Everyone is awake when we get back except for Tiny, he was sleeping on some palm fronds. Our run from the police in Sandtown must have tired him out and he must have gone back to sleep after finding me and Erde. He always did amaze me by how fast he could fall asleep.
Essix looks up and sees us approach "There you are, now we can start planning."
Star smirks "Oh hey Erde, long time no see, you must have been catching up with Azula."
"Um yeah sure..." Erde says while rubbing the back of his head embarrassingly.
Star's smirk turns into a smile. I shoot her a "shut up before I rip you limb from limb" look and she doesn't say another word, but she continues smiling.
"Ok everyone gather round because we need to make a game plan." Essix says. Everyone comes closer and she continues "So we know that we're going to the top of Mt. Stag, but we don't know exactly what we're going to get into at the top. Anyone got any ideas?"
Erde raises his hand slightly "Maximo should be able to pull up the blueprints of Madam Silverclaw's base on his laptop, and Razor should be able to give you guys some cover."
"Great, so that means we have to detour all the way across the Stag Sea to Palancar and then go to Plasma Land, which I don't even know where that is." Star says sarcastically.
"Actually they're both camping not too far from here. They wanted to watch the stars and see the great eagle constellation rise in the sky tonight. I'm sure they won't mind helping you out, especially since you guys saved Maximo from that creepy lab rat." Erde replies.
"Well that's even better, we get two for the price of one." Briggan says enthusiastically.
I shake my head "Bro I love you, but I have heard better quips from a dead fish."
"Well that's harsh." Erde says.
"He knows I love him. That's just how I show love, I insult you." I reply. I elbow Erde and smirk "You of all people should know that stupid."
Star comes over "So are you coming with us Erde?"
"I can't. I need to stay here; Anzo and his gang of thugs have been running rampant lately and I need to make sure that they don't steal the jewel of life out of the oasis." Erde replies.
"Aww that's too bad, Azula was really hoping that you'd be able to come. Now she'll probably miss you." Star says.
I take my fist and pop Star hard in the shoulder. She recoils and rubs it gingerly. "Ow that hurt you know!"
"Good. I warned you earlier to shut up, but you obviously didn't listen to it, so now you're paying the price." I say defensively.
