Malyn was sent tumbling into the ground, and Raynold yells out whether or not she's okay, after a good amount of time she gets up again to continue her fight.

  "We can't keep doing this Malyn, lets look for help!" Raynold urges Malyn.

  "Then go look for help yourself, hurry up and come back for me alright?! I can hold him off!"

  "I can't just leave you here! Guess I'll have to pull it out..." Before Ray could pull something out, Malyn went rushing at the bear again.

  "Malyn wait!"

  "You damn beast, these wounds hurt like hell but I'm gonna get back at you!!" Malyn lets out a warcry and rushes at the bear. She goes for finger flicks to the eyes. The bear yelps out in pain and recoils back. Malyn goes for the nuts of the bear and gives it a hard kick.

  "WAAAAAAGH!!" The bear screams out in pain, it stands up with its nuts held by his hands and starts walking backwards while still groaning in pain and apparently crying out.

  "Wait, did she just make a bear her bitch?" Raynold thought in disbelief and amazement. Malyn goes for a flying side kick, this kick requires running then rotating her body and going for a side kick in mid-air. She sends the bear tumbling down the ground sidewards.

  "She can probably win this!" Raynold says confidently. Malyn tries to get on top of the bear to further damage it but the bear suddenly goes for a bite on Malyn's stomach. The bite wasn't too deep but it did still hurt Malyn alot. "AGGHHHH!!" She screams out in pain, reflexively stabbing the bear's eyes with her thumbs.

  The bear groans in pain and lets go of Malyn, with some bits of her stomach in its mouth. She backs off but gets down on her knees because of the pain. "This fucking hurts but worse yet I'm bleeding out, this isn't good!" She thought while internally panicking. The bear brings itself up and approaches its opponent. "Am I going to die here?" Malyn says while on the ground holding her wounded stomach.

  The bear was about to go for a slash, but a gunshot goes off in the scene. The bear was stunned with a gunshot wound on its head, yet it didn't pierce through its head. "What was that?" Malyn looked back and saw Ray holding a glock 17. "Raynold here to save the day!" Ray says with a cocky but heroic tone.

  "Ray!" Malyn said while smiling with a sign of relief in her face.

  He goes for more headshots and succeeds, albeit never landing into the same spot in its head but also making the bear recoil back and deeply wounds it. "Looks like I've got this!" Ray was about to finish it off but the bear recovers and rushes sidewards to the left, making Ray miss his shot.

  Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  "Damnit, I've only got five shots left. I wasn't expecting to be in a damn forest so I didn't bring spare magazines! I've gotta make my shots count!" Ray said both determined and frustrated. The bear stops running to the side and runs to Ray again. Ray makes another shot but before the bullet could reach him the bear veers off again and goes right sidewards, evading the bullet.

  "Shit!" Ray exclaims worryingly as the bear narrows the gap between it and its target. The bear stops running sidewards and goes for Ray's direction again. "I might have to change my course of action..." Ray shoots two bullets into each of the bear's paws, stopping its advances. "I've got it down, now I just need one bullet in its head!" Ray says determined.

  Ray pulls the final trigger and goes for a headshot but shockingly the gun jams. Ray attempted to fire the gun multiple times but it didn't work. "Shit!! This is what I get for skipping last saturday firearm maintanenace!!" The bear swipes at Ray's body, sending him tumbling into a nearby tree.

  "Ray!!" Malyn cries out, she tries to get up in a struggle and then she limps to Ray. "Don't die!!" Malyn says.

  "No, Malyn go off without me, I'll stall it! Go get help"

  "You're a dunce for thinking that, I won't let you die here!"

  The bear was crawling towards Ray with only its paws injured and only using its feet. "Are we going to die here? Damnit, and I've always to get into a serious relationship after I'm done with my fuckboy phase!" Ray thought to himself begrudgingly. But suddenly an orange was thrown into Ray's lap. Another was one was thrown in front of Malyn.

  "Eat that if you don't want to die!" A familiar voice reaches Ray and Malyn. He turns and sees his best friend Lester. He was wearing a black kimono with a robe stacked on it, its over his head.

  "Lester? Is that you?" Ray said, not having much of a choice proceeds to eat the orange. Malyn does the same.

  "Now imagine what you want to do to that bear right now! And realize it right now!" Lester urged them.

  "What I want to do right now..." Ray and Malyn said in unison, and an aura was glowing from both of them. Ray's was blue and Malyn's was yellow.

  "... is kill that bear!"

  Ray was healing, same with Malyn. He stands up, his hair turns blonde, a shotgun materalizes from Ray's hand alongside a brown trenchcoat and cowboy hat to wear and he takes the shot "This is where you die!" The bear takes an explosive shot, with incendiary rounds burning its face and upper torso. The bear was heavily damaged and backs off crying. Malyn's hair turns red and she materalizes a pair of golden gauntlets in her hands alongside a full body golden armor with a red cape.

  "I'll bite back!" Malyn runs at the bear with increased speed and punches the bear hard, sending it flying. She jumps on top of it and gives it rapid barrages of punches, destroying its face and eventually killing it. Blood was covered all over Malyn, especially on her gauntlets. She was exhausted from the fight, huffing and puffing.

  Lester, Ray and Malyn were grouped up. "Good that I made it in time." Lester said gleefully.

  "How did you find us in these woods?" Ray questioned him.

  "Since I've eaten one of those fruits, I've felt a power rising within me. Somehow my wounds from a fight with a pack of wolves were healing..."

  "You got into a fight with wolves? Did you kill all of them?" Ray asked.

  "Yeah" Lester replied.

  "Attaboy! If it's one thing I know about my friend is that he's a badass, hehe" Ray compliments Lester.

  "Did you almost die?" Malyn questions Lester.

  "Almost, up until I was on death's door bleeding out, once I ate the orange near me on the ground I imagined something, anything that would help me and apparently my wounds were healing."

  "So you're saying the fruits of this land have some sort of power that lets us do anything we could imagine?" Malyn asked in wonder.

  "Apparently so. After I healed, since I'm a scifi novelist I imagined myself sensing where my friends were, alongside some enhanced hearing. It took a while but I found you guys."

  "Now we just need to find the others. Ray let's try doing the same thing he's doing.

  "Alright"

  Ray and Malyn imagine theirselves having sensory abilities of where their friends where, alongside some enhanced hearing.

  "AHHHHHH!" A familiar voice was screaming in the distance, and they all heard it.

  "That sounded like Annie, she's not too far let's go!" The three rush off.
