Blue plasma hummed from the end of the Imperative Rod as Lexi hiked up her skirt and waded through the water to face him.

Truth be told, these monsters scared the heck out of her. But the alien device she wielded had saved her both times she had faced them, and the girl hadn’t known how to use it on either occasion. Now, not only did she understand how to draw the energy out, her time spent building a fort and crafting clothes had given Lexi an excellent feel for how fast to speed the plasma particles in order to cut certain things, such as bamboo, leather, and white-eyed zombie dudes.

The man splashed through the water at her, lunging with his claws the moment he was close.

Lexi stepped to the side and swung her blade, knocking his hand away before plunging the blade into his side.

Too easy.

She backed away as he began to change, just like the previous two. It wasn’t shocking this time, to see his bones grow and his skin harden, twisting into the shape of a tree. It was anti-climactic enough that she wanted to keep going while he did his thing, but – Wait, is that a belt?

… And there’s something on it.

Lexi dove forward, spearing her weapon into the leather. She knew that it would have split anyways – might as well cut it near the buckle so that it kept some length. The belt dropped into her hand, along with the hard leather tube attached to it.

There was no doubt that the strap would come in handy, but what is this pouchy thing? It was less than a foot in length, cylindrical, with three distinct steps where it shrunk down to a smaller diameter.

There was a cap at the top – the widest end – which unclipped and hinged open and – holy crap! … It’s a telescope!

Lexi snatched it out of the case and had it to her eye in an instant. She let out a breath. I can see!

It was compact at its smallest size, but more than doubled in length when she extended the silver tubes to their maximum length. She wanted to get out of the enclosed jungle to try it out properly. But even within the tight confines of thick foliage it helped her see.

The girl was downright giddy. Of all the things that Lexi could have found, she didn’t think anything could possibly be as valuable to her at that moment. Well, except for maybe my glasses. And my cellphone – DEFINITELY my phone. Oh, and a pizza.

Lexi slid the spyglass together and dropped it safely into the pouch. After having sliced the belt apart, she needed the Imperative Rod to poke a new hole in the end so that she could buckle it back together. If she ever found a break in the jungle, or a spot to sit down, Lexi would have to find a way to weave the belt through her skirt to keep it from falling down.
