Chapter 10, Part 1: A Surprise. (REMAKE)

Start from the beginning
                                    

Cyan froze, holding himself. "I... I hope not... I thought it was all just a dumb dream, but now I'm a bit freaked out..."

"This guy sounds like a real jerk! We should search for him and teach him a lesson!" Gold suggested.

"We don't even know if he's real or not..." Jade said. "We don't even know where the Tree of Life actually is!"

"I think Cyan knows what he's talking about." Trian leaned on Cyan's shoulder. "I think we should go outside and find where the tree is."

"The last time we saw it, it was missing... only that hole was there..." Cube caressed her arm. "I can barely sense its energy..."

Cyan got up from his chair. "So, from what I've heard so far, there's corrupts roaming outside, and the guy behind all of this is either completely made up in my head or somewhere out there...?"

"Yeah, we ran into a few while looking for you guys..." Trian said. "They're nuts! They saw us and immediately started attacking us. No cool introductions or anything like that..."

Cube shivered. "Me and Cyan didn't see anything like that at all..."

"Well, we're all together now." Blixer leaned back. "I'm sure we can get through them while looking for the mastermind."

"Yeah, what Boss said!" Lycanthropy added. "Let's go!"

Everyone prepared themselves, then left the house to search for the Tree of Life.

The woods used to look as friendly and peaceful as the rest of Paradise, but now it was dark and dangerous.

Gold was walking along with Jade, holding their weapons; Cube was using the pure triangles on her head to try and detect the Tree of Life easier-Cyan and Trian were beside her, on guard; Blixer, Barracuda, and Lycanthropy were together, also searching.

"If anything bad happens, I'm blaming you..." Jade glared at Gold.

"Come on, we'll be fine!"

"Cyan's the strongest out of us heroes, yet he seems to be getting affected by all of this-and now you're making everyone split up?!"

Gold's friendly smile disappeared. "Are you gonna just complain all of your life or do something useful for once?!"

Jade flinched at the yelling, then sheepishly looked away. "Sorry..."

Gold was silent. Why did he have such an outburst?
It came out of nowhere, like words were being forced out of his throat...

They continued walking down one of the many paths of the corrupted forest.

They eventually stopped once they found something strange...
A monochrome circus.

"What the...?" Jade scratched his head. "I don't remember a circus being in Paradise..."

Deep growling was faintly heard behind them.

Gold took Jade's hand, panicking. "Let's go inside! Quickly!"

"Wait, wha-?!"

Without a second thought, Gold ran into the circus with a struggling Jade. The door closed behind them.

Jade pushed Gold away from him. "Gold, what the hell?!" He yelled at him.

"We were gonna get attacked again!" Gold yelled back.

They continued arguing until a third voice giggled, and they both froze.

"You two seem to be having fun..."
