The kid's would act grateful for the man taking the time as they let out a "YAY!" as his clone appeared. This would be a facade as they turned around to the group just as they were taking off and spoke as if their voices were now one "No one leaves this forest... you will become... One of us!" as their gaze stared forward, their eyes now glowing a bloody red.

At this moment the group would begin to see dozens of pairs of red eyes begin to appear in the darkness around them as a chant began to ring about '''"One of us... One of us... One of us..." as dozens of children began to emerge out walking towards them at a zombie like pace with small weapons in hand (Knives, kunai, etc.)''' as they began to surround them from both sides as well as the front and back.

This would just be a mere stalling technique as the children were just mere clones that had no physical substance, they could not harm or be harmed. This was more of a time wasting technique used by the perpetrator as he passed through this section of the forest creating things to stop whomever would begin to chase him.

The children around would then begin to run towards the group like a mob including the 3 that had caused this stop in the first place, but something much greater might take their minds off this scene out of a horror flick.

To the Northeast in the sky an explosion of massive proportions would explode in the night sky creating a scene only two comets colliding could produce as it illuminated the darkness like non-stop fireworks on the 4th of July. Had the squad paid attention the light would beam through the group of children showing their apparition like beings as it shined directly through them like a projection while the children began to attack, but quickly dissipated once they made contact.

Meanwhile the man would now reach the 25 mile marker only 5 miles away from his destination.

(Decision)

The team could forge forward trying to keep track of the man

-Or-

They could see what caused such a magnificent lighting display in the sky, maybe it was another route in need?
