Podbe began to attack the two monstrous moles with fierce energy, while Lidia, along with the others, hurried to pull Eduard away from the battlefield. Each blow from the colossal creatures shook the hallway, breaking the walls and widening the surrounding space. Fortunately, the columns remained intact; otherwise, the ceiling would have collapsed on top of them, burying them under tons of rubble.

Billy, always vigilant, approached the sign that read, “You are here,” with an arrow pointing to the second floor of the inverted pyramid. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the laboratory was located on the seventh level. He looked at the others with urgency and said:

—We need to go down to reach Aiden.

However, everyone was absorbed in Podbe’s battle. Even Maria, who usually maintained a serious demeanor, couldn’t help but get distracted watching the little canine fight with bravery. Billy felt a pang of admiration as well, but quickly grabbed Maria by the hand to bring her back to

    The other part of the elevator, which had been launched to the right, began spinning like an out-of-control top, colliding violently with every wall it hit and descending at great speed. Adia tried to stand up, but every time she did, she fell again due to the violent impacts of the apparatus against the surrounding structures. At one point, she began murmuring words as her staff started to glow with a faint but steady light. In a firm voice, she instructed those present to gather around her. The others, stumbling and struggling against the erratic movement of the elevator, managed to come together around her. She looked toward what appeared to be a door and threw a glowing card in that direction. Instantly, everyone began to fade away while the remains of the elevator continued spiraling downward. They were teleported directly to the door where Adia had thrown the card.“Are you all alright?” asked Adia, her voice filled with concern as she looked at the others.<

    Ezequiel turned to Rino with a direct question:“How skilled are you at shooting?”Rino responded with pride, his stance firm and confident:“I’m the best in my class, sir.”Ezequiel pointed upward, where a cabin stood out among the shadows.“See that cabin up there? Apparently, that guy controls the monster that keeps regenerating. If you hit him, you’ll scare him, and he might lose control for a moment.”“Sure, sir. Yes, sir,” replied Rino, adjusting his position as he drew a compact pistol from behind his waist. It was equipped with a small sight, ready to carry out the order.However, Adia intervened calmly but firmly:“Wait. If you want to take out whoever’s up there, give me the gun.”Rino frowned, skeptical.“Do you even have precision, ma’am?”Adia smiled faintly, as if the question were unnecessary.“It’s not precision I need, but teleportation magic. I can end this game right now.”Rino hesitated, gripping the weapon tightly.“But don’t you need to see the location to use yo

    Eduard shielded himself with his gloves, bracing for the impact. However, before he could react, the beings advancing toward them began to melt like wax under a scorching sun. The onlookers were astonished by the sight; it seemed they wouldn’t have to fight, or at least the battle would be easier than facing the moles.The room’s light shifted from blue to green in an instant, and a speaker emerged from the floor. A menacing voice boomed from it, laced with threats: “Intruders! What are you doing here? Leave now, or I won’t hold back. This is your final warning.” Maria tried to explain that they were only trying to reach the laboratory, located on the top floor of this inverted pyramid, because they needed to rescue their friend. The voice responded coldly: “There is no one here, and you will not leave this floor.” It then erupted into a thunderous laugh that echoed off the walls.Suddenly, the speaker disappeared beneath the f

    The kids followed the cable to a kind of cabin hidden behind one of the columns. Suddenly, Lidia swiftly pulled out her weapon and attached a silencer. She carefully aimed at the door’s lock and fired, breaking it without making a sound.At that moment, when Podbe shattered the jaw the entity held in its right hand, the sphere on the creature’s head turned a deep red, signaling its fury. It began to advance rapidly, wielding the only jaw it had left in its left hand. Quickly, Podbe dodged it and used his ability again, destroying the entity’s last weapon. From inside Podbe, Reia announced: “Minus ten mana points, eighty remain.”Podbe wondered why the system hadn’t sent any alerts during the fight. Reia, however, had no answer to that question.The entity continued to move vigorously. “This isn’t over yet, boy,” warned Reia. Eduard, observing closely, thought the being’s power resided in the sphere on its head. He quickly stood up and signaled to Podbe to destroy the sphere, apparentl

    Adia knew a little about the project from what Master Mike had told them, but the Metalux hadn’t mentioned anything about it.“Ah! I don’t know much about them either,” Gin responded, “but the only thing I do know is that they are beings with diverse powers. Possibly, the child they took has the power to reopen the other side and transfer that power to others.”“Like us?” Ezequiel interrupted curiously. “I thought those practices had disappeared when they dismantled Doctor Laos’s plans, and he died in the explosion at the Xerox company, though they never found his body.”“Ah! You’re referring to Doctor Emerson Laos, the pioneer, the creator of the Blue Door Project and Nebula, which were successful, unlike Project Odysseus, which they’re now reactivating because of his son, Doctor Richard Laos,” Gin commented."So the doctor had a son." Adia paused thoughtfully after the

    When our friends were heading straight toward their final destination, something unexpected happened. The cart ended up falling directly into a pool. One of the sharks tore it apart with its teeth but found nothing inside. “How impossible!” exclaimed the voice in frustration. “Where are they? How could they have disappeared? When did they do it?”Everyone was precariously hanging from what appeared to be a kind of ledge. At the last second, before plummeting to what seemed like their doom, Podbe activated his detective ability and spotted that overhang on the ceiling. With a sharp bark and a penetrating gaze, he made Eduard understand what they needed to do. Eduard looked up at the ceiling and urgently instructed everyone: “Quick, grab onto me!”“What about Podbe?” asked Billy with concern.“He knows what to do,” Eduard replied confidently.Everyone clung to one another, forming a human chain: Lidia and Elena hung from Eduard’s waist; Maria and Billy from his legs; and Dani from one o

    Once Don Richi was defeated, the rest of the group emerged from their hiding place thanks to Eduard signaling them with a light, turning something on and off that Lidia recognized well due to the training she was undergoing to become an agent.Everyone gathered, including Dani, who approached the motionless body of Don Richi and shouted: "That's what happens when you mess with me, ha, ha!" The others stared at him with piercing expressions, causing Dani to lower his head and mutter: "Well, they did it," before retreating behind Eduard."What’s next?" Lidia asked Eduard in a firm but calm tone.He turned to Dani and asked if they should also bring this person along. The scientist shook his head."We just need to get into the machine room that activates the door for the next level and the ID card he has," Dani explained, nervously adjusting his glasses."We saw that the door came out of that wall. The control center must be there. Quickly, look

    The group arrived at the door to enter the sixth floor. They used Richi’s card to open it and stepped inside cautiously. The door closed automatically as the last of them entered. The space was vast, with an intricate labyrinth featuring five distinct paths, each flanked by what appeared to be rooms. The walls were covered in a cold, metallic material, and the air carried an indefinable yet unsettling scent, as if the very environment was warning them they didn’t belong there.Billy was the first to notice something unusual: along one of the paths came several toy fire trucks. “Look, remote-controlled cars!” he thought, immediately excited. Maria also felt a spark of curiosity as she watched them approach. However, their excitement quickly faded when the toy trucks began firing a freezing liquid. Dani reacted instantly, stepping in front of Billy and taking the hit. Before Maria could protest, Dani’s body began to crystallize into ice, his features frozen in an expression of surprise.

    Everyone present on Paul and Vera’s ship began donning dark camouflage suits, adjusting their weapons and accessories with precise and methodical movements. The atmosphere was thick with tension but also determination.“In the end, we had to go with Plan B. We should have done it from the start,” Paul muttered as he finished equipping himself with the last of the mission gear. His voice carried a barely concealed tone of frustration, as if internally grappling with the feeling of having lost control of the situation.Meanwhile, at the orphanage, night slowly descended upon the building. The director, known to all as the Mother Superior, stood before the children, who were gathered in perfectly aligned rows. With her characteristic serenity, she spoke the phrase that always accompanied their nightly farewells:“Everyone has the opportunity to have a new beginning. No matter where you are heading, if you move forward with love and happiness, you will always find a new dawn.”Her words r

    Lieutenant Paul Fernandez drove alongside his team toward the location of the orphanage where Aiden had come from. The ship that transported them landed at the designated spot. With a metallic hiss, the door opened slowly. Paul stepped out with firm strides, closely followed by a companion whose face had also been altered thanks to Lady’s advanced technology. It was a crisp morning, around ten o’clock, with a clear sky promising a sunny day.Both were dressed in outfits designed to make them look like an ordinary couple, disguised as people eager to adopt a child. Their vehicle, a modest but well-maintained blue van, stopped in front of the main entrance. Paul, who was behind the wheel, rolled down the window and addressed the gatekeeper in a friendly tone:“We’re here to complete an adoption,” he explained, though his expression quickly shifted from cordial to serious, almost irritated, when the man asked if they had an appointment.The woman, sensing Paul’s sudden change in demeanor

    The team Melisa was traveling with dropped her off at her house, along with Creg and Ian. The three of them got out of the helicopter, but not before bidding farewell to the professor and his companion. They made their way into Melisa’s apartment. She opened the door and said,“Well, guys, feel free to take whatever you want from the kitchen. I’m going to take a shower after being in all that dust. If you’d like, there’s also a guest bathroom downstairs, and I think there’s some of the clothes you left last time, Creg. Ian, you can use the clothes my brother doesn’t wear anymore; they’re about the same size as yours. It’s down that hallway.”Melisa went upstairs to shower, while the other two, driven by the hunger left by their adventure, began to eat, though Creg ate more than Ian. Afterward, they took turns showering and changing.Meanwhile, Melisa had finished showering and was drying her hair with the blow-dryer. She looked in her closet and began searching for her special outfit:

    "I have the perfect place," Doctor Laos said with a calculating smile. "Since these children are orphans, we can start with the orphanages. What was the name of the one Aiden and his group came from? Ah, yes... the Order of the Sun."Zeus nodded in satisfaction."Excellent. That way, no one would suspect a thing. Who's going to stand up for a bunch of orphans?" he added with disdain. "You're a genius."He rose from his seat, his tone firm as he continued."I'll send my men to work while you, with Lady’s team, prepare this place for large-scale Metalux production."Doctor Laos frowned, intrigued."And how do you plan to do that, boss?"Zeus flashed a malicious grin and replied casually,"If things go smoothly, I’ll have them adopted. But if it takes too long... I'll have to use plan B."His eyes gleamed with a sinister light before he turned and left.Richard, the doctor, wasted no time contacting Lady to coordinate the restructuring of the facility. They needed to adapt it for simulta

    “Doctor Laos, we have arrived,” announced one of the soldiers accompanying them on the ship.“Excellent. Take these four containers and tell my team to prepare them; they’ll know what to do. And, soldier,” the doctor added with a severity that made the man tremble, “be extremely careful with the contents. They are extremely fragile. If anything happens to them, you will know the fury of our lord Zeus.”The soldier swallowed hard and nodded with a rigid movement of his head, hurrying to take the four containers away on a cart. These containers, resembling polarized capsules, held the four kidnapped youths.“Where are we, Doctor?” Swang asked.“Ah, that’s right, you don’t know this place. It’s a secret base known only to high command. This place is the most important to me. This is where it all began,” Doctor Laos said as he walked off the ship, followed by Doctor Swang, who watched him with a furrowed brow and a thoughtful expression. What does he mean, ‘where it all began’? She wonder

    The ship carrying Azulema and her team quickly approached the designated direction. Leila, with a worried expression, addressed Azulema:—But how are we going to take someone else? There's no room for anyone else here. We're already cramped, and Mark is squeezed in with you.Azulema let out a light laugh before responding:—Relax, girl, we'll figure it out. Don't get all worked up, or you'll get wrinkles.Leila frowned, feeling somewhat offended, and replied:—I'm not upset, and I'm not getting wrinkles... am I?Rosa, who was sitting nearby, glanced quickly and said with a mischievous smile:—No, although you're starting to look a bit like a raisin.—Really? —Leila asked incredulously.—It's just a joke —Ada chimed in, trying to stifle a laugh.Rosa and Ada burst into laughter at Leila's offended expression, who muttered something unintelligible while crossing her arms and looking out the window.—Alright, girls, we've arrived. This is the place —Margaret announced from the cockpit as

    Once the quest was completed, and they had regained some composure, the team began to leave the TV set, carefully packing the machine's parts into each backpack. Mark, ever the gentleman, held the door open for everyone. The girls thanked him with smiles, and their boss, with a more affectionate gesture, pulled his cheeks while affectionately exclaiming: — "That's my Marky! A true gentleman and a sweetheart."Leila, watching the scene from behind, couldn't help but scowl and think to herself, "Sycophant."When everyone was outside, Mark closed the door behind them. Azulema, with her usual authority, gave the order: — "Onward. Let's return to the ship."—"But the ship is far away," Margaret interjected with some concern.Azulema, undeterred, responded energetically: — "Well, what better time to start our physical training than by walking there? Today I realized that we need to improve our physical condition. I know we balance it with our mental abilities, but to be complete warriors, w

    Inside the ship where the Zeus team was traveling, one of the guards noticed something strange. One of the injured, who had been motionless just moments ago, now seemed hypnotized, his eyes fixed on a broadcast playing on one of the monitors. The guard, curious, was also captivated by the screen.Zeus, who happened to be passing through the area at that moment, noticed the scene. At first, he called out to the guard to get his attention, but he didn’t respond. Frowning, Zeus decided to approach directly to snap him out of his trance.Just as he was about to look at the monitor, he felt a tug on his arm. It was Aragon.“Sir, don’t look at that,” he warned firmly. “Someone is using a mental control frequency to manipulate the events and memories of the battle. I’ve managed to block it thanks to my use of the aura.”Zeus raised an eyebrow, intrigued.“Your ability seems to be very effective,” he commented, as an invisible energy suddenly enveloped him. A warm sensation began to flow thro

    When she put on the helmet, Leila felt a force pressing down on her as she tried to concentrate and not lose her emotional balance. Sheila and Martha watched her from a distance, looking a bit more composed, saying: — "Oh no, now our time has come. Surely, with this, we'll get fired and bring down the agency," they said resignedly, because there was nothing they could do about it. With the helmet on, Leila could hear the voices and minds of all the people, even her teammates, who were also wearing visors and suffering greatly from the machine's power, which was draining their energies more intensely than before. Inside her, she began to tell herself: — "Come on, concentrate, relax." A memory came to her mind, in which she heard: — "Leila, transform the pain into happiness, relax, pay more attention to what surrounds you. Don't let your power consume you; it's yours and part of you, use it" —she remembered her boss, Azulema, teaching her to control her power. Azulema knew that Leila's
