Hiya! Sorry that this took so long. Well, here you go! Oh, I almost forgot! I'm sorry if I sounded mean before. I was just trying to act a little... tough. Well, enjoy!
Chapter 1: A Girl Awakens
Naomi's POV
"Chamber opening." Said a robotic voice as the door opened, causing dust to disperse. I slowly opened my eyes as I get out of the machine. I cough as I open the door. I stop when I realize that I'm not feeling metal, but rather, a plant like feeling. I push it away to have a bright light shine in my eyes. When my eyes focus, I gasp to see that not only is the building overrun by plants, but that the chamber that held Yakumo's sleeping body was gone. I start to get worried when I stop and take a deep breath. I walk over to the machines and open it to reveal a secret compartment. I reach in to grab my pack and open it to reveal…rotten fruit. I drop my pack as worms and larvae wriggle out. I cover my nose as the stench of fungi becomes overwhelming.
"Amber was right. I really shouldn't have packed food…" I say to myself as I go back to the compartment. But I look back at the bag, realizing something. I argue with myself for a few seconds before I immediately dive my hand inside and pull out two items covered with cloth. I shriek as I see all these bugs on me (what a tough warrior, I am. I make everyone so proud.) After a few minutes of shaking my hand like crazy to get whatever was in the bag off of me, I reach in again. This time, I pull out a cloak but I continue to search for my jacket. I continue to look when I see that there are recent foot prints around where my jacket once was.
"…Where's my jacket?" I ask myself as I wonder who could have lived and found my jacket. I grab my stuff as I place the cloak around me to disguise myself.
'Okay, first I have to find out if it's safe for me to look human. Then, I can search for Yakumo and the others…if they made it.' I say as I run to the nearby town.
Mushra's POV
I rush through town as I run with a mysterious blue cloth in my hands. I dodge people as I run to Kutal's restaurant (while snatching an apple) to show everyone.
"Boy, won't they be surprised to see this!" I shout as I approach the restaurant.
Sago's POV (in the restaurant)
I'm calmly leaning back on the chair, my feet on the table as Binka was washing the dishes. The kittens, Chen, Ray, and Este, were helping to dry and put them away. Kutal walks in while carrying his prized (though, not tasty) Cat Nip Soufflé, trying to be quiet as possible.
"Sago, you really shouldn't be sitting like that. You're going to fall over." Binka says quietly.
"Don't worry. I have perfect balance." I say as I lean over more when suddenly…
BANG!!
"Hey, you guys!" Mushra yells as he slams the door open, causing a chain reaction. Kutal's soufflé deflates as I fall over, knocking over Kutal in the process. He falls, throwing up his ruined soufflé, landing on Binka's head. She falls back, catching herself on the counter, but not before hitting the kittens by accident with her arm. They are shocked as they drop Kutal's precious china plates. Mushra is confused as we all glare at him.
"Uhh… I think I should-" he begins when he gets scared when Binka pulls out her bazooka.
"You run and you die." Binka threatens as he begins to sweat. After a few seconds later, the mess is cleaned, thanks to a horribly beaten Mushra, and we are sitting comfortably at the table.
"So what was it that you had to run in and shout for?" Binka asks. Mushra looks up from the floor and grins. He gets up as he picks up something from the ground.
"This!" he says proudly as he shows… a jacket. An old, dusty jacket.
"It's just a jacket. What's so important about it?" Chen and Ray ask.
"It's an antique. I found it lying around." Mushra says.
"Wouldn't that be trash then?" Este asks.
"No! It's dusty and in good condition so I can sell it for some cash." Mushra says.
"But what if it belongs to someone?" Kutal asks as Mushra looks at him annoyed.
"So what? Finders keepers, losers weep-" he begins when Binka gives him a death glare.
"If it belongs to someone, then we should return it. We'll ask around to see if it belongs to anyone. If not, then you can use it for whatever you want." Binka says as we get up. We all leave as Mushra grumbles about it being unfair. We split up as we search for the mystery owner.
Now the group is looking for the owner. Will it be a pleasant meeting or a battle? Find out in the next chapter: The Truth. Oh, please R&R, if you want to. Also, look at my profile to find out more about my other story. Bye!
