The twins were sitting together, watching the news on the television. The news anchor was giving her report.
"...Investigations are still ongoing regarding the incident at the amusement park in our city. Several citizens have reported seeing two armed, unidentified men, one wielding a gun and the other a large knife. They engaged in a fight with a girl wearing a mask and a young man assisted her during the battle. The details..."
The anchor's sentence was interrupted as the television suddenly shut off and Luna turned it off with a sigh of boredom. Yuna, looking at her in confusion, asked,
"Why did you turn it off?"
Luna : "This news is just too disturbing. I don't want to listen to it."
"But we need to listen to it to know what's happening."
"Don't you notice, Yuna?"
"Notice what?"
"It's been five days since that explosion, the one that killed several people and injured many more. The investigations haven't reached any conclusions. Isn't that strange?"
"I don't know, maybe it's a very complicated case."
"No, they've figured out that the explosion was the work of the Fauvism Gang but they won't tell the people to avoid causing panic. And even if they did, they would blame someone else."
"I see. The police and security forces can't defeat the Fauvism Gang, so they resort to dealing with them peacefully."
"Exactly. I just hope they can control the situation, so innocent people don't die because of them."
"I have a very bad feeling, Luna. There's a strong chance the police will collaborate with the Fauvism to hunt us down."
"What?"
"It's a real possibility. Think about it. The security forces want peace and the Fauvism wants to capture the heirs of the wonder stones. The police will cooperate with them to maintain peace and avoid chaos."
"If that's true, this is really bad."
The twins fell into a contemplative silence before they heard a knock on the door. Yuna got up to open it, finding Jayden standing there. He greeted her,
"Hello, Yuna."
"Hey, Jayden."
"I brought something for you."
Jayden pulled out a monitoring device from his coat, similar to those Shadow and Ban used and said,
"Merrick gave me this and asked me to give it to you. He couldn't come because he's busy but he did tell me about what's been happening lately."
Luna intervened,
"Did you see the mess we're in?"
Jayden : "Yes but every problem has a solution."
Yuna: "You're right. Could you give me the device, Jayden?"
Jayden handed her the device and she placed it on the table. She went to her cupboard to fetch Shadow and Ban's devices, placing them next to the new one. Then she used her electric powers to check when the device malfunctioned. When she was done, Luna asked,
"Did you find anything?"
Yuna: "Yes. The device used by the fire element user malfunctioned first when I activated my electric powers. As for the lightning element user's device, unfortunately, it malfunctioned later and it looks like it got fried."
Luna: "So it malfunctioned when I used my fire powers in the battle?"
Yuna : "Yes, that's the most likely scenario."
Jayden : "Did you say anything personal during your fight with the two men?"
Luna: "No, but I think I mentioned Tristan's name when I yelled at him. I believe it got recorded on the device."
Yuna: "That's possible."
Jayden: "So Tristan could be in trouble. We should warn him to prepare."
"But Tristan is a common name. I don't think they'll identify him that quickly."
"I think the opposite. They'll identify the new member Tristan quickly. Merrick said he appeared on television."
Luna: "True, that's a possibility. We need to contact Tristan."
Meanwhile, Tristan had no idea what was happening. He had invited his friend Satomi over again for lunch, on his treat.
Satomi: "So, why did you invite me again, Tristan?"
Tristan: "So you could eat."
"I'm serious."
"Alright, I invited you because you've helped me so much before and no matter what I do, I can't repay you."
"You fool, I should be the one repaying you for saving me, not the other way around."
"Okay, consider this the last treat and then we're even."
"Yeah, that's a good idea."
Suddenly, Tristan's eyes widened as two men entered the restaurant and he was so shocked that Satomi was startled to see him react like that. The two men were heirs of wonder stones and they immediately targeted Tristan. They sensed his powers and one of them fired a lightning bolt at Tristan. But he used teleportation to escape the restaurant with Satomi.
One of the men shouted, "He's over there! He got out!"
Some of the people in the restaurant were harmed but Satomi didn't understand what was happening. He was inside the restaurant one moment and suddenly Tristan grabbed his hand and found himself outside with him. He looked at Tristan, confused.
Satomi : "W-what the hell is going on?"
Tristan : "Satomi, please, run. I'll explain everything later."
"What are you talking about and h..."
"Please do it "
Satomi trusting Tristan followed his advice and fled. The two men approached, one of them pulling out a long spear and the other a spiked hammer. Tristan readied his chainsaw and prepared for the fight.
One of the men spoke, "Tristan Danson, there's no need to resist. Don't waste your energy. Your best option is to surrender."
Tristan: "In your dreams, you bastard. Even if you beat me, I'll at least send one of you to hell."
"You're brave, I'll give you that."
The man with the hammer, using the lightning element attacked Tristan but Tristan blocked his attack with his chainsaw. They both stepped back from each other and the lightning user launched another bolt at Tristan, which he countered with a tornado.
The spear-wielder attacked Tristan unexpectedly wounding him in the chest and punching him to the ground. He tried to kill him with his spear, but Tristan used teleportation to strike him from behind, injuring him in the back. The hammer-wielder attacked from behind Tristan who used teleportation again to escape. He then used his pressure powers to make both of them collapse to the ground, unable to move.
The wound in his chest was bleeding heavily, causing him to struggle to maintain the pressure for long. He closed his eyes in pain, only to be shocked when the hammer-wielder struck him in the chest, targeting the injured area, knocking him down.
Tristan screamed in pain as the two men approached. One of them asked, "Any last words?"
Tristan: "You're both cowards. If I had fought only one of you, the result would have been different."
"Yes, that's what we are, bastards," the other man added. "You fought bravely, so don't be sad. Now, prepare to die."
The spear-wielder raised his spear to finish Tristan but Suddenly, a heavy gust of wind struck the man, causing a terrifying event
Only his bones remained on his head and his chest
It was the Bone Separator technique of Luna
His friend recoiled in terror at the sight, falling to the ground, trembling with fear.
He was even more startled when Luna and Yuna suddenly appeared walking toward Tristan.
Yuna started treating Tristan and then the man asked with a mix of confusion and fear,
"Who the hell are you?"
Luna: "Shut up and let us finish treating him. Get out of our way before we kill you."
The man, still holding his hammer, attempted to attack the girls but Jayden intervened, placing his hand on the criminal's back and shocking him with great force. The man fell to the ground, screaming in pain. Jayden bent down, grabbed his head and slammed it into the ground until the criminal lost consciousness.
Yuna finished treating Tristan and then used her water powers to freeze the criminal's limbs, turning them to ice and shattering them into pieces.
Jayden, stunned, commented, "You both have terrifying skills."
Yuna: "Yeah, terrifying and dangerous."
Luna: "But Yuna, did you go too far? We wanted to leave one of them alive to interrogate him. Now that you've turned his limbs to dust, he'll bleed out and die."
"Don't be stupid. I can heal him."
"Fine but don't forget he can still use his powers through his mouth."
Jayden: "Don't worry. He's unconscious and with all the damage, there's no way he'll use his powers to try to escape or cause trouble."
Tristan moved forward to thank Yuna and Luna.
"Thanks for saving me, Luna. And thanks for treating me, Yuna."
Yuna: "Anytime."
Luna: "As she said."
Tristan turned to look at Jayden, who was staring at him intently. Then, both of them exclaimed in shock and surprise,
"It's you?!"
