After finding Joy Ann, Paulo decided to save her first and then look for others to help. He stored Guntha on his back and bent over to lift Joy Ann with a heave-ho. Oof, she was heavier than she looked. She also seemed out cold, and dead weight was way worse to carry than permitting weight.
Stumbling back in the direction of the portal, Paulo and Guntha had a mental conversation about how ladies in distress were most distressing, especially when it seemed like they weighed ten thousand pounds. Guntha kept reminding him that she probably had good qualities as a person, but Paulo wasn't really having any of it. Sucked to be her, sure, and he was rescuing her, sure, but he wasn't going to think extra kind thoughts when she could have stood to lose some weight. She ought to have realized that someone was going to have to lug her body around some day and adjusted accordingly. Sheesh.
Paulo stepped slowly into the portal, letting it whisk him away. The sooner he could put her down, the better.

Yeah, this definitely wasn't where the portal was supposed to take them. Paulo dropped Joy Ann, forgetting to be careful in his haste as he grabbed for Guntha. It looked like they were on a highway, with cars abandoned everywhere and...
"¡Qué !@#$%^&*!" Paulo cursed lightly, grabbing an arrow and drawing Guntha though he had nothing to shoot. Nothing until the monstrosity formed and he realized his training had never covered this. It hurt his head just to look at it, but that didn't stop him from letting his arrow fly and drawing another one, even as the monster was falling apart and its vines started reaching for him. "Guntha!" he cried as a voice other than his familiar weapon's sounded in his head. Ow, ow, ow, ow.
Paulo's eyes watered and his vision began to swim with pain as it spoke. Sure as hell isn't! he thought back at it fiercely. Get out of my head! That didn't make the flash of images any easier... It was only Guntha's voice finally breaking through that kept him from passing out as well, and he just barely made it to pick up Joy Ann again and start running. Where he was running to, he wouldn't have been able to say, but he knew he had to get as far away from the beast as possible. It wasn't fear; it was the vines, and they were coming after him, trying to trip him... He wanted to stop and kick them all to infierno, but what could a bow and arrow do against so many individual vines? It was best to keep running.

Suddenly, the vines were bursting from everywhere. It felt like buildings were exploding left and right under the pressure of the greenery, and it was a miracle the highway he was running on didn't suddenly sprout as well. The fog closed in again, and Paulo realized he couldn't just keep running like mad. There were cars everywhere... If he could find a car... Well, maybe they'd stand a chance.
There! There was a convertible there, and it looked like the keys were still in it! Paulo dumped Joy Ann's unconscious form in the small back seat, slung Guntha into the passenger's seat, and turned the key before punching the dashboard with joy as the engine turned and the car started.
Before I came to Deus, he responded mentally to Guntha's question about his previous driving experiences, shoved the car into gear, and floored the gas pedal. Hunters didn't typically need cars, but cars had been a big part of his village's social life. Sure, he had usually been the kid brother stuck in a back seat, but he'd gotten enough practice to make the car move.
His headset crackled with static, making him almost miss the announcement that went out to all hunters. Another portal, straight down the highway. He could do this! They could get out of there, and this nightmare would end!

Paulo glanced in the rearview mirror as the engine coughed and died. Oop, that was not a good noise, because he had totally botched that cluch-then-gearshift thing. Thankfully they'd made it 6km down the highway, but that apparently was not enough.
"Watch out!" he cried out loud as the vines behind them thrashed at the car and the whole thing dented and jerked. Ow, ow, ow... "Guntha..?" Okay, his weapon was still in the car, and Joy Ann seemed a bit bruised but also still there. He should have stolen a tank.
He started the convertible again, cursing his luck for not finding an automatic. Life just had to be complicated, didn't it?

That time flooring it worked, and Paulo remembered to listen to the car and shift up when he needed to. Thankfully it was more or less like riding a bike, just more dangerous with more moving parts, internal combustion, etc. etc.
There! There was the portal! Paulo slammed on the breaks, put the car into park, grabbed Guntha and then struggled to grab Joy Ann. Getting girls into the back seats of cars had been so easy in the past... Why was getting this one out of the back seat so friggin difficult?

Okay, fine, if she wasn't going to get out of the flipping car, he was just going to have to drag her. Erasing his earlier thoughts about wanting a tank, Paulo looped both his arms around Joy Ann's torso and tugged. Finally!
Now all he had to do was make it the 5 yards to the portal and... Guntha! he yelled mentally, thought the bow couldn't help him, as the previously prone woman started to attack him. Man, she was strong for one so heavy but yet so petite. Paulo managed to resist the urge to grab Guntha and shoot her, partially because she had grabbed his arm and was dragging him back towards the vines. "No, no, no!" he shouted at her, trying to drag her the other way... It was strange how her eyes were closed, almost as if...
"What?" he responded to Guntha's voice in his head, as his headset went dead. The portal was..? He let go of Joy Ann's hand, which he had been trying to pry off his arm and turned to look at the empty air that used to be his ticket back home. Well then... "Do most field missions go like this?" Not that Guntha would know either, per se, but Paulo felt like asking someone. And the lady seemed out cold again. Paulo prodded her with his foot. Great. Now what?
