Watching the door close behind them, Rio activates his influence and sends a suggestion to the remaining chalk creature.
"You don't need to report on the happenings of this room. just ignore everything and take a break."
Upon receiving the suggestion, the creature sits down and flattens itself onto the ground.
"Good, now I just need to get us out of here."
Activating his reserves, Rio pulls everyone into the void and re-summons them outside of their cells.
Before Rio can even think, Zack scoops him up and hugs him with thankful eyes.
Rio is surprised for a moment at the sudden gratitude.
He had always assumed that his servants would simply lack all emotion.
Looking towards the other two, he notices Jeremy pouting by himself while Vector stares at the two of them while shaking his head.
"Well, that's a bit interesting.
Deciding to test his new discovery later Rio puts his mind to more important matters.
He begins thinking of a way to handle all of the creatures inside the castle.
It didn't seem like traditional weapons were very effective last time but he didn't have much to work with.
Of course, that feeling didn't last long as Rio had had an epiphany.
Since the creatures are made of chalk, it wouldn't be out of the question to assume that they couldn't be washed away with a bit of water.
Rio quickly puts his hypothesis into effect on the resting creature that was left to watch over them.
Zack liquefies his arms, and slams them into the creature.
Without any resistance, Zack's arms fly straight through it, splitting it in two.
"Perfect! Nice one Zack," Rio applauds.
With his new weapon in hand he jumps into Jeremy's arms and has Zack and Vector take the lead.
Busting down the dungeon doors, They get ready to fight their way out.

[Outside Castle Jeremy]
"Team Alpha 3 to HQ, We have located the vehicle that Vector was last seen in. It looks like he got into an accident. The car is pretty banged up and the window has been smashed."
"HQ to team Alpha 3, Do you have a visual on Vector?"
"Not yet, It looks like he continued on foot, but there's something odd. There are two sets of prints in the mud but none of them appear to be Vectors. One of the prints seems to have come from a pair of sneakers while the other seems to be a set of paw prints the size of a small dog. The SUV is the same but I'm not quite sure that Vector ever made it here."
"There is no need to think about that, We will have team 4 check the area for him. I want your team to continue following the path. Report if you spot anything out of the usual. Do you understand."
"Yes sir, I'll have my team get right on it."

[Inside Castle Jeremy]
A whip flings through a swarm of chalk creatures as they fall to the ground.
Rio's squad is making short work of the Creatures within the castle with the help of Zack.
They made their way down the seemingly endless corridors and staircases.
They felt like they had been running forever.
The Castle was definitely not this big when he came in.
Soon they reached a large set of arched doors.
Remembering that the entrance to the Castle had the same shape Rio and his servants rush towards it and slam it open.
Unfortunately, what awaited them was not freedom, but an exceptionally large creature.
Zack attacks the creature without a moment's rest but something unexpected happens.
The creature blocks the water with his own arm.
Rio can see a bit of the chalk washing away, but it was not enough to remove the creature.
Its outline was definitely much thicker than the previous ones.
After repelling Zack's attack the creature let out a blood curdling scream as his arm began healing rapidly.
"This might be a problem." Rio thinks to himself as he tries to use his influence.
He attempts to influence the creature multiple times as it and Zack trade blows.
No matter what he tries, the creature simply ignores the suggestions and continues fighting.
He even tries activating his dominance but even after 10 minutes of continuous fighting, the aura still looks as if it had never moved.
Rio, Jeremy and Vector watch the two fighters going at it, Knowing that they are unable to provide any assistance. The battle rages on yet the creature seems to have just as much energy as when it started as Zack's movements begin to slow.
Rio shakes his head and begins pacing around in a circle.
"Come on Rio. Think. There has to be some way to turn this around!"

Rio stops pacing and turns towards Vector. He looks towards his side holster, noticing the handgun. He knew that the gun was ineffective on the creatures and even if it was, It would be far too difficult to land a shot on their thin outlines. Rio was instead interested in another property of the gun. If he could tamper with the weapon a bit he knew he could force the gun to explode. It wouldn't be big but it should suffice against the creature in front of them. Rio has Vector take the gun out of the holster and draw the hammer back. He then places the barrel on the ground and begins slamming it repeatedly against the ground. The creature is still battling Zack and has stopped paying attention to anyone else, ignoring the sounds coming from its rear. In the span of a few seconds, the barrel is completely bent and shattered. Rio pulls it from the ground and begins inspecting it. "This is perfect. Now we just need to add a bit more oomph, don't you think?" Rio asked, looking to
Cutest Pet System A New Home
It's been a number of days since Rio had been taken into the van. He wast sure exactly how long it had been as the only time he could see outside was the few times that he was provided food. During this time he became more accustomed to his new ability. Whenever he had the energy, he would practise resonating with Vector and Zack. Resonating with Vector gave him more knowledge on guns than he ever wished to know. It was almost as if Vector was some kind of gun nut. Although it also proved useful as his mind was also full of combat strategy and tips. Resonating with Zack was even more interesting as his benefits were less instructive. He didn't have the knowledge that Vector had but he more than made up for this in his physiology. Resonating with Zack allowed Rio to manipulate his body similar to Zack. he could liquefy portions of his body at will along with being able to manipulate his now liquefied body. Rio was going to try resonating with Jeremy but quickly decided against

Her face was sullen and she seemed distracted."How was school today?" her mother asked.Rachel simply shook her head and went to her room.Her mother sighed before returning to her work."What's wrong with her?" Rio wondered."Don't worry about her boy, She gets like that from time to time." The mother reassured Rio after seeing his worried pacing.This was the first time he had seen her so down.

Cutest Pet System Amalgamation
The Creature roared as it stared down at Rio.Its voice was like thunder and echoed throughout the whole building.It's appearance was something of a nightmare. Its body was a pale white, with long sharp nails and a tail that stretched behind it. It had four arms, each ending in a hand, and its feet ended in black talons as well. Each of its limbs took on the form of a different animal, and it seemed to shift every few seconds. At one moment, Rio would be looking at a bird-like arm, then he would be seeing the back end of a dog, and next thing he knew, Rio would be looking at two legs that resembled a horse.Rio stood in awe at the creature before him, and tried his best to not show any signs of fear or hesitation, which proved to be difficult since he was staring directly into the creature's ever changing eyes."Emergency Mission from Alberoth: Escape!"Rio began to think about how to get away from the beast but time was not a liberty that he would be granted.With a blood curdling s

Rio said sadly."Rachel?"He couldn't believe it.The thought that Rachel was actually the monster rampaging in front of him was hard to comprehend. But there was no doubt in Rio's mind. It was her.He didn't know how she ended up like this but he couldn't help but worry.He couldn't just leave her like this.He had to save her.Jeremy had finished drawing his next chalk monster and Rio wasted no time sending it towards Rachel followed by Vector.It seemed like a waste of time but they had to try it.The chalk drawing jumped right at her while Vector leaped above her head and brought his knees down on her.Using his weight he slammed into her head while the drawing restricted her movement.But as expected, she was completely unharmed and easily knocked Vector right out of the air.She then used a snake-like arm to wrap around the drawing, squeezing tightly until it shattered.Rio's eyes widened as h
