"And off he goes."

At least I think that's a he.

Lemres watched as Greninja sprung into action, trying to lead him out. He followed Raffine along down into the forest. The meadow is nice and all, but he can't just live here. He might drop by when a mission calls for it.

So far so good. The two of them are making good progress on trying to get out of the forest. At this pace, they'll be out in record time. Keep it up!

The ninja frog slowed down a bit, taking his allies into thought. They couldn't be as nimble as he was, so he needed to at least take them in consideration as he covered the terrain. ...Well, unless the situation would really call for a speed-up. Greninja thought for a swift moment the next curve they needed to make...oh, yes, that one.

"Grenin, ninja. (A bit more than one third done.)" He muttered to himself. Looks like they were covering up the place fast. That was a good sign.1d20+3

"He does move quite fast; I just wish he could speak as well." Raffine lamented as she jogged to keep up. She certainly wasn't lagging behind in the running department, her body having been toned back up into a healthy status rather quickly thanks to her regular training regime. "Here's hoping we can find Ms. Accord once we're out of here. She can probably help us find our way home." Raffine mused aloud as she ran.

Progress is a bit slower, but steady enough for Lemres to keep up. Being already halfway across the woods, there's a little crack in the tree formation that shows the bleaker side of the world, in stark contrast of the meadow. It's almost a shame Lemres is leaving the meadow, but he's the one requesting some civilization, somewhere...

4LkwdJTcp_1d20+3(And Greninja just keeps going.)

The ninja frog kept a consistent pace so far. If he kept this up, they'd reach their destination in no time. It was kind of sad that he wanted to leave the second safest place on Li, but...after what just happened to him, Greninja could not blame the man for wanting out. Well, they were almost halfway through, fortunately. Hopefully, everything would turn out to be fine.1d20+3

The bleakness that was the gravely injured planet Li was certainly a far cry from the de facto most hospitable place available to visit, but Raffine has seen far more traumatizing things on her arrival. She was hardly considering what Lemres must be thinking, getting his first real taste of despair. What was important was that they didn't linger in no-man's-land for too long, lest something stumbles across them with nothing better to do than eat her foot.1d20+2·1d20-4

"Oh dear...this is what's beyond the meadow...?

Lemres was stunned at the starvia-torn world that continued to come within sight. It's definitely a far cry, and it's a wonder how and why the meadow isn't even affected by all of this. Movement is pretty steady, with a close call from Raffine. It won't be long until they reach the end of the woods.

Greninja's consistency with his speed was making things much easier. He wasn't too happy about returning to the desolate land he came to know, but hey, Lemres wanted out, so he would give him out.

"Grenin! (Almost there!)" He signalized to his allies.1d20+3

"This place we've wound up in is called 'Li', and it's not doing so well. Honestly, the woods back there were more beautiful than anything else I've seen since arriving." Raffine explained in a mildly troubled tone as she ran ot keep up, her luxurious hair trailing behind her in the wind. She seemed to be doing just fine at jogging. It was basically an afternoon cardio workout for her. "Apparently there are a lot of people fighting to save the planet, and it's not hard to see why. It's not safe out here either. There's a virus in the air called the 'starvia'. It has a very potent effect on your mind." Raffine went on in a matter-o-fact tone, as if she had some first hand experience with the subject.1d20+2

Lemres nodded as he listened to the story of the land. With something that alarming, he's more determined find the rest of the students before they become victims to the virus. How would their teacher react if he didn't come back with one of them because the virus had consumed them? At least until he finds a way back home, he's got a part to play in this world.

"I see. Well, it's all the more reason to head to wherever the shelter is. I've got a role to play here, and what you've informed of me is putting more reason to why I'm here. I can safely assume that shelter serves as base of operations for fending off this virus."

And if I'm right, rescue missions should be commonplace. After all, finding survivors is just as important as fighting back. One of them has to lead to one of the missing students.

((Don't choke guys! We're at the home stretch!))

ZzCAR9p1p_1d20+3(There we go, I cut off your slack, Raffine.)

Greninja managed to cross the homestretch and reach the spot in almost no time. With that out of the way, he simply sat down and waited for Lemres and Raffine to come by. He could only do so much as assume they were managing to tag along at this point.

Now it seemed to be the end of the mission, at least.1d20+3

"...That's right! I just got here myself, but I know it's not safe outside the Life Sphere." Raffine mused aloud as she jogged to keep up. It seemed like they were out of the forest, which meant that they only had the jog back to the life sphere to be concerned with. Ah well. What were the chances of anything interrupting them? ...Anything that could catch them, that is?

[Rina]

They're out of the woods... but Lemres took a look around, just to be safe.

...nothing to the left...

...nothing to the right...

...and nothing from above.

Nothing to worry about! They're completely out of the woods! Lemres looked onto the horizon to see the sphere in the distance. Looks like that's where he's headed now.

"Whew. Thanks for leading the way. Good thing we didn't get lost in there. So that's the Life Sphere, huh? I think I could manage my way back. Though, it'd take me a while unless I got my broom back together."

((Good job guys! Your characters now may exit stage right.))

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Greninja was glad no more fighting was on the book. As much as he enjoyed beating someone's face in on occasion, he really needed some alone time for himself. That's not to say Lemres or Raffine were a nuisance (...okay, maybe Raffine was just a little.), but there was something he needed to do.

"Greninja. Grenin. (You are welcome, Lemres. And farewell to you two.)" He said before bowing down and soon whoosed away from their line of sight, casually disappearing. Would they meet again? Only fate would uphold such answer.

[Greninja left the thread.]

[Mari]

"You and I both. I'll chalk it up to my evening work out~" Raffine replied light-heartedly. It seemed she'd likely be walking back with Schezo, a good practice given the not entirely impossible likelihood of them being attacked. Yet, they were destined for an uneventful walk back to the life sphere. This, of course, would be appreciated by Raffine.
