The Inviting Gardens

"The Government trained me to be a battle warrior built for war and nothing else, but when I learned that the poeple i'd have to work for were the people that killed my kind, I ran away. Formed my own rebellion and then happened to run into you" Yuma blinks a bit.

"Well? Who was it that killed your kind?" Boombox gulps knowing it'll feul Yuma's mental instability.

"The 12 constelations" Yuma's eyes widen.

"N-No, not them!" Boombox is shocked that Yuma even knows who they are.

"Who are they?" Boombox face palms and sighs.

"They're the ones who have control over the World Government" Yuma glares at Boombox who waves.

"On another note" Yuma perks a bit.

"I saw the Pink Alien with my own two eyes earlier" Yuma's eyes widened in absolute shock.

"T-The same Alien from the scrolls!?" Boombox nods.

"I didn't get a good look at it, because it was a blur. It moved too fast." Yuma is shocked.

"It moved too fast for the person who moves at the speed of sound!?" Boombox nods.

"All I saw was a pink blur zooming across the sky…" There was an awkward silence.

"I'm going to call you Iteyi from now on" Boombox grits his teeth.

"Please don't, Yuma" Yuma snickers as Cani shouts from the deck.

"Island inbound!" They both jump up and run on deck.

Yuma and Boombox look in absolute disbelief. A small island the size of Yuma's home stood in front of them. No buildings, structures, or docks in sight. Everything is covered in larger than life plants.

 "Are you seeing what I'm seeing Iteyi?" Boombox nods slowly.

"Yup, and please stop calling me that" Yuma nods as Cani sighs.

"Let's watch our step guys? Stay close together in case the government attacks" Cani jumps down off the boat beside Boombox and Yuma. Boombox nodding.

"She's right, I noticed an island or two ago, we're on Government territory, so why haven't they attacked us?" The three of them start walking to explore. Cani nodded.

"Stay vigilant you two" Yuma nods.

"On it" Suddenly the three look around and can't seem to find each other. Yuma alone with no one in sight.

"What the-" Yuma smirks.

"I think the Government is here" Yuma turns and starts walking through the flower fields. Pretty roses and dandelions seemingly stretch for infinity in front of him. Yuma's head is booming with a strong headache.

"Why does my head hurt so much so suddenly?" Yuma sits down to take a break and grabs a flower. It seemingly dissolves in his hand as he's suddenly sitting under a tree.

"I don't remember sitting under a tree" Yuma sighs and shakes it off. His eyes strangely begin to water as he wipes them. The sky seemingly glitching as he notices a pink blur floating in the sky. Seemingly bolting off really fast. A shockwave following.

"Was that the pink Alien!? What is it doing following me!?" Yuma stands up and runs in the direction it flew. Running forever seemingly as he runs out of breath.

"Where did it go?"

Cani walks slowly keeping an eye on her surroundings.

"Why did Yuma and Boombox disappear? Why does it feel like I've been walking forever now?" Cani stops and leans down. A flower beside the path starting to wither. Cani stretched her hand out and hovering it over the flower. Shifting the molecules and bringing it back to life with a calm smile.

"I never knew Boombox looked like that" There was an ominous silence.

"How did I never take the time to ask myself what he would look like if he had his full body back." Cani sighs and rises to her feet.
