1:50 am

(Ivan's POV)

I wrote on the posterboard with a marker as Dominique got back into the car. Jen snored as Dominique started the car up again and drove onto the road. The marker squeaked as I finished drawing the hieroglyph. In the corner of my eye, I see Sombra in necklace form on the seat. Dominique groaned at the noise.

"Can you draw some other time?"

"I'm setting up for something though."

"Just please do it later." I stare at the poster. What do I put in here? I already have explosives rocks in another, sharp pieces of ice in one. But I got nothing for this one. Wind Arrow's maybe? I can use it as a shield! I smile at my idea. I put the poster in my Inventory.

"I was already done, anyway," I say as I lay down on the seat. The car was silent for a few minutes before I decided to break the silence.

"We're gonna be riding horses right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Do we have to ride a horse? Can I ride something else?"

"If you can bring something you can ride yeah, it can't be a car or vehicle."

They better accept Sombra.

7:50 pm

I shoved the last piece of a Snicker's bar into my mouth as Dominique stopped the car. I looked around only to see an abandoned ranch with cars littering the area. Jen and Dominique quickly get out and stretch. I quickly grab Sombra who was still in Necklace form and get out. Dominique tapped on his phone, the car soon disappeared. Jen looked around.

"Where are we supposed to enter?" Dominique shrugged.

"Let's just look around." He didn't even know? I tap Sombra two times, Sombra quickly transformed into his normal form. Sombra snorted as started running towards the ranch. Jen stared at Sombra in awe.

"What is that?" She asked as I, Dominique, and Jen walked towards the Ranch.

"It's a Kirin."

"I thought it would be bigger."

"The other version of Kirin is bigger."

"What's the other version?"

"A big snake."

"That's- why the big change?"

"I don't know why it's like that."

I walk up to the Ranch, Sombra ran to the side of the ranch. I turn the knob, surprisingly it opened. There was no inside to the ranch, it was just an elevator. I call for Sombra, Sombra immediately rushed towards me. Sombra stopped right in front of me as Dominque and Jen stepped into the elevator. Sombra changed into his necklace form, I grab Sombra and put the necklace around my neck.

The elevator only had two buttons. One button had an arrow pointing up, the second button had an arrow pointing down. Dominique pushed the button pointing down. I take off my watch and ring then put them in my Inventory. I wait patiently until the elevator doors opened to reveal a wide-open area with tents scattered all over the place. A few yards away from the tents was a barn along with a tiny wooden building right next to the barn. We step out of the elevator, I turn around only to see a vast empty desert. There was no sign of an elevator ever existing. How do we even get back?

Dominique made his way over to the wooden building. I and Jen quickly follow after him. My nose was with a foul stench, it smelt like a bunch of animals were holed up in one place for months without being able to see the outside. I gagged as I look around the place. There were two desks, behind them were two very bored people. One yawned as the other wiped dirt off his face. I wait by the front door as I saw him talk to the guy without dirt on his face. The person pointed to the guy next to me. Dominique then started talking to the next person. The guy got up with papers in hand and led Dominique outside. I and Jen followed outside.

The guy led us to the barn, he grabbed the handle of the barn struggled to open the barn. It took a few seconds but eventually, he got the door open. The guy gasped for air as he led Dominque. Dominique looked towards me and Jen and motioned to come with him. I followed him with Jen right behind me. Jen went right up to Dominque and the guy as I kept my distance. The barn was filled with the neighing and snorting of horses. Some of the horses looked like they haven't been fed for ages.

Sombra suddenly changed into his Kirin form by my side. Silence fell over the barn as Sombra walked up to one of the horses. Beneath Sombra's feet, a tree grew until it was under the horse's mouth. A tiny, green bud grew on the tree, the bud slowly grew into a cabbage. The cabbage kept growing until it looked like it was the size of my torso. Without hesitation, the horse bit into the cabbage. The horse quickly finished with the cabbage, Kirin swiftly moved onto the next horse and did the same thing.

How did that cabbage grow on a tree, don't they grow on the ground? Dominique walked over to me as Kirin kept feeding horses cabbages.

"What horse should I pick." I look around.

"I don't know, they all look unhealthy." Dominique looked around. Sombra was still busy feeding horses.

"We have no choice but to pick one," Dominique said with desperateness in his voice. I suddenly heard Sombra snort. I look towards him, the Kirin was walking towards us with two average looking horses behind him. Sombra stopped right in front of me while the two horses wandered around Sombra. The horses didn't look healthy, or that strong, but they were healthier than the rest of our other options.

"I think you know what to pick now." Dominique nodded as he handed me some paper

"Can you read these papers then give them to Jen?" I look down at the page. The paper had the words, "Wild, wild west RULES." There were only five bullet points underneath the title. Underneath the rules was a short description of what the race was about

Where did she go?

8:00 pm

I tried to get comfortable in my saddle as Sombra walked up to the hundreds upon hundreds of contestants waiting for the race to start. I sigh as I was forced to stay in the back. I look around, trying to find Jen and Dominique. I notice a woman on a motorcycle with a metal horse head sticking out in the front: she was in the middle of the contestants. That's a vehicle! Shouldn't she be disqualified? The women rubbed the side of the horse's neck. The head moved with pleasure before going back to its original position.

I don't know if it's living but if she hasn't been disqualified she hasn't broken any rules. It's still unfair though. I felt my stomach churn as everyone readied themselves on their horses. Almost everyone lifted their butt and leaned in towards their horse's neck. A tiny bit of the contestants didn't do them. Ami supposed to do that too? I lean towards Sombra's neck and lift myself into the air. In front of me, there was this little joystick-like thing, I put my hands on the thing while I use hoops hanging on the bottom of the saddle to support my body. My heartbeat loudly in my ears as I anxiously waited for the race to start. I take a deep breath and hold it in for a while.

My ears ringed as a loud bang went off out of nowhere. I lost my grip on the joystick as Sombra took off running. I bounced up and down as Sombra's hooves pushed off the ground. I quickly place one hand on the joystick and take out my spear. I held on tightly to the joystick. My eyes flickered everywhere. The back of my head tingled, I quickly move my head to the side just in time to dodge a bullet fly by my head. The bullet flew through the air and hit a random person in the back. Time seemed to slow down. I turn around only to see a girl pointing a gun in my direction. I raise my arm and use Wind Cannon to propel the spear into the air. Time flowed back to normal as the spear quickly flew through the air and into the girl's chest. She was knocked off her horse. Her body fell to the ground. I use the wind to take the spear out of her body and into my hand. Her body was trampled as the horses from the other contestants stepped on her body.

I turn around and hold my body close to Sombra's neck. Shadows flew over me. I look up to see two horses with wings fly over me. I send a wind arrow in their direction. The arrow flies right by them. I send another wind arrow, just like the last one it flew right by them. I shakily take my hand off the joystick as I put the shaft of the spear into my mouth. I squeezed my thighs tightly around Sombra as I take out a poster board with hieroglyphs on one side. I aim the poster in their direction. I simply will the poster to activate, the hieroglyphs glowed brightly as rocks flew out of the board. I squint my eyes as I put my hand on the joystick and the poster in my Inventory. I snap my fingers when the rocks were close. They flew off their horses on fell to the ground. I grab the spear's shaft and hold it by my side as Sombra quickly passed the other contestants.

In the distance, I saw a forest quickly approaching. I smile as Sombra approaching the front. Before I could get to the front, I was suddenly knocked off Sombra.

I was flown backward and fell to the ground with a thud as my spear landed a couple of feet away from me. I quickly get up and notice other people on the ground with me, in the distance was one person to the side of the forest. I heard the hooves of horses quickly come up from behind. I over my shoulder to see a horse's hoof over my head. Before the hoof could come down on my head, I launch myself to the side with Wind Cannon. Another horse suddenly came out of nowhere. I smashed into the horse's chest and flew to the side. I roll on the ground and landed on my side. The horse quickly ran up to me, it raises its leg. Before I could dodge out of the way, the horse its front legs and slammed its legs into my sides. I groan out as the horse pushed all its weight on me and stayed there. I felt my insides squeeze together as the pain quickly filled my chest. I gasped for air, my gasping quickly turned into wheezing. My chest was suddenly overwhelmed by a sharp pain. I quickly formed a fist of ice beneath the horse and launched it up. The first forced the horse to the side. I force myself back up and try to run away. I could barely get in five steps before my chest flared up with pain, the air in my lungs suddenly vanished. I hear the horse rush up to me, I turn around just in time to see the horse raise its legs. The horse launched its legs forward before its legs could reach me, a wall of sand suddenly rose up from the ground. I swiftly use the wind to get my spear back and turn around. I lightly jog away from the horse.

Horses ran past me. I look around frantically for Sombra, there was no sign of Sombra. I was suddenly lifted up into the air. Sombra's head appeared at the bottom of my vision. My sides burned as Sombra ran to the forest. I felt something crawl up my throat, I held on to the joystick thing on the saddle and looked to the side. I cough into the air. I spot tiny dots of red fly into the air before I lost sight of them. That wasn't blood right?

My vision suddenly filled with green and brown. I look around only to find myself in the forest. I look forward, the forest was one big blur as Sombra ran through the forest. I felt something come up up my throat. I bring up my hand to my mouth and cough. I look at my hand, there were tiny droplets of blood on my hand. I touch the side of my chest that got stomped on by the horse, there was a slight sting. I lightly press down on my side, I yell out in pain as a sharp sting shot through my chest. Sombra slowed down to a moderate pace. After a few seconds of nothing happening, I notice how out of breath I was. I take a deep breath, I stop my breathing as a tiny sting formed in my sides. I take short and rapid breaths as Sombra jogged through the forest.

I heard rapid thudding quickly approach me from behind. I look behind, thankfully it was just Jen. Jen's horse slowed down as it jogged right by my side.

"Jen where's Dominique?" I say as she barely dogged a branch. Sombra took a sharp turn, a branch came out of nowhere. Before the branch could smack me, it suddenly bent itself out of the way. I look over my shoulder, who did that? I push that to the back of my mind as Jen answered.

"I lost him back at the beginning." Smoke covered her body as a round white drone with a screen serving as a face in the middle of the drone. The screen had a yellow smiley face. On top of the drone were three-antennas that bent backward. A tiny holographic screen hovered in front of her left eye as the drone went up into the air. "I could try to find him. I don't know if the drone is gonna find him." I nod as another drone appeared by her side.

This drone was a white head, the drone had a hat that had a spike that pointed backward. There were ear muffs where its ears were supposed to be. Its eyes were a bright blue, it had black streaks going down to its mouth. Its mouth was opened, I don't think I've ever seen it closed. It flew up high into the air. A holographic screen appeared on her left wrist. She brought it up to her eyes and stared intently at it. I caught images of the forest from the top.

"Hey, let's make a right."

"Why?"

"There's a lake up ahead."

"I could freeze it."

"You can do that?"

"Yeah."

"Just go straight ahead then." I nod as we keep going forward.

"I'm going to tell you this now, there are five other people in the forest with us, I don't know if one of them is Dominique. Two are riding one horse, another one is already going around the lake, another one is coming our way. The last one is lost, there are going around in circles."

"Tell me about the one coming our way."

"They're... coming really fast, way faster than if they were on a horse." I suddenly cough, I wheezed for air as pain filled my chest.

"Can we speed up a bit?" Jen stared at my hand.

"Is that blood?" I nod as I pull out an insta-heal. I stab the needle into my arm, before I could press down Jen stopped me. "Don't use that yet."

"Why not?"

"We don't know what's injured. From experience, I can say that you have a broken rib."

"I have trouble breathing if that helps."

"Then you have a punctured rib, we have to take out the air in-between your chest wall and your lung."

"The air?" She nodded. I look down at my Insta-heal. I touch the other side of my body, I felt my ribs through my skin. "What's the chest wall?"

"Your rib cage."

"You could've just said that earlier." I form a sharp, knife-like icicle. I put it close to my injured side. Jen looked away in panic as I felt around my ribcage. I tap Sombra's side, Sombra stopped along with Jen's horse. I wince as I found space in-between my ribs. I close my eyes and stab myself. Jen squirmed around in her saddle as I made a slit in my sides. I quickly take the ice out and throw it on the ground. I close my eyes and imagine the airflow out of my body. Instead of air flowing out, the air suddenly rushed into my body. I winced as my sides flared up. Blood flowed out of my body and onto the saddle. Shit!

I close my eyes again and imagine the air around me going away. My Mp bar drained in half as Jen started choking. I tried breathing, but it came out as a weak wheeze. I quickly press down on the Insta-heal as Sombra and Jen's horse rushed forward. I groaned as air rushed into my body. My ribs moved along with my skin stitching itself together. I took a deep breath without pain. I pat Sombra's sides, Sombra started to jog. Jen followed afterward. She gasped for air as we made our way to the lake. As we traveled towards the lake, a box appeared.

Thanks to a certain action, you unlocked a new skill!

Lvl1(23%) Vacuum- You can remove the air in a 5 ft diameter for as long as you have Mp to spare. Mp per second -150 mp

God that's expensive to use. I take out a small Mp potion and chug it down. I throw the bottle on the ground as Sombra stopped in front of the lake.

I got off Sombra and walked towards the lake. I take out my spear and guide it towards the middle of the lake by using the wind. I slowly put the spear into the water, the water covered all of the spears except the last two inches of the shaft. I guess we can't go through it. Sombra walked up behind me and bit the part of my shirt that was behind my neck. I looked over my shoulder as Sombra lifted me up the ground. Sombra walked towards the water and held me over it for a while. Can Sombra understand me?

I stretch out my hand and freeze the water in a straight path. Sombra walked onto the ice and held me over the water again. So Sombra can understand me. I take out an Mp potion as I freeze over some of the water again. Sombra jogged on the ice as I continuously froze the water. Sombra sped up, I opened the Mp bottle with my mouth as my Mp bar started to run out. I drank the bottle as Sombra sped up again. I spot the faint shadows of birds in the water. I squint my eyes at the shadows, is that just the water or is it something else? I grit my teeth as the moon started to rise in the sky. Why couldn't we just start in the morning? I look up and only saw the dark sky. I had a feeling that something was about to happen. I look back down, the shadows were still there. Sombra stopped. He let me down, I quickly got on his back as Jen stopped right behind me.

"What's wrong?" Jen asked.

"Can you check the sky with your drone for me?" I ask.

"Just a sec," she said as she tapped on the screen. Sombra moved forward a bit like the sound of an engine could be heard in the distance. I leaned to the side and stretched my arm towards the water, I froze the water in a straight path. Sombra ran on the ice as I quickly made a path for us. Jen ran behind us. Sombra sped up as the shadows got larger. "Watch out!" She yelled as the top of my head tingled.

Sombra quickly came to a halt, I felt the wind whoosh by me. Jen turned around and ran back the way she came. I look over my shoulder as Jen ran off. I smack Sombra's side, I lean to the side and freeze the water as Sombra ran at full speed. As we got to the middle of the lake, a huge shadow came up to us. The water splashed as I saw a huge lean slimly creature jump out of the water. The creature opened its mouth to reveal a thin rope-like tongue. The tongue launched out of its mouth, the tongue struck my arm, the force of the tongue struck me off Sombra and onto the ice. Before I could do anything, a sharp, sword-like object stabbed my arm. The object dragged me off the ice and into the water headfirst. Before I could start sinking, I twist my body and tried to grab onto the ice. I heard the stomps of Sombra running off into the distance.

the sword-like object pulled on my arm as I struggled to lift myself up. I forced my magic into my arms, I lifted my chest out of the water. I use Wind Arrow on the object. I sent a wave of air at the object, the object tore off the skin of my arm as it was sent flying. Before I could climb onto the ice, a cold, wet rough sensation wrapped around my leg. My body was pulled back down into the water and into the depths. I swallow the water as I felt the sensation go up to my thigh. I take out my spear and look down. The fish-like creature was staring into my eyes as its tongue crept up my body. I felt the magic in my arms fade as I swung my weapon at the creature's tongue. My weapon slowly made its way towards its tongue. The tip of the spear didn't have enough force to do anything to the tongue. I felt the air escape my lungs as I frantically look around for a way to escape.

I take out a poster with hieroglyphs on it and point it at the creature. I willed the hieroglyphs to activate. Sharp, sword-like icicles flew out of the poster and directly into the creature's head. The creature's grip lessened on my leg before it wasn't even grabbing my leg. I kick at the creature's tongue and put my spear and poster into my Inventory. I look up towards the surface and claw at the water, I desperately kick my legs in an attempt to swim up. Water went into my body as I tried to use Wind's Cannon. Nothing happened. The surface of the water rippled as jet ski rode up to the ice on the surface. Water forced its way into my mouth, I close my eyes and try to feel my way for air.

I could only feel the air on top of the water. My lungs begged for air. The only thing on my mind was the need for air. My stomach churned as a thin stream of wind made its way towards me. My muscles cramped as I begged for more air. I forced more air into the stream, the stream got a bit bigger. I squeezed my eyes as I willed the stream to get bigger. The stream slowly got bigger and bigger until it was the size of a truck. Water forced its way into my body as the stream of wind started to spin. The water circled around my body the water dragged my body in a circular movement. My vision blackened as my body started to shut down. My body went limp as the sound of the wind could be heard on the surface.

My body suddenly fell to the ground hard, my back and head were covered with dirt. I opened my eyes to see Sombra jump down. The water swirled around the wind, I took a deep breath as my Mp bar quickly drained. Sombra crouched and bit the front of my shirt. A wet and gritty feeling slowly enveloped me, Sombra quickly sank into the ground. I close my eyes as dirt swallowed my body.

The wet sound of dirt moving could be heard for a split second, everything went silent. I held my breath before I felt my body leave the dirt. I opened my eyes, I found myself next to the ground. The wind calmed down. I quickly get up, Sombra was by my side. My vision blurred, I hunch over and gag. Water burst out of my mouth, there was a bit of vomit mixed in with the water. I heard the sounds of guns firing near the lake. I stand right up and rush over to Sombra. I climb up onto Sombra. Before I could get comfortable Sombra sprinted off towards the lake. I bounced with each step Sombra took.

I quickly tap Sombra's sides in an effort to make Sombra stop. Sombra ignored my tapping and rushed out onto the lake. I take a deep breath and prepare to jump off. Before Sombra could hit the water, large thick branches came out of the ground and made a path. I look up and see a black with bright blue lights drone by Jen's head. The drone had two parts, the head was on the lower half of the drone's top half M-shaped head. On the left and right sides of the M, were arms that extended forwards. It had what looked like a machine gun at the end of the arms.

Fish circled around her. She was stranded on a tiny piece of ice. I looked to one side of the lake, I saw her horse patiently waiting by the side. The black drone rushed behind her and fired randomly into the air. Jen continuously looked at her holographic screen. She looked up in my direction.

"Ivan under you!" Sombra jumped backward and almost stumbled to the side. I grip the saddle tightly. A black figure jumped out beneath the branches and through it. The figure landed on the water. I notice that the bottom part of the figure slowly turned into a jet ski with a horse's head on the top part of the jet ski. The top part of the figure looked like a human as far as I can tell. I notice the skin of the figure looked like it was shifting around. I heard little skittering sounds as the skin moved. The figure looked directly at me without moving an inch, it didn't even talk. The black skin tore apart to reveal a girl with bright blue eyes and long hair. She had a small nose along with big lips. I freeze up as I see a black beetle crawl across her face.

"Were you in the one the fish almost drowned?" She asked politely. I close my fist and take out a rock with hieroglyphs on it. I silently nod as I wait for my Mp bar to fill up. I envisioned my blood flowing through my body as she responded.

"I'm sorry about that, but can you please leave. I would rather not kill a child." I stared at her confused. Does she really not want to kill me? I look over at Jen, the ice started melting slowly. I point in Jen's direction.

"What about my teammate?"

"She's going to stay," she said politely. I nod and tap Sombra's sides. Sombra turned around and started to walk away. I tap Sombra's sides again. I look to face her.

"Before I forget," I stretch out my hand with the rock in it. She took the rock the rock and held it up to her face.

"What's this?"

"It's something I would make her all the time." She opened her mouth to say something, I snap my fingers before she could say something. I quickly put an ice wall between Sombra and her. A bright light flashed on the other side of the wall. I hear her scream as the jet ski rushed to the side. She turned in my direction. Branches formed in front of us, Sombra ran forward before suddenly stopping. Sombra quickly shifted into necklace form as I fell down. Somehow, I was able to land on the branches. As she broke the branches, I notice that she had those beetles covering her face. Drips of blood flowed down the beetles. She swiftly turned her jet ski towards me and rushed.

I jump to the side, she barely missed my leg. She turned as I shot a wind arrow. The arrow hit her directly in the chest. She flinched for just a sec, the arrow did nothing to her. I fly up into the air before she can hit me with her jet ski. I quickly fly towards the forest, I land softly on the ground. I quickly take out a large Mp potion and chug it down. I felt my back tingle before I could finish half. I take the bottle off my lips and launch myself to the side. Time slowed down as teleport behind a tree. I drink the rest of the bottle and use Wind Sense. I sensed a large, bird with huge talons coming for the tree I was behind. Its skin felt like scales, it didn't look like it had fur. I run out from behind a tree and prepare to shoot a wind arrow at it. I blink several times realizing that nothing was there. I felt my chest tingle before I was tackled by a blunt object. I fell on my black as I felt something heavy fall onto my chest. I use Wind Cannon on the space on top of me. I heard something smack into the tree as I hear the engine of a motorcycle quickly get louder and louder.

I turn around, I saw the girl on a motorcycle just a yard away. I prepare to jump out of the way as she got closer. Before she could hit me, I send a wave of air at her and use Wind Cannon to launch myself out of the way. My head smashed into a tree with a loud thud. I stumble back up onto my feet. I freeze up for just a moment, I look down on my arm to see a single black beetle on my arm. I run behind the tree and try to smack the beetle off my arm. The beetle gripped my arm hard, it refused to let go. I look back up as I saw the shape of a motorcycle rush by in the corner of my eye. I quickly fly up into the air and land on a nearby tree branch. The sounds of an engine quickly stopped. I look back down at the beetle and put my index finger and thumb on its sides. I squeeze as hard as I could, the shell of the beetle didn't even crack.

How I'm supposed to get this off? I don't think I've even touched her after I did that trick with the rocks. I can't hurt the beetles either, they're hard to take off to. Why is this one sticking to me though? I didn't see it come off either. I did use Wind Cannon on the girl, maybe the beetle flew off then? I look around for the girl. She was waiting patiently by the base of the tree. She was still covered in beetles. I look to the side to see Jen's black drone by my side. The drone nudged down towards the ground. I saw Jen hiding behind a tree. She raised her arms like she was shooting a gun. She then pointed to me and twirled one finger in a circle.

I tilt my head and shrug. She wants to attack but what does she want me to do. The black drone spun in place. I look back down and Jen. She held up her arms like she was holding a bow. I nod as I finally understood what she was staying. I look down at the girl and point my middle finger at her. The base of the tree was covered in those black beetles. The swarm of beetles quickly crawled up at the tree. I quickly form a wind arrow at the tip of my finger and spun the arrow.

MY legs shook as the beetles got closer inch by inch. The black drone aimed down and started firing. Only a tiny amount of the beetles fell off, most of the beetles powered through the bullets. The arrow spun faster and faster by the second. The air around the arrow swirled around my finger. I felt the air around my body leave as it gathered around the arrow. The leaves on the trees shook violently, the beetles nearest to me were forced off the tree and into the arrow. A loud boom shook the trees as the arrow left my finger. The arrow forced the beetle off my arm and the beetles off the trees as it struck the ground. The beetles on the girl flew off and flew towards the arrow. The arrow forced the girl off her motorcycle and onto the ground. The arrow dug into the ground for a few seconds before it disappeared. I quickly shoot a normal wind arrow towards her neck. The arrow dug into her neck as she struggled to get back up. Blood gushed out of her neck as her body fell to the ground motionless.

The beetles scattered from the place where the spinning arrow came from. I sigh as the black drone disappeared. I take a deep breath before jumping off the branch and gliding towards the ground. Jen whistled loudly as she came out behind the tree and walked towards me.

"Good news, I found Dominique."

"Great." I simply responded with. My head suddenly felt like it was being pounded with a hammer. I sat down on the ground to catch my breath. I look up at the sky, it was pitch black. I close my eyes as a box appeared.

Thanks to controlling the wind in a certain way, you gained a new skill!

Lvl1(14%) Hurricane- Whenever you're near water, you can create a hurricane with the wind by spiraling the wind in a circle. Speed of Hurricane- 112 Mph. Mp peruse- 500 mp. Mp per second- 250 per second.

What is Am'I going to do with this? If I use it for one second, it's gonna drain my Mp bar instantly. I close the box as Jen sat on the down the ground.

"Let's just rest for the day. It's too dark to travel." I nod as I take out two sleeping bags, I toss one to Jen and look around.

Do I really have to sleep on the ground?

A/N: like always I'm going to explain the abilities shown in this chapter. Only this time I'm going to explain the girl's abilities and Jen's abilities. The rest of the abilities will come later.

[Jen] Pursue- The user can summon three drones that each have different tasks. One drone searches for the user's target, once the target is found the drone will notify the user with a live feed of the target. The live feed will appear in the user's left eye in the form of a holographic screen. The user will not be able to control the drone. The second drone is similar to the first drone except the user is forced to control the drone. The drone is controlled by the user's thoughts. When the drone is active, a holographic screen will appear on the user's wrist, the screen will show what the drone sees. The user can change the drone's vision to night vision, thermal vision, or the user can keep the vision normal. The third and final drone will be equipped with two turrets. The user can choose whether or not the drone will act by its self. If the user wants to control the drone, the user will have to be aware of where the drone is and how it moves. A holographic screen won't show what the drone sees.

[Girl on 'motorcycle'] Born this way- Whenever the user raises something from a baby or larvae/ pupae, the user is able to change the creature's biology whenever they please. If the changes are too extreme, the creature will die quicker than expected.
