Tribes: Then and Now. PG-13

Rimmon followed,and Laryinx rolled his eyes and followed her.

Aui and Mya reached the hot spring, and sat down. Aui said, "What did she mean?" Mya said, "They expect me to go and help them with some important thing from my past. I can honestly say I could care less, and am most certainly not." She set a hot cloth over her face. Aui said, "Why not?" Mya replied, "Because, it's honestly too much to ask of me, and I'm not going to do it." Aui chuckled, and relaxed beside her.

Rimmon glared down at her,"You most certainly will. Do you think we all risked our lives today so you could sit back and watch the world be taken over? I dont think so. Now get your (donkey) out of there,or Ill make you."

Mya didn't move the clothe off her eyes, and replied, "Did you never learn how to read, or do you just not understand the word private?"

"I just dont care."Rimmon retorted.

Mya replied, "Neither do I."

And for that comment,Rimmon rewarded her with a slap. On the face.

Aui caught the girl's hand before it reach Mya.

Laryinx glared at the boy,"Let. Go. Of. Her."He snarled.

Rimmon jerked free,but slapped the boy instead then.

Aui blocked the girl's slap with the side of his arm.

Laryinx took Rimmon's arm,before she punched him and broke his jaw. Thousands of ants crawled into the hot water,swimming towards the boy.

Mya chuckled as a half toxicing smell came through the water, and drove the ants back out of the water.

The ants drove back into the water,they carried the poison and looks of ants,but they were made out of something else.

Mya chuckled at the toxicen keep coming, and kept the ants back.

The ants ignored it,not caring about it. A few died,but the rest went back in and stayed in.

Mya let a wave of seaweed grow from the base of the pool. With it grown, it created a wave that knocked the water holding the ants backwards.

Bee's flew in now,stinging anywhere they could touch.

Mya brought the seaweed above their heads, sheilding her and Aui from them as the water sea grass hardened. She looked at Aui, and he kissed her on the lips as the light failed in the little safety feild. He pushed a small rock in the back of the spring that lead into a emergancy exit. He dragged Mya along with him, and grabbed robes on a hidden shelf in the hidden passage. Mya struggled to pull hers on in the dark as Aui went back to close the door. He soon returned with a flash light in hand, and dressed.

Rimmon slit the sea weed open with a blade,and slipped after them. Laryinx sighed,"Rimmon...."He murmured,she looked back at him,and he watched her quietly. She reached for his hand,and he sighed and took it and followed her on.

Aui kissed Mya as the flashlight started to die out. He said, "Run straight down that path. It'll close behind you. Don't stop." Before she could protest, Aui pushed her away. He said, "Run." Mya slowly backed up from him. She reached the passage, still facing him when the door slammed shut. She hit her hands on the stone wall, but nothing would move it on this side. She bit her lip, and fled down the passage.

Aui watched her go, regreting that he had to. When the door slammed shut, the flashlight died.

Rimmon looked at the boy as Mya escaped."Do you not care about what happens to the world,moron?"She snarled under her breath. Laryinx squeezed her hand,trying to calm her down.

Through the dark, Aui replied, "It depends. Sometimes I wish the world would care less about me."

Rimmon looked at him,"And what is so horrible about your life??"

Aui replied, "I never said there was anything wrong with my life."

"Then be happy that someone is trying to save this stupid earth."Rimmon snarled.
