Chapter 3- The Forest

Logan, Beat and Snow appeared in the Forest with a flash. "Ok, Magnus is supposed to be here somewhere. Lets get to work" Logan commanded, Snow and Beat nodded, Snow pulled out her bravace, and Beat pulled out his Twin Brand, and Logan pulled out his Demolition comet. Logan proceeded into a room, when he heard the roar of bartles, he looked to his left, to see 5 bartles staring back at him. He ran to the right side of them, then Beat ran in and ran to the left of them, they both spun there weapons at the group of bartles, tearing them to shreads, then snow came in, in time to catch the bartle behind Beat in the neck. "Thanks." Beat said to Snow. Logan proceeded through the door, he waved for them to follow. There was a large group of gulgus, with a gulgus-gue in the middle of the pack. Beat and Logan flailed their double sabers wildly, killing anything in their way, a few of the gulgus managed to skillfully dodge the attack, only to be caught by a shot from Snow's bravace. The battle was over within a matter of minutes.

"Why are there so many monsters? There weren't this many before..." Snow said, "Maybe they're being drawn to Magnus.." Beat suggested, "Good idea, lets test it." Logan replied, pulling out his cellphone. He dialed for Rannu, it rang once then Rannu picked up. "Yes?" Rannu said, "It's Logan. How close are we to Magnus? And are the monsters flocking to here because of the power of earth?" Logan asked. "Yes, Magnus the Earth Sage is roughly a mile north east of your current position, and the monsters will try to prevent anyone reaching Magnus. They see Magnus as their master, so they must protect him." Rannu explained, "Ok, thanks Rannu." Logan said as he hung up. "So?" Beat asked, "The monsters see Magnus as their master, the closer we get to him, the more there will be. Follow me." Logan explained as he walked in a north east direction.

They walked for another 15 minutes. "If there are supposed to be more monsters..where are they?" Beat asked, Logan didn't answer, he just kept walking. The next 5 minutes were completely silent, but then a large group of twenty Tollaws. "Ok, this will need a strategy. There's to many to just rush at." Beat said, "He's right we should--" Snow was cut off as Logan ran in and tore thrrough 5 of them with ease. "OR we could just rush in like before." Beat said sarcastically as he ran in after Logan, "Boys." Snow said sarcastically as she ran in and shot a barrage of shots.

Logan stood over the body parts of dead Tollaws. then he proceeded to see the door, covered in vines. "It's not working." Snow said trying to open the door. "Well at least we know where Magnus is..." Beat said as he approached the door, trying to figure out how to open it, "Any ideas?" Beat asked, "Move." Logan commanded as he drew his Demolition Comet, Snow and Beat moved out of the way, Logan charged forward flailing his demoltion comet, he caught the door, and landed shot after shot, tearing the door down. "That good enough?" Logan asked sarcastically. The room was filled with large winding vines, the room seemed as though it had been completely overrun with vegetation.

"You have done well to come this far..." A voice said to the left of them, they turned to see a FOmar dressed in green, he wasn't armed, but he had an aura around him that said that he shouldn't be messed with. "Are you Magnus the earth sage?" Beat asked, "Yes, I am...And you arent the first hunters to stumble upon my home.." Magnus said, some of the vines began to move, and two bodies fell from the wall, one was a blue haired HUmar, and the other was a HUmar with plain short red hair, Logan looked at the blue haired one, "Wait...That's Hyozanryu!"
