The group was exploring this forest. The group, at that moment, realized that they hadn't eaten in days... And they just got hungry, unbelievable.
They decided to look for food in that forest. Fruits. They found some berries, and they all ate them. They may have been poisonous, but they did nothing to them, absolutely nothing.
They continued walking through the forest, seeing different kinds of trees, among which there were pines, firs, larches, etc... Of course, our protagonists did not know that the trees had names.
In the end, they ended up walking without a clear direction... In fact, they were lost. They decided to rest, sitting on a rock (except Pointy, obviously... The thing is, he doesn't get tired of flying. Really, even if sometimes he says he does).
In the distance a human silhouette could be seen, walking away, the only difference being that it had horns.
- Hey, that looks like an enemy, doesn't it? - said Roundy, very nervous. - Is it an enemy? Tell me... I'm scared...
- It is! - said TRX. - Isn't it?
- I don't know, it looks like a strange animal. - said Blocky. - Just like the animals we've been seeing.
Pointy got a little closer to that creature, cautiously, then came back and said:
- Now that I get a good look at it, yes it is an enemy, get ready!
The appearance of the enemy was most peculiar... Although, for what the group had already seen, it wasn't that strange. It was a tall humanoid, approximately two and a half meters, with a stocky body, red in color, with large scars, like cuts, on its chest. It had two black horns. He wore baggy white pants and wore nothing on top. It had no face, instead there was a large mouth with pointed teeth. His hands... They weren't his, so to speak, they were sewn to his forearm and they were black hands, and his fingers looked like blades. It was a little bit scary.
They all stood in a C-shaped formation... Something like that. The thing is, it looked like that creature hadn't seen them and was getting farther and farther away.
- Hey, come back here! - shouted Blocky, the monster seemed to have heard her; the monster burst out laughing and... He stuck his hand into a kind of portal.
- What? - said Pointy.
Out of nowhere a portal appeared behind Blocky, and the monster's hand came out of it, to hurt Blocky, but Blocky was faster and did the same as the other time: she made an ice barrier, avoiding being hit.
- You're really agile... Let's see if you can dodge this! - shouted the monster in a scary voice.
The ground beneath the group began to rise sharply and the monster started to approach at a frightening speed and... It rammed its horns into Roundy... Although it didn't go through him, the hit he received damaged him quite a bit.
- Interesting, you were able to resist this attack... You are indeed protected by a divine aura...
- What do you... mean by divine aura? - asked Roundy, who was slowly healing at the time.
- This. - said the monster and touched him with its claws, which began to evaporate at his touch. After doing so, it jumped back a few meters. - It's unbelievable, little creatures like you, who don't have the slightest idea of what you're doing, are sweeping away the generals of the Infernal Army as if they were nothing? Damn it! I have to beat them, or else... Arghhhhhhhh!
The monster let out a scream that could be heard for miles. It started clutching its head, as if it felt a very sharp pain and also started approaching the group erratically.
- I have to beat you!!!
The monster began to... Levitate, yes. A red aura surrounded its body. It was looking up at the sky, apparently.

There was a terrible earthquake. The earth opened up and swallowed everything in its path (just saying.).
The group was saved by Blocky (who else), who made a bridge of ice (for them to run over.) that, every time the ground fell, moved forward so they had somewhere to stand. They did that for twenty minutes, planning what to do.
Just like the time of the tornado, the landscape was ruined.
That monster, which was still levitating, was expelling energy from its mouth. It could not contain all the energy that a higher entity had given it.
- Is it going to kill itself or what's wrong with it? - said Blocky.
- Everything keeps destroying around him and he doesn't even flinch, interesting. - said Pointy.
- So, do we use our power on him? - said TRX.
- ...I say yes. - said Roundy.
- Okay. - said Pointy. - said Pointy.
They charged the power that they used on some of their previous enemies and... They severely damaged that monster. His skin was charred, his stomach had split open and part of his guts, which were out, had been charred... But he was still there, floating menacingly.
- What now? - Blocky asked almost instantly.
- I don't know... Huh? - said TRX. - What's...?
- ...Happening? - said Roundy, taking the opportunity to say something.
- Agh! - Pointy exclaimed.
The monster was regenerating, but, out of nowhere, it disappeared. Just as Pointy shouted, the monster appeared in front of the group, on the platform they were on. The monster's appearance changed as it appeared. Its horns were now more pointed. Its teeth were sharper. Its hands had become swords and it now had six... Legs? Legs? It was hard to tell... Or maybe not, he had normal feet. It also had wings (which were HUGE and black) and a tail with a stinger. Ah, besides that, the color of its skin became more yellowish, that is... It gave it an orange hue.
At that, the thing hit the ice they were standing on. It broke it and made them all fall. Blocky re-created ice underneath his friends (minus Pointy) so they wouldn't fall and separated them so they could get away from the monster. The monster was falling for a few moments, but began to glide.

After that event, TRX and Blocky, without a second thought, attacked it again with ice swords. For some reason, they were faster than the monster and attacked it crosswise. They opened his chest with their attacks.
The instant they finished doing that, they quickly moved away. The creature, with its wounds, appeared to Pointy and hit him with its sword hand (yes, it didn't cut him) and made him fall into the void.
- Pointy! - they all exclaimed, and Blocky created a platform to save Pointy. The fall hurt him too.
Roundy, with his ice platform, approached him and, without saying a single word, healed him, but not completely because the monster appeared near them, already without his wounds, and tried to cut them by making erratic movements, but he couldn't hit them.
Blocky, with her ice, made Pointy approach TRX because she realized he wanted to say something, but... She was moving him quickly from place to place because the creature was focusing on him more than the others, for some reason.
Finally it got close to TRX.
- T-that coin emanates something weird, how about wearing it? - Pointy proposed to TRX. - Maybe it will help us in some way.
- Okay, I'll do it! - shouted TRX as she walked away from him. - I'll wear it... Aghhhhhhh!
- TRX! - they all shouted.
TRX, after putting on the coin, almost instantly began to feel a surge of... Something. She felt so much stronger and more capable than before, but... Out of nowhere, she started to feel a horrible pain all over her body. It was as if she couldn't stand whatever she was getting from the medallion coin.
- Get it off, quick! - Blocky exclaimed as she dodged the monster's attacks. One of those blows hit near where she was standing and she fell down but another platform was instantly created.
Also, from its mouth, it began to launch a kind of lightning bolt towards the group, but... They dodged it too and the lightning, when it came in contact with the ground, made everything explode. Everything was on fire on the ground. It was chaos all over the landscape at that moment.
- Oh, wow... - said Blocky when she saw that.
- I won't take it off... I-It's the only way we can win. I know we can... C-come on. Let's use our power again...
- Aghh! I-I think I can use it again... - TRX told them, she didn't want to scream because she thought it would hurt more.
- But...! - claimed Pointy, who still didn't understand what was wrong with TRX, he only knew she was suffering.
- All right, let's do it. - said Blocky, who at that moment was too close to TRX to not shout.
The creature moved away.
"These creatures... They adapted to my new way of fighting and, besides, they are capable of resisting blows that would be able to destroy huge cities... And on top of that, they absorb the impact... That is... I have no chance of winning... I'm sorry, Sir... Even with your help I won't be able to protect the seal... But..."
- I'm going to deliver my last attack.
TRX, with sword in hand, was accumulating energy, from her friends, on the tip of it while she... Suffered more. The creature rose to a great height.
- Take this! - shouted the monster as it swooped towards them. A kind of dark aura formed around it, in the shape of a blade.
- Aghhhh! Take this too! - exclaimed TRX and made a slash with her sword towards the monster. A beam of energy shot out towards him and...
- Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
The monster was split in half and its attack was nullified. Moreover, it began to disintegrate. At that, a light flooded the whole place.

Then, out of nowhere, Blocky said angrily:
- These guys are so...! I don't even know what to say, argh!
They all watched her. They were back on the ground. The place was not destroyed.
- Huh? Well, it's true, we didn't try very hard to beat them... - said TRX. She wasn't with the medallion coin. - And yet we beat them easily. Although this one... It was a bit difficult. My whole little body hurts... Ouch...
- I know, but... Still, I don't understand. - said Blocky, confused.
- Right, it's like... - said Roundy, while healing TRX, but he was interrupted by Pointy.
- It's as if something or someone has helped us or given us the conditions for our victories, that don't feel natural. That's what you were going to say wasn't it, Roundy?
- I guess... - he said, and no, he wasn't going to say that.
During that conversation, the group saw a deer.
- Hey, what's that? - Blocky asked, excited. - Shall we follow it?
- Yes! - they all replied.
The deer heard them, saw them and started to run away.
- Hey, come back here! - shouted Blocky.
The deer ran away. The group followed him.
On their way they were amazed by the different species of animals in the area: they saw a few foxes, weasels, a lynx, a bear, and so on.
- Congratulations.
A voice echoed through the forest. It was a very warm and comforting voice.
- Congratulations on unsealing the world. Now all is well... The world where it all began can be saved, along with the entire universe.
A man with brown hair and white robes was the one who said that.

The group went to an area with very few trees and, standing in the middle of practically nowhere, two men dressed in white and a not too hideous creature whose shape changed every instant appeared... The only thing that did not change were its six wings and its infinity of eyes... Besides the fact that it looked like a chair or a throne.
- Hey, what are you doing here? - said one of the men in white robes to that aberration. - And why are you looking like that?
- I just came to observe you, nothing more. - replied the aberration with a voice like thunder, and added. - And I wanted to impress the heroes, but they don't seem to mind my presence. Oh, well.
He was actually too lazy to change his form.
- Phew... Well, it's time to explain what happened.
Said one of the men in white robes. The chair or throne watched the group, it was strange, each eye focused on a different member. It was weird, it was strange, it was... I think you get the idea.
