« Bamʼs POV »
I was just about to fly and follow to where the streaks of that strange light were headed when a hand held my arm back, stopping me.
"Wait." I looked over to the both of them, then to Scarlet who had a firm grip in my arm. "Are you just going to charge in there alone? Without a plan?"
"Whatʼs the use of planning when we literally have no idea how this place works?" Mori declared with a crazed grin, fixing his grip on his staff. They both have a fair point, but there is no use being skeptical at this point of time.
"You two also lost track of your companions, right?" They nodded, tilting their heads in curiosity as I formed a large blue disk made of shinsu on mid-air. Wherever those lights were headed, it should cause enough commotion to attract people. Hopefully, the others that were brought along with us would have noticed it. "Iʼm sure theyʼll head there as well. Since we still donʼt know how our powers work around here, weʼll do the fastest route, using as little effort as possible.
Scarlet thought for a moment before reluctantly agreeing, stepping onto the platform. Mori was rather excited, jumping on it, asking about how it works, and how much weight it can hold. As soon as we were finally situated, we headed over to the lightʼs trajectory.
As we flew over, the land was surprisingly desolate from the area where we met. There were a few greenery, but as we approached closer to our supposed destination, a pathway was becoming visible, signifying a civilized premise. Before we had the chance to react, a figure suddenly swept past me.
It was large, brown, and screaming its lungs out?
"Woah there!" Thankfully, Mori had skillfully stopped its momentum. "Wait, is that you Rak?"
"Black Turtle!" I felt a sense of relief wash over my senses as soon as I saw the crocodile settle himself on the platform. Laughing lightly, I embraced him knowing that he would be the last one to initiate it. "I donʼt understand whatʼs happening, but thatʼs okay!"
"Youʼre still compressed." That must mean it wasnʼt that long before he got transported in this world too. "But, thank goodness youʼre here."
"Ahem," Scarlet cleared her throat amidst our reunion, looking at Rak, bewildered. "I hate to break it to you guys, but I believe weʼre in the middle of something?"
I smiled sheepishly, scratching my cheek. "Oh, sorry about that. Guys, this is Rak. One of my companions from the world I was talking about earlier. This is his compressed form, but he should go back to his original size soon."
Rak stood proudly at that.
"Rak, this is Scarlet and Jin Mori. They have their own abilities as well, but a bit different than how ours work. Itʼs been days since we were swept together in one area."
"You mean there are other turtles from the war who were dragged in here too?" He asked as we finally picked up the pace.
"I donʼt know yet," I shook my head in dismay. It sucks being kept in the dark about everything. "Weʼre headed to where the light was directed. It must have had something to do with why we were suddenly transported in here."
"You mean there?" he pointed towards a distance where something that seemed like a watchtower can be seen. "I found a prey there. Itʼs what threw me past you."
"It what—" Moriʼs eyes shined, excitement evident in his voice. Somehow, I think Rak finally found a match.
"Iʼm the one whoʼll hunt it." The latterʼs glare turned sharp with fiery determination.
"No," meanwhile, Mori stared back with the same intensity. "Itʼs mine."
"Guys, get down!"

"Fucking trash."
« Endorsiʼs POV »
Was what we heard him mumble before John charged again towards the newly generated monsters. Where had that weak link run off to that he was replaced with a bloodlustrous doppelganger?
"Uh, guys?" Ilbyo called out, lifting us from our thoughts. "Maybe we should save the surprised looks later and help John out?"
Taejin and I nodded in response, then proceeded mapping out our formations. Since I had control over the original bong-bong Taejin and I were assigned to aid John in stalling for time, and him finding out weaknesses until Ilbyo could find the source of how and why the monsters kept multiplying.
Recovering from the initial shock, I kicked away the nonsters that were about to shove John from the back, poking holes or even beheading them with my killer heels. Gramps Taejin seemed to be in an even better shape, casually chopping off the weak onesʼ heads and doing a successful job grabbing their attention.
"No, no, no!" Then John suddenly crouched, clutching his head painstakingly. What is happening to him? He doesnʼt seem to be hurt or injured anywhere on his body. "Get the hell away from me! Take your filthy hands off of me!"
I approached him, gesturing for Ilbyo and Taejin in case something happens. "Hey John, get a grip and hang in there, okay? This is not the time to relive your inner wounds yet." He exuded an intimidating aura, which was rather uncalled for. As if someone else had just taken over his body.
"I did nothing wrong," he wispered to himself barely audibly.
"Yes John, thatʼs right. You did nothing wron—" Taejin was taken aback when the ravenetteʼs hands almost landed to his body.
"I DID NOTHING WRONG!"
It was a good thing I had took a step back before he could wrap his hands around my neck. It seems that Johnʼs trauma had resurfaced once again, and itʼs eating his sanity alive. He soon started attacking monsters, and even us, his temporary teammates.
"They deserved it! Those traitors fucking deserved it!" His eyes glowed a menacing gold as he looked at us, estranged.
Remember when I said something about him reminds me of Bam? This was the face he made when Rachel got to Khun. The unparalleled anger. But the rest? I take it all back.
Using the four black bong-bongs he copied from me (I swear Iʼm never letting this go), he targeted us as we tried to knock him out of his trance. Just then, something large just dropped dead on John.
"Need some help?"
ー・ー
