Another had arrived for the young boy known as Ikara, who was currently tying her hair back on his usual pony tail, today was the first time that he was allowed to go out Alfan and the other kids, which had excited in hopes to discover a way to find his sister and brother.

He took a deep breath and stretched his arms before he walked out of the room, going to meet Katherine before he went out with the rest who were outside of the cave waiting for him, "you are ready baby bear?" she asked as she looked down at him, to which he nodded with a smile "I'm ready as I can be!" he said happily , after that the blonde woman rubbed his hair gently, causing to chuckle a bit "be safe out there "she said.

Ikara nodded in response before he walked outside of the cave, meeting with Alfan, Blake, Ziera, Lucy and Adam, "alrigth now that we all are here, remember the rules before we go out" he said, the kids nodding response "we are going to a dangerous territory so you all have to stay close to me, if you see any resources do not go for them, tell me and we will all go together" he spoke "understood" they all said in response.

"This comes specially to you little bear, I know you are eager to find your other siblings but we can't risk getting everyone in danger" Alfan said as he looked down at the boy, making him huff for a moment and look away for a moment "fine, I understand".

And with that they started to walk away from the cave, and a couple of hours later they had arrived to a different territory, an area that had more trees and foliage around, "so... what place is this?" Ikara asked looking around "this is the start of the rain forest!" Ziera responded with a smile "there are dangerous people in here but we are still in neutral territory so we should be fine as long as we don't get too deep "Blake explained.

"Alrigth... is there any chances for a ship to be found here?" Ikara asked, "we don't know baby bear, we will have to see, but I wouldn't count on it, if there is one in here it's going to be in the deep part of the forest and we can't go in there" Alfan responded.

Ikara sighed a little bit while he looked down at the ground "who lives here that makes it so dangerous?" the orange eye male asked curiously, "the venom fangs, they are the factions that own the deep rainforest, they are some of the most dangerous people on this planet and they still all they can from others when they are outside" Blake spoke once more

"but we should be fine as long as we don't get near-" Alfan started but he was cut off as he heard the shake of a rattlesnake, making his eyes widen in shock " oh no..." he spoke , quickly turning around and trying to cover the children for the upcoming danger, sadly, before he could cover them all, a fang blade was shot like a dart towards them, craving into Adam's neck and causing him to shout in pain, starting to shake and falling on the ground, his eyes going red as the some sort of venom entered his body.

This made Ikara's eyes widen as he was pulled away by Alfan, his mind starting to get clouded barely being able to hear lucy crying, soon after that a figure jumped from one of the trees, making the tall man jump back holding the children, 3 women with fangs and black hair covering one of their eyes, various fang darts that around their waists in some kind of belt.

"Well, well if it isn't Alfan, what brings you so close to your territory" voice said from the top of the trees, "We were still outside of your lands Venerac! Show your face so I can break it for what you did!", after this a large figure came down from the trees, revealing a man about Alfan's size, no hair on his head and red eyes staring down at them "oh well how bad luck, but you understand that if we take you out now then your territory will be all free for the taking"

"you bastards!" Blake said as he ran at the man, "wait Blake no!" Alfan said trying to reach for the teen to prevent him from doing something reckless, but it was to late, before he could even reach him, he was tackling by a blur, a robot that was now holding him down by the neck.

"you'd be surprised what you can find around in the place, took me a while to assemble this but now that is complete it's the perfect subject for battle, don't you think?" Venorac spoke as he grinned at them "do you want a demonstration?" he added causing Alfan's eye to go wide "No! stop it!" he said, and tried to reach him, but he was quickly pinned down by two of the women holding them by his arms, the other one grabbing Ziera and Lucy by their heads.

Ikara's mind was racing at this moment, he didn't know what to do, or what he could do, but he felt his body moving on his own, rushing over at robot "wait no Ikara don't go!" the white-haired man yelled trying to break for the grip he was being held into to stop the boy. This was to not avail however as the male had already charged to punch the robot, his fist being stopped by its other hand, but he quickly kicked his hand to free himself and jump away.

"Oh? This one is new, and a fighter too?" Venorac spoke with his hand on his chin "leave him alone! He has nothing to do with this" Alfan shouted glaring up at him, "hmmm we could use another one here, kid why don't I show you real power "he said, making a signal and then the robots eyes became red, adding pressure into Blake's neck until a crack was heard.

Ikara gasped at this sight, frozen in shock for a moment but not being able to react in any other way as the red eyed man held him up, only letting him go to punch him in the stomach and sending him to the ground and creating a wide crater by the force of the impact, the boy coughing a bit of blood, and panting for air afterwards, "huh, he survived that, how impressive yet he will not get anywhere because he happened to be with your family Alfan, how sad" he spoke with a dark smirk "you can save yourself though kid! If you join use, you will be spared the fate as all these other children" he announced, walking over to the woman who was holding both girls.

"You won't get anything from Ikara, he will never join you no matter what!" Ziera said trying to break free from the woman's grip "is that so?" he spoke as he grabbed two of the fangs from the woman's belt, "leave them be!" Alfan yelled desperately trying break out from his hold, "let's show this kid what happens when the weak defy the strong" he said, craving the fangs into both girls' neck, leaving them silent just like what had happened with Adam seconds before, "now one left to change your mind child", he spoke as he walked over to the white-haired man, raising his boot, ready to smash his head.

Ikara's heart began to race, his breathing was heavy as his mind was clouded, everything was moving slow as his head was flashing memories, images of that day where he lost his mother and the rest of his home planet, the feeling of helplessness was brought back to him.

'Again... it's happening again... I'm losing everything. everyone, I couldn't do anything that time... I can't do anything now....'

As he was being submerged in that feeling for misery, something began to crack on his mind, something that refused to let him just watch, a feeling that he tried to control before... but now there was no point. That feeling was rage...

'No...

No!

NO'

As the boy stood up, the rubble around him began to shake, he let out a scream of pure anger and dread, every ounce of repressed frustration exploding from his soul out on his body, his hair bursting into purple flames along with his eyebrows, his eyes becoming this same color as an enormous aura was unleashed.

An aura that could be felt everyone around the area, forcing Venorac to stop his actions, everyone looking in the direction, a purple blur blasting of the crater, "what in the... " he spoke before quickly giving the robot a signal to analyze the situation, but before it could do anything, there was a hand on the back of its head crushing It to dust leaving it no chance to fight back, as the robot fell limp into the ground, the hand was revealed to belong to the boy, an expression of anger in his face.

In the sight of this one of the fanged women rushed at him, but was quickly stopped by a knee on its head, which he promptly grabbed and slammed in the ground, launching a wave of energy right after, leaving nothing but ashes on her place, only grunts and growls came out of him as he turned his attention towards the other two women holding Alfan down, "don't let him reach him!" Venorac said, but less than seconds after, Ikara appeared in front of them, kicking one of them into the air and then giving a second, roundhouse kick to the other one, when the first one came down, he grabbed her by her hair, throwing her into the second one making them both crash through some trees, jumping at them creating an orb of energy into his hands, sending it down at them and creating an explosion that vaporized them along with the surrounding trees.

"Ikara...." Alfan spoke in disbelief, Ikara landed back in front of them, "I got to say Alfan I didn't expect this, who would have said you had this little secret with you" he said, looking down at the child "you have a spark I didn't expected child I'll give you that, but you will not be able to leave today so why don't you join me instead and I'll let Alfan live"

There was on response, only a glare of fury as the flames of his head continued to burn, clearly the boy didn't plan to stop, Venorac only chuckled "I'll tell you what, I will give you one spare punch, as a gift-" he wasn't able to finish those words, as the boy had already propelled himself at him, hitting him straight in the gut with a punch that pushed the large man into the ground, and when he tried to get up, he noticed he couldn't, that one fist had so much force and energy behind him that shattered each and every one of his bones.

Ikara then began walking towards him, only his eyes being seen along the flames, for the first time, making the ruthless male feel fear, genuine fear through his heart and skin, "Ikara wait! it's done! He is done he can't do anything anymore!" Alfan yelled as he stood up, trying to stop de boy from crossing a line.

Ikara stood Infront of the broken Venerac, pulling his head up to make him look at him "If I ever... see you... near my family again... I will finish... what I started" he told him, the anger still evident in his tone, so much that the bald man couldn't respond at all, only fear was seen on his eyes.

The boy then let go of him and walked over to Alfan, "let's go home now...father" he said faintly, his hair turning back to normal as he fell down unconscious, all the white-haired male could do was pick him up, walking away from the forest as he tried to process the shock of what just had happened.
