"...What should we do now?" Flake asks, sitting in the sand

"I'm not sure" Clara stares

Yami sits in silence

"What can we do?" Kyron asks

"Find food...after that, I don't know" Carry shakes her head

"This is one hell of a way to meet and greet, huh?" Metal asks

Putty laughs a bit

"I'll go look for some food, Mar was it? Wanna come with me?" Jason asks

"Sure" Mar gets up, following after Jason

Yami picks up a bit of sand, watching it fall through her hands

"You okay over there? He was the only reason you came back, wasn't he?" Flake asks

Yami gets up and starts walking towards a tree

"Yami?" Flake starts walking towards Yami

Yami rips a branch off and comes back to the group

"What-are you doing?" Flake asks, following her

"Don't worry about it" Yami starts writing in the sand, laying down

Flake watches her

"OH SH!T, RUN, RUN, RUN" Jason yells as gunfire rings out

"WHAT THE F#CK DO YOU THINK I'M DOING?" Mar yells

"MAR?" Kyron looks up

"JASON" Clara starts running to them

"GO, GO, GO" Jason and Mar run out of the forest nearby

Yami doesn't look worried in the slightest, just focusing on writing or...drawing?

An amalgamation of...animal parts comes from the forest, chasing them

Bear legs, teeth and snout of a crocodile, yet face of a husky, eyes like a lion, tail of a wolf, wings like a dragon, torso of a snapping turtle with a shell on it's back, but surrounding it was well, this thing sounds like a recipe to make a potion 

"WHAT IN THE EVERLOVING F#CKING HELL IS THAT GOD-FORSAKEN CREATURE?" Carry screams

Yami still just sits calmly

The...animal (can you even call it that?) quickly catches up with Mar and Jason

"I'M COMING" Metal yells, charging towards them

The animal focuses on Metal

"HAAAAAAAAHHHH" Metal cocks up a punch

The thing stops dead in its tracks, staring Metal down

Metal uses his full force to punch the thing in its head

The punch lands....the creature hardly flinches, at best, it breathes a little bit

"...Hold on" Metal slowly backs up

The creature follows him, showing its teeth

"WHY ARE YOU SO CALM? THAT THING IS BULLETPROOF" Jason yells

Yami groans, getting up

The animal stares at the approaching Yami

"I'll be-be behind you t-to back you up" Metal puts his thumbs up, hiding behind Yami

"What's your name?" Yami asks

The animal growls

"You're bored aren't you....and hungry" Yami analyses the animal

It...the thing barks at her

"Don't take that tone with me" Yami squints

It barks at her louder

"Do it again, I dare you" Yami immediately gets centimeters away from it's face

The animal stares at her

"I know you understand me, do you see those weird balls on the trees? Get them down and I'll get you something to eat" Yami points at the trees around them

The animal slowly backs away from her

It starts running, then flies off and starts crashing into the trees

The balls fall from the trees

"Good" Yami picks up some of the balls

The animal drops and curiously walks to Yami

Yami rips the balls in two, like huge, green, coconuts

All of them watch her

Yami rips the blue insides out of them

"Here" Yami holds the...mush in her hands

The creature curiously stares at the nutrients

"I promise it's edible" Yami rolls her eyes

The creature takes a bite from the food

Then slowly starts eating it quicker and quicker, nearly biting off Yami's arm

"See? Wasn't that bad" Yami wipes her hands off using her pants

The animal starts licking her

"IF YOU'RE GONNA DO THAT THEN YOU'VE GOTTA GET ME SOME DINNER FIRST" Yami yells

The creature backs away and starts nuzzling her

"...You're welcome" Yami rubs its snout

"What the f#ck did I just witness?" Jason finally asks

"I have no f*cking clue" Mar shakes his head

"Wow" Clara starts writing stuff down

"Nerd" Carry stares at Clara

"Speak for yourself, you have every pokemon's name engraved in your memory" Putty laughs

"HEY, I'M NOT ALONE" Metal yells

"Bird" Carry glances at him

"Unfezant" Metal points at her

"HEY, YOU ARE A REAL ONE" Carry yells

"Well, at least we found food" Kyron looks at the trees

"Yeah, and made a new friend" Flake pets the amalgamation

Yami sits back down. continuing to write in the sand

The animal lays down beside her

"What should we call him?" Flake asks

"It's a girl" Yami corrects

"How do you know that?" Kyron asks

"Do you see a penis?" Yami looks at him

"...Good point" Kyron nods, rubbing his face

"What would be a good name for you...?" Flake squints

"I dunno, I like the name Fifteen" 

"Yeah, that's a good name, reminds me of Red thirteen from Final Fantasy" Yami rubs the creature

The creature nods

"...Wait, who the hell said that?" Putty asks

"HUH?" Flake gets up, looking around

Yami stands up, aggressively holding the stick

"Woah, woah, I'm friendly, don't worry" A man becomes visible in front of Jason

Jason points his guns at him

"Let's not get too hasty, this is a safe space, I wouldn't kill any of you...not yet at least" The man keeps a smile washed across his face

"Who the f*ck are you?" Mar asks

"Me? Oh, my name's Cipher" The man explains, he just doesn't seem to stop smiling, reassuring....but creepy
