Maka begins to look closely at something moving behind us. “Guys!” The shaking becomes more rampant the closer it gets. “Umm… guys! Danger! Danger! Danger!” Maka looks up, almost ready to pass out as tears begin to fall and, with a whimper, softly says, “Ummm… Fukai?”
At that same time on the other side of me, Ramsey begins to talk to himself, “This is too weird.” He looks around. “There are too many things out of the ordinary today.” Ramsey looks at me, “It almost seems like we’re being drawn towards something. Fukai, what do you think?”
“Best day ever!” I blurt, completely ignoring Ramsey.
“Idiot!” Ramsey looks forward. “Fukai!” Ramsey begins to panic “Fukai! We’ve got trouble!”
“Huh?!” I pause for a moment.
“Fukaaaiii!” Maka yells out in fear.
“Fukai! There’s a giant stone wall ahead!” Ramsey points at the giant stonewall.
“Fukai! Ummm… There’s a gi-!”
I look towards Maka because I can’t make out what he is trying to say. “Huh? Maka, are you ok?” I ask, only to discover that Maka has passed out beside me. “Hmmm… I never heard of passing out from having too much fun.”
“Damn it! Ramsey! Get it together!” Ramsey slaps himself in the face. “Even so,” Ramsey hesitates upon realizing that he lacks the necessary skills to safely get out of this situation unscathed. “I need to calm down, and reexamine the situation!” Ramsey quickly turns to me. “Fukai! I need you to listen up!”
At that very moment, Ramsey clearly hears something tumbling at a fast pace right behind us. “That doesn’t sound good.” Ramsey slowly turns his head. “Oh. I see.” Ramsey quietly speaks to himself as he looks at me and quickly looks behind. “Holy shit!” A massive juggernaut of a tree is rapidly rolling behind us, tearing down the small trees in its path. “You gotta be kidding me! Is this for real?!” Ramsey quickly glances ahead as he bites down on his thumb to think. “Shit! It must have happened when Oki and the ophidia crashed down!” Ramsey quickly turns to me, “Fukai! We have major problems!”
Completely ignoring my surroundings, I spot the giant stone wall ahead. “Oh! What do we have here?!” I shout with excitement. “Look! Look!” I tap Ramsey on the shoulder barely holding in my excitement. “Ramsey! There’s a giant stone wall right in front of us!” Full of excitement, I look Ramsey in the eyes. “Isn’t this day so wonderful?!” I say blissfully.
“What… the damn… hell… are you talking about?!” Ramsey slaps me upside the head. “Like hell it is! Fukai! Take this shit seriously! We’re in danger! If we don’t do something quick we’re literally going to be stuck between a rock and a hard place!”
“Huh?” I say with a look of confusion. “What are you talking about Ramsey?”
At his wit’s end, Ramsey shouts out, “You big idiot! Behind us!” and grabs my head, turning it around.
I look, only to see a giant rolling tree quickly approaching us. “Oh!” I smile. “Is that all you're worried about?” I pat Ramsey on the shoulders while shaking my head with a smirk and say, “Like I’ve been telling you, Ramsey, don’t sweat the small stuff.”
Ramsey clenches his fist out of frustration while closing his eyes. “Oh. The small stuff. You don’t say.” Ramsey points at the giant tree closing in on us. “There’s nothing small about that!” Ramsey grabs my collar and shakes me. “I’m serious, what are we going to do?!”
“Guys, what’s going on?” Maka questions groggily as he wakes up. “I had a nightmare that we were in the Deep Jungle a-and…” Maka looks up and realizes that it wasn’t a dream. “This is all a dream! This is all a dream! THIS. IS. ALL. A. DREAM!” Maka screams as he closes his eyes. “Fukai, please help me!”
“Quiet. Let me think.” I say as my mind drifts off. “Hmmm…! Zzzzzzzzzzz! …Yummy, that tastes so good!”
“Hey! Idiot!” Ramsey punches me in the shoulder. “Don’t you dare fall asleep on us, Fukai! Wake the hell up!”
“Huh?! …What?! …Oh! Right! The plan!” I look at Ramsey as I rub the back of my head, sticking my tongue out. “Sorry, I tend to fall asleep when thinking about boring things!”
Ramsey looks at me with an all-too sincere smile. “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize that thinking of ways to save our lives…” Ramsey punches me in the face, “WAS SO BORING!”
“Fine! Fine! Let me focus.” I say as we swiftly approach the stone wall. “Alright! Let’s do this!” I close my eyes to focus and, for a moment, everything goes silent. “Just breathe.” My eyes quickly snap open. “Ramsey! Grab on!”
