(Third POV: Mahito & Sloth)

"Here you go, Sloth." Mahitoasm gave Sloth the four weapons he had made. Sloth had checked over the weapons, and his eyes widened.

He was tired, but he knew if he let the others get their hands on any weapons like the ones he had just gotten, his power gain wouldn't be as high.

"Yeah, I think we should redo the deal..." Sloth said to Mahitoasm as he sat on his bed.

"The fuck do you mean 'redo the deal'?" Mahitoasm asked with a small amount of anger due to Sloth's dumbass sentence.

"You said we would be allies after I made these weapons, and we made a binding vow; you can't go back on that!" Mahitoasm gritted his teeth with frustration and even began pointing at Sloth.

"Yeah, we are allies, but I wanted a new deal where you-"

"Shut ya dirty ass up. I'm not giving you a binding vow where I can't make weapons for other people." Mahitoasm had cut Sloth off before he could finish his sentence, as he knew exactly what he was going to try and say.

"Well, damn, I tried. Anyway, get out. I'm going to bed." Sloth made a shooing motion as he got into his bed.

"Well, fuck you too." Mahitoasm shrugged his shoulders as he spoke and began walking to the door. Opening the door and closing it behind him, he made his way to the elevator.

He had left Sloth's bedroom door open and turned the light on so that eventually he would have to get up to turn it off.

*ding*

"Hehehehe..." He laughed as the elevator door opened up. Stepping inside, he pressed the button to go to the top floor.

"Fuck you, Mahito!" A scream from Sloth's room rang out as the elevator door fully closed. Mahitoasm had a devious grin on his face as the elevator started moving up.

...

(Third POV: Ghost & Omni)

In a field with randomly placed deep holes and destroyed trees, two people were fighting. Well, one of them was just taking hits while the other was throwing attacks.

A hook, five body shots, and a punch in the face had all landed on Omni. Ghost had been beating Omni for two hours straight.

He had put no cursed energy into his punches. His goal wasn't to beat Omni to death but to have him take enough damage to unlock the reversed cursed technique.

'In the Minecraft mod, all anyone would need to do is take damage. But this is taking forever.' Omni thought as he caught a punch from Ghost.

"Are we done?" Ghost said as Omni let go of his fist. They hadn't achieved their goal, and both of them hadn't slept yet.

"Yeah, I'm tired, and even though you've been hitting me for hours, it doesn't look like I'll be learning it today." Omni rubbed his eyes as he began walking back to the hotel.

Ghost followed behind him with his hands in his pockets. Omni had asked him if he could help him learn the reversed cursed technique. He understood how it was explained the normal way, but the Minecraft way seemed way easier, so Omni went with that route.

He put barely any cursed energy into his punches, and if he had to explain it, it would be like Omni was taking a half-heart of damage before regenerating to full. Even though this was a long process, it would still be worth it in the end.

"By the way, you want to go to that store Sloth found? I heard they had microwaveable instant ramen. It would be best if we grabbed as much as we could and stored the items in chests." Omni turned the corner and began heading to the store.

"Sure, I guess, but does putting items in the chest freeze their time?" Ghost had asked Omni a good question, which had made Omni smile.

"Yeah, it does. I accessed the inventory of the fridge, and it seems the items inside the fridge are separate from what we put into it through the Minecraft inventory." Omni walked through the street with Ghost behind him as he explained his reasoning. The store was in front of them, but they had to walk through the empty parking lot. It was a supermarket.

"That explains where y'all have been putting the good food." Ghost's face turned sour as he thought about what had happened to most of the good items people had picked up from the store and restaurant.

"Hahaha! You snooze, you lose, Ghost!" Laughing at Ghost's plight, Omni entered the supermarket and was hit with the cool air.

They had walked into the store, only for Omni to put down three double chests. "Alright, Ghost, we are here to rob the place dry and put it in these chests so they don't rot!" Omni pointed to everything in the store before turning to Ghost, who had a dumbfounded look on his face.

"Before we get started, Ghost, did you spawn with a note in your inventory?" If Ghost had expected this question from Omni, then his face definitely didn't show that he did.

"No, I didn't. What does the note say?" Ghost checked his inventory as he spoke before looking at Omni again.

"Well, it started with $&@&$$ @*#%%##-"

"STOP SPEAKING!" Ghost covered his ears from the ear-shredding sound coming from Omni's mouth.

Omni smiled. "Well, the note did say I couldn't tell anyone about what was in it, but I tried."

"So the note said that you can't tell anyone and you try anyways?" Ghost said in order to check if Omni really did do something that stupid.

Omni shook his head up and down. "You're fucking stupid." Ghost facepalmed as he saw what Omni's answer was.

"Well, let's start collecting stuff, Ghost!" Omni ran forward right after he finished his sentence. Ghost shook his head one more time before running in another direction.

(One hour and thirty-seven minutes later:)

Omni began walking down the road with two double chests on each shoulder. Ghost was walking beside him with two double chests on each shoulder as well.

"See, that wasn't so hard, right, Ghost?" Omni had a smug look on his face as he turned his head toward Ghost.

"We spent forty minutes grabbing things and the rest of the time eating chips and sitting down. We could have been out of the store way quicker." Shaking his head, Ghost had a tired look on his face, as if it were taking all his might to stay awake.

"I wonder if anyone besides Shizu is awake."

"Probably not. We did stay up all night, so most of us should be up around the middle of the day."

Suddenly, Omni stopped walking, and his face turned to one of shock. "Hahahahaha!" Omni's laughter caught the attention of Ghost, who stopped walking and turned around.

"What's so funny?"

"I forgot I have teleportation..."

"You're a fucking idiot. You could have done this all by yourself."

"Yeah, I'll be taking what we didn't get back to my room and storing it in chests."

Omni suddenly disappeared in front of Ghost, who was dumbfounded at his abrupt disappearance.

"Wait... you forgot to take me, you fucking idiot!" Ghost screamed out to the heavens like someone had murdered his entire family and then said 'oops' as an apology.

And so Ghost's journey of walking home commenced.
