[AFTER THE EXPLOSION OCCURRED BY TACKLER & BAPO, ALL THE OTHER COUSINS TOOK NOTICE & STARTED HEADING TOWARDS IT]
[CONTINUING]
[BACK TO BAPO AND TACKLER, WHO WERE UNCONSCIOUS, AND WERE THE CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION, THEY WERE LYING ON THE DIRT GROUND, THE SURROUNDINGS WAS FULL OF DUST AND FILLED WITH WEIRD SCENT NEVER SMELT BEFORE. SEVERAL MONSTERS HAD APPEARED TO THAT LOCATION, AND WERE PROCEEDING TOWARDS TACKLER AND BAPO]
[A PERSON WAS WATCHING TWO OF THEM FROM SOMEWHERE, WITH ANXIETY OVERWHELMING HIM, THAT GUY WAS NOT IN SCHOOL UNIFORM]
???: Nah this is bad, I need to make some sort of signal to tell everyone about this…
[THE PERSON WAS THEBE, WHO GOT PULLED INTO DIFFERENT DIMENSION]
THEBE: But what can I possibly do? I am stuck here for hours, and have literally no idea how to get out….
[HE REMEMBERED HE HAD THE POWER TO MANIPULATE TIME]
THEBE: Ah right, I have the powers to mess with time, but I am not sure if I can use it.
[WHEN THEBE SAID THAT, HE WAS WATCHING BOTH OF THEM AGAIN, SILENTLY & WORRIEDLY]
[AMIDST THE COMMOTION OF EXPLOSION, BAPO SLOWLY REGAINED HIS CONSCIOUSNESS, SAW HIS SURROUNDINGS, HE GOT KINDA SURPRISED AND FELT ANXIETY AT THAT MOMENT]
[HE SLOWLY REACHED HIS HAND TO TACKLER'S SHOULDER, AS TO WAKE HIM UP]
BAPO: T—Tack-LEr, Wake up….
…
[HE TRIES TO FORCE TACKLER TO WAKE UP BY ROUGHLY SHAKING HIS SHOULDER]
BAPO: WAKE UP BRO WE GOT NO TIME TO REST! YOU GOTTA WAKE UP RIGHT NOW!
[TACKLER DIDN'T WAKE UP, BAPO FEARED THAT TACKLER BREATHE HIS LAST WHEN HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS]
BAPO: Y-You are-NT D-_DDEAD, ARENT YOU!?
[HE CHECKED HIS PULSE BY PLACING HIS TWO FINGERS ON HIS WRIST, HE WAS ALIVE]
BAPO: Thank God! He still have these injuries.....
[HE LOOKED AT HIS SURROUNDINGS]
BAPO: How did we even get here man? Who are these creatures? WHY IS THERE SO MUCH DUST DAMN IT! IT'S A GREEN GRASS SPREADED ALL OVER HERE HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?
[BAPO WAS THINKING, AS TO WHAT HE SHOULD DO IN THIS SITUATION]
BAPO: If I pick him up and then go, there's a chance I might trip. I don't think there's any population around here…. Nor there's a possibility of meeting someone here…
[AFTER GIVING IT SOME THOUGHTS, HE DECIDED]
BAPO: Welp, Here goes nothing, Hang on, TACKLER!
[HE MADE A RUN AWAY FROM THE MONSTERS WHILE CARRYING TACKLER ON HIS BACK, HE WAS RUNNING, UNBALANCED, EVERYTIME HE WAS ABOUT TO TRIP, HE BARELY BALANCED HIMSELF, AND CARRIED ON]
BAPO: Damn it!!!!!!
[HE WAS RUNNING, BUT HE FELL AS A HAND FROM UNDERNEATH THE GROUND GRABBED HIS LEG. CAUSING BOTH TACKLER AND BAPO TO FALL ON GROUND]
BAPO: LET GO!
[HE STRUCK HIS FOOT ON THE HAND, BUT IT'S GRIP WAS TOO TIGHT, HE CONTINUED TO STRIKE HIM WITH MORE FORCE, EVENTUALLY, IT LET OFF THE GRASP FROM BAPO'S FEET & GOT UP, TAKING TACKLER ALONG WITH HIM, BARELY ESCAPING FROM MONSTERS SURROUNDING HIM, THE SMOKE WAS ALMOST LOSING IT'S OPACITY AS BAPO WAS RUNNING]
BAPO: WE ARE ALMOST OUT OF HERE!
[TACKLER STARTED COUGHING, HE WAS WAKING UP, AS SOON AS HE DID, HE REPLIED TO BAPO'S WORDS WITH:
TACKLER: Don---Don't SET UP A R-RED FLAG!
[BAPO STOPPED, AND DROPPED TACKLER ON GROUND, HE GOT UP ON HIS FOOT, AND WAS SETTING HIS HAIRS]
BAPO: HEY YOU WOKE---
[SUDDENLY, BAPO WAS BEGINNING TO GLOW FROM HIS HAND, AS IF HIS HAND WAS ON FIRE]
BAPO: WHAT'S HAPPENING!?
[TACKLER DIDN'T SAW WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO BAPO & WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SURROUNDING MONSTERS]
TACKLER: RUN FOR IT! THEY ARE COMING!
[THEY BOTH STARTED RUNNING AWAY, BUT BAPO WAS FEELING STINGY IN HIS HAND, AS IF IT MIGHT JUST BURST INTO PIECES]
BAPO: TACKLER, MY HAND--- IT'S BURNING FROM INSIDE!
[TACKLER COULDN'T HEAR ANYTHING, BUT HE SAW THAT BAPO'S HAND WAS GLOWING, AND AFTER THAT, BAPO FELL DOWN, AND HANDS FROM THE GROUND STARTED TO PULL HIM INSIDE]
TACKLER *referred to the hands that held BAPO*: GET AWAY FROM HIM!!
[TACKLER RAN BACK, AND STARTED PULLING HANDS AWAY FROM BAPO, BUT IT WAS NOT HELPING, THERE WERE TOO MUCH HANDS]
TACKLER: GET AWAY FROM BAPO!!!!
[SOME ELECTRICITY BEGAN TO GATHER IN HIS HAND AS HE WAS TRYING TO LET THE GRIP OF THE HANDS OFF BAPO, HE COULDN'T CONTROL THE ELECTRICITY IN HIS HAND, BUT IT WAS MAKING THE JOB EASIER FOR TACKLER, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE FIRE FROM BAPO'S HAND STARTED TO EMERGE, DUE TO THE FIRE AND ELECTRICITY COMING IN CONTACT AGAIN, ANOTHER HUGE EXPLOSION OCCURRED, WHICH DESTROYED NEARBY MONSTERS, AND THE HANDS FROM BENEATH THE GROUND DISSIPATED. THE FIRE AROUND THEM WAS STILL AT LARGE & SOME ZIZZES OF ELECTRICITY IN THE AIR COULD BE SEEN]
[BOTH TACKLER AND BAPO WERE LYING ON GROUND, INJURED. EVEN THOUGH THEY KILLED MANY MONSTERS NEARBY, MORE MONSTERS FROM FAR WERE ATTRACTED BY IT, AND BEGAN APPROACHING THEM, ACTUALLY, ONE BIG MONSTER HAVING A NICE BODY AND A GOOD SWORD APPEARED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM, SEEING IT, BAPO GAVE UP]
BAPO *coughing*: We are--- done for...
[WHEN THE MONSTER SAW THEM IN THAT STATE, HE LEFT THEM, WHILE SAYING SOMETHING IN AN UNKNOWN LANGUAGE]
TACKLER: He left…..?
[BAPO LET OUT A HUGE GASP OF RELIEF & TRIED TO ACT TOUGH]
BAPO: Hah! He got scared of us….
TACKLER: *in mind* We luckily survived and he's considering it victory....
[AS THEY JUST RESTED THEIR BREATHING, THEY HEARD SOME RUSHING FOOTSTEPS]
BAPO *in a disturbed manner*: C'mon give US A BREAK ALREADY!
[WHEN TACKLER LOOKED FOR THE SOUND, HE SAW THAT IT WAS NOT MONSTERS, BUT HUMANS]
TACKLER; Hey… they aren't monsters…. THEY ARE HUMANS!
BAPO: HUMANS?
[TWO PEOPLE WERE RUSHING TOWARDS THEM IN WORRY SCREAMING: TACKLER! BAPO!]
TACKLER: They know our names, are we popular? (slowly gets up on his foot again)
BAPO: (slowly got up) NO WAY! THEY ARE...
[SAIFUR AND AQUA WERE APPROACHING THEM]
BAPO: THEY ARE SAIFUR AND AQUA!!
[AS SAIFUR WAS RUNNING TOWARDS THEM, HE HUGGED TACKLER & BAPO WITH FORCE, CAUSING THEM TO FALL AGAIN]
SAIFUR: BAPO, TACKLER! Wait, Why are you guys here?
[TACKLER DIDN'T KNOW THE ANSWER AS HE WAS ALSO CONFUSED ABOUT IT]
TACKLER: This guy's memory reset….
BAPO: AQUA..? Why are you here?
[AQUA WAS SURPRISED TO SEE TACKLER & BAPO, SHE DIDN'T EXPECT THEIR PRESENCE AT ALL]
AQUA: I can ask the same question to you as well….
[AQUA SEES TWO MORE PERSON APPROACHING THEM & ASKS SAIFUR ABOUT IT]
AQUA: Hey SAIFUR, who are they?
[SAIFUR LOOKS UP TO SEE, AND HE WAS FEELING CHILLS ALL OVER HIS BODY]
SAIFUR: NO WAY (2)!
TACKLER: WHAT?
SAIFUR: THEY ARE….
ILLEGAL HOUND & STELLER!
BAPO: WHA--?
AQUA: EVEN THEM?!
TACKLER: At this point, I am not even surprised….
[THOSE TWO ARRIVED]
[ILLEGAL HOUND SEES EVERYONE, AND STARTS SAYING THEIR NAMES WHILE POINTING AT THEM, AS TO ASSURE WHO IS BEING HERE]
ILLEGAL HOUND: Wait.. there's one less.
STELLER: Where's THEBE?
BAPO: Guys! I think there's a better question here "WHY ARE WE HERE?"
[SAIFUR AND AQUA LOOKS DOWN WITH SADNESS]
TACKLER: He may be in some grass *coughs up badly*
[HOUND SAW THAT TACKLER & BAPO WERE HEAVILY INJURED, AND WHEN HE LOOKED AT THEIR SURROUNDINGS, IT SEEMED LIKE THERE WERE A LOT OF MONSTERS, THE STENCH OF BLOOD & FLESH WAS STILL FRESH]
ILLEGAL HOUND: YOU EVEN OKAY? BOTH YOU AND BAPO SEEM TO BE IN BAD SHAPE…
[TACKLER & BAPO WERE LAUGHING TO CUT THAT PART OFF BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO BEGIN TELLING THEM, ON THE OTHER HAND, SAIFUR STARTED TALKING ABOUT THEBE, WHILE BEARING THE REGRET]
SAIFUR: Actually…. [HE TELLS THEM EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED SO FAR]
TACKLER: So we all have some elemental power….
[SAIFUR TRIED TO CONNECT THE DOTS BY ASKING BAPO IF THEY WERE INJURED, BECAUSE THE FIRST INJURY CAUSES THE OUTBURST OF ELEMENT]
SAIFUR: BAPO, by any chance, were you two injured or something?
BAPO: I am not sure about mine, but when we got here, TACKLER had some serious stabs on his body…
[STELLER TOLD ABOUT HER SIDE]
STELLER: I was on the verge of death when I got here, but when I woke up, I was healed...
[ILLEGAL HOUND COULDN'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING, SO HE JUST LISTENED, WHILE AQUA ASKED STELLER TO MOVE UP HER HAND]
AQUA: STELLER, move up your hand…
[SHE MOVES UP HER HAND]
AQUA: Now, with the intention of saving someone, try to heal either BAPO or TACKLER.
[SHE CONCENTRATES AND SOME LUMINESCENT GREEN AURA WAS FORMED AROUND TACKLER, HIS INJURIES WERE HEALING]
AQUA: I knew it…. She has healing powers.
[THEY ALL WERE AMAZED, NOT BECAUSE OF STELLER'S POWER, BUT BECAUSE AQUA USED HER BRAIN]
AQUA: Even I can merge some pattern to figure something....
STELLER: Then, why do I have ICE POWER?
BAPO: Probably cuz of your cold jokes?
[HE GOT SOME HEAVY SMACK ON HIS FACE]
SAIFUR: nice.
[ILLEGAL HOUND STOOD UP, AND SAID:]
Guys, I am not sure if I should share this but listen… when I was coming here, there was this different dimension, which showed me your----
[HE FELT HEAVY PAIN IN HIS HEART, DUE TO AGONY, HE FELL TO HIS KNEES]
SAIFUR: HEY HOUND YOU OKAY?!
[HE WAS STILL SUFFERING]
STELLER: Step aside..
[STELLER HEALED HIM, BUT IT WASN'T WORKING]
STELLER: What?
[SUDDENLY, STELLER FELT STINGY PAIN IN HER HEAD, WHICH MADE HER FELL TO HER KNEES AS WELL]
BAPO: STELLER?!
[ALL OF A SUDDEN, STELLER BEGAN TO HAVE A VISION OF A FUTURE, WHERE EXPLOSION OCCURRED, AND SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENED, BEFORE THE EXPLOSION, EVERYONE WAS OKAY. EACH AND EVERY MOMENT RAN THROUGH HER MIND, WHEN THE EXPLOSION OCCURRED, SOME COUSINS AMONG HER DIED, LOOKING AT THE TIME, IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO OCCUR IN ABOUT 3 HOURS, WHICH IS ASSUMED BY STELLER]
SAIFUR *panics*: What's going on?!
[TACKLER WAS HOLDING HOUND IN HIS HANDS & WAS TRYING TO ASSURE HIM OF HIS HEALTH]
TACKLER: HEY HOUND, GET A HOLD ON YOURSELF…
[STELLER WAS NOT FEELING PAIN IN HER HEAD ANYMORE, AND SLOWLY GETS UP ON HER FEET]
AQUA: STELLER, YOU OKAY?!
[FROM HER VISION, SHE REALIZED THAT AQUA HAS A GOOD POWER, WHICH CAN HELP HER COUSINS IN MANY WAYS]
STELLER: AQUA, stop his pain….
AQUA: WHA--? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO—
STELLER: The same way as you told me to… focus.
[AQUA TRIED, A BLUE AURA WAS FORMED AROUND HOUND AND AQUA, HOUND'S PAIN WAS NO MORE THERE, AND HE FELT RELIEVED]
STELLER: You have true healing power… What I possess is just a fragment of it, I can't heal fatal injury, so you better be ready,
[AQUA WAS SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT, AND WHAT GOT HER ATTENTION WAS THE QUESTION THAT HOW DOES STELLER KNOW THAT]
SAIFUR: HOUND, YOU GOOD?
[HE BLEW SOME AIR ONTO HIM USING HIS POWER]
ILLEGAL HOUND * feels better*: Thanks man… It's all good now, Thank you, AQUA.
[AQUA WANTED TO SAY THAT SHE WOULD HEAL HIM AS WELL AS OTHER COUSINS, SINCE IT'S NOT EVEN A QUESTION WHETHER SHE SHOULD SAVE THEM OR NOT, RATHER, SHE REPLIES ARROGANTLY WITH GRIN ON HER FACE:
AQUA: Well, Isn't it good to have me by your side?
BAPO: I guess everything is settled, now… what should we do?
[THEY ALL WERE SILENT]
TACKLER: I can't really think of anything, we got here without any knowledge, we got some powers. These powers should be used either to protect someone or destroy someone specific.
[WHILE TACKLER WAS SAYING THAT, ALL OF THEM STARTED WALKING AWAY FROM THE EXPLOSION SITE, AND STOPPED AT GRASSY PLAINS, WHERE MANY OAK TREES COULD BE SEEN, THEY DECIDED TO SIT UNDER A HUGE OAK TREE]
[WHILE TACKLER WAS SPEAKING, HOUND CAME TO REALIZE SOMETHING]
ILLEGAL HOUND: Is it just me, or my hunger and thirst died?
[EVERYONE WERE SO TENSED THAT THEY DIDN'T REALIZE THAT]
SAIFUR: You're right… I don't feel hungry…
[AQUA WAS HAPPY ABOUT THIS ONE FACT]
AQUA: yay now we don't have to worry about starving….
STELLER: That's a point.
[WHILE THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT HUNGER, BAPO CAME UP WITH A PLAN]
BAPO: Okay, I've thought of something.
Why don't we all separate ways?
[ILLEGAL HOUND GOT UP AS IF HE WAS NOT IN FAVOR]
ILLEGAL HOUND *in mind*: I can't tell them about the future, maybe that's what caused my headache just now… I can't risk splitting them…
TACKLER: ?
BAPO: We don't really have lead on what we need to do. So we divide into EAST, NORTH, SOUTH, WEST, where 2 directions will be lead by two people, while other two directions will be lead by a person, what do you think?
ILLEGAL HOUND: I think it is safe t---
STELLER: What if any of us got into trouble?
BAPO: Don't worry, I got that part, each direction will have path maker, means they will leave some traces behind, so that we can easily find them, if you all find anything, give signal using sky, either using poison in air, or ice spike, or fire blast, or great air blast.
[WHILE BAPO WAS EXPLAINING HIS IDEA, AQUA STARTED TALKING ABOUT DOPPELGANGER]
AQUA: Have you all ever heard of Doppelganger?
SAIFUR: What's that?
[AQUA WAS SURPRISED THAT, OF ALL PEOPLE, SAIFUR DIDN'T KNOW WHAT'S A DOPPELGANGER, ANYWAY, SHE REPLIES:
AQUA: A being which replicates your identity. Since we are here in this unknown place, and each of us abnormally possess powers, I am sure there are some creepy weird monsters here…
STELLER: I wouldn't want to see myself like that…
TACKLER: Then, even if we leave our trace, we won't be able to figure out if it's real…
BAPO: C'mon man that's just an assumption, there may not be any of them, I am sure of it.
STELLER: I'm not sure if I wanna split up... It's too dangerous...
[BAPO TRIED TO CONVINCE HER]
BAPO: It is... but we have no choice, we need to split up so that we can look around for a safer place, the distance is not that much, it's not like we are gonna travel the world alone.
[HOUND WANTED TO REJECT THE PLAN AS WELL, BUT HE DIDN'T WANT TO SOUND WEAK, SO HE DIDN'T COMMENTED]
[EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THEM OF BEING EXISTENT, THEY DECIDED TO SPLIT INTO 4]
[ILLEGAL HOUND, AQUA & STELLER DIDN'T WANT TO SPLIT UP, BUT THEY AGREED AFTER THEY WERE ASSURED MANY TIMES BY BAPO, EVENTUALLY, THEY COULDN'T RESIST HIS DETERMINATION FOR THE PLAN, ON THE OTHER HAND, TACKLER & SAIFUR WERE UP FOR ANYTHING]
ILLEGAL HOUND AND BAPO DECIDED TO GO EAST AS ONE GROUP.
AQUA AND STELLER DECIDED TO GO WEST AS ONE GROUP.
WHILE TACKLER & SAIFUR WERE TOLD TO GO SOUTH & NORTH RESPECTIVELY.
[TACKLER REPLIES WITH A SMALL DEPRESSION]
TACKLER: hey, SAIFUR, why is it always us going alone?
SAIFUR: Dunno man, probably we both have speed I guess?
TACKLER: YoU? And SpEEd? (Gives a gap while speaking) Nevermind, I'll go North, you go South.
[SAIFUR THOUGHT THAT TACKLER DIDN'T FINISH HIS SENTENCE]
SAIFUR: I think you have something to say…
[TACKLER TRIED TO GET AWAY WITH IT, WHILE HYSTERICALLY LAUGHING & GOING HIS WAY TO NORTH]
TACKLER: No I don't~~~
SAIFUR: You definitely do…
TACKLER: No I don't!!!!
[ALL OF THEM SPLIT UP & STARTED HEADING TOWARDS THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTIONS]
[TO BE CONTINUED]
