WARNING: Cursing, Violence, Blood, Bone Breaking.

=============

The sound of the planes and blimps circling the area can be heard from above. You do your best to keep away from them as you hid in the bush area. You can feel the wind picking up as if another tornado was circling overhead... However, it seems your assumptions were correct. You can see the same one that was used on the clearing earlier was headed towards the thicket. Thankfully, it didn't hit near your location, but you can still feel the vicious breeze from afar... Other than the constant sounds of the air watchers... You can hear a voice overhead...

"We know you're out there! You can run, but you can't hide!!"

Hilda's voice became irritated and impatient as she was searching overhead. You can barely see her frustration through the forest greenery. In fact, she looked like she could murder someone if she could... As she looked around the area, she started getting further away, only to send out a few more Zepplings at her command.

"You 5! Search for the (guy/girl)! If you find (him/her), bring em' back alive!"

And with that, the threatening Zeppelin started to take off. You watched as the blimp got farther and farther away with the little Zepplings spreading out into the clouded sky above.

It was gonna be a hell of a lot harder to get to Elder Kettle's hut than you anticipated... Though for now, you needed to be careful about how you approached this... Your cloak was gone and you're still recovering a bit from the fall; as well as the fight with Goopy Le Grande... You couldn't afford to get into any more dilemmas right now...

Just before you can do anything, you heard a shrill scream off to the side. You turned towards the distressed call as you heard the birds hidden in the trees flying away from the noise. You decided to check off to the side what it was, moving forward as you can see a small clearing up ahead. You decided to stay in the bushes, just in case you encountered any of the flyers from up above. Then you took a peak past the thistles and thicket to see a field of flowers. There was an abundance of botanic arrangements spread across the area... It was an aesthetically pleasing sight to see compared to the broken down places you've visited... The only saddening part was you can vaguely see a bit of the petals that were either chipped or slightly torn...

But beyond the scenery was where the source of the voice came from. You could see a man in suspenders, being hoisted up by long green vines with yellow thorns on them. The tendrils were wrapped around his body, holding him up in the air as he continuously squirmed. You can see multiple numbers of those appendages surrounding the poor guy. There were two types of plant-like creatures surrounding the area... There was a strange Sycamore Seed, and then there was that black and yellow spotted plant with teeth. But the thing that stood out above everything else, was the giant flower before him. He was a yellow and orange carnation with a wide sadistic grin on his face. He seems to have a few tears near the edge of his petals, and he also has long arms with big sharp hands. He started chuckling in a low tone as he stared down at the man with a most menacing demeanor.

"Scream all you want, buddy! 'Cause when I'm through with you? You're gonna be the one pushin' up daisies!"

You realized who this one was... You remembered Elder Kettle mentioned something about a flower who lived near the edge of the Isle here... This was the guard and huntsman they call: Cagney Carnation...

This was really bad... The situation was looking dire for the man... What do you do?
