Wayne went through the battlefield, slicing at any and every beast he saw. The freedom he felt while using his strength was blissful as he went from beast to beast, instantly slicing them in half. Wayne just had a smile on his face as he continued on his path of destruction.
[Torrential Spikes]
Wayne activated his ability as he was surrounded by a group of eight beasts that saw Wayne as a threat that they needed to take care of.
The spikes went through two of them while the others ran toward Wayne. Wayne backflipped behind the one running behind him while simultaneously slicing down on the beast, then immediately looked toward the remaining few.
[Dark Flame]
He activated his ability without hesitation while some of the other sidekicks looked at the fight with either amazement or fear.
Wayne went to the next threat trying to maximize the use of his buff.
Meanwhile, Duggar and the group were off on the other side, fighting with intensity, each member was fighting three beasts at once.
Mystic was having the most trouble, he couldn't get close enough to touch them and activate his ability without getting injured himself.
After a few seconds, an obsidian figure punched one of the beasts sending it flying into the distance while throwing a roundhouse kick toward the other two around Mystic. Before Mystic knew what had happened and could say anything, the figure went to the next beast to help the others.
After a few moments, the others breathed a sigh of relief, their troubles were alleviated, but now they all looked at each other with puzzled looks on their face.
"Who the hell is that?" Mystic mumbled, everyone turned to look at the figure fighting each beast with no pause in its step.
"I don't know, but he looks awfully familiar, I think we should help him he'll eventually get tired, and he'll need it," Duggar said towards the others.
They all agreed as they charged toward the beast helping the figure mow them down.

As the battle continued, the Rek'NeeCommander kept looking at the situation, grinning ear to ear with the blood bath that was occurring.
"This is delightful," Captain Raku said as the large screen in the front of the ship showed the battle on all sides, anyone would be able to see if they came into the ship's cockpit.
"I'm glad you approve, sir," Ren said as she stood beside him with a sparkle in her eye while watching her pets wreak havoc.
"This is better than I expected, they haven't even sent the strong one yet, and these guys are putting up a good fight, there are definitely some strong ones amongst them," Raku said as his eyes pivoted to Wayne.
Ren, looking at the captain's gaze, followed it to Wayne, and immediately disdain grew on her face.
"He was there for the incident with the other Shebadoo," Ren grumbled.
"Oh really? Well, he does appear to be different from most of them down there, if this keeps up, I might have to start Phase Four," Raku said with a devious smile and his fist clenched.
"Phase Four? You don't think it's too early? The other Shebadoo haven't even hatched yet," Ren said with a puzzled look.
"When is the last batch supposed to hatch?"
"Six days."
"Six days? Huh, very well, I expect they will survive, so I'm not worried. I guess you can say I'm getting a bit antsy," Raku said with a smirk.
"Well, what would you like to do, sir?"
"I'll give them a bit of warning, I suppose, I don't want them too relaxed when we arrive."

Back on Earth, Wayne finally caught up to Duggar and the team, but they didn't greet each other as of yet, with the countless beast still amounting.
Wayne was getting exhausted as his buff just wore off, so he decided to deactivate [Abyssal Clone] to preserve some energy. Wayne thanked the Gods he had the foresight to get weapons. If he were still using his hands, he would've been tapped out long ago.
After another 20 minutes, the beasts seemed to stop pouring out from wherever they came from, and the few that were on the battlefield were being handled, so Wayne decided to collapse on the ground from exhaustion. He could easily go to another body to get more energy again, but there were too many people around, and for Wayne, the threat was dealt with so he could rest.
Duggar and the others ran up to Wayne and started barraging him with questions.
"Dude, when the fuck, did you have a clone?"
"Were you always this strong?"
"The black mist around you? Is that deadly as well?"
"Come on, guys, can't you see he's exhausted? Let's give him some time to catch his breath," Rocky said as she went to Wayne's side and lifted him up to sit upright with her ability.
"Ahh, it's okay, I'd have a lot of questions too, but like Rocky said, give me a moment," Wayne said tiredly.
After a few seconds, a loud screeching sound manifested in everyone's mind, making it impossible to block out the noise.
"People of this planet, this is a message you will need to hear, for your ignorance may cause you death."
Everyone looked at each other with puzzled looks, wondering what was happening.
"Who the fuck is that?" Mystic said as he squeezed his palms to the side of his head, attempting to make the voice stop, but to no avail, it did not.
The voice continued leaving everyone stunned as they heard the message being relayed.
