Raiden was caught in his own daze, barely catching a break from what just happened as Nico dragged him through the scorching desert. Something nagged at him about that voice. Why did it sound so familiar?
They were barely outside MK's detection range. Even the slightest movement from him would give him a glimpse of their activities. And yet they still intended to avoid this desert completely.
However, before they could get any further, something else caught Nico's attention. He halted on his feet, prompting Raiden to do the same, snapping him from his daze.
Nico's hand trembled as he motioned in the distance. "More… more are coming."
Confused, Raiden turned to follow its path, then gulped hard. Sweat beaded on his forehead as he saw four figures approaching. One radiated such an overwhelming dark aura that it made the others' presence hardly noticeable.
Yet, just like his encounter with MK, his danger detection was dormant.
