Meanwhile at the playground, Ollie managed to get the mentally messed up kids out of harm's way by trapping them in the jungle gym with his grap-vine. Now he was helping his best friend with the Wayne Phenomena with and bare hands... but with little success.
In the slide network "How is this WP so fast?! an exhausted Olly asked an equally exhausted but dirtied up Ansi.
"I know right... just look at it!" Ansi tiredly said as he thrusted his arms in a presenting fashion at their speedy adversary. "It's gloating over there... mocking us!"
As the Wayne Phenomena (a three eyed gopher looking specimen) was making funny faces at it's exhausted opponents, clearly mocking them. The strange creature was suddenly clocked in the head by medium sized ring that had spikes on it before returning to the hand of the ninja herself, Goodness.
"What's up fellow Gyre members?" Goodness asked playfully as she then got into a fighting stance.
"Goodness?" The two boys said in both confusion and delight as the ninja then leapt acrobatically towards the phenomena who sped to the other side before turning somewhat invisible, much to the three's confusion.
"He's invisible now?" Ollie asked as he and the others began to look around before he felt himself get instantly kicked in the face and as a result, was sent tumbling down the loop de loop slide.
"Ollie! Ah!" Ansi said before he felt himself being slammed into the floor of the slide room.
Although Goodness was worried for her comrades, she couldn't bring herself to cry out Ansi's name as it would allow her to get caught off guard as well as her speedy opponent began to run and jump all over the confined space. Instead, she closed her eyes and began to focus on her surroundings. Since she couldn't see her opponent, she needed to focus other four senses... but what sense could be important for a situation like this? Those were the thoughts roaming through her head at the moment as she focused herself.
Taste?
"Ew gross no, I'm NOT eating that thing!" She thought to herself in her head.
Touch?
"When I get my hands on it definitely!" The ninja said clenching her fists tightly.
Smell?
"It doesn't give off any smell I've smelt before so that one's gonna be difficult..." She thought in head.
After she thought about it, there was only one answer.
Wait that only be...
"Sound!" She shouted as Ansi slowly got up.
"You're gonna track him by hearing it?" He asked.
"Yeah, now let's stop talking, close our eyes and let's get to hearing." The ninja ordered as Ansi drew his Z shaped sword from his back pocket and pressed his back against her own.
"Oh!" Goodness suddenly realized that she forgot something important. "I completely forgot that Saraline wanted to give you and Olly these." She said
"What is it?" Ansi asked in confusion.
"It's an earpiece, it allows us to stay in contact with Saraline."
"Where is she anyway, I thought she was coming too." Ansi asked, putting the small device in his ear
"Some last minute... decisons caused her to stay behind in her room."
The WP was too busy blitzing all over place to hear his opponent's plan to battle it.
That's going to a big mistake on it's part.
After finally reaching the bottom of the slide, Ollie spat out some sand and sat down on the ground and put his hands on his knees.
"I want to help them but how? That thing was able to toss me aside like I was nothing." Olly questioned himself. "How can I help Ansi and Goodness against something like that?"
Suddenly, he heard footsteps crumple against the sand which cause him to look up.
When he did, he saw that Katherine-Alice had arrived on the scene.
"Oh hey, Katherine-Alice." Ollie greeted the paper user. "You've come to help us?"
The origami user nodded before helped Ollie up and handed him his earpiece. "Saraline had to stay behind for something so me and Goodness chose to help out in her place."
"Well, that's good." Ollie said to her before he remembered what was wrong with his little sister. "Wait,does that mean that you and Goodness know the... uh..."
"That Saraline is in love with her little, wittle, organized, shorty shorts wearing, long legged, sweety, weety, bugaboo, bearykins?" Katherine said a bit smugly. "Yeah, me and Goodness literally walked on her as she said out loud to herself. She didn't hear us until we screamed into her eardrums."
"You're going to mock for it, are you?" Ollie said as he got a bit serious pointing his grapple shooter at the paper weaponizing child. "Course if you are, I swear that I will..."
"Easy Ollie." Katherine said, putting up her hands to defend herself from the boy's emotional fury. "I'm not the mocking type. Goodness isn't either. I'm more of behind the back teasing at best, Goodness as well, so there's no need to get so worked up over it."
Ollie thought about this for a moment before he let out a sigh. "You're right, K, I'm sorry for that bit of an outburst."
"It's fine, you're just looking out for your sister that's all." Katherine said being chill about what happened a few seconds ago as she understood why Olly got a bit hostile over something concerning his sister. "Oh, and before I completely forget about it, take this and put in your ear."
"An earpiece?" Ollie questioned the device as he put it in his right ear. "But we have our star beams for communicating."
"A backup device can't hurt, right?" Katherine stated before handing the Timbers brother his weapon of choice to him. "You're also going need this back."
"My Grap-vine?!" Ollie held the makeshift grapple gun in his hands, before he immediately remembering something important. "But wait, what about the..."
"Oh don't worry about the children, Timbers, I made a bunch of paper pterodactyls and I had them get carried the children off to safety before I came to you." The girl who literally regained her voice explained, making the Timbers brother breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oh, what a relief." Ollie said as he regained his hope as he looked up at the network of slides. "C'mon K.A. We've got friends to help and a WP to stop!"
He then ran towards the ladder as Katherine-Alice giggled to herself at the young detective's youthfulness and literal child-like whimsy and love for life and death adventures.
"Lead the way Oliver." She said to herself as she began to follow him up the ladder.
Back in the Timber sibling's headquarters/bedroom, Saraline began to mutter a chant to herself repeatedly as she pace around the room massaging her temples.
"Focus on the mission, not Ansi... Focus on the mission, not Ansi... FOCUS on the mission, NOT Ansi!"
After a few seconds, she took a deep breath to focus herself before she a small button on her earpiece before saying the words:
"Patch me through to Katherine-Alice."
Hello there everyone, what's this? A new chapter a few days or so after the last one. What a coincidence
Anyways, see you all next time.
