A whole different world....

[Shadow Gash]

As he looked around, all he could see was sand, sand.....and guess what? more sand. If there were landmarks that he might of recognized back where he came from....in the middle of the desert, he wouldn't know. He needed answers, he needed someone to give it to him, but every which way he went no one was there to help him.

Who was he?

Where was he?

Can anyone tell him?

It bothered him like it would bothered a dog when he can't catch his tail and gives up. He didn't want to give up, but there was no other choice.

It feels like the end of the world and he was the only survivor there, only downside is he doesn't know who he is? what he is?

In the end, he probably was left there to die.

He plops himself down on sand, coughing 'cause that wasn't the greatest idea yet, but who cares.

As of right now, the scorching hot weather and the blazing sun are his only friends, and with that thought, he just might be crazy.

He closes his eyes, and awaits death, if it was meant to be. A slow painful death.

STOP THE CAR! *Panda slams on the breaks and whips around to face me* Back up! I think I saw something back there to the side of the road *I point behind us and look out the back window*

Grizzly this better be good. *I put the car in reverse and start to back up when I notice what Grizzly saw. I turn the car off immediately and jump out of it. I draw out my gun and carefully approach the figure laying in the sand a few hundred meters in front of me.* Hello?! *I get closer when there's no answer and soon recognize the face* GASH!? *I run over to his side and sit down. I shake his shoulders to try and wake him* Wake up!

[Shadow Gash]

He slowly opens his eyes, wondering who the HELL is disturbing him in his time of death. The figure at first was blurry, and suddenly it became clear. He tried to speak but his throat was dried so it ended up being a cough.

[Toxic Panda]

*I watch as he opens his eyes and I smile slightly. Hearing him cough, I turn to Acid who is a few feet behind me watching* Go see if you can find any water in the car. *I turn back to Gash, still a little on edge* Gash? You okay? *Before I continue I hear Acid running up behind me.*

*I take a breath and hand the canister to Panda* Found it in the back.....not a lot though, I thinks it's the last that we have on us.

*I take the water and hold it out for Gash* Here. Drink it.

[Shadow Gash]

He didn't know what they were giving him but he was grateful. It was water. He grabbed the canister greedily, drank all the water that was there. His throat felt better, looking down he felt bad.
"S-Sorry..." he handed the canister to the stranger as he sat up and look down at the sand. "Um....who are you? why are you helping me?" what's a 'gash'? is that a thing? a person? is that me? he thought this as he slowly looks up at this person, confusion clearly on his face.

[Toxic Panda]

*I took the canister and smiled* It's okay we can always find more. *I set it down beside me on the ground and looked at Gash.* I'm Toxic Panda, I'm friends with Cola... *I'm a little confused since the two have us met before. That was a while back though so he may have forgotten* As for helping you, well thats what killjoys do, we help each other. By the looks of it you really needed the help too.

[Shadow Gash]

The new vocabulary made his head hurt. What is she talking about? Cola? Isn't that a drink? I'm pretty sure if he knew the way back to Battery City he might get some answers or from her, whoever, she's closests.
"Um...I know you? and this Cola person? or thing?" he looked at her even more confused, maybe she's crazy and needs to go back to Battery City as well.

[Toxic Panda]

*I cock my head in confusion. He doesn't remember Cola? What ever happened to him must have been bad.* Yes, we've met before. A while ago actually. *i pause and think. I look at his face and can tell he has no clue what I'm talking about* You don't remember anything do you Gash?

[Shadow Gash]

Takes him to realize that HE was Gash. He looks down at his hands, why was he Gash? Trying to understand this makes his head hurt even more, and this heat wasn't helping.
"G-Gash...." he clearly sounded like a baby who just spat out his first words, or a babbling idiot that clearly can't understand even the simplest of things. He shook his head "....All I know is that I woke in the middle of nowhere and I just remember sand....miles and miles of it, I know that I was in Battery City, but I don't know why" he paused and clenched his hand.
"I don't know you, I don't know who I am, or who you're talking about, I'm grateful for your help....but you're a total stranger to me"

[Toxic Panda]

*I look at the sand and sigh* Well the desert does tend to have sand in it. *I smile and look at the horizon as i notice the sun slinking toward it. I turn to Acid and Grizzly. I stand up and offer to help Gash up.* We're heading to Zone 6. We have water, food, and a place to stay. If you want you can come with us and I can try and explain everything, if not, well you probably won't last much longer out here by yourself.

[Shadow Gash]

He looked at her hand for a moment - it was very welcoming. After a minute he took her hand and got up. The offer was what got to him, that and the opportunity to find out who he was; apparently she knew him and that was a sign that others did too.

"I'd like that..." is what all he could mustered, he sort of smiled at her - grateful for the little things she've done.

[Toxic Panda]

*I smiled back at him as he took my offer and I started walking to the car parked on the side of the road. I looked back and motioned for him to follow* Well don't just stand there, come on. Oh by the way that's Grizzly Kid and Acid Clown *They both waved and got into the back of the car. I hopped in the drivers seat and started the engine*

[Shadow Gash]

He nodded at both of them, and followed her to the car. He opened the door to the passanger seat and sat there. As she drove of, he couldn't help but think that he should really head back to Battery City. However, he needed to find out who he was first and how she knows him and who else knew him. So many questions, he doesn't know where to begin.

[Toxic Panda]

*The ride was spent in silence for the first half hour. None of us didn't know what to say. I glanced over at Gash who seemed to be lost in thought* So, how exactly did you end up by yourself in the desert? Did someone leave you or drop you off? That is if you can remember.

[Shadow Gash]

He thought for second on how he appeared where he was. "All I remember was that I woke up in the middle of the desert and I just started walking at a general direction, attempting to find my way out, which clearly is impossible." he looked down at his hands "I also have the strong urge to go to Battery City for some reason. I don't want to go just yet because I'd like to know who i am and what's my purpose"
Silence for a moment, the car ride was slightly bumpy for a bit "Tell me how do you know me? Am I suppose to know you?"
