WARNING: CHAOS RIFT HAS OPENED

WARNING: ENTITY OF CHAOS HAS BEEN DETECTED

CIVILIANS ARE ADVISED TO EVACUATE THE PREMISE

ARCHIVISTS ARE BEING DEPLOYED

" Another easy haul this time"

" What do you mean easy Jax, This job is supposed to be given to Amari, because we were hastily deployed

we did not even have the time to identify the rift beast or their number"

" That is your job Cron, as a scout you should have already identified the rift beast"

" Can you both stop arguing about trivial matters, Jax as the commanding officer you should act as a leader and Cron analyze the beast's location, after killing those beasts we need to archive them then seal of the rift, this is a bother......I want to have my coffee already"

" Okay, Prayl"

-EYES OF MENANOIA-

two eye-like structure manifested and floats on the back of Cron, moving erratically as it starts to search the area, it gazes on the foggy forest that was filled with Noi, trees that twist around each other making it hard to have a proper visibility. But that is not an issue, because Cron's Eyes of Menanoia are capable of seeing not just the physical form of the creature, but also their heat signature, the slightest movement and even the soul.

"Jax, Two rift beasts are moving toward us, both are canine-type"

" and another thing, it seems that there is another one of the rift beast but it looks like that it is just observing"

Jax commanded, "Prayl, limit their movements"

Prayl kneeled in a praying position and started to chant, huge thorny vine structures erupted from the ground and started cover the Noi Trees and spread throughout the area, the rift beast did not have the time to react, and the vines constricted their legs stopping their movement. MARY'S THORN

"What do we have here, you see Cron their is no need to panic both of this are just Type-3 Canine rift beast"

" I know, but the one that is bothering me, is the other rift beast that is observing from a far, it so far off that my eyes barely detects it presence"

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

" we will kill both of these first, then will hunt the other one"

Jax summoned two heavy shotguns with gold lines running down its barrell and shot both creatures

" Now let us do the other one"

the three of them rush towards the darkness of the forest, but Cron started to feel anxious, something is off; it was if they are just moving in circle his eyes started to notice that trees started to move, as if bending and contorting towards itself. The darkness that filled the forest started to pulse, but Cron notices that they are nearing the rift beast.

"HEHEEHE.........aaaaaa......ahahhah.......caCAcaaw"

"aaaeeeeaaa"

a laughing voice filled the forest but it was not human, it was trying to mimic how humans laugh, they halted their actions and noticed that their whole world was upside down, as they look up , they could see the leaves of the tree, the trunk attached on the ground, and they were walking on some sort of dark platform

darkness, there was no sight of the sky or even a cloud formation was nowhere to be seen.

" I though that it was just a chaos rift but this feeling.....it seems that we are in a different plane.....we need to get out"

" What do you mean Jax?" , Prayl asked

" This is a chaos space, it would be dangerous for us right now to continue forward, we lack the necessary number of people and equipment"

as they turned around, in front of them stands a tall figure, it has human-like body but has long arms and legs filled with chains, its has a hollow chest and slim torso, its head has three faces, showing three different emotions, the right is filled with anger, the left is filled with grief and the front face was filled with grimace, like having someone smile through an excruciating pain. It made different sounds; screaming, crying and laughing.

"No one is leaving" The rift beast spoked in cackling manner

Jax was dumbfounded, it was not his first time travelling into a chaos space, or fighting different types of rift beast but this is his first time seeing a human-like rift beast filled with twisted malice that is able to freely talk.

Jax, Prayl and Cron was petrified, fear filled their bodies they could not talk or move, it felt that a cold metallic chain is being wrap around their necks and they know that even small movement would cause their body to be twisted apart. Prayl and Cron felt that they are being drag by the chains into the darkness, just before their conciousness started to disappear-

-a sound of gunshot........ Jax shot his leg to create a shock that will force his body to move, the sound of the gunshot awakened Prayl and Cron, as a last act to fight Jax shot mutiple barrage of bullets, while Cron uses the Eyes of Menanoia to create light that will hopefully blind the beast, Prayl arms turned into huge thorny vines to create a direct attack. But all of there efforts were useless, it did nothing to the creature, not even a scratch, nothing. The rift beast just smirked and said.

" Do not....be too afraid of me....our play is just about to start"

" The Herald..... has plans....."

" Fun...."

It was then a metallic chain constricted their arm, leg and necks and their bodies were pulled towards the void.

he...hehe.....he
