Hesitation [2]

A man with ashen-grey skin moved calmly through the battlefield.

Another similar in appearance to him into view, evident panic on his face.

A Seed had gone missing.

It had been stolen by a mysterious man who attacked the base.

Darkness erupted.

The scene crumpled. The edges of its frame began to burn as it disappeared from existence.

It was an excruciating process.

The scene was corrupted. Strange discrepancies began to appear within. The ashen-grey skin of the men began to morph, their words were distorted, and even the environment around them was altered significantly.

The warped scene continued to crumple and twist into oblivion. Its original form was wholly unrecognizable in its current state.

The darkness eventually dimmed down significantly.

The scene halted.

The two men stood frozen in place.

Damien's visage was covered in sweat.

'This is…much harder than expected…!'
