Battler's POV:

I was hanging out with my sister Thea until she spotted her friends from afar, she then looked at me as I nodded in approval, signalling that we can part ways from here, she then hugged me tight and ran off with her friends. I didn't mind being alone as I preferred seeing my sister have fun and be happy, that's what siblings are for right? I was about to take my leave as I heard a familiar voice yell my name from behind me.

"BATTLER!"

I turned around to notice a familiar bacon hair sitting beside another guy wearing a tiger hat. This day just got crazy... never did I expect to see 2 sweaty jailbreak tryhards who were both known to be rivals of each other, sitting beside each other for what seemed like a picnic with a few friends 'playfully' attacking each other in the background. Myusernamesthis and Kreekcraft. I'm assuming the other two were NapkinNate and Straw. Both Kreek and User sprinted at me which kind of scared me as I found tryhards like them quite imitating. I stood there, stunned until we were face to face with each other. I stared at them with confusion but I felt delighted to see some familiar faces for once.

I slowly approached them.

"Kreek, User, nice to see you guys again, what brings you guys here?" I happily asked.

"Oh, me and User are doing well! We were just having a picnic with Napkin and Straw! How about you?" Kreek responded.

"Nice to know you guys are well, I was just walking with my sister until we separate ways."

"YOU HAVE A SISTER? SINCE WHEN!?" Kreek exclaimed as User's eyes widened in shock and possibly confusion.

"Yeah, didn't I tell you guys before in the RB Battles lobby...?" I answered.

Kreek and User turned to stare at each other until they both suddenly remembered as they both replied with an "Ohh yeah" in sync.

"Anyway, is there anything you guys need?" I questioned, wondering why they called me over, was it to hang out or did something happen that I needed to be notified about.

Kreek and User looked at eachother, signalling one of them to speak. Kreek sighed and began to speak.

"It's quite complicated and it's very secretive, mind if I add you to the group on discord?"

"Yeah, of course, I don't mind!" I replied, taking my phone out of my pocket as I opened discord. Kreek took his phone out and a few minutes later, I received the invitation link.

"Thanks, just chat to me later when you have to, have a great day with your friends!" I said before leaving them both behind. Both Kreek and User responded by saying goodbye from afar as they both waved at me. I then shifted my gaze towards my phone as I decided to check on my messages. Huh? A notification from Sabrina.

Oh that's nice of him to tell you! Yeah I was notified you needed some assistance, What can I help you with?

💜:
Well, let me explain everything real quick... get comfortable because this will take long.

I wasn't quite home yet so while Sabrina was typing I decided to enter a cafe that was located near me. I got in, ordered a coffee and picked a table that was somewhere near the corner. I sat down, waited for my coffee to arrive until it did. It's been a few minutes and I was wondering, how long is this going to take? I took a sip of my coffee but when she finally sent a really long summary, my mouth nearly spit out the coffee. I calmed down and began scrolling down the texts, filling my mind with the information that was given to me. Some serious things have happened to them which left me sorrowful and upset but she also mentioned some nice things they did which calmed me down a little. I texted her back, letting her know that I was informed with all the knowledge about the situation and that I could volunteer to help with the plan, she mentioned not telling Russo and gave an explanation to why as I understood their reasons. I decided to take a break and placed my phone down on the table as I took one last sip of my drink before zoning outside the window, admiring the beautiful blue skies and the majestic, fluffy clouds. I wonder what the others are up to.

DJ's POV:

I looked up at Sabrina, making sure she was feeling okay after explaining everything to Battler which she nodded in response, I hope they don't take it in too much. Sabrina looked guilty as I questioned her why she was feeling that way. Her reason was that she felt bad she couldn't trust Russo due to suspicious activity and circumstance which I agreed on, until there's a way to help him then we must remain silent and act as if we're oblivious. I pulled Sabrina in a hug as she gently laid her head on my shoulder, how cute! I heard a knock on the door, it must be Russo. I pulled away from the hug and walked up to the door, I unlocked it and saw Russo joyfully looking at me. I gave him a confused look before he spoke.

"Hey DJ! Is Sabrina here with you?"

"Yeah she's just resting, why?"

"Perfect! I was thinking we go ask Mr.Boringsworth to make us special jewellery to protect us from JP."

"I'm sorry but... who's JP?"

That was the moment when Russo realised he really slipped up.

"The scary figure?"

"How do you know their name?"

"I got a message from them and they told me their name!"

"Alright Russo... thanks!"

We both sat down on the couch and he started discussing our plans, I sense suspicion from Russo, does he know..?

Sketch's POV:

Man I wish I could've won,. atleast the semifinals or so, why do I suck at videogames 😤.

"Yo Sketch you good?"

I looked up to see User standing there with concern.

"Yeah I'm just thinking about something"

"If it's not too personal, can I ask what's on your mind?"

"I wish I was good at video games like I really suck don't I?"

"HEY! Don't think stuff like that, look at me I'm more embarrassing, you heard didn't ya?"

"Yeah I guess you're right, though atleast you're still skilled"

"Listen, don't tell Kreek I told ya but he said you're one of his favourite YouTubers if not his number 1 favourite because of how entertaining and funny you are, I can't disagree you are fun to talk to, so stop being sad it doesn't suit ya!"

With that said, I felt a bit more relieved if not happier to know people find me entertaining. Both me and User chatted for awile until we heard the door bang wide open. We turned around confused as we noticed a panicked Tofuu panting at the door, he looked a bit beaten up. User and I immediately stood up.

"TOFUU WHAT'S WRONG!? YOU OKAY!?" I yelled in concern.

"GUYS RUN, GET EVERYONE OUT OF HERE THEY'RE HERE, THEY TOOK SUB AND MIKEY!"

User grabbed my hand and spirited away as Tofuu followed behind, we have to warn the others.

"BROTHER!!!"

That voice.. BANDI!?

I turned around in a panic as my heart stopped in the sight I was seeing. I stopped as I tried running towards Bandi but both User and Tofuu tried stopping me. I saw Bandi holding on the wall as a large hand was wrapped around his waist, trying to pull him in the unknown void.

"SKETCH YOU CAN'T GO THERE IT'S TOO DANGEROUS!!!" Yelled Tofuu.

"LET ME GO, I HAVE TO SAVE HIM HE'S MY BROTHER PLEASE, HE'S MY FAMILY I CAN'T LET HIM GO!"

Bandi looked at me in the eyes as I saw a warm yet sad smile plastered on his beaten up face.

"TAKE CARE OF MY BROTHER FOR ME, TAKE HIM AND RUN MAKE SURE HE'S SAFE OR I'LL KILL YA BOTH!!!" Bandi yelled as User and Tofuu nodded, I felt tears form in my eyes as my vision became a blur, my mind filled with nothing but sadness and frustration but most of all worry.

"Farewell bro, I love you..." and with that he shut his eyes as the hand dragged him in the void, I screamed in agony refusing to let this happen but due to User and Tofuu being stronger than me they dragged me away.

As soon as we got in a safe place they locked the doors and set me aside the corner. I took a quick glance at Tofuu grabbing his phone and desperately trying to call for help as User decided to leave me some space, although I could tell he looked rather worried about me. I hurdled into a ball and tucked my face into my arms as I cried in sorrow, I felt so angry, why am I so weak!? Why him.. why not me? I lost.. my brother.. my only one...

I have to save him. I HAVE TO FIND HIM. NOW I WILL DEFINITELY PROTECT MY FRIENDS, I WON'T LET ANYONE ELSE TAKE THEM LIKE HOW THEY TOOK BANDI!!!

...

Brianna's POV:

I got up from Preston's lap as I heard my phone ringing. I checked my notifications to see 1 missed call from him. I decided to call him back.

"Hello? Tofuu do you need somethi-"

"LISTEN BRI I HAVE NO TIME BUT JP IS AFTER US! ME, USER AND SKETCH HAVE ESCAPED BUT JP ALREADY KIDNAPPED BANDI, MIKEY AND SUB AND WE NEED TO WARN THE OTHERS, YOU HAVE TO RU-"

...

"Hello!? TOFUU!? Dang it he got cut off.."

"Bri we have to get the others but first we need to find them... I'll go and you get the others I want you to be safe.." Preston whispered.

I turned to him in worry, "I can handle myself please let me come with you!"
"Someone needs to get the others just please Bri.. for me?"

I paused, thought and tried to convince myself that he'll be safe, he's strong! But what if things went wrong?

I nodded a yes in response, reluctantly agreeing to his idea because one of us had to warn the others. I quickly gave him a big, warm hug and squeezed him tight until he whispered that I was already choking him by accident. Before I ran out the door, I kissed his cheek and bid him farewell.

If something happens to him, that JP person will be shown no mercy.

Why is this happening now...?
