Rex looked at the guards infront of him one by one.
GUARD 3: You heard him kid hands above your head!
REX: What if I don't want to?
GUARD 4: We'll make you do it!
REX: Try your luck then.
BRIDGETTE: Rex what are you doing?
REX: (Smirks) Watch!
White smokes rose from the ground around the six guards and began to choke them as they fell one by one.
JAX: (Amazed) That was awesome!
BRIDGETTE: What did you do to them?
REX: I made them take a comfortable six hours rest.
JAX: I'm already loving these abilities of yours.
KIM EVA: You've seen nothing yet bruh.
As they walked into the deep part of the woods (the heart of the woods) Rex suddenly went missing to the dismay of Jax and Bridgette; Kim Eva looked more relaxed and carefree than any of them.
BRIDGETTE: Kim did you see where Rex entered?
KIM EVA: (Nonchalantly) No? Call him he might be somewhere.
JAX: You sound like you're not bothered!
KIM EVA: (Blurts out) Why should I?
JAX: You crazy!
KIM EVA: Oh you can call me that again and again.
BRIDGETTE: Could you two just shut up and let's looks for him together?
REX: (Still invisible) I'm here!
JAX & BRIDGETTE: Where?
(Rex turns visible)
KIM EVA: Behind you both!
REX: Hey!
BRIDGETTE: You frightened us again!
REX: Why you scared?
JAX: We thought you might have gone missing the second time.
REX: I'm here as you can see.
KIM EVA: I tried telling em but they won' listen.
JAX: Liar! You just kept pressing your phone.
BRIDGETTE: Guys! Would you stop your unnecessary fight already?
KIM EVA: ( Carefreely) You tell him.
REX: (Faces them as his eyes turns dim yellow) I grew up not knowing who I was until my encounter with Araik. I was made to know that I am from a special lineage of humans known as Altrons and also, the last of my kind.
JAX: More like Avatar cartoon?
REX: I don't know what that is but maybe like it.
KIM EVA: So what Avatar are you?
REX: I'm not an Avatar I'm an Altron, a second grade; I'm currently undergoing training to become a full first grade Altron.
A third grade Altron doesn't have much abilities just super strength and thick skin.
KIM EVA: That's why you never bled or even had scars.
REX: Yes and my eyes bright yellow. That's how to know a third grade Altron. (Eyes turns gold) Altrons are differentiated by their eye colour, a second grade Altron's eyes turns gold when in their Altron mood.
JAX: Cool!
REX: Yeah. Look at this!
Rex looks at one of the fallen trees as it begins rise to the amazement of Jax, Bridgette and Kim Eva. He releases lasers on the log of wood floating on the air, the log catches fire followed by rushing wind from different angles of the woods. The wind was stronger almost making the others to loose balance.
The wind slowly began to reduce till it stopped finally as his turns back to normal, the log was burnt to ashes.

NEXT DAY IN THE GYM
9:30 AM
Kim Eva is seen doing her normal workout routine as Rex joins her shortly.
REX: Hi!
KIM EVA: (Panting) Hey! You're 5 minutes late.
REX: It's no big deal. (Picks up the 33 pounds Barbell with his left arm like it was a piece of wood)
KIM EVA: (Amazed) Whoa! Dude.
REX: What?
KIM EVA: You' carrying a 20kg barbell like it's a small piece of wood.
REX: It's nothing. (Drops the barbell carelessly)
KIM EVA: (Stares at him with utter shock)
REX: (Looks at her and laughs) You better don't start that look now, you've got work to do.
Rex walks up to the punching bag Kim Eva was busy with a while ago, he hugs it as Kim Eva approaches to load punches on the bag.
As they continued the door opens and Sylvia enters the gym dressed like she also came to workout. She looked totally stunning in a complete yoga suit sports long pants and bra revealing her flat hard stomach blending with her hourglass figure, it was like she changed the air of the environment.
Rex soon lost concentration in no time as he just gazed at her.
KIM EVA: Dude! What's up with you? You're losing grip.
REX: (No response as he is totally lost)
KIM EVA: (Turns behind to see who he is staring so hard at) Oh! It's you.
SYLVIA: Hi Kim.
KIM EVA: Hey Sylvy! (Smiling)
SYLVIA: Hi Rex...
REX: (Raises his hand in a high five manner) Hi!
KIM EVA: Dude you better concentrate, don't let her catch you staring at her like that.
REX: (Blinks) I'll try but... (Low tone) She's uncontrollably hot!
KIM EVA: Yeah I know that she's fire, you're lucky to be surrounded by hot girls you know. Not to brag but I am! And there goes Sylvia and then Olivia. Shit! Did I just say Olivia?
REX: (Snorts) This is probably the first time you're saying something nice about her.
KIM EVA: Or maybe because that part of her is just obvious.
(Sylvia's and Rex's eyes met as she rolls them quickly off his)
KIM EVA: Something tells me she's in love with you.
REX: I don't thinks so, she's actually playing with me.
KIM EVA: I don't view it that way though just saying.
REX: She turned me down first!
KIM EVA: (Smiles) She loves you!
REX: Did she tell you that?
KIM EVA: Naaah... She's still a bit reserved but I kin'a figured it out.
REX: Well I tell you, you're certainly wrong.
KIM EVA: I can't be wrong, she's losing her mind everyday because of you, it ain't easy for her I tell you.
REX: Neither was it easy for me either!
KIM EVA: I'm leaving you two righ' now.
REX: Are you crazy? Why?
KIM EVA: I bet you should know by now the answer to that question 'cause bruh righ' now I'm already ultra crazy!
REX: Don't do this I beg you.
KIM EVA: Watch this! Hey Silvy...
SYLVIA: Yep!
REX: (Low tone) What're you doing Kim?
KIM EVA: Rex needs your assistance here I'm leaving for a short while.
REX: (Covers his face in frustration) Oh I hate you Kim Eva!
KIM EVA: Awwwwn.... I love you too bestie. (Runs out of the gym quickly)
Sylvia walks up to Rex who was backing her.
SYLVIA: You said you need my assistance.
REX: (Looks at her reflection through the mirror directly facing him) Uhm, yeah.
SYLVIA: On what?
REX: (Faces her) Be my workout partner till Kim Eva comes back.
SYLVIA: Ok! (Examines his physique with hungry eyes and as she unintentionally bit her lower lip) Where do we start?
(Rex's phone buzzes)
He brings it from his pocket and sees a new text from Kim Eva.
"She's tripping hard, tease her a little.
Play your cards well I'm watching you 👁️!"
REX: (Smiles as he puts the phone back in his pocket and looks at Sylvia whose eyes were already on him) Errr... What exercise do you suggest we do.
SYLVIA: I should be asking you that, what are your workout routines with Kim?
REX: We do sit-ups, boxing exercises, push up, muscle exercises and sometimes we get on the thread mill.
SYLVIA: We'll start with sit-ups that's my favorite, good thing I've not started yet.
REX: Ok!
SYLVIA: I'll start while you pin me.
Sylvia lies face up on a mat as Rex bends to hold firm her knees together.
SYLVIA: Hey that hurts, lossen your grip a bit.
REX: Sorry.
They began series of sit-ups as Rex firmly pins her...
SYLVIA: ...45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50. (Stops as she pants) Your turn.
She stands as Rex takes her position on the mat. Sylvia grabs his knees but then she knew she wouldn't be able to pin.
SYLVIA: I might not be able to pin you firmly like this.
REX: What if you employ your body weight?
SYLVIA: Doesn't sound harmful. (Shrugs)
REX: That's the only way, that's how Kim is able to pin me.
SYLVIA: Alright... I'm on it.
She goes on her knees as she parts her thighs inorder to let Rex's legs be in-between, she then leans forward to release her weight on his knee as she holds them.
SYLVIA: Good?
REX: Yeah, start counting.
SYLVIA: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.....
Sylvia couldn't stop herself from staring hard at his body, she didn't even realise she started miscounting. Rex just enjoyed the scene a little before jolting her back to reality.
SYLVIA: (Flushed face) Sorry.
REX: You're miscounting.
SYLVIA: (Smiles shyly) I'm sorry, my bad. It's kin'a my weakness. (Stands up)
REX: I wasn't even shirtless?
SYLVIA: But I saw it bulge which is enough for me to loose concentration.
REX: Hm. (Straight face)
SYLVIA: What do we do next?
REX: Thread mill.
SYLVIA: Okay by me. (Nods and pouts)
ON THE THREAD MILL
SYLVIA: How was the exams yesterday?
REX: It was good!
SYLVIA: When did you finish?
REX: The time I saw you close to the field.
SYLVIA: You mean to tell me you finished three papers in barely three hours?
REX: Two hours thirty minutes to be precise, the exams weren't hard at all.
SYLVIA: Well that's for you tho, I spent a whole one hour twenty minutes out of two hours fifteen minutes racking my brain on only the objective session in physics.
REX: Hm.
SYLVIA: Yeah... (Reduces the speed of the thread mill to the minimum) Can I tell you something?
REX: What is it?
SYLVIA: It's cheesy...
REX: Go on.
SYLVIA: I...
(Door opens)
KIM EVA: I'm back! Who missed me?
SYLVIA: (Between gritted teeth) Oh God why now?
