Garnet was rushing in to the chaos of campers with Asher in her sights. It was too late for him to realize that she was also wearing the night vision glasses from storage. It only made sense that out of all the staff she would need to see the most so that she could maintain proper rules and safety.
"Don't be so confident that you will walk in to a trap. You just found the boss." Her words made Asher tense up, but he was the only person she was after and there was nothing she could do about it.
"I won't be backing down!" Asher took all his courage to stand straight and dodge the first kick coming at him. He knew that Garnet would lead with a stronger attack and made sure that he wouldn't fall victim to it.
The running campers and the shouts from fake prisoners were increasing by the second since Garnet's yell had brought the fake prisoners back. This was increasing the confusion making it easier for some to disappear towards the camp or back in to the woods. With this going on Asher had the hope that Garnet would still be distracted and unable to properly attack, he was wrong.
Another kick came at him and made him jump back as hard as he could. The follow up combination of punches started to put him off balance but he was able to somehow twist and turn to stay upright and in his fighting stance. Asher threw out his own punch but it was a fruitless effort. Garnet barely turned and the punch went past her.
"Asher!" Jane shouted from somewhere behind Asher making him stop slightly. This hesitation was all Garnet needed to reach out and grab Asher's arm. She knew that he had been practicing throws, but she had a feeling he had not worked on throw defenses.
Jane was able to tell that Garnet had a pair of night vision glasses as well. She knew instantly that this put her on a level playing field as Asher and herself. The problem was that they had used their mini flash bombs and couldn't do anything to try and blind Garnet. She thought that she had been backed in to a corner and was going to see Asher easily captured while everyone else escaped to safety.
For a moment Jane thought that she should rush in and try to fight Garnet with Asher, but she froze. She had a better idea as she had taken the first step forward. Jane moved towards Garnet who had started to keep an eye on her due to the previous shout.
"You have the night vision glasses from the storage building like Asher and me. That means you can see what people look like, right?" Jane said this while pulling off the glasses and the mask she wore. Garnet had realized that she was about to be burdened by Jane's super power but could not act quick enough to block her eyes.
Garnet saw Jane's face and was instantly stuck to the spot she was in like glue. She was about to put the force in to flipping Asher but now silently watched as Asher slipped her grip and looked around.
"Nice thinking Jane. Since she is like us then she can see your face. IU am going to find something to tie her feet so we can run, wait there." Asher rushed to the side of the overhead tent and undid one of the ropes for stability. He was back to Jane and Garnet in just a moment.
He could feel her glares on the back of his neck as he tides the rope around Garnet's legs. "These won't hold forever but it is enough to give us time to escape. I already looked around earlier and found a way to follow a trail back to camp. Let's hope that The others are heading back too."
Asher grabbed Jane's hand and mask so that he could lead her away. The moment Jane moved they heard Garnet fall to the ground. In a moment Jane had the mask and the night vision glasses back on. She was still holding on to Asher's hand while they ran.
"If we get separated just follow the broken branches. It is their trick to stay on the trail and keep track of where they have been." Asher shared this with Jane and picked up the pace. He knew that if Garnet got free sooner than he expected, that she would be furious. She was a prideful person and wouldn't be able to stand being outdone so easily.
"That was perfect teamwork. We should be able to make it back to camp and show off our achievement. I never thought that they would pretend to be prisoners to get us in to the heat of the moment." Jane was trying to talk while they ran but Walker quickly found that he could not reply and that Jane couldn't elaborate.
Jane wanted to keep talking but settled for holding Asher's hand to run. While she was doing this Asher couldn't hello but find himself wondering why Jane was still holding his hand. He ended up deciding that the night vision glasses weren't working too well due to her throwing them off with her mask.
"Jane, I see the camp entrance. We didn't even need to pass the river. We went around in a circle." Asher was overjoyed to see that there were many campers already waiting at the archway entrance of the camp. They had all gathered as they escaped to wait for the next event to do. They knew all too well that the night training couldn't end so quickly.
"Check it out, the mastermind is back!" The campers could make out the face of Asher and Jane as they ran up. The light that was set up on the wooden archway to display the camp name also was equipped to show where it was at night. The campers all fell in to murmuring about the plan and the prison break. Asher could only find the situation amazing in its' own right. He had not expected to be known as the master mind.
