Hebal tilted her head curiously at the groups reaction "I was just making sure it works but now I know I don't have to shout today I won't do it again. We'll meet you back in a while then, we have lots of ground to cover to get to our area" she told them giving everyone one last salute before jumping through the trees into the forest.
Seph waved to Hebal but placed her hand over Itaka's mouth "shush not so loud we should at least be a little quieter or we'll scare the unicorn" she whispered oulling him away from the rest of the group "We'll cover the southern area of the barrier so no need to come this way" she told everyone dragging Itaka with her.
Alpha frowned at Gil but gave Barbaros a nod all the same "Don't be fooled by it's appearence, these things actually have a really good coverage but yeah I am ready to go just don't go driving so far ahead that we lose you somewhere" he answered scratching his back.
Melanae laughed lightly poking Amane on the shoulder "I notice you didn't tell him how last year you and Ardie got a weeks detention for throwing food in the lunch room. I have to read some boring 500 page none fiction book on the life of a shoopuff and what happens when they interact with people"
Amane giggled sticking her tongue out at Melanae "Yeah but be fair even you said the one we threw it at deserved everything she got that day. Detention isn't so bad, all you do is write 30 lines and a small letter apologising to your teacher for misbehaving"

Felina smiled back at Oassu squeezing his hand gently while she cast float on the two of them "I'm ready when you two are and feel free to go as fast as you want on Boco, we'll float along after you" she added to Jenna turning on their walkie talkie then placed it in her back pocket.
Hayate nodded waving the others "Well aren't that lot surprisingly keen to get ready. I'm ready to go too. I guess we can take the west part of the area and then one of your groups can do the east and middle bit" he suggested standing next to Barbaros's bike.
Satoshi smiled taking the walkie talkie from Gil and gave it a good shake "I think I have used something like this a couple of times before but usually we don't need to communicate with eachother to find team mates or find out they're in trouble" she muttered to him taking Terrato off oh him "I'll go search wherever" she shrugged.

Oassu smiled "Why the float?" he asked following Jenna who struck out on a run accidentally breaking the grip the two had holding hands "Careful Jenna" Oassu called taking Felina's hand again "Give us a call if you see anything" he called ahead.
Barbaros smiled lighting up a cigar of his "Alright don't worry for now I'll just walk along, save the environment and all" he said slowly pushing his bike along.
Gil chuckled "Gadgets aren't my thing really you can handle it, technology is just silly these days" he sighed with a shrug patting Enkidu and Terrato "He was a good boy while I was gone." he said.
Itaka chuckled as Seph dragged him off "In a bit of a rush aren't you?" he asked quietly stepping over a log "We came across that one the other day by complete chance." he sighed "It'll be lucky if we find another today." he said.
Mari giggled clinging on tightly as Hebal jumped through the forest "Hehe this is super fun isn't it Ivy?" she asked the fairy sitting on Hebal's ear. "So where are we searching today Miss Super Hebal" she asked.
Zadina giggled "Well if you point her out I'll cast a fun little spell on her give her a pigs tail or something" he said "And meeting a shoopuf would be fun you know? I'll need to see one one day." he said

Hebal giggled jumping onto one of the vines using it to swing across a large gap between two of the trees "We are going to search the north bit of Felina's barrier first then from there who knows. But glad your having fun up there miss marvellous Mari" she sung going for another vine.
Seph grinned letting go of Itaka then landed on thr ground next to "Theres no hurry but I figured the sooner we start looking, the sooner we can also have more private time. We can now discuss more private things if we want to" she excused herself stroking his chest "We might get lucky again today"
Alpha raised his eyebrow at Bararos pushing a tree branch to one side "Since when did you care all that much about the environment, didn't strike me as a hippie" he teased pinging the tree branch branch back almost hitting Hayate in the face with it "hmm... sorry about that this task will probable be boring" he sighed.
Melanae grinned pulling Zadina and Amane away from the path "Ok we might be a little late for school if we don't run really fast but I can quickly take you to where the shoopuff love in our forest" she suddenly decided dragging them back through the trees excitedly.
Amane giggled a little worried that they were going to be really late for registration "Well this is so unlike you Melanae. Usually it's you who makes sure we get in on time but a pugs tail is waay to nice considering how mean she is, the snout would be more effective" she laughed running with Melanae.

Felina grinned leaning in closer to Oassu "It's so we can keep up with Boco better, we'll tire out a lot slower if we aren't chasing after him so much plus we can see a lot more from up here and are less vulnerable to fiend attacks" she explained kissing his ear and jaw "we'll make sure nothing tries to ambush you Jenna"
Satoshi watched as the others took off placing the device on her belt "I guess that leaves us to search through this are which is going to be harder since this lot have made all kinds of tracks" she sighed kneeling down to examine the ground "It's good that he's been good, we shall have to reward him later.
Hayate yawned climbing up into the tree above Alpha and Barbaros "Not everyone who cares about the environment is a hippy, plus it's a nice sunny day for walking. There could be a lot worse tasks we could be doing like cleaning up dung too" he argued smiling to himself as he watched Hebal swing off into the distence.

Oassu smiled "She won't go so far ahead but you just focus on that barrier" he said "I can't be distracting you with my smexyness" he said kissing her before drawing his knives while a fiend's roar was swiftly silenced ahead of them as Jenna killed it.
Gil scratching his chin and patted Enkidu who was looking up at him for attention "You've been a good boy too" he said feeding Enkidu a treat from his pocket "But even if we're inconvienienced your a hunting expert, any suggestions what we should do first?" he asked strolling along.
Barbaros nodded "Though not much sun gets through here but I just don't wanna waste petrol besides the sound of my bike might drive it off, and we need to wait to the next city before I'll get another chance you know" he told Alpha.
Mari smiled "It's been a great time hanging about in your village and being a Viera is super fun I can smell and hear everything much better now" she chirped "That said can't we sniff out a unicorn?" she asked.
Itaka smiled stroking Seph's back and butt "Sure we'll get lucky but it's really for Felina and Oassu but...since we have some privacy now what about that wedding idea, have you given it any thought?" he asked quietly.
Zadina gasped "A real shoopuf?! Well....I can help us move faster but I can only use this spell like once or twice a day" he said reading his book before casting haste on them all "Therewego," he said hopping from one foot to the other "Weshouldtotallybeabletogetthereintimenow" he said quickly.

Alpha slowly nodded his head somewhat satified with the answer he received "Fair enough I suppose and if filling up a bike is like filling up an airship then the fuel will be really expensice" he muttered trying to sneak through a couple of bushes in search of life.
Hebal shook her head sticking her tongue out at Hayate as he disappeared from sight "Nah you can't really sniff out a unicorn because there are too many other smell in the forest that are stronger and cover up the animals scent. Not to worry not to worry I'll put you down soon and you can try the swinging fun"
Seph paused running the claws on her feet through the dirt happily "I haven't given it a huge amount of thought, we have pleanty time to think about it so theres no hurry. What about you, thought about it much?"" she asked him casually slicing through a lupin fiend feeding in the remains of his rival lupin.
Amane's ears began twitching at an alarming speed in surprise at the new spell "Woah!ThisIsOneTotallyAwesomeSpellButWeMayHaveToSlowDownWhenWeGetToTheShoopuff" she pointed out to him almost tripping over a bush and dragging Melanae down with her at the speed she was going at. Melanae simply nodded at Zadina taking him further to the east of the forest.

Felina giggled giving Oassu a wink "Actually I think it's relaxing more than didtracting. It's easier to keep spells going when nerves aren't getting the better of you" she answered cautiously taking out her bow out it case of a fiend attack "Better to be safe than sorry you know"
Satoshi bit her lip continuing to examine the ground "I am already looking believe it or not. We can rule out the area in front of me as an ideal place to start looking because it would appear nothing has come past this way for a good hour and certainly nothing with hooves" she informed him picking herself up and headed in the opposire direction.
Hayate scratched his head turning away from where Hebal had been before "How much does it usually cost to fill the airship tank up then? Is it really that expensive" he asked jumping to the next tree "Lets see... there are two imps coming up to us looking a little hostile" he warned.

Oassu smiled stroking Felain's butt "Alright if your sure it keeps you relaxed," he said throwing a kunai and skewering a small floating eye hovering a few feet away "Most of the fiends here seem relatively tame," he said reloading "I suppose that they'd have to be living so close to the Viera." he shrugged.
Gil smiled as Enkidu sniffed along the tracks "So what would you do to start looking for an animal like this?" he asked drawing his sword and remarking as a small lupine came up to Enkidu and began sniffing his behind before rolling over allowing Enkidu a sniff. Gil sighed reaching down to scratch the lupines' tummy "These animals don't seem to have much of a problem....most of them anyway" he said getting up and cutting through a killer bee buzzing at him angrily.
Barbaros glanced casually at the small disgruntled imps "You guys can take them, my cannon isn't packing any weaponry, just a net" he said sitting on his bike watching the imps.
Mari blushed "I'm not sure I can do this it's big and scary" she said taking a potion and drinking it. "It looks big and tough and hard to do you know" she said quietly hanging on tightly.
Itaka shrugged "Only when Alpha brought it up there, it seems like an important thing I guess" he sighed looking up at the sun through the leaves "But not for a while more, we've still not been going out that long...even if it is great that we'll live as long as each other doesn't mean we gotta get hitched straight away..besides neither of us are good for money just now but it was worth it" he chuckled patting Seph's wing.
Zadina giggled rapidly before floating off after Amane "ThisistotallyawesomeI'mgonnagettoseeashoopufIdidn'tthinktheylivedinforestslikethis!" he called ahead to them

Hebal frowned swinging across a series of vines hanging down next to eachother "Aww well thats a shame, it's really fun and I would have cought you is you fell but if your sure I'll just carry you a little further" she giggled jumping onto another tree then slid down one of the thicker branches.
Seph smiled sniffing the air around her flapping her wings quietly "It's not that important right now. We should just take things as they come because from my past experiences the more you rush the less fun things become. Plus your right about weddings being expensice tens of thousands of gil for a dream one"
Alpha rubbed his eyes glancing at the two imps on front of him fighting amongst eachother "Is this really it? These are like the weakest form of imps. Most of the fiends in here are apparently only a bother at night anyway" he shrugged it off turning the imps into floating balls of fire in a matter of seconds.
Melanae hesitated trying to get her speech perfect so it didn't come out at lightning speed like it did with the others "The shoopuffs don't exactly live in the forest. Beyond the forest is lots of green grass which apparently tastes... really nice so they often can be found eating... at the edge of the forest" she explained to Zadina.
Amane glanced down at her watch then began dashing off even faster than before "Ididn'tthinkashoepuffwasanythingthat great. Are they oneofyourfavouriteanimalsorhaveyoujustnotseenanybefore. Eitherwayyourinforatreat" she told him cheerfully once she was sure they were getting close to their destination.

Satoshi hesitated cautiously rubbing the lupine's tummy with Gil "Yeah... surprisingly tame, I was half expecting it to bite my hand off. I guess they must only be hostile at night for the viera to have a problem with them. First you have to look at the ground for clues then if theres nothing you check the trees" she lectured him
Felina blushed a little looking away as the kunai skewered the fiend "Yeah they don't seem so bad just yet but we are fairly close to one edge of the forest I think. Maybe we've just been lucky so far" she told him wiping a bit of blood from his clothes "Can you see anything down there Jenna?"
Hayate frowned putting his arrows back in their quiver seeing the imps catch fire "Didn't you take anything else with you Barbaros or is your plan to shoot the net out when we see something useful? If so do you only have one" he asked climbing a little higher into the tree.

Gil smiled shooing the lupine away "Oh some of them aren't that bad, beastmasters can tame almost any animal they choose you know" he said "I even heard a theory that all fiends were once humans" he said examining the trees.
"Nope! Nothing not even a good fiend or two" she sighed padding Boco back to the others and passing Felina her water canister "Don't get bothered about a bit of blood, they'll be more by the end of the day probably" she said as Boco reared his head and toasted a goblin spying on them from a tree.
Oassu nodded "Still we're after something a little more challenging than these things, if the rumours about that unicorn are to be true" he said glancing around.
Barbaros grinned removing the cigar from his mouth "My plan is to net me a unicorn, save it for something important, the net will move fast fired from my cannon. It'll be ideal for catching a speeding horse." he concluded.
Mari sighed "I'm sorry maybe I can try it on the way back, a samurai shouldn't be scared" she said as her ears drooped in shame.
Itaka raised an eyebrow "You have a dream wedding planned?" he chuckled "How much will it cost and what did you have in mind?" he asked kicking a small imp that was gathering acorns in front of him.
Zadina cheered "YeahshoopufsareabsolutelyawesomeyouknowIain'teverseensomethinglikeoneofthembeforeit'llbeacoolnewexperience!" he said skipping over a log as they ran on.

Seph laughed picking up an acorn and began tossing it up and down with her left hand "Oh no I don't mean a dream wedding I have planned out but I once had to do a part time job working in store that made wedding dresses. Some of those cost up to 100,000 gil so I can imagine the costs building up" she explained a little embarrassed by her past career.
Hebal grinned jumping out of the trees then put Mari back on the ground "Try it on the way back and turn that frown upside down, it was a bit of a mean height so I'll let you try it somewhere safer when you try. So where shall we start with this unicorn" she tweeted pinging Mari's ears up.
Alpha stretched his arms out glancing up briefly at Hayate "Sounds like an alright plan but I heared the unicorns are really fast so you might have to put your foot on the gas if you see one in order to have any success" he advised considering possible ways he could set up a trap.
Melanae continued running forward until a minute and a half later when she came to a sudden stop "I know it's going to be exciting for you but you're going to have to be really quiet from here on in. Shoopuffs may seem really tame in places with people in but in the wild they are really shy creatures" she instructed.
Amane nodded her head in understanding, her nose twitching as a fly landed on it "It's so weird you haven't seen a shoopuff before. I wish I was able to see a moomba some time so I kinda understand the feeling" she whispered coming to a stop next to Melanae at the edge of the trees.

Felina paused putting her hand over Oassu's mouth "Shhh... I hear... theres water running nearby possibly a river. If we go check it out we may find something taking a drink on the banks" she suggested to him releasing her hand from his face "Sorry about that, I just needed some quiet time to have a listen"
Satoshi smirked watching the fiend dash away "No way could that theory be true, I mean with demons coming from fiends at least looks belivable but we look and act nothing like fiends" she disagreed examining a couple of spider webs "Beastmasters are interesting people but they don't tend to be that strong, rely too much on their fiends"
Hayate scratched his chin scanning the area around him not expecting to see anything out of the ordinary "I can't hear any hooves nearby so we will have pleanty time to think any plans out. I could always make a few rope or pit traps in the area" he pondered continuing to search around.

Oassu nodded making a few hand signals to Jenna who nodded silently before she padded off to the side quietly. "I hear it too...where's it coming from?" he asked Felina quietly.
Gil smiled "Well anythings possible, surely you can see it in zombies you know? They are just reanimated humans and other beings" he said with a shrug "And if one can rely on an army of fiends why would they need to fight themselves?" he asked.
Barbaroes chuckled "So long as we don't fall into any of them it's all good and don't worry I know to go fast, even then the cannon has long range but I'll only have one shot if it dodges then I'll need to reload" he sighed.
Itaka glanced at Seph frowning as another adamantoise came in to sight minding its own business up ahead "Well thats not so bad, I always figured you'd like a nudist wedding since you don't seem to like clothes" he chuckled "When did you pick up that habit?" he asked.
Mari smiled as her ears perked up "Oh I don't know this forest...why don't we move towards where one of those little silver pins were you know?" she said.
Zadina nodded zipping his lips to indicate his silence as he snuck up with Amane and Melanae "Isthereoneoutthere?" he whispered.
