"GO!!!!!!" yelled out Miss Kayla, all the students immediately bolted towards the opening gates, each with their own thoughts, motivation and emotions, "So what's the plan?!!!" asked a sprinting Earl, "hold on a second, we need to gain some ground on everyone first!!!!" yelled Ruby as she ran on ahead of the group, she then came to an abrupt stop, turned around, and placed both her hands on the floor, lying in wait, as the team caught up to her, the earth underneath their feet blasted out into a pillar, and in an instant, the five of them found themselves airborne, flying over the gate, "This wasn't part of the plan!!!!!!" yelled Henry as he clung onto Sidney tightly, with tears flying out the side of his eyes, "you know he's not wrong!!!" said an oddly calm Sidney, "um... do you have a plan to get us down?!!!!" asked Earl, who clung onto Annie tightly, with tears also running down the side of his face, "I'm sure she has a plan!!!" yelled Annie, who also c

"Okay Phoenix, lets go make it up to them" said Earl, Phoenix, who was sitting on his head gave a hearty caw in response. "Alright" Earl said as he approached the massive gates that sat in-between him and the snowy Taiga.He stood in front of it, looking at the massive gates for some time, before walking over to the walls beside it, "guess scaling the gates will be a lot easier than scaling the wall" said Earl, as he walked back over to the gates.Earl then squatted as he prepared himself, he looked up at the pointed end of the gate, and had a an anxious sweat run down the side of his face.'really hope I don't end up stabbing myself in the butt' Earl thought to himself as he planted his feet firmly into the ground.And using all the strength in his legs, he leaned forwards slightly, and vaulted over the gates, barely avoiding the sharp spikes at its tips.He then landed safely on the other side, feeling both proud and alleviated, "that could've been bad" said Earl as he once again l

Earl and Jake stood in front of Christopher and Damian in confusion."uhh... Damian, what are you doing here?" asked a confused Earl, Damian who had a a flat look on his face let out a sigh before answering. "seeing as I lost to a fair maiden, I viewed myself as weak and decided to train when everyone was asleep" said Damian."fair maiden?!!" asked Jake in confusion, "He means Ruby" said Earl."exactly...." said Damian, "but in the middle of my training, I heard a loud crash and met up with Chris before arriving" he continued before tilting his head slightly to the side."is that a Krix?" asked a confused Damian, "was that what caused the loud sounds we heard?" asked Christopher as he walked closer to the dead beast."so Jake is able to kill even a Krix all by himself?" asked Damian as he too approached the fallen corpse."I'm flattered, but it was Earl who killed that thing, not me" said Jake as he began walking off.Damian, Christopher, and Earl all stood in silence as they heard w

Earl stood afar, seeing the treasure he was looking for right in front of him, "alright, just have to rush over there and grab it!!" said Earl.He then proceeded to hype himself up and limber up slightly as he prepared for the next action.As he planted his feet firmly, he immediately dashed out towards, the fountain, however, he noticed his body weight reduce, and time slow."third eye" said Earl as he swiftly shifted his face to the left, avoiding a sharp crystal shard flying past his face.'what the?!!!' thought Earl as he stepped backwards, before locking eyes with a face he recognised, bit hadn't seen all too often.'that's the girl that always follows crystal!!' thought Earl as he uttered "master's call", protruding his sword out of his left hand."I'll be taking that!!" said Suzuki with a stern expression as she locked eyes with the item atop the fountain.While she shifted her gaze up at the hazel eye of the beholder, Earl had unconsciously looked up at it as well.Using this

Earl and Suzuki sat silent in the cave, their backs faced one another, as each faced a different directions with different things on their minds.The cave in which they sat in was the same one Earl had spotted earlier, and despite its small entrance, it had a spacious inside, which was light up by a huge opening in the roof.After pitching the idea to the crying Suzuki, she threw a tantrum, and the two ended up arguing for about an hour, before Earl awkwardly carried Suzuki on his back into the cave.After dropping her, they argued for another 10 minutes, which resulted in their current positions.'The atmosphere's awkward now, I should say something' thought Earl. 'My leg seriously hurts, how much longer till this dumb exam is over?' thought Suzuki.Both still sat silent in the cave, till Earl got up from his seated position and turned over to the cave's entrance.Suzuki, who sat idly before, heard his footsteps and turned over, "Where are you going?" she asked."I'm going to go find
