The people rushed in a frenzy, anxiety as well as enthusiasm towards the town square. At another place, Muro swiftly gathered his army.
These were the people who live in this cluster but had been captured by the Dark Lord and 'trained' in the caves for three days before being released back into the society. This was going to be their first assignment.
"We don't know what his plan is, but we have to stop him at all costs!" He roared to them.
"Commander, he's heading to the town square, that's where all people are headed!" A man whispered to Muro.
"Great! Listen up! We all fly into the town square and beat the hell out of that guy! He's just one man, he can't defeat us all! Let us go!" Muro ordered.
Meanwhile, Linda and Claire had reached Frank. Finally Linda's communication device had successfully delivered a message to Frank to which he had responded.
"We are glad to have found you this quick!" Linda said as she rushed out of her falcon vehicle towards Frank. Claire was behind her, out of breath.
"I guess you two already bought the GPF, but I hope you haven't used it yet!" Frank began.
"No, we haven't used it yet. Frank, please tell us how this powder enslaves the user to the Dark Lord!" Linda spoke fast.
"And how you are planning to help all those who have already used it!" Claire added.
"We don't have much time for much explanations! I warned you not to be even in contact with it!" Frank said.
"Frank, we are sorry we didn't listen to you but we are here ready to help you with whatever it is that you want to do!" Linda said.
"Great, now listen. The powder only takes a few minutes to make you an advanced subject but one has to endure great excruciating pain for that while. After that you rush through the stages to become Ordinary Subject Advance. This is regardless of which evolution stage you are at the moment," Frank explained briskly.
The girls nodded in comprehension although their eyes sparkled in surprise.
"Wow! That's really catchy!"
Definitely, everyone would want that! A quick simple way to rise all the way from Primary 1 evolver to Primary 3, without the dangers of missions and hunting.
"Yeah, though the name sounds catchy its effects would be so extreme after the incubation period. That's why we have to help as many people as possible to be free of the GPF from their systems!" Frank spoke candidly to the two.
"Is there a way to cure them of this stuff if they have already used it?" Claire asked concerned. Linda also held her breath as she waited for the answer.
Frank looked at the masses of people arriving at the town square.
This was merely an E-Class cluster and therefore did not have a great number of people. But ten thousand was still a large number.
How many could have used the green powder from the Dark Lord?
Would Frank be able to free them from such a trap?
How is he going to do that?
That is the most disturbing question these two had.
Frank looked back at them then shifted his eyes to a certain hilly area.
"There is some hope!" he began. Slowly, Frank turned and looked at them. "But you must help me!" he said firmly.
The girls looked blankly at him not knowing what to do or say.
"Follow me and do exactly as I tell you," he directed and they obediently followed.
Almost everyone who had watched the Livestream arrived at the town square. Most looked anxious and curious to find out who that jacket guy was. Some talked to their friends when they bumped into one another.
"Frank, I think everyone is here," Linda began hoping to hear Frank telling her what he expects her to do.
"They are too many!"
They simply could not see how Frank was going to help them get rid of the GPF.
Unless by a miracle.
"I suppose more than half the cluster is here! All these people, how are you going to cure them?" Claire repeated her worries.
Frank just stood gazing at the people as they gathered. Nobody apart from the two girls knew that he was the one who had gathered them there. So nobody bothered coming to where he stood.
But he was not just standing idle there.
Frank opened his inner consciousness, that central place where he communicates with Noel. In this mode, his view transformed and he appeared in a virtual world where he stood with Noel. There, they could converse and even exchange tools which would then appear in his SpiritCube. The integrated mode, he named it.
Currently they stood holding hands.
"Don't worry, this would buy you enough time to get to the next phase!" Noel said.
"Yeah, I believe it will work!" Frank responded.
Just then, Muro and his team arrived.
