Every second Ace spent with his skills active took a toll on his energy so he needed to act as fast as possible. While doing so, he also had to make sure to keep Sky safe until he found a place where she could rest, regain her energy and where they'd try to figure out what happened to her.
"Stay put, Sky," He said with his arms turning into larger, blood red arms with claws. "If you need me, just scream. I'll hear you."
[Blood Step activated.]
With his fists folded, Ace and a groundhog run to each other at full speed with their claws ready to slash at each other. However, Ace could see the beast's move a mile away, so when he almost got close enough, he jumped a few inches above its head and landed with a powerful punch to its head.
His partial transformation doubled the stats on whatever body part the skill was used, so in this case, his strength was two times the original number it was on.
The impact from his punch didn't shatter the beast's skull but it did however manage to daze it, making its vision blurry while its head grew extremely heavy. Ace used this opportunity and clawed at its eyes, thus taking away its vision.
The groundhog bleed as it cried in immense pain. Two more groundhogs surrounded Ace as they each attempted to jump at him. Ace quickly used blood drain from the blind groundhog and redirected the blood to the beasts that jumped at him in the form of small blood spikes.
The spikes impaled the hogs and made them grow extremely weak while Ace finished all of them by draining every single drop of blood to the point where he had a large ball of blood hovering over his head.

[Blood Weapon]
[Description: Blood Weapon's a skill that's been running for generations in the blood mutant bloodline. This skill enables the user to make a weapon and permanently keep it without being in their blood mutant form. However, the weapon can be turned back into raw blood at the creator's wish and if it happens that the creator dies, the weapon goes with him/her.]
Since there wasn't anything else he could use the blood for, Ace decided to turn it into a weapon of his choice.
[ERROR: Your skill cannot forge a weapon from this great amount of blood. Please use a smaller amount.]
"What the….Oh, I get it now. The stronger I get, the stronger my weapons become." He said to himself as he dropped the blood ball far from him, but made sure to consume some and make a blood weapon. "Alright, Ace. Let's see what we can whip up." He said to himself.
[Blood Weapon Activated.]
Ace waved his wrists and watched as the blood changed from its thick, solid state into a long, shiny, red katana with a sharp blade. When he cancelled the skill, the blade still stayed in his hands, looking as sharp as ever.
Ace couldn't get his eyes off his blade as he turned it over multiple times to admire its slick design. He then looked at one of the dead groundhog bodies and decided to give his sword a test run. However, as soon as he swung it on the creature's body, it shattered into pieces as if it were made of glass.
[To make your weapons stronger, you must strengthen your body, mind, and skills.]
"Thanks system. I got it." He rolled his eyes.
"Ace…" Sky called out whilst on the floor with her hands on her stomach and chest. "Please, get me some food." She pleaded. Ace quickly rushed over to her side and looked at her body's sorry state. She looked like she hadn't eaten in weeks and her skin starting changing into a light purple, whiteish color.
"Hang on tight, Sky," He carried her. "I'll get you back to the base." Just as he was about to run back to the base, he felt a great thud coming from behind him, followed by a gentle breeze that blew a dust cloud toward him and Sky.
He slowly turned around to see what the cause of it was, only for his eyes to lock with a certain black Granian's.
"Thought you'd escape, huh?" The black scaled Granian said with his deep, base filled voice. "I've finally found you, Ace Under Wood. I have your sister to thank."

As soon as Grim landed, he quickly scanned the entire region he was in, thanks to his superior alien technology. Unfortunately, he only got the name Ace from Cherry but he also had a picture of how Ace looked like.
A few minutes passed and he managed to find where Ace was supposably hiding, the ArkVille Military Base. While his men fought the humans, he used that distraction and ran straight for the base with his monstrous speed that surpassed those of Gifted people with speed abilities.
While running, he did encounter a couple of people who tried challenging him. Since he was still enjoying the planets and its view, he decided to tag along with them.
One particular kid thought they had a chance going against Grim, and this was none other than Jason, a Gifted boy with the lighting ability. The praise he got from the base for being strong became too much that he thought he'd be able to kill Grim.
"Stand back guys," He said to the others behind him. "This one's mine."
"Grgh shar nokra eh." Grim said in his language, knowing well that neither Jason nor the other humans around him understood a single word he said.
"Leave out planet you alien piece of shi..." While Jason was still angrily cursing, Grim dashed to the boy with his large hand holding his face. He quickly slammed it into the ground with a creepy smile of enjoyment on his face.
Jason quickly grabbed Grim's arm and sent an electrical surge through his body, but the alien didn't seem to be moved at all. "Your arrogance and stupidity will get you killed, boy." Grim said in his language as he slowly dug his claw into Jason's shoulder.
He then lifted him off the ground by his head, smiled at him and slammed him down again using so much energy that blood came out of his mouth. With that over, Grim continued running until he saw the orange haired boy carrying a girl in his arms. He jumped very high and landed behind Ace with a grin on his face.
"At last," Grim said. "I have found you, Ace Underwood.
