"Whoa-", was all A6d could say

When they finally reunited, the duo decided to rest and not do much. Bad was exhausted and A6d could finally feel relieved after knowing his friends where alright

The next day though, the two talked for hours about everything that had happened since they separated. A6d told Bad about the difference of time between the two dimensions and his encounter with Dream, while the other talked about the whole battle, Skeppy being withered, and Finn

After mentioning this last one, the french man turned around to spot him on a chair, looking at them while they talked. He seemed a bit distracted, but still smiled when he realized he was being watched

"I just want to give you some space, don't mind me", was the excuse he would give every time they stopped to check on him

Finishing the conversation, the duo stayed in silence. Both had to assimilate the other's story

On one hand, Bad know understood why A6d was so worried. For him, it had been around 2 weeks since they disappeared in the Nether, while for Bad it felt almost like 2 days

On the other hand, A6d didn't realize how close he was on losing one of his friends till now. Even if Skeppy was alive, he felt his chest filled with guilt, as he could have probably gone back to the portal and helped on the situation rather than roam around the village

Shaking his head, he tried his best to get rid of those thoughts. There was no point in thinking about what could have happened

He got up and opened the door. "Hey Bad, now that we are together, why don't we practice some fighting?"

"That's a very good idea", Finn interrupted. Both heroes turned to look at him, with surprised looks. "What if you two fight against me?"

He didn't have to ask twice

The three got out of the village house and walked to an open space. If the golem saw them fighting, it would probably join and that would end up with one of them getting killed, if not all three of them-

Finn was leading the way and finally stopped at the beginning of one of the forests around the village. The place was like a normal valley but had some big rocks peeking out of the ground

"Ready?"

A6d was the first one to move, lifting one of the rocks from around and placing it in front of him. During his time alone, he practiced different strats against various enemies and finally concluded that it was better to be defensive until he knew what type of opponent he had in front of him

Meanwhile, Bbh charged his bow and shot against Finn, who dodged the attack without much problem. He had already seen how fast the hybrid was, but still had the hope one of those muffins could hit him snd slow him down

He prepared another muffin, this time aiming to the floor below his opponent. The honey muffin exploded where he wanted and slowed down Finn for a bit. What he didn't expect though, was that he would stay completely still, energy surrounding him

"uH, A6d?", he nervously called for his friend

The other was just focussed on the next move the hybrid would do

After a few seconds, the energy surrounding Finn disappeared and he prepared to attack

Taking his katana, he targeted A6d at incredible speed, while the other barely blocked the attacks with his gun. Even if it couldn't deal much damage, it could still resist some few hits from a sword
