Aren looked at the duo. He unsummoned all the ants and stood there, looking at them. Aiden approached from behind.
"They seem different," he said.
"Yeah, they are," Zero replied, walking forward. She stood beside Aren as well.
"Aiden, I want you to take Kira and move from here," Aren said.
"Huh? What are you talking about? Why would we leave?" Aiden asked.
"I'm sorry to say this, Aiden, but you and Kira might not be able to take what's about to come," Aren said flatly.
"I'm not leaving," Kira said from behind, walking up.
"I believe Aren is right," Zero stated.
"Bro, you can't be serious. There is no way we would leave you here," Aiden said. Aren was about to say something else to try to persuade them, but it was too late as the lady in purple slammed her finger, and instantly, a massive hawk appeared in the sky. Its feathers were purple and black, its abyss-like eyes stared into souls.
