In the morning, Gussie got out from the room that he shared with Koru then to his surprise, he saw Perfida sleeping on the couch by the upstairs living room so he went to her, "hey, Perfida." He shook her gently. "Perfida."

Perfida woke up, "oh, hey, Gussie," she said to him.

"What's up? why are you sleeping here?"

"I got smushed last night by March and Vance, I slept between them."

"Oh."

"I feel like the the middle part of an oreo. Anyway, I didn't get enough sleep, wake me up in an hour."

"Sure."

"Thanks," she yawned and went back to sleep.

"Wait, if you're here, that means March and Vance are..."

Inside the bedroom, March and Vance were in still in the bed together. They woke up at the same time and found themselves in each other's arm. "AAAHH!!" the two screamed that the two rolled away from one another, Leyo woke up from it.

"What? What? What happened?" Leyo asked since he was startled and confuse.

"NOTHING!" March and Vance shouted.

----

Later, March glared at Perfida as he confronted her in private by the balcony, "look, I know you're pissed but you two squashed my like a peach last night," she defended. "I couldn't breathe, either I be alive til next morning or having my lungs crushed by the both of you."

"Okay, sorry," he apologized.

"It's fine, it's done. We are going back to the resort after we have our breakfast." Suddenly, they heard car engines and saw a middle-aged man wearing a dark flannel shirt, loose pants with tearing by the knees and dirty sneakers, coming out of the car although noticed he was limping when he walked to the front door. "That must be her son," she whispered.

----

Gussie, Koru, Vance and Leyo were in the dining area eating scrambled eggs and fried fish that Sheri made for them. They were watching news that was live in a studio in Ares city, "the agency will be welcoming a new beings of cosmic citizens," the reporter said. "Akua from the planet Akuato. Let's hear from Jack Maurie about our new friend live in Ares Galactic Agency."

"Thank you, Kham, I am here now with Dr. Aimee Lian, one of the agency's astronomer, thank you for letting me interview you," said the othe reporter was inside with the scientist who was also a colleague of Ophelia's.

"Sure thing," Dr. Lian replied.

"So what can you tell us about the Akuas?"

"Akuato is a neighbouring planet of Phorzuds in the opposite side of the orbit but unlike the Phorions ability of flight, the Akuas are aquatic kinds so they have the ability to breath underwater but at the same time, they could also live in land."

"That is amazing to hear, are they here now? can we meet them?"

"No, they are not here right now but they are on their way here in about four to five earth days."

"I see, so basically, if you don't mind me saying this, they are like cosmic citizen mermaids?"

"That is correct, they're upper torso are humanoids and the hip down is fish tail so like mermaids they are more suitable living in vast sea."

"Very interesting, but how will they live here in Ares city for people like the Akuas? have the agency arrange something for them so they could live with us?"

"Good question. As of the time being we come to a desicion with Prime Minister Benjamin Nichols to have them stay in Thoto Island."

"Alright, that's it for now, thank you for your time, Dr. Lian."

"Thank you too."

"There you have it, Kham, that's all we needed to know about the Akuas. Back to you."

The boys in the inn seem intruiged, "a cosmic citizen mermaid, that's stellar," Vance expressed.

"Yeah, I know, right?" Gussie nodded.

"I wonder if we're going to have a cosmic underwater city like Altantis?"

"Oh, that would be so awesome," Koru said.

"Hmm... are we going to have tunnels tubes to check it or we scuba dive there?" Vance wondered.

"You kids and your imagination but that would be very interesting," Sheri interjected.

Suddenly, Vance's phone rang, "excuse me, I'll just answer this." He stood up from his seat and went to the door.

The strange man entered and immediately was face-to-face with Vance like a deer in headlights, "what the..?" he was stumped to see a boy he didn't know was in his house.

"Oh! uhm... hey," Vance stuttered.

"What are you doing here in my house?" the man asked in an interrogative tone but his voice was scratchy that the kid didn't catch that.

"I'm sorry?"

Sheri appeared in-between them and didn't seem thrilled to that he came to her home, "Taus? what on earth are you doing here?" she questioned him.

"It's my house too," the man retorted.

From that tone, Vance was in an awkward position, "I'll just go through the back door," he interjected then left them alone but the two immediately began arguing.

"I thought I told you not to come back here," Sheri scolded. "And what's wrong with your leg?"

"I fell, okay?" the man respond sarcastically, Vance listened carefully because his voice sounded familiar.

"This is what you get for being an Insurgency."

"Whatever, what is a teenage boy doing in your house?"

"None of you business."

"This is what I'm fighting for, people like them take what's ours. They better leave or else they are not getting out alive," Taus warned. Vance heard that so he rushed to the room.

"Have you lost your mind?" his mother was shocked from his threats. "Get out of my house!"

----

Vance got inside but instantly got flashed, "oh crap, sorry," he apologized because Perfida was topless and was about to put a shirt on. "I should've knocked

"Meh, March and Leyo saw me topless all the time," she said and was unfazed anyway. "No big deal."

"Yeah... I'm just gonna look away." Vance turned around. "By the way, there's something you should know."

"What's up?" she asked then they head the arguing. "And what's going on out there?"

"Sheri's son is here," he answered.

"I know, I saw him from the balcony limping to the door."

"Limping? nevermind, listen, this is a longshot but I think he's the one that chased us in the underground city."

"What?" Perfida gasped.

----

Back outside, the mother and son were still at it like two cavemens, "well, he's not much of a mama's boy," Perdita joked while she and Lexi watched them.

All of a sudden, Gussie came in a very bad time, "you!" Taus groaned and attacked him by putting his hand on his neck before Sheri could stop him.

"Taus! NO!" Sheri screamed. "GET OFF OF HIM!"

Luckily, March and Koru appeared and managed to pull them away from each other. "WHY IS HE HERE!?" Taus yelled while Gussie coughed from his strangulation, Perfida and Vance came and saw the chaos that happened.

"He's my guest and you need to leave."

"Me? he needs to leave, I want all of them gone, except him, he's okay," the Insurgency was referring to Koru, a fellow Zumuyan.

"Leave me out of that," Koru barked. "I'm not like you."

"Get out of my house, Taus, before I call the police," Sheri warned him again.

"Fine," her son grumbled. "Whatever."

"Go!"

Taus knocked Perfida's shoulder on purpose that gave her a vision. It was quick, she was seeing it through Lexi's eye that she was in the forest and that the girl was knock out on the head. Perfida was back to reality and then looked at him in a suspicious way, "oh my crapolai," she mumbled in shock then the guy walked out the door but not before he gave her a dirty look.

"Are you okay?" March asked Gussie.

"Yeah, I think," he panted.

"I'm sorry," Sheri apologized. "That's my son, Taus, he's..."

"An Insurgency, I kinda figured that out."

"I kicked him out of the house after I found out what he did."

"What did he do?" Vance quipped.

"Five years ago, I found out he and his friends broke into an office in Cruz Tradings by attacking an employee and turned it upside down."

"Cruz Tradings? That's Lexi's father's owns that," Gussie said.

"THAT WAS HIM!!" Lexi exclaimed that she discovered that he was the one that did that to her father.

"Yikes!" Perdita reacted.

"Why did he do that?" Vance asked.

"Insurgency people hates settlers," Koru answered. "My cousin is like him but he wouldn't reach to that extent."

"This is his father's fault, he ruined him," Sheri exasperated. "Even though he's gone, my son's head is filled with this awful thoughts. Anyway, I'll go get him some ice for those bruises."

Perfida and Vance looked at each other in sheer concern that they met the man that endangered their lives.

----

"You think he's one of the guys that were shooting lasers at us back in the forest?" March questioned his friends outside the.

"I'm not sure though it's possible, they were wearing masksed" Vance said. "but I remember the voice."

"I think he recognized us too," Perfida said.

"I hope I'm wrong, after what he did to Gussie and us back in the forest... I don't want our paths cross again."

"Agree."

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Gussie appeared with Koru.

"Nothing," the four of them said at the same town.

"Just about the Akuas, right?" Vance lied.

"The what?" Perfida had no idea about the new cosmic citizen that was coming to Ares city so then Vance pinched the back of her elbow to shut her up. "Ow!"

"Yup, that's what we're talking about, that topic, that topic only, and nothing else, nothing else but that."

"Okay..." Gussie just shook it off. "You guys ready to go?"

"Yup," March answered nervously. They all went inside the jeep, said their thank yous for letting them stay in her home and goodbye to Sheri then drove away to return to the resort.

On the road, Perfida could see Wagan spirits popping up at the side of the road which creeped her out and so were the two ghost girl, "do you guys want to go somewhere after going back to the hotel?" Gussie asked them.

The Soulpadres looked at each other, "sure," Perfida answered since they all agree.

Archie was relaxing by the beach while Bryce played around the sands with Harrison. He wanted a good tan under the sun until his phone rang, "hello," he answered it.

"Hello, Archie." It was the twin's mother.

"Ophelia, hey, how are you and how's Holden and Hector?"

"I'm good, we're all good, where are the kids?"

"Bryce is with me."

"In the casino?" she asked bluntly.

"Not... today," he sheepishly answered.

"Oh no. Anyway, where's my daughter and her friends?"

"She's with the son of my old friend, right now but she will be back anytime now."

"I see, I'm just checking but there is something else."

"What?"
