A loud Kra-Ka-Koooom can be heard as the portal opens. Both Jack and Butch come flying out of the portal hitting the ground kicking up a cloud of dust. Butch is the first one to his feet as he tries to run back through the portal. As he approaches the portal he jumps at it, only for it to slam shut leaving him to face plant catching a heaping helping of dirt. He sits up quickly and spins his head around as if he's in disbelief that the portal disappeared. Butch tries to pinch himself hoping that this all a dream. When he realizes that it's not he goes into a nervous panic. Spouting off any and everything that comes to mind.
"Dude what are we gonna do? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?! We're going to die here, where ever here is. Oh lord there goes my scholarships." Butch's eyes go wide as a certain fear pops into his head. A fear that he shares with every prepubescent boy around the world. In a sad shaky voice he manages to say "Oh lord-I'm going to die a virgin."
As Butch panics Jack looks around and surveys the surrounding land. As he takes in the landscape all he can see is death and destruction. The portal seemingly dropped the boys at the entrance to a old, destroyed, and abandoned town. It looks to be from medieval times from the looks of the houses. Well, what's left of them anyway. Jack walks through it and can't help but draw similarities to the after math of a nuclear bomb explosion. Charred rubble covers the ground, few to no houses are left standing. Those that do are on their last legs and has the structural integrity of a leaning jenga tower. Jack begins to sift through the rubble in hopes of finding a clue to what may have caused this. As he sifts through he jumps back in shear shock and terror of what he unearthed. Jack covers his nose as a putrid smell makes it's way in to his nostrils. As he turns away in disgust Butch walks up behind having calmed down from his panic induced state. As he gets closer the smell hits him as well and covers his nose quickly, but not quick enough.
"What the hell is that smell Daniells?? Did you have taco bell before going to the arcade or something?"
The two turn and face the source of the of the rancid odor. Both their eyes go wide as they gaze upon a most unholy sight. Before them lays a rotten, maggot filled, mostly decomposed corpse. The two look at each other uncertain of what to do next. After a few minutes of thinking both give in to curiosity and unearth the rest of the body. What they originally thought was just one person turned out to be an entire family.
"Such a shame isn't it?" A sympathetic female voice calls out from behind the 2. "The way they died was so tragic." A cloud of smoke starts to form behind the two atop the rubble as the voice continues to talk. "They thought that if they held each other and prayed for a savior that one would come." The smoke starts to rise and take form, giving shape to a hooded figure. "They should have evacuated like all the others but, they let their attachment to this place cloud their reasoning. Which, as you can tell, lead to their collective demise. Oh well, the strong will live and the weak will die I suppose."
Butch looks at her with a look of disbelief. He wonders how can someone not be phased after looking at something so saddening. As for Jack, he is staring at the ground, his fist in balls gritting his teeth.
"These were innocent people, they didn't deserve to die like this." A deep red crimson aura starts to emit from Jack as he gets angrier. "They don't deserve," his head shoots up his eyes glowing red " TO BE TALKED ABOUT LIKE THAT!"
Jack lunges at the women with ferocious speed. The woman doesn't seemed to be phased as she turns part of her body to smoke as Jack gets closer. In the blink of an eye jack disappears from her view to the shock of the woman. Before she can register what happened Jack appears above her and lands a solid kick to the jaw that send her flying at least 10 feet away. Butch watches on in awe as Jack lands and the red glow fades.
