Ross found himself on a path that was blocked on both fronts. If he hadn't been on guard the moment he appeared, he would have taken massive damage from the creatures and abilities flying around.

"Ugh..." He groaned in slight pain and annoyance, but quickly got back to his feet to avoid becoming collateral.

The number of abilities swirling about, along with the void creatures, was incredible.

"What the hell happened?" His gaze darted rapidly to take everything in.

The last thing he remembered was Julia calling out to Alex before he was engulfed in a much brighter light.

In the next moment, he was struck by earthen projectiles. His mind spun rapidly, assessing his predicament before reaching a conclusion.
