The Roaming Storm

S1E6: The Hunt is On ...for Wild Hunt

ACT I [EXT. / ANGOLAN SAVANNAH / AFTERNOON]

After the defeat of the Tsetse Nightmare, resulting from the explosion of the Soldier Droids, Umeme, Radi, Friska, and Doc are busy bringing all the pieces of the Nightmare into the large open trunk of the Hopper hovercraft. While Friska does so in a formal yet struggling manner, and Doc carries multiple pieces with relative ease, Umeme and Radi find time to make a little game out of it. As they each use their speed to create miniature cyclones, with enough wind to carry a set number of shards and place them in the trunk. Rinse, wash, repeat.

Radi: [scouts around for some more, but is soon quick to notice that there's pretty much no more] Huh, guess we're all done.

Umeme: [speeds over to Radi] Well maybe you're all done, buuut [reveals something from behind his back] whoever brings in the last shard has to be the winner, right? Your words, not mine.

Radi: [looking down at something] Uh, Umeme? You've got a lil' somethin' crawling on your tail.

Umeme: Wait, w-what? [frantically turns to check while his fur stands on end] Is it a bee?!

Radi: [swipes the shard while he's distracted] Yoink!

Umeme: [turns back] Hey!

Radi (still in flight mode) tosses the Nightmare shard up into the air. And as a means to cancel out its weight, he shoots a lightning bolt directly at it to add some extra air, now heading straight for the trunk. Radi then proceeds to turn around, cross his arms, and close his eyes -- awaiting the sweet sound of a clear shot from such a far distance.

Radi: Nuttin' but net in 3... 2... [is greeted to the sound of shattered glass instead]!! (sucks teeth)... 2½?

Umeme: You know you just went up, right?

Radi turns back around to see that "his" shard hit the windshield piece of the hovercraft instead of its trunk, leaving a rather wide and noticeable crack resembling a spider's web. Friska, who's right next to said craft, spots the speedsters from far away with a peeved glare. And even though the culprit's rather obvious, Radi slowly points his finger over to Umeme. Only for the cheetah to quickly slap it away beforehand.

A few minutes later, and the group of four are now well on the move.

Friska: [can't help but ponder] So, just to recap. We're heading straight towards a black meteorite that suddenly transformed into a ziggurat, housing monsters?

Radi: Hey -- if there's anything better we could be doing, I'm all ears.

Friska: Okay, and what about Terra?

Umeme: Haven't heard back from her in a while now. Let's just hope she's... [sees something from far away] wait... 

Far in the distance, a glimmer of green light shines brightly as it closes in quickly towards the gang. Umeme, following the other three as they notice as well, puts their high speed venture on halt. Despite the rather alarming speed of the green light, the group of four recognize that glow from anywhere -- Terra. The jellyfish makes a swift yet graceful descent to the ground, appearing before Umeme, Radi, and company.

Umeme: And here I thought we'd be coming to you. What happened?

Terra: ... It's all gone.

The four respond with wide-eyed surprise (well... technically just three).

Friska: [exits her hovercraft alongside Doc] Wait, for real? Like, "gone" gone?

Radi: Already?! Aw man, ya' could've at least saved some for the rest of us!

Umeme: (chuckles off Radi's disappointment) Guess I had nothing to worry about. (to Terra) So how'd ya do it?
