Blinking his eyes open, Koby looked up at the white ceiling as he sighed. Groaning from a slight headache he stood in the white room with many of his coursemates that had been awaiting lectures with him. Kai at his right, James at his left. They were okay and he was relieved to know that. Now they had to figure out what had happened and where they were. A few students were already panicking in the white room. “ what's going on here?” "Help, anybody?!" The slight mutterings soon turned to a full blown hysteria. Everyone began looking for an exit but there was known to be found. Suddenly, a bright light emanated just above the students and a human like figure with no face came in through the glimmer. It had a smile lining from cheek to cheek revealing a jagged set of teeth. The aura he emanated was terrifying. "Hello, bugs of the universe. You have all died." "Died?" Koby was surprised at that statement. Looking at his hands, he wondered if this was what death really felt like.

Shoggoth Britney launched a tentacle attack at the two boys, but they were quick enough to dodge and counter attack. Koby spinning his hatchets and dodging attacks while hacking at tentacles, James dodging and dashing while slashing off tentacles James was very effective in dealing with the tentacles but it was too much for him to handle by himself. Suddenly an idea popped in Kai’s mind “James head straight in, while Koby hacks off the tentacle attacks. I’ll try to pin her at a spot so you can finish her off.” Spitting out blood, Koby rushed in, hacking at attacks as laid out in the plan creating room for James to move in swiftly and head for the neck of the monster. The monster knew it was in a dangerous position and tried to move away but was shot at by Kai. Groaning in pain, it realized that it had been cornered and went beserk, attacking like a wild animal concentrating all it’s attacks on James. In that moment, Koby leaped up and using a spin hacked the monster’s neck. Th

Everyone looked at him with a confused look and so he explained further. “We have a lot of dead weight in the mansion that keeps holding potential survivors down. People that don’t want to use their abilities, so if we can divide everyone into units and put each unit in a section of the mansion, we can each focus on our dead weights instead of joining up and increasing the amount of dead weights.” “Then what was all that speech you gave on the steps earlier, if you were going to divide the weak ones why give the speech.” Kai asked “To give everyone a sense of unity so as to avoid people becoming desperate and jeopardizing others. No matter how you see it, this is our best way to survive.” “The shoggoths are too many and if we divide into units,we might hold them off for a while. A night or two perhaps and when everyone is at their lowest, they’ll kill us.” Rory said. “Why don’t we bring everyone together and barricade the entrances of the mansion and defend the barricades.” Zara

In a dark void, Koby floated around before regaining consciousness. “Am I dead?” He asked himself as he felf himself and the way around the void. “This is supposed to be my incarnate?” A loud voice boomed across the void. “Pathetic.” The voice said with disgust. Fear trickled down Koby’s spine as he looked around. “Who’s there?” He finally summoned up courage to ask. “Who do you think?” the voice chuckled. “If you’re going to kill me, make it quick. Don’t keep me in suspense.” Koby said. “The only good thing about you is your hate. You have an innate hatred for your own existence.” The voice continued as though, Koby had not said anything. “What do you know about me?” Koby said now annoyed at this being that was trying to read him. “In your entire lifetime, you have been beset with problems that has made you to hate existence itself. The last time I saw that type of hate was from myself.” Just then two ghostly eyes and a smile appeared in the void. “What are you?” Koby asked

Everyone tried to gather their strength while staring daggers at Koby who was trying to recollect himself with Kai and James by his side. Some had uttered their opposition to letting Koby stay alive, but none was bold enough to talk to Koby directly, because they were still afraid of him. “Kai,did I hurt anyone in my rampage?” Koby finally asked having had enough of the cold treatment everyone was giving him. “Well, technically…” “Don’t lie, tell me the truth. I can handle it.” Koby assured. Before Kai could answer , Rory came into the conversation. “Six people died, not many injured.”- he said to Koby-“ luckily the representatives kept you from killing more at the cost of their own lives.” Koby let out a heavy sigh, clearly disturbed. He looked up to see everyone looking at him, fear and anger vivid in their eyes. “I’m shocked you didn’t kill me, considering the harm I had caused.” Koby said to Rory. “Believe me, I considered it. Even attempted it. You should be thanking Kai t
