Crystal - The Afterlife

                    The guys found themselves in Hazel's world. They were standing in a clearing surrounded by trees.

"Is this your world?"Nicholas asked.- And I thought there would be, well, graves, for example.

- Why did you think that?Georgie asked, puzzled.

- Well, this is the Afterlife. - Nicholas highlighted the fifth word.

- Well, it's not that literal..Hazel drawled.- Let's get out of this clearing.

- Where do we go first?Lex asked.

"To my kingdom," Hazel replied, and calling his friends after him, he left the clearing.

And now, everyone was already standing in front of the cave. Hazel beckoned to the boys, and they went into the darkness. It was dark in the cave. And suddenly, something lit up behind Aidan.

- What is it?Lex asked, turning around. He saw Georgie's head glow.

- Oh, right, I'm a light bulb..He rubbed the back of Georgie's head.

- Here it is-the light source.Baxter said, and taking Georgie by the shoulders, put him in front of everyone, and he walked back to Aidan.

The guys went inside the cave, and their eyes bulged with surprise. All residents were on alert! Skeletons rolled cannons behind them, some crystals trained and dressed in military uniforms, and two crystals stood on a stone and supervised this process.

- Whoa, what's going on?Hazel asked, approaching the commanders.

- What do you mean? You don't know what...- the crystals turned, and gasped."Ruler Hazel?!

And then, hearing this, all the crystals and skeletons turned towards Hazel, and when they saw him, they ran to him with hugs.

When all the inhabitants greeted their ruler, Hazel introduced them to his friends, and sat on the throne.

"So I have one big question," Hazel said.- What's going on?

"Ruler Hazel, you've missed a lot of things...- the commander drawled.- A very bad person has appeared in our world... He can control people like puppets! He took five of ours, but we managed to get them back... And so, we decided to go for it!!!

- You know, I don't want to put my people in danger... Therefore, I will go to it myself. - Hazel said firmly, and rose from the throne.

Someone in the crowd laughed. The villagers parted, and Baxter appeared.

- Are you serious?he chuckled.- And what are we for? You said yourself that we collect the same as us. And now you're going to go alone? What about our team? No, well, if of course you want to lose, then please go.

Hazel grinned.

- Okay, let's go together...- he drawled, and approaching his friends, addressed the people.- So, we are going to this villain together! We will definitely come back, so everything will be fine...

And so, the guys were already walking through the forest.

- It's good that one of the crystals gave us the coordinates...Jeremy drawled.- Otherwise, it is unknown how long we would have walked..

- We're still walking.Lex chuckled.

- Wait.Ray stopped them.

- what?Nicholas asked.

- There's something rustling in the bushes...Ray replied.

And then, a man ran out of the bushes and stopped in front of them. The man had grayish skin, gray whites of his eyes, crystal-shaped pupils, freckles on his cheeks, circles under his eyes. The man had six ears, a patch on his nose, red hair with black roots. The man was dressed in a dark green jacket, bandages on his right arm.
