As the group was laughing and talking about their lives, a loud roar was heard and soon after that, the ground started shaking. The group looked around and pulled out their Telums.
Fidi: What the hell was that?
Volk: I feel like we're gonna find out soon...
Okami: Use your future vision.
Volk started concentrating.
Volk: Get ready cause all helheim will break loose.
Lykos: What does that mean?
Volk: More than 500 monstras are on their way to kill us.
Skylos: AYO, WHAT?
Sobaka: Shouldn't we run?
Volk: Can't, they'd catch up.
Sobaka: Let me guess, you tried in one of the futures.
Volk: Yep, it did not end well.
Lykos: Did you actually find a scenario where we live?
Volk: I was getting there, but I couldn't see any further, we had to fight a lot though.
Fidi: Well then, let's just make sure we're prepared. Any idea when they'll arrive?
Volk: In every future I was in, it was always the 1-hour mark
Fidi: Then let's take this hour to do anything we need to do...just in case.
Volk: Right...
Fidi: So, have you all named your Telums?
Okami: Huh?
Fidi: Have given a name to your Telum?
Volk: Why would we?
Fidi: I don't know, it was an idea Liontari gave us. I'm just passing it on to make a conversation.
Volk: What did you name yours?
Fidi: The Honest Wind.
Volk: I mean...I guess it's nice.
Fidi: Y'all should try it out.
Lykos, Okami, and Volk looked at their Telums.
Volk: I mean...how can I name a shield, armor, and a sledgehammer...
Sobaka: I mean, why not make it a reference to something you like?
Volk: Hmm, maybe your right...I got it, X-02.
Fidi: Sound nice, what about you Oka?
Okami: Hmm...something I like....oh, Star Diamond!
Skylos: That one sounds neat.
Alepou: What about you Ly?
Lykos looked up the sky and saw the moon in the sky. He always had a liking to how the moon looks.
Lykos: Hmm...Crescent Moon. If Artemis is really my mother then I'll pay homage to her with this.
Fidi: OH, I like that one a lot.
Kitsune: I just thought of something, give me a sec.
Volk: Before you go in there, here.
He has taken off his jacket and thrown it at her. She caught it in the air.
Volk: Leave it inside for me please.
Kitsune: Sure.
Kitsune grabbed Okami's hand and dragged him inside the house. Volk looked to see what the group was going to do to make sure that they were in the right future.
Skylos: Okay?
Alepou grabbed Lykos by the shoulder and dragged him inside the house as well.
Fidi: What's going on?
Volk: Give them some time, trust me.
Okami and Kitsune looked themselves up in a room while Lykos and Alepou just closed the door to the other room.
Lykos: Uhh, you okay Ale?
Alepou: Listen...whatever happens...just please protect yourself, don't prioritize me.
Lykos: I-
Alepou: If something happens to you because you tried defending me I will first, make sure you live, and second, make sure you don't ever want to try that again. I can protect myself.
Lykos: Okay, okay, jeez.
Alepou: YOU HEARD ME?!
Lykos: Yes! I did!
Alepou hugged Lykos.
Lykos: What's with this 180?
Alepou hugged him tighter.
Alepou: I don't want to lose you. I couldn't bear to lose you. You two are literally all I have left.
Lykos: Ale, the feelings mutual. That's why if you ever need help, I'm here.
Alepou moved back a bit and put her hand on Lykos' face.
Alepou: Just please make sure you live...
Lykos: I will, but you do the same...please.
Alepou nodded yes, and the two stared at each other for a few seconds. The two were face to face, they got lost in each other's eyes.
Lykos: If anything happens, I wanna tell you a few things though.
Alepou: Hmm?
Lykos: Ale, I wish I got to spend more time with you. Not here, just back home where we could be at peace. Just the two of us talking all day, playing games...just living. I hope that when this is over, we can have that peace.
Lykos hugged Alepou.
Alepou: I would love to do all that with you.
45 minutes passed, the two of them seemed calm. They laid down next to each other.
Alepou: Hey Ly....
Lykos: Hmm....
Alepou: We've....we've known each other for 13 years but for some reason when I first met you back in that village I felt like I knew you before.
Lykos: I had that same feeling, it was kind of weird.
From outside, Volk yelled out at them.
Volk: OKAMI, LYKOS GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE!
Lykos: Wonder if they're close.
Alepou smiled and grabbed Lykos' hand and walked outside the room next to him. They both saw that Okami and Kitsune unlocked the door and left the room.
Lykos: Y'all say your final goodbyes?
Okami: Shut up, let's kick ass.
The 4 of them went outside and saw a bunch of monstras in the distance.
Alepou: That sure is a lot...
Lykos: And so many different ones...
Volk: Yep, from gorgons to redcaps...the good thing is that they're weak since most of them are out of their element.
"If you want, I can have a go at them. This seems like fun." said Argos in Lykos' head.
Lykos: I can handle this myself, I don't need you.
"That's not what happened last time." said Argos. Lykos ignored the comment and started preparing.
Skylos: This is definitely going to be hard...hey wait, can't my clones use Telums?
Fidi: Can they?
Skylos: I mean, when Mirazh made all those clones around us, they seemed to all have his Telum.
Volk summoned his sledgehammer and gave it to Skylos.
Volk: Use it well, please. I'd be devastated if I lost it.
Skylos: I'll do my best.
Skylos created 2 clones, they both had the sledgehammer in their hands.
Fidi: So it does work. Why don't you try sending them over to the horde to see if they can do some damage before they get here?
Skylos made the clones run towards the horde, it took them 7 minutes to arrive at it. The clones started trying to fight everything around them. A clone slid under a monstra and slammed the sledgehammer down at it before being taken out by the one behind it. Another one threw the sledgehammer at a centaur's head, grabbed the weapon from the ground and swung to take down a faun and an undead.
Fidi: I definitely saw them take out some of them. Can you do it again?
Skylos tried sending out 2 more clones but couldn't.
Skylos: I guess it takes time for them to reappear...
Volk: That's fine, rest for now, so you can help later.
The group waited for 6 minutes and decided to get up to fight.
Volk: Let's not let them get any closer.
Sobaka: I'm guessing we'll support you however we can.
Volk: Yep.
Kitsune grabbed Okami's arm.
Kitsune: After this, we're one step closer to avenging Inu. Please kill them all.
Okami: Don't you worry Kit, I'll make sure no one knows about their existence.
Okami smiled.
Okami: After all, who the hell does she think we are? We have our Telums for a reason.
Volk pulled out a gun from under his trench coat.
Sobaka: Ayo, what the hell? Since when do you have a gun?
Volk: Listen, I'm always strapped.
Sobaka: That doesn't answer the question. SINCE WHEN. DO YOU. HAVE. A GUN?!
Volk: Since we left the city, didn't I tell you that I'm never gonna get caught lacking?
Sobaka: I thought you meant you were paying attention to your surroundings, not that you had A FUCKING GUN!
Volk: Relax, I only have this for emergencies because I only had a few bullets.
Okami: Couldn't you have used it before?
Volk: Nope, it's gonna help us now.
Alepou: This motherfucker really had a gun this whole time...
