Tyson: Yeah, it's only cause of it….
Punker: That's right and I had a blast also it also has to do with my lovely reviewers; you guys give me confidence as a writer.
Tyson: Yeah don't let that mean editor-in-chief, Priscilla scare you. (Pats head)
Punker: I don't wanna be on the school news paper anymore! Let alone design editor, it will actually prevent me from updating faster! Sorry!
Kai: Quit winning and start typing!

Chapter 4
The boys starred at each other from opposite sides of the ravine before, "MAX YOU IDIOT LOOK WHAT YOU DID!" roared Ray beating Max on the head.
"Me, you were the last one over, it's not my fault" yelled Max back protecting his head best he could from Ray's oncoming blows.
"Hey!" Yelled Kai at the two in such a commanding voice they stopped instantly. Ray and Max looked over at Kai and Tyson whom was now standing stood next to him.
"Listen up the plan has not changed" said Kai pointing up the side of the mountain. "The path looks like it intersects further up, we'll be able to meet up then" he said as Max raised his hand.
"Teacher, you do know that we won't be able to see each other once we go down this path" he pointed into a thick forest of trees.
"We have to look after each other you and Ray will have each other and I have Tyson" said Kai Tyson's blush increased and it was not due to the fever.
"Well let's go Max" said Ray pulling up his friend who looked nervously at both parties. "We can't spilt up" said Max shaking.
"Don't worry Max, we'll see you at the top" said Tyson reassuringly and he turned and followed Kai who had already began to walk down the path away from Max and Ray.
"Not cool" said Max standing and he and Ray walked into the thick green forest. "I think we should have found away to stay together" said Max following Ray as he slid down a hill.
"We had no choice Kai knew that and the long we wait and waste our energy the less chance of survive we have" said Ray not looking at Max but began his decent up a rough rocky path.
Max followed the rest of the way in silence and watched as the forest terrain disappeared around them and a tough climb loamed ahead.
"Kai?" asked Tyson as Kai knelt and in front of him. "Get on" he said in a commanding voice. Angered Tyson's stubbornness began to show through as he walked around Kai and continued up the path on his own.
Kai starred after him and ran to catch up. "What's your problem?" asked Kai looking at the defiant boy who continued along.
"I have no problem Kai" said Tyson not bothering to look at the duel haired teen. "Stop being so damn stubborn!" said Kai stopping in front of Tyson holding his ground.
"Move" growled Tyson returning Kai's glare.
"How do you think Tyson and Kai are holding up Ray?" asked Max out of breath as he pulled himself up over a ledge and landed next to an equaling exhausted Ray.
"I don't know, those two fight like cats and dogs, I think we only have to worry if Tyson gets stubborn." Said Ray sitting up he handed Max the half full canteen.
"Thanks" Max said taking it and stood up and walked over to the edge of the ledge admiring the view.
"I can be as STUBORN AS I WANT!' yelled Tyson pushing Kai out of the way.
He didn't want to fight, it made him feel ill all this yelling but he wasn't about to fully depend on Kai no matter how sick he was.
He wasn't going to allow Kai to see him weak. He wasn't then why was he crying.
"Tyson?" asked Kai as the boy fell into Kai's arms crying.
Tyson looked up weakly and said "I don't want to depend on you and burden you and I don't want you to think I'm weak" he said once again passing out.
Kai felt his forehead Tyson's fever had gone own but all of his yelling must have exhausted himself.
Kai smiled 'Why does your pride get in the way all the time Tyson" and he picked him up and continued down the snowy path.
"Look, Ray isn't it pretty" said Max starring out at the view a chilling wind whipped around them.
"Come on, Max we have to get going" said Ray turning his back to Max. "Alright" said Max turning to follow Max but a sudden crack sent Max falling.
Ray turned back in time to see Max disappear along with the ledge he had been standing on.
"MAX!" screamed ray diving after the young boy.
Ray looked over the edge fearing the worst. "Ray" Cried Max looking up from a small ledge hugging the side of the mountain.
Ray sighed in relief but a moment to soon as the ledge which Max sat upon groaned and cracked slightly under Maxes weight.
Max looked up through frightened eyes and Ray looked down through scarred eyes unsure of what to do. He knew he had to do something and fast because time was running out.
Kai and Tyson continued up the mountain unaware of the danger their friends faced.
