The Next Element

3rd Person's POV:

The gang began to follow the trail of the tiny foot prints in the dirt.

With zeus being up front, the other three beastmen had no choice but to follow.

Zeus: Hm.. This trail is leading us to no end...

Blizzard: Are you sure this is the trail we should be following?

Max: Uhm yeah? What other trail should we be following.

Blizzard: That one?

Blizzard pointed at the large foot prints just a few inches away from them.

Shadow: This cannot be good...

Max: Look! The footprints are just up a few walks away.

Zeus: Let's move out!

The group ran with fast speed, once they've reached the final footprint, nothing was in sight.

Even the boy was nowhere to be found.

Blizzard: What the? That's odd...

Zeus: No... That's impossible..

Shadow: Whoever or whatever owns this large of a footprint.. I'm confident it took the child with it.

Blizzard: Pointing out the obvious are we?

Max: Look you two, no more joking around we have to-

Zeus: Wait a second... Do you guys... See that?

Blizzard: See what?

Zeus: That!

Zeus pointed into their horizon to see a rushing energy of light about to hit them.

Shadow: Dodge!

Unfortunately for shadow's alert, they were all striked, making them vanish in just a blink of an eye.

They had no idea where that light had come from nor where it will take them.

Soon, all of their visions faded until nothingness came into the four's view.

Their bodies were soon dropped by the light to an unfamiliar location...

At least, unfamiliar to the other three...

Once each and every one of them regained consciousness, they felt dizzy and confused at the same time.

Blizzard: Ughh... What the heck happened? Oww.. My head!

Blizzard groaned in pain as he rubbed his head to numb the aching pain.

Shadow: I don't know too, I've never seen this place before.

Everywhere they look, there were destroyed buildings, collapsed ones, and even piled up huge debris.

The sky that they once saw earlier, beautiful and sunny, now gloomy as grey clouds devour and cover the bright sun.

Zeus: I don't recognize this place at all too... But wherever we are now, I'm certain we're far from hodore.

Max was the last one to regain senses as he was still dazed and his vision was too blurry.

Max soon stood up and took a good look at the area.

Max: Hold on a second...

Blizzard: Huh?

Max: This place... I remember it...

Zeus: You do.

Max: Yeah... But it can't be... No, it's not possible!

Shadow: Max, calm down.

Max: This is fursenburg!

Blizzard: Fursenburg? Like the actual fursenburg?

Zeus: This is the safe domain for the old era of beastmen isn't it?

Shadow: But who could've give such a massive destruction in this city? It's almost impenetrable!

Max: Just as I suspected...

Blizzard: You know about this?

Max: I don't know... I only guessed, but I didn't know it would be possible...

Zeus: Max, whatever it is that you know, you have to tell us.

Max: Uni-beasts... They used to live amongst other beings a few generations ago.. Technically speaking about the old era.

Zeus: Uni-beasts? What are those?

Max: Uni-beasts are one of the most terrifying beings ever known to history, they have every ability you could imagine.

Blizzard: Wait, how come you know all of this.

Max: I studied a lot back in high school, we were classmates, how come you didn't know that?

Blizzard: Oh.. Yeah... You were a book geek once.

Max: Yeah.. A book geek.

Max sounded irritated as he mentioned himself as a book geek.

Shadow: But uni-beasts are extinct a long time ago.. Did one of the survive...

Max: No, uni-beasts were completely wiped out by a known hero... I just couldn't remember his name.

Blizzard: Looks like we're up against something big..

Max: up against? Blizzard, our powers are nothing compared to them.. Unless if we have a help from an Etherealian...

Max said the last part on an almost inaudible tone.

Blizzard: From a what?

Max: Nothing nothing... I must've mumbled nonsense.

Zeus: Caylen!

All eyes turned to a young boy who was rushing towards zeus.

Zeus quickly grabbed the child and hugged him in relief seeing that the boy wasn't hurt.

Zeus: Oh caylen! Thank goodness you're alright.

Caylen: I'm okay Mr. Zeus..

Blizzard: Welp, looks like our job here is done... Now to get out of here..

Max: no, we're not yet finished.

Blizzard: What? We got the boy.

Max: We're not alone.

Zeus: he's right, I sense a strong presence here.

Blizzard: U-um.. G-g-guys?! I t-t-t-th-think I -know what you mean!!!

The ground was Shook as a huge demonic beast appeared in front of them.

Max: Zeus, secure the child...

Zeus: Got it.

Blizzard: what on earth is that thing?!

The demon's eyes widened.

Max: That's....

"A Uni-beast"
