Nate couldn't comprehend what just happened. Lyon had it all, he had everything under control, he was still able to fight yet for some reason he didn't fight much.
While thinking about this, it was then that Nate remember his initial suggestion of sending one of his hordes to Ozzie's base to probably disclose where it is located.
However, this idea was shut down by him himself because he was not planning to send any of those close to him to do such a dangerous job that most likely will get them killed.
Unfortunately, Lyon has taken the matter into his hands and has already made up his mind. After his hands were chopped off, rather than healing them back, lyon decided to play helpless against this and in the end, Benny and Mandy eventually took him away.
Knowing fully well what Lyon's intent was, Nate was only now waiting in the commanding centre for a report from Lyon.
They have tried multiple times to reach out to him but there was no response. He was likely knocked out, regardless, this development has made some panic a bit.
Someone like Lynn, Lyon's sister was trying so hard to hold in her tears even to the extent she has to use her power on herself.
Everyone was sitting and was waiting for a report back but it has been hours yet no report has been made.
Nate would have at this point assumed Lyon was dead if not for the fact that his dot was still there on the horde map. And also one of the reasons he still was calm though was because the dot was partially moving at a slower pace.
Nate have assumed perhaps the teleportation process was one that leads to a random location and they are probably moving Lyon to their main base.
'Just you wait Ozzie... No matter what, you have fallen in it,' Nate thought.
---
A couple of times have passed, and as for the precise number, it was still unknown since he had just regained consciousness after a long time.
'I feel...weak!' lyon muttered to himself as he tried to look around but everywhere seems dark it took him a moment to adjust.
'Where am I?' he wondered. It was then memories started to flood into his mind as everything that happened lately started to appear back.
'Ohh... It seems like I made it... It's best if I contact the others,' Lyon thought.
However, it was then a blight light shown on his face forcing him to tilt his face to the side. Slowly he adjusted to the light as well.
"You are awake... Finally...!" the voice said happily. It was a man dressed in a doctor's garment. He had a long back hire that went all down to his shoulder. He was quite tall, taller than Lyon when standing.
Lyon looked at the man that just entered the cell with two other people he recognized as Benny and Mandy.
'I guess he's the one,' Lyon thought.
"You... Who are you guys and what do you want from me?" lyon decided to pretend.
"No worries... I will introduce myself,"
"I am Dr Ozzie, and you... You are one special person that I need in able to reach my goal," Ozzie said.
"I see... So you decide to kidnap me?" lyon asked.
"Kidnap you...? You were the ones that attacked me first, by the way, I will ignore your friends if only you will help me... So will you or should I go ahead and force you?" Ozzie asked.
Angered by this, Lyon in an attempt wanted to punch Ozzie, but it was then he noticed the shackles on his wrist. They restrained him from doing so, plus he had no energy on him.
"You see. I know someone like you is strong, I mean, someone capable of destroying a material made from a titan shell, what was I expecting? However, I am prepared."
"I have run a few experiments on your types and I can assure you I know your very limit. Every day, I will have your energy drained from you so that you won't be able to transform not to think of breaking out from those shackles," Ozzie bragged.
'I guess it was a good thing I didn't show them all I had, if not he should at least know that this is like setting barriers with thread,' Lyon thought.
"Now let's get back to businesses... Are you willing to work for me, or should I force you?" Ozzie asked.
Lyon looked Ozzie dead on into his eyes and spite at him. "Do your worse... I will never work for a coward like you... Get these chains off me and let me show you who the boss is," Lyon taunted.
Ozzie wiped off the spite and stood up... "I can see this is your answer... I hope you can endure pain because I'm going to make you feel it to the highest order," Ozzie said as he stood up and walked out of the cell.
The other two followed behind but Benny couldn't stop complaining.
"When will I get my powers back... He's definitely the one that took it away," Benny asked. However, after getting a sharp glance at Benny he couldn't say anything and just shut up.
"Speaking of... What happened to the Golgotha, I never got reports from the invasion?" Ozzie asked.
Mandy was a bit hesitant to speak but she still answered. "They never came back... We assume that the invasion was a failure"
"I don't actually know, but somehow, they manage to survive it all and are still functioning" Mandy answered.
"Really?... It seems like they have someone interesting there, in thinking we should try again and see how things will play out this time, perhaps fortune was on their side before," Ozzie said with a smile.
Although Lyon has rejected him, just in case things didn't work out, he will always look for an alternative solution to any problem.
Meanwhile, still, inside the cell, Lyon looked at the shackles holding him back. Two were on his legs while another was at his waist.
'You indeed did drain my energy, but I can always charge it up,' Lyon thought.
On his hand, the inventory space was assessed and soon a crystal appeared on his hand.
[Crystal has been absorbed]
[Energy full]
With the crystal turning into nothing but dust, Lyon's energy was back to what it used to be and he stood up firmly.
'I think it's best if I hear from the others about their plans first before acting,' Lyon concluded as he stretched his bones before sitting back in the cell.
Right now, he can break out of the cell if he wants but first, he had to know what Nate was planning.
