Chapter Name : In the Darkness
Darux Dela Torre's POV :
*THUDD!*
"Ouch!", I grimaced in pain after falling down... hard in the floor. Looking around, it's dark that I didn't even know where am I.
"Where the hell am I?", I asked myself.
Many thoughts were bombarding my mind, possibilities to be as the answer if you want to be specific. Sorting it in one topic, I remember the reason why these kind of event were happening.
Portals.
If I were the one to be asked, then next to that were either of these three :
1.) Monster's Lair like those of Dungeons, second to the most possible. Either this is an Exploration Cave, or a Medieval Castle.
2.) Probably the one of what we called Anime World Portal, but this darkness wouldn't tell that.
3.) Void, a highest chance possible to be.
I keep those possibilities off first, and searched for clues in the meter radius of my senses can take.
I checked my phone only to find that it was nowhere to be found.
I sighed, this is fucked up.
I stand up and started to walk away from the spot leaving the responsibility to panic in situation.
Moving straight, I bumped into a wall. I moved my hands left and right checking by the sense of touch the wall, a half of a cone shape with hard and rough texture : probably a torch holder in the wall; circular stones patched in, round cobblestones which either old stone houses or a medieval castle have if I remember correctly; lastly were a rubbish and wet thing in some places of the wall, exactly mosses.
I move farther on my place, using my senses to check my surroundings.
If someone see this, I am just a man hugging the wall.

Veronica Duterte's POV
"Ughhh... what did happened? where am I?", I sat up from lying down on cold tiles, darkness were everywhere. I felt confused and started panicking, this is darkness!
Cold, not able to see, scared.
I, as the younger daughter of Papa Digong weren't used to this feeling. I shouted for help, not moving because of the eerie feeling I felt.
No one answered, making me scared more. I repeated shouting, that turned into screaming because of the rising terror from being alone in the dark. My thoughts are scaring me, along with the fact the I can't see.
"M-mommy... Daddy... Uuu", I started to cry unable to think.
I just wish someone help me...
3RD PERSON POV
As Veronica were crying, a light can be seen coming near her.
It's a torch!
The one wielding the torch noticed her crying figure so it came near, Veronica didn't see this because she continued to cry. Seeing the reaction, the newcomer realized that Veronica were scared. The newcomer called Veronica, with her soft voice.
"Uhh, miss? Are you okay?", the newcomer said taking Veronica's attention.
Back to Veronica
"Ihhh! Who are you?!", I instinctively shrieked in surprise.
The one who wields the... torch? were a girl too. Her face were pale white and has a baby pink lips, her white hair and eyes of silver glints with the help of the torch lighting in the dark, she wears monochromatic jacket with uhmm... ahegao? (A/N : I see, you're a girl of culture as well)
Though she were speaking in not understandable words, I know the message the girl says. Confused, I opened my mouth but was stopped by her.
"Ah, before that. I'm Sakuya Akino (First name were Akino). Can you stand up? you seemed to...", she trailed off before looking away in tinge of red in her face pointing her finger down.
My sight followed what she point and turned red.
I accidentally peed.

"We're here! Yo Captain Selene!", Akino saluted in front of a woman with purple hair, baby blue eyes and cherry pink lips. She wears a Gray shirt and black shorts. The woman sighed before stopping Akino in her antics.
"Stop that, Akino. I'm just the leader of the group", she said as face slowly turning into a light shade of pink.
Akino giggled, still holding my hand. I'm now beet red, though I'm not attracted to the same gender, it's not like I'm not going to be embarrassed with the looks of everyone in the room. A matured looking woman came near hugging Akino, she instinctively let out of my hand to push the woman.
"Stop it Ayaka! Maybe I could get some virus you know? no touchies", she said jokingly. The woman frowned then started to go O.A.
"Hmpf, you didn't want your big sister's hug but holds a hand of a young stranger girl. Such a painful truth!", she raised one of her hands in her head before slowly falling off her standing position dramatically.
Ayaka, unlike Akino have long silky black hair and black eyes, her chest were... big, compared to mine. She wears a green shirt and gray jeans.
Akino rolled her eyes before pulling Ayaka up and they started bantering, I looked dumbfounded at the two.

??? POV
"Guaahhkk!"
*THUDD!*
I fell down face first, ouch...
Rubbing my nose, I opened my eyes only to see blur. The first question I thought was :
"Where am I? where's my food?"
I were just eating with my mother, Cecilia McDonalds with lunch when I suddenly fell from my seat and next was this.
"Hey, fatso! want to come with us?", a male voice came from my back and I look back to see a blur silhouette of someone. I squinted my eyes since I didn't know who was he, I then see his hand nearing holding a... glasses.
"Oh, that's my glasses! Thanks bro!"
I pick the glasses from his hands and wear it, now I can see clearly... I saw a blonde teen in front of me, wearing shirt withgreen and black stripes and bluepants, in his neck were a headphones of blue sitting calmly. I look at his face memorizing it, for a good thing of course. Sapphire Blue eyes and white skin, American like me maybe.
"Uh, I'm joining with you guys! What do we do?", I quickly said to make a feint cover on checking his appearance.
He chuckled, but turned serious after.
"Come with me, I'll show to boss", he said making me a bit uncomfortable.
I followed him silently, not wanting to be left behind.
Reaching the place which is a lighted room and saw a man with spiky blue hair, piercings and tattoos were embedded in his brown skin and his arrogant and intimidating look make me cower. There are 7 others excluding me and Bryan inside the room, one were a young girl which is an elementary grade schooler. I didn't know why I know but her height is my basis.
"Yo, boss. found another one", the blonde said and the man nodded. He speak in tone which you can hear as arrogant.
"I guess you know why you were brought here by Bryan, right?"
I just nodded.
"Then if you want to know who are were, we'll start the introductions", he said.
"I am Hamil, a Mexican", the tattooed man said.
"This is Arthur, a Black", he pointed at the man with dreadlocks hair.
"This is Lola, a... German", he pointed at a petite girl with ponytailed green hair and wear black sports top.
"This three were Roy, Ethan, and Jose, all were Asian", he said not clear of what to say pointing first at the man with brown hair wearing green hoodie in the corner, next were the man with pink hair and wearing a nerdy glasses, white shirt and green knee end short, and lastly to the old man with brown skin and wearing a pants patched with dirt sitting calmly next to Roy.
"This is Anna and her daughter Erika", Hamil pointed at the mother-daughter duo. The mother were a middle aged woman wearing pink shirt and navy blue pants and the little girl with white frilly dress and holds a brown teddy bear.
"Your name is?"
"I-I am Joey, Sir Hamil", I stuttered.
"It's fine if just Hamil, come and will discuss the main part", He then motioned me and others to follow him in the deeper part of the room, after walking for minutes we reached an empty room with table and chairs. He then tell us to sit.
"I'll explain to you what are the problems we have. Everyone here didn't come here, we all come from Earth but in different places. The bullshit portal sucked us here, for what? we don't know, but we need to get out here. Either forced or not.", he explained angrily. Anna covered Erika's ear and Lola snickered but stopped when Hamil looked at her oddly.
