For Super Sailor Ninja Taurus's writing contest
Just outside of Medali. Sometimes after the main story of Sc/Vi
Jared awoke with a jolt. What had he been doing? Right. He had been sleeping in a tent a little ways away from Medali waiting for the Treasure Eatery to open so he could participate in whatever gym challenge was waiting for him. But why did he wake up?
Then, the ground started shaking heavily and the world went crazy. He unzipped his tent and saw cracks in the ground. That was when it happened.
The ground gave out and he was falling. For a few seconds, he was in pure shock and panic. Once he gathered himself he sent out his Fletchinder. It flew down next to the falling tent and chirped excessively. “I need you to use Tailwind on the bottom of the tent, now!” Jared yelled, still falling with the Fletchinder. Fletchinder chirped as it used a powerful Tailwind on the bottom of the tent. It didn't stop the falling, but slowed the fall down very well.
After about a minute of falling they landed on the ground in a pitch black cavern. Jared recalled Fletchinder. “Wait, can't I just fly out?” Jared asked seemingly to nobody. As if on cue the area where he had landed started shaking. He runs into a large cavern and a landslide happens, trapping him. Great.
ToHe takes his backpack out of his tent and turns on his flashlight. He walks through the large tent for about 15 minutes. Then he sends out his starter, Crocalor for light and safety. Then, after another 10 minutes of walking a sharp, metallic blade cuts the back of Jared's leg.
“ACK-” He screams as he tumbles to the floor. “What the heck? Crocalor! Use Flamethrower and light the cave up!” Crocalor uses Flamethrower and the two come face to face with a toasted Iron Moth. Its upper right spike is stained with blood. So that's what cut Jared's leg.
The Moth does not look happy and it is slightly charred. It charges at Jared and Crocalor rams into it. One of its spikes flies away from it. Jared stands up and limps over to the spike while Crocalor keeps Iron Moth occupied. “Hah! Not a fair fight anymore!”
Enraged, the Iron Moth rams Crocalor into a wall and knocks it out. “Oh shoot…” The moth starts pulling the spike back to itself using magnetism. It starts pulling really hard. Jared lets go and the spike zooms over to the Iron Moth, impaling it. Sparks fly from it and it crashes to the ground. Jared recalls Crocalor and grabs gauze out of his backpack to fix his leg. He eventually crawls through some rubble and finds… Area Zero? “What the heck!?” Jared exclaimed. Nearby he finds a building and a strange pad. He steps on it and somehow he is teleported back to the top of Area Zero.
“Well that works." Jared says while walking out of the Zero Gate. He sees many police standing near the hole he fell in. He talks to the policemen about what happens and he books a hotel, fighting Larry the next day.
