"What do you mean DB's gone?" Skye half yelled, half asked. Scout grabbed her by the shoulders, holding her in place.
"Woah, woah, Skye! Calm down! We're not completely sure he's dead, but he must've fallen out of the helicopter when we were being tailed by mavericks. We were flying in low altitude, so he shouldn't have been hurt that bad," Scout said in a solid voice. Skye gritted her teeth and gave it her all to calm herself down. She saw him get onto the helicopter after the prison was secured. He was Darkblur, he wouldn't be dying from some pathetic fall off a helicopter!
"We're assembling a search team along with the Wardog division to get back into the search. Get ready!" Scout said as he readied to go out almost as soon as he said what he said.
"Do you think he'll be alright?" Molly asked Scout.
"It's Darkblur, of course he'll be alright. One way or another, we're getting him back."
#####
"Dammit!" Darkblur threw his communication device at the ground. He grunted as he limped out of the shade of a small rock cliff. Just his luck, electronic disturbance. Kurois took surrounding of where he was, he must've gotten knocked out on the fall last night. The only thing he found was a pistol, which was strapped to his thy. Through clenched teeth, he did a damage report on himself.
'Twisted and sprained left ankle, few cuts, a huge bruise on my head. Perfect.' Kurois looked through his blue colored eye slid HUD. The blue letterings on it were nothing but static. He grunted and reached for a beam knife on his left shoulder. He looked at the hilt, noticing the small compass on the bottom. He found his bearings, and started moving by grabbing a sturdy branch off the ground to use as support. The branch in one hand, a loaded handgun in the other. He grunted at every move, the pain searing through his ankle. A normal person wouldn't even be able to move, but Kurois fought through.
Luckily for him, he didn't have to fight long.
"Hey look! It's another mister!" Kurois gasped and hid behind a tree.
"Does he have a gun too? I wanna see!" Kurois poked his head out of the tree, surprised to see two little kids walking towards him. They were dressed completely in green, matching the green foliage all around. Their silver hair and gold eyes were the only things that Kurois could make out.
"Hey, this guy looks like the other normal guys! He's not wearing a monster costume!"
"A… monster costume?" Darkblur asked aloud. The two kids were equally surprised to hear him talk back. But the oldest of the two replied back,
"Yeah! Two people were covered in like, leaves and stuff! It was pretty cool!" Darkblur's attention perked up at that. A sniper's clothing.
"Hey, can you two take me to the monster costume guys?" The kids gave off a huge grin and nodded.
"Yeah! Let's go!" They run off before Kurois could say anything. After a second of a blank stare, he yelled out to them,
"Hey! Hey! Wait!" Kurois tried to go as fast as he could, but he ended up falling on his bad ankle.
"YOW!"
#####
The ground sank through the mud as the boots of the Neolian soldiers trudged through. The red eyed, blue haired soldier silently led the way while the other three cautiously followed, as if expecting him to turn around and open fire to his own team. His hostility was present just from the way he didn't even bother to move quietly. In fact, it looked like he was trying to get them noticed.
"Hey, wanna quiet down?" The blonde snorted. His rifle sling was hung around his neck.
"Shut up." That was the only reply he got.
"Sir, what should we do bout him?" The brown haired boy mouthed to him.
"I don't know," the capped man mouthed back. The blue haired boy stopped. He took a chance to look at his surroundings, especially at the valley like area they were in. Rocks covered in moss were the only things they could see for a couple yards. He stops and takes a seat on a rock, taking his shoe and emptying the pebble that got in. The blonde haired guy gritted his teeth.
"Come on! Are you seriously going to act like this the entire trip back?" The blonde asked.
"I thought you wanted it to be quiet. And I'm not going back," The red eyes peered through the blonde's.
"And why is that?" The capped captain asked. Before the blue haired man could answer, a silver haired, gold eyed girl in a red dress was leaning forward and staring into the eyes of the brown eyed boy, who was sitting down too. She didn't make any noise in coming, and the only action she took was a blink when the boy fell back.
"Where the hell did you come from?" The boy asked, raising his sub machine gun. The girl giggled, squatting down and putting a finger in the barrel. By this time, everybody was staring at both of them.
"Hey! You've got to watch out!" She exclaimed as she moved the gun up and down with her finger.
"Don't move!" the capped man commanded; his gun at his hip.
"This place is called snake valley!" the girl said, completely oblivious to the threat. The brown eyed boy narrowed his eyes, but then turned to his right shoulder at the sound of a hiss, and screamed at the top of his lungs as he batted the leathery reptile away. The other three jumped; startled at the hiss and his scream, and then opened fire on where the snake was dropped off. The brown eyed boy joined with his teammates, firing their automatics and making the rock look like gray and green Swiss cheese. The gunfire stopped, and hollow clicks followed after. The four looked at their guns, then at each other, then at the brown haired boy.
"I hate snakes!" The boy yelled out. The four then realized their mistake in opening fire, their weapons were now empty. The only things that were of use to them now were their grenades and the single pistol from the capped man. After a session of watching, the girl popped up from behind a rock.
"WOAH! I never heard anything make noise like that, EVER!" The girl exclaimed. She had an almost goofy smile and looked from one Neolian face to the other.
"Now, are you guys going to stay here and get bit? Getting bit is awful! I'm going back to my village, see ya!" She said as she skipped away nonchalantly. The blonde stared at her with a blank stare, before reaching for the capped man's pistol and bringing it out.
"You crazy bitch!" It took the two others to hold him back, and it took the red eyed man to knock the gun from his hand.
"That's enough! She's not a threat, that's for sure," The red eyed man said, speaking more than he ever spoke before.
"And how the hell do you know that? Huh?" The blonde spat. The blonde slowly calmed down. There he was, scared out of his wits from just a stupid snake, and that girl was just prancing along?
"Listen to me. We pointed guns at her and yelled and she didn't even blink. She even put her goddamn finger in the barrel!" The capped man exclaimed. "Where ever she's going, I doubt there's any army there. Let's follow her, eat up, spend the night, then leave. Sounds good?" The capped man said as he took charge. The blonde shook him and the brunette off.
"Fucking snakes, fucking girl, fuck… everything!" The blonde said as he picked up his empty weapon and started to walk with the others. The red eyed man stayed back, watching the others leave.
"Hey, are you coming?" The brunette asked. The red eyed man blinked, and then looked down at the rock he used to sit on. A snake slithered from below it, and that's when he sighed and decided to follow.
#####
"Right over here mister!" The two kids ran through a clearing in the woods; not turning back to see if Darkblur was following short. Kurois growled at how quick the little kids were, but stared with his mouth open at the sight he saw. A giant tree in the middle was sheltering a bird's nest and held a swing that was occupied by little kids. Around the tree was the entire village, all made of different materials put together. Some buildings were formed completely of wood, and some were formed completely of metal and bricks, but the buildings didn't seem to matter to the silver haired golden eyed group of people.
The villagers were all occupied with something; making lanterns or fixing light bulbs, welding pieces of metal together, or even cooking for the upcoming dinner. The sun was slowly setting, and the sky grew slightly dimmer from before. The people stared at the newcomer, stopping what they were doing and taking a glance at the soldier. Curious golden eyes glanced at his steel toe boots to his grey armor, to the HUD slide over his eye.
"Village Chief! Look! We brought another one!" The kids Kurois saw from before were taking the hands of a man and bringing him towards him. The village chief's long white hair and wrinkled face along with his hunched back and cane gave Kurois the conclusion that he was close to eighty.
"Ah, I see. Let us treat this new guest like the others then. Michael!" The village chief rasped. A man with glasses came about, wearing tan khaki pants and a brown jacket over a white t-shirt. In his hands was a large book.
"Yes village chief?"
"Show this man where to go to find the hospital."
"Yes village chief," Michael said as he grabbed Kurois's elbow. "Come, the hospital area should be at the far end of the village, it shouldn't take too long. I was on my way there anyway." Kurois was a bit shaky on the idea of him holding his elbow, but with idea of medical attention, he was more than willing. The two walked through the village, getting the glances of the entire village. The Raptor looked forward, trying not to meet the awkward glances that came his way.
"Here we are," Michael said as he opened the door to the hospital. Upon instinct, Kurois raised his pistol at a blonde on a bed with a pistol in his hand. The others immediately pulled out their concealed weapons, pointing them towards the sudden intruder.
"Woah buddy, mistook you for a Neolian for a second there!" Howey grinned. His cigarette was centimeters away from burning out, but he dragged it until the last burned out. Kurois lowered his pistol, sighing.
"Scared me Kurois," Jonsey managed to chuckle. Kurois blinked, then looked at the sleeping form of Ash Ketchum on the next bed. Already, another bed was going to be set up for Kurois for his medical needs.
"Go on young man, sit down first before playing with guns," Michael waved his hand. Darkblur stayed silent, giving him a half glare, half puzzled look. He laid down, showing no expression as he lifted himself and sat down. Right as he did so, a young lady walked in. She was slightly older than the one that was previously there with the others, but she looked the same physically with the same hair and eye color. She was taller, but her hair was tied up in a ponytail, despite her older appearance.
"Can you please take your clothes off?" Kurois blinked, looking around to see if she was talking to anybody else. The other soldiers were smugly grinning at him; nope.
"Um… Why?"
"Well, it is a hospital, and those clothes look very dirty," The woman said. She reached for a folded bundle of white clothes from a closet next to her. Darkblur sighed in relief, he thought he was about to get some other treatment besides a medical one. Under the covers, Kurois switched his clothes with the white clothing, politely handing his dirty clothes to the woman. She smiled and she walked away with his clothes, wherever they may be.
What he didn't hand to her was a small pouch and his 9 mil pistol. It was a strange pouch for a military man, having a purple like pouch. He reached in, taking out a pair of purple fingerless gloves. He slipped them on; taking out a glasses case afterwards. He pressed a button, causing the top (The long part) to swivel in a counterclockwise motion, revealing the glasses inside. He pulled them out, slipping on the rectangular glasses. Jonsey widened his eyes, this was the first time he ever saw him like this. If he didn't know he was a soldier, he would've mistaken him for a regular high school student.
Kurois caught the others staring, who quickly looked away from his icy eyes turning to meet theirs. He sighed, and put his hands behind his head as he tried to relax, but he couldn't because of how vulnerable they were…
#####
"Teacher Michael!" The girl exclaimed as she ran through the forest. It was getting dark now and the Neolian soldiers were anxiously moving through with their empty weapons. Michael was present at the opening of a clearing, smiling as he saw the girl. The little kids around him looked his way too, their almost goofy happy expressions meeting the frightened Neolian faces.
"Why hello-" Michael's smile quickly disappeared as his hands shot up in the sky immediately. The Neolians pointed their weapons at him, gulping. If he knew what these guns were, does that mean that the village they're going to knows about them too?
"Teacher Michael, why are your hands up like that" The girl cocked her head to the side.
"Just follow and do what I do, and don't talk too much." The kids around him put their hands up, along with the girl. Five minutes through, the group of them were getting bored and the kids started to sing a nursery rhyme.
"Kids, let's keep quiet now," The capped Neolian officer said in a soft, but commanding voice. The kids looked at him and stopped… but they continued about a minute later, not even bothering to put up their hands. Their voices easily cut through the woods, and the anxious levels of the Neolian soldiers rose. Not only that, but the kids were now running in circles around them. The red eyed Neolian exhaled, this was going to be a long trip…
#####
"Maaan! This food is just awesome! I never thought a meatless meal like this could taste so good!" Todd exclaimed as he sat on a foldable chair outside. The Aeonians were sitting around a large square table along with the villagers, talking amongst them in the fire-lit night. The table was very low, so everybody was sitting on the grass. Next to the Aeonian soldiers were their weapons, ready to fight back if ever necessary. Their original under garments for their military uniforms were on them, all nice and clean already. Kurois didn't join them, not that he could move anyway.
"So, there's a war?" A villager asked Ash.
"Yeah!" He said in between spoonfuls of potato soup.
"Who is it this time? Is it the people from the East?" A man asked. Most of them were focusing on Ash, especially his strange eating habits.
"Well, no. It's from the North."
"The north? There's nothing north besides Aeolian land!" A woman remarked.
"Wait… Aeolian? Not Aeonian?" Ash asked.
"You're an outsider and you don't even know the name of your country? My, my," The woman answered.
"Hey look, here comes Mikey with the kids," A man said. Everybody turned towards the clearing of the woods, staring intently at a group of singing kids run past, and then a man with his hands up walking right after. The girl skipped past, not really paying attention to anything that was happening.
"Hello everyone, I've brought some guests," Michael said, his hands lowering.
"Guests?" Todd frowned. Michael stepped aside to reveal the dark blue uniformed Neolians that were standing in the clearing. For a couple seconds, no body moved or made a sound, only the widening of eyes of the opposing soldiers as they met eyes. The capped officer made the first move, pushing Michael aside as he aimed his rifle towards Jonsey.
"Son of a bitch! I'll kill you!" The Neolians yelled, as the Aeonians picked up their own weapons and pointed them at the Neolian soldiers as they got up. The bad thing was that the villagers that got up with them were in the firing line, so the opposing military men couldn't see each other, except through the gaps the villagers made.
"Get down! Get down!" Ash yelled as his sniper rifle was cocked and ready to fire at a blue haired soldier, who pointed his weapon back at him also. By this time, the villagers were asking what was going on, flinching as they heard the shouts of the soldiers.
"Get the kids out of here!" The blue haired Neolian yelled out as Michael took the kids and ran off to a building.
"Just calm down folks! Don't move a muscle!" Howey said as he held his sub-machine gun at his shoulder, aiming towards a youth soldier.
"Move! Mother fucker, Move!" The Blonde yelled out as he pushed somebody with the barrel of his gun. Now, it was the Neolians on one side of the table, the Aeonians on the other side of the table, and the villagers in between. More shouts were heard as the villagers finally calmed down. This was a stalemate, nobody could shoot anybody at the moment, and they couldn't bring themselves to.
"Sure, there's no army here! Nice job!" The brunette said with a panicked voice towards the capped officer.
"Hey! What's wrong? Why aren't you pulling the trigger?" The blue haired Neolian called out to Ash, who gritted his teeth and gathered up the nerve to reply,
"Why aren't you?"
"You're ready to fire, bring it on!" The blonde yelled out. The brunette slowly turned his head towards the blonde and said aloud,
"Hey, don't talk to tough; we don't have any bullets remember?" Unfortunately for him, everybody quieted down at that comment, and every one of his teammates turned away from their targets, lowered their guns, and gave the kid a glare of unbelief. The brunette seemed to shrink as he stood, if that was possible.
"Come on; let's not cause any trouble here. Put the gun down; let's settle this somewhere else," Jonsey said aloud.
"It's okay, we'll be alright," A villager said to Jonsey with a smile.
"Daniel," The village chief said his name in a scolding voice, but didn't raise it. Daniel's smile faded as he sighed. The capped officer slowly lowered his rifle, raising a hand as he let go of the barrel…
And then he turned to the blonde, reached onto his vest, and pulled out a grenade. The Aeonians grimaced, gritting their teeth even harder as they stared down the barrel of their guns.
"Listen. If any one of you ever tries to make a move, this whole area will be covered with corpses, you hear?" The capped officer yelled out loud. He threw down his rifle, holding the grenade in one hand as he held the pin with the other. His teammates did the same, all except the blue haired red eyed man, he reluctantly reached for the capped man's pistol and pointed it towards Ash.
"Son of a bitch," Todd swore as he adjusted his sub-machine gun. Seconds became minutes as they clenched their guns and their teeth, breathing hard as they kept each other in their sights. Ash's finger lightly squeezed the trigger until one of the villagers asked,
"Is that a potato?"
"No, I don't think so. It looks like a painted rock."
"If that's a potato, my wife eats four of those every day, I'm so sick of them!"
"I'm pretty sure it's a rock."
"SHUT UP!" The capped man yelled out, obviously annoyed.
"Do you know what this thing can do? If I use this, you're all goners! Put your hands up!" The officer yelled out.
"Where will we go?" A villager asked.
"Just do as he says folks," The blue haired man said quietly. The villagers did as they were told, slowly
"What's going on here?" Everybody tuned their heads to the opening of a bunch of bushes, meeting the puzzled face of a man with a walking stick and a makeshift backpack made out of sticks and rope. It must've been humorous for him to see, two sides of different uniformed men pointing sticks at each other, and a group of his village people sticking their hands up while standing on a table.
"Hey, get up there," The capped Neolian motioned with his hand. He looked at the villagers, then at the capped man.
"Hurry!"
"Yeah, these guys are pretty riled up."
"Just come over here before they start yelling even more, my ears hurt." The man slowly set his stuff down as he awkwardly stepped up onto the already crowded table.
"Hey, everybody-"
"Put your hands up first!"
"Why?"
"Just do it!" He immediately put his hands up, anxious to tell the news he had.
"Okay, okay. But guess what? While I was checking the bee-hives, I saw wild boars that rooted a path through our fields! Not just a couple, but at least a dozen!"
"Ah no! Last time, the wild boars ruined all our corn and we starved for the whole winter!"
"We can't starve for another winter!"
"Now, now, everybody, let's calm down and talk this over quietly," The village chief calmly stated.
"Let's calm down guys, I've got an idea!" Another villager said as he lowered his hands, "You grab the wild boar by the ear, then punch him three times in the eye! When he goes to all his friends, he'll tell them, 'Don't go near Rosetta guys! It's a terrible place!' I mean, what would you do if you got beat up and went to your friends?"
"I'd bring all my friends with me and beat up who ever beat me up!" Another villager criticized.
"Oh… well… we can't do that then, that's too many eyes to punch…" The villager with the suggestion's head was lowered as his idea was shot down immediately. The capped man's left eye twitched, and his hands gripped his grenade tighter. His voice started off low, and then increased as he went on.
"I have a grenade in my hand… and all you worry about is a couple of BOARS?"
A loud knock was heard as Kurois stumbled and fell on the ground as he tried to walk, only swearing at the pain he received from the fall. When he looked up, he was startled at the Neolian soldiers and the Aeolian soldiers having a stand off with the villagers.
"Now who the fuck is that?" The blonde asked. Kurois, knowing that he looked like a villager himself, decided to pick himself up as quickly as he could and stumbled back into the hospital area followed by another cuss.
"Hey, isn't that guy with them, or them?"
"I don't know, want to go ask him?"
"I think he's with the blue people."
"Now, now, everybody, let's not make assumptions."
"Sir… this village sure is weird," The brown haired boy told the capped man.
"Shut up dammit! Everybody, sit down on the table!" The officer yelled out. The villagers slowly sit down on the table, some even falling off the sides as they tried to sit down. Now, each opposing side could see each other clearer, and now their eyes met in a stare down through the night…
#####
The birds chirped in the fresh morning, flying by the people from last night. The soldiers had their weapons at their hips, massaging their shoulders from holding whatever they had in their hands for such a long time. The villagers in the middle were mostly asleep, slouched on one another as they struggled to stay on the table.
"Son of a bitch!"
"Son uva bitch!" Two kids were now running around the table, reciting what they heard the previous night. Completely oblivious of what they were saying, they kept saying it as they circled the entire group of people.
"Mother fucker!"
"Motha fucka!"
"Son ova bitch!"
"Son of a bitch!" The soldiers were slightly slouching over, but their weapons and their hands were still steady, ready to pull the trigger, or pull the pin. They've been staying there for such a long time, but then one of the kids stood up from the sitting group. He must've gotten dragged along with the other villagers.
"Hey! Sit down!" The blonde yelled out.
"Sir, I've gotta go to the outhouse," The kid was too startled to move.
"It's all right, go ahead. Don't pee your pants," the village chief said, letting the boy go. The boy leapt off, heading towards wherever he needed to go. Right after, the bee-hive man stood up.
"Sir, please, sit down!" Ash said as he motioned with his rifle.
"Gonna go check up on the bee hives, you stay here okay?" The man said as he picked up his stuff and went to wherever he needed to go. The soldiers looked at each other, and then sighed as slowly, the villagers stood up one by one.
#####
Rain drops splattered on the soldier's heads and their shoulders, running down their faces and necks to soak their clothing and their weaponry. The eight soldiers were almost slumped an invisible object, struggling to keep their focus.
"How the hell did the weather change so fast?" Todd groaned. No one replied, they were either too tired or they just didn't want to. The villagers that used to be on the now empty table were now sitting or standing under shelter from the rain, laughing and talking together as the eight just stood there. However, one villager was enjoying the rain, dancing in it as she sighed happily. It was the girl in the red dress, now with a gray sweater over it. She didn't even seemed fazed by the giant sized rain drops, she actually smiled as she sat down on the table in between the soldiers and closed her eyes as she sighed once again into the sky. Her smile turned to a grin, but her grin turned into a look of curiosity as she looked at each of the soldiers.
She stared at Ash's finger on the trigger, tightening on it as the raindrops landed on his head and his weapon. And then she turned to see the Blonde's finger tighten around the pin on his grenade.
The blonde was panting hard, trying to keep warm, and he stopped holding the pin as he rubbed his arms and closed his eyes, blinking away all the rain. Once he opened them again, the first thing he saw was the girl. His first instinct was to back away, but he stopped as she pulled out a dry handkerchief, wiping away the rain from his face like a mother would do to her son. He blinked, his mouth curving upwards in the slightest bit. He was so off guard that he didn't even notice what the girl did next. She ran off, skipping until she was at a formidable distance. She then turned around with a strange piece of metal twirling around her finger.
"Hey look! A ring!" She yelled before she took off again. The blonde blinked twice, then looked down at his grenade, then back up at the running girl, and then his glance shot to his hand. Everybody now was yelling out in horror as the safety pin was off, and the only thing left was the clip that kept the fuse from igniting. Even Ash, who was practically asleep on his feet, widened his eyes and screamed in terror.
"You crazy fool!" Howey yelled out, his gun now against his shoulder again.
"You can't even take care of a grenade?" The red eyed Neolian yelled out.
"Hold it firmly! HOLD IT FIRMLY!" The officer said. The villagers were staring at the blonde, laughing inwardly at how the blonde was shaking with a painted rock (Or a potato) in his hands. The blonde, through all this, was shaking as his hands were stiffened in a death grip around the explosive…
#####
The thick haze surrounded the eight, the heat making it almost unbearable for them. Their sweat glistened on their faces and their necks, their clothing or armor stained from their perspiration. However, the eight were worse than before, and their guns were barely even pointing at the other person. Their grenades were almost to their sides. All except the blonde's hands, which were still firmly gripping the round explosive. The bad thing was that the blonde was nearly asleep on his feet as he struggled to right the heaviness in his eyelids.
"Now kids, listen to teacher Michael. You all want to grow up as smart as him right?"
"Yes!" The kids all said.
"Now, this letter is a T. Repeat it, T."
"T!" The kids replied. By this time, the soldiers were slouched over, some were even snoring. The blonde's eyes closed, and then his muscles relaxed and his hand let go of the grenade. The explosive's clip fell off the grenade, and the only thing left was the round explosive, rolling under the table and towards the left side of the Aeolians, towards a shack. The soldiers all wake up from the sound, and widen their eyes.
"GET DOWN!"
"TAKE COVER!" The soldiers all scream as they take a couple steps before diving away from the explosive. Ash threw his sniper on the ground, diving towards the grenade, but the red eyed Neolian was doing the same. Their heads collided in mid air, making them fall short of where their planned dive was going to be. The two look up at the grenade before quickly pushing their heads down behind their arms, ready for the explosion…
Which never came. A villager even walked over the two as he went to grab something from the table earlier that he forgot, dusting off the object as he whistled while he walked back. Ash and the red eyed Neolian slowly grunt as they look up at the grenade, expecting it to go off at any moment, but Ash then quickly grabbed the grenade and went stayed there. The red eyed Neolian stepped back next to his team mates, who moved slowly one side to the left. The Aeolians stepped next to Ash, moving one step to the left.
"Hey… you think this is a dud too?" The brown haired boy asked the officer, who shot him the dirtiest look he had ever seen. Ash stared at the red eyed Neolian, watching as a trail of blood tricked from his nose. Ash couldn't help but laugh, and threw the grenade behind him leisurely. The grenade sounded like it hit a wooden object, and the sound got fainter and fainter as it traveled to wherever…
And then that's when the soldiers stumbled from the loud explosion that rocked the village. It felt like it was in slow motion for everybody there; the shack behind the Aeolians blew sky high, blowing up food into the air in the process. Corn seeds flew up protected from the explosion. But as they stayed up there, their seed forms popped and turned into a white substance. The snow like substances slowly fluttered back down to the earth. The villagers were marveling at the sight of snow falling down at them in the hottest part of the day.
The village chief blinked as popcorn hit his face, bouncing off along with the other popcorn. The girl in the red dress was jumping up and down happily along with the other kids. Even Kurois came out to blink open mouthed at the sight. This sight made the blonde laugh, but his laugh was cut short as popcorn softly hit his face. His eyes slowly closed, and his head tilted forward. Ash's eyes closed as his head was tilted back with his mouth open, catching some of the popcorn there. Jonsey tilted his head to the side, his eyes almost shut as he slowly blinks. The red eyed Neolian slowly blinked twice, watching the villagers happily marvel at the snowing popcorn, and a slight smirk was put on his face as his world went black as he hunched over with pieces of popcorn stuck in his hair.
