Power of Heirlooms

PART 1: NO TIME TO LOSE

Dip saw that Aarav was distracted by the fight between Christopher and the other kids. Dip leapt forward and punched Aarav. He was able to throw a couple of punches before Aarav started dodging them. And a couple of swings after that, Aarav started hitting back and Dip had to dodge.

"I think it's a little congested here," Dip said. "Let's move a little away, my friend."

The ground beneath Dip and Aarav moved, it rose and took them a few hundred meters away. Raymond and the others looked worried, but Aarav preferred that way. He would not have to worry about injuring others if he was away. And Annie was well suited to stop Christopher.

Raymond looked at his arm, the tattoo glowed white. The barrier disappeared and a shiny cube came floating near Raymond formed out of thin air. Raymond extended his hand to get it.

"We need that more than you do!" Christopher said.
