The monkey's water blast shot toward Lucille while she was still mid-air. Everyone could foresee what would happen when it hit her. Lucille, after all, was the physically weakest member of their party.
However, Just as the pressurized stream was about to connect, she stepped onto what looked like empty air and dodged at the last moment, landing somewhere sideways.
Melayne gasped in surprise.
Before anyone could process what had happened, the monkey shifted its attention to Melayne, and she immediately stepped back, getting ready to fight it. Ning rushed for the monkey.
Jax stared at them, and wanted to go help, but his eyes were fixed at the small spot of land at the center. He had found an opportunity to get the flower.
He pushed through the water as fast as he could manage, heading straight for the small island. As he got close, however, water bubbled next to him.
The monkey flew out of the water and directly struck him in the chest with its pressurized water blast.
