Episode 187 - The Mad Explosive in the Gaping Sea

The whole group was split into three and the main focus is now based on the Druskane Continent. Matt and Alex decided to battle each other before reaching Tigre Village. At this point, the main group split into two to catch up to Rowen, but Whistel Continent is much more complicated to deal with. From here, Yessenia’s group was able to locate Jen and Joseph, but there are more people who are missing on this continent. Matt’s group headed up the dangerous steep mountain of Trinity Top and Yessenia’s group had to walk through a long, freezing road. Meanwhile, Shirley’s group headed closer into the Greyton Oasis. At this point, Yessenia’s group is luckily saved by a girl named Julie in Feather Mountain. With the two groups rejoined, they head back to Taiger Village.
Episode 187 – The Mad Explosive in the Gaping Sea

            “Ah! Something’s wrong!” The girl with green hair pointed towards the ocean. It was Van. She stood alongside her two best friends, Maggie and Jenny, who were considered sisters to her. “Do you see that over there?!”
            Jenny placed her right hand over her mouth. Maggie shook her friends. “Oh my god!! Is that a tsunami?!”
            Amy headed over to the group of three girls. “A tsunami… only an earthquake or large storm could have caused this.” Some of the townspeople were surprised. At this point, most of the city was being restored with the help of the students’ powers.
            Shirl was standing behind Amy with her hands across her chest. Amy turned around, noticing that Shirl is focusing on something. Amy said to her, “Shirl, please stop what you are doing. You have done enough.” She said in a worried tone.
            Shirl frowned. “I…! I have to! I have used some of my chrono powers to reverse the time of these buildings. It worked, right? I don’t care if it exhausts me. If I reverse this tsunami, I can protect the city. I can protect… what I once destroyed…!”
            Amy shook her head. “But what about you?”
            Michael and Bunhong were calculating the amount of materials needed for the next building. Alice sat down, watching them. Shirl continued to speak. “If I don’t do something, then the city will be destroyed again!”
            Amy said to the group, “Then I will try something. Maybe creating large plants can soak up the tsunami!”
            “And I could try using extra powerful webs!” Maggie added.
            “They’re useless.” Van joked.
            “Oh what?!”
            Shirl slowly walked away from the group without their notice. She placed her hands over her chest. “I will do it… The others must be in trouble if there is a tsunami coming from that direction… Matt… you told me to live on forward. I will help you too.”

            The bomb began beeping faster. Kalpesh created the pegs to lock Stan’s large shield in place on their deck. “We barely have enough time now!”
            Yessenia stood next to them. “I will help. If it’s anything to do with trying to push that bomb away, things will be safer for us.”
            Alex agreed with her. “Fine, then I’ll do the same!” He began shaking the water in between the bomb and the Terris. “Maybe this Aqua Tornado will block it!”
            Julie gasped. “But bombs explode really fast! We won’t make it to the bottom deck if anything happens!”
            Lagi grabbed onto her. “Don’t worry, girl! I gotcha covered!” She sped towards the entrance to the deck as fast as a teleporter. Taiger did the same for Matt and Venus.
            Venus yelped. “ERAH! Don’t touch me up here!”
            “Sorry, it’s just all up in my face, I couldn’t avoid it!” Taiger blushed.
            Matt clenched his teeth. “Then why is your other hand grabbing me from down there?!”
            “T-THAT WAS A MISTAKE!” Taiger said angrily.
            “How many perverts have I met in this crazy world?!” Matt thought of Winny’s cousin.
            Their voices disappeared as they went further down the deck. Telgei took his time walking downstairs. The bomb’s beeping noise went extremely faster this time and eventually, time stopped ticking. It exploded and the particles began flying towards the group at extremespeed.
            Yessenia quickly created a Wind Counter which tried to bounce the particles back at where the bomb exploded. Alex’s water only took out some of the particles as it flew into the sea. Yessenia could barely move. Kalpesh tried to create more pegs as fast as he could in case Stan needed more for the shield. Yessenia removed one hand from her effort on the Wind Counter to create another tactic at the same time. “Air Tornado!” She yelled as a gust of wind began clashing into some of the particles within the Wind Counter.
            Stan panicked. “Are you able to shatter all of them?!”
            Yessenia knelt down. “N-No…! I cannot…!” She fell back from the force and the rest of the particles flew onto Stan’s shield, causing his shield to crack a little.
            “Damn it!” Stan yelled. He tried to create a new shield but he could not make it in time.
            At the brink of time, a large thunderous flame flew from the sky and shattered the debris of the bomb. The whole group who was behind the shield fell on their backs. Matt and Venus gave each other a high-five. “I knew our combination would work!”
            Matt laughed. “And fire would of course mess up the particles. Your lightning helped make most of it shatter. Heh!”
            The dark mist around the sky began clearing up. Due to the explosion, the clouds have dispersed in a large circle, enlarging and expanding. The sun was bright and the whole sea became calm again. The whole group watched happily as the warmth filled their faces. Alex began scratching his hair vigorously. “We almost died right there! Eeeyah.”
            From below the deck, Tony watched through the window. “T-They… survived the explosion?! How…?!”
            Jaime returned to where Tony stood. “You just had to trust them.”
            Kalpesh and Stan began laughing together. Matt and Venus started yelling at each other, wondering who to give the final credit to. After all, both Matt and Venus stopped the last explosion together. Alex watched Yessenia still in wonder.
            Yessenia said to herself quietly. “Still… That does not solve the problem with the Peridot soldiers already heading to Druskane Continent before us… We have to move on fast…”
 ~~~
            At the top of the cliff from where Shirley was standing, she could almost see the other side of Cranium Heights and the Greyton Oasis. “O-Oh my gosh…! Dalstidia is…!”
            Huy began panicking. “The whole city just… slid into a hole… or a pit?!”
            Shirley ran in circles. “This is no earthquake! This is hell breaking loose! Can’t you see?! All those people who live in Dalstidia are going to die!!!”
            “At the very least, many people are just going to be injured. Not many will die.” Omar assumed.
            Peter placed a hand over his panda forehead. “But the city just went about several meters down through the ground level.”
            “But that’s it. Barely anything is collapsing. If we do not do something, it will continue however, and Dalstidia will fall into total abyss.” Omar responded.
            “I DON’T THINK WE DID A GREAT JOB!!!” A student yelled from inside the cave.
            Thuy took a step back. She was getting closer to the cliff. “That sounds like your friend, Joey.”
            Shirley placed a hand over her forehead. “Ugh… He’s always yelling.”
            Suddenly, Joey and Danny ran out of the collapsing cave. “We’re gonna die. We’re gonna die. We’re gonna dieeee!!!!” Danny said repetitively.
            Shirley screamed along with him. “GEEEYAAAH! Why are they running into us?!” Joey and Danny crashed into Shirley who was the only one who did not get out of the way. The three of them began sliding down the high, hypotenuse-like ledge. “AHHH! What are you doing?! STOP IT!!!”
            The three of them began spinning each other accidentally in a circle. Danny gripped onto Joey while Joey gripped onto Shirley and Shirley grabbed Danny’s leg. Huy stared at them who were sliding vigorously to the bottom. “Do you guys think they’re okay?”
            “Probably.” Omar said bluntly.
            Thuy blushed. “Sh-Should we… go down too?”
            Omar pointed to the left. “There are steps. How convenient.”
            Peter yawned. “Ah… we should have told them about the steps sooner.”
            “Doesn’t hurt us, right?” Huy added as he started walking. Nobody seemed to care.
 ~~~
            Matt’s group arrived at the Dalstidian port. Well… what was left of it, at least. The Terris ship was docked as close as possible, but there was no proper rail to reel them onto the docks. Matt and Jen were next to each other, watching closely. Matt grabbed onto the bars that blocked him from falling off the deck, “Ugh! Dalstidia is falling apart. Why?!”
            Yessenia was behind him. She thought about it carefully. “It must have been triggered by something. What could it be? Something that has to do with destroying a whole city… a whole continent…”
            Venus stepped onto the ground several times. “Come to think of it, I do feel a little shaking below us.”
            Matt turned around. “Destroy a whole continent? What could possibly…”
            Alex interrupted them with the snap of his finger. “Yes! That’s right! The spirit girl from the Cranium Heights said something about that!”
            “You mean Thuy?” Matt questioned.
            “Yeah, her! She said that she could never leave her spot, or else she would die.”
            Julie gasped. “Oh my goodness… how does she even eat?”
            “Never mind that. Something must have happened to her!” Alex said.
            Matt shook his head. “I don’t think so… would her leaving, lead to herself dying? How is the continent going to be destroyed?”
            Yessenia scratched her head. “You say ‘spirit’… What is this spirit exactly?”
            Matt shrugged. “Eh. She called herself the ‘Spirit of Elsiya’. I don’t know.”
            “If that is the case, then…!!” Yessenia grabbed onto the rails.
            Venus took a step forward. “Wait, what are you doing?!”
            “That’s dangerous!” Lagi said as she got up onto the deck. “Taiger, stop her before she jumps off the ship!”
            However, the ship already made a large shake. Everyone on the group fell from surprise besides Yessenia. Taiger, Telgei, Jaime, Winny, and Tony were all below the deck still. Matt and Jen were sliding off the ship since they were closest to the edge. Matt held onto the rails with his right hand while he grabbed Jen with his left hand. “Hold on!” Matt said, clenching his teeth. “You’re pretty heavy!”
            “Excuse me?! That’s not something you would say at a time like this, Matt!” Jen yelped.
            Yessenia was leaning over the rails on the opposite end. This stopped her from falling off. “Do you guys need my help?”
            “What does it look like here?!” Matt yelled at her.
            “Well grab on!” Yessenia gave her hand to them. The ship shook once more.
            Lagi ran over to the other end of the ship to check the sea water. “Oh my goodness. Elsiya is becoming angry. I can feel it.”
            Venus and Alex sat down next to each other. “What are you talking about?” Venus wondered.
            “Without the spirit, Elsiya is nothing!” Lagi was astonished. “We have to bring that spirit girl back!”
            “Well then which way do you think she escaped to?!” Alex asked quickly.
            Matt and Jen eventually fell into the sea, but luckily nearby the shore. Yessenia stomped her foot. “Damn it! Everybody, take the ship to Tigre Village. Follow the Peridot soldiers. We will handle the eastern side of the Cranium Heights while you guys handle the western side starting with Tigre Village. We have to find that spirit girl either way!”
            Julie cried. “But what about you two and Matt?!”
            “Why are you singling out Matt?” Alex rolled his eyes.
            “Because I feel like it! I hope you make it out okay!!” She screamed at them as the three students were now in the sea closest to Dalstidia.
            Lagi punched the rails. “Dang it, we just lost three students!”
            Telgei walked up to the deck calmly. “What lively children, oho. Let them be.”
            “How can you be so calm, elder?!”
            Taiger came out after Telgei. “Telgei has the sense of a hawk. He knows which kids have the spirit to move onward without destruction. They ordered us to head over to our village. We will listen to them.”
            Lagi was worried. “You believe in them that much?”
            Telgei chuckled. “Ohoh. Of course, my dear.”
            Lagi watched the rest of the students who were still on deck. “These kids… amazing…”
 ~~~
            Matt and Jen eventually fell onto the shore. He tried to hold onto her. The both of them were coughing out water. Yessenia bounced right out of the sea with the help of her wind powers. She stood tall and proud. Jen sat up next to Matt. “Geez… that was terrifying…”
            Matt tried to laugh. “Ahah… it was fun though, I guess. So much danger, but we made it out alive!”
            Jen began laughing nervously. “Even if it was dangerous, I guess you could say it was fun.” The two of them began laughing together like two little children.
            Yessenia watched them. She began chuckling. “Even at a time like this, huh. Hmhm.” She shook her head. “On a serious note! You two, we must figure out what is going on in Dalstidia!”
            Matt watched as many people were running around town. “It seems pretty bad here…”
            “It’s even hot out at night…” Jen frowned.
            Yessenia examined the area. “There is also someone we need to find.”
            Matt agreed with her. “Oh yeah! We need to find the spirit girl, Thuy!”
            “Thuy… is she really that important as a spirit girl of Elsiya? How did this happen?”
            “I don’t know… but whatever it takes, we must find her! Jen, Thuy was our childhood friend too. We can’t just leave her be!”
            Jen agreed with him with pride. “Right!” The three students began heading into Dalstidia.
