Chapter 8 - Lily Karson, half an hour A.L.E

"Come on Lily, you got this. Just a simple bit of wiring, nothing you haven't done thousands of times."

Lily's hands flew over the device she was hoping to repurpose into something more deadly.  Her jostling about was making her work harder, but nothing too difficult to work with. The roaring beast chasing her, an Ophiotaurus a mythical creature if she remembered correctly, but she didn't have time to think how could such a creature be real and where she was right now trying to think about making it harder to understand. But with a few more twists… "There."

Lily promptly turned and pressed what was an ether flashlight into the body of the half-snake, half-bull while switching it on. A surprisingly strong electric current flooded through the body of the beast. After a few seconds of this, all of the movement of the beast was spasms.

Lily felt a strong power being drawn into her. She noted that it was quite pleasing, and felt as if it were meant to be. Thoughts and images of nature, growth and ruin, mercy and death, but most of all cycle flowed through her mind. Acting on instinct, she reached out her hand. From the ground sprouted flowers, weaving together and forming a thorned rose staff. The design of it, down to the cells of the plants splitting, was transparent to her. All aspects of this stuff belonged to her. And this left Lily with an important question:

"What the hell is going on?"

After a couple of minutes, Lily came to their senses and decided to think more clearly after the situation with the Ophiotaurus was dealt with.

"I need to find the others and then when we regroup we can try to figure out where we are but first where am I."

Lily looks around and notices a giant area filled with overgrown plants and trees up into the sky. You can't even see the clouds because they are covered by trees but the sunlight is still pierceing through them the leaves. As she looked around she noticed a giant wasp hive the size of an entire skyscraper and coming out of it were multiple three-headed frog creatures with the body of a wasp, but she didn't have time to focus on the weird anomalous creatures and plants around. So she decides to walk further into the forest trying to find a way out of and locate the others with the ether blaster and hands and the staff in the other as she walks further away into the forest.
