My 15th: NOW what?

[Narrator]

A quiet day on the quad...

...until the ground beneath them began to shake, at least...

[Gaius Montgomery]

Guy was wandering campus between classes in order to get a feel for the place when he felt the ground shake.

"Already? Well... at least it wasn't on my first day."

[Narrator]

The ground underneath Guy's feet started to slurry, turning into a bit of mud...or perhaps it could better be described as quicksand.

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Quicksand? What, is this a cheesy adventure film?"

Very slowly, he moved to get flat on the ground and crawl to safer land.

[Narrator]

Gaius had apparently Read the Manual (tm).

But as he kept swimming towards safety, the ground he grabbed onto kept crumbling in his fingers.

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Bloody cheater you are," he scolded the ground as he kept calmly moving.

"A little help would be champion about now!"

[Narrator]

A little help? Sure!

That's when some of the grass grew longer and wrapped itself around Guy's wrists.

[Gaius Montgomery]

"This is rubbish!"

He phased out of its grip and resumed moving.

[Narrator]

And then a strange hissing noise came from behind, as from the ground behind him, some kind of strange....vine, or something...grew out of the ground.

Some kind of strange vine with a big mouth.

[Gaius Montgomery]

He rolled over, but now crawled backwards. "It had to be snake vines."

[Narrator]

Seemingly put off by the bad reference, the vine opened it's mouth, and spat...a ball of fire, right towards Guy!

[Gaius Montgomery]

He phased and the flame passed through him harmlessly. In response, he conjured a wisp to hopefully distract it.

[Narrator]

This plant wasn't gonna be fooled by a perty light, and dove in to try to take a bite out o' Guy.

[Gaius Montgomery]

He kicked at its "head" with skilled timing, but was prepared for pain.

[Narrator]

The thing's head snapped up under the kick, and it wailed, before spitting more fire...and another one began to grow behind him.

[Gaius Montgomery]

"Bloody hell..." he said after he phased to avoid the fire.

[Narrator]

The plants seemed to be getting annoyed with his phasing, and now were waiting right over him--he surely couldn't stay phased forever, could he?

[Gaius Montgomery]

He'd run out of breath eventually, but he had an idea. Still phased, he pulled a metallic pen from his pocket and jammed it into the "neck" of the nearest vine before instantly releasing it. Out of his power's influence it would re-materialize, and... well... two objects can't inhabit the same space.

[Narrator]

...which caused the vine to stagger back as if shot---and then, with a sluuuuuuurpig sound, both vines retreated into the earth, and the ground beneath them solidified.

[Gaius Montgomery]

He un-phased and got up, now muddy from head to toe.
