This night was a beautiful night, with the red city in front.
The screams of innocent lives where the music that filled the air like a chore singing to the sound of the burning city they where running in.
„Ok psycho shakespeare, we have to go now. This will definitely draw their attention and they have no other choice but to see it as an attack of tandescers. who knows how long we have `till they close the gates“
a voice said piercing through the music of the night
„can i punch him?“
the girl in black said
„you know that thats just `gonna make it worse“
the tall man behind her answered while quickly trying to grab her
„how much could it hurt if i punch one or two holes in him. it just pisses me off every time he opens his moth“
the small girl uttered while ferociously roaring imitating the behavior of a wild animal
„ok i need both of you to stop right now. seeing this is fun and all but i have to think how we best get away now without anyone noticing“
„just let me go. i just want one punch“
and over time the girl came close and closer to her roots of the formally most ferocious predator
out of a crack in the air he pulled out a fan which immediately grabbed the attention of the other 3 who all jump aways a few steppes
„are you insane, what was that with leaving quietly if you pull that stunt we might as well left a letter with our names and location“
„then just SHUT UP, the lot of of you and let me think. its not like we could of planed for the crystal shattering“
„first of all we should just run. the longer we stay at one place the more likely we will get caught. wasn’t there a breakout on the way here, that would get us out if we can sneak through“
the tall man answered pointing towards the forest behind them
„and how do you expect us to ‚sneak‘ in. it’s in the middle of a city. even without the guards, normal people would notice if we go near the outbreak“
after finally calming down replied the girl
„no, no, there is a truth to these words and is it not your pride to be master of the senses“
‚psycho shakespeare‘ hummed in a weird rhythm as if trying to fit in to the flames
„it’s not impossible for me to get through unnoticed but…“
„ok then thats what where doing“
„i think we waited a bit too long, they’re already searching the area. how did the even get here this fast? they don’t even have advanced communication without using the system.“
the tall one said holding his hand to his eyes like binoculars and then pointing towards some shadows moving outside the city
„a’it time to move out, the city was in the canyon a few kilometers from here. that would be south east“
with that all 4 started running into the forest leaving behind the burning city.
before the group now was and endless abyss where only sometimes a few small lights shimmered as if they where trying to push aways the darkness. without hesitation as if called by this abyss the girl jumped down closely followed by one of the guys like a guardian angels
„ARE YOU GUYS STUPID! how do you expect to not get seen when your crash landing from the sky! why do i have to deal with those guys all at once. i know this was the only fitting team but have some mercy on me, even i have my limits“
shaking his head and searching around the chasm he looked towards the last one of the group and without saying a word both jump down to some ledges sticking out to reach the bottom.
in the city now was a huge chaos after hearing 2 big bangs from the first 2 of the group landing, thankfully hidden by a dust cloud thrown up from the impact.

„maybe is wasn’t the best idea to just jump down“
the guy said and rubbed out of his eyes some dust
„are you kidding me? i’m not going to climb down this dumb cliff for 10 hours“
and while saying this before the girl a green window appeared with a map of a city appearing on it. she searched around on the map for a bit then made it disappear and ran away from the direct guards came.
„at least tell me where we’re going“
„not like that would change anything and you could look it up yourself“
from the cliff jumping down they saw 2 silhouettes one making some rude gestures towards them then pointing to the plaza in the middle of the city.
„that clears that, its time for me to make us a cover“
with that she again a screen appeared before the girl this time in blue on it being a list of different names of items. while scrolling down she made every now and then some disappointed noises until she finally stopped on one
‚Piece of Night‘ 3000 Ascon
A small piece belonging to the night sky that shattered
out of it when a great titan fought with his archenemy.

„great giant my ass. that guy was so annoying to deal with but at least with this one thing he did a good job.“
she pressed the buy button and a cloud like thing appears on her hand which she immediately ate followed by a giant explosion of black fog appearing over halve the city.
after that both said „star detection“ and ran towards the plaza in this complete darkness dodging the panicking people as if knowing exactly where everybody was.
„next time don’t do something this reckless when it took us 400 years to prepare this or i will rip out every single tail of yours personally“
a voice out of the darkness said to the girl followed shortly by the all familiar sound of the outbreaks portal
„it work out didn’t it so everything is fine“
and after everybody pulled out a small stone they jump into the gate. inside was nothing special, if taken at face vale being nothing more than a tier 1 green gate, with the exception of an unassuming wall having some strangely deep holes in it in which the group put the stone one after another every time pulverizing the stone followed by a smaller gate opening until someone entered it.
„this should be enough. escrlowrn hasn’t even seen tier 2 dungeons up until now so they shouldn’t be able to follow us through a heavens door.“
„and you really think this will be enough? we now attacked 50 worlds exactly like you two said so this should trigger it right?“
„if everything that elenie and i found was correct the event should start now in a few years. even that thing can’t take this much damage without noticing“
„well doesn’t matter to me. simply wreaking havoc is fun enough to me.“
interrupted the girl the discussion of the two
„we’re not doing this for fun. but at least you did keep your promise and took it series all this time so i’ll have to keep mine.“
out of the distant a loud scream interrupted him
„kyyyyaaaaa“
„lets first go home these thing are just to annoying to have good conversation“
and with that the adventures of the group found their end for now. leaving this jungle of uncertainty behind for now awaiting the future that is to unfold
„but now i can punch him right! you won’t stop me this time as we are no longer in hiding“
„do whatever, i had enough of you two for the day“
she immediately sprang at him grabbing thin air as he started to run as fast as he could away
„you really let them fight here? isn’t this a bit… claustrophobic?“
„it’s not like they fight for real if you would even call this fighting. it’s more akin to some bulling someone else“
„LEAVE ME ALONE YOU WRETCHED BEAST! I AM NOT A PLAYTHING TO A CAT LIKE YOU“
„now he’s done it. calling her a cat in her face never ends good“
„WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY YOU GLORIFIED CAT TREE! LET ME SHOW YOU HOW MUCH OF CAT I AM WHILE RIPPING OUT ALL YOUR ROOTS!“
while saying this she threw up some obscene hand signs toward him while now also throwing curses towards him during her hunt
„AAAAAAHHHHH! DON’T JUST SAND THERE AND WATCH ME LIKE THIS IS A THEATER“
„you’re doing great right now. why would you need help?“
he replied
„we’re pretty far out right now aren’t we? we should be able to make a great rift without escrlowrn feeling any side effects.“
the long one asked him in between his cheer for the girl
„yeah this door seems to have goon extraordinarily far away so lets just do it the fast way“
before both of them now appeared a green screen and both clicked on one of the buttons on the side saying ‚transport rift‘ after which a second screen appeared

„this is such a rip of. 100 per person, if you would use the general gate system this would be only 1000 medals“
„not like we could use the general gate right now. 2 person, global, Alfitier“
„i know but still. 2 person, global, Alfitier. i’m gonna make them pay me this back. he you two stop it now and get over here we’re opening a rift“
With the rift opening both of them ran towards them, for different reasons it may be, ‚psycho Shakespeare‘ jumping in his hopefully safe zone closely followed by the girl not letting him any time to breath after which the other two walked through the other rift now that the first had closed
