The group was seen running through the forest trying hard to catch up with Yang. Yang the purple haired man who had earlier approached the group to help them was moving through the forest like it was his home. His movements and speed was so smooth as he avoided evey branch,log and vines that was in his way.
After running for a while, they had entered a cleared out path and could see Yang still running at the front but at a much slower pace than before. The group picked up their speed to try and catch up with him but that's when Yang made a turn and as the legions followed swiftly only to discover a dead end with no sign of Yang anywhere.
"I knew we couldn't trust that ba..." Jack was about to comment before something else happened.
"Aaaaaaahhhh!!" they all screamed as they fell through a pit hole then quickly as they fell in, it got covered by a leaf blanket again. They landed on each other, with the only person standing on his feet being Erwin as he had long tired out and was at the back of the group which meant he had seen what happened and prepared.
They stood up dusting off the leaves and twigs in their hair.Yang who was now standing at their front looking at them said. "Welcome to the Hunters base".
As they all got up, their mouths were left wide opened staring at the large shelter in front of them. Thick walls made from wood and occasionally one could see beast cores on the walls rising very high up and wide as a bunker. From just looking at it, one could say its big enough to hold a whole batallion. The place looked like a forest as it had this natural theme attached to it, only with people moving round.
"How long will it take for us to get our own shelter" Blair said as he gazed at the shelter in front of him.
"If you plan on staying" Corey muttered.
"This way please"..said a young lady with a slim and curved body shape dressed in a white robe.

Meanwhile back in the forest, a man dressed in an all black suit of armor sat on a horse with a small army behind him.
"We have to find the chosen one by all means necessary".
"Where was he last spotted"? someone who had appeared by the side of the horse dressed in a black ninja suit with a cloak covering his head and a golden trim on it asked.
"The report brought back claims he was seen running with a group following a man through the forest"..."My faction is still searching, they looked to have disappeared into thin air"the man on the horse replied.
"Remember.... the shadow knight is our way out of this... this pocket space...Find him.." Avrion, the man dressed in the ninja outfit said as he glowed gold then vanished into thin air.

Currently, they were all in what looks to be the command centre of the hunter faction, the members of the legion faction standing and the leaders of the hunter faction sitting on a wide table.
" Remind me why there are empty seats but we can't seat again?" Blair said with a tone of dissatisfaction.
"Quiet down will ya?...we don't wanna get on their bad side remember? Eiko said in a whispering tone to Blair who understood and behaved.
The room was all white and gold in colour with ancient Chinese designs on the walls everywhere.
"Yang, what makes you feel you can bring in strangers as you please?" Asked a very large man with a white and black robe running down to his feet. He was one of the hunters leaders and went by the name Damien.
"I remember being among the leaders council of this faction" replied yang with an unfazed look. "I am here to talk to master Tofu and not you". Yang finished saying and just then the atmosphere in the room became dense as there was a certain pressure the legion members were beginning to feel. But Yang feeling this same feeling only shook his head as he stared at Damien with a look of disgust.
From the back of the room, the sound of door sliding open was heard which caused everyone to turn and look back and from the room emerged an old man in a white robe with black trims, he appeared to be over a 100 years old as he had a long white goatee and moustache. But the top of his head was a different story all together as his head was bald and there were visible wrinkles on his face.
" Yang, what Damien is saying is right." Said master Tofu, the man who came out of the door. He let out a cough before he continued "This faction has remained safe because we chose to distance ourselves from the other faction and outsiders in general" he said.
While he kept talking, Eiko couldn't help but whisper to his team members.
"Hasn't it been only two days since we got sucked in here?" He asked.
"I was thinking the same thing" said Mia.
"Wait, how long has it been"? Asked Rodney.
All the leaders of the hunter faction looked at him with confused looks on their faces, even Yang couldn't help but wonder what he had to say that was so important that he would interrupt master Tofu. Being the oldest and knowledgeable man in the faction, he had ruled as their leader and maintained quite a reasonable amount of order.
Although in most cases, positions like this were usually given to the strongest in the faction, in the case of Master Tofu, no one had actually seen him fight and as such couldn't quite gauge his strength with the rest of the other leaders. It was already a known fact amongst the people that Damien was the strongest amongst the three. With Yang being the second which wasn't quite agreed upon by those that have been close to him.
They would often say that Yang was actively hiding his true strength but many believed that if he eventually did decide to show his full strength, he would be exactly under Damien as the believe was that it was practically impossible for anyone to surpass master Damien.
"What do you mean how long"? Damien asked with his arms folded in front of his chest.
"How long has this faction existed?".. Rodney asked with fear he wasn't going to be exactly pleased with the response.
Master Tofu stood from his seat and approached the legion members staring at them with a suspicious face
"For as long as our ancestors can remember" he finally replied to their question which left them all with their jaws wide open..
"Ancestors?!" Blair asked in disbelief.
