Chapter 13 - chapter-13-Aventure

Heysti walks past about four trees and sees that same child from the cave trapped under a huge boulder.

-Help me!! the child cries.

Heysti uses his Nova and moves the boulder with the help of Form 19 – Telekinesis.

The boy tries to get up but immediately falls back down.

-I'll help you, little one,Heysti says as he approaches the boy.

-What's your name? the boy asks.

-Heysti. Why?

-You're Arcasas's new friend? Then you have to go back to the cave and save Lee and Arcasas. Leave me here, I'll only slow you down.

-I can't leave you! You're hurt and you can't defend yourself.

Suddenly, from a nearby tree, Kenzo drops down and says:

-Heysti! Go. I'll take care of him.

-No way! Get out of here!Heysti replies.

-Please... go and save my niece.

Heysti pauses, thinking for a moment.

-Fine, I'll go. But to make sure the boy doesn't get hurt, I'll use Form 207 on you.

-...Alright, do it. But once you're done with the clan, you'll cancel it.

Heysti touches Kenzo's chest, then leaves.

(Form 207 is a superpower that lets you plant parasites inside an enemy's body. Once activated, the parasites grow larger and larger until the host explodes.)

-I have to hurry! What if Lee couldn't control her powers? That would be a disaster!" Heysti thinks to himself. He stops, tenses his thighs, and jumps 12 meters into the air.

-From up here, I have a much better view... but it looks like the cave is farther than I thought. I can't see anything.

Heysti falls back to the ground — and this time jumps even harder, soaring up to 79 meters high. Once in the air, he glides like a predatory eagle, heading toward the cave at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour.

In less than 15 minutes, Heysti reaches a hill near the cave. He sees someone standing in front of it, but can't make out who it is. Heysti rushes toward the cave and activates a smoke bomb, spreading across the entire hectare. He slowly approaches the figure ahead and hears:

-Arcasas...

-!! When Heysti hears the voice, he realizes it's Lee, so he stops and responds:

-Lee...

Lee runs toward Heysti and hugs him.

-Why did you reactivate the trap?Lee asks.

-...I didn't activate it.Heysti pauses, thinking to himself: Or... when I used Form 207? And I didn't deactivate the trap in them... I just let them go.

-It wasn't my fault,Heysti whispers. Where is Arcasas? And Dooc?

-While you were in the forest, the clan attacked the cave — together with Jiu. They left me here with no explanation, just took Dooc and Arcasas and left. You activated the trap, so I couldn't move,Lee replies.

-...Lee, I'm sorry.

-I don't need your apologies! I need you to help me save them! Because I'm tired of being unable to protect my friends! And to do that, I have to destroy Jiu! Lee says with determination.
