the vine to the trunk. Danny joined in and in soft moments they were by the trunk and were slowly branch-hopping their way down
before snap!
They were nearly on the ground when the vine gave in. Steve and Danny fell down the few feet left, bruising their bodies and heads, causing Danny's minor concussion to take over and knock him out while Steve's face lay hidden in roots too big to be underground. Lights out.
