601 Chaos

Traversing the sky with the swiftness of a shooting star, Jake chased the clock in the uncertain hope that Will's message was just a mistake, a nightmare stemming from his imagination.

At this speed, the sound waves generated by his flight could be heard for miles around. He was no longer pretending to hide.

On the plus side, it only took him about ten seconds to get to the supposed battle zone from which Will's cry had been heard.

When he got there, his eyes fell first on the huge central volcano towering over them, then on the battlefield below, witnessing unprecedented chaos and carnage.

Hundreds of Evolvers, creatures, and Digestors of all races and origins were fighting to the death against their sworn enemies, but unnervingly they were mostly murdering one another among their own allies.
