I'm definitely worried about what happened to the others, but I can't focus on them right now.

Jaemin, Jeno, Vexxen, and I have been teleported to a different room, facing off against none other than Syndell, coincidentally.

"I'll just stand somewhere safe. I don't want to get in the way of the fight"

Vexxen quickly ran off farther away in the room, ensuring that he wouldn't get hurt during our fight.

"Long time no see you three"

Syndell stated.

"It hasn't even been that long. Anyway, we don't want to fight you Syndell"

"That's just too bad Jeno, because I don't care what any of you want"

"Syndell... Why would you do this to us...? Did all of that time we spent together mean nothing to you...? I really thought that we were all friends..."

Jaemin looked really sad.

"...Y-You actually considered me as your friend?"

Syndell suddenly stuttered, confusing all of us, including himself.

...I get it!

"Guys, it's the mask. We have to find a way to destroy his mask. The real Syndell is still in there. We just have to free him from Xander's control"

I whispered to them, earning nods from them.

"And just what are you assholes mumbling about?"

Syndell suddenly hissed.

"You'll see soon enough Syndell. Let's just get this over with"

Jeno scoffed.

"Agreed. I'll end this quickly"

Syndell then made a Toxic Spear from one of his bubbles, and immediately attacked Jaemin first.
