A/N: Only OCs in this chapter so no disclaimers.
A small band of people walked through the forest. As they walked the cold wind brushed by them, but it barely affected them. There were three people, or four if you counted the mountain lion, in this group. We see the familiar faces of the huntress and the reanimated suit of armor, but there was someone else in the group. He wore a green gas mask, which he never took off for some reason, that covered his entire face, and wore a tattered suit. He was Charles, ex-hitman who has psychic powers.
"Do you think they found Desperado yet?" asked Charles, his voice slightly muffed by the respirator.
"I doubt it," said Swift. "That was a major rift Dez fell in, there could be millions of paths that he could've fell into,"
"Oh how lucky," he said sarcastically.
Shiv stayed silent throughout the entire conversation. Desperado was the only person that could understand him, literally, other than that he had to converse through Morse code. But it was too windy for the other two to understand it right now.
Suddenly he felt that someone, or something, was following them.
Being a ghost, Shiv is able to detect things that are otherwise undetectable by human or living creature.
And this was one of those things.
He turned around and drew his broadsword. Sabre noticed this and bumped his head on Swift's thigh to get her attention.
"Hmm, what is it boy?" she asked the mountain lion.
The lion motioned his head over to Shiv, who had taken up a fighting stance.
"We've got company," said Charles as he pulled out his silenced pistol.
Swift nodded as she readied her bow.
What happened next happened in a flash, a rift opened behind the fighters and an unknown force knocked all four into it, as soon as they fell in, the rift closed.
Three seconds had elapsed.
A small robotic spider was watching the entire thing and raced back to tell its master everything it saw.
Time Skip
A rift opened and dumped the four on the ground. As it dumped off the four it closed and disappeared.
"OK!" said Charles as he got up. "Not the thing I was expecting," he said as he dusted himself off.
"Tell me about it," said Swift as she got up as well. Sabre shook himself before returning to his master's side. "You ok, Shiv?"
The suit of armor gave her the thumbs up as he got up from the ground. "Where are we?" he tapped out.
"I don't know," she responded. "Dammit! I knew I should have brought my PDD with me, do you have yours Charles?"
"Nope," he said.
"And I'm assuming you don't yours either, right Shiv?"
Shiv nodded his head.
"Welp, sure hope we aren't in some god forsaken place that will kill us instantly,"
The group looked around and found themselves in a forest similar to what they were in before, but it was dark, and had no signs of snow.
"This looks creepy," tapped out Shiv. "And that's coming from me,"
"Lets try and get above the tree line, so we can get a better look," said Swift as Sabre disappeared. (Sabre is like a spirit-like animal and can be called upon anytime)
"Wait!" I can't fly like you guys," said Charles.
Shiv emitted a sound similar to sighing and tapped out, "Hop on,"
Meanwhile
The spider scuttled quickly across the snow covered ground and up and into a familiar looking ship. It scuttled across the ground until it came across a larger robotic spider, and called out to it.
"Hmm? What is it Trevor?" asked Arachne as she scuttled over to the smaller spider.
Trevor told Arachne everything he saw and what happened to the four.
"This is not good," she said as she hurried off to tell the others.
