The Banan' with a Plan

Indie and Selective Roleplay Blog for the Dancing Banana of internet legend (and more recently, thanks to Shovelware's Brain Game & Shovelware Studios Hollywood). Headcanon heavy, potentially canon divergent, duplicate & crossover friendly. Will feature characters from both Shovelware Studios and otherwise as guest muses. Multi-ships. Also, big emphasis on WIP

The four kept, still limited with carrying an 8ft red crocodile, rushing through the final top floor as fast as they could with their limits. Everything was falling around them, and come close calls were had with debris nearly falling on them. For the most part, most of the obstacles were manageable with single jumps.

The exit was so, so close... But then came a huge pile of fallen ceiling and rooftop that was between them and the only remaining way out. One jump alone wouldn't be enough to clear the height from where they were heading.

"Okay, we're all gonna have to double-jump soon! Everyone ready?"

"Mhmm!", Responded both of his older brothers.

"I...." Hannah still wasn't sure if she'd be able to do it. But they could feel that the trembling was getting worse by the second. Any hesitation might either have them crashing into the pile or getting crushed by more debris. Maybe even both.

"(Imagine the jump button... Just believe that you can do it...)"

Jump button.. That could look just like anything. The first she tried to think of..... a spacebar....?

"Ready.... JUMP!!"

BOING!! The group cleared the first jump. But will they all be able to pull off the second one at the same time?

"ONE MORE!!"

Hannah tried to imagine a big space bar that she had to time carefully for the second jump. Time felt like it slowed down as an imaginary quick-time event appeared in her mind, the space bar button waiting to be pressed at the right moment. Wait for it...

...NOW.

BOING!!

The space bar would finally be 'pressed', and Hannah could feel her legs being able to jump from what she felt like might've been an 'invisible step' from the middle of the air. Together, they were barely able to leap over the tallest debris pile yet...

...But none of them were able to notice just how steep this particular pile would be from the other side of it, causing them all to misstep and roll down the pile of broken ceiling and dirt upon landing. The four yelped and grunted in pain as they rolled, and were forced to let go of the fainted Caiman as he rolled down alongside them. (And probably scuffing him even further, oops.)

Soon they all rolled down to a stop at the bottom of the pile, all lying on the floor with minor scrapes and bruise spots, and dust at first glance. With Hannah, both her hair and her clothing were visibly messier in comparison, but at least had the least visible scrapes due to her longer-sleeved sweater and pants. (Thank goodness they weren't able to force her back into those thin white gowns...) The four groaned in pain, having wished that they would've done that landing much better.

".....Ow.... that hurts...." Middle was the first to sit upright after the impact. He notices the exit just mere feet away from them...

...But he also sees the last bit of ceiling cracking just above where they were all lying down on.

"...gUYS??? GUYS GET UP!!! THE CEILING'S GONNA-!!!"

CRRRRRRRRRRACK.

The largest pieces of rubble yet would fall straight right for them. How tragic that would be, if they were all to be crushed and/or buried under all that debris just short of their doorway to freedom...

That is, that would've been the case, if a yellow blur hadn't noticed from their yelps as he was rushing back to the top, and suddenly picked them all up and rushed them out in the nick of time. Before any of the brothers or Hannah could realize what had happened, they had found themselves placed over the Krookodile's belly while something was effortlessly lifting them all up from underneath said pokémon.

Once they were out, the Krookodile would be placed down carefully as possible, and the others would carefully get down from the creature and barely stand on the ground, opposite of where DB was standing.

"...What was that...?"

"I... I-I think... someone just saved us....."

----------------------------------

Just watch out for the yellow blur that's speedrunning through the building, rushing through rooms and smashing through walls and floors.

With the Key Card in hand, Hannah was able to get the elevator door open for them to get in. That part was easy. Getting the heavily injured, 8ft tall croc upright in order for them to fit inside was the HARD part, taking all four a good moment before they finally managed to get him in.

Inside the elevator, the four would find themselves taking a breather, panting from all that heavy lifting. After she pressed the button to the uppermost floor, the elevator doors would close, and it trekked on up, lifting them slowly but (surprisingly) efficiently despite the damage that lab's been taking.

"....H.... my arms.... hurt......*phew* . s-so.... so tired...." Middle complained.

6th floor...

"....We're..... we're almost.... outta here..... gotta.... *phew* ....keep it up....." Peel was tired too, but he sure didn't want to stay around this crumbling lab as much as any other sane person would.

5th. 4th....

The trembles from the building worsened, yet the elevator carries on.

3rd. 2nd...

...In spite of everything they had to go through, was it really that easy of an escape all this time?

...No. Hannah knew that this wouldn't have been possible if it hadn't been for Bitter Fox's help. Not only from actually breaking them out of their cells and defeating most of the armed scientists and guards for them, but also for reasoning with her to keep on going and not give up so soon.

1st...

...... Hannah hoped that someday... She can both thank Bitter Fox for her help.... And also apologize for not being able to help her back enough.

Ding.

The uppermost entry floor.

The elevator would open up to reveal the disaster that had been left. Dust and debris were everywhere, making it harder to see and navigate. Enough to censor most of the fallen from their sight, thankfully. But still, it's an unforeseen blessing in exchange for making their final bout of escape all the more difficult.

Also, there's a huge gaping hole between the elevator and the exit, so walking nor double-jumping across it wasn't an option, especially when you still have a large red crocodile to carry out.

"No.... w-we're so close....."

"I mean... it doesn't look so bad..." Oldest observed.

"Looks like we just gotta obby right over the stuff."

"Obby?? Like those obstacle courses Mr. Banana makes? B-but... I still haven't figured out how to double-jump...."

"It's really easy - just press the jump button twice!"

"That's what I don't get - what jump button??" She doesn't see a 'button' she should be able to recognize, even when she was first being taught about one of the obbies.

The building shook greatly. Even more debris fell around them, some piling over the others.

"We don't got a lot of time left to explain. Just... I dunno, imagine that button or something! Now let's GO!" Peel huffed, as the four got to lifting the Krookodile again. Second time lifting the beast wasn't any much easier, but as far as they knew, they still were on their own without any help...
