Iron POV

Hopping through the rift I surprisingly land on solid ground. Looking around I see black land with a sunset on the horizon. I tilt my head.

Iron: "Huh, not what I expected a place like this to look like."

John: "It's meant to represent both heaven and hell. When a soul didn't choose a good or bad life, they arrive here while their fate is determined."

Super: "How's that done?"

John: "Some divine force checks to see which side they picked most often."

Faunus: "And if they're evenly marked?"

John: "Then their heart is judged."

Amica: "I often wondered if there was a place like this. Kinda brings a comfort for when death arrives."

John gets in front of us.

John: "Alright guys, Deus is here somewhere. So I vote we find him and get rid of him before the blank space realizes we're not supposed to be here."

We nod following after him.

Speed: "So what do you think will happen when this place figures out we're foreign?"

John: "It'll most likely try and boot us out. But then again, this place is believed to be sentient to a degree. So it might already know and will try to break us down in an attempt to lure us to a premature death."

Speed: "I just had to ask."

Faunus POV

I shake my head at the mere thought when I wince in pain.

Iron: "What's wrong?"

Faunus: "I don't know. It's my sixth sense. It's going off like never before. It's like glass is being rubbed through my brain. Kinda making me light headed."

Super: "Any clue where it might be coming from?"

Faunus: "No. It's coming from every direction. Like this whole place is the danger."

I clutch my head as the pain only seems to get worse. Out of nowhere the pain narrows to my right side. I snap that direction.

Faunus: "Look out!"

I take off like a bullet between Iron and John. Holding out my hand I manage to catch a fist. I deliver a punch but hear my opponent speak.

Voice: "Away."

I'm violently sent flying away. Sliding to a stop we all look at who tried to attack us.

Male: "I was wondering how long it'd take you guys to get here."
