Ken, was venturing about the streets bear to the gas station. Suddenly he heard a stranger sound coming from a alleyway which he was passing. He walked backwards and peered into the alley.
He somehow found himself walking through the alley with his spear ready on hand.
"I should have brought a gun instead.".
The alley was quiet but had an abundance of life. Rats, snails and many other creatures were living there, as if it was their own habitat.
*Rustling*
"Huh?", Ken swiftly turned around to see where the noise was coming from. He stabbed his spear in the ground at what he saw. It was only the creatures minding their own business.
"I'm way to paranoid.", Ken said, while scratching the back of head and leaning in the spear what he stabbed into the solid ground.
"Wait a minute? Is this thing that strong?! It stab right through the group!", Ken said in admiration of his weapon.
Ezil looked down at Ken, while floating in the air, "I sure is. Your lucky it didn't break. You should be careful with your belongings.".
"Sure..., sure.", Ken mumbled, looking at the sharp and undamaged blade of the spear.
Ken inquired to Ezil, "How made this?".
"Oh, now I'm your answering machine.", Ezil said, irrigated.
"Just tell me.", Ken demanded in a pleading voice.
"How about this...., hmm, no.", Ezil said blankly.
"What? Why?", Ken asked.
"Cause.", Ezil said.
"And you better get out of this alley, before you kidnapped.", Ezil suggested a cold and eerie voice.
"What?", Suddenly, he was blinded and then he went unconscious.
"Kekeke..".
"..."

Ken could now feel his consciousness coming back to him, but he was still unable to see a thing. Everything around him was black.
*Swoosh*
Then he could see. He felt someone grab the top of his head and drag something like a bag off his head.
But he soon blinded again by a flash of light to the eyes.
"Argh!", Ken said in agony.
"This one looks cute.", said a male voice.
"You're not here for that.", Another male voice said.
"Aww man.", The first talked again.
"Where's the boss anyway?".
Ken was left thinking while light was shining on his face. "(Boss? Is those guys from earlier?", He thought back to the man with sheriff hat and, "Can I get back on that guy?".
He was thinking about the guy who sexual harassed Mia.
*Open*
"Damn, in here is pitch black. Turn on the fucking lights, the boss is coming.", A man said, who had opened a door to the dark room.
The man leaved and closed the door behind him.
*Close*
*Flick!*
The lights turned on, allowing Ken to see clearly. He was in a enclosed room with brown, stain paint splattered on the walls.
The door then opened again, but this time was someone different. It was a woman in a scarlet shirt and skin tight, black pants. Her curved body was able to escape from there confines of her clothing and her face was beautiful.
"*Whispers* Do you know why I like men Ted?", A man to left of Ken asked his fellow companion.
"*Whispers* Cause you never had a father figure I your life.", The one on the right said.
"*Whispers* Yeah, but the reason is because their too fierce. And this is the fucking living, breathing, walking and especially talking embodiment of it.".
The lady walked up towards Ken who was tied on a chair; foot to hand.
"Well hello. Untie him for me please.", The lady asked. Her voice sweet and comforting.
The two men untied Ken, allowing to move in his chair.
"Sorry for kidnapping you and tied you up on chair. You were a part of that group that stole from Quan's territory.", She said calmly.
"Quan? ..Ooh, you mean the store and that sheriff guy.", Ken said.
"Yes.", She simply said.
"Yeah, I was apart of that group.", He said obliviously.
The lady smiled and rolled her lips at his obliviousness.
"Wait.. are you gonna..", He started with a concerned voice.
She answered, "No, we are not going to harm you.".
"Phew, but aren't you friends with that guy, teammates or something? Why are you letting me of the hook?", He inquired.
"We aren't friends, were colleagues.", She said.
"Isn't that the same thing?", Ken inquired.
"No.", She began to squat down to Ken's height. She extended a hand towards him with a smile, "I want you to join our team.".
"Team? Who are you guys?", Ken asked.
"Oh, us.", She got up and said, "We call ourselves Gems. I'm the leader, the 15th Gem. They're 20 leaders in total, so they're 20 Gems.", She explained.
"Is that so..", Ken said with a low voice. His face dark as he looked down at the ground.
"(Is he consider?)", The woman asked herself.
"(What am I going to do!)", He hugged his hands together and thought, "(What am I going to doing Ezil?!)".
"How am I supposed to know. Your the one got yourself into this mess.", Ezil argued.
"(If I don't say yes, they might kill me. Wait, if I join, I could get back at that guy?)".
"(But their his in a different group, who knows how long that'll take? ....)".
"*Sigh* (I'll take the risk.)", Ken agreed.
"So, you gonna bet on your life?", Ezil inquired.
"(No, cause your going to bring me back to life like the last time.)".
Ezil face went blank, but then a wide sinister smile emerged on his face, "Kekeke, you really think so?!".
A sweat drop them on the side of Ken's cheek as he looked down and talked to Ezil with fear, "(Ummm, you not gonna save me?)".
"We'll see about that.", Ezil answered.
"God damnit.", Ken said out loud.
"What is it?", The lady infront of him asked.
Ken let out a long sigh. He gathered up his courage and said, "I'm sorry..".
"But.. I have to refuse.".
The lady and everyone else glared down at Ken, making him feel and unbearable aura.
"I have a team already, I can't betray them.".
"Is that so.", The lady said.
"Y-yeah.", Ken stammered.
"Hmmm.", He began to rub her chin to think.
"We can offer you more than a simple outclassed spear.", She suggested.
Ken. answered, "No, I'm alright with a spear and can I get it back?".
"*Sigh* It can't be helped. Ted, bring the spear; we're letting him go.", The lady instructed.
"Phew.", Ken let out a sigh of relief.
"Aww man. Hey, why didn't you join?", The homophobic man slapped Ken shoulder and asked.
"Cause, I got friends and other people out there.", Ken answered.
"But you could have asked them to join.", The man continued.
"Nah, I'm good.", Ken defended.
After a while, Ted came back to the room with his spear in one hand and something in the other, hidden behind his back.
The lady took the spear from Ted and handed it to Ken, "Here you go, and are you sure you don't want to join?".
"Yeah, I'm sure.", He said while taking the spear from her hands.
"Alright.", The lady looked at Ted and nodded.
Ken's vision then turned black and he lost consciousness.

The crew was busy have a conversation; both the ones that stayed behind and the ones that went to the gas station.
"They told us that their leader send them after us.", Eddie told Zen.
"Something about the 15th Gem or something.", He said while taking a sit at the front.
As he laid his butt on the cushion, Zen immediately told him to, "Get off my sit.", calm and serious.
"Ok, ok. Alright.", Eddie said while moving from Zen's line of sight.
"I think someone is missing.", Mia told the group suddenly.
"Yeah, Ken.", Aiden said, while taking a sit on the blue cushion.
"Someone let him off.", Zen said, directing his voice at Syria.
"Look, I don't know where he went. I thought he could take care of himself.", Syria defended herself.
"I don't think he got lost.", Eddie said.
"If those guys were here, then maybe more were there where you guys were and took him, kill him.", Eddie suggested.

Ken soon woke up in the same alley he was kidnapped. He rubbed his eyes and then sit upright as he looks at the horizon.
"Shiitt..", He said lazily. He yawns, making tears come out of his eyes.
"Why am I so tired?", He asked herself, rubbing the back of his neck.
"I wonder if the others are looking for me?".
"He gets up and ask, "I'll look for them; right Ezil?".
Ezil transparent body, suddenly appears floating over Ken's head while upside down.
"Sure, Kekeke.", He said with a smile on his face.
"Wait! Where is my spear?!", Ken screamed in worry.
Ezil points to the ground and answers, "Right there.".
Ken looks at the ground where Ezil had pointed, "Oh.''.
He grabbed the spear and suddenly mocks Ezil of his name, "You know that your name is kinda weird. It's like saying evil with a z replacing the v.".
"Hmm..", Ezil mumbled, while his hands are fold.
"Let's go!", Ken said while running the way he remembered where he came in.
"Your going the wrong.", Ezil said, while following Ken at the same paced in the air.
Ezil pointed backwards and said, "It's that way.".
"Oh,", said Ken, "Let's go!".
