They were all stunned when the cabinet opened, revealing the very spear they had been searching for.
"Waaa!"
Roy quickly snatched the spear.
Roy: "Here it is! We got it! Oh yeah!!!"
Ken: "Can I hold it?"
Roy: "Of course, buddy."
Ken took the spear with a satisfied smile. Meanwhile, Cris accidentally noticed a bottle filled with bright yellow liquid.
Glen: "Come on, let's head back."
Noa: "But which way?"
Glen and the others began to think about the quickest way out of the cave. While they were distracted, Cris quietly slipped the potion into his dimensional storage without anyone noticing.
Ken: "What about that small light hole? I think it might be an exit."
Glen's train of thought shifted to the small light that Ken pointed at.
Glen: "That sounds like a good idea."
Glen began using both hands to enlarge the hole, which was about 15 meters away. Sunlight soon illuminated the area.
Noa patted Ken's shoulder.
Noa: "Good thinking, Ken. Looks like you can think critically."
Ken scratched the back of his head shyly.
Ken: "Haha, thanks."
Roy: "What are we waiting for? Let's get out of here!"
Glen used his powers to form a staircase. Roy and Cris quickly climbed it, followed by the others.
Glen: "Cris, Roy, take it easy."
Roy: "Sure thing!"
They all reached the surface.
Roy: "Ah, finally solid ground! I missed the smell of it."
Roy stretched his arms wide and breathed in the fresh air with a relieved smile.
Cris: "Um, if this is land, then where were we just now?"
Hearing that, Roy's smile quickly faded.
Roy: "Cris, don't you think this bright place is worth missing? Come on, man, some things are better not overthought."
Noa: "Still, it does raise a question."
Roy: "Let's just call it a lava sea."
Glen: "That's odd, since not everything there was lava, Roy."
Roy pouted, slightly annoyed.
Roy: "Ugh, whatever! I'll call it what I want, okay?!"
Roy: "Cris, can you summon the jet now? I miss the HQ."
Cris: "Alright, stand back."
Everyone moved aside as instructed. Cris spun his left palm and looked down, summoning the jet below him. He opened the door.
Cris: "Hop in, Roy."
Cris and Roy entered, started the jet, and flew off. Meanwhile, Noa and Glen remained calm, which puzzled Ken.
Ken: "Eh, why aren't you guys freaking out? They just left us."
Noa: "Relax, Ken. They're just scouting for a way out."
Ken, still confused: "Why don't we go with them?"
Glen: "Because the jet only fits two people."
While they were talking, the jet returned. Roy opened the door and stepped out.
Roy: "Okay, listen up! Since Ken's still new, he'll ride the jet. Cris will pilot. The rest of us will move through the forest. Got it?"
Everyone: "Yes, we got it!"
Noa: "Veyron!"
Everyone: "Let's go!"
They followed Roy's plan and exited the forest.
During the journey, Ken curiously asked Cris:
Ken: "Cris, why do you hate Glen?"
Cris glanced at Ken with displeasure.
Cris: "You know, some things don't need to be explained."
Ken: "Okay, sorry for asking."
Cris: "By the way, after this trip, are you thinking of joining Veyron?"
Ken: "Um... I'm not sure. I don't think so."
Cris: "Come on, why not? Being a Veyron is fun, you know."
Ken: "Yeah... maybe."
Ken quickly turned his head, causing Cris to stop questioning further.
When they reached the edge of the forest, Cris got out and summoned all their vehicles.
Noa hopped onto his motorcycle, Ken stayed in the jet, Glen and Roy entered a sports car, while Cris returned to the jet.
Noa: "Alright, let's go home."
Noa: "VEYRON, LET'S GO!"
Noa: "Wuhuuu!!!"
They all headed home, and within 30 minutes, they arrived at the base.
