"Thank the saint you guys has arrived!", a Monquistan said with great relieved, "We've been so long without good food, we were about to eat our clothes!"
"Whoa buddy, calm down there", I said, "What's going on out here?"
"Oh where are my manners?", he said clearing his throat, "My name is Foreman Salazar, Welcome to the Isle of Doom"
We all said our introductions then asked what the problem was, iiiit wasn't good. Like he said his group is running out of food and fresh water, then mentioned some of the bodyguards went into the Dark Jungle and never came out. What makes matters worst, their water mole group started rebelling against them without a reason. This makes Tara seriously worried, I can see it on her face. When Foreman here finished his speech, Tara called us for a group meeting.
"Okay, I know we came here to find some answers to my parents", she said crossing her arm, "But we just can't leave these guys to suffer like this, we have to help them"
"I hear ya girl, however, there is too much going one here", I said to her.
"Mari's right", Bonnie said, "We got monkeys to help, then there's the water mole rebellion, and then we got to find that cave"
"That is why we are going, to split up", Tara said unfolding her arms.
"What?!", Milo said shocked.
"We'll cover more close ground if we split into teams of three, three will stay to help and the other three will go search"
Everyone had a moment to think about their thoughts of this idea. I pointed out it was a good thing to try, this place is waaaay too big and we won't get anywhere if we focus on one thing at a time. With that said, the agreement was made and Tara decided on who was going to be in the groups.
"Garpard and Kobe, I need you guys to come with me to the Dark Jungle", Tara said.
"What?!", Milo spoke up, "But Tara, why can't I go with you?", he asked concerned.
"Milo listen me", Tara said holding his hand", These monquistans need food and help, FAST. You, Mari, and Bonnie are the fasts in this crew, that is why you have to stay with them"
"Mmmm, are you sure about this?" He said sadly kneeling to her height.
"Don't worry Milo, Gaspard and Kobe will be by my side", she said.
"…Okay, I'll trust you", he said hugging her, "Please, look after her well and make sure she doesn't get hurt", he said to Gaspard and Kobe after his hug.
"You have our word", Kobe said placing his fist of his chest.
"We'll do our very best Milo!" Gaspard said to Milo, "Make sure you look after Mari for us"
"Gaspard I am not a baby"
"No, but you know how to start trouble", he said back.
"HEY, I do NOT!"
"Please you two, this isn't the time", Tara separating us.
"Hmph, fine", I pouted folding my arms looking elsewhere.
Geez Gaspard can't be such a pain when he wants to be, always nag nag nagging. What does he think is, my dad? Mmmmm, I don't want to think about that right now. They both went off to that jungle the monkey told us about, I look to Milo and he was super worried and sad watching Tara go. Poor Milo.
"Come on bud, lighten up", I said patting his back, "Tara is a way tougher girl than you think!", I said with a wink.
He gave me a simple nod, but he was still worried sick. Man, I've gotta distract this guy. So I went up to Foreman and asked what we three could do for his kind. They were simple enough request: collect some food, care for the injured, and rebuild some tents. Great, this will keep him busy as long as he's not taking care of the injured.
"Alright Milo buddy, I need you find as much food as possible"
"Okay!"
"Whoa hey hey, hold up!", I shouted grabbing Milo, "No going after Tara! I'm serious Milo", I said pointing.
He whined and gave me the puppy dog expression, dude…really? Milo admitted defeat and starts walking off looking for food. He better not go after her, we need all the help we could get in this crazy jungle.
3 hours later…
PHEW I need a break, in fact we ALL need to break from all this work. Oooh luckily for us Milo is finding good food, I was getting hungry from this workout. Wow, who knew Bonnie was good with treating wounds? And what do you know, the monkeys found a way to convert the water here to clean drinking water. Double good!
"Thank you for all the help you three", Foreman said walking over to us, "If you can there is one more thing we ask of you"
"Alright Foreman, what you got for us?", I said eating some fruit Milo found.
"We need you to punish the rebels and Haku, their leader, in ruined temple", he said pointing to it.
"…Alllrighty then," I said with a wide eyed expression, "Hey, you guys up are some action?", I asked Bonnie and Milo standing up.
They agreed for some, good cause I was getting a little bored being here anyway. Now this should sound simple enough: stop a bunch of mole water from cause an even serious ruckus. Oooooooh…that…is a llllot…of waters moles. Well…I sure hope Tara is having an easier time right now.
