2022-04-20 10:00:00The group was seen running through the forest trying hard to catch up with Yang. Yang the purple haired man who had earlier approached the group to help them was moving through the forest like it was his home. His movements and speed was so smooth as he avoided evey branch,log and vines that was in his way.
After running for a while, they had entered a cleared out path and could see Yang still running at the front but at a much slower pace than before. The group picked up their speed to try and catch upwith him but that's when Yang made a turn and as the legionsfollowed swiftly only to discover a dead end with no sign of Yang anywhere.
"I knew we couldn't trust that ba..." Jack was about to commentbefore something else happened.
"Aaaaaaahhhh!!" they all screamed as they fell through a pit hole then quickly as they fell in, it got covered by a leaf blanket again. They landed on each other, with the only person standing on his feet being Erwin as he had long tired out and was at the back of the group which meant he had seen what happened and prepared.
They stood up dusting off the leaves and twigs in their hair.Yang who was now standing at their front looking at them said. "Welcome to the Hunters base".
As they all got up, their mouths were left wide opened staring at the large shelter in front of them. Thick walls made from wood and occasionally one could see beast cores on the walls rising very high up and wide as a bunker. From just looking at it, one could say its big enough to hold a whole batallion. The place looked like a forest as it had this natural theme attached to it, only with people moving round.
"How long will it take for us to get our own shelter" Blair said as he gazed at the shelter in front of him.
"If you plan on staying" Corey muttered.
"This way please"..said a young lady with a slim and curved body shape dressed in a white robe.

Meanwhile back in the forest, a man dressed in an all black suit of armor sat on a horse with a small army behind him.
"We have to find the chosen one by all means necessary".
"Where was he last spotted"? someone who had appeared by the side of the horse dressed in a black ninja suit with a cloak covering his head and a golden trim on it asked.
"The report brought back claims he was seen running with a group following a man through the forest"..."My faction is still searching, they looked to have disappeared into thin air"the man on the horse replied.
"Remember.... the shadow knight is our way out of this... this pocket space...Find him.." Avrion, the man dressed in the ninja outfit said as he glowed gold then vanished into thin air.

Currently, they were all in what looks to be the command centre of the hunter faction, the members of the legion faction standing and the leaders of the hunter faction sitting on a wide table.
" Remind me why there are empty seats but we can't seat again?" Blair said with a tone of dissatisfaction.
"Quiet down will ya?...we don't wanna get on their bad side remember? Eiko said in a whispering tone to Blair who understood and behaved.
The room was all white and gold in colour with ancient Chinese designs on the walls everywhere.
"Yang, what makes you feel you can bring in strangers as you please?" Asked a very large man with a white and black robe running down to his feet. He was one of the hunters leaders and went by the name Damien.
"I remember being among the leaders council of this faction" replied yang with an unfazed look. "I am here to talk to master Tofu and not you". Yang finished saying and just then the atmosphere in the room became dense as there was a certain pressure the legion members were beginning to feel. But Yang feeling this same feeling only shook his head as he stared at Damien with a look of disgust.
From the back of the room, the sound of door sliding open was heard which caused everyone to turn and look back and from the room emerged an old man in a white robe with black trims, he appeared to be over a 100 years old as he had a long white goatee and moustache. But the top of his head was a different story all together as his head was bald and there were visible wrinkles on his face." Yang, what Damien is saying is right." Said master Tofu, the man who came out of the door. He let out a cough before he continued "This faction has remained safe because we chose to distance ourselves from the other faction and outsiders in general" he said.
While he kept talking, Eiko couldn't help but whisper to his team members.
"Hasn't it been only two days since we got sucked in here?" He asked.
"I was thinking the same thing" said Mia.
"Wait, how long has it been"? Asked Rodney.
All the leaders of the hunter faction looked at him with confused looks on their faces, even Yang couldn't help but wonder what he had to say that was so important that he would interrupt master Tofu. Being the oldest and knowledgeable man in the faction, he had ruled as their leader and maintained quite a reasonable amount of order.
Although in most cases, positions like this were usually given to the strongest in the faction, in the case of Master Tofu, no one had actually seen him fight and as such couldn't quite gauge his strength with the rest of the other leaders. It was already a known fact amongst the people that Damien was the strongest amongst the three. With Yang being the second which wasn't quite agreed upon by those that have been close to him.
They would often say that Yang was actively hiding his true strength but many believed that if he eventually did decide to show his full strength, he would be exactly under Damien as the believe was that it was practically impossible for anyone to surpass master Damien.
"What do you mean how long"? Damien asked with his arms folded in front of his chest.
"How long has this faction existed?".. Rodney asked with fear he wasn't going to be exactly pleased with the response.
Master Tofu stood from his seat and approached the legion members staring at them with a suspicious face
"For as long as our ancestors can remember" he finally replied to their question which left them all with their jaws wide open..
"Ancestors?!" Blair asked in disbelief.

If one was to describe the Hunter's faction base with one word, it would be "smooth". At the warriors department one could see the veterans preparing to go for a hunt."Hey Rodney ...have you packed all your supplies"...Mia asked Rodney with a smile that just didn't suit the question..."Yes.."...Rodney answered bluntly and left to move to another area. Looking at what the teenager just did now, one would think he was rude but as a matter of fact he was worried and had no time to entertain pleasant exchanges." That preacher ....he called me the SHADOW KNIGHT"...he thought to himself as he couldn't just seem to get the thought out of his head. No matter what he resolved within himself that he had to find out more about what was going on here. It didn't feel like a game anymore and from what he saw it certainly wasn't a game they'd enjoy even if it was one.Standing off to the side not to far away from where Rodney was a guy with brown hair and two l

One of the reasons hunters were advised to stay close and keep communication was because of situations like this, where a small weak team would encounter something tougher than they could handle.Right now the legion merged up with the hunters "E UNIT" to go out on a hunt. And this unit is being led by captain Zayn, a tall muscular man in his early thirties who wields a shovel like weapon."OK guys ...we might not be able to handle this one...but I already called in informing them about the current situation...so we just gotta try to hang on until help arrives"...Even as these very words left his mouth he wasn't sure he believed himself that they could last talk more of the team he led."We've gotta help Blair"...Mia shouted..And almost instantly one of the men from the original "E UNIT" led by Zayn had swooped into action running past everyone so quick it startled them all..The man who had just ran past them was "Senior Jake", as he would like to be called.

The gold trim went around the collar on his neck and down from the back of his neck to where the dress stopped at his foot .Staring in the distance the strange man wouldn't blink even for once as he just kept on staring at only one thing and one thing alone..

They had all received the last notification at the same time and it confused them a bit. But one person wasn't at all shocked by this. This might have been the first time the others were getting a demon reference but for Rodney, this was just another proof that some voice in his head wasn't lying at all. Nonetheless, they couldn't standby and think about the quest handed to them by the system, they had a plan to finish. And this plan was very simple.After realizing who the three outside cell were, they knew playing on their intelligence would be a walk in the park and they weren't wrong about that as they had managed to get them excited enough to actually fall for their perfectly laid trap. And this trap was in form of Corey, the boy with the green hair packed in a ponytail. "In five to ten seconds you will all be on the floor" Corey said to the three in his cage torturing him. For one this came as a surprise to Orin, Tuffy and akira. They hadn't expected the sleeping substance to f
New quest received
The plan had begun right from the moment Akira made that slip up by giving out their identities. It wasn't head scratcher from then on what they needed to do. The only missing item in their plan was communication, and that was where a certain annoying voice came through for Rodney."You know the Rings are bonded to your DNA right?" Gypson said to Rodney. He had been silent for a while listening to all the plans Rodney was simulating in his head and they all came down to getting the others to play along. Each time he came to that stop, he would restart the plan to see how he could eliminate the others out of it and just go solo. But it seemly looked like he wouldn't be able to do this one on his own."Yes, what has that got to do with what's happening right now" Rodney asked as he wasn't too keen to give room for any distractions. He felt like he had gotten them all into this by asking them to surrender. And now wasn't the time for a chit chat with the voice in his head. "So, all you
A mistake
"I knew you guys had something to do with what happened to us that day!!". Erwin said with veins popping out of his head. It was obvious he was livid at this point and he had all right to be. He and the team were deceived by the trio outside the cell, drugged and stolen from. Even if all this weren't crime enough, the fact that these trio had the guts to come before them still had just done it for Erwin. He yanked on his chain hard trying to break free to get to the trio outside all to no avail."Calm down you all. If it makes you feel any better, we had you poisoned twice. But somehow you guys managed to ignore the effects of the second one. If you guys had just gone down then, we would have come silently to pick you up and there will be no need for the whole drama that went down today" Tuffy explained."And to think the dose was double of what was given initially" Akira added What he said made sense to the group as some days earlier, they had received a special notification like th
Toxin immunity
*Bing*[Substance effect reversed][Immunity developed]"Urgh..what the...where am i. And what's holding me?" Rodney said as he found he was unable to move his limbs freely. He was only just waking up and the first thing he noticed was that he was in a dimly lit space with metal bars standing and serving as some type of wall separating each segment of what he was in now, a cage. He looked at himself and could see that he was chained up to the wall. Both his legs and arms to that effect, limiting his movement to a great degree. As if that wasn't enough, he could feel a slight pricking pain at the side of his rib and multiple places on his back. When he looked down at his ribs, he could see why. The toxic sharp thorns from Damien earlier were still stuck inside of him. But with the way he was restricted, there was no way he could pull it out of him. But that was the least of his worries at the moment as a scary thought entered his mind when he realized something."Guys!!.. Guys!!.." He
Traitors(2)
After deactivating their abilities, they all turned to each other looking at one another before proceeding to raise both their arms to show mutual agreement. On seeing their action, the man in charge turned to his men and ordered that they made way for the boys to pass. And without hesitation, a path was cleared almost instantly for the boys. The man turned to look at the boys once more signalling their path had been made and they were now to walk through now."Let it be known that one wrong move and my little friend here might just have all your men here kill themselves" Blair threatened. But this wouldn't faze the man as he had had it up to here. Without thinking he blurted out his own threat back at the group of boys."This is only a temporary truce. My team and I won't hesitate to chop down any opposition if sited". If there was any hope of things calming down between the two parties, it was certainly thrown out of the window. As now the pressure was now more mounted between both
Traitors(1)
Mia and Blaze were currently being escorted by five men who all had their hands on the hilt of their weapons. They weren't going to take any chances as word had gotten to them about the chaos that was ongoing at the male's lodge. The girls seeing their action, could only imagine what the boys were doing now. If not anything, they both had one name on their mind that could single handedly cause all the chaos needed in the blink of an eye."If you are not going to tell us what we did, can you atleast tell us where we are being taken to?" Mia asked the closest to her of which she got no reply as the only thing the man had in response to her question was a deep grunt. Minutes later, she could see the answer to her question up ahead. This was a place both girls remembered quite well, even if they had only been there once.Meanwhile at some other part of the faction, particularly the males lodge, the chaos was yet to settle. Currently anybody who would happened to walk around and stumble o
Too strong for chains
Back at the girls room, Blaze and Mia weren't experiencing any more kind gestures kindness and love that the boys lacked. In fact, they both had four of the same men that were in the boy's room currently in their room as well. And just like the boys, these men hadn't knocked nicely and asked that they should be allowed in. They had simply forced their way in by breaking the door quite easily and effectively. "You know these four?" Blaze asked."Know them, you're the crazy one. I was thinking they came over because you invited them. Now I'm kind of wishing you did invite them. Please be you who called them over...". Mia began to chant but that didn't last long as it was put to an abrupt stop by the commanding voice of one of the men. And just like to the others, the two girls were immediately debriefed on what was going on and asked for their cooperation." You haven't told us what we have done wrong just yet" Blaze said with a straight face. Usually she wasn't one to go out looking
Ordered arrest for...?
[Equipment detected][Would you like to equip]. Yes/No[Would you like to brand]. Yes/NoThis were the notifications that popped up the moment Rodney's fingers had grazed the equipment. The equipment Rodney saw right now was almost similar in appearance to the beast he fought back at the jungle. Only this time, this was just a mere item and at the end couldn't pose any threat or potentially be capable of ending his life, at least not in his own hands.What got him the most was the fine details the item he had touched had. This item in particular was a chest piece that had green scales on it and extended all the way to his shoulder. The outer texture was a testament to the beast it had come from as straight away Rodney could tell it was the peak intermediate beast he last killed. This was because the chest piece had scales that were red and it definitely looked sturdier than the other two items remaining.Yes, there were two more items laid out that he hadn't touched yet. These items w
Unveiling
Rodney now made his way to the dojo, the special place he and Yang would train. And as he walked over to the place, he had a lot on his mind. The new information he had just gotten from Gypson who is meant to be his guide terrified him a great deal. He just couldn't wrap his head around it all. Although the concept behind how Gypson had gotten into his head and what he meant by him saying he was his guide was still yet unclear to Rodney. But he didn't get the chance to ask anything on it as the current thing that occupied his mind had overshadowed the other thoughts making them look to be only trivial."How is this possible...so I'll never able to lead a normal life after all this ends?" Rodney thought to himself as he continued on walking. Being a demon has never been among the things he has fantasized. A zombie maybe or even a vampire but never a demon. This was even more disturbing due to the fact that he couldn't talk to the one person he would usually go to for advice when things
