Moments later, Blitz, his family, and the family pet fly out of the mysterious portal along with all their belongings and camping gear, and land on the ground with all their items scattered. As soon as the family hits the ground, the portal closes without a trace of its existence.

"Ow! My head!" Keenan yelps, and slowly lifts his head up in pain.

"My back... and wings..." Aurora says, rubbing her back as she sits up.

"Ow! My head feels like it's going to split open," Loona says, rubbing her head.

Blitz soon sits up, feeling pain, "Is everyone okay?"

"I think so," Aurora says.

"A bit dizzy, but better," Loona says.

"Other than my head hurting, I think I'll be alright," Keenan says.

Sophie barks in response.

Loona pats Sophie on the head, "Sophie seems to be okay as well."

"Glad to see we're all okay," Blitz says.

Tilla looks up, "Dada," with worry in her eyes.

Blitz looks down to see little Tilla in his arms.

Blitz smiles, "It's okay, Tilla. Daddy's here."

He soon stands up and notices a large open area. There are many different buildings, and none of them look familiar. Many of the buildings are red, and some even look broken, run down, and other kinds of damage.

Keenan soon looks around, "Where did that portal take us?"

"I don't recognize this place," Aurora says, looking wary.

"I don't either. The place is very unfamiliar," Blitz says.

"You're right. I... I felt as though I've seen it before," Loona says, sounding uneasy.

"Are you sure?" Blitz asks, as he stands up and still holding Tilla in his arms.

"I'm not really sure. It's a feeling right now. Still, it was a very very long time ago," Loona says.

"Whatever it is, this place seems very eerie," Aurora says, looking uneasy.

"And it's really creepy," Keenan says, a little creeped out.

Blitz walks around a little, "You both are right. This place seems very unsettling. In fact, it seems like it's deserted." Then turns to find the portal is gone. Blitz sighs, "And the portal is no longer there. It must have closed as soon as he got out."

"Dad, what are we going to do?" Keenan asks.

"Well, I think it's best we find shelter to stay the night," Blitz says.

Tilla then presses her face against her daddy's chest, still frightened.

"It's okay sweetie. Everything will be okay," Blitz says.

Blitz then uses his magic to levitate his scepter and uses it to help gather up their belongings and put them in their bags after organizing them. He also sorts out the camping supplies, tents, and other items.

"There," Blitz says.

Blitz, Loona, and the kids then gather their bags.

"I think it's best we get going. Maybe we can find a hotel to stay for the night. Stay close and don't wander off," Blitz says.

"That's probably the best option," Loona says as he looks at some of the buildings, "Though, some of them seem very sketchy."

"I have to agree, but maybe we can find somewhere to stay for the night," Blitz says.
