Earth Warriors (Undergoing Revision)

Chapter 5.1 - New Friends, New Foes

 August 14th, 08:40 PST

Back on Stanislaus National Forest, everything looks normal so far. Still so green and shiny, even with the destruction caused by the Zlocan patrols. In a wooden house, the four heroes take a rest in there. They may have new powers, but there is always a rest after a fight.

Tany is the first one to wake up, making a long yawn that nearly wakes up the others.

Her hair is a bit ruffled but still as nice it can be. Her eyes open gently, revealing some tired yet with some hint of confidence as well. She picks up her magic staff. Why? Some fun perhaps?

She starts poking the other three with the orb attached to the staff, all while rubbing it on their faces. She smiles for a bit, she may know the consequences of doing that but at least she can have some fun in doing so. That's all she needs.

It works, but at the cost of Seiner's mood. He wakes up, groaning while looking for his glasses on the nearby table near the bed. Once he puts his hands on them, he sets his sights on what he thinks Tany is based on the figure, his eyes almost shut and scowling at what he is seeing.

"Good morning sleeping beauties!" she says while shoving them around in their beds as they wake up.

"Hold on now," Seiner says as he adjusts his glasses and keeping his glance towards Tany with a scowl on his face. Despite this, she still gave him a gleaming smile.

"How was your goodie nice sleep?!"

"Ugh, gimme a break Tany, do we look like beauties at this moment? And yesterday was plain bollocks, to begin with," Seiner replies.

Logan then wakes up as well, yawning for a little but pretty less irritated than Seiner. Unlike Seiner, he opens his eyes wide enough to see and greets Tany with a slight smile on his face.

"I had a dream, a dream of being asleep in a way that I like it. Until something magical poked my cheek. It's a good morning...to be alive at least. Don't you think?" Logan replies, this time with a more gentle tone.

As for Amira, she wakes up while adjusting her hair and turning around for a little bit to look around. She turns around to see the three of them, all while they stare back at her in curiosity. After a brief moment of awkward silence, she responds.

"I'm good, thanks, Tany. Now to think about it...sleep is just as common in this Earth-like as in other planets as well," Amira replies in a curious tone.

"OK, I like to hear that! Lots of new surprises to learn and get excited about our enjoyment! Anyways, what's today's plan?" Tany says as she turns her head back and forth.

"Well, we have two plans to be exact. One: We must find other people who are strong enough to stand against the Zlocu in this area, and if possible, reunite with the remaining armed forces in the country and try to convince them to let us join them," Logan says.

"And what's number two, may I ask?" Seiner says.

"Find some breakfast before we starve the hell out of it. I truly mean it! It's just like what the camp said, always be ready for food before a journey."

"Oh yes indeed Logie, I hope we can eat some delicious pancakes or better yet eggs before we start this beautiful journey! Let's go find a nice place for it while we can!" Tany replies as she leans towards him and caresses his hair.

"That could be quite nice Tany. But there's just one problem, one which...oh screw it, we don't have money and there are no restaurants here."

"Can't we teleport to a goodie one then!?"

"Uhhhh, they may be already destroyed I'm afraid."

"Awwww..."

"Don't worry, I bought some apples from yesterday, " Seiner replies.
