" Guys!! "
Shu yelled as he flew behind Ayami, Ana, Elena, Ezra and Arthur who was carrying Petra
" Oh! Shu! "
Arthur replied as he turned back, smiling over at the white haired boy who couldn't help but grin.
The two haven't seen each other in a year so it was a very nice reunion
" Did you already defeat Adrian? "
Elena questioned as everyone began ro slow down their flying speed, so that Shu could keep up
" Yeah, I was able to defeat him, but I think he was holding back "
Shu replied, as he slowly turned to look at Petra who stared at him in awe, his hair color was very odd to her and his appearance seemed divine like
" Oh, who's this? "
Shu questioned as he moved closer to Arthur so he could get a better look at the girl he was carrying
" Im Petra "
She replied, as Shu simply smiled, looking into her eyes for a few seconds before turning to look at Ayami
" What do you mean Adrian was holding back? "
Elena questioned, as Shu simply shrugged, looking over at the woman with a look of confusion
" He told me he couldn't use his ability on me anymore, but I don't know if he was lying or not "
The boy replied, as everyone around him turned to look forward, starting to think about what Shu just said
" Oh well, he's dead and gone, we shouldn't worry about him anymore "
Ana said, as she looked forward with a look of little care, she didn't know the guy, she had only heard stories of his strong and unbelievable ability to control kinetic energy.
" Okay, well, were you worried about me Ayami? "
Shu questioned as he reached down to her hand, taking a hold of it, only for Ayami's cheeks to turn red, making her turn away from embarrassment
" N-no, why would I be? "
She replied, as Shu simply sighed, trying to turn her face so she could look at him, but she refused, keeping her face away from his
" So you weren't worried about me at all? "
Shu questioned, causing Ayami to quickly turn to him, punching him right in hid stomach, relieving the poor boy of all his air, which took everyone by surprise
" That's not what I meant you idiot! I wasn't worried cause I knew you were gonna come back! "
Ayami yelled, pulling her hand away from Shu's hold, flying a few meters away from him
" What's up with her? "
Ezra questioned, as he watched Shu fly over ro the girl in an attempt to comfort her only to receive a kick to his face
" Yeah, I've never seen her act that way before—wait! Don't tell me— "
Arthur said, pausing mid sentence as he realized why Ayami reacted that way
" Are they dating!?! "
Arthur yelled, startling Petra who was being carried by him, only to then receive a smack to the back of his head by Ezra
" Shut up, Ayami will here you, im pretty sure you don't want to get knocked out, so lower your tone "
Ezra warned, as Arthur simply nodded, only to look down, seeing Petra glaring at him
" If you're going to carry me at least don't give me a bumpy ride "
Petra said, whisky Arthur nervously smiled, nodding a little before being interrupted by Elena's voice
" Everyone stop "
Elena ordered as she stopped in front of what seemed to be a continental sized floating orb of energy
" What the fuck is that? "
Arthur questioned as he stared at the orb. It had rainbow like color, and its surfaced moved, similar to that of rotating planet
" Watch out! "
Ana yelled as a hand randomly emerged from the orb, stretching out, going straight for Ezra, taking grip of his entire body, only to pull him back, absorbing the man into itself
" what the hell just happened "
Shu questioned as he stared at the orb, backing away from Ayami, flying closer to it, only to dodge a hand that flew out of the orb
" Hmm, everyone get ready "
Shu said, as he watched whilst multiple hands began to form from the orb, stretching out like tentacles
" What even is that? "
Ana questioned as she watched the hands move, only for them to suddenly dash toward the group, opening themselves as if to prepare to catch them
" Heh "
Shu chuckled a little only to dash toward one of the hands, grabbing it by its fingers, flying into the orb voluntarily, dragging the hand along with him
" That idiot! "
Ayami said, only to fly after the boy, submerging herself into the orb, making everyone who was outside, all except Petra, sigh, as they knew that Shu had just dragged them into an annoying problem
" We might as well go inside "
Ana said, only to receive a nod of approval from both Elena and Arthur. The hands would then, grab onto the four of them, dragging them into the or
" Uh, where the hell am i? "
Shu questioned, as the hand he took grab of began to disappear, turning into particles that would then merge with the ground.
The boy began to look around, taking notice of the most obvious things, which were two, the first was that he found himself in what seemed to be an island surrounded with lava.
The second was that the sky was green, there was no sun or moon, only oddly shaped stars, that flew slowly around the sky
" Is this what the orb looks from the inside? "
Shu questioned, as he began to look around, taking into account the smallest details about the island, which was the trees with fruits, and tiny volcanos the size of a toddler
" Hmm, well if it is, this is a very odd place "
The boy said to himself only to be interrupted right when he was about to grab one of the weirdly shaped fruits from the trees.
Petra was falling from the sky, screaming as she didn't know how to fly like the others
" Oh, that girl "
Shu whispered as he would then leap into the air, catching Petra with ease, only to land on the ground with a smile on his face
" Hey "
