Livia showed the darts happily to the other girls. While Aza went for the mini electric staff.
The staff would expand when the user would press on the white eagle sign designed on it.
It will expand in both directions. And the ends had an electric current flowing there. The ends of the staff were electrically empowered.

"Guys I have something really important to tell you!!"
Zeki roared at the top of his lungs. Yet his brothers ignored him like a plague.
He got frustrated at them. He didn't know why his brothers were always so cold to him even though he was their blood brother.
He grabbed his head in exasperation, suddenly he had an evil smirk on his lips. The smirk added a devilish charm to his already handsome face.
"You all think I would let you have your way with me. Dream on." He whispered slowly.
He sauntered over to the kitchen inside their penthouse.
His eyes seemed to bulge at the sight of the kitchen, "Where would I find it in this gigantic place?" He ran his fingers through his ash blonde hair. He messed it up.
He wandered inside like a baby duck not knowing where to go. He rummaged through the pristine kitchen cabinets.
The kitchen's interior included a multi-aspect island in black. It had a cooker on one side while the sink on the other. Adjacent to the island was a large glass french window. It gave a delightful and prominent view of NY. One dim yellow LED light under the cabinet.
A wide LED light bar on the top of the island. The handless, slab door cabinets created a smooth flow throughout the kitchen. Every corner of the kitchen was covered in black. There were some translucent mirror cabinets under the island.
And in this enormous place, he had to find a matchbox if they had it. Since the kitchen had a contemporary outlook. It would be hard to find a matchbox. Still, Zeki had a tiny bit of hope left in him.
He passed by and checked each cabinet. Only to be disappointed.
After wasting 10 minutes and having the same faith up till here, leaning on the left side of the island. He skimmed his eyes to the cabinets that were left to be inspected, "Maybe, I should just go and tell them. I should not be this childish. I must not be petty." He steadied his balance with his hands.
Drumming his fingers on the island top, they landed on a small rectangular box. He furrowed his eyes.
He attempted to outline its solid figure.
"A rectangular box? What's with this roughness?" Honestly, the number of times Zeki had stepped into the kitchen could be counted on one hand.
He wrapped his fingers around it, "What is this?" He kept thinking until his eyes saw the box.
Hence it was pretty normal and obvious for him to be bewildered.
He was flabbergasted. Dumbfounded.
"Damn it!! For this entire time, it was in front of me yet I didn't notice it."
He wished to slap some senses to his brain.
"Ugh!! I wasted so much time for nothing", Zeki had a beyond annoyed expression on his face.
Zeki stood up straight. He took deep breaths to wash away his anger and irritation. His distress was driven off the moment he remembered the remnants of the incident that happened to him in the previous week.
Immediately, a full smile blossomed onto his face.
"I wish she was here with me. I won't have to suffer this. She would have observed the matchbox at first glance."
He watched the sun setting. The blend of night and day was a feast to his eyes. It freshened him up.
Zeki closed his eyes and recalled the most beautiful incident of his life till now. Opening them, "I hope to succeed. I don't want to be whacked by them."
He trembled.
"No...no...no...He won't punish me. I have a valid reason for my actions. I will make him understand the severity of the news. The news I have can't be treated like trash."
Determined, he took the one matchstick out from the tiny box. He rubbed it against that red rough side and it lit off.
Before burning the matchstick, Zeki had moved away from there. He stood under the smoke detectors.
His plan was simple. He wanted to drench his four friends who refused to listen to him. It was a low key payback. He decided to use technology for his idea. He thought since smoke detectors inside the kitchen detect the burning smell then extinguish the flame. The shower sprays installed underneath the ceiling would start to downpour water. The water won't drain from the kitchen ceiling but the roof of the entire penthouse.
The holes for the water drainage were good enough to ensure that the fire won't spread out further.
Just a few seconds later after the matchstick lit, the smoke went upwards into the smoke detectors and it started to ring loudly.
Others outside the kitchen got anxious. They had uncertainty evident on their faces. They couldn't distinguish what happened.
The matchstick burnt completely soon. Zeki threw it on the marble floor before he got his fingers hurt from the flames.
He crushed the lasting matchstick with the back of his flippers.
"Thank God…"
Zeki sighed with relief.
"Thanks to my incredible hearing senses. I could hear the sound of others footsteps from far before they came and caught me like this. Otherwise….." He shuddered.
While Zeki had taken efforts to prank his friends. The girls had a different thing going on with them. They had more crises on their plates. Currently, the girls are suffering from a mini heart attack.

"Be careful!!!"
"What the f***"
"We're gonna be late!!!"
Diana shouted at the girls.
Her shout received glares from the three of them since Aza stood in a corner and enjoyed her friend's overreactions.
After some discussion, the girls agreed to climb down from their balcony using the ropes.
However, a problem arose when Ines had to glide.
