Chapter 30:
Koji: "Zoe!"
Zoe: "Hi, Koji… Sorry, you must be a little mad at me *nervous*."
Koji: "No, No, No, don't worry, I understood why you did all of that."
Zoe: "Well, I'm sorry either way… I thought if I told you what I was doing maybe, you wouldn't have agreed to it, so I just hid it from you."
Koji: "I understand, don't worry about it… it was to help me, thank you. *laugh*."
Zoe: "Also Koji, when I talked to your brother Sota, he was stressed, and I think he doesn't understand everything that happened."
Koji: "Do you know where he is?!"
Zoe: "I don't know sorry… But I know Sota isn't in the country anymore."
Koji: "How?"
Zoe: "A gate control officer informed the headquarters that he tried to leave, so he probably snuck outside since he had a shoot on sight order issued to him."
Koji: "Is that order still in action?"
Zoe: "No! No! Cheif Kirigaia removed it right after he got noticed about it."
Koji: "Thank god."
Zoe: "He is either in the Icy region, The forest, The desert or the mountains."
Koji: "So basically to any other country."
Zoe: "Umm, yes sorry I wasn't too helpful *chuckle*."
Koji: "Don't worry, I'm sure he is alright, and either way I'll go look for him if I don't hear anything from him soon."
Zoe: "Okie" *smiling*

*Mountainous Region*
Sota: "Akari why did you let me live?"
Akari: "I like men who have guts, and I think you have guts. Simple."
Sota: "But why so suddenly make me the second in power?"
Akari: "Because I like you, not only that I know you are very talented, the way you can use your water powers with so much control means you must have practised everyday right?"
Sota: *thinking* "I think I only practised using them once with my brother."
Akari: *laughing* "Stop joking, I'm serious."
Sota: "Me too."
Akari: *thinking* He can't be human.
Sota: "What's wrong?"
Akari: "No, no nothing… I was just thinking of something that came to mind."
…
Akari: "Is your brother strong?"
Sota: "No, not really… I'm a lot stronger, and he did practise his abilities almost every time he had the chance to."
Akari: "Strange…"
…
Akari: "You know, I have a brother too. He is older than me; he was never as strong as me because I practised every day; strangely, you're stronger than someone who trains."
Sota: "I dunno… I guess I'm special." *laughing*
