Crynime: Encryption

Chapter 4: Waking Up

"Ugh..."

Sea-blue eyes blinked rapidly before adjusting to the new lighting.

Cry stared up at a bright, blue sky before sitting up.

Feeling the warm sun rays on his face, the brunet realized that his mask was missing.

"Fu~!"

Cry blinked in surprise before slowly turning his head to look behind himself.

A tiny, white figure stood there, holding Cry's mask in its mouth.

The creature had very tiny arms and it was about the size of Cry's palm.

"...A Sup-guy?"

The said creature nodded, its single hair bobbing on its head.

The Sup-guy giggled and and hopped over to Cry, holding the mask out.

Cry hesitantly took it before smiling as he placed it back onto his face.

"Thanks."

The Sup-guy smiled before hopping onto Cry's leg.

"Fu~!"

Cry smiled behind his mask as he cupped a hand for the Sup-guy to crawl onto.

"I'll just call you Sup for now."

"Fu~!"

Sup jumped onto Cry's hand, letting the other carry him.

Cry then raised his hand to his shoulder, where Sup hopped off and settled on his new sitting spot.

"Looks like it's just you and me for now..."

~~

Snake gazed at his surroundings, arms crossed in front of his chest.

He was currently in some sort of swampy area.

The brunet sighed before trudging through the muddy grounds.

"I hate my fire alarm."

~~

"Where the heck am I?"

Scott groaned and ruffled his hair.

He was on a rocky cliff somewhere, overlooking a bustling town below.

"I wonder if the others are here..."

~~

"Aw poop.  Where are we now?"

Russ sighed tiredly as he ran a hand through his hair; he glanced at his current companion.

"We are apparently in some sort of medieval timeline..."

Red pushed her glasses up slightly on her nose before brushing a red lock behind one ear.

The two gazed at the small town they were in.

People walked past them, sending curious looks to them and eyeing their clothes with confusion.

Russ and Red noticed the looks, and both came to a conclusion.

'Get new clothes and blend in before finding the others.'

~~

"Sigh...where could they be?"

Raven placed her goggles on her head as she scanned the area before her.

Mud was all over the place and Raven simply ignored it, trudging through the gunk.

Then there was a snap of twigs to her right; she immediately went into a fighting stance.

The bushes parted to reveal a certain dark-haired brunet.

"Oh!  Hey Snake!"

The taller brunet blinked in surprise before zeroing his gaze on Raven.

"Are you alright?"

Raven grinned.

"Yep~!  I'm good!"

Snake glanced around the area.

"...And the others...?"

Raven sighed and stuffed her hands into her pockets, rocking back onto her heels--not minding her boots sinking further into the mud.

"You're the first person I've run into so far."

~~

"Woah..."

Cry slowly widened his eyes as he looked around the area.

The brunet stepped closer to the edge of the grassy area he was on to get a better view.

There were large buildings, yes, but...there was nothing under them.

The buildings were simply...floating.

A city floating in the sky.

Now wasn't that something?
