Mok and Lucca arrived at the site where the mysterious phenomenon seemed to originate. They observed as several hands emerged from the ground, appearing to be extensions of something larger and darker. "It seems these hands are coming from... this," Mok thought aloud, cautiously inspecting the terrain.Suddenly, several giant arms erupted from the ground, and from them sprouted dozens of hands that attempted to grab the two men. Just as they were about to be captured, Rykaru appeared from the sky, falling like a meteor onto one of the hands and knocking it to the ground with a powerful impact."I’ve got this!" exclaimed the small white orb with determination, moving swiftly among the dark hands."Alright, I’ll leave it to you. I'll go after Master Paltio, Lukeandria, and the carriage," Mok said firmly, nodding before heading toward the cabin."Are you sure about leaving that squishy thing to fight those hands?" Lucca asked skeptically, watching as Rykaru dodged and attacked the creatu

From the light emerged a being cloaked in a purple radiance, accompanied by the new Rykaru. Both descended toward the onlookers with an almost ethereal grace."Rykaru, is that you?" Paltio asked, his eyes wide with astonishment."Hi, Daddy," Rykaru replied, scratching the back of his neck shyly. "What do you think? Now I have hands and legs, and I look kind of like you—but smaller.""Right, Daddy!" Rykaru added with childlike enthusiasm. "Look at my new body. Plus, I'm strong and fast, just like you.""That’s right," Paltio said, smiling proudly as he gazed at the little one. "You’re strong—maybe even stronger than me.""Yeah, and it's all thanks to him!" Rykaru exclaimed, pointing to the glowing purple figure beside him."And you are…?" Paltio asked, turning his attention to the mysterious visitor.At that moment, Lucca stepped forward, bowing slightly as if paying homage to the luminous being. "My dear Lord Serlet," he said, his voice reverent."No need for that, young man. I have a

"I can’t believe it… Do you think the stealth and vanishing techniques you taught me will work?" Lukeandria whispered, her voice barely audible."Of course, my dear. I’m an excellent teacher. Naturally, they’ll work," Lume replied calmly, his voice resonating in Lukeandria’s mind like a soothing breeze.She reached the main tank, the largest of the three vehicles. Upon entering, she discovered an impressive laboratory, its table scattered with reports. She quickly began scanning them, aware of the potential importance of the information they contained."Golden, can you hear me? I know you’re out there listening," Lukeandria said, closing her eyes to focus."Here I am. What do you need?" Golden responded telepathically, his mental voice firm but distant."You can record everything from my memory—these documents—so you can analyze them later and figure out what they mean," Lukeandria explained as she carefully flipped through each page."Got it," Golden replied, beginning to access what

It was a peaceful world, full of joy, where animals lived in perfect harmony. Badgers, weasels, hamsters, rats, mice, opossums, viscachas, and even guinea pigs coexisted peacefully. Some worked hard, while others simply enjoyed life. However, among them was a small badger whom the entire community shunned. His peculiar appearance and unique way of seeing the world made him stand out—but not in a positive way. The others saw him as strange, someone different.The young badger carried a deep sadness in his heart. No one wanted to play with him or listen to his ideas. In his mind, he dreamed of greatness—concepts that others could not comprehend. Though he rarely spoke, his mind was a whirlwind of creative thoughts, visions that led him to imagine things far beyond what others considered possible. But this very difference isolated him.Finally, he decided to embark on a journey alone. He would leave his hometown, the place where he had always felt out of place. With quiet determination,

"So... That’s how it all began," Chiro asked Meloc, who had recounted the origins of the shadows with a mix of reverence and cynicism."That’s right," Meloc replied, adjusting his glasses as he looked at the young humanoid hamster with a calculating expression. "According to what I’ve been instructed since joining this team, and based on the story told by the seven members of the Shadow Council, it was Urugas who lifted us from our misery." He paused, as if savoring each word before continuing. "Of course, I’ve summarized some parts, but in essence, that’s how it happened: with our help, Lord Urugas will return from his prison. All of this occurred because of Avocios and their guardians, who locked him away after an epic battle to free this world. Though we won the war, our lord remains imprisoned, waiting for the moment to return and reveal his true self. We all eagerly await that day."Chiro frowned, processing the information. Then, with a hesitant tone, he asked, "But then, why do
