"Lush?" Mia asked.
"My scans have returned nothing... wait... 40 miles East. Lunar has a beacon up."
"Oh yeah," The Ghost, Flame muttered, "I forgot how much I hate you, Lush."

[b]Nathaniel pulled up a map of the world, and forty miles east was a largely unexplored region of land. An island [/b]
-
"Okay... knowing her, she probably got there easily," Mia noted. "It's only gonna make it harder on us," Chase noted. "Exactly," Mia replied.
-
"Not really. I'll call up one of the old pilots. Get a gunship ready."
-
"I have a feeling we'll have to stop at a shore and help someone," Puma replied.
-
"How do you mean?"
-
"I've got another beacon. Delphi set one up on the shore. Either JJ is at sea, or is dying on the shore," The Ghost continued. "Then, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Blake said.
-
[b]The group rushed out of the headquarters, into the hangar and boarding a gunship, which lifted off immediately [/b] "It'll take a few minutes to get there."
-
"I can deal with the wait," Chase said.
-
[b]Nathaniel started humming what sounded like the jeopardy theme and a few moments later, the ship landed with a thud. The four piled out, directly onto the beach [/b]
-
On the edge of the shoreline was a wreck. There was someone's head sticking out of the wreckage of a makeshift sailboat. The waves crashed onto the beach like angry fists. It pulled back, thinking it could drown the poor captain of the S.S. Fail.
-
[spoiler]Lol [/spoiler] "Who the hell...." [b]Nathaniel approached the ship, examining what happened [/b]
-
Chase and Blake ran to the wreckage, recognizing the dirty blond hair on the sand. They pull off the wood, and debris, dragging JJ away from the shoreline. He began to groan and cough up blood.
-
"Shit..." [b]Nathaniel knelt besides JJ, and a blue flame danced across his finger tips as he gave JJ some healing Magix [/b]
-
His voice was hoarse, "Thanks... I thought... no one... would find... me." "That's where you're wrong," Delphi said. "I know.... I shouldn't have... doubted any-any-one."
-
"Silence. Try not to speak too much. Understood?"
-
"He's right about that," Chase said, "Try not to talk. Delphi?" "He had me pinpoint the beacon, made a boat, sailed out into a storm. Then, well, shipwreck..." the Ghost continued.

-
"I tried to stop him, but he's stubborn," Delphi continued.
-
"Understandable really. He loves her. For now though, we need to focus on the matter at hand."
-
"Which is?" Chase asked. Meanwhile, Blake was setting the debris on fire.
-
Edited by Royal Blade: 2/23/2017 4:46:13 AM"This island has been ignored by the dojo. The last time anyone came here, we lost half a platoon."
-
"Then... she's... really... gone..." JJ croaked. Blake walked to his comrade, tapping JJ's chest, "You need to move on. Don't be sad over someone who doesn't love you."
-
Edited by Royal Blade: 2/23/2017 4:52:24 AM"Man has a point. That's what I did."
-
"Besides, you have us," Chase added, "Who needs her when we have each other, as a team." "Yes," Blake continued, "Bros before--" "That's not a nice word, Tommy. Don't use it," Chase scolded. "I didn't say it." "Doesn't matter."
-
"It's the thought that counts. The principle. Though in this case she could be considered one."
