Humans and E-teens were all tangled up in limbs as they were all dazed from crashing out from the rocky mountain side. Maya was the first to recover and she looked up just in time to see the large creature stretch its head out of the opening that still was cracking away at the edges.

"What do you want from us?" Maya questioned as she rose to her shaking feet but held a steady gaze with the beast. Giving a huff the creatures eyes flashed for a brief moment before it inched its way out of the opening then its entire dark form dissolved away in the light and a white smaller form of the beast walked over to Maya and looked her in the eyes.

'You have much painful history with other worldly beings...if you keep hanging onto those thoughts it will be your own downfall.' It spoke through her mind and she felt a pang through her head as its eyes glowed green an it looked as thought it was searching through her soul.

"Ow..." Vintaque groaned in agony as her wings retracted into her back and Cookie came flying out of her chest and landed on the ground, equally as tired as Vintaque. Maya looked over to the Eteen and felt a small pang of guilt tug at her heart strings.

"I guess...I should thank her...she's been nothing but help and I couldn't let the past stay in the past..." She said softly and the beast gave a small growl before lowering it's head and opening its mouth. There on top of its tongue was the very egg that carried the Kairu energy. Ky and Boomer soon stirred awake just in time to see the beast open its mouth.

"You know...I might be crazy but I think it's allowing as to take the kairu energy." Boomer said as he rubbed his head and de-tangled himself from the knocked-out forms of Team Radikor and helped Ky pull Vintaque free.

"Well lets take the chance before it changes its mind." Ky said as he stood with his team around around the egg and extracted the energy. Once done they marvelled at the new perks they got before the beast gave a huff, took its egg into his mouth and disappeared into the newly created cave.

Vintaque gave another groan before standing up on her shaking feet.

"C-can we leave n-now...?" She asked shakily and as Cookie stumbled about at her feet.

Boomer walked ahead with Vintaque as he was curious about her race. Ky and Maya walked at their own pace behind the two.

"I'm actually proud of you Maya..." Ky spoke up between then and Maya looked to him.

"Huh?" She questioned.

"You tried your best to hold in your hate for Eteens and you ended up actually enjoying her company...right?" Ky asked with a smile as he looked to her. Maya blushed as she fiddled with her hands.

"Well she has yet to do something against us..." She said softly as she twiddled her thumbs and looked away. Ky placed a hand on her shoulder and stopped her. She looked to him.

"Still...I'm proud of you Maya." He said softly and smiled sweetly at her. Maya smiled back as her cheeks slowly turning redder by the minute.

"Thanks Ky..." She said softly as they continued following the Eteen and their fellow team mate.

Vintaque waved to Team Ky as they entered their hovercraft and was ready to leap away when she detected a disturbance.

"Hmmm...?" She looked around then back up to the hovercraft. "...I'm probably being overprotective..." Vintaque said with a small giggle. She looked over to Cookie and nodded to the bird before leaping further into the forest. "I mean, they got what they came for and I escorted them back...they're okay, right Cookie?"

"Chirp!"

"I'll take that as a maybe..." She stopped when she was a far distance she looked back to find the hovercraft still there.

"I can't find him anywhere in the ship!" Boomer said as he looked to his team mates.

"I don't understand, where could Mookee be?!"
