empty set, book 1, camp of cadavers

Theo gasped as he came back to, he just stared for a second. Not focusing on anything before looking at shun's right palm, and surely enough, it was a skull with six spider-like legs. "Man, everyone you meet reacts like this at first" the spider in shun's scarf spoke up, which made Orion jump

"Sadly that is true" shun spoke quietly.

"So, uhh, Orion. You definitely trust this guy, right?" The hesitation in theo's voice was evident.

"With my life!" "Shun is awesome!" Orion was not good at containing his excitement sometimes... Most of the time. "Then we should find Vincent and fira. Maybe even Octavia."

"But didn't you say Octavia was just like, the worst" Orion sounded the most confused he ever had

"Yes, but. We don't even know what this place is or how we got here" Theo sighed. But shun nodded in agreement and Orion reluctantly nodded too. Shun headed towards the forest, Orion headed towards the arcade section. So that only left the mall section for theo to go to. He quickly ran over, and just as quickly, he heard shouting. There were your classic high school delinquents, they looked like they were personified stereotypes. They were trying to get something from someone with ginger hair. That's all he could see. But fira was ginger, so he thought he might as well see if it were her.

"Come on, just give it to us and we'll leave you alone." One of the delinquents said, seemingly the leader.

"For now!" Another quipped. Theo walked slower, these kids were 1-3 years older than him. The leader looking one had a bat, and another was holding a brick.

"Yo, what's going on here?!" Theo tried to sound intimidating, but to people who had weapons, he probably wasn't. The leader turned around, he had the bat leaning on his shoulder.

"Oh, yous tryna join us or tryna be a hero?" "If the ladder, you're a fool" he sounded like okyossu.

"I wouldn't call myself a hero. More of a good friend" Theo again, tried to sound intimidating. He could see only the leader and the one with the brick had titan marks. The leader stepped up and took a swing at Theo with his bat, which landed squarely on his left cheek. His vision blurred for a second, he barley had time to dodge, if he hadn't moved at all it would have hit his temple. Theo shot back by sending a pebble flying at the leaders head with gravity. He swung at that and it curved mid air to hit theo in the chest. Knocking the air out of him. The brick guy threw his brick, which probably would have killed theo if he didn't act quickly. Changing the gravity to hit the guy who threw it, he fell onto his back, unconscious, yet still breathing.

"Alright punk, that's it. You're dead" the rest of the most likely fodder delinquents circled Theo. The leader took a swing at Theo's head but he ducked in time. Popping back up to knee the leader in the crotch, that sent him to the ground. Theo picked up his bat.

"I suggest you all back away unless you want something worse headed your way" Theo glared at the rest of the fodder delinquents who then apologized and ran inside of the mall.

"Dammit, what happened to loyalty" the leader growled through the pain. He tried to get back up. And struggled for a minute. Once he did. He stared Theo down. "You're really gonna do all that for some hoe!?" The leader growled and reached for his bat, but Theo stepped away

"Badmouth her again and you'll see what space is like" Theo used gravity to bend the leader's bat in half as he spoke.

"I will remember this, and trust me. When I do something about it, you'll be seeing hell!" The leader drug the brick guy into the mall, muttering something angrily.
