While things were going down in the simulation, other problems surged outside. Dj was leading Owen and Donte to the location of one nest as a recon mission. The place that they headed was the place Dj stayed during the summer vacation, where he met Wulf for the first time. It was as well the same place that Maita was training.
Dj was wearing in gray long pants, a red shirt with a black leather jacket, and white shoes. He was standing in the middle of the road looking at the forest, trying to find the entrance that leads to the cabins. Owen then approached with a map on his hands while dressed all in dark green, while Donte was wearing all black.
"Um... Dj, is this the place?"
Owen asked. He then handed over the map to Dj to confirm it.
"Yeap, this is the place. The entrance should be right in front of us..."
Dj then folded the map and placed it in his right pocket.
"Wait, how is the entrance in front of us? This is all a bunch of trees!!"
Owen said while pointing it out. Donte then looked at the trees and saw that they moved as if it was some sort of glitch.
"Is this a hologram?"
Donte asked. He then walked towards the trees and vanished. Dj then raised his left eyebrow and followed Donte.
"Oh come on. Can't we think this over for one minute?!"
Owen asked. No one responded to his question and followed the others with no hesitation. Meanwhile, back at the simulation. Dennis was still in his black mist with Dwight while the rest were up in the mountains.
"So what should we do?"
Lota asked.
"He should be fine... He has it under control for now..."
Mora said. She then stepped back and went down the mountain. Yen and Lota followed her, since they didn't want to stay back.
Inside the black mist, Dennis was walking towards Dwight with his left hand aiming right at him.
"Dwight, come on! You need to snap back to reality or you will die!"
Dennis said out loud. Dwight didn't respond to him. Instead, he sent another lightning bolt, and it hit Dennis on his chest. It didn't damage his shirt or inflicted damage on his body.
"I didn't want to do this..."
Dennis said. He then clenched his left hand into a fist. It then got covered with black ice. The black mist then went away slowly, revealing their area surrounded by walls in a small area. Dwight then panicked and realized that his movement area was reduced.
"Dwight, I'm giving you one more chance to get back to your senses, or else I'll knock you out."
Dwight then did a small jump back and his body ended up being illuminated by his blue lightning. Dennis soon realized that he had no other choice. He charged at Dwight with his left fist ready and took a swing at his friend, but Dwight leaned back, making Dennis miss on his attack.
"I'm not done yet!!"
Dennis yelled. He then redirected his punch to the ground and broke Dwight's balance. But Dwight could recover his posture and moved behind Dennis with swift mobility. With no time to react, Dwight hits Dennis back with his right elbow. It made Dennis flop to the ground and groan in pain, but he wasn't done. He stood up in an instant and turned around to punch Dwight in the face. It was a direct hit, sending Dwight back a few inches, leaving only a bruise on his left face spitting out blood.
"Oh no..."
Dennis said. He saw a furious look at his friend and readied his other fist. Dwight then charged at Dennis, and in a second, he was right in front of him.
"Bad move."
Dennis said to Dwight. He then pointed down, and the ground became frozen in black ice. Dwight then tried to move back, but his legs froze.
"Hey Obliviona, is this enough time?"
Dennis then looked up and saw Obliviona sitting on top of the wall.
"Yeah, just hold him steady... I got something that would help..."
Obliviona said. She then stood up and showed her right hand. Then a gray light appeared in her palm. Dwight and Dennis ended up looking at her and wondered what she doing. They then saw her jump off, and she was falling straight on Dwight. Moments later, Obliviona lands on Dwight's back. Pinning him to the ground and placing her right hand on the head. The gray light then vanished, and Dwight wasn't severely harmed.
"Is he okay?"
Dennis asked. He then crouched in front of Dwight and wondered if he was alive.
"Yeah, I just put him to sleep for about 12 hours."
Obliviona then got off Dwight and picked him up.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot..."
Obliviona then looked at Dennis and was approaching him with Dwight in her arms.
"Dennis, give X a call. I want him to send something that I might need."
"Okay, I'll call him later."
Dennis said. Obliviona then turned around and left the simulation through a door made of light. As she left, Mora and the others show up and they were worried about what happened.
"I hope Dj is having a better time right now..."
Dennis then walked towards the others and explained everything. Meanwhile, back at Dj's location. They were all hidden inside bushes and had view sight of the cabins. It was five cabins, but in the center, it had a lake and it had a dark purple orb floating on it. They didn't see anyone in the area, making them decide to check the place out or leave.
"Dude... We should probably call for backup..."
Donte said to Dj. He was on the left side of Dj while Owen was on the right side. Dj then shook his head. Showing that they shouldn't call for backup.
"No, we need to leave before that thing opens. We don't want to mess around with whatever is inside."
Dj said. He then grabbed Owen and Donte to leave out of the bush. But when they got out, they heard footsteps slowly closing in on them. They all turned around and called out their weapons towards the noise. Owen called out his dual pistols and only aimed with his right hand. Donte called out his knife and had it ready to kill someone. Dj had his weapon ready, but he didn't get into position.
"Show yourself. We aren't here to cause trouble."
Dj said out loud. They all then looked at one tree that had a view of the entrance that they came from and behind it, a man came out that looked similar to Dj wearing a red coat with a white shirt on and light blue pants with a pair of gray shoes. It made Owen and Donte think it was his older brother.
"Um... Dj, do you know him?"
Owen asked.
"No, I truly don't."
Dj said as a response. He then approached the man offered a handshake with his right hand. The man then extended his right hand and went for the handshake. Making him earn his trust with Dj.
"So, what brings you here?"
Dj asked.
"I'm here with an important message and I need to talk to your leader."
The guy said in a deep, smooth tone. Dj then agreed and took him back to the house.
