A hooded figure strode with determined steps across the desolate sand desert, pulling a sled with a sturdy rope tied around its waist. The coat that swathed its entirely billowed in the wind, concealing any distinctive features beneath layers of thick fabric. Each step was heavy, yet it neither faltered nor slowed its pace. Its resolve seemed unshakable.

Finally, it reached what appeared to be the entrance of a cave. With precise movements, it untied the rope and removed the tarp covering the sled. Beneath it lay three figures: Alita, Ron, and Zor. The latter was bound hand and foot, a gag muffling his mouth.

The figure paused, pulling back its hood and mask to reveal its face. The dim light of the cave barely illuminated its profile, but its deep, authoritative voice resonated like an imposing echo.

It approached Zor slowly and, without ceremony, tore off its gag. "Speak," it commanded in a tone that brooked no defiance. "What were you doing to these youngsters alongside that foolish

"Chip, it really is you! I'm so glad you’re alive!" Paris exclaimed, tears in her eyes as she ran toward him. Her voice trembled with emotion, and when she reached him, she hugged him tightly, as if afraid he might disappear again."So, is that him?" 'X' asked, watching as Paris excitedly approached Chip. His tone was calm but laced with curiosity."Yes, it’s him," Karpi confirmed, adjusting the special glasses he wore. "I’d recognize him from a mile away," he added proudly, tapping his lenses. "These let me see details others wouldn’t notice.""Enough," the leader commanded firmly, and everyone obeyed immediately. The chaos of the battlefield gave way to an awkward yet hopeful silence.Chiki and Nakia, for their part, were relieved to see Alita and Ron among those present. Nakia was the first to approach, smiling broadly. Chiki, though more reserved, also felt relief—though he wouldn’t admit it easily."Wow, kids, we thought you were dead," Nakia said sincerely, placing one of her wi

"Imminent danger! We're under attack! Everyone to your combat stations! Danger, danger!" a voice blared inside the base. A soldier in a partially assembled battle suit sprinted toward their leader, carrying the urgent alert. "Sir 'X', we’re under attack," he reported breathlessly."Thank you, soldier," the leader replied calmly, though his eyes betrayed concern. Without wasting a moment, he issued precise orders: "Gikel, Ludra, move to support." The two exchanged a quick glance before rushing off to the battlefield."Karpi, you’re with me. Let’s see what weapons we can use against the enemy," 'X' instructed."Yes, sir!" Karpi responded, following closely as they headed toward the armory.Outside, chaos had already erupted. Resistance soldiers fired arrows from above, aiming them at Rodelos, who wielded a giant shield to protect his companions. Ron, clad in armor, shielded Alita as she unleashed magical attacks from behind him."Didn’t you say they’d welcome us with open arms?" Ron ask

"Hey, Paltio’s grandfather," Ron began as they walked in a line alongside others who had been rescued from Pinkertalia, "This place is way too hot. Even though there’s no sun thanks to Tejod, the weather is still scorching and oppressive." He paused for a moment to wipe the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.Rodelos, who led the group with steady strides, turned his head slightly toward Ron. A faint smile crossed his face. "Well now, boy, I always thought you were the strongest. But I see you’re acting like a Trishap."Ron frowned, offended. "A Trishap? I’m nothing like that! I’m strong!" he exclaimed, lifting his gaze with determination. However, his words rang more like a defense of his pride than a confident declaration. He resumed walking, gritting his teeth as he kept his thoughts to himself."A Trishap is an animal with the head of a chicken and the body of a monkey," Alita explained to Chip with an amused smile. "They’re very cowardly creatures.""I see," Chip r

94.The Hidden Place, Resistance?
"Is there another god besides Avocios?" Golden wondered aloud, his voice thoughtful. "Perhaps one of his brothers... Who could this Serlet be that Lucca mentioned so much?"Golden continued to ponder in silence as he watched Paltio train with Toco-Toco. The purple light Lucca described, and the fact that this being had gifted such valuable weaponry, intrigued him deeply. "Who could it be? And why would one of Avocios’s siblings be around here?" he questioned himself, searching for answers in his mind but finding no clear conclusion.Meanwhile, Paris and Kilibur were arriving in a frozen desert. The landscape was desolate: enormous dunes covered in ice shimmered under the faint moonlight, and the icy air cut like invisible blades.Paris stopped in front of the group. "We must dismount and follow a narrow path on foot," she instructed calmly.Kilibur nodded and dismissed the illusory horses with an elegant gesture. Without wasting time, they began to make their way along the narrow trai
93.A Forgotten Warrior
The young man, the youngest of the Red Chili group, approached Lucca directly, knife in hand. Mok was about to intervene, but everyone was left stunned as they watched the old man deflect the attack with surprising speed and, without hesitation, deliver a slap that sent the attacker flying through the air.Lucca, leaning on his good leg, leaped high into the air—like a kangaroo—directly toward the other men, who stood frozen in shock. With an agile movement, he landed in the center of the four remaining thugs and, with a swift gesture, reclaimed his cane.Once he had his cane in hand, Lucca seemed like a different man. The four men snapped out of their daze, and one of them—the leader—shouted, "After him, boys!"Calmly, Lucca pressed a hidden mechanism on his cane, which instantly extended in length and anchored itself to the ground like a stake. Using this advantage, he began spinning on the cane, using his good leg to deliver precise kicks to each of those who tried to approach. Qui
