Kass
I blinked my eyes at the sight of the two Kaiju Hunters blasting off into the distance before me.
Sure, Linzy and I had made them but I didn't think that they would be coming in so soon.
They were supposed to-in my opinion, like all evil guys should-burst in with a magnificent entrance, smoke billowing out from behind them and lightning streaking across the sky.
Not just... crash into a high school cafeteria and get their plans foiled by two teenaged girls who have nearly no idea what they're doing and spaz out the second something goes wrong.
I mean, come on. Bad guys are supposed to be... bad and awesome.
"That was... surprisingly easy." I said to myself."Great going with the control box, Linzy!... Linzy?"
Huh, I could've sworn hat the girl was here a second ago.
"Get-off." a strained voice groaned from beneath me and I leapt up.
I rapidly began to utter various apologies but she just waved them off and told me it was fine.
"Uh, it is SO not okay!" I pouted, placing my hands on my hips.
"I FELL on you! With my ba-donk-a-donk-do you SEE this? It's HUGE! I'm surprised I didn't snap your spine!"
I continued my rant, waving my arms and hands in the air as if to emphasize my point.
All the while there were little, teeny frog-like creatures swarming around us.
"Well, all that matters is that no one got hurt." Linzy told me and I shrugged then added, "Unless those two crashed into something on their little 'joyride' courtesy of us."
She snorted to keep from laughing, "Yeah, like a cactus."
"You keep Senor Rodrigo out of this!" I frowned but ended up splitting my face with a large toothy smile.
Soon we were both cracking up, clutching our stomachs as tears slowly began to stream down our faces. Sometimes, I swear, we were just... insane.
My hand went to rub the tears from my eyes and I cringed as my irritated skin began to sting at the contact.
I've ever had a sunburn this bad before. Nor did I have one that lasted this long. Usually it would only take around two days for me to start peeling and reveal an even paler layer of skin underneath all of those bright red, dead skin cells.
But it had been, what... four, maybe five days?
Seriously what gives?
"Uh, Kass?" Linzy asked me and I turned to her.
She was pointed at the ground at our feet. My gaze went to the spot specified. There. Right there, right in front of our shoes were dozens of green Gamorradons
. They were looking up at us with large amber eyes that seemed to shine with a cat-like appeal.
I pulled my face into a look of confusion-feeling some restriction along my cheek bones and forehead-as I lifted up a finger.
Their eyes snapped to it in attention. I moved it towards the right-they followed. Left-their gaze kept trained on the digit. Small circles-they still followed it.
I looked to my friend, "..."
"I don't even know what this is."
"Did we plan this without knowing it?" I squeaked and she shrugged.
"Maybe... maybe it's because of Alice?" I blinked at her bringing up my baby into the conversation. When she saw my look she sighed and told me, "You DID lunge at her and reused to let go for a good thirty minutes. And I DID have to pull you off-multiple times. So... maybe we have her... scent?"
I sniffed, "Nah, we don't smell anything like her."
She looked at me with an expression of complete disbelief. "And how do you know?"
"I-I don't know! I just do, okay?!" I snapped and she held up her hands in defense.
"Whoa, calm down! It's not like I stole your cookie or anything, geez."
I let out a growl... and so did my stomach. Seriously-I just ate not five minutes ago! Why are you not yet satisfied foul stomach beast?! Were the two turkeys last night not enough?! Did I dig them out of Linzy's crazy backpack for nothing?! I had to eat them raw because you couldn't wait until they were actually cooked! I ate them BOTH. Why are you not happy?!
"Can we just focus on the little dragon things at our heels?" I asked her, slightly annoyed for unknown reasons
