-----
Hercule and Diana were still on the run from Xilonen and her group of tree's that continued to increase in every minute.
Hercule was panting but despite how sweaty he was from all this running, he didn't look tired as he looked behind him, seeing all the tree's in the distance that were still after them.
"We managed to gain some distance but that girl won't let up!" Hercule said, looking at Diana.

Diana was still sending clouds of her aura at the trees, and presumably had been all this time.
She nodded, frowning. She wasn't panting, but strands of her hair were clinging to her face and she clearly looked like she was getting worn out.

Hercule seemed to notice that in the middle of their running.
"I can share with you some of my energy to keep you going." Hercule offered.

"Sure." Diana accepted his offer. "Going to need it."

Hercule aimed his hand towards her as it started to glow and sent bits of his own energy towards Diana, filling her up with some extra energy, she was certainly feeling a lot more fresh than a few minutes ago.

Diana clearly looked a lot less tired.
"Thanks." She said, continuing to run ahead, while still sending her aura at the trees behind them.

The three tree's that were behind them decayed long enough to turn into dust but the rest continued their pursuit.
"We should be getting closer to that bridge, just keep an eye out for Selene if she is nearby!" Hercule said.
At that moment, more branches extended out from both sides just in front of Hercule and Diana, blocking their path.
"Damnit, get out of the way!" Hercule shouted.
He slashed the branches to pieces with his sword before continuing to run.

Diana ducked and squeezed through the available area Hercule had made for her. The branches began rotting as soon as she ran past them.
"Ugh, just running isn't doing anything!" She exclaimed, stopping in her tracks for a moment and facing the direction they had been running from. Dust began floating off of her and coating the ground around her.

Hercule looked at Diana for a moment before turning around, seeing an exit to this section of the forest and a large bridge made out of metal built over one large gap leading to the other side.
“Hey, I can see the bridge from here, we may have a chance To get them off our backs from there!” Hercule suggested.
The tree’s who were marching forward stopped in their tracks as soon as Diana began covering the ground with her aura.

Diana's aura spread across the ground like a out of control fungus. The dust spread across it towards the trees at the speed of lightning as Diana stumbled slightly, the dust shot up from the ground and the aura struck them. It wasn't like there was any force behind it, but immediately they began to decay, bits of bark turning straight into dust before it could even decay, all over all of the trees with a accelerating pace.
Diana gritted her teeth, sending another blast of it at them to knock entire layers of bark off of the trees before moving again and heading after Hercule as fast as she could.

Most of the tree's were disintegrated by Diana's blast with only a few remaining, who ended up walking around the dust to avoid getting caught it in.
As soon as Hercule and Diana made it out of that section of the forest and running towards the bridge.
Two arrows, one covered in flames and the other with a green poisonous tip flew over the bridge and right to their heads.
"WATCH OUT!" Hercule warned, ducking his head down.
He avoided the flaming arrow which hit one of the tree's that made it out of the forest, setting it on fire and collapsed on the ground.

Diana threw herself to the side, avoiding the poisonous arrow that way. "Seriously!?" She asked, yelling in the direction the arrows came from.

"You should of listened to my warning!"
Hercule looked ahead, right past the bridge, leading to the other side, a pathway filled with dead reed's with a pool of dirty grey water coming from a waterfall with a fountain statue of Minkah in the center. Around the pool were a few undead Neonytes who were fighting against some robot spiders, one of them jumped onto a undead Neonyte, stabbing them before exploding on their body.
And on top of the statue's head was Kumo holding his bow, his bandage hanging on around his neck exposing the tiny six metal spider eyes, his hair was let down reaching his shoulders, the orb was tied to his back, a few cuts on his skin with a sewed up cut on his side and his metal spider legs were covered in green liquid, whatever that was. He was standing there, gritting his teeth.
"Kumo!" Hercule yelled out, standing up with clenched fists.
"Don't come any closer!" Kumo warned, putting arrows on his bow's string, not firing at them just yet.

Diana cringed slightly, looking at the sewn up cut on his side. "We can't get the orb without getting closer." She told him.

"And what makes you think I'll just hand it to you two? You two are just gonna drag more of those things to me, if you handed us the orbs just as I requested back on that water planet and din't destroy our ship, we wouldn't be here in this situation in the first place!" Kumo said.
"And let you use those orbs to erase us? You put yourself in this situation since the moment you and your crew entered in this Universe to find these orbs!" Hercule announced.
"I wanted to save my group from falling apart! When I got exiled by the people I once served, I was forced to fend for myself and live out in the wilderness with the animals, no one was willing to give me a second chance for a crime I was falsely accused of, no one except the members of my group who gave my a reason to continue on living, without them I would of never made it! If I lose now, I'll lose everything again to your group! You can't make it in this world by being alone, you need people to give you a reason to succeed, without anyone to give you a reason or a purpose for the things you do, then we are no better than these dead things who just keeping eating till their stomach's explode and wander around aimlessly with no goals or plans, if we fail to revive our group and you guys win, then none of this would of been worth it, do you understand?" Kumo asked.
