Hey everyone, Poke'boy24 back with the 2nd half of the two-part beginning of Struggles of a Witch before the real story can begin.
Also for those didn't know, the Song in the first Chapter was 'Monster Inside by NateWantsToBattle' incase no one got it.
Plus I wanted to go ahead and give you a bit of a lead to help you imagine what the Characters voices sound like.
Weslyn- Sari from Transformers Animated
Tantula- Cammy from Street Fighters
Frisk- Windcharger from Transformers G1 Cartoon
Also I DON'T own any of the Elements of Owl House, Adventure Time, Skylanders, Monster Girl Encyclopedia, or any other Series as well Songs that may or may not appear in this Story.
Now that is done, so let get on with the Fic!

"WWWWooooo-WWWWhooooooaaaa! ! !" screaming out as they flew up over the Forest Weslyn cleansed her eyes shut as she wrapped her limbs around the Staff for dear life while tears of excitement and fear flew from her closed eyes.
"You can open your eyes now Human." Tantula said as she piloted her staff towards the Ranger's Station to finally get her debt paid off.
"N-N-N-NO! I-I-I-I'm okay t-t-this way thanks!" the small Child exclaimed holding on tightly since she never flew this high up before so this was pretty nerve racking in both a fun and scary sort of way.
"Oh relax Kid, It's just like riding a ride at a Carnival." The Amazonian Sorceress said in a reassuring tone since this Human Child is clearly frightened.
"W-W-Why and h-how w-w-would I r-ride a small Red B-Bird?" Weslyn asked having never seen or heard a Cardinal before since most of her life was either spent locked in the Basement or at those Private Prep Schools she'd accidently destroyed or been expelled from. That and those grumpy Tiger People ate nearly every small Bird Species into extinction so she will never get a chance to try this 'Bird Watching' thing she'd read about in some old Nature Magazines.
Seeing that this Kid won't be opening her eyes at any rate, Tantula decided to try something else. "Okay Kid, if I slowed down some, will you open your eyes and sit up?" she asked trying to help calm the little Girl down since she remembered her first time riding a Staff.
"No." Weslyn simply said shaking her head. "The last time a Stranger asked me to open my eyes I was pushed off a Bridge with Cement-blocks tied to my legs." She stated since this group of Masked Aliens saw her practicing her Fire Magic and asked her if she could help them open a large door in some building since they told her they left some things inside and that they lost their spare key. Either way they grabbed whatever they left inside before stuffing her in a sack as one of them said something about 'Leaving no Witnesses' before pushing her off the Bridge.
That comment made the Spider Witch raise an eyebrow wondering how this Human is even still alive but then again, she did last far longer than all those unfortunate Humans that had crossed paths with a Kamakiriman.
Seeing that this Girl isn't very trusting of Strangers, Tantula decided not to argue and continued her flight path towards the Ranger's Station.

"Ahh! Easy Nessica, my arm is still tendered from that Fire we've just put out." A Male voice stated wincing in pain as the Medic tended to the burns on his arm.
"Ssstop whining Huffer, remember you're the one who didn't sssee that burning tree branch falling towardsss you." A Female voice said with a bit of a hiss in her tone as she wrapped the bandages around her Co-worker's arm.
Huffer is a young Warlock in his late 20s with slightly Pale skin and short Dusty-Lavender hair and Blue eyes behind a pair of small Oval-shaped Glasses. He has an average built as well height being 5ft6inches as his Ranger Uniform was the same as Frisk's except instead of a Hat he has an Orange Cowl with the hood pulled up and Brown Work-boots.
(AN: Think Human version of Huffer from the Original G1 Transformers Series.)
Nessica is a Brown and Pond-Blue Naga with a Caramel Skin tone standing nearly about 7ft in height with her 12ft tail coiled behind her as she worked on Huffer's injury. She has a lean and flexible built as well a very nice figure which was hardly concealed by her Medic Uniform consisting of a Buttoned Coat, which has the insignia of a Blue Hand with a Dark-Blue Ribbon wrapped around the palm with a Light-Blue strand in the middle, on the shoulders as the upper portion was pushing against her round and firm Soccer ball-sized G-cup bust, slim waist, and a Blood-Red Skirt that hugged around her toned hips.
"Well so-ooorry~ Next time I won't get out of the way the next time a Forest Creature comes charging at me." Huffer said sarcastically rolling his eyes before wincing as the Medic 'accidently' pulled tight on the bandages around his arm.
"You might want to watch that sarcasm Huffer, because it might get you into trouble again." Frisk said as he entered the Med-bay before looking to the two other injured Rangers. "Besides, I think Bushwhack and Ramster got the worst of the damage." He added looking towards two other Rangers who are currently wrapped in Bandages.
Bushwhack is a young Tree-Elf in his late teens with messy Acorn-Brown hair, Forest-Green eyes, and Pale Brownish colored skin as he has bandages wrapped around his upper arms, right legs, and feet while Ramster is a Satyr with Gray colored skin/fur, a shaggy mane of Forest-Brown hair with huge curved Ram horns on his head as well beard and Topaz-Orange eyes as he has bandages wrapped around his neck and torso.
"So how long will we be wearing these Bandages this time? You know I don't like being out of action for too long." Bushwhack said with a grin as he can't wait to get back out in the field.
"Yeah, and I can't sit around waiting for these burns to heal." Ramster added since these two were the kinds who don't want to miss any action that may happen next.
"Well if you two hold ssstill for a moment, I can apply the Healing Glyphsss onto your woundsss to heal them fassster." Nessica said rolling her eyes irritated by those two eagerness to get back into the Forest as she slithered over before placing the Glyphs on the Three's injuries before they started glowing as the Magical aura took effect in healing their burns.
"So how long will it take for these burns to heal? 'Cause Trench and Echo wanted me to go with them tomorrow to make sure that old Mine is still secure." Huffer stated as the female Snake Monster placed his injured arm in a sling since many people been trying to reopen that Mine which was closed down for several reasons.
"Well for you Huffer it ssshould only be for a day or two, but Bussshwhack and Ramssster on the other hand will take a week if they don't ssstop moving around too much." The Naga Medic stated with deadpanned eyes as the Tree-Elf and Satyr were already gone as she sweat-dropped seeing as those two never understood the meaning of 'Doctor's Approval' since they've once again left to head back to the Forest.
"They're Forest Creatures Nessica, you can't blame them for wanting to rush back to something that makes them feel right at home." Frisk stated since he'd been doing this for nearly two centuries which was why the Beast-keeping Coven made him Leader of this team due to many decades of experience. "Anyway, Tantula said she'd found something so I'm going to meet her out front on the Deck and then I'll be calling a group meeting." He said getting the two to nod as he left to meet up with the Spider-witch.
"But what about Bushwhack and Ramster?" Huffer asked since those two are probably off in the Forest about now.
"Don't worry, I doubt they've gotten very far." The Dragonfly Demon said just as a Female voice called out.
"Got them right here Sir." The voice said walking into the Med-bay getting everyone's attention as they turned to see another Ranger holding said Tree-Elf and Satyr by their ear/horn.
"Thanksss Lillie, now you two back on the bedsss now." Nessica firmly instructed towards the two Forest Monsters as she pointed towards the beds they were supposed to be resting on.
"Don't mention it Doc." Lillie said with a perky smile as she pushed Bushwhack and Ramster back towards their beds.
Lillie is a Kappa as well Nessica's Assistant as she was wearing the same Medical Buttoned-coat which was custom made for the Smooth Brown shell on her back as well concealed a majority of her body as she was 5ft2inches in height with Light-Green skin with Freckles around her cute doll-like face as only Male Kappas have Bills while Females has the slightly curved upper-lip, Light-Blue eyes which sparkles like the morning Sun over a clear spring, and finally short Moss-Green done in a Bob-style as she was also wearing a Dark-Blue Cap to keep her plate from drying out as well Gloves and Boots to give her webbed hands and feet better traction and grip.
"Well now that you two got things under control, I'm going to meet up with Tantula and Huffer, I'm going to need you to assist Echo with the injured Animals." Frisk stated as he turned to meet with the Spider-witch.
"Sure thing Boss, I'll gladly help handle the screeching noise maker as well the injured Animals." The Lavender haired Warlock said rolling his eyes since he can only tolerate Echo for so long.
/ / /
In another part of the Base, the rest of the Team was caring for the Creatures in the Care-center.
"Alright, this little Piggy won't be wee wee weeing anymore." A Feminine voice with a light Brooklyn Accent said putting a juvenile Monster that looked to be a cross between a Boar and a Rhino whose tusks and horn were now starting to grow from their nub-stage to long and sharp stage.
The voice belonged to a young Woman being 5ft6inches in height with Light-Mocha skin and short frizzy Blue hair and Smoke-Black eyes and wearing a pair of 1980s-looking Headphones around her neck as she also has Sky-Blue feathered arms/wings with Talon hands along with scales reaching from her upper-knees to her Talon-feet and a long feathery tail. Her Rangers Uniform is different as it was a Vest and Short-shorts to fit her light athletic built as slim figure consisting of a perky pair of D-cup breasts, a slim waist with a toned flat stomach, and slim curvy hips with a cute toned ass.
This Woman is Echo, a Witch with some Ancestral Harpy traits.
"Well Echo, that 'little Piggy' would of have been 'Wee-wee weeing' if you didn't spook it with your loud ringtone!" a Masculine Male voice sternly stated since his Co-worker had forgotten to put her Scroll on silent, again!
This voice belonged to an Humanoid Aardvark Demon as he has nearly 6ft in height with a slightly muscular built as he has Greyish-Brown fur and Bluish-Black hair, Yellow eyes with Violet pupils, and big tough clawed fingers/toes, four-digit on his hands and three-digit on his feet, and a long Pale-Pink prehensile tail. His Uniform consists of a Vest which was unbuttoned showing parts of his muscular torso and Work-pants.
This was Trench, the Team's construction expert.
"Hey Trenchy, don't go hating on me just because I have sweet jams while your musical taste are as blend as dirt." The Female voice argued back since she's a music lover.
"Bzzt-bzzt-bzzt. Bzzt-bzzt BZZT!" a third voice, clearly Male, buzzed getting the two of them to stop arguing and focus on getting the rest of the Animals back in their pens.
This final voice belonged to a Wasp Demon standing at 4ft10inches in height with a Worker's build as he has big Red compound eyes and a Black and Yellow armor-looking carapace with a zigzag-striped pattern except instead of having four arms like Frisk, he only has two arms, as he has four-digit hands and three-digit feet, two toes and one heel, as his thin wings were folded behind his back while his abdomen was lowered and his stinger retracted. His Uniform consist only a pair of Cargo-shorts, a Beast-keeper Coven Orange Bandana around his neck, and a Hat on his head.
This Insectoid is Stings, or at least what most people called him since only a few can truly understand what he's saying.
""Sorry Boss-Wasp./Thank you Stings."" Both voices said with Echo apologizing to her Boss while Trench thanked his friend for agreeing with him since Echo's ringtone scared some of the Animals out of their pens and they've manage to round up but one as it had manage to escape through the ventilation system.
"Bzzt bzzt-bzzt bzzt." Stings buzzed gesturing for them to split up to find the missing creature. "Bzzt bzzt-bzzt-bzzt bzzt bzzt." He added motioning for Trench to come with him while Echo takes Rooter since he was train for search and recovery assignments.
"Sure thing Boss-Wasp, Fwoo-woo!~ Come Rooter!" Echo called making a whistling sound to get one of their trained Rescue Animal to come towards her.
This Animal was bipedal as it looked to be a cross between a Porcupine and a Pangolin as his body was cover with dense Reddish-Violet scales with quill-like hairs coming from the back of his Brownish-Yellow Reptile-like head with thin Violet eyes and Blue pupil and some flailing out from around his shoulders along with a Dark-Blue underbelly. He also have a single Bluish-Grey spike coming from his elbow and three very long thin clawed fingers which look more likely to be used for fighting than digging, and a very long whip-like tail as he also has a Collar around his neck along with his certification on the back of his tag.
This is Echo's pet Armadiller Rooter and he was one of the few Animals trained to help them in the field.
"Gruuuuooooo-ssssssssssss!" Rooter made a grunting/hissing sound as he trekked beside Echo as both of them headed off towards the Ventilation Room to start their search while the two Males began their search outside where some of the air-ducts lead.
/ / /
"Okay Kid, here we are." Tantula said as they've finally reached the Ranger's Base which was an old observation building built centuries ago during the Chaos Wars and was in some need of serious repairs as of late.
"Na-uh, I'm good thanks." Weslyn stated as she was still holding onto the Witch's staff with her eyes clenched shut as she was still a little shaken from her first time flying as this was a little ironic that she had spent the last couple years trying to learn Levitation only to now be a little startled from Flying.
"First time flyer huh? Don't worry Kid, you'll get use to traveling that way eventually." Hearing a soft feminine voice Tanula turned to see Frisk walking towards them along with a Woman next to him.
The Woman was of average height being 5ft4inches with shoulder-length Light-Brown hair styled in a Sleek-bob framed to the left side of her head as her pointed ears poked through, Rose-Pink colored eyes behind a pair of round Amber-lens Glasses and a slightly Tanned skin-tone while her figure was slim and perky consisting of an ample Double-D-cup bust, slim waist, and slim curvy hips. Her Rangers Uniform was different in color as hers consist of a Forest-Green Cargo-vest with the insignia of a Meadow-Green Plant that seems to be a cross between a Tulip and Flytrap with four large Leaves, two being Forest-Green on the side and two behind it only in a darker shade, on the right breast-pocket as it was over a White Tank-top, Earth-Brown Cargo-pants with matching color Work-gloves and Boots.
This Woman is Gardenia, a Witch who specialized in Plant-magic as well the Ranger's expert on different types of Flora.
Cracking her eyes slightly open the small Human Girl couldn't even find her voice as she saw both Witch and Insectoid Demon right in front of her. 'W-Wow, a real life Demon.' She mentally awed since many Demons and Monsters were unfairly discriminated for the actions of some as well an complete misunderstanding with a few others since many Aliens Species from her Birth-realm founded some old Human protrusions of their kind offensive and hurtful, it's possible that Demons and Monsters might feel the same way with many of their kinds being bluntly labeled as 'Evil' and 'Unholy' as well getting unlawfully attacked and killed when they were probably just minding their own business.
/ / /
Meanwhile in different Realities certain Magical/Mystical individuals sneezed from Members of the Justice League to an Elf Goddess and her squad of Holy Knights.
/ / /
Back in the Monster Realm, Frisk was taking a closer look at Weslyn with his big compound-eyes causing the Girl to shake nervously as she tried, and failed, to hit herself behind the Spider Witch's Staff.
"So this is what you've found Tula, a Human?" Gardenia questioned with a raised eyebrow as she was slightly surprised that this Human Child managed to survive longer than any of the Adults that gotten warped into their Realm. "So is she a Rift Victim as well?" she asked looking towards her fellow Sorceress.
"No since Spyner didn't sense any Dimensional tears." Tantula stated as the Spider craving on her Staff turned up and off the end shifting from being made of wood into a Small Chibi-looking Spider with a Light-Brown head and body, Dark-Brown legs and manibles, and six eyes with two big Yellow ones with Navy-Blue pupils and four smaller eyes in-between them with one pair over and another pair under.
Crawling down on the Staff the Spider then crawled onto Weslyn's head clicking his mandibles getting her attention. "WO-AAAAAHHHH!" she cried out letting go of the Staff and onto her back as she was completely startled by the sudden greeting from the small creature.
"Relax kid, Spyner's a Palisman so he won't bite… Well, not too much anyways." Gardenia said giggling a little since her reaction was a little funny.
"Anyway, as I was saying Spyner didn't detect any rift openings in the area I found her in but that's not the strangest part." The Spider-Witch started getting the two Rangers to look at her.
"Please define 'strange' since Humans are pretty strange creatures to begin with." The Dragonfly-Demon asked with a suspicious tone since he was getting some strange vibes from this Human while is animal instincts were telling him to be very cautious.
Looking back down towards her Palisman, Tantula gave him a silent command to keep a close watch the child as he replied with a nod as well a few clicks. "Let discuss this in private." She stated since it's too much of a risk to be talking in the open as you never know who might be listening.
As the three made their way inside the Station, Weslyn walked towards the guard-railing looking as a lot of different Forest creatures with different looks and features ranging from Giant Insects to Cross-Species Hybrids. "Wow, so all those Myths and Legends were true after all." She said to herself as she was more into the Natural Myths and Legends from ancient history as she watched what looked to be a cross between an Iguana and a Parrot climbing/gliding from tree to tree as well as a big Brown Bird with tiny wings, a big under bite-looking bill, and Purple face that appears like a Mask along with matching colored legs.
Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she had a strange feeling as an enormous amount of raw energy was all around her as she cleared her head to hear the many different sounds of nature from Avian squawking/chirping, to Insects clicking/hissing, and even Mammals snarling/grunting.
As Spyner continue to watch the Girl, he then leap back with wide eyes as the Human started to give off a blight aura as she was unconsciously absorbing a very small bit of the Natural Energy around her before stopping as she snapped her eyes open and stepped back, nearly losing her footing. "Whoa… That… was very weird…" she breathed placing a hand over her heart as she felt a little strange sensation like some bit of energy just gotten absorbed into her system but at the same a little better as the ache and bruises she had gained the past couple of weeks were now healed.
THUNK! Cling-cling-clang~
Hearing something falling from behind them, both Human and Palisman looked upward to see that a Vent-cover was pushed off as a Bluish-Grey Creature the size of an River-otter and looked like a cross between a Stick-bug and a Salamander with thick armor-like skin and long limbs, the forelegs being big and bulking in the front and the hind-legs being small and slim, that end with a single claw and a roundish triangle-shaped head but was also completely faceless as it has no eyes, nose, or even a mouth.
"W-W-What is that?!" Weslyn questioned seeing the strange armored-skin Creature watching as it scaled down the wall with ease.
"Grrrrooo-Weeeeaaaaaaaahhhhh! ! !" the Creature released a growling-squawking sound before leaping off the wall and onto the Deck-floor right in front of Spyner causing the Palisman to jumped as he was startled as his defensive reflex were triggered as he unknowingly shot a spray of webbing from his spinneret directly towards Weslyn's face.
"WO-AAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! ! !..." the Human Girl cried out as she was pelted in the face by the sticky Arachnid biological silk as she stepped back trying to get it off before screaming as she lost her footing falling under the Guard-rail pulling the Palisman down along with her as both screamed/clicked together as they fell towards the Forest-floor below.
"There you are you troublesome Husking Drak." Echo announced as she and Rooter to find their little escapee as traced her finger creating a Sky-Blue Spell-circle and before the baby Monster could leap away it was hit with a Sleep Spell knocking it out cold as it was now fast asleep. "Now let get you back into your Pen little fella." She said lifting the Monster Youngling into her arms.
"GGGrrrruuuuhhh-SSSSS-Gruuuuhhhh! ! !" Rooter then suddenly started grunting and hissing catching his Handler's attention.
"What's the matter Rooter?" the Harpy-Witch asked seeing that the Armadiller was by the Guard-railing as well holding a shoe in his mouth. Walking over she bent down and took the Shoe to get a better look at it. "What's a Doll-shoe doing out here? There aren't any School Trips or Job Events made here for Months?" she questioned wondering where this piece of footwear even came from.
"GGGggrrrruggg-SSSSssss!" the Trained Monster replied motioning with one of his claw paws downward as Echo realized that someone must have fell over.
/ / /
Meanwhile in the Director's Office, Frisk, Tantula, and Gardenia were having a discussion about the Amazonian Witch's encounter in the Forest where she first met the small Child.
"So you're saying that this Human Child has the ability to use Magic? Sorry if I don't believe you Tantula but we all know that Humans are incapable of using or preforming Magic and/or Mystical Arts." Gardenia said shaking her head while crossing her arms as she was finding this completely unbelievable.
"True that while Humans aren't naturally born with the ability, they can still harness it through other means and some of which are not so great." Frisk added having seen and heard many things that while some Humans use either an Artifact or brewing Potions, others do this through more gruesome manners from devouring a Demon's Heart or killing and drinking their Blood.
"Well believe when I say that this one does as she was able to disburse my Constricting Spell even at its lowest level." Tantula countered getting the two Rangers to raise an eyebrow since even at its weakest strength her Spell was still strong enough to hold down a Giant Orc. "But the strangest thing is that while I was staring down at her sternly, she called me 'Mother' while acting the same way like an abused Animal does with their Captors." She added with her upper arms crossed and with her lower hands on her hips while thinking about what she could understand that this Kid suffers from some serious Family issues.
"Hmm…" the Dragonfly-Demon hummed closing his eyes. "Tell me, those she has anything else we should know of like her Mental state or Social skills?" he asked that while he does find it highly unlikely for the Human to even have Magic, she's still a young child and was concern about her upbringing so far.
"Not much but from what I could understand her Family disowned her and she doesn't have any friends or anyone missing her back home as she had been pretty much treated like an outcast and ridiculed her whole life as well feeling like she doesn't belong and that her life is just meaningless." The Grey skinned Sorceress said getting Frisk to think about what he had just heard.
"Really? Surely she must have at least someone that would miss her right?" Gardenia questioned since the Human have at least someone that would notice she was missing.
"Nope, no one is going to miss her since she said something about people always comparing her to her Family members as well treating her more like a deflected product than a living person. I couldn't really understand her but I mention something about hardly being three to four feet tall as well being smaller than other kids her age?" Tantula said rubbing her head a little since she could baring understand the kid's ranting like she had been bottling up her emotions or something.
"Why's that? She seems to be the right size for a Five year old Girl." The Female Ranger said since she has a Five year old Daughter herself.
"She said she was nearly Eight." The Amazon countered telling the other Woman Weslyn's true age which caused her to look downward seeing that the Girl really is small for her age.
Frisk then close his eyes and took a breath before sharing his thoughts "Well from what I'm hearing, this Child seem to have a severe case of Outsider Syndrome that had also been reinforced by mental, emotional, and judging from the internal injuries, physical abuse along with clear lack of Social skills meaning that she was pretty much treated to isolation." He stated because years on the job had helped him tell when an Animal had been a victim to abuse and/or severe captivity.
"Wait, what do you mean by 'internal injuries'?" Gardenia asked since the Human looked to have been completely find save for a couple scars and bruises that she made had received from the Forest.
"I mean when she looked at me, I used me Scope-vision to take a look at her injuries. And while her clothes did manage to cover the external scars on the outside, I also saw the cracked bones, busted joints, and bruised organs that shown the signs of repeated healing over time." He explained having seen the same conditions on some of the Animals that were victims of illegal hunting and smuggling.
Before either Women could asked the Dragonfly-Demon anything else, the Office door opened with Echo, Rooter, and Stings entering. "Bzzt-bzzt-bzzt, BZZT BZZT! ! !" the Wasp-Demon buzzed getting the other Insect's attention.
"What do you mean someone fell over the railing?!" Frisk exclaimed pushing himself up and over his desk as he ran out of his Office with Tantula, Gardenia, Echo, and Stings following suit.
/ / /
"AAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! !" Weslyn screamed completely terrified as she was falling at high speed straight towards the ground while Spyner was rapidly clicking his manibles in fear as he was currently trapped by his own webbing and stuck on the back of her head. Seeing that the Forest was rapidly getting closer, she clenched her teary eyes shut and tried concentrating. "Come on, come on, Levitate!" she told herself trying to focus as her body slightly glowed before flickering out as she lost focus.
Feeling her Magic not working she continue screaming while covering her eyes as the Palisman struggled to get his head free before spraying a blast of thick silk from his mouth which snagged onto a tree branch as they roughly stopped just inches from hitting the hard ground.
Not feeling the familiar pain of hitting against extremely hard ground, Weslyn breathed heavily before slowly uncovering her eyes to see that she was still in one piece. "O-O-Oh m-m-maa-aaaan…" she breathed feeling her heart slowly starting to beat again along with the dampening of her Overalls since she had just fallen down from over Sixty feet.
Seeing that they were now safe, Spyner then snip to silk with his manibles which startled the Halflingas she fell onto her butt before pulling the Spider Palisman off of her head.
SN-IIIIIIPPP!~
"YE-OOOOWWW! ! !" she yelp wincing in pain feeling the webbing tear some hair as well skin off of her head before helping him out of his webbing. "That's one sticky situation we're out of, but now we have seriously tall problem on how to get… up there." She said as both of them looked upward to barely see the under-structure of the Station that they didn't noticed some Vines with thorns on them slowly started to move towards them from behind.
"Click click click-click-click." Spyner loudly clicked wondering why he was stuck babysitting this stupid clumsy Oaf of a Girl who can't even watch her step.
"Hey! I know I'm not smart or anything, but I'll have you know that I'm more klutzy than clumsy thank you!" Weslyn countered leering at the Palisman in her hands remember those Prep School Fieldtrips to Museums for History Class where she either accidently knocked over an Exhibit or accidently brought some dead things back to life. "Eeee-eeewww-wwww… Phantosaurs…" she shuttered with chills going down her spine as she remember that incident where she, unknowingly out of anger from some of the other Students blaming her for wrecking an Exhibit that they destroyed, brought the old Dinosaur Fossils back to life with transparent Ghost-like Bodies rampaged out of the Museum and through the streets of Washington that it took about over half a year for the Military to round up every last one before what was left of the Ruined City to create a whole new Monument to forever remember the events that was dubbed 'Terror of Washington B.C.' as that was on her list of Top-5 Chaotic events she created.
"Click-click-click click click?!" Spyner clicked again this time in a manner that he was completely surprised since only Tantula could understand him due to their mystical Familiar-like bond between Caster and Palisman.
"What do you mean I could understand you? I'm hearing you as plain as day, which is weird since Linguistics isn't really my best subject." She stated before sweat-dropping a bit since out of the Millions of Alien Languages back in her Birth-Realm, she only manage to learn one from an extinct Species whose Planet was destroyed by a giant Space-parasite and the only sayings she managed to learn were 'Hello', 'Nice Day we're having', and 'Can you please direct me to the Bathroom' but the third one was more important since her Kidneys and Bladder were repeatedly damage playing that Game some of the Alien Kids called 'Target Practice' where she's the target and they have to hit her, she never really understood that game.
As the two kept arguing, the Vines slithered around the Girl's legs before yanking back pulling her to the ground causing her to drop the Spider Totem. "WHO-AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! ! !" she screamed as she was dragged further into the surrounding vegetation as the vine around her legs pulled her to where they were connected to.
"SSSSSNA-AAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHSSSsssss! ! !" a loud gurgling hiss was heard as she saw just what had grabbed her which was an enormous Carnivorous Plant the size of a Shack that was Lime-Green in color with big Violet 'lips' with had Pink sharp and narrow thorns which acts as fangs as well as Pink petals coming from around its stem and Greenish-Yellow thorns around its body and six tendrils, two of which ended with large Pink Tulips that flexed like clawed fingers. "SSSSSNNAAA-AAAAAAA-AAAAAAHHHHHHHSSSsssssss! ! !" it hissed again this time opening its enormous maw wide spraying out saliva-like nectar as its large tongue thrashed a bit.
"AAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! ! !" Weslyn cried as the Plant Monster dropped her into its drooling maw before snapping it shut as it prepared to digest its meal.
/ / /
Flying down towards the Forest floor Frisk, Echo, Stings, Gardenia, and Tantula were arriving just in time to see the Kid get pulled into the underbrush.
"Spyner, I thought I told to keep a close eye on her!" Tantula sternly said as her Palisman clicked his manibles.
(AN: Whenever a Palisman and/or Animal is talking, the "[Palisman/Animal]" will represent the dialect.)
"[I was, until a Husking Drak startled me since you know I shoot Webbing when I get startled!]" Spyner argued since was by complete misfortune that they fell over the Deck. "[But that the least of our worries since that Human kid got drag by a Plant-Monster's tentacle!]" he added since this Forest has many kinds of Carnivorous Plant-Monsters.
"This way everyone!" Frisk commanded leading them towards the direction the Girl got dragged to.
"SSSSSNA-AAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHSSSsssssss! ! !"
They heard the hissing sound of a very well-known type of Plant, the Hominis Manducans, better known here as the Basic Man-eating Plant.
"AAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! ! !"
They all heard the sound of the Halfling-girl's screaming and arrived just in time to see the Plant-Monster drop the kid into its drooling maw before snapping shut.
"[Oh great, Kid just got eaten by a giant Weed!]" Spyner clicked using two of her fore-legs to cover his eyes.
"SSSSSNAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHSSSssssssss! ! !" the Man-eating Plant hissed sensing more food in front of it as it launched its thorn tentacles right at them with quick speed that Tantula and Gardenia barely managed to avoid while Frisk, Echo, and Stings flew upward.
"Tantula, Gardenia you both try to get the Kid out of there while we keep it busy for as long as we can!" Frisk directed since him and Stings are Insectoid Demons the Plant-Monster will more likely target them while Echo can lend them some extra aerial support.
"Got it!" Gardenia said while the other Witch nodded as both of them traced their Spell-circles, Aquamarine for Tantula and Orchid-Purple for Gardenia, which enveloped around both of their hands, or upper-hands for the other Witch, and slammed both of them down unto the ground as larger Spell-circles appeared in front of them.
And like a Landmine all four Spell-circles exploded outward with Humanoid Soldiers made from Tree-roots appearing out from the Ranger's circles while Humanoid Spider-like Golems made of roots and earth appeared from the Spider-witch's as the Root-soldiers shift their hands into Axes/Spearheads and the Spider-golems got on all eights and gave a deep bellow hissing sound.

As the Ground-force made their charge, Air-support was providing the needed distraction.
"Hey Salad-head! Here's a tune I know you can't ignore! SSQQQQQQQQQUUUUAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! !~" Echo exclaimed before releasing a high pitch Harpy-screech blasting against the Man-eating Plant knocking it back hard from the sound vibrations
"SSSSSSSSNAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHSSSSSSSSS! ! !" the Plant Monster hissed angrily before swinging its Flower-tipped tentacles towards the Halfling-Sorceress before getting blasted by both a Fire-ball and Lightning-bolt as Frisk and Stings were hovering behind it.
"Remember there is someone inside this Plant so ease on the force so make your attacks are set to Stun Rangers!" the Dragonfly-demon stated as this was now a rescue so they need to be careful because if the Plant dies, the person insides will die also due to suffocation.
"Bzzt-bzzt bzzt!" Stings buzzed before zipping downward to avoid an incoming tentacle.

"AAAAAAA-AAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! ! !" Weslyn screamed as she slid down the Plant's throat before digging her hands and feet in stopping just above the dropping point where she sweated and shook with fear seeing the bubbling pit of Stomach-acid just below her. "N-N-No-ow I-I kn-n-now how a B-B-B-Bug f-feels w-w-when t-they get e-ea-aten…" she stuttered before the Monster suddenly shook making her feet slip as well causing her other shoe to fall off and into the acid as she clenched her eyes shut fearfully watching her shoe quickly melt into the bubbly Stomach fluids.

Back outside Gardenia and Tantula rushed to where the Monster was rooted as their Summons handled the tentacles coming at them via slashing, hacking, and even ripping them.
"Okay Tula, once the tentacles frail up, I need you to bind them okay?" the Brunette Sorceress asked while identifying the weak-spot.
"Yeah, so less talking and more doing!" Tantula said as she readied her Spell using her upper-hands while her lower-hands dug into her Satchel and pulled out a Dagger.
Wasting no time, the Female Ranger focused her Magic into her hand before jabbing two fingers right into where its stem connects to its roots.
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! ! ! ! ! ! ! !" The Man-eating Plant screeched out as all of its tentacles shot straight upward as the Spider-witch cast her Binding-spell around them before anchoring them to the ground giving the other Rangers their opening.
"Now Stings, stun it with your Taser-pulse!" Frisk ordered as the Wasp-demon buzzed before flying towards the Monster's head while charging some Electric-magic into his left hand before smacking it right onto the Monster.
BBZZZ-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTT! ! !~
"SSSSSSSSSNNNNNNAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! ! ! ! !" the Man-eating Plant screeched out once again as it was being electrocuted by the Wasp-demon's electricity.

Losing her grip quickly, Weslyn felt and heard the Plant shaking as well screeching. "What's going on out their!?" she exclaimed not noticing the pulse-wave was electricity rushing downward where she is. "AAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAA-AAAAAAA-AAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! ! !" she cried out as her entire body was electrocuted by a huge amount of voltage that it would make those Electrical Aliens' attack feel more like an Taser sting as the extreme pain was forcing her body to shift into her 'Abomination' form again before flicking back to normal as she lost her grip and blacked out from the pain as she fell into the pit of Stomach-acid.

With the Plant-monster down, Tantula jabbed the Dagger into the Stomach-area and sliced a big enough opening that quickly drained the insides of its fluids before pulling Weslyn out showing that the Human Girl was now slightly burned and completely drenched in Stomach-fluids as well having a bit of blood seeping from her mouth, nose, and eyelids.
Leaping of his Caster's shoulder, Spyner crawled towards the Girl's chest and listen for a heartbeat…
…
…Ba-bump…
…
…Ba-bump…
…
…Ba-bump…
…upon hearing the slow but steady heartbeat, he shared his discovery. "[She's still alive but could use some serious medical treatment.]" He stated as Tantula nodded.
"Alright she's okay for the moment, but we need to get her to Nessica and Lillie quick." The Amazon Woman stated bringing the small child into her lower-arms as Spyner retook his place on her Staff as everyone quickly headed back to the Station as the Human may had just survived her first day within a completely different Realm.

And finally done!
In case you all want to know that this was why I started that Poll asking if I should wait until the end of the Month to post new Chapters/Stories as I've started this two Months, TWO MONTHS, and have now just got it done.
Anyway, after some ups and downs, Weslyn will soon literally be having the adventure of her life as next chapter really gets the ball rolling.
See you all next time and remember to stay safe.
