Since the monster was so distracted with Yoh and Faust, it had bent over slightly. Although it was not much, Isaac believed he could make the shot.
"Got it!"
With that, Isaac sprinted forward and with the momentum and speed, managed to jump fairly high into the air, just high enough for him to plung his knife into monster's mask with his arms fully outstretched. He hung there for a moment, as the small but very durable blade slowly cut downwards due to Isaac's weight. The knife finally cut through, shattering the mask in the process. Isaac landed fairly smoothly, only once he stood up, he staggered a bit. He walked away from the disintegrating corpse and smiled.
"Looks like we got it. How are you doing Faust? Not hurt I hope. It looks as if you were right about the mask. How did you know that? Just a lucky guess?"
He looked at the others and smiled once more.
"So, umm, what should we do now? That was a nice distraction but we need to attend to the problem at hand."
Isaac put away his knife and crossed his arms in contemplation.

“We could try to find a way out without getting killed,” Minori suggested, stating the obvious. She was more than slightly embarrassed that she hadn’t been able to do anything in the fight, like a fly trying to annoy a hippo. Quite literally actually, she had skated in a small circle around the creature but was still unable to distract it or help at all.
Blushing profusely at her own lack of ideas she offered,” Well, we should stick together with safety in numbers of course. Besides that we need to figure out how long we’ve been in here, we wont last long if we’ve had an extended time without food or water. One more idea, we could also make a map if anyone has anything we could write on. There’s no use to be wandering around in circles.”

Isaac smiled at Minori.
"I second that. Safety in numbers is an excellent idea."
Isaac looked around and then it hit him.
"Wait, I purpose we go through whatever that thing came through. If it got in here, then it must have been able to get out right? Plus that thing was really big and I doubt there will be anything more like that, maybe something smaller, but if we can take down this one, we can surely take down the small fry. It's not like we can go anywhere else anyways."
Isaac was confident with his suggestion. It was the most logical thing to do so why not? Isaac's parents had always stressed the importance of acting on logic, so he considered himself pretty good at doing so.

"eh, I've had worse" Faust replied, Dusting himself off."plus, wow, I was just guessing, since it was the only part that didn't try to attack us, I thought it would be a weak point. As for the safety in numbers bit, I agree." after hearing Issac's idea, he Smiled. "makes sense to me, Lets go!" He said happily, then he bowed. "oh, and by the way, thank you guys. without you all, I'd be a goner."

Minori began to roll toward the wall that the creature appeared to have come from before turning sharply to face the others.
"Oh I'm sorry; all you got for an introduction was a hurried shout. Ok, so my name's Minori Kanai. Nice to meet you Isaac-kun, Yoh-san, ummm... Faust-kun?"
She bowed awkwardly, mimicking the mastermind whose name she was still unsure of, because she didn't know if it was impolite not to bow. She was actually rather impressed with the all of their quick thinking under pressure.
"So, I hope you're right about that one being big. Even one of those things was quite a bit of trouble."

Faust smiled. "Right. Nice to meet you Minori-san. As for the monster, yeah, me too...." He began to think again, resting his hand on his chin. "anyways, good job team. If another one comes, I'm sure we can take it. although...It'd be a lot easier if we had some better weapons. Or rather, If I at least had A weapon." he began to look around for something he could use.

Yoh made a sigh of relief after the monster had been cast down. "Hmm...numbers...small fry...sounds fun!" Yoh smiled. She then spotted something familiar in the distance, where the monster supposedly came through. Her stuffed bunny! "There you are!!!!" She rushed towards the plaything without hesitation.

"Yoh, wait! That's where the monster came from, we should go as a group!"
Minori knew that she was probably being too cautious, but she couldn't shake a feeling of foreboding as she looked at Yoh's back. She scanned the ground near her feet for a weapon. Finding none she turned back to Faust and Isaac.
"I don't think that there's anything right around here. Don't you think that we should follow Yoh? We might even find a weapon on the way there."
Without waiting for a reply she moved forward at a pace that the other two could keep up with. For the past few seconds she had been hearing a hollow breathing sound. It was like wind blowing over the top of a half-full bottle.

A little anxious, Faust darted over towards Yoh, concerned for her safety. If something was to happen, it would be better to be closer than farther away. He slowed down when he caught up, Yoh being within grabbing distance if necessary. He turned to see Minori and Issac standing beside him as well.

As everyone marched on ahead, Isaac enjoyed the sight of these people socializing together. He never had many friends in school since he was labelled the foreigner and by the time everyone was comfortable with him, he had moved and yet again become the foreigner. With a small grin on his face, Isaac ran to catch up with everyone. Hearing Minori's introduction, Isaac quickly replied.
"Nice to meet you Minori. i'm glad we can all travel together. Well then, now that we are all together, that thing has been slain, and we have found Yoh's stuffed animal, I say we proceed and get the hell out of here."
As Isaac stepped forward, he looked at the massive door through which the monster had travelled though in awe. It was as tall as some of his houses. There was also an incredibly thick black fog of some sort separating the area they were in with they area in front of them. Regardless, Isaac bravely, or foolishly, stepped though. Once he had fully passed the surprisingly thin layer of fog, Isaac was taken aback by what he saw. It was a forest, only the colours seemed off. it was as if everything was in negative colour. But to his surprise, Isaac was not negative in colour, only the surroundings. His mouth fell open in astonishment at the eerie beauty of it all.

Faust saw the stuffed rabbit and asked Yoh "Is this the important thing you were talking about?" In a kind tone. He smiled. "It's pretty cute" Faust then heard Issac, and nodded, procceding forward. When he got to the forest beside Issac, his eyes widened. "Wh-what the....What happened to the colors? Did my eyesight go bad?" He turned to see Issac, normally colored. It must be part of this world he thought, then turning to Issac. "So, What now Issac-kun?" Faust added, a little apprehensive.

Minori quickly followed after Faust and Isaac, incredibly curious as to where such an impressive door might lead to. Slowly, for once, she came up behind the two of them in awe and declared," Looks like someone messed this place up in Photoshop. I mean, what's with these weird colors?" It was a feeble attempt to lighten the anxiety that she assumed that everyone was feeling. On a more serious note she turned to Faust and offered," This is a forest, right? I'm sure that there's a branch or something that you can hit stuff with."

Parisu who had not participated in the battle was now trying to get close to them he tapped Faust's shoulder trying to grab his attention.
"Uhm, hey. I guess you guys didnt see me before. I... I am sorry I saw you fighting that thing but I hurt myself when fending from one of those I found on my own."
Parisu bowed at them and replied.
"My name is Parisu Seigi and, I am sorry i couldnt help you before."

Faust had turned when his shoulder was tapped, expecting Minori or Yoh, but instead saw Parisu. Before he had asked, the boy had introduced himself and apologized to them. "Oh, It's okay Seigi-kun, I understand." Faust started. "Where are you hurt? Hope it wasn't somewhere serious. Oh, by the way, my name's Faust Tsuchiko." He bowed as he introduced himself. "oh, just wondering, do you have anything you could use as a weapon on you? I'd like to know in case we run across another of those things." A fifth person. How many people are here? Faust thought to himself.

Isaac laughed out loud at the image of Faust beating something with a branch that Minori had suggested.
"You know, if there are trees maybe there is an axe."
Laughing a bit more, Isaac was hiding his anxiety of this situation. Why the hell was there a forest here? And where the hell is here anyways? No matter, when Isaac turned to Faust he notice Parisu who he had seen earlier. He looked a bit perplexed at first but Isaac shook it off and stepped to introduce himself.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Isaac. So from the looks of it, you don't seem too beaten up. That's good."
Suddenly a voice echoed in Isaac's head.
"Thou art I..."
The voice seemed to generate immense pain. Isaac cringed under it and grabbed his head. Slowly it faded and Isaac regained his composure. His cheerful disposition had diminished and had been replaced by a serious mood.
"I-I think we should keep moving. Maybe we can get out of here if we cross this forest."
Isaac looked around and spotted a path which penetrated the wall of trees. He walked towards it.
