Acer tried to hold back rolling his eyes before he buried his face in his palms.

A few minutes later the sun started to appear beyond the horizon, with the company of an island. Acer looked up as if instinct and immeadiatly noticed that the little green-ish dot was their destination. "Finally," Acer said in a cold voice as they crept closer along the water.

Griffon stood up, "That's where we gotta go!" He yelled, then half stumbled half sat back into his seat. He drummed on the backpack between his legs. This was it!

When they arrived Acer stood up quite fast, pulling out his map. The boat was several feet feet from the sand. "OK. Absolutely NOBODY gets out of this boat, got it?" The crew members nodded. Acer turned to Griffon, "Take out your map, will ya?"

Griffon pulled out his map from the same pocket he had earlier. It had dried out since and was slightly stiff as Griffon unfolded it. "There ya go!"

Acer rubbed his eye before saying, "OK, so we have to find out where on the island we are. I'll fly up there and tell you which way to turn the map when I come back down."

A funny look was given to Acer from Griffon. "You'll what?"

Acer scoffed, "I didn't stutter," Acer said as he turned around. He extended his arms before saying "Bellator." After saying this, Acer's body was bathed in a yellow-ish light. His body was silhouetted perfectly, with a black outline. His hair lifted from his face, but his features were blocked by the light. When the light faded, it revealed Acer in glorious shiny armor, equipped with large white wings on the back. The armor was merited with the Giamminola symbol, as was all of Acer's armor. "I'll be back down in a minute. And NOBODY SETS FOOT ON THAT SAND." After that Acer extended both of his arms in front of them and crossed them at his wrist, letting his palms and fingers fall loose, with his eyes closed. He raised his crossed wrist a little bit above his head and exhaled. His eyes burst open as his arms shot down, propelling him high into the air.

Griffon watched in awe as the man shot into the sky, then looked back to the beach. He gave a half smile and picked up a pebble he found at the bottom of the little boat. He took it and tossed it onto the shore to see what would happen. For a second nothing did, until several spikes shot up around the impact area. Griffon whistled.

Acer flew around the island several times before stopping above the boat. He twisted his head left and right a few times before landing back in the boat. "Bellator," Acer said, consuming him in a light that robbed him of his armor. "Gimmie your map," Acer said extending his arm, while taking out his map at the same time.

Griffon handed it over as requested.

Acer kept spinning around the map, trying to remember how it looked from his 'brid's eye veiw'. He got it right and placed his map over it. he looked at where the spikes were and twisted the map a little more. "There we are," he said with a slight smile. Without turning his head he asked one of the crew members for tape. "Could you hand me the...." one of the taller crewmembers haned it to him befor he could finish. Acer tapped the two maps together at the edges. "Allright, now. Make sure to follow my foot steps EXACTLY, ok?" All the crewmembers nodded.

Griffon nodded and began to follow Acer. Whatever was being guarded here better and should be good! He hoped so at least. He figured that whatever was at the end didn't matter story wise, he could still use the trip just getting there to awe the crowds.

After weaving through a difficult path they were deep in the jungle. They reached a clearing where the map said was a booby trap free zone for resting. "Everyone OK?" Acer turned to face them all, once everyone was inside the safe zone.

"I'm good," Griffon replied. He held up a thumb and checked behind him to see if there were any stragglers. He was surprised that everyone had made it across without injury.

Acer looked at the map, and as it turned out, there was a ring around the island that was a safe zone, they were just in a part of it. "It looks like we can camp out here tonight." Acer said after looking up to realize that it was getting late.

"Sounds good to me." He dropped his pack onto the ground and looked around at the place. It was quite mysterious and he wished it was safe enough for a more in depth exploration. Still, he got to go to the city, that was more than alot of people get to do!

Acer, no longer holding anything, stuck out his had diagonally down to his side as his holding a racquet for badminton. His other hand was stuck out the same way, extending up, in the opposite direction. "Bellator" Acer said before twin katanas appeared in Acer's hand, after having their arrival announce by an outline of their shape made out of light appear in Acer's hand. Now equipped, Acer leveled out his arms to chest level. He lowered his hands once he was armed.

Griffon raised a brow. "Are you just showing off or is there an actual reason for those? I don't speak silence." He grinned a little.

"I'm going to go look around." Acer said without looking at Griffon. Two crew members followed Acer as he made his ay to the edge of the campsite.

"It might be better to set up camp and assign watches," called Griffon. He looked around, the forest's wouldn't contain anything on the ground because of the traps. The trees, however, were a different story.
