Chapter 6-Of Flowers and Fires(Precis)
"Finally, I'm done!" I exclaimed , as I wiped off the sweat from my forehead.
"You definitely need some sleep. You've been working really hard on that ship. More than all the others put together," piped up Bobot.
I climbed down the ladder. "I guess you're right," I said.The sun was beginning to rise. I had finished the paint job over night, with the help of Bobot giving me light. The ship was identical to the ship that Claude called Calnus. The only exception is our ship is powered by Heraldry and we have no weapons or defense systems. The inside of the ship is also more comfy-like. It had taken us two months to build, and this was with the help of everyone and some from Eluria.
As I got close to the tower I saw Ernest at the gate. He ran up to me and yelled," You worked overnight? Are you crazy?! Well I see it's finished...but still! You need you rest!"
As he finished talking everything went black.

When I came to, Rena and Noel were in my room. Rena was first to notice.
"Precis your awake! See what happens when work too much?" she asked.
"Ya I guess," I said and smiled weakly."Hey, where's Bobot?"
"Oh he's giving the others a tour of the ship," Noel said, pointing at the window.
I got up and walked to window to look. There was quite a large a crowd admiring the ship. I felt pretty proud at the moment.
I smiled and winked, and then said,"Well what else would you expect from someone like me?"
"Oh...just maybe something that would go boom...you know like some of your other creations...," Rena said, with a sarcastic tone of voice.
Noel just laughed. I put on the angriest face I could. "It was an accident! I didn't mean too..."
"Well you could have at least throw it somewhere. Ashton isn't a trash can, you know?" Rena said, giving me a stern yet comical look.
"I apologized over and over..." I whined.
Noel chuckled a bit and said," Apologies weren't going to give back Ashton's clothes."
I started to get angry."You know I could go over there right now and just mess up the ship!" I yelled.
"Oh please do! It will probably blow up the moment it starts!" Rena yelled back. She and Noel were starting to get on my nerves with all those laughs. I stuck my tongue out at them and stormed out of the room.
"Wait Precis! We were only kidding..." I heard Rena say, but continued on anyways.

I was taking a walk through the outside garden when Bobot came up to me."Wow! Everyone seems to enjoy the ship!" said the chippy Bobot.
"That's great...," I mumbled.
Bobot asked,"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." I told him.
"I think your lying. This isn't like you. You should turn that frown upside down!" he said, in a squeaky voice.
I giggled a bit."Thanks Bobot. You're pretty funny."
"You programmed me that way," he said, smiling.
"Oh yea...that's right!" I squealed.
We came to a bench and I decided to sit down. We were looking at a patch of roses. "Wow...this garden is beautiful...," I said, struck with awe.
Bobot walked up the roses and said,"They worked hard on fixing up this place. They got rid of that nasty looking moat, and put in a nice garden all around. The flowers still maybe small, but one day they will be big and beautiful...just like...Rena!"
"WHAT?!?! YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID MY NAME! YOU'RE SO MEAN!" I yelled at Bobot.
"Hahaha! I was just kidding. You need have a big temper. You should calm it down a bit," Bobot pointed out.
"I took a deep breath and then asked," Where are the others at?"
"They are having lunch. Shouldn't you?" responded Bobot.
I laid down on the bench and told him,"Nah...I'm not hungry. I'd rather enjoy this peace an-"
Before I could finish my sentence, I heard a lady scream. As I looked to her direction I saw a lady with bat-like wings flying down. She was only wearing a black bikini and her skin was pale. Plus, she had long white hair. She was ugly!
"Hmm...It's a monster...but it isn't registered in my Expel or Nede monster files, but I'm picking up strong magic readings. Be careful around that thing," said Bobot. One of his new features was that of gathering information of monsters by scanning them.
"Come on we should stop her!" I urged Bobot.
"Shouldn't we gather the others?" he asked.
"We'll waste time doing that. Ugh..we're wasting time just talking! Come on!" I yelled, and ran off.
Bobot jumped onto my back. I then started up my mechanical arm and ran full speed towards the bat-lady.
"Do you know where the telesphere is?" asked the bat-lady, in a croaky voice.
"What if I do?" I asked.
"Then you should give it to me. Wouldn't want such a precious looking garden to burn down, now would we?" she said, in an annoying tone of voice."People might also get hurt with such big fires..."
With that she made a fireball in her hand and tossed it up and down.
"I'll get you!" I yelled and ran toward her.
I jumped into the air aiming for her face, but she smoothly moved to the side. She then got the fireball in her hand and threw it at me. I barely dodge it but it hit one of the flower patches. It instantly turned into a blaze.
"Oh no!" I yelled.
"We have to be more careful," advised Bobot.
"Right!" I agreed. I ran towards her and got ready. "Hop Step!" I jumped into the air and came down on her with my hammer. It hit her straight on the face nd she landed with a thud. She qucikly got back up and threw a fireball at me, hitting my stomach and burning my shirt.
"Ha! That was a weak one! Wonder what will happen if I hit the same spot with a stronger fireball?" she said, with a wicked smile.
"Precis! We must finish her off quickly! One more hit and you're done for." said the worried Bobot.
"I know...the fire is starting to spread too..." I said, looking to the side. The beautiful flowers were all becoming black."You're gonna pay! Parabola Beam!" I pulled out Bobo, who turned into a satelite dish. I then fired the rays at full blast. It hit her and she fell to the floor. Bobot transformed back to his normal self.
"Is she dead?" I asked.
"Yes I think so. Let'stry to put out the fires now," Bobot said.
As we were heading to the castle to get some help, I heard a screech from behind. The bat-lady got back up and was heading straight for me.
"Ahhh!" I could only scream. I couldn't do anything else.
"Then there was a flash and the bat-lady was laying dead on the floor with a gash in her stomach. Green blood was pouring out onto the floor.
"You need to be more careful, Precis," said Dias, putting away his sword.
"Uh huh..." I mumbled.
As I looked to the side I could see Leon casting Ice Needle on the fires to stop them. The Rena and Noel came up to me.
"Come on Precis. You did a good job.You need some rest." said Rena, in that loveable voice of hers. They walked me to my room and laid me on my bed. I fell asleep straight away.
"Finally, I'm done!" I exclaimed , as I wiped off the sweat from my forehead.
"You definitely need some sleep. You've been working really hard on that ship. More than all the others put together," piped up Bobot.
