Chapter 48 - Return to Death Forest

Scene: The two of them run out of the station and head down the trail, dodge obstacles and then are forced into a cave when one of the floating land rocks drops down and almost hits them. Rey shoves Aiko out of the way and dives in.

  • Rey: That was close! Are you ok?

    Aiko: Ya. How did you know that bolder was going to drop on us?

    Rey: My wrist monitor alerted me.

  • Aiko: Wait a minute, I know this place, this is the death forest, this is where I die. Why would you take us into here? Now, of all times?

  • Rey: You’re not going to die, I’m here to make sure that doesn’t happen. Besides, it’s your vision, you can’t avoid it. One way or another we would be led here.

    Aiko: Well, if this is my destiny, then according to my vision, my destiny is to die.

    Rey: No, your destiny was to be brought to where it might happen. You woke before you actually died, didn’t you? And with this I can locate all of the goblins who were chasing you. See. You just follow your vision and I’ll take care of the rest.

    Aiko: Well keep in mind, the fog in there is very dense. Seeing a little red dot here and actually seeing them in there is two different things.

  • Rey: Aiko, have I ever let you down? I’ve got you, I promise.

    Aiko: Fine, let’s just do it.

  • Scene: As Aiko enters the forest, the goblins begin to converge on her. When the goblin sees her hide by the tree, he says.

    Goblin 1: Finally. I was wondering if you were ever going to show. Now you will die for the lives of my brethren you have taken.

    Scene: He shoots an arrow at the tree next to her.

  • Scene: Aiko then jumps down onto the path, looks and sees Goblin 1 raise his bow at her. He then shoots an arrow past her as she runs down the path.

  • Aiko: Anytime Rey!

  • Scene: Rey then pulls up Goblin 1 on her tracker, aims and fires a dart at him, killing him.

  • Scene: Rey then pulls up Goblin 1 on her tracker

    Rey: Let’s see how well you work.

  • Scene: She aims and fires a dart at him, killing him.

  • Rey: I’m liking this tracker.

  • Scene: Then Goblin 2 comes from the side as Aiko runs past him. Rey then takes out Goblin 2.

  • Scene: Meanwhile, Goblin 3 shoots an arrow at Aiko that she barely slides under. He then chases her into the fog.

  • Scene: Unable to track Goblin 3 into the dense fog, Rey then spots Goblin 4 at the top of the ridge and sneaks up behind him.

  • Rey: Where do you think you’re going?

  • Scene: Goblin 3 chases Aiko through the forest and then shoots another arrow at her to push her towards Goblin 4.

  • Scene: Just as Aiko is rounding the corner and Goblin 4 is about to jump on Aiko with his knife, Rey shoots him, and he falls at Aiko’s feet. Rey slides down the hill next to the body.

  • Aiko: Did you get them all?

    Scene: Rey counts to herself

    Rey: Yep, got all three.

  • Aiko: But there were 4 in my vision.

    Rey: Oh, I guess you’re right.

  • Scene: Rey points her tracker up into the tree and shoots the last Goblin, who falls out of a tree onto the ground.

  • Rey: Yep, got all four

    Scene: Aiko sighs a relief.

    Aiko: Thanks Rey.

    Scene: Aiko hugs her

    Rey: Now don’t go getting all emotional on me, I told you I had your back. I am liking this tracker. Ok, this way.
