      Twortz: *She quickly spun around, facing Rachael in relief.* "Rachael, you're awake."

      Rachael: *She stood up and rubbed her head, observing the area around her.* "We're in a forest?"

      Twortz: "But we were on the roof at.. My store?"

      Rachael: "I know?"

      Twortz: "I swear, if this is some sort of joke, I will be going to the authorities!" *She looked down, brushing dirt off her work uniform.*

      Rachael: "I'm with you hey-"

      *A prehistoric-like roar echoed in the distance, instantly catching Rachael and Twortz's attention.*

      Rachael: "What the bloody hell was that?!"

      Twortz: (I-Impossible?! I couldn't recognise what animal that was!-)

      Rachael: "Th-That sounded like it came from a Jurassic movie!"

      Twortz: *She suddenly frowned, forming fists.* "Lance, get out here now!"

      Rachael: (Lance?) *She looked puzzled and slowly nodded her head in agreement.* (Twortz is right, this is something Lance would do.)

      ?????: "Captain, the Scoldrant is up here somewhere!" *A man's voice yelled out in the distance, catching Twortz and Rachael's attention.*

      Rachael: "A captain?"

      Twortz: (A Scoldrant?) *She thought to herself in confusion and stepped forward, accidentally standing on a frying pan.* "Oh?"

      Rachael: *She looked down to the ground, noticing the kitchen utensils.* "It looks like someone just grabbed us and a whole bunch of stuff from work and-"

      ?????: "Captain, it's over here!-"

      ?????: "Grsraaahgh!" *Another prehistoric-like roar echoed in the distance, followed by screams of pain.*

      Rachael: "It sounds like an animal attack!" *She spoke in determination and started to jog down the dirt path towards the sounds.*

      Twortz: "Usually when you hear screams in a forest, you run the other way-"

      Rachael: "Come on, Twortz."

      Twortz: "Erh.." *She sighed and picked up the frying pan, readying to chase after Rachael.* (I don't want to go, but I don't want to be left here by myself.) "If it's an animal, do you want me to pick something up for you?"

      Rachael: "No! I already checked. The only thing other than the frying pan would be tongs."

      Twortz: *She looked down and nodded her head with surprise.* (She's right. Wherever we are, I'm glad I'm with Rachael.)

      Rachael: "Besides, I do Hapkido!"

      Twortz: "Hapkido?" *She awkwardly waddled to each side and panted heavily, trying to catch up to Rachael.*

      Rachael: (I was thinking this could've been a prank too, but why? Lance may be, annoying, disrespectful and stupid, but he's never a rule breaker..-)

      ?????: "Argh!" *A man's gargled scream caught Rachael's attention.*

      Rachael: (Over here-) *She took a sharp left and continued to follow a dirt path, noticing bright light at the end of it.*

      *A woman with short red hair in platinum armour smirked, as a creature suddenly burst into tiny white orbs.*

      ?????: "You lot had this much trouble, eh?"

      Man: *A man covered in armour, dropped down to one knee, causing the armour to rattle.* "My apologies, captain."

      Captain: *She sighed, shaking her head in a disgusted-like manner.* "How many casualties?"

      Man: "Ma'am?"

      Captain: *She sighed.* "If this goes on my record, I might not be able to get back into The Black Brigade if I ever wanted to join them again."

      Man: "Only one, ma'am."

      Captain: "Tssk." *She grunted and turned around, as if she was ready to leave.* "The Rostical Using Scoldrant has been eliminated. Back to Sorrowprax."

      Rachael: *She ran out into the clearing, instantly noticing the woman with red hair.* "People!" *She whispered to herself in excitement, carelessly running towards her.*

      Warrior: *A woman with the number ninety three engraved on her back armour noticed Rachael.* "Captain?"

      Captain: "Eh?" *She turned around and leant to one side, placing a hand on her waist.* (I don't sense any Neurons or Astragons from her-)

      Rachael: "Hey! Someone was yelling, is everything okay?"

      Captain: "..."

      Rachael: *She stopped and glanced at the captain.* "Well.. My name's Rachael, do you mind telling me where we are?"

      Captain: "Where we are? Are you joking?"

      Rachael: "No?" *She sounded confused.*

      Captain: (I don't have time for this shit.) *She grunted in thought and turned around, slowly walking away.*

      Rachael: "Ah?" *She noticed the other warriors slowly follow the red headed woman.* "Could any of you tell me what's going on?"

      Captain: "Grr.." *She frowned with a twitching eye.* "Go away."

      Rachael: "Huh? Then just point to the closest town and I'll be on my way."

      Captain: "Eh?" *She paused in mid-step, catching a nearby warrior's attention.*

      Warrior: (Our captain, PKMY, pronounced Pee-Kay-Me, has the shortest temper of all current single digits. Not even that crazy Nancy captain is as scary when-)

      PKMY: *She slowly turned around, facing Rachael.* "Are you telling me what I should do?"

      Rachael: "Well, if you want me out of your hair, just tell me where to go?"

      PKMY: "Wat about my hair?" *She grunted, looking up to her forehead.*

      Rachael: "Oh brother." *She sighed and turned around, slowly shaking her head.* "Don't worry, I'll find my own way-, kah?!"

      PKMY: *She suddenly appeared behind Rachael with her fist sticking through her chest.* "Heh."

      Rachael: *She looked down, gasping with widening eyes.* "I-Is that a.. Hand?"

      PKMY: "Yeah." *She smirked and looked over Rachael's shoulder, watching blood drip from her fist.*

      Warrior: (Our captain just flashstepped and punched that woman straight through the chest!)

      Rachael: *She coughed out blood and slowly looked over her shoulder, staring at the side of PKMY's head.* "Why?"

      PKMY: "Pfft." *She pulled back and ripped her arm out of Rachael's chest.* "Even at a young age, children are raised to be more respective to single digit warriors."

      Rachael: *She dropped to her knees and noticed white orbs float off her shoulders.* (What is this feeling? It's like.. I can feel life going out of me, but.. I feel life going into me?)

      *Rachael coughed up blood and placed her hands on the ground, digging her fingers into the dirt.*

      PKMY: "You're dead.. I hope you learnt to keep your mouth shut."

      Rachael: (This feeling, the dirt, the Earth.. I can feel it-) *She suddenly burst into tiny white orbs, leaving a patch of blood on the dirt where she stood.*

      PKMY: "Eh? She turned into Roharnia even though I felt no power from her-?" *She whispered on her breath, watching the orbs float high into the air.*

      Warrior: "Captain?"

      PKMY: "I know-" *She turned around and flashstepped, suddenly appearing next to the warrior.*

      Warrior: *He leant back slightly startled.* (I can't wait to one day learn how to flashstep.)

      Twortz: (Dead..?) *She watched the warriors leave her sight, as she kept hidden in the forest Rachael ran out of.* (R-R-Rachael.. Died?)

      *The white orbs flashed and glowed in mid-air, as if they were charging power.*

      Twortz: (Where did her body go?)

      *The orbs slowly floated back down to the ground, causing Twortz to intensely stare at them.*

      Twortz: "W-What is that light?" *She cautiously stepped into the clearing and slowly shuffled her feet towards the falling orbs of light.*

      *The light absorbed themselves into the ground, causing the dirt to flicker with life.*

      Twortz: *She awkwardly held onto the frying pan, ignoring the beads of sweat which dripped off her face.* (I need a rest-)

      *The dirt moved and an arm suddenly erupted out of the ground, followed by a dirt covered woman.*

      Twortz: "Yckee?!" *She squealed and dropped the frying pan, causing it to loudly rattle at her feet.* "Huh?" *She looked down, staring at the dirt around the pan in confusion.*

      ?????: "Ah?"

      Twort
    z: *She stared at the woman, gasping with widening eyes.* (That's not possible?!) "R-Rachael?"

      Rachael: "My head?" *She gently brushed dirt out of her hair and stood up, noticing she was covered in dirt.*

      Twortz: (I saw her die.. This.. Can't be her-)

      Rachael: "Twortz?"

      Twortz: "Ah, ahem. Yes?"

      Rachael: "Where did that red haired woman go?"

      Twortz: "U-Uhm.." *She awkwardly looked to each side, as if she was unsure how to handle the situation.*

      Rachael: "Hehe." *She giggled at Twortz.*

      Twortz: "Excuse me?" *She spoke in a stern-like manner, as if she was unsure she was insulted.*

      Rachael: "Hehe, it's just.. It's unusual seeing you so unprofessional." *She smiled, brushing dirt off her arms.*

      Twortz: *She silently stared at Rachael and looked away, as if she was awkward being in her presence.* "Well.. What should we do?"

      Rachael: *She cracked her knuckles and smirked in a casual-like manner.* "Well, we should check out the closest town or city? Find a local payphone and get a taxi?"

      Twortz: *She nodded her head in a professional-like manner and awkwardly leant down to pick up the frying pan, keeping a cautious eye on Rachael.* "Yes. That would be the best course of action."

      Rachael: "So." *She turned around and placed her hands on her waist in a cheerleader-like manner.* "Where the heck do we go?"

      Twortz: *She looked around, observing the clearing around her.* (I wouldn't have a clue. I have no idea where we are..)

      Rachael: "Twortz?"

      Twortz: "Yes, right. Let's go." *She nodded her head and started to walk across the grassy field.*

      Rachael: "Where do you think we are?" *She cracked her knuckles and started to jog up to Twortz, looking to each side.*

      Twortz: "Those hills in the distance. I think we're on the outskirts of Dee Highs."

      Rachael: "Oh? Where the train goes past?"

      Twortz: "Yes."

      ----------

      *Luna, Kerry-Anne and Kylie all suddenly twitched, slowly regaining consciousness.*

      Luna: "Gah.." *She groaned and frowned, slowly opening her eyes.*

      Kylie: "Aye?" *She awkwardly pushed herself up, glancing at Kerry-Anne and Luna.* "What bloody happened?"

      Kerry-Anne: "Blargh, this is the worst hangover, ever."

      Luna: (Did I hit my head on the ground or somethin'?) *She felt her head, whimpering in an annoyed, frustrated-like manner.*

      Kylie: *She shook her head and widened her eyes, as if she was just waking up.* "Outside?"

      Luna: *She observed the area, noticing its brown dead-like appearance.* "Are we in a swamp?"

      *Frogs and insects could be heard in the background, complimenting the sounds of popping liquid.*

      Kerry-Anne: "Swamp? The hell we get ina swamp?" *She slurred in a frustrated-like manner, reaching for her half empty bottle.*

      Kylie: *She looked at her hands, noticing they were covered in mud.* "Rank as."

      Luna: "So.. What. The. Hell..?"

      Kerry-Anne: "I swear, I'm just intoxicated?" *She looked across the swamp and shook her head in shock, taking a manly sip from the bottle.*

      Luna: "I'm gonna take a stroll around the place, aye."

      Kylie: "Be sure to get us some water, aye!"

      Luna: "Will do."

      Kerry-Anne: "The mud?" *She slurred in confusion, noticing Luna's shoes slightly sink in the muddy ground.*

      Luna: "I got this." *She sniffed in confidence and awkwardly lifted her feet with each step, trying to avoid the mud.*

      Kylie: *She held her wrists, slightly squinting her eyes in pain.* (Shit, it hurts..)

      Kerry-Anne: "Man, this is good shit."

      *Luna walked past several dead appearing trees and sighed, as if she didn't know what to do.*

      Luna: (What have I gotten myself into now..?) *She thought with quivering lips and rested her back against a tree, looking down to her mud covered shoes.*

      *Cat-like hisses echoed in the distance, instantly catching Luna's attention.*

      Luna: (Kitties?) *She sounded curious and stepped forward, ignoring her current situation.*

      *Luna listened to the sounds of squishy mud under her feet and continued to walk towards the hisses.*

      Luna: *She looked to each side and continued to walk into the darkening swamp.* (What kind of kitties live in a swamp?)

      ?????: "Yeup!"

      *A cat-like growl caused Luna to quickly look to the side.*

      Luna: (Whatever it is, it sounds like it's in pain.) *She looked up to thick tree tops, noticing a swarm of floating purple hairballs.* (What the fuck are they-?!)

      ?????: "Yeup!-" *It hopped on the ground, meowing in pain.*

      Luna: (They're like, little fur balls?!) *She looked down, noticing the hopping hairball in curiosity.* (That one looks like it can't float-)

      *The swarm of hairballs floated down towards the hopping one and started to hiss out shots of air.*

      ?????: "Yeup!" *Its fur swirled with each hiss, causing it to meow in pain.*

      Luna: (Why are they pickin' on it?) *She paused at the hopping creature with a dropping jaw, triggering a flashback.*

      ----------

      *Luna walked down a long corridor, listening to the school-like environment around her.*

      Luna: *She stopped at a locker and punched it open, causing a group of girls dressed in matching cheerleader-like uniforms to snicker.* "Wat?!"

      Girl A: "Look at you, dressed in black."

      Girl B: "Yeah, like, you're totally, like, weird."

      Girl A: "Totally." *She leant on the side and opened her hand, causing one of the girls to hi-five her.*

      Girl B: "Shouldn't you be asleep, Lunadracular?"

      Luna: "Wat?!"

      Girl A: "Weirdo!"

      Girl B: "Totally weird!"

      Girl A: "You're different."

      Girl C: "Strange." *She shivered in disgust.*

      Girl A: "You had your chance to be one of us."

      Luna: *She frowned with quivering lips and slammed the locker door, quickly storming away.* "Idiots-"

      Girl A, B and C: "Oooo."

      Girl A and B: "Luna-dracular!"

      Girl C: "Teeheeheehe."

      ----------

      Luna: (Lunadracular?) *She whispered in thought.*

      ?????: "Yeup!" *It meowed in pain, as it tried to hop away.*

      Luna: (Are they picking on that thing because it doesn't float?) *She shook her head with an awkward smirk.* (Aha, for some reason, I don't seem to give a shit about a floating furball, but the fact it's gettin' picked on.)

      *The hairballs continued to swarm around the hopping creature, hissing at it like they were bullies.*

      Luna: "Oi! Why you pickin' on it!" *She shouted and stormed towards the hairballs, catching their attention.*

      ?????: "Hsssht!" *It hissed, glaring at Luna with its large bug-like eyes.*

      Luna: "Gaghraghr, yaself!" *She screamed and quickly picked up a rock, instantly throwing it towards them.*

      ?????: *The rock hit one of the hairballs and broke into crumbs on dirt, causing it to squeal in fright.* "Hierrrk?!"

      Luna: "How you like bein' picked on, aye?!" *She screamed and picked up another rock, trying to intimidate the hairballs.*

      *The hairballs meowed and hissed, quickly floating into the distance and out of Luna's sight.*

      Luna: "Yea, that's what I thought, dipshits!" *She screamed into the distance and formed a fist, causing the rock to crumble in her hand.*

      ?????: "Y-Yeup?" *It shivered on the spot and stared at Luna, as if it was unsure what to do.*

      Luna: "Umm, 'sup?" *She looked awkward, as if she was also unsure what to do.*

      ?????: "Yeup?" *It hopped with hesitation towards Luna, causing her to step back.*

      Luna: *She gasped in realisation, taking another step back.* (What am I doing?! What the hell is that?! It's a bloody floatin' hairy ball of death thing!)

      ?????: "Yeup?" *It started to rub itself against Luna's leg in a cat-like manner
    and started to purr.*

      Luna: "W-What?" *She looked down and watched the purple hairball continue to rub itself against her leg in an affectionate-like manner.*

      ?????: "Yeu."

      Luna: (Hey, you ain't so bad-)

      *A scream echoed in the distance, causing Luna to quickly look over her shoulder.*

      Luna: (That sounded like Kylie?!)

      ----------

      *Twortz and Rachael walked along several meadow-like hills, listening to powerful waves crash in the distance.*
