"Huh? What do you mean six others?" Basil questioned.
"What are you talking about? No one said anything about six others!" Wes shouted. Basil patted the air to calm him down.
"Lunas told me." Basil explained. "Wait, Kango doesn't talk to you?" Wes gave him a dumb look.
"Of course not! Though I wish he could!" He said getting very pumped up. Naturally. You see as the Moon Guardian you spot small important details others would normally miss and use that to be two steps ahead. Foresight is the role of the Moon Guardian. The Sun Guardian's role is to burn and illuminate like the raging sun. Lunas explained. Basil nodded in understanding.
"So Wes you said you were training. Training for what exactly?" Matt changed the topic.
"I'm not exactly sure. But there's something about this place that brings out your fighting spirt!" Wes said pumping himself up again. Basil thought about it for a minute to realize he was right. He did feel more pumped ever since he got here. Charging a giant boulder? He would have never done that back at home. What caused it and why? The voices and Lunas said I need to find five others excluding myself and Wes. Are the same feeling? Are they training?
"Hey Lunas you said there were five more I needed to find. So what are their elements? That might help me find them." Basil asked. The others are Sky, Ground, Rain, Lightning, and Storm. Who they are or where they are beyond me. Basil crossed his arms.
"So we're looking Sky, Ground, Rain, Lightning and Storm Elemental Ring holders." He thought out loud. "And there's no guarantee that they found their partner's yet."
"Oi, that reminds me! I saw this enormous dark storm cloud across a huge mushroom gorge!" Wes said or shouted pointing behind Basil. Mushroom gorge? What did that mean?
"In order to find the rest of the elements we'd better split up. Matt and I will search the place with the storm cloud while Wes you check out the west. I wished we had some way to communicate but I guess the best we can do is find each other again." Basil suggested. They nodded in agreement. Lunas and Kango zipped back into their boxes. Wes waved so long and ran off.
"How could you have never told me about him?" Basil finally asked him.
"You never asked." Matt replied. Basil gave him a look that said: you can't be serious! Matt laugh in his friendly way.\
"So Wes said that the gorge was that way." He turned his head around.
It was a long but they finally made it the gorge Wes was talking about. And now he understood what Wes meant by Mushroom gorge. The gorge looked like an endless bottomless pit with by far the biggest mushrooms yet!
"Wow Wes wasn't kidding when he said this was huge!" Basil said amazed at the sight.
"Guess we get across over the mushroom tops." Matt said. "Mom would kill us if she knew what we were doing!" He laughed. Basil nodded in total agreement. Not in ninety billion years would she let them do something like this without any safety equipment. Normally he felt like she was just being a mom in trying to keep them safe, but this time he totally agreed with her.
"Well we're not going to get anywhere by standing here." Matt tested the top with his foot. Seeming satisfied he hopped on.
"Come on! These things are ridged!" He waved Basil to fallow. Basil took one more glance down then jumped on. These things were so big they could easily hold ten people on top. As they hopped along they sparked a conversation. They mainly talked about what was going on and their next move.
"I wish we knew what the boss is even up to or even his name." He said bounding to the next mushroom top.
"Agreed. It feels like with every answer we get, we get ten more questions to add to the list." Matt said looking back at him. "Like why is my ring different from yours but the shot produced the same flames as Wes?"
"From what I understand you and Wes both have Sun class flames, yellow, while mine is moon so it's purple. And flame class has different properties that suit its role." Basil explained the best he could.
"So what's the properties of the Sun flame?" Matt questioned. Basil shrugged in answerless,
"Don't know."
"I just want to get this done so we can go home." Matt said an unusual stern voice, stopping Basil in his tracks. "Basil what's up?"
"Matt, life is never going to be the same again. I don't think it ever was supposed to be for me. I remember how I was supposed to have died! Dad and the others think I'm dead! My partner is a telekinetic owl for crying out loud!" Basil said truly realizing how crazy his life had become in less than seven days. "I wonder how Mom going to handle the news about me being dead and you missing." He sighed depressed.
"You wanna know the major flaw I see in that sentence? You talking like we'll never get home. We gotta keep moving! You are probably the only one who can beat the boss! We need to get home for Mom and Dad. And besides if we don't get home that give Bridgette all-access pass to snoop and take our stuff! I don't know about you but I don't want to have Bridgette in my room without me in it!" Strangely enough Matt's strange speech did make him feel better.
"Thanks Matt! I'm glad you're here with me!" Basil said sincerely.
"Of course we're more than brothers, we're best friends!" Matt flashed his famous smile and laugh. Don't worry Dad, we'll find a way back to you!
