Two individuals rode black bikes with 'police' written on them in white letters while driving towards the forest area.
These two individuals were Dexter and Leo. Although Leo wasn't too happy that he was going to explore with Dexter alone, he didn't have a choice.
Dexter sighed as he focused on riding the bike as he remembered what colonel Chapman said this morning.
...
Dexter woke up early as usual today and warmed up a little, doing his daily exercises to make sure he stays in shape.
Beatrice arrived that time and took Rina and Zain away to find more people to train while telling him and Leo to meet the colonel.
The guards at the door minded themselves and didn't block Dexter or Leo as they knew that both of them were part of the exploration team.
Besides, the second guy remembered the slap he recieved before so he made sure to act respectful.
When they got to the colonel's living room they saw him in a pajama and he was drinking coffee.
Weird, cause he can't fight in it.
"So. It looks like you guys would have to do the exploration today. Chapman and his men went into Heaven's tower and he also planned to get information from the fairy so he's going to take some time."
When Leo heard this he immediately looked at Dexter with furrowed brows. Dexter saw this at the corner of his eyes and he sighed as he knew that today would be very long.
"Don't go too deep into the forest, I think you guys should just explore the external Periphery."
...
That's how Dexter and Leo ended up in this situation, riding towards the forest on top of police bikes.
'I never rode a bike before. This one is quite easy to control though.' Dexter thought as he then silently rode his bike while enjoying being able to feel the sun normally and the wind brushing against his face.
Leo and Dexter stopped at a building which wasn't far away from their destination, it was just twenty metres away from the forest.
They both parked their bikes there without saying a thing to each other and Leo walked ahead of Dexter with a cold expression on his face.
'This dude is so childish. I won't blame him though, he was left in an orphanage when he was 10... or was it 12, I can't remember.' Dexter thought while gaining speed to reach Leo.
"Hey Leo–"
"Don't talk to me." Leo said, not allowing Dexter to say whatever he wanted to.
Although Dexter was stunned, he calmed down as he followed Leo closely.
"I know you like Rina." Dexter smirked.
Leo stopped in his tracks as he turned around to see Dexter smirking like an evil mastermind.
"How did you know?" Leo questioned.
He was sure that he didn't show it too much.
"Zain told me." Dexter shrugged and Leo wanted to burn right now.
"Zain, that piece of... I told him to keep it a secret." Leo looked at a tree and banged it hard, causing a loud sound to echo all through the forest.
Dexter then sighed.
"I think we should leave here. Other creatures are most likely to come here after hearing that." Dexter said and leapt into the trees and Leo followed.
Jumping from tree to tree they finally made it to a safe distance and sure enough, a few creatures began to gather around the spot where the sound came from.
There were wolves as tall as humans and some lizards on trees looking like alligators, but they still had their slim, flexible figure.
Dexter was really amazed that animals too evolved into aboriginals during the tiran impact.
He was amazed by the variety of creatures there and he saw that some of them killed the other and soon, all of them began attacking each other after a while.
The rats which were now as big as footballs were taken out by the wolves, but the lizards climbed up the tree and escaped. Wolves teamwork was still respectable even after becoming monsters.
"Damn. No titan showed up." Leo mumbled as he surveyed the area, dissapointed that no titan was in the area. "Let's keep searching the area."
Leo then leapt to another tree and began to jump from one tree to the other while scanning the area, they did as they were told and didn't enter the forest too much and stayed close to the exterior of the forest.
"Still nothing." Dexter sighed as he sat on a tree branch and breathed tiredly.
Leo sat down beside him nervously.
"Do you plan to tell her?" Leo asked Dexter and he understood what Leo meant by that.
"I'm not a snitch." Dexter replied calmly as he looked around them with his advanced eyesight.
"Oh." Leo smiled for the first time in a while.
"You hurt her that time she chased after you." Dexter said a while later and Leo looked at him.
"I just didn't want her to get too close to you. The way you guys flirted that night made me feel unnoticed and pushed away." Leo revealed and Dexter was shocked at how the insecure, cold, handsome Leo was talking to him very normally right now.
"Don't worry. I have no plans of getting intimate with her. I have a girlfriend out there somewhere." Dexter assured Leo and Leo looked at him with a smile, hearing that Dexter already had a girlfriend.
"That's nice. But I still don't trust your words." Leo said.
"How about this..." Dexter said and Leo looked at him. "I can help you get her. In return you stop hating me."
"I don't hate you. Just a little jealousy here and there." Leo shrugged.
'Jealousy? Those death glares don't look like they were caused by Jealousy?' Dexter wished that Leo could see himself when he was giving Dexter a death glare.
"And you can help me get her? How?" Leo doubted Dexter's words.
"I know a lot about girls and I'm confident that I can link you up." Dexter smirked and Leo still doubted it as Rina was naive about a lot of things.
*ROAARRR...!!!*
A loud roar interrupted their discussion and then they saw a large monster come out from a thick bunch of trees.
Dexter's eyes shone widely as they finally found something interesting.
'A titan.'
