"Down here—get in the sewer!" Emma's voice is sharp, urgent. She doesn't hesitate.
But Ethan doesn't move.
She looks up—and sees him. Blood drips from his nose. His fists slam into an atom, beating him into the ground.
"You thought you could take my life from me!" Ethan's voice cracks, trembling with fury.
The atom gasps, hands raised, graveling on the ground. "I—I don't know what you're talking about!" His voice is fragile, breaking under the weight of Ethan's rage.
Ethan's glare burns through him."So you don't remember hiring the masked guy to kill me and my family? Jake—huh?!"
His head feels like it's about to explode, pulses hammering behind his skull.
"I—I swear, I don't know! My name is Wyatt!" The atom sobs, voice shaking.
Emma grabs Ethan's shoulder. "Ethan."
His breath stalls.
Wyatt.
Not Jake.
The world flickers—just for a moment. And in that instant, he sees something else, something that shouldn't be there.
Jake.
Watching.
His chest tightens. The weight presses down—but Emma's voice cuts through the haze.
"What's going on?! We don't have time for disputes!"
Ethan exhales sharply, pulling away."You're right. Let's go."
He heads for the sewer—but even as he runs, he swears he still feels eyes on him.
"Sorry. That guy reminded me of someone." His voice is quieter now, strained.
Emma glances at him. "Did he remind you of your killer?"
Ethan's jaw tightens. "Yeah. But let's not worry about me. Let's get out of this town."
Emma hesitates, watching him. "Okay… if you say so."
They say as they leave through the sewer, Wyatt starts laughing when Emma Ethan are no longer visible "I can't believe he thought I was jake" Wyatt jolts up with his laughing now inhuman as his joints twisting in unnatural ways as his eyes roll to the back of his head as his eye sockets start bleed then a few seconds later is whole body crumble into a ball exploding
The scene shifts to a dark fiery world "I've got to play with this" Devil says excitedly
As Ethan gains EXP from the now dead Wyatt
"Emma What is the evolution button" Ethan says with curiosity
"It lets you evolve into a higher species but that's all I know" Emma says with honesty
"Why do you ask" Emma questions
Well right her on the window it says I can evolve" Ethan says his mind imagining what it would be like to evolve
"What how is that possible to evolve you need to kill at least 11 Atoms it took me four months to get that many
"So you are able to evolve too, so why don't we evolve together" Ethan asks
"I guess we can, By evolving we could get away from the atoms changing" Emma says a bit hesitant but decided on it, As Ethan presses the button, he doesn't know whether to feel fear or excitement, relief or dread. No—he was exhilarated. As soon as they touched the button both of the started pulsing Blue as the light got brighter both Ethan and Emma couldn't see until Ethan woke up to being a lower spirit or spirit orb and he saw that he was in a cage with Emma
