Movement, 6

Tree took the jump and managed to grip onto the grass and pull himself up. That’s one level higher. “So why is this guy trying to kill you anyways?” Coiny yelled, “I think he’s tryna get all of us!” Coiny looked at the guy and they made eye contact. “Well shit.” He snatched Pin’s hand and they jumped to another floating platform nearby. Pin grabbed a rock and threw it at the miniac chasing them with a good throw, he sliced it straight in half. “Okay that’s just not fair.” Coiny was flabbergasted. “No time for whining babe!” “Wait babe?-” She grabbed his hand with force and they went to another platform that ended up going down. “Didn’t think we’d be doing life or death parkour here.” They continued hopping platform to platform along with Tree, trying to survive the maniac chasing them. Pin threw rocks at him every chance she got and some actually hit him but it didn’t stop him. “Pin, Coiny!” The two looked down and saw none other than Golf Ball. “Come down!” She yelled, “It’s too high!” Coiny yelled down and Gb scoffed. “Rather get stabbed?” He looked at Pin and she looked back, “Coiny.. Don’t you even think about it.” She scolded, “Gotta do what we gotta do.” “Coiny!-” He grabbed her and jumped down, not thinking twice. They both made it to the ground and Coiny groaned in pain, he landed on his leg. “C’mon!” Said Gb as she awaited for them to stand, clearly impatient. “Shit! I think he broke his leg!” Pin picked him up as he yelped, “Then carry him! We gotta get a move-on!” They ran. Trophy watched them and back at Black Hole and Tree. Might as well go for the easy target. Work smarter not harder. He started jumping platforms and chased after them. “Tree, is Biscuit alright?!” Bh anxiously asked. “Yeah, he’s-” Tree got interrupted at the feeling of the top of his head, empty. “He’s gone..”

Pin noticed the man not far behind, he was jumping in the air using the platforms, speaking of, there were so many craters in the ground it was hard to keep up or run without tripping every second. “Over here!” Gb led them to a cave and as soon as they went inside a boulder was pushed to the entrance by Tennis Ball. “We should be safe here.” She reassured, “Now let’s do something about that leg.” A fire was made and Gb had some vines and bark, trying her best to create some sort of cast using natural resources around them. “Gosh, I hope the others will be alright out there!” Pin exclaimed and let out a heavy sigh. “We have to trust them to keep themselves safe, but for now we need to watch and trust our own selves. Like how I need to trust Coiny to be still!” He squinted and bit his tongue when Gb pulled on his broken leg, “Gentle! It hurts.” She rolled her eyes as she finished the last touches on his new cast, a cast that looks horribly executed and uncomfortable, not to mention heavy. “Wow, that looks like ONE of a kind.” Pin joked, a chuckle could be heard from Tb. “Shut it, I tried my best. It’s hard with no arms and only neutral resources you know!” Pin scratched her neck nervously but couldn’t help but let out a laugh at Golf Ball’s pouty expression, neither could Tb. Gb blushed in embarrassment and hid herself in a corner, “No one takes me seriously!” She whined, “Don’t worry bossy bot, we’re just messing with ya! So Coiny, how does the cast feel?” He looked down at his cast and moved his leg to see if his leg was good but regretted it once a small shock of pain vibrated through his body. “Woah Coiny, your leg isn’t gonna heal immediately after the cast was put on. You gotta wait, let’s say, 3 to 6 months and if you’re lucky, 2 months.” Tb told him and his mouth dropped, “I can’t wait that long! What if I need to run away from something!” He yelled childishly, “Then one of us would have to carry you.”

Her legs were weak and her head was fuzzy. There were so many craters in the ground and she didn’t understand why, but she didn’t care anyways. The tiny sound of rumbling made her move faster, there had to be food, any would work even if they were yoyal berries. “Don’t worry Grassy, there’s food not far away from where we are.” She reassured the child on her head but she knew for a fact that what she said was probably false information. She didn’t know how far away the closest food source is nor where it was, but it’s better to give him hope than doubt. But then, something happened. A steak she could smell, a nice, delicious steak that reminded her of Gelatin’s Steakhouse. She drooled and followed the smell with desperation. She didn’t even question the fact she was in the woods. Swifting past the wildlife she made it to a field, it was small but on the bright side, there was a table in the middle of it with a delicious steak on it. She couldn’t wait any longer and sped-walk up to it but it designated into the air when shwas about to touch it. Basketball shook her head, there was no way she was hallucinating right now. It hasn’t even been that long since they were out here.
