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.

"Already done." a crew member said in a rugged voice as Acer made his way from the campsite. Acer swung his swords like a scissor, forging a path.

"You shut up," said Griffon without looking, although pointing at the man. "We have been here for several minutes and gear lays everywhere. You might have pre-assigned watches but that might not be enough. We don't know what are in these trees and I don't plan on being killed tonight." Griffon dug into his pack and pulled out a light tent pack. "We will also need a fire, smoke keeps bugs away."

The crew member Griffon was talking stood up, revealing him to be much taller and intimidating than he looked when sitting down. He looked big and muscly, as if he was a brick wall stuck in a man's body. "Why don't you try saying that again?" the crew member said. Half way through his first step to pummel Griffon, Acer shot him a look from the very corner of his eye that said, "Touch him, and I'll **** you up." The man sat back down. "Griffon, come with me. They already know what to do." Acer said to him without looking as he kept cutting a trail.

As the man had started to near Griffon he got ready for fisty cuffs. His hands were raised in fists infront of him. Griffon was alot smaller than the man, but that didn't mean he couldn't do some damage even if he would lose in the end. He had a few tricks up his sleaves.

The story teller was slightly releaved when the man was called off, he didn't want any injuries to either of them in this island, that would just be bad news. He walked to Acer, "aparently not," he muttered as he followed Acer.

((lol fisty cuffs? ))

There were two crew members with Acer, both wielding machetes, cutting the foliage around them as the went. Acer slower down when they started to go a little but off the path. The moment they went off path, Acer started to notice more and more spider webs, growing in size as well. "Back that way," Acer said in a serious voice after the got about twenty feet off the path.
