Eddie was finally awake, while looking around, the place was dark, as if there wasn't...

Eddie: ?!

The moon wasn't there, instead, there was a giant hole with a green vortex inside of it, but then.

" Hellooo! Anyone can hear me? "

Hearing that, Eddie went to find the source of the sound and.

Flora: Hmpf!

There's the girl, she was struggling to get out from green tentacles, she was hanging upside down.

Eddie: Wait, you're gonna hurt yourself.

Flora: 'Gasp!' Stay back!

Eddie: I don't mean any harm.

Flora: Mhm, and i'm Forest Gump.

Eddie: .... What can i do for you to believe me?

Flora: .....

She was looking at him, he was just looking at her without changing his gaze.

Flora: Cut these things first.

Eddie: Alright, you give the orders.

'Slash!'

He used his hunting knife to cut the tentacles and free Flora.

Flora: Now give me that.

Eddie: ? Aren't you too young to handle one of thes-

Flora: Just give me it!

Eddie: ... Alright alright.

And as Eddie handled it to her.

Eddie: Hey, are you alright?

Flora: Ouch...

She was holding her neck.
