CHAPTER 15

Just then, they both heard a voice from the doorway. "Guys stop!" cried Sweet Burger. The two burgers looked up at her to see what was going on. "Fomo Burger, I love you!" she shouted. Fomo Burger felt lost, a wave of unfamiliar emotions flowed through him. As much as he disliked Sweet Burger in this moment, he still felt butterflies in his stomach. "Now Chicken Burger!" exclaimed Sweet Burger. Chicken Burger then swung a right hook at Fomo Burger, knocking him over. "Good job, the plan actually worked" said Chicken Burger. "Yeah ha ha, we totally tricked him" Sweet Burger replied. Suddenly, Sweet Burger got shoved to the side.

It was Cool Burger, he had returned for Fomo Burger. With his momentum, he ran into the room and kicked Chicken Burger in the stomach, winding him. He then put Fomo Burger's arm around his shoulders, and helped him stumble out the room. "Keep breathing, we're going to get out of here" explained Cool Burger. The two of them then ran out of the warehouse and into Cool Burger's car. Cool Burger then started to drive away as fast as he could.

Fomo Burger felt nauseous. He looked over to Rockstar Taco who had fallen asleep. Not only was a chunk of his face now missing, but he had injuries all over him. "You alright back there?" Cool Burger asked. "Yeah, not really, I need a doctor or something" Fomo Burger replied. "I don't know where to find one, this whole city's an apocalypse now, I doubt anyone is working" said Cool Burger. "It's fine, just can we find some bandages or something?" Fomo Burger asked. "Yeah sure" Cool Burger said "Hey listen, I want you to know i'm not mad at you anymore for what you did to Quirky Burger, I know it was an accident". "Really? So are we good?" Fomo Burger questioned. "Well not completely, i'm forgiving you but i'm not forgetting it. It will always remain a memory in my head" responded Cool Burger. Fomo Burger grunted in pain as he turned to look out the car window. He still couldn't believe that everything that had happened had been his fault.

The group eventually got back to Cool Burger's base and began to relax. Rockstar Taco had woken up and began to look at her neck and back in the mirror. "Man I shouldn't have used my hybrid stuff so much" she muttered. The infection looked as if It was throbbing. "Do you know any fix?" Cool Burger nonchalantly asked. "Nah, it has never been this bad before" she replied. "Maybe don't use those powers for a while" Cool Burger suggested. "You remind me of my old band's drummer, I miss them" Rockstar Taco said. Cool Burger looked down at the ground. "I'm sorry" he said.

"Good news, I found some bandages in one of your cabinets" Fomo Burger explained as he entered. Cool Burger then assisted Rockstar Taco and Fomo Burger with wrapping the bandages around their injuries. "We should rest" Cool Burger suggested. The others agreed and then they all went to sleep. In the morning, Fomo Burger woke up to a bunch of noises from outside. He then noticed nobody else was in the base, so he walked outside.

When he got outside, he saw Cool Burger and Rockstar Taco talking to a person he had never seen before. It was a burger, with a dark cloak over his head, and a beard that went down to his chest. Fomo Burger was still waking up, so he couldn't understand what they were talking abt. The mysterious burger then handed Cool Burger a note and left. "Oh dude, you're finally up!" Rockstar Taco yelled as she walked over to Fomo Burger. "Who was that?" Fomo Burger asked. "He says his name is Wise Burger and he thinks he can help us" she replied. "How?" asked Fomo Burger. "Well he said he had been looking for us, because he knew we opened the amulet" she said. "Wait he knows about the amulet?" Fomo Burger questioned. "Yeah, and he gave us his location so we could go there and he could teach us more about it" responded Rockstar Taco. "Get ready quick, we are going in half an hour" Cool Burger ordered as he walked past Fomo Burger into the base. Suddenly out of nowhere, a tree branch penetrated through the bottom of Cool Burger's car.

"Not that thing again" Fomo Burger thought to himself. A tree creature then crawled out the ground until it was on the surface. "Guys what are you doing? Run!" Rockstar Taco said already sprinting down the road. The two guys followed. "We could try run to Wise Burger's location, it's in the city subway" Cool Burger suggested. "Let's go then" Fomo Burger agreed. The three of them then began to run into the city, with the tree creature following close behind. The creature then shot out a sharp branch at Fomo Burger, piercing him through the side of his body. He let out a scream of pain as he fell over due to his running momentum. The tree creature towered over Fomo Burger, letting out a roar. Rockstar Taco turned around, only to see the creature lift up a branch, preparing to stab Fomo Burger through the face.
