"Let's rest for some time"Aviva said leaning against a tree.
The rest looked at each other and agreed.
"True, we've been moving for a week now,what could a little time out do"Kyle spoke as he sat down.
The rest eventually sat down too.
"Jude"Evette spoke"how long till we get there?"
"We're not far,I think three days more"Jude replied.
"Great"
"Let's play a game"Aviva smiled.
"Okay, what game?"Evette asked.
"Um, I know, would you rather"she beamed.
She was about to speak again but stopped when she heard the ruffling of bushes behind them.
Jude stood up"you guys play,I'll go check it out"
They nodded and continued
"I'm coming"Ciara stood up and left.
~~~~~~~~~~
"You're not playing the game"Jude asked Ciara,he was standing beside a tree.
"No,I'm not in the mood"she stated.
He didn't respond.
"since we're here,let's spar"
Jude was surprised but he still agreed.
Ciara surrounding herself with a stream of water and ran towards him, repeatedly striking punches once she was in front of him.
The punches were quick but Jude dodged all of them,blocking some.
Ciara jumped backwards and sent a stream of water straight at him once she landed.
Jude created a black hole,after swallowing the stream of water shot at him,the hole closed.
He created multiple shadow blades and shot them at her at once.
Ciara created an ice dome,the blades were fast,they broke through this dome,she watched in shock as the dome broke, pieces of ice flying around.
"How did he break it" she thought silently as she created a circular ice blade, shooting it forward towards him.
Jude dodged the blade,Ciara saw this and brought the blade backwards.
The blade came flying back,it couldn't hit him because he had created a huge shadow hand, blocking the blade before the hand held the blade and snapped it.
Ciara shot out multiple tendrils of water at him.
He created multiple black holes swallowing every tendril she had shot.
He opened them behind her,the tendrils rushed at her.
She froze them, stopping their movement.
She was about to run towards him but she couldn't,it's like her legs were frozen. She looked at him"what did you do?"
"I froze your shadow,you can't move"
She tried raising her legs up but she couldn't.
"Nice one, your getting better with your ability"
He unfroze her and walked past her in the direction of the rest"let's go,the rest must be wondering where we are by now"
She nodded and followed him.
~~~~~~~~
"Damn, I'm tired Yasmin,we've been walking,I think we should rest"Alura sat down cross legged without waiting for her response.
Yasmin rolled her eyes"you could have least waited for my response"
"Ya Ya,sit down Yas, don't be so stuck up"Alura laughed disregarding the fact that Yasmin was serious.
"How many days do we have till we reach the outskirts Yas"Yona asked as she sat down leaning against the tree.
The bushes ruffled,the gang listened carefully,to their surprise,arrows shot out hitting the tree behind them.
Yasmin sucked in a deep breath,she glanced from the arrows to where they had been shot from getting ready to attack.
The others got up getting ready to attack,a figure popped out from the bush.
She looked weak and battered"help my village please"she fell down at their feet.
Their eyes widened as they looked at the little girl.
They looked at each other silently.
"Are we going?" Vida cut the silence.
Yasmin nodded surprising them"Hugo get the girl,change of plans, we're going to help the village"
"Master Layton will be mad if he finds out"Yona argued.
"He won't find out then"Hugo picked up the girl tossing her over his shoulders.
"Let's go"Yasmin leapt forward,the rest following suit.
~~~~~~~
Their eyes widened as they watched the scene before them,the village was in flames, people running Helter skelter scared.
Yasmin tightened her fist"we need to help them out"
"How, some of our powers cannot be used here"Vida spoke.
"Ryzen,Ace,Enzo and I will help with the fire,the rest of you save the people"
"I don't get it, when did we become heroes"Alura asked.
"This is not about heroes,it's about our humanity"Enzo spoke.
The rest nodded in affirmation before leaping into action.
"Enzo,do you think you can put off the fire with your sand?"Ryzen asked. Enzo nodded,he held his hands forward, summoning multiple sand storms, quenching the fire.
Vida heard a scream,she turned around, seeing a little girl on the floor crying, flames surrounding her. She ran to her"hey,are you okay?, don't worry you'll be fine,let's go"she supported the girl, helping her walk.
"Ace"Yasmin called out as she used her glass to protect people from being harmed.
He shuffled his deck of cards,a card with a picture of rain on it flew out before ascending to the sky.
The sky darkened,the villagers watched in surprise as the rain fell quenching the fire finally.
"Nice one"Yasmin smiled.
The villagers were happy,the fire they thought was endless had finally been put out.
Hugo returned the girl that had called for help back to her parents.
"Thank you so much,I'm sorry for shooting the arrows,it was the only thing I could think of"the girl hugged him tightly,he was surprised but still gave a small smile.
"You should stay for some time"a man who introduced himself as the chief spoke.
"No need,we have urgent business to attend to,be safe"Yasmin replied.
The villagers watched in awe as Enzo wrapped them in sand before they disappeared back to where they had been before they went to rescue the villagers.
"It's good we saved the village"Yona spoke once they had arrived.
"It's even better no life was lost"Vida spoke and Yona nodded, she turned to Yasmin"should we keep moving?"
"Yes,let's go"She started walking,the others stayed still as if contemplating.
Vida waved her hand and a huge paper bird appeared carrying them all on their back.
"Why didn't you do this before Vida" Alura who had made herself comfortable spoke.
"I didn't think about it then"she replied as the bird continued flying in the direction they were heading.
