Under the ground of black forest
Everything around ash was both dark and humid there was not a single spark of light. Ash was feeling so uncomfortable his body was sore and itchy. The cold liquid around his body made him shiver nonstop. He was unable to open his eyes from the heavy liquid making his vision blurry unable to recognize the black from white and also made his eyes sore to the point he prefers them shut . He knew he shouldn't be lazy here sooner or later he will die if he doesn't move.
' I need to move now' he tried to move his body but failed
He didn't knew since how long he has been stuck here. He wished that someone will come to his rescue but he knew it was his wishful ness but still hoped because he has yet to see his new family member. He can't die No he can't lose this life. He was not sure if he will be given another miraculous chance to meet his family again or worst lose these memories.
'help' he struggled
'someone anyone ' he tried to break from his stuck body under the heavy masses.
'shit ' he pushed all his force on his hands to move the heavy mass that was dripping cold dark liquid on his face
' I need help ' he thought as he failed to move even an inch of heavy mass.
'but who?' he thought ' who will help me if I can't even make a single sound'
Ash was struggling to open his mouth to ask for help but he had no energy left to utter a single help word.
' am I going die ? Even before my story as Ashton smith was not completed?' ash laughed in his hearts
Some how tear drops started to fall from his closed eyes 'No I... I can't die ... I have ...faced enough of death tortures and this one can't kill me'
Ash struggled even though he can't help himself but that doesn't mean he will just give up. The worst 2 years of his life that couldn't counted 1/100th pain of his current situation. He can do it No he will do it! With that he started healing his own body even though he knew it was useless but kept healing his weak body. He knew he had no energy to heal himself but he will never find his limits if he never pushed himself because he can't wait for a hero to save his life in a danger situation . He can't die and let his family mourn for him and might get targeted by others or worst his identity as zan get exposed and all consequences may fall on his innocent family. Yes he can't die not until he has cleaned his mess and make sure that no harm comes to his family and is well protected from the second apocalypse wave. Lastly he doesn't want to die like his past life 'all alone ' where no one will ever find his dead body.
Ash gave his all energy into getting out of the whole mass and opened his almond colored eyes even they were sore and teary . His body was giving red alarms that his body was numb with pain and his skin was scratched in many bruise. His white shirt was cut in pieces from where his bruise showed up his slim long legs were covered in many small wounds. He regretted wearing these simple cloths in this dangerous forest before going to sleep Instead of adding protective SMB layer but who knew that out of nowhere the ground will eat him up?
He was losing his balance as his eyes were too blurry tosee anything again he tried his best to not fall but what can he do with his body already empty from energy and fall on the mass but..
'what?' ash thought as he felt warmness around his body 'why do I feel warm'
Ash was confused as he was caught by a warm feeling surrounding him and quickly healed his wounds from his body. His eyes were healing quickly the pain he was feeling earlier was going away and he could stand on his own without losing balance this time. His white shirt fell on the ground and ash opened his eyes he was in the mid air surrounded by a dazzling light. He looked for the source of light but soon realized that it was coming from his body then he suddenly had one thought
'like the first time I awaken my healing ability '
'But why is it happening again or am I awakening a new ability?'
He was in his thoughts when sudden a light ball like figure popped out of his chest
' finally successful!'
'The ball spoke! wait the ball spoke!!!?? What is it? How did it come out from my chest?' he thought
' baby!' white ball looked at ash
The white ball was around the size of foot ball and its body was all round with two small flap like hands and a flower on his head with two round black eyes and yet it had no mouth so did it talk to ash?
"Holy shit !!! am I finally dead and you are here take my soul!!!?" Ash screamed
'baby calm down we need to leave from here first it's too dangerous to stay here and then we will continue our talk from here ' the white ball looked at ash with it's black eyes
Ash wanted to ask many questions but he stopped because like what white ball said he need to leave this place first or he might get trapped again.
But as soon as he thought of leaving he quickly took out SMB box and without any delay he activated it and the surrounding area become dense around his naked body and was covered in black layer with light blue lines around his arms and legs. With it ash launched forward with a great force.
"Now let's get out from here!" He shouted putting all his force on his right fist.
..
Crackkk
'Huh?' ash looked at the wall that was still in good shape then turned his face to look at his right hand . The shield broke and SMB deactivated and turned in to box and fell on the ground with a buzzing sound as if it was broke.
He picked it up and put it back to the space box and took out his cloths and knee boots and wore. He couldn't stay naked in that place for long.
He turned back saw the light ball looking at him worrying. For some reason he sighed with relief that he was not alone anymore.
"It's too powerful I can't break it" ash said to white ball
'what should we do now?' white ball asked
"Why are you asking me that? " Ash asked while looking for any small opening.
'so we can get out from here' white ball answered with it's flower on head not yet bloomed following ash around
"No I mean I thought you already knew the way out" ash looked at the white ball.
'how will I know?' asked the white ball flapping it's hand in air
"Maybe because you saved me? So you can also take me out of here" ash said touching the wall
' I saved because we can't live without each other!' the white ball said hugging ash's head
" Don't stick on my head and help me to get ....?" Ash said grabbing white ball but it was like a thin air his hand passed from it "why can't I touch you when you can?" He asked
' I will explain this later but for now let's get out ' the white ball said and sat on ash's head making it it's nest.
Ash sighed and looked around. If he was not mistaken then currently his body was inside a big monster's stomach then the current situation will be easily explained as to why there are bodies of monsters and some of them he recognized as the snake beasts he killed before but how did they all ended up together here ?when he was sure that he was hundred miles away from that place....
'no way' ash thought ' am I inside That thing if so I have to leave quickly!!?'
Ash walked inside the big dark humid stomach that was secreting acid juices from its wall . As he kept walking the the space was getting narrow and path was was like never ending.
'there are two ways to get out of this monster's body it's either through its mouth or ... It's exit ' ash thought but the option he chose was later of course he can't fight a monster whose stomach is just the size of his house.
'i will never ever sleep on the ground of black forest!' ash learned his lesson as he kept walking avoiding all kind of places secreting dangerous liquids. He didn't know what time was now or how long he has been in here for? If only he had brought his watch together with him maybe but he nodded his head in deny. He didn't want to be found out by others that he come here if they were to track him because of his sudden disappearance and lead more headache for him.
"just what the hell is this thing!?" Ash shouted but kept walking forward the never ending dark path.

Wayne looked around in the deep forest and now he was standing on a tall tree looking at the grounds. The things in front of his eyes was unbelievable. He was so shocked that his grip on tree left marks.
' What the fvck! ?'
The things on the ground that shocked him was none other then a hundred no maybe a thousands of millions of high level beast monster being caught up by a large number of dark black tentacles burring them in the ground.
'what are those disgusting thing's?' he tried to look close at them but he didn't realize an already wrapped around tentacle on his left feet making him lose his balance and fall from the tree.
'huh?' he quickly cut the tentacles before it pulled him in the ground he wanted to know where these come from but No his instinct told him if he did he will never see the light again. He was not it's opponent yet! Maybe he was still weak.
' weak?' that was the word he thought to himself when he realized he couldn't do more than just to observe.
He hated that word because he knew his body's condition he will be bed sick again if he does not take his medicine every week. Right his medicine the smell that come from it was something that he mostly hated but now that he thought of it he recalled why he took a trip back in the forest then he walked away from the scene.
' I will come here when I get stronger and destroy that damn thing ' he thought to himself
And speed up and disappear in the thin air.
On the ground where the tentacles were cut in two turned in double number and swept back in ground.
