Our Action Brothers
Smoke

"Why are these strange creatures completely invisible in this place?"

Arnius muttered slowly, but his voice was heard so clearly by Eiji and the others.

"I think there are a few possibilities. Among them was that they had absolutely no idea about this oasis, or that this place was indeed a forbidden place for them."

"That's possible. Did you see any suspicious signs or anything before entering this place?"

Arnius looked at each other. Everyone seemed to be silent and recollecting what they had missed.

"Is there something strange about the rocks?"

Kuma muttered slowly.

"True, let's check."

Kin Raiden rushed back to where he was, as they began to enter the place. Before leaving the oasis, Yuki had reminded all of her colleagues to take some water and store it as supplies.

In addition to leaving without any preparation, the oasis is very difficult to find in this vast desert. Even they did not know about the place they were in at the moment. Kuma is the most energetic and most stockpiled water supply in his space ring.

"There's nothing strange, it's just ordinary rocks."

Eiji and Kin Raiden floated up to be able to see more clearly.

"So wait, where are you going?"

Eiji hurried to follow Arnius, as well as all of his comrades.

"Do you know where you're going?"

Kin Raiden began to wonder, because Arnius's steps were without direction and also purpose.

"Since I arrived at this place. I just follow my heart, my mind and my instincts."

Arnius answered without stopping his steps.

"Good."

Kin Raiden patted his forehead softly, he really did not understand what the owner of the golden dragon was thinking.

"It looks like we're coming from over there."

Kin Raiden pointed at where they had fought before.

"I don't want to go to that place."

Arnius answered again without turning his head or stopping his steps. The man continued to walk as he wished.

For so long, the hot air gets stinging. Sweat and sweat drenched their bodies. Shiro was already looking so tired, Chio tried to help the little girl by slowly wiping her. While Kuma's large body had fallen down repeatedly. The bear looked completely dying.

Arnius's pace began to slow down, as did Eiji, Kin Raiden and the others. For a moment the commander of the Classic Pearl looked back, he stopped and sat on the rocks to just rearrange his breath and wait for some of his colleagues who were still left behind.

Eiji and Kin Raiden sat down and tried to restore their depleted strength. Chio helps Shiro to sit on the rocks, while Kuma is seen crawling closer to the spot.

"A.. Water."

The sound of the big bear was barely audible.

Zora handed one pill to each of her comrades and told them to swallow the pill.

"Please Ar.. Can we take a break."

Kuma began to speak after drinking a bottle of water and swallowing the pills given by Zora.

"Hm.. Alright. Looks like the place we're headed to isn't far away anymore."

Arnius pointed his index finger at a place filled with smoke.

"It's still a long way Ar."

Kuma again complained, after seeing the direction his commander pointed to.

"Let's stand up and walk beside me. It might not feel so hot."

Eiji helped Kuma to get back on his feet and continue the journey.

Kuma stood beside Eiji and felt a slight cooling breeze around the handsome young man.

"Did you forget, Eiji was an airbender. So is Wu Ling."

Arnius smiled slightly.

Chio and Shiro rushed over to Wu Ling who was always walking along with Yuki and also Zora.

"Heah.. It's just nice you don't look so exhausted."

Chio snorted in annoyance. While Wu Ling only smiled slightly. They walked again, but now they walked together. Eiji was as if setting up their formation while walking. The young man let his older brother walk in front of him, but he asked him to walk slowly so that the others would not be left behind.

Behind Eiji stood Kuma, Zora and Shiro. Wuling, Chio, Yuki and Kin Raiden. That way everyone could feel a little cooler with airbending between Wu Ling and Eiji.

Kuma no longer complained, although they still had to walk quite a distance. Plumes of smoke began to be seen, occasionally thick smoke soared high into space at an incredible speed.

"Does that include a volcano that always spouts out its entrails?"

"That's smoke, not your stomach."

Chio said Kuma.

"It's so thick that ash comes out of that crater."

Yuki also watched the smoke coming out.

"Shut your noses and mouths."

Zora took out a few pieces of cloth from inside her space ring.

"God, may I not be roasted."

Kuma hoped he would be okay.

"Broast buckets hm... It must be delicious."

Chio smiled slightly.

"Ka... You're.."

Kuma tried to hold back his emotions.

They can no longer walk together. They were currently lined up, because the road they were walking on was very narrow. Kuma even walked by attaching his body to the stone wall on his right side. Because on the left side they are a wide abyss that is completely invisible to the base.

"fr.. Helpme. I don't want to die yet. I am still unmarried and have no children. Is there no other way?"

The big bear's knees felt completely limp, as one small pebble fell into the ravine beside him.

"Be careful, you'll be here soon. The road ahead looks a little wider."

Arnius tried to encourage his comrade.

"Heah... Why didn't I just wait for you under the mountain."

Kuma let out a slow sigh, he regretted why he had not chosen to wait under the rock.

"Come guys, you can do it."

Arnius extended his hand. Kuma breathed a bit of relief, as it was true what his commander had said. The road in front of him now looked a little wider. The thick smoke no longer disturbed them. At the moment they seem to be on the other side of the crater.

Arnius sat down among the rocks, for a moment of rest. And all his colleagues. They share the remaining water, just to wet their throats.

"Waaoooo look at that smoke. That smoke puff looks like chicken thighs."

Kuma gulped down his saliva, as he looked at the puff of smoke soaring high that it formed some things that had always been in his mind.

"Waah right. Look at that beehive filled with honey. Must be delicious."

Chio also pointed to several puffs of smoke that rose again.

"Just look at you. I'll never share honey with you, if I find it."

Kuma clucked in annoyance.
