On the outskirts of Camp Everfree, Timber Spruce, wearing a deep green rash guard and a new pair of teal swimming trunks, climbs up a tree and looks ahead. He sees a group of vines swinging back and forth.
“I can’t believe that this is happening.” Timber said to himself. “My own sister, kidnapped by strange characters.”
Flashback
Timber and his sister, Gloriosa Daisy, are getting Camp Everfree ready for another summer. Just then, two young people, dressed in light green tunics and dark green tights appeared. One of the people, a young man with lime green skin and midnight blue hair approached the duo holding up a glowing green crystal.
“Come with us, Miss Daisy.” The young man said.
Gloriosa’s eyes glowed bright green as she responds with a low voice. “Yes, master.”
The young counselor slowly walks up to the duo. Timber was shocked to see that.
“Hey!” Timber shouted. “What are you doing to my sister?”
“We are taking her with us, Timber Spruce.” The young man replied. “Using the power of the forest, we shall resurrect Gaia Everfree. And, she will help us tear down your unneeded camp.”
The other person, a sky blue skinned girl with curly confronts Gloriosa.
“Remove your shoes!” The young girl ordered.
Under the hypnotic spell, Gloriosa took off her shoes and kicked them aside. The young girl then took out some rope and tied Gloriosa’s hands behind her back.
“Leave her alone!” Timber yelled as he charged towards the invaders.
The boy gave him a strong roundhouse kick. “NO!!”
Timber fell back as she sees the two intruders with the bound and helpless Gloriosa draped over the girl’s shoulder.
“We WILL bring back Gaia Everfree.” The boy demanded. “And, NOBODY MUST STOP US!”
The two strangers ran off carrying Gloriosa away from her brother. Timber watched in horror.
End of Flashback
“I know where those two took my sister.” Timber figured. “There’s an old fortress that was used about two hundered years ago, And, I’m going over there to rescue her.”
Timber sees the vines swinging back and forth. He jumps on the first vine, and starts to swing. When the next vine swings close enough, he jumps to it. And so, it goes on. Timber goes from vine to vine. Nothing slows him down. Not even mischievous monkeys that look down to him. The last vine leads Timber to a lake. He soon jumps in, and looks ahead.
“I better be careful.” Timber thought out loud. “I heard that there are alligators in this lake.”
Fearlessly, Timber swims in the lake. He sees a gator up ahead, and dives underwater. Knowing he can’t hold his breath very long, he comes up to the surface for air. Timber keeps swimming and diving, avoiding alligators along the way.
When he reached the end, Timber went up on dry land. Suddenly, he sees Twilight Sparkle with a duffle bag rushing up to him.
“Twilight?” Timber said with confusion. “What are you doing here?”
“I heard about what happened.” Twilight explained as she hands him the bag. “I’m here to lend support.”
A minute later, Timber switched outfits. He now wore a green denim shirt, blue denim shorts, and brown hiking boots.
“Thanks for the clothing.” Timber praised. “Hiking up to that fortress would be rough on bare feet.”
“You’re welcome, Timber.” Twilight replied. “I also have news on the kidnappers. The boy is named Rough Branch, and his companion is Stream Skyshot.”
“I heard those names before. Didn’t they used to be counselors at Camp Everfree?”
“That’s right. But, they are so obsessed by forest legends, they would grab any kid and subject him or her, thinking any dark legend is true. They were eventually fired from the camp.”
A thought came to Timber’s head. “So, by trying to bring Gaia Everfree back to life, they will have revenge.”
“Not if you can stop them.” Twilight added. “I know where that fortress is. I’ll call the park authorities while you rescue Gloriosa.”
“Right! Wish me luck.”
Timber then took off as Twilight started dialing her phone. Timber made his way up a large hill. Suddenly, he saw some rocks heading his way. He started jumping over the small rocks, and ducked under the large ones.
“Those two must be ready to intercept invaders.” Timber figured. “This won’t stop me!”
Timber still made his way up the hill, avoiding the rocks along the way. When he reached the top, he caught his breath. I knew volunteering for lifeguard duty was worth it. Now, to save my sister.
Timber made his way to the fortress. He sees his sister sitting in what looks like a stone circle. Her hands were still tied behind her back. Now, her ankles are tied together. Her eyes were still glowing green. Her abductors turned to two bulky men wearing jungle masks, dark green shorts, and carrying pointy spears.
“We’re going in the meeting room to prepare the ritual.” Stream Skyshot explained. “That spell we placed on her will wear off in twenty minutes.”
“Meanwhile,” Rough Branch continued, “you two stand guard of this girl.”
The brutes nodded as the former campers went into a meeting area. Seeing enough, Timber went in to save Gloriosa.
“Nothing is going to stop me from saving my sister.” Timber said as the brutes confronted him. “Not even you two goons!”
One of the brutes charged at Timber. But, he jumped out of the way, and punched the brute in the stomach. The other one struck down, using the spear like a hammer. But, Timber avoided the spear and jumped over him. He went over to Gloriosa, draped her over his shoulder, and ran away. As he exited the fortress, Rough Branch came out and saw what happened.
“Out offering is gone!” Rough Branch yelled. “We must get her back!”
Suddenly, he sees a police helicopter over the area. Stream Skyshot got worried. “I think we have other problems to worry about.”
Later, Gloriosa slowly opened her eyes, and sees her brother smile.
“Timber?” Gloriosa said with confusion. “Is that you?”
“In the flesh.” Timber replied.
The siblings hugged each other happily. Timber explained everything to Gloriosa. She felt very happy that the nightmare is over. But, one thing crossed her mind. “What happened to Rough Branch and Stream Skyshot?”
“The police felt that those two are so possessed by dark legends,” Timber explained, “they felt that time in a mental hospital can help them. I think about three months should do the trick.”
Gloriosa Daisy smiled, and asked Timber for something. “Shall we get back to getting the camp ready?”
“Sure enough.” Timber explained as he and his sister made their way back to Camp Everfree.
