"So Altima how exactly do we think from the perspective of technology? That just seems dumb especially when this has only ever been a challenge around questions." Diamond angrily stated as she was getting annoyed
"On the surface yes, but think for a second what does technology have to do with the ability to answer questions or the willpower to continue without food?" Lloyd questioned his fellow wolves, they sat there thinking about his question trying to figure out if there was really an answer, it wasn't until Jessica got a light bulb realizing the truth of the event, she had written done every question that had been asked in hopes of finding something and she did,
"It's a puzzle! Every question has a key word that is connected to specific weapons, look the first five questions creates a dagger, another 5 it's a spear, another 5 it's a sword. They've been given us blueprints to specific weapons for the Vultures because that's their job, not to rid the group of their trump card but rather to get rid of the only wolves who can discover the puzzle." Jessica answered as the others were making sense of what she said before John spoke up,
"But what does this have to do with technology? I mean seems like it's Sun based to me which was the last event." He questioned as Jessica fired back
"It's simple when the Vulture go after a specific group they're looking for that specific weapon, we have to make it out of the things around us, we're not forced to sleep but rather asked to because it's a trick."
"Okay but what's the next weapon then Jess?"
"With the 4 questions that were given the weapon they want is a shield, but we can't let anyone else know what we're up to, so what I need is a few rocks, some sticks and mud. If we're lucky we might need to make it extremely durable so grab a lot of mud."
With those instructions, everyone nodded before watching closing until it was time to sleep, Lloyd acted quickly and grabbed some rocks around the place being quiet at the same time making sure not to wake someone up, John was going around different trees and gathering up sticks, Westen was using his water to create mud and gather it into specific shapes and pieces for the shield. As the boys arrived back with Diamond and Jessica making blueprints, Jess was pleased with the items and got to work on the shield after it was finished she looked in Diamond's direction and nodded her head, Diamond created a barrier around the shield lifting it up and down watching as it went up and down not breaking by some miracle at least that's what John believed from the look in his eyes. It was clearly a test to make sure that the shield was durable enough for an attack and right on queue the Vultures arrived,
"Well what do we have here a bunch of wolves, let's see if you were paying attention!" The masked wolf said, he was extremely big and muscular seemed like the kind of guy who was lifting weights at age 7
"Careful there Fred these are the Alpha children they know what the puzzle has been this far." Another masked wolf claimed as Fred stepped back a little
"R-right, especially with that monster of an Altima… yo freak boy think you can handle a punch or 2?" Fred question as he got into that of a karate stance
Lloyd looked confused for a bit before copying the same exact stance, when Fred threw a shot with a high punch, Lloyd countered perfectly with a high block, this went on for some time, Fred tried to using different combos, until Lloyd fired back copying his exact moves with it's counter, Lloyd had been throwing Fred's defense off to the point he went on the offensive,
"Holy cow this kid just copied my entire fighting style! It took me years to master this but this kid learned in a matter of seconds?! He truly is a monster no wonder so many of the Alphas couldn't handle him." Fred thought to himself as he eventually ended up on the ground due to the power in Lloyd's attacks, his strikes had gotten faster and stronger than when they started, the other masked wolf was impressed with Lloyd's skill, he directed his attention towards the others eventually noticing the shield striking it as Westen held it,
"Well done seems like you Alphas are truly what your parents claim you are, wonderful job." The masked wolf claimed as he started to fade away "But know this the challenge ahead will be far greater than the first 2."
The Alphas stood confused on his final words, Fred had also began to fade away causing Lloyd to stop fighting, "What just happened…it was like I wasn't in control of my movements it was like…I already knew what I was doing…could this be the Altimas of the past?" Lloyd questioned to himself as the other Alphas looked in his direction noticing his confusion and lack of attention towards the situation,
"Yo Lloyd you alright?" John asked as he walked over to Lloyd. Lloyd snapped out of his thoughts looking towards the others,
"Y-yeah sorry just thinking about something… so what's next any guesses?"
