It was lunch period when the fog rose. Rick was hanging out on the roof of one the school buildings, at the time. "Huh... That's kind of weird-"
He was cut off by the sound of the door swinging open, it was pushed so hard that it made a 'clang' when it hit the wall! "Well well well, what have we here?" It was bullies; Kazuki, and his minions Manta, Ren, and Toru. "Thought you could hide up here, huh?" Kazuki sneered, "but it looks like you've got nowhere to run!"
Rick took a step back, "H-hey, come on, guys! Can't you just lay off for one lousy day?"
Kazuki got a gleam in his eye, "Oh, suddenly you're a tough guy, think you can tell me what to do?" He began slowly walking toward Rick, with the other three following close behind. One of them rolled up the cuffs on his uniform, another cracked his knuckles (with a big grin on his face), and the last tried to make a show of cracking his neck without using his hands (but he couldn't quite get it, so no cracking sound).
There intended victim tried to maintain the distance, but soon felt the ledge behind him! He looked over his shoulder, and saw only fog. He couldn't keep his voice from shaking, "C-come on, what'd I ever do to you guys?"
one of the minions mocked him, "'what'd I ever do to you guy-ha-hies!'" He even gestured as though he were rubbing tears from his eyes.
"You see, this is your problem, right here, Rick. You've got no guts at all! Maybe if you had more of a spine, you wouldn't need our help to toughen up-"
Just at that moment, Kazuki's phone screen lit up, so bright that the light shone even from in his pocket, and started beeping a
tune. "-Wha..? That's not my ringtone!" It started vibrating, and heating up judging by the sudden smoking! "Oh jeez, what's going o-hah-on!?" The minions were dumbstruck, staring slack-jawed as their leader fumbled the cell phone out of his pocket, and tossed it away from himself.
That's when the screen exploded.
A spray of pixels quickly formed into a small green creature, draped in an animal fur, a big stick in one hand, and vaguely egg shaped object in the other. At the same time, a streak of light shot toward Rick, who flinched, only to find a device in his hands. "Uh..." He exchanged to same, confused look with his would-be attackers as the little green man looked up, locking eyes with Rick.
In an instant, it was leaping through the air at him, hollering and hooting like a primate!
That did it; Rick turned, and in one smooth motion, stepped up and launched himself from the ledge! He didn't even think about how high up he was, just as long as he went far enough-
The other building soon came into view, and he caught himself on a lower window ledge!
Thank goodness these buildings were built with the same floor plan! If I'm lucky, one of these windows will be open! Two more jumps between the buildings, and he was close enough to safely drop straight to the ground. once there, he was stooped over, panting, when he heard Kazuki calling from the roof, "Hey, Rick? Are you dead? You owe me a phone, if you're not dead!"
Rick stood up straight, and wobbled; probably dizzy and off balance from the most extreme escape he's ever pulled- when someone spoke directly into his ear, in a growly voice-
"Hey pal, What'd ya jump for? Ya late for somethin'?"
