— Doomfox POV —

Blaza and Gulvic, with Tommy desperately wanting to murder us, led us to a dirt clearing in he forest. It took about 45 minutes to get there, so I assumed we were pretty far from where we started. I then saw some glowing eyes from in the trees. Blaza then yelled to them,

"Hey, you guys can come out. They are your creators actually."

Buildings then faded into view, along with many creatures of different kinds. Some were human, some were monster, some were both. When the buildings weren't fully visible yet, and a familiar infected stepped out of the forest, Astor ran and slammed into an invisible barrier. Everyone cringed or took a sharp inhale to express, 'that must've hurt-'. All of this was followed by Dry going,

"Well that hurt-"

She fell back on purpose, so she was now sitting on the ground, legs out. Gulvic then retorted,

"Well no crap it did ya' crindni."

Astor spun all the way around to face him with her hands, and explained annoyingly,

"I have no idea what that means.."

"Of course you wouldn't. You don't know hybrodeic do you?"

"No-"

"Just move."

Astor then moved to the side by scooching, and Gulvic and Blaza continued,

"So yes, this is an invisibility blocker-"

"Invisible barrier.."

"That, and it was made by.."

"No other than our Socksfor1!"

Gulvic then gave a weird look to Blaza, and sighed,

"This is going to get confusing isn't it.. I mean, six versions of Socks?! Including me!"

Rapid footsteps came from behind the two, and it was a version of Socks but with wings and a tail. He tackled Blaza to the ground, and yelled,

"Where were you?! I feel like I haven't seen you in years!"

"It was practically an hour.."

"Whatever.. the parasites didn't take over did they?"

"No, not at all!"

Gulvic then deadpanned,

"Alright I'm gonna show these guys around before I puke from your lovebird crap.. okay? Cool."

He then gestured to the nine of us to follow him, and Astor immediately ran to Ryzo and squeezed him in a hug.

"Hai Ryzowo! Tell Laff I bought his merch pweaze."

She then started chanting, 'laf laf laf laf laf' under her breath, and Ryzo was confused as heck.

"Uh, who are you?"

"Oh don't worry about it.."

"Ok.."

I glanced back at Gulvic, and he was staring at Dry with an 'Are you done yet?' expression. He shouted,

"Cyan cat, come back over here."

Astor looked back at him from hugging Ryzo and retorted,

"No. I wanna hug Laff."

The grouchy infected picked up the fox with his tentacles and dropped her in with the rest of the group.

"Ok, so now that that is out of the way, I'll explain and show you guys where everything is."

We stopped in the middle of the civilization, and sat down in a circle. Everyone including me was confused, and desperately wanted answers. Gulvic continued,

"So as Blaza said, you're stuck here forever because of some technical difficulties. On another note, all of your characters are here as well. That's the reason why you all saw your characters through the portals. Astor saw Tlaxos, Drastic Dragapult saw Blaza obviously, Nephalimus saw me, RainbowDrawz saw L4FF, Doomfox saw Tommy or Nlleal, Oblivion saw-"

As I was facing the forest, I saw yellow eyes glowing in the darkness. Knowing I've read Oblivion's book, Dawn of the Others, I knew it was...

"HUNTER SOCKS??"

"Uh.. yeah! How did you know-"

Dawn of the Others Socks leaped out of the forest with glowing yellow eyes. Oblivion screamed,

"OH HEYYYYYYYY MY HUNTER BUDDY!! HOW'S IT GOING??"

The zombie growled as a response, and jumped to the closest person there, which was none other than Rainbow. He started clawing at her flesh, and she was screaming in agony. Gulvic pried him off of her with his tentacles and tried the best he could to keep him from escaping. As a hunter though, he had enhanced strength, so it looked pretty hard to keep the infected contained. Socks' eyes thankfully returned to a human eye and a slightly glowing eye shortly after that, and politely asked,

"I-I'm okay now.. could you please put me down now?"

"Fine."

Gulvic reluctantly placed the zombie onto the ground, and then turned to Rainbow, who was petrified to the point being frozen in fear. Actually, that might have been from the pain. I took a small flight over to her and asked Neph, who was standing next to her,

"Don't you have healing powers?"

"Being part angel, yes. I do."

"Then use them."

I gestured to Rainbow, who was silently laying there in pain. Neph used her power to heal up Rainbow, and it was as if she were never attacked! The human sat up and exclaimed,

"Wow- okay! Thanks Neph!"

"Oh, it was nothing!"

After the two were done, the narcissistic astronaut cleared his throat and continued what he was saying.

"Anyways, since you'll all be here forever, and we have plenty of buildings, each of you will have your own cabin that you will be sharing with your OCs. As an example, Thaz would be with his wonderland characters. You, Doom, would be with Dylan, Kentrox, etc. Neph will be with.. me and Ryzo."

Gulvic glared at Neph as if he were scared for his sanity, and Neph stared back with a "yep, you gotta deal with me now" expression. I'd feel the same way. She was the fun and kind yet chaotic one. Kinda like Dry, but had less of a need to do it for an evil power. Gulvic continued once again,

"Also, creators and OCs alike can't use their overpowered powers or abilities in the cabins. Like, in our case, Browlvic and Byzo are not physically possible in the cabins, yet we can turn into blobs still. For Dawn of the Others Socks, he won't turn into a hunter at all. Winged Monster Blaza won't lose control to the parasites anymore. Yada, yada, you get it. You're smart."

He then looked at all of us with a grin on his face.

"You guys want to explore the cabins or what?"

Everyone's face lit with excitement, not knowing what to expect. We all ran to separate cabins, and Gulvic yelled from behind us,

"OH! And by the way, you can summon any of your own characters by saying their name three times in a row!!"

Neph then screamed,

"GULVIC GULVIC GULVIC!!"

I stopped in my tracks to see what would happen. I turned around and saw purple particles surround an orange being. The cluster of violet particles flew over next to Neph, shimmering and glowing in the golden sunlight. They then dissolved into thin air, revealing Gulvic attempting to regain his balance. I heard him hiss,

"Yep, you got the hang of it."

I heard Neph summon Ryzo, and a bunch of other OCs I didn't even know about. Aquatillian, Torna, Xelphin, Shazma, Xeron, and Swolar. The seven happily went inside their cabin, with Gulvic and Ryzo following, slowly trudging behind. I turned to my cabin, only to see Tommy waiting at the door for me. He growled,

"Are you ready or what?"

"Yep."

I thought of something that would make Kestel/Imposter TBH burst out the door, and I felt something bump my back. I turned around and saw what I was just thinking of. A bag of shredded cheese. I grabbed it, and as if it were on cue, the door busted open, and a deep, guttural yell followed.

"CHEEEEEEESSSSEEEEEEEEEE!! WHERE IS IT."

His eyes immediately met mine, and he snatched the bag out of my paw with one of his inky, black tentacles. He ripped the top off the bag with as much strength as he could muster, and dumped the entire bag of dairy in his mouth. His voice returned to a calm, light voice.

"That tasted good."

Tommy then instigated,

"You're disgusting."

"At least I don't cover myself in blood for fun."

"Eh, I enjoy it."

I intervened,

"Come on you two, let's just get this show going!"

We then entered the cabin, and oh boy was it an amazing experience I'll never forget.
