The atmosphere was dark, quiet and ominous, only the sound of the wind howling in the back as the two groups stared daggers into each other's souls, Jayden's eyes looking slightly worried and Alex's teeth and fists clenched with pure, unfiltered hatred as he stared at the 2 girls in his view, both of whom he wanted dead no matter what.

"Emilia! We're here,"

Moby, the leader of the first group spoke, still in his school uniform, walking towards the alleyway where the 3 other females stood, one of whom was hidden slightly at the back.

"Finally they're here… I was getting tired of waiting…"

Moby managed to pick up a mumble coming from straight ahead, from a black-haired girl with short hair, her mouth completely covered by the fabric of her school uniform, a Rubik's cube in her hand as she finished putting in the final piece where it belonged, Moby recognizing exactly who it was, making him inwardly scoff.

"Well, well, well! You're 5 minutes early! How commendable! Seeing that you're still alive, you have yet to break our deal… So, let's not waste any time on useless chatter and go…"

Emilia walked out of the alleyway, her face that had already been illuminated by her opponent's night vision now illuminated by the moon and setting sun, lifting her finger up with a crimson flame, motioning them to come closer.

Seeing their old boss's face for the first time, Jason and Nags could not help but be caught by surprise, especially after they felt like she took a glance at them with a hint of clear malice, like they were her dinner, making even more sweat run down their visage, the nervousness on Jason's face clearly apparent while it was more subtle on Nags who knew he was a simple sacrificial pawn in his current situation.

Yet, for some reason, unlike his old partner, Nags had no regrets in his forced betrayal, if anything, he was grateful for the new powers he received and wanted to build upon what his new life had become which was the most logical course of action in his mind, and that all started with this battle.

Moby nodded back to Emilia's actions and followed her into the corner, his group following right behind him.

"Abby, if it would be so kind of you, please place down the teleporter in the corner, that would be great,"

With a simple nod, the girl that was standing behind Emilia walked out, not before looking towards the group ahead of her.

When her and Alex's eyes met, it was like he, for a split second, became an entirely different person, His cold gaze of hatred slowly fading away like a sandcastle left too close to the shore, he could not shake away the warmth in his heart seeing her alive and well with an odd feeling in both his heart and stomach.

Although they had only not seen each other for a day, in Alex's mind it felt much longer, not just due to his training in slowed time.

Yet, the look that she gave back did not reciprocate the same love and emotions that Alex bore which caught him extremely off guard despite him knowing deep down that it should have been expected, her gaze being far more cold and distant than he could ever remember her looking at him, nothing like her usual shy, yet tender loving smile he had of her in his mind, snapping him back into reality with a mellow grin and daggers in his eyes as he once again steeled his resolve and promised himself he would do absolutely anything to save her, not to repeat the same mistakes as before...

Now outside of the camera's reach, Abby pulled out a small teleport pad that was only fit to transport 1 person at a time, the design looking unlike anything they had ever seen in their lives as it was not plugged into any power source and it was glowing a dim yet visible white on the platform, almost like it was out of this world, making 1 thought run through everyone's mind.

'The Reid family is more dangerous than I thought…'

As it seemed like new, groundbreaking innovation in human science that the Reids had been keeping hidden all to themselves, that or it was simply another present from her overlord.

"You go in first and our group will be last since we need Abby to pick up the teleporter after we leave so there is no evidence,"

Emilia spoke in her usual voice, making Moby agree.

"I don't mind,"

With a nod, Moby walked past the 3 girls, them making way for his team, the fear in Jason's eyes very apparent compared to the rest of the serious group as he tried his best to look away from Emilia's demonic visage, Alex's eyes locking with Abby's for a split second before they both looked away, Abby's fists suddenly clenching tightly, Yami, who was now in control storing away her Rubiks cube with a dark smirk on her face that was covered by the cloth it was hiding underneath.

All of them now standing in front of the teleporter, the first person to enter was Alex, standing on the teleport pad, looking at everyone ahead of him only to be teleported away a few seconds later with a deep breath, Abby's fists clenched tighter as he and she looked at each other once more.

Who followed were Jayden, Jason, and Nags, all in that order, many emotions running through their minds and showing on their face, leaving Moby for last, the whiteness of the teleporter enveloping his field of vision as he walked in only to look up to see Abby heavily breathing for some odd reason, trying her best to hide her tense expression, Yami's casual demeanour, leaning back towards the wall with closed eyes, opening them only to stare coldly at him just before he left, Emilia bearing a confident smile as she waved back at him.

"Good luck!! …. …. You're gonna need it…" She spoke in a bright, upbeat tone before turning entirely dark the instant that he disappeared, his brain spinning in circles and his vision now completely white.

Before he even knew it, he was thrust into a completely different environment, his vision still white and hazy from the teleportation yet nowhere near as bad as every other time he had attempted to teleport.

As his vision became once again clearer, the entire planet and its landscape now visible and no longer white from how it was inside the teleporter that was now nowhere to be seen.

The first thing that came into view was the extremely orange light that was immediately filtered out by his vision and the slightly sandy wind blowing on his face that was unlike anything he had ever experienced in his past.

The ground was completely arid, nothing but orange rocks covering it, various cracks in the ground. Small, rocky hills in the distance in the abnormal shapes of semicircles or half rainbows covered some of the reddish sky that had various orange glowing balls that Moby could not tell were either moons or stars. Out of the seemingly completely dry, dead ground grew purple flowers of dazzling beauty, their deep purple glow very profound, some of them growing straight out of the tiny cracks on the ground.

From the pressure being exerted on Moby's body and the deep breath that he had taken in, the planet's gravity seemed to be nearly identical to that of earth, that along with the composition of the air not being poisonous at all, feeling fresh, no notification warning him about poison.

Straight ahead of him, he noticed all of his teammates, their full sets of armour completely dawned, the looks of their armour quite different from modifications that Moby had made as for the school not to correlate any possible evidence like footprints he might have missed on earth to one of their armours.

All of their faces looking completely calm, quiet and serious, even Jayden who seemed upbeat and happy in most situations in her past.

Moby decided to follow suit, opening his inventory with no movements, his school uniform now completely gone and replaced by his very own set of armour that he had greatly modified, now looking like sleek, elegant purple cloth fit for a leader instead of his previously bulky armour.

Instinctively, just to ensure everyone was prepared before his opponents arrived, Moby decided to inspect them all and himself who had gained some new stats from the paper of the book of resurrection using his inspect skill, he had the time and there was no reason not to, he would rather be safe than sorry.
