Ashton didn't care about Matt as he again lunged, and this time with his knife, pierced the ant's abdomen.

It was the most fragile part of the ant that he could see in front of him, so without thinking, he continuously pierced it, again and again and again.

"SHREKKKKKKKKK." The ant cried in pain as it ruthlessly smashed its two fists at Ashton.

And Ashton, who was in a rage pummeling the ant with his knife, was hit on his chest and flew back, falling on the ground, but he didn't care as he again stood up and continued where he left off.

Matt looked at the entire scene in shock, his legs were shaking, but he took a deep breath and ran to help Ashton.

Ashton and the Ant were now nearly brawling.

Ashton pierced the knife three times and got hit on the face or his shoulder one time.

A blow for blow.

As they just hit and hit.

Matt who finally came to help Ashton targeted the ant's weak points. He directly slashed the ant's antennae and cut it into two.

Ant paused and Ashton didn't let such a good chance pass by and ruthlessly drilled the ant's eyes, as deeply as he could.

"SHREKKKKKKK." Again, the ant cried but this time its cry was so loud that it nearly made Ashton and Matt's ears numb.

It cried again and again but slowly-slowly its shrieks turned into whimpers and then it stopped moving.

Ashton and Matt just looked at the scene and then with a thud, Ashton fell onto the ground.

"ASHHHHHHHH!!!" Matt yelled frightened.

"I-I am ok," Ashton whispered as he slowly closed his eyes.

Matt didn't believe him as he worriedly came and saw Ashton lying with his eyes closed.

Ashton's left eye was now entirely black, his nose cracked, lips ripped, while blood was coming out of his mouth.

"A-Ash," Matt whispered as he slowly sat beside Ashton, tears falling down from his eyes.

Ashton opened his right eye and saw Matt crying and chuckled, "Ugly. How can a cute kid like you become this ugly when you cry ahhhhhhhh."

Matt wiped his tears and punched Ashton instinctively and when he heard Ashton's cry in pain, he again started crying.

Ashton bit his lips, slowly sat, and hugged Matt tightly as he whispered, "Hey, hey, hey, it's alright, Matty. I am fine. Look. It doesn't hurt that much. Just a little rest and I'll be fine."

Matt hurriedly nodded his head, and wiped his tears off, as he tightly hugged Ashton, not letting go of him even for a second.

He knew Ashton was lying, but he still chose to believe him. What else could he do? They needed to get out of here and find a safe place, crying and weeping would only get them killed.

And there was no way he would let something like that happen to any of them.

As he slowly lifted his face and looked at the carcass of the ant and saw something brightly lightening and asked curiously, "What is that?"

Ashton looked at the shining thing, picked it up, and replied, "It's a card. It says crush it." So, he, without thinking like a good boy, crushed it.

"Waiittttttttttt!!!" Matt yelled but was still late when he saw Ashton crushing the card foolishly.

"Eh? Oh! Sorry. I crushed it. You wanted it." Ashton asked dumbly.

"FOOL! IT SAYS CRUSH IT AND YOU REALLY CRUSHED IT!! WHAT IF IT'S A TRAP???!!!" Matt whispery yelled with all his might. How the hell could this moron believe just anyone or anything?

The world was not the same as before. It had changed. Everything had changed.

Ashton spoke as he rubbed his ear, "No, It's not. W-Wait. Something's wrong with my body Matty! I feel like vomiting suddenly. Uwakkkkkkkk." As he puked continuously without stopping.

Matt just looked at Ashton unamused and rubbed his back, "Told you to listen to me."

Ashton, on the other hand, felt his head spinning, and then lifelessly he fell to the ground.

Matt panicked when he saw Ashton falling but became dumbstruck when he saw Ashton's body changing, and within a second in front of him was an ironed Ashton.

Ashton suddenly felt his body becoming heavier as an indescribable aura raised from within him, covering him gently, which made him relax, and he loved it.

It was so gentle, and he felt protected somehow.

Matt dumbly looked at the moron, who was smiling without any care in the world and was ready to doze off, and without thinking, he kicked him like always and then yelped in pain, "Ahhhhhhhh. My leg. Fuck! It hurts, damn it!!"

"WHAT HAPPENED MATTY!!!" Ashton asked worriedly as he stood up.

"N-N-Nothing. I just kicked you. And you were ironed, so I hurt myself. Ironed. Ironed. IRONED. FUCK!!! YOU YOU YOU!!!" Matt yelled as he pointed at Ashton, looking at him up and down still not believing what his eyes were seeing.

Ashton curiously looked at himself and became dumbstruck and screamed, "Ahhhhhhhhh my body. MATTY MY BODY! WHAT HAPPENED TO ME? WHAT HAPPENED TO ME? WHAT HAPPENED TO ME???!!!"

"How the hell would I know and stop screaming," Matt whispered and again got ready to kick but when he remembered the pain he felt previously, he just gulped and stressedly took his kick back.

Ashton nodded his head and then paused when an immense amount of information continuously poured inside his mind, and then he saw a window pop up in front of him.
