(Group 2, starting on level 11 within The Singularity. Unlike with Group 1 that woke up from a long slumber upon entering this new realm, Group 2's Bat, Worm, Jay, and Virus suffered a small blackout upon teleporting inside. Memory loss, drowsiness, and an aching body was not inflicted upon these 4 members. As for the other 4 players in group 2, they have suffered all of the negative effects.)
Virus: *lifts BatPug up from the snowy ground, brushing the snow off of his robotic body parts*. "I'm going to admit, I have no clue what just happened to us."
BatPug: *increases the brightness on his headlamp to view the area easily*. "There's a hill just up ahead which seems to be the way to go. Wait...."
Worm: *pops up from underneath the snow and surprises Bat*. "Hah! Wait, Bat??"
BatPug: *staring at worm*. "Uh, long time no see?"
Worm: *pulls Jay up from under the snow*. "Yeah for real, is something messing with us?"
Jay: *spits out snow from his mouth and shakes his hair to get the snowflakes out*. "Don't you remember Worm.......this same thing happened to us when we entered Asterisk.."
Worm: *points at Jay, snapping his finger in sudden realization*. "Yo! You're right! We've gotta be back inside Asterisk!"
Virus: *shrugs his shoulders under his white cloak*. "I'm just gonna remain silent cause I have zero clue right now."
BatPug: *shaking his head*. "This isn't Asterisk, I would definitely know as I was born in that realm."
Jay: *adjusts his gear*. "Well it appears we have our equipment, is there anyone else with us?"
BatPug: *looks around with his spotlight*. "Not that I know of. If there is more people with us then they didn't spawn here."
Virus: *points up to the top of the hill that Bat mentioned of earlier*. "If we reach that hill there might be a vantage point."
Worm: *nods*. "Let's check it out."
(Walking up the side of a snowy mountain as snowflakes from the purple cosmic sky above fall within the air, the 4 players reach a lookout point on the edge of a rocky cliff. Looking out from the vantage point as the chill air blows against their bodies, they see with their own eyes in clear view, a massive gothic castle sitting atop a rocky mountain. A bright full moon shines down from the purple sky on to the castle below, giving the castle a haze of cosmic energy and a white snow like appearance on the castle walls.)
(To the left of the 4 players, a long drop off the side of the cliff will take them to the bridge leading up to the front gate of the castle, appearing to be the only way inside.)
Jay: *looks off the edge of the cliff*. "Yeaaah, I'm really curious where we are exactly."
BatPug: "Hm, not on Antares that's for sure."
Worm: *closes his eyes and holds his finger up to the side of his head*. "My enemy senses are tingling. There's someone approaching the gate, multiple entities with life forces."
(Looking off the side of the cliff down to the gate, the 4 other player's that are apart of their group are spotted, but it is unknown if they will be friendly towards one another.)
Jay: *nudges Worm's shoulder*. "They're humans, they must be in the same boat as us."
Virus: "Heheh..."
Worm: *rubs his shoulder, glaring at Jay*. "Bruh, like......bruh..."
(Without a word to his teammates, BatPug jumps down from the side of the cliff and slams into the ground in front of the 4 other players, cracking the ground from the weight of his robot body.)
BatPug: *looks up menacingly*. "...."
StoneFlare: *jumps back from the sudden appearance of Bat*. "Oh shit! An enemy!"
BatPug: *laughs*. "So, that reaction explains your situation perfectly."
Rex: *reaching for his sword on his back*. "What situation?"
Worm: *jumps down from the cliff and floats down to the ground easily with his cape*. "Hey! Let's not engage each other, I can explain all of this......sorta..."
Acro: "Explain away then fancy cape man, I'm fine with whatever."
Worm: *sighs*. "Oh man, I hate introductions."
(After some time of Worm trying to explain his thoughts on what's going on and who he is to the 4 other group members.)
StoneFlare: *thinking deeply with his eyes staring up towards the sky*. "So, I guess we're teammates then?"
Rex: *growls quietly*. "I don't like this..."
BatPug: *lowers his guard back to a relaxed state*. "Now that that's over, can we try and gain some Intel?"
StoneFlare: *raises his hands defensively*. "I'm just gonna go out and trust y'all even if it kills me. Please don't kill me...."
Worm: *chuckles*. "You don't have to worry, I'm not gonna harm any of you."
Virus: *thinking to himself*. "Worm may not harm them, but can I? These new dudes are annoying and I wanna gut one of them..."
BatPug: *tilts his head towards Virus and pokes him*. "Your aura says it all, stop it."
Virus: *lifts his white hood slightly to reveal his eyes to Bat*. "You once told me a story of what seemed like a different reality of yourself. Let me ask you, what made you turn soft?"
BatPug: *looks away from Virus*. "Nothing has...... I'm still exactly the same and I agree with your intentions..."
(As all 8 members of the group introduce themsleves to one another, they head out on to the bridge leading up to the castle. But, Virus and Bat are slogging slowly behind the 6 other players.)
BatPug: *glancing towards Virus*. "Trust me, as much as I wouldn't mind going on a mindless killing spree like I once did in the past, doing that once again in our situation would not be beneficial."
Virus: "Heh, I think not. People hold us down, they get in our way, make us weak. Going about life at our own pace with nothing to hold you back, that is how you thrive."
BatPug: "I know. Ludwig thought he could keep my siblings and I in check, we brutalized that prîck with no mercy or care for consequence. I was stronger then...."
Virus: "We can do whatever we want Bat, who can stop us? Sure there will be resistance but, just remember what you can do and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise."
BatPug: "...."
