The next day, a strange video surfaced on the internet.
It showed the mysterious fighter in the battle suit—the same man who had been seen fighting another suited warrior.
If you hadn't seen it yet, the internet was more than happy to show you.
The video opened on a beautiful field. Reese hovered several feet above the ground, completely still, while dozens of tiny mechanical bots moved through the grass beneath him.
The person recording stepped closer.
Curious, he picked up a stick and cautiously reached toward Reese.
The reaction was immediate.
Several of the tiny bots rushed together and formed a small blaster.
"You are too close to my master," a mechanical voice warned.
The bots scanned the man.
"Human. Step back, or I will take defensive action."
The blaster began charging.
The person recording panicked, stumbled backward, and fell to the ground.
The weapon was almost fully charged when Reese suddenly opened his eyes.
The man froze.
He curled into a ball and closed his eyes, expecting the blast.
But it never came.
Slowly, he opened his eyes.
Reese stood in front of him with one hand extended.
The bots began climbing onto Reese's body, attaching themselves to his arms, chest, legs, and back.
"On."
The machines connected instantly, forming Reese's battle suit.
In one smooth motion, Reese shot into the sky and disappeared.
The video ended.
We return to the team, who were helping Awzu with some chores around her home.
"Okay, everyone ready?" Awzu asked. "Follow me."
She turned and leaped toward the top of the mountain.
Justin stared after her.
"Whoa! Now that was cool."
"You guys go ahead," DJ said. "I'm going to hang back and see if I can find some new strains around this golden motherland."
He lit a joint and started livestreaming.
Alex shook her head.
"Well, we won't be seeing him for a while."
She flew after Awzu.
Justin followed closely behind.
Jimmy turned toward Treaya.
He wrapped his arms around her and slowly floated away with her.
Treaya suddenly got chills and hugged him tighter.
"You know, me and the fellas talked last night," Jimmy said.
Treaya looked up at him.
"And they made me realize something."
"What's that?"
Jimmy looked directly into her eyes.
"You're mine, and I'm yours. And I want to love you the way my dad loved my mom."
