"Yep, definitely this way!" Marbles yelled down from a tree nearby, pointing in the direction the group needed to go. Raccoon gave a growl from another tree to re-affirm her statement. As he chopped through some of the thicker foliage with a machete they had brought, Jack couldn't help but admit to himself that Marbles hadn't been doing a half-bad job at guiding them through the jungle. From her directions, Cyber had gathered that all of the maps had some degree of correctness to them, and was compiling a new one from these references for the sake of their trek back. Marbles didn't seem to need such things, however, as if she was in perfect sync with the environment itself.
Raccoon also seemed to be enjoying himself a bit more than usual, having found someone with a similar past and animalistic inclinations to himself for once. Seeing this, Jack felt a slight twinge of shame for not providing him such a thing beforehand, but as Cyber had pointed out when he mentioned it off-handedly, "-It's not like you could just look them up in the phone book.-" Still, though, in spite of efforts like moving to the Mystic Ruins for the freedom that the dense jungles would grant him, Jack wondered if he had not accommodated Raccoon's wild side enough. Since in spite of the bear's attempts to learn about and adjust to society, that would always be a part of him, and Jack hoped he hadn't inadvertently made Raccoon feel ashamed of that fact.
"Hey, do you guys hear that?" Marbles asked, her left ear twitching as she acknowledged the noise. Breaking out of his inner thoughts, Jack put his own ear to the ground in response, hearing a deep rumbling growing in the distance. "Sounds like a stampede. Something big...Cyber, did we bring that drone?"
"!" She responded, pulling a small, Miles Electric drone(courtesy of a certain fox)out of her backpack and controlling it remotely to survey the stampede going on miles away. A holographic screen showed what the drone's camera saw, a herd of rhinos running for their lives from something. "Hey, I know those guys! They're usually a lot more chill than that!" Marbles said, jumping from her tree and landing on a branch closer to the ground. Raccoon followed suit, landing on the ground and asking Cyber through sign language where the stampede was headed. A zoom out showed the crash of rhinos being mere miles from a not-insignificant cliff drop. "They're gonna fall right off!" Marbles shouted, nearly falling off the branch she was gripping. "Not if we can stop it." Jack replied, a plan quickly forming in his head. He pulled out his Void Wispon and addressed Marbles directly. "Listen to EVERY word I say, kid. We don't have a lot of time."
