Helena was in a different area of the forest, running from a pack of squirrel-size wolves with a bite strong enough to bite off a chunk of flesh and bone without trying. She was unfortunate enough to know that very well at this point. The only reason she was even alive was due to a regeneration rune placed on her by Maria, that used Helena's own mana to support it, so it was stronger than it should be. But that did nothing for the pain of losing the pieces in the first place. She wasn't fast enough to completely outrun them and her gravity magic wasn't accurate enough to catch any of them. And ever time she tried she lost at least one part of herself. She felt herself getting too exhausted to run. In her head, shelled in fear was the thought of the rune not being able to save her, if they actually bit off the rune on her back. So if they caught her, there wouldn't be anything to regenerate. The fear began to weigh her down and cause her to get exhausted even faster. She began thinking that this would be the end of her. Her eyes began to blur as she began shedding tears while running. This only excited the monster pack even more. As they tried harder, being fueled by her despair and fear. Thinking this would be her end, she recalled fond memories of her brothers and mumbled an apology for not being able to protect them. She began sobbing loudly as she dropped to the ground and one of the wolves bit a small chunk out the back of her neck. It was where she held a scar from years earlier. The pain she felt on that one spot was actually a familiar feeling. Though it regenerated almost instantly, the pain didn't go away. It was a pain she had forced herself to bury deep in her head. The pain of that scar was now, once again unforgettable. It reminded her immediately of the pain and suffering she and her brothers went through, while enslaved to the Sei family of Psi-City. The torture and unforgettable anguish used to push them all to the peak of their potential. The potential crafted within their every cell by the same people who would force them into a living hell. All of that came back to her the instant she got bit on the back of the neck. The pack of wolves halted their attacking. Not because they felt any different, but because they couldn't move. The bones in their feet shattered, followed by their legs, and soon the rest of them as they were smashed into the ground by an insane amount of gravity. Everything within a radius of a few dozen feet were made paper thin by the gravity. She stood up and took a step forward, and the gravity radius seemed to keep her centered, smashing everything within the same area. Being out in a clearing actually made it easier for larger creatures to spot her though. Particularly a massive T-Rex like monster who seemed to be too strong for even gravity to mash him into the ground. When it made a lunge at Helena, the gravity returned to normal, resulting in the monster jumping high into the air my accident. Helena turned around and looked up at the monster, displaying a terrifying grin many thought she was incapable of. She held a single hand up at the monster as it was falling back towards the ground. She did a basic fire spell that released a massive inferno wave engulfing the monster and covered the entire forest under a terrifying red glow from her ongoing wave of fire. She had shifted t the savage soldier she was made to be within Psi-City. A mindless killing machine void of reason while without the control of a psychic master.

Sonata landed on Helios's shoulders in the middle of him fending off the monster trees.

~Sonata~
Hey Hexadecimal! I never see you without Herculirious!

She wasn't aware, but she recalled someone else's memories for reasons unknown. She never met Helios nor Helena. A barrage of tree roots when right for her, yet she ate through them, literally. She was almost like pac-man on a rampage for the time she went eating tree roots.

~Sonata~
What kind and color undies do you wear? I wear blue and white stripes. See!

She tried raining her skirt and failed, even though with him being under her, he could see them anyway. So focused on raising her skirt, she forgot all about the trees. One of the sharp tree roots hit her right in the forehead, where Excel took the form of a helmet just in time to protect her from turning to stone.

Sonata jumped off his shoulders poorly and landed on top of her head, again breaking her own neck. She lied there unable to move.

~Sonata~
I knew surfing would be fun. But not that fun.

She eventually regained mobility after her natural healing went into overdrive. She sat up

~Sonata~
Since that was so fun. I can grant you a wish if you want.

She had forgotten she could do that up until now.

Sonata removed the red stone necklace from around her neck and it broke, A sign that his wish was granted.

~Sonata~
Done!

She didn't really understand his wish too well, so she did what she thought he wanted.

~Sonata~
There ya go! Now you don't have to worry about sleeping anymore. It's overrated anyway.

She had given him a customized version of photosynthesis. Which will allow his body to gather, store and convert various nutrients in the air using sunlight to fuel the process, that would work to recover his body at night and supply him energy to continue to work normally. He would never notice any physical differences in the day. He would never need to sleep again, and would find he would never get sleepy either.

Helena showed up as they were talking, pulling behind her a huge floating net filled with the strange wolf things she had issues with earlier. She was puzzled as to why all of them were dead, most of them flattened, some burnt and others just mysteriously dead.

Helena: I wasn't sure if we would need them or not, but I guess we can make clothes or something. Kinda sad seeing them like this. But their bites are so painful, I don't feel too bad. They would have eaten me alive if not for.... Huh... what did happen to them.... Hey, who's she?

She could swear she saw her somewhere before.

Sonata thought about his question.

~Sonata~
Hmm. Something about tacos.

She tilted her head to the side.

~Sonata~
Something about a really big taco i'm sure.

She tried to remember, but was distracted by the idea of plaid panties. That made her laugh. Her train of thought was now lost as she went into what would be an all day daydream unless interrupted.

Sonata looked surprised suddenly.

~Sonata~
That's It! Training! Silly me, that had nothing to do with tacos at all.

She raised her majestic sword.

~Sonata~
You've been quiet since we got here swordy. What gives?

She recklessly swung around Excalibur.

Sonata for a moment, snapped when the sword was knocked from her head. Helios would feel his danger senses go absolutely nuts, forcing him to duck a swing aimed to rip his head off. After that she paused confused.

~Sonata~
What just happened?

She wondered what even happened to Excalibur.

Sonata's invisible watch began ringing loudly.

~Sonata~
Oops! Time to go.

She searched the ground nearby until she found a secret passage to Oblivion. This area was a place she had never been before. Once she entered, one could feel an enormous pressure generating from it before it closed.

Helena inspected the ground where the odd girl fell in and found nothing out of the ordinary.

Helena: Are you sure it's a good idea? I mean, I'm not opposed to a game, but we still have so much to do. And burning through energy before we get food is.....wait... are you alright? I never knew you had any interest in anything involving movement.

She checked him for a fever.

Helena thought of a solution.

Helena: For now, do you want me to try a sleep spell?

She wasn't aware but, Helena casting a sleep spell, if she did it right, could kill someone.

A loud crunching sound was heard followed by a cold wet finger entering Helena's ear. While it seemed like a harmless joke, she actually paralyzed Helena temporarily.

>oo<
Hey Vale, ever ate a human before? Barbecue only, trust me.

Agrias and Vale had only been in for an hour, yet she was already set to go cannibal. They hadn't even tried hunting anything yet.

Agrias munched on her chips, showing no effort to make a move one way or another.

>oo<
I heal faster than I can chew, so gnawing off my leg is a no go. I tried. You mentioned her not being on a menu, that means you have a menu. So I want one of everything on the menu. Unless it's small portions. If so i'll take half of the inventory.

Agrias yawned loudly, starting a yawning fit among everyone who heard her yawn.

Agrias stared blankly at him while eating her chips.

>oo<
So you're saying you don't have food correct?

Agrias started preparing some bbq supplies.

Agrias looked back at Vale.

>oo<
I think this kid just made a pass at me. And he wants me to bite him for some reason. What the hell is wrong with kids today?

Agrias asked him because she thought all kids were from hell.
