*I just saw the stats on view and couldn't be more glad. Even after I posted parts 2-4 I had viewers within the hour. As a treat I'm releasing this early. On Quotev it hasn't gotten published yet. Thank you for reading my progressing writing, you guys rock.
I looked down, counting down the time before I made impact. A second prior to hitting the top of a tree, I force jumped up to slow my impact. This allowed my to land near the trunk of the tree safely. I used my aura to block against the scratches of branches as I fell into the tree. I latched onto the trunk and leap off onto a nearby branch. On my way down I had seen where Leaf had been launched to. I quickly jumped from the tree, slowing my impact yet again and headed to the northeast.
As I ran I could feel the presence of someone approaching. As I got closer, I noticed it was a red aura. I dived into the bushes a second before a speeding blur of red ran past. I realized it was the scythe-wielder, whose name I had heard was Ruby. I got up once she was far gone and headed back to the northeast.
When I found her, I knew she had found me too. I ran through a grouping of bushes to see her baring down a pack of Ursa Grimm. There was around a dozen and all of them as deadly-looking as the next.
"This will be fun," Leaf said, "ready to take the 'first step?'" A grin was all she needed to know I was ready. I decided to try AR mode as I launched myself at the first ursa. Before striking it I fired a barrage of rounds into its head, weakening it to lessen the amount of force required to split it open. I quickly jumped over another, dodging its futile swipe at where I was standing before. I fired a few rounds into its head before decapitating the beast and landing on the other side of it. I looked over and saw Leaf using her shield-saber mod to decapitate the ursa. Her shield blocked the menacing blow of the ursa's claw as it fell to the ground, defeated.
The other ursa began their approach towards us and I mowed on down with my saber. With 4 remaining, we both charged at them, using are respective weapons to decimate the beasts. I looked back and saw the carnage we had left behind, several of the carcasses had already began to dissolve.
"Do you know where Ama or Mazon are?" Leaf asked. I shook my head. "Well we can at least get a better vantage point." We both ran along the side of a nearby tree. I hadn't gotten out in the field with my sister in quite some time and I had to say, I was enjoying it. She had a quite different attitude to it than before. When we reached the top of the tree, we couldn't see much but clouds and trees for miles around. I spotted the Temple about two miles or so to the West. It was near a large clearing.
'There," I thought. I had finally found someone. I sensed a green aura coming from a pit behind a clearing of trees. Before I vacated the brush I noticed that they weren't strong with the force. I stayed hidden as I watched the figure fight a King Tajita. The black head has decided to step out first but was no more, while the white one began circling him. While he was fighting, I noticed a pink aura above him. I could tell they weren't one of my companions. I watched as the green striker slowly weakened the snake's head before taking it out with a fatal blow. He shattered its head with sort of aura punch. I left the dou and headed back in the direction of Mazon's impact point.
I still was majorly pissed with the rest of the group in making us attend here. Leaf had really been a pain even when Ethan hadn't been around. His vote was quite ludicrous because he knows almost always that Leaf will sway the vote in his favor. I don't even think he knows that he is being unfair, He has it were the vote has to be 3-1 for someone to win. He does thing so differently than I would and that just angers me, but there is something about him that I can't place which makes me hate him more.
I ran through a tight grouping of trees when I sensed Mazon's aura. He seemed shocked despite most likely sensing me earlier.
"Ama, look," He said, pointing to a formation of mossy rock about a kilometer to the North. "That must be the structure Ethan told us about." I couldn't disagree, it did seem like the building, but I could also sense the Emerald's there.
"Well," I started, dragging Mazon towards it, " If you would use the force for once you could see that they are over there."
"What's this?" Leaf had found the temple and was examining the different 'relics' placed on their respective pedestals. "Which one do we get?" I saw that none of the chess pieces had been taken yet. I looked for my favorite piece, the queen and showed it to Leaf. She nodded and seemed to be suppressing a laugh. She hadn't always been like this. Before we left she was always so cold to me. She started to change after they took me. It was if she wanted to be there for me.
"Hey!" I saw Ama running towards the temple with Mazon lagging behind. I was going to alert them to the Ursa chasing after them, but it was soon to dead to be a threat. A girl with a pink aura stood disappointed atop it. I quickly noticed as Ama took the piece similar to mine that 3 more groups had all selected their pieces. Ama later told me a few arrived from the Nevermore. Speaking of the Nevermore, it and a Death Stalker were now in the vicinity.
Ruby had noticed the Death Stalker and was heading to take it out. I knew she wasn't going to get it the moment she made first contact with it. Her charge wasn't the greatest strategy. Ok, let me be serious, she was definitely trying...really hard. Yeah. The Nevermore seemed to sense the opportunity to pick of the weaker link of the group and was in route to at its efforts. I watched as the Nevermore fired some of its own wings - that must have hurt - at Ruby to catch her hood in it. I knew I couldn't stand by.
Before the Death Stalker could strike Ruby, I ran in and used my saber to sever its point. Ruby looked up in surprise to see me easily using Soresu to block the Stalker's swipes with its claws. Leaf jumped in and used the opportunity of its claws being occupied to land her sabers into its back. I watched the creature crumble before me. I turned around to see a girl in white had ran to the aid of Ruby.
"Let's go," I heard Leaf say as she ran after Ama. She apparently wasn't done with the Nevermore. I noticed a scrape along her leg from where I can only presume she was hit with one of its feathers.
There was an abyss ahead of us that lead to a large ridge. I saw her plan. I sped up to catch Ama though it took me a little while. She seemed to be enjoying her day in the field.
"Ama, say here with Leaf and Mazon. I'll take care of it."
"Just this once," I heard her say, but I knew she didn't want to play my part. I could understand that, it wasn't going to be easy.
Once we reached the platform, I broke apart from the group and started up the cliff. I used the force to power my stride and allow me to blaze up the hill. I looked back and saw the Nevermore approaching my companions. I quickly stopped and kicked off the side of the cliff, sending me sprawling toward the Nevermore. When it shattered the structure below, I had to dodge the rubble to reach it. I landed on its back, driving my ignited saber into it to stick the landing. The creatures flight path began to falter as it flew over the forest. I unsheathed my sword and headed for the birds head. I quickly drove my saber through its brain, causing it to start its plummet. I leaped off of the fallen creature and landed in the clearing near the temple.
"Ethan." I saw that my entourage had returned to the temple. "Next time let me get the bird." i chuckled at Leaf's request, not expecting anything less. I saw the others looking at us in awe. I knew they must have a few questions.
"I'll consider it."

Guys, guess what. I'm back. I will be adding another writing as well. This writing is a bit more...special and will be updated as I get this story back under control. It can be found on my extra account,(and I'm gonna call it the "lemon basket" for the time being), which is masterpaladin57. Peace out!
