Although the band was somewhat surprised by the changes, they were prepared for them.
This time, instead of Alois and Liam, Sierra and Esma, two beings of the "Diamond" rank, appeared in their ranks. In addition, they had three "Perfect Doppelgangers" with them, who had already lost touch with the Doppelganger Forest, becoming an important part of the group.

Now the band realized where all that crazy energy had gone. Energy completely concentrated around all the living creatures of the Forbidden Zone, enhancing their fighting power, but at the same time plunging them into a state of madness.
