The walk was long and tedious but they managed to cover a lot of ground.
"Uhh! I think my feet are about to fall off!" Basil moaned as he body was slugged forward.
"I think mine fell off a few miles back but I don't wanna turn around to go check!" Matt agreed. How was it that this place could be so huge but have nothing but huge mushrooms and rocks?
"There was got to be a better way to get around!" Matt complained.
"Until you find it, keep walking!" Basil told him. They both groaned. There wasn't much to look at anymore. They left behind the last mushroom tree what felt like ages ago and were now traveling on pure solid rock. Basil forced his eyes to look up at the huge storm cloud that never seemed to get any closer. That cloud must be huge if we're still not there yet.
"How can we have been walking forever and still not have gotten there by now!" Matt shouted at the sky. Basil had no idea on how to answer that question.
"Let's take a break." He suggested. Matt crashed on the rocky floor in complete agreement. Basil watched as lighting steaked down the bottom of the cloud.
"Who knows, maybe the people were looking for will come to us." Matt said still laying on the ground. It wasn't likely but still plausible. At this point he just wanted it to rain so he could have something to drink.
"Hey Basil you wouldn't have anything to eat on you would you? I left my lunch in my bag back in the time hallow." Matt asked.
"Not unless you are suddenly able to eat pocket lint." He lolled his head back just in time to see a huge what looked like an explosion. It was hard to tell how big it was with perception. Was that really small or really far away?
"Hey Matt did you see that?" Basil preposition himself so he face the direction of the explosion in a more comfortable way. Matt turned his head to see what he was looking at, then sighed,
"We're going to go check it out, aren't we?"
"Yep." Basil got up and turned around to see Matt grudgingly get up.
Johan watch helplessly as JB smashed his fist into the wall. I wonder if it's possible to break the wall. I wonder what would happen if you did.
"JB quit it! That's not doing anything productive!" There Katherine goes again sounding like Mom. JB pinched the bridge of his noise taking a deep breath.
"You're right, sorry. It's just this has been the worst day ever. But you're right, I have to fix this for Basil and to find Matt." He whipped the Elucidator.
"Ok let's see what we know. I was going through the time line when you guys showed up then Matt and Basil appeared. Place unknown, strange boss, lots more time travel, Henry the fifth, Basil got lost then died, Washington, Matt disappeared." JB muttered and the Elucidator made a bullet point list on the wall. "Argg! I feel we're right on the edge of figuring it out but I can't figure out what the missing piece is!" He growled grabbing his hair. Katherine put a hand on his arm, her way of trying to comfort him.
The strange explosion was a good motivator for them to get moving again. They were even moving faster than before! I wonder if that explosion involved any of the other Guardians.
"Hey Basil look!" Matt pointed to a small bump protruding from the flat. From this distance it was impossible to tell what it was. Whatever it was, was right under the edge of the storm cloud. Did the lighting strike something on the ground causing the explosion? Basil started into a quick jog, Matt tailing him. Before he knew it he could identify the object as a person laying on the ground.
"Matt hurry!" Basil broke into a run. The closer he got the more he could see. This person was laying on his back. His clothes dotted with dust and dirt. Whoever it was, was wearing a black jacket and plain red shirt with dark colored jeans with a silver chain hanging from the side. His hair was white but he was still a young teen like him. Basil skidded to a stop next to him to bend down to examine how badly he was hurt.
"Hey, are you alright!" Matt asked the person. He moaned the opened his eyes. He put a hand on his forehead as he began to sit up.
"Uh you might want to lay back down for a bit. Whatever hit you hit you hard." Basil suggested. The person glared at him.
"Pht! I don't need your help!" He pushed him away so he could stand up. Standing up he was roughly a half an inch shorter than Matt. Which still made him taller than him. His expression suddenly changed as he looked down at him. "Your one?" Then Basil understood what he was talking about. Basil nodded standing back up showing him the ring on his finger.
"Moon." They stared at each other for a second.
"Storm." The stranger showed off his ring. Again it was just like his but the engraving in the center was different. It was a strange squiggle where the bottom part branched downward like a poorly drawn tornado. Then it seemed he noticed Matt then gave him the cold shoulder.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" Matt questioned. The Storm Guardian shot Matt an angry look.
"What do you mean you don't recognize me?!" He spat. "Does a dodge ball match ring a bell in that empty head of yours?!" Matt eyes looked upwards like they always did when he was thinking.
"Ah now I remember! It was just in the finally and I hit you out! You're from 2C right?" Matt sounded proud for remembering that. Basil couldn't believe it! This guy was from his school too, and not only that but the same grade year as him, Matt and Wes! What was going on here? Was everyone in his grade and school?!
Sorry for the not posting in a while! I'm going through minor writers block at the moment. I know how most of it is going to turn out but I'm stuck at what Johan and the others should be up to. So let me know if you want to see something happen. Let me know in the review so I can see how I can work it in! Thanks for all the support!
