The light in the room faded slowly, as Henry looked around he saw that the people who were there with him didn't care about what was happening and kept on doing their things.
'They must be used to it...'
After a few seconds the room trembled as if an earthquake was happening and as Henry looked at the rest, he saw them standing up and tidying up their stuff as a man opened the door of the teleportation room and politely signaled them that they could leave with his arm.
Henry also stood up and although he felt a little light headed and nauseous it wasn't to the point where he couldn't endure it.
He slowly walked out the teleportation room and tried to shake off the dizziness but the people around didn't look at him at all, it was probably a common occurrence.

A few minutes later he walked out from the teleport station after resting a little bit, Henry had already found planet Reso huge and awe inspiring but the Capitole was on a whole another level ! Sky high buildings were cutting the clouds in half, everything looked extremely beautiful, there was shiny gold and silver everywhere, people were all dressed in fancy clothes, even their pets were dressed better than people from Buton !
This was the golden planet, the Capitole. Although only the richest and strongest planet from the Trish galaxy, it was still famous all over the alliance for it's wealth and beauty.
Although Henry now had the money to take a faster transportation system, he still kept some old habits of being frugal with money so he took the flying bus from the teleport station to the Market's Auction house. The difference in price wasn't that big but old reflexes were hard to get rid of, especially for someone who had been poor from birth until a few weeks ago.
As Henry boarded the bus he walked towards a place where he could sit and put on his earphones, he saw a lot of people wearing normal clothes in here and guessed that not everyone had a beautiful life filled with richness in the Capitole.
The bus started flying and headed towards the next stop when suddenly a guy stood up and walked towards the driver, since it was an uncommon occurrence it attracted the attention of Henry and a few others.
They looked at him curiously until he pulled out a primitive gun from his pocket and put it against the driver's temple, the bus suddenly erupted in chaos and everyone tried to find a way out but what could they do even if the doors opened ? The bus was now flying 50 meters above the ground !
"EVERYONE BACK IN THEIR SEAT BEFORE I BLOW HIS HEAD AND MAKE US ALL CRASH AND DIE !"
The guy with the gun yelled and after a few seconds of more chaos it started calming down and the people started walking back to their seats even though their faces were still tainted with tears and snot.
'Why would someone attack a flying bus full of poor people ? Usually the target of such attacks are rich people since they can pay for their lives but what's with this situation.'
Henry on the other hand was as calm as ever, he was thinking about the goal of this attack and about a solution to get out and maybe save everyone else too if he could.
"Get out."
The criminal gestured to the driver with his gun and took his place in the driving booth.
"What do you want to accomplish by doing this ?"
The driver asked, he had been a driver for twenty years now and he had worked for both rich people and poor people but this was the first time that a flying bus for poor people was hijacked during his whole career.
"Shut up and sit down with the rest."
The criminal's guard was completely down as he drove the bus through the city so Henry didn't hesitate much longer and walked up confidently.
The criminal lifted his gun while holding the steering wheel with his other hand.
"What the hell are you doing ?! Get back to your seat before I blow a hole in your head !"
As soon as Henry saw the guy's finger pulling on the trigger he shifted his armor that was underneath his clothes into the third form, as it was too big it caused the bus to expend due to the pressure.
When the bullet hit the armor it rebounded and made a hole on the floor next to the criminal's feet, he looked at the hole next to his feet, then at the giant armor looking down on him and cold sweat started to form on his forehead.
"Give me the gun."
Henry said through the armor and the guy complied.
'Isn't this supposed to be a bus that only factory workers take?! Why is there a guy with such an expensive equipment here?'
The criminal felt like crying, a short time later the guy had been tied down using whatever they could find in the bus such as belts and shoelaces. Henry changed back his armor into the first form and everyone in the bus came over to him to thank him.
"I think we should stop here and call the police."
He said to the driver who nodded his head gently, he had been through situations like this but usually there were guards with him so he felt safe but this time he didn't have any hope to make it out alive, luckily there was this young man in the bus today.

"That's all that happened, what do you think his objective was ?"
After making a report to the police officers, Henry asked them what was on his mind.
The policeman who took Henry's declaration looked at his colleague next to him and shrugged.
"All we know is that it has a link with the Enemies, however we are sure of nothing yet so don't start a rumor that might cause panic."
"I see, I'll keep it for myself."
'I guess the war won't be over anytime soon...'
Henry thought as he headed towards the auction house, he felt an urge to grow stronger as danger might befall him anytime !
