"I think, we should leave this place" Said Kate worried of the noise going on downstairs, Ibara immediately went on her kneels and placed her head on the floor, she tried to ear what was going on, "getting something?" Asked Brian, getting ready for what's coming, since the first day, today would be the second time he encountered another trouble, he hoped it went well.

"There's something coming up, rapidly... I think we should move!"Ibara was calm at first, but went to heard the approaching sounds, she immediately stood up and dragged Brian and Kate away from the center, but it was too late, the floor sank at first before bursting out in an explosion of debris as numerous tentacles limbs emerged with a hear-piercing roar.

Boom!

Roar!

The three immediately lost their balance and collapsed along side the floor ground, "kyaa!" Scream Kate as she was the one further to the back, Ibara caught an iron rod and Brian caught her leg, and immediately grabbed kat's leg, she immediately held her sket and shouted, "don't look down!" While blushing.

"Eh oh!" Brian unconsciously look down, "stop moving, I can't -" He paused as he look, "why aren't you wearing a pant?" He asked, she immediately kicked at him calling him stupid, Ibara got annoyed, "stop that, deal with that later for God's sake, Kate!"Ibara was in panic, the thing that attack them, she had never seen one of them, but as described as the professor, that was definitely a Fall.

"Brian!" Shouted Ibara, Brian look up and nodded, she immediately swayed giving them enough momentum, "what are you guys doing!" Shouted Kate crying, "Don't ask, you wouldn't like the answer " Said Brian, but Kate was to hysterical to hear what he said.

BAM!

The head showed up, and immediately left the bar, "HAAA!" the three shouted as the slide down the crumbling walls downward, "we are all going to die!" Shouted Kate, "Run!" Shouted Ibara jumping towards a door, she immediately got to the stairs, Kate immediately dashed in followed behind by Brian, he took a glance behind him, in the dust, he saw shining creepy circles staring at them, dangerous, was the first thing he thought of.

The ran down the stairs as fast as the could without looking behind them, soon the heard cracking sounds, the Fall tried to pass the door but was too small as it gradually cracked, the handa retracted back for a moment, the thought maybe he had given up.

Boom!

The door exploded leaving a large hole, big enough for the monster to pass through, "don't stop running!" Shouted Brian at the back, Kate was so frightened that she didn't realize she had long pass Ibara and forgotten she had no pant, but the came to a stop as the access leading downward was blocked by blocks and boulders, Kate immediately pushed the door closer to her, and came out Infront of a group of ogres.

"Fuck" Cursed Ibara as she showed up, Brian immediately bumped into her, "why did you-" He looked up at the ogres and cursed again, "something bad is coming down, why don't you guys have a trust today?" Asked Brian.

"Get him!" The ogre leader did not even think twice as he ordered, the group of ogres ran towards them ready to grab them with force, "is not because we are kids that we are easy to bully!" Shouted Ibara, her pullover immediately swayed with the wind, a rectangular line drew downward on her as she sped and punch one of the ogres, "I am of the fighting class fools!" The ogre was send backward.

"Kate!" Shouted Ibara, Kate immediately drew circles on the air, soon puffy bears came out all with boxing Gloves, "Teddy bear wrath, forward march!" She ordered, they three teddy bears summoned immediately launched towards them in a wrathful manner, "cool!" Brian had stars in his eyes, amazed by the power this world had.

"We too have magic!" Shouted ogre leader, "Power bust!" Shouted all, their bodies bumped in balloons and the ran toward them-

Boom!

The ceiling linked with the door leading to the stairs burst open, as an abomination fell down towards them and caused a massacre all over, as the limbs teared away anything it touched.

"Everyone down!" Nobody knows who shouted that statement, but one thing is certain, a lot was saved due to the warning coming right on time.

BAM!

Roar!

The shock was so violent that, the floor did not bare it, Ibara was on the floor went all this happened, when she tried standing up, she felled her body being dragged behind, "what-" She saw Brian dragging her to the back, he smiled at her, but went he placed his leg forward the floor cracked and he saw himself sinking downward, Ibara tried to grab his hand but it was too late, he was dragged downward with half of the ogre group and the Fall.

Rasaka and Bull left the building on time the moment they heard the noise, from another building, they saw the building shaking violently as the floors broke down, "what's going on in there?" Asked Bull in panic, "what about they others, I can't see them, didn't you say they escaped before us?" Bull looked at Rasaka, "they should be somewhere not far, let's first find a safe place " Said Rasaka, but within him, he was screaming in rage, "those fucking bastard!" He cursed, he grip his hand to the point of leaving marks on it, "I hope your safe, Ibara " He was worried for her, meanwhile...

"Shit, we are late" Said Beruk, he was in his restraint form, as he characteristics similar to that of an ogre and a demon combine in a human form, but each step he made left deep cracks on the hard floor, "what's the situation?" Asked Orphinian, she stared at the building blankly, soon, a groups of people appeared in tick back smoke, "it's getting out of control Mrs Orphinian, those fools have left a Fall in liberty" Reported one of the men, Orphinian gave Beruk a dark gaze, "a Fall?" Beruk shrugged, "Don't blame me, my men's would always try to do their work in the extreme " He joked, but he took could feel that the situation wasn't going well, and he did not want Orphinian to know about the existence of the human, it would cause trouble.

"You find your fugitive and end this disorder as fast as possible " Ordered Orphinian, Beruk gritted his teeth internally, but nodded politely, he smack his fingers and shadows dashed towards the crumbling building.

"Letting go of the hunting dogs would be easier " Thought Beruk, he already gave the order, "Find the human" The dogs dash towards the building like bullets, Orphinian stared at the departing dogs, "find what he is hiding" She spoke, a tray of dark smoke passed near her and a voice was heard, "as you wish my lady " Before tailing the dogs.

"What about the search of the artefact?" She asked, a person appeared behind her, it was Lilith, "sorry, we search all buildings, without results " She reported, "all?" Question Orphinian, Lilith was silent for a moment before speaking out, "all except the one everyone is converging towards " She said, "I see" Orphinian stared at the building, one of her eye glowed in blue, the passage link to another area.

Ibara stared down at the pit, she was afraid, "was she dead?" She kept on questioning, she tried standing but her leg was paining, "shit!" She looked around and no solution could she come up with, that's went her body was jerked off the ground by one of the teddy bears still functional, "Kate!" Ibara was pleased to see her, "we need to leave!" Said Kate, Ibara looked down at the pit and gritted her teeth, "open the way!" Kate nodded.

"Let's go get him!" Both were in accordance with their thoughts, the immediately jumped inside the pit free falling, on their way, they eventually collided with the remaining ogres, "don't leave them escape!" The ogres all nodded at the command.

"Keep going, don't stop!" Shouted Ibara as she pointed at them, a circle appeared on her hand, [Magic book 1, Pistol gun] A red beam shot out and head shot one of the ogre on the head, it wasn't strong enough to kill, but enough to pain and render the receiver unconscious if hit of the head, "Move out!" Shouted the two girls, as one directed the puffy teddy bear to punch the away the closer assailant with one hand and the other solve the case of the distance target with a basic spell.

Brian looked up and saw only darkness, he was surprised that he came out of this fall barely wounded, but his body was aching in pain, he stood up and look around and did not know how deep he fell, but the first view he had was that of a Glove on the floor and scratches left by a beast all over, "where they hell did I land again?" He asked himself, standing up, he walk towards the strange looking gloves, it was dark in color with a blueish crystal imbedded within it, he picked it up and immediately wore it, "stylish haha" He loved the sensation, "where's the other pair?" Looking around, he did not find it, "so, only the right hand, I would keep it" After being distracted, he looked around, apart from the hole he came through, he could not see any another exit.

"Who are you?" Brian immediately turn his head and saw a man, half of his body was burn down to crisp, he stared at Brian consciously, he had the left glove, he pointed it towards Brian, "A human?" Brian was shocked, how was this possible, weren't human rare in this world, but his statement put the man in full alert, "wait, calm down, I am human too!" Said Brian rapidly, the man shook and looked up at him, "really?" He asked, Brian remove his hood as prove, but the man was still conscious, "they exist numerous species out there, one of them can even change form" Said the man, "you mean a shape-shifter?" Asked Brian curious, the man looked at him and laughed slightly, "you recently showed up in this world isn't it?" He asked, Brian nodded, he came closer and sat, "what year is in the human world?" He asked.
