Snippet #1720825

Appare's eyes widened as she was suddenly tossed over Kales shoulder before she could get to him first. "Ah!?" He didn't have to be so rough, as he just flung her carelessly away. Appare skidded across the ground, her eyes squeezed tight. JERK JERK JERK JERK JEEEEEEEEEEEEEERK!!!!! Why did he have to be so stuck up!? Couldn't he quit fighting for once!? Appare sat up, her body tensing. Human or not, Kale was in for some kick-ass time. The now human girl looked over towards the fight, and gasped. What the heck!? Kale was STRANGLING him!? Woah, that was COMPLETELY unnecessary! But Keru was changing back, to Appare's ultimate relief. Perhaps Kale really did know what he was doing.

Or not.

Black yucky stuff when down the ribbons, and was heading towards Kale, but all Appare could do was stare. Luckily, Riki was more attentive and vines shot out to free Keru. But both Kale and Keru slumped to the ground. What had happened? It seemed like the black stuff was draining there energy! But before Appare could warn her, Riki too was attacked by the blackness. "Omigosh..." Appare crawled over to Kale and Keru, wary of the the blackness but unable to stay away. "Guys...?" she whispered, nudging Keru gently. "Are you back to normal now, Keru?" Appare was scared that if she spoke to loudly or stood up the black stuff would notice her, so she kept her presence a small as possible.

"Uhh..." In the movies, people checked the pulses first, right? With Keru, all Appare had to do was lay her ear across his chest and listen. There is was. Although slower than Appare would've liked, she was glad it was beating at all. But... the girl surveyed Kale. His armor.... He was a whole 'nother story. So she nudged him too, hoping for a response, but unsure what would happen if none came. "Erm, Kale? What about you? Are you alive?"
