I will wait for her outside!" He said coldly getting out.
When he was out, they let out the breath they hadn't realized they had!
They all understood his unusual behavior didn't only apply to Myla but all those he cherished.
Even if it was them, he would behave that way.
Arthur waited outside for around ten minutes until he was impatient! He decided to look for her!He used all his senses, he calmed down to concentrate on any sounds in the near perimeter.
He heard heavy steps and knew it was a beast. Ignoring that, he concentrated once more and found light steps in North! It was her! It had to!
He immediately followed his senses to that direction moving swiftly like a lightning bolt until her saw her!
There she was! Moving through the hills heading to the valley. All exhausted and cold. She had no scratches but he assumed her unique body had healed.
But nevertheless, he felt his heart tighten, she was like this because she had saved him! He immediately ran to her side and called worriedly.
"Myla! Are you fine? Are you hurt?" He asked worriedly but their was clear excitement on her face.
"Thur, you are here!"
"Mm, you must be cold!" He wrapped a blanket around her.
" Are you alright?" He asked and she nodded.
"Mm, don't worry." She said.
"Why did you do that? Put your life in danger!" There was clear worry and anger in his voice.
"I had to save you," she replied.
But you put your life in danger, don't do that again!" He argued. He had always been over protective of her like a big brother.
"Am fine now." Making him take a deep breath.
"That's right, but don't endanger your life again."
"Mm." She nodded but she would do the same thing if it happened as Thur would.
They immediately headed to the valley finding their friends seated around the fire on rocks.
Seeing them, Ellie immediately stood up and headed towards them, wrapping Myla in a hug.
"Are you fine?" She asked worriedly.
"Yep," Myla smiled patting her back.
"Am glad!"
By this time, Lex and Al-al were already by their side.
"Am glad you are back, Little!" Al-al ruffled her hair just like Thur.
"Thanks, Al-al." She smiled at his unusual behavior.
"Welcome back, Little Rock!" Lex said.
"Huh? A new nickname?" She was at loss for words.
"Yah, it's cute for you!" He joked.
"Ok, let's sit." Thur chimed in.
They all sat down.
"So tell us, where did you fall?" Arthur asked.
"There are actually sand tunnels! That's where I found myself with the beast!" She started.
"I followed that tunnel until they split into two. I took the one on the left but I found many power stones on walls."
"They were hundreds of them!"
Hearing this, Arthur was surprised, hundreds of power stones? What could possibly put them there?
Myla then took out 35 power stones and 20 gemstones of all shapes she had collected.
"I got these." She smiled.
Arthur then scanned the gemstones with a macro detector and got other 10 points.
"How about we check it out before we proceed?" Arthur suggested.
"Yah, let's do that." They all agreed
With that, they ate, chatted a little and rested leaving Lex on watch. They would exchange in with Alfred and Arthur during the night as they had urged that the girls needed there beauty sleep.
" " " " "
A few hours back, during day.
There was a group of red boys that had taken the darker route. They came across a humanoid beast! It's shape like a human with a tail plus it's black body!
It had two small horns sticking out from its head.
The leader immediately scanned it as it stared at them.
Race : Beast
Name : ??
Classification: Red
Level : High level
Rank : B
Hah! They were doomed! It was the highest level to ever exist and it's name was unknown!
"Benon, press the panic button!" The leader shouted, shivering, scared.
As if it could understand human language, it pounced onto Benon before he could press it.
The leader immediately drew his sword and attacked it but it swung it's tail throwing him miles away knocking him unconscious!
The others all attacked at once but swords couldn't hurt it! It was like they were piercing through thin air and a layer of black mist appeared immediately vanished!
It punched the first one in the stomach sending him flying and kicked the other.
It held the last one by the neck and raised him off the ground making him stare at it. He was shivering and scared.
"We..a..re...not ....to...be.. messed w..ith!" It suddenly blurted out! It's voice was angered and hoarse like it's vocal cords were not for speaking!
Luckily, Benon was still conscious that he pressed the panic button.
_ _ _ _
As promised, one of the seargents arrived in a few minutes.
"What happened?" He was stunned immediately giving Benon a black pill.
"My f..rie..nds," Benon managed to choke out pointing at the direction they were in.
After a few minutes, Benon explained what happened.
"What? A humanoid beast? The highest level one?" The seargent was stunned. This dimension had to be the safest! No red beasts!
He himself wasn't sure he could survive if he fought it! He had to report it immediately!
After taking the injured students to a haven, The seargents immediately gathered and followed the trail it had left! They had to be careful!

In the morning, Arthur's group set off with Myla leading the way to the tunnel! They were now in the Same tunnel with hundreds of power stones.
"Wow! This is amazing!" Ellie's jaw dropped. It was like paradise.
"Yep, it's beautiful!" Al-al agreed nodding.
Arthur sensed a faint strong presence but he didn't know where it was coming from!
They followed the power stoned tunnel until they found a cave!
"There is a cave here?" Myla was surprised as they entered and exited from the other side finding a whole new world!
It was a big arena like stoned place lit with hundreds of thousands of power stones!
'Who could have collected these many power stones and left them here?' Arthur thought to himself. For some reason, the strong presence he had felt had intensified!
He stepped away from his friends who were in there fantansies as he followed the presence calling out to him.
He moved until he exited the arena and entered another with the same design.
"You'r..e.. he..re!" He heard a hoarse voice said. He immediately looked around and found its source. It was a tall black humanoid beast with a tail looking at him.
For some reason, he didn't attack it, he wanted answers. Why it brought him here?
"Seeing you have not attacked, it seems something is stopping you," it said in a hoarse voice.
"You and me are the same! Looking for survival ways! I can sense the power in you is not trained just like that of the blue eyed girl."
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"You don't know? You and the blue eyed girl are the master chess pieces of the human race survival! Didn't you Know that?" It asked but Arthur was confused!
"You've surrounded yourself with a trustworthy, strong and reliable force and it will be useful in the near future!"
"But why do you have to attack us? Just because of these little hearts of ours?"
"You attacked first!" He shot back.
"Oh, I guess you're not informed! It wasn't us! They were aliens!"
"Aliens?"
"I hope you find your suitable companion!" It blurted out moving a step backwards. It was a cliff.
"Wait!" Arthur ran to it's spot looking at where it had fallen. To his suprise, it was in the air with it's pair of Misty black wings.
"What should I call you?" He shouted. It first stayed silent for a moment and grinned.
"Spencer!" It said and flew away.
Arthur was left confused, all it said didn't make sense! Master chess pieces? Impossible, Ethan Adamz, the president is the chosen one!
Looking around, he found a big black book on the ground. Probably left by Spencer! He had to find answers!
