Meanwhile…
"Well, so far so good but thank goodness that this planet has oxygen." Ashley stated, checking her phone that came with her to this world.
Jim stopped walking, he was ahead of both of them, and asked, "What makes you think that we are in a different planet? We could have traveled back in time or to a different part of the world like France or Canada or maybe in the future." Jim made funny sci-fi sounds with finger guns.
"Well I studied on different plants and such in collage and I could give you the name of what I studied but I know you and Ryan would just take it as a joke. But we need to consider the facts, Jim has ears on his head and my phone has no bars. The trees and plant life are different from what's on our world." Ashley explained to Jim, who wasn't paying attention. "Hey! You need to listen to me!" Ashley yelled.
"By the way Jim, do you feel weird since your body has changed?" Ryan asked, stopping Ashley from throwing a rock.
Jim took a moment to think about the question and ponder on what has changed.
"Mmmm, I have noticed a few things. Watch." Jim said, preparing himself.
Jim leaped in the air, as if gravity didn't matter to him, as if he was filled with helium. But with miraculous speed as if he was in an anime or a movie.
"When did you have the time to figure out that you have these abilities Jim? You were walking without doing any leaping and stuff." Asked Ashley, Ryan nodding and agreeing.
"Just figured since I looked like a cat that I would have similar features as one. Who knows, maybe I even have nine lives too." Jim answered with a smile running across his face.
Ryan started to laugh, hard, for the first time since entering this world and wiped away the tears, "We could find out but we would be wasting time. But if you're different then maybe me and Ashley have enhanced features too." Ryan looked to Ashley who was nodding.
Ryan took a deep breath and focused. 'Now think, what can I do? I could try to run but I should start on something easy. Maybe strength? I could punch a tree', Ryan thought to himself as he walked over to a nearby tree.
Ryan breathed in and out, slowing his breathing, as he prepared himself. He opened his eyes and screamed HIYA before kicking the tree. As his foot contacted the tree a lot of debris fell from the branches, along with some small animals, then a loud crackling thunder occurred from the tree but nothing happened.
"Did that hurt?" Ashley asked as she looked at the tree to see if it snapped at all.
"No, but I did feel a little strange when I kicked it, like I had some kind of extra power. I don't know where it came from but I can feel it." Ryan said as he looked at his arms wondering if his punches do the same affect.
"Hey Ashley, go ahead and punch the tree. Maybe you can experience what I felt." Ryan said pointing to the tree.
'Well, it wouldn't hurt to know considering we might not have time later to find out so…' Ashley thought to herself. 'OK here I go' HAAA! she screamed aloud punching the tree.
A loud crackling sound occurred again to the tree as she punched it, just as Ryan kicked the tree.
"Hey why didn't you aim at the same spot as Ryan did? I don't think you guys even cracked the tree." Jim taunted at both of them.
"Well his kick was lower than my punch and I wanted to hit it with all my strength. And at least we could hit it as you would probably just trip on something", Ashley said laughing, Ryan laughing as well knowing that his luck would cause it.
"I do not trip over my-oaff" Jim tried to say as he actually tripped over something on the ground.
All of them started to laugh as this was one of their few moments of peace. Jim got up and started to walk over to the tree to see if any damaged had occurred to it.
Jim arrived at the tree and stated with a hint of laughter, "I wonder what's going to happen if I push the tree because I still don't think you even cracked it." Jim lightly pushed the tree.
Because of his unnatural ability he figured that he had similar strength if not more because of his appearance, so instead he slapped the tree as if slapping Ryan or Ashley on the back of their heads as he imagine it would be as hard as one. The tree suddenly moved and started to tilt. Jim let out a yell as he looked back to see the others reaction.
"Figured we broke it but with that slap of yours gave it enough momentum to fall. Just make sure it falls that way." Ryan pointed away from them.
Jim looked at the slowly falling tree and prepared himself to move it. As he prepared to do so Ashley intervened and stopped him.
"I got this, I won't use a lot of strength but I should be able to move it in a direction I want it to go." Ashley said as she begin to push the tree away from their direction.
The tree making cracking and thunderous noises as if it was alive and begin to fall sideways. The tree itself was amazingly tall, at least 150ft or so with the width being 4 ¾ feet. Then with a loud and commanding brake of sound, the tree fell to the ground as its base stayed in place. Jim let out a loud whistle as he felt the tree falling.
"That was loud enough to wake up Ryan from his hibernation." Ashley said with a giggle as Jim laughed.
Ryan let out a fake laugh, "Hahaha very funny. That was a good one. But enough playing around, we have to keep moving to the town."
"Speaking of which," Jim sniffed the air, "Something is nearing us as we speak, the scent is getting stronger" Jim looked around.
"It's probably an animal like a deer or something. I think you're over exaggerating it a little." Ashley stated, patting his back but felt the stiffness of his body.
"I have known Jim for a while longer then you Ashley and while he has idiotic and goofy moments, he does have serious ones and I'll believe him when he says something is coming towards us." Ryan said looking in the direction Jim was looking.
"Run. Run now!" yelled Jim as he pushed Ashley and Ryan to move.
Suddenly, a very large creature appeared in front of them but no one could even speak let alone scream in their moment of awe as they witnessed this giant fairy tale like thing, larger than any bear they have seen in their world but best described as if from the story of Red Riding Hood.
"Now that's no animal I have ever seen before in my life, look at the scars on that thing!" exclaimed Ashley as she was the most shocked that her statement earlier might be right and they are on another planet.
"Just freaking run! We can think about that damn thing later!" Jim yelled as he pushed them to move.
"We should be able to out run whatever that thing is with our new abilities, even if that thing is something we have never seen before" Ryan said as they started to run.
They all ran with incredible speed, faster then what their previous bodies could have done in their own world but the one thing they noticed was it didn't make little difference. The creature itself made a loud roar of intimidation, like it was the alpha of a pack and they stepped into his territory.
"We have to make sure that we do not lose anything besides that thing." Jim stated as he looked back to see that the creature has taken interest in them, chasing with speed compatible of theirs.
"Jim we could come back to this area after everything, but for now let's just run." Ryan said while trying to get some air.
After about 10 minutes of running the creature started to slow down like it lost interest in them.
"Phew, that was scary on its own, I can't believe that we escaped with our lives. I guess we have our new abilities to thank. Something like that does not exist in our world and if it did we wouldn't have escaped it like that." Ashley stated between pants as they stopped.
"No joking, but we have to thank Jim for having the senses to catch it before it really snuck up on us." Ryan panted out, patting Jim on the back.
Just as they began to catch their breath before continuing on their journey, the creature reappeared from thin air again and was more prepared to eat its prey.
"Oh what the hell?! That fairy creature reappeared again! I thought you could sense things like this, you know kind of like spider-man." Ashley asked Jim, backing up slowly.
"I wasn't trying to catch my breath earlier and I am not use to this yet. I don't know how to work it and we can look into it later." Jim said, fear in his voice as he backed up.
"We have to defend ourselves, we can't keep running. We'll use the weapons that came with us and kill it!" Ryan yelled as he drew the Katana.
The three each drew a weapon, Ryan drew his Katana which he received as a gift from his parents, Ashley who also drew a Katana sword which she bought a week before but hers was longer then Ryan's, and Jim holding Thor's hammer which he acquired from Ryan on a bet at last year's Comic-Con they attended.
"Get ready. We'll surround-," Ryan started before Jim interrupted.
"Something else is coming! This one feels different!" Jim yelled, turning and pointing towards where he felt it.
"What low despicable creatures you are, acting as if this world belongs to you. I will use you in starting my plans and show the world the end I will bring!" said a shadowy figure standing to the right of the three.
