Queenstown, New Zealand

                       Jeremy came out of Lassie's store. He helped her every day, and after a week of such work, his whole body stopped hurting. Physical activity makes itself felt. Today they finished work even earlier. It was only 15:46. Since the work was finished quickly, Jeremy had free time again, and he did not know what to do. Although, earlier, when he lived in some corner, he had a lot of free time. Well, he decided to go home, and went to him.

Jeremy opened the door to the apartment and was immediately greeted by a smoke-filled house.

- What's going on here?- he asked, waving away the smoke, went into the apartment.

Lex ran out of the hall.

"Hi," he said, coughing.

- Why...

"It's just that Baxter and Jane tried to make popcorn in the oven.Lex replied.

And Jane and Baxter came running out of the hall.

- Oh, hi, Jeremy!the girl exclaimed.

"Hi," Baxter drawled.- And we have a surprise for you here.

- I think I've already seen him..Jeremy said.

- Yes, and how did you guess?Baxter made a surprised face.

- Hmm, I don't even know - the Pigeon King drawled.

And then, the smoke began to disappear.

- Tell me thank you for the fact that I was the only one who thought of opening the windows, - said Hazel, who came out of the hall.

"Well, Baxter," Hazel drawled, "you're the Ruler of the Sugar Kingdom.. Are you making sweets there, too?

- Well, we didn't cook sweet popcorn- Baxter grinned, leaving for the kitchen. - Oh! - he shouted from there- And we have another pack!

- Don't!everyone cried out.

Baxter laughed along with Nikolos, who came up.

Charlie, Hazel, Roger and Baxter left the cinema.

- Wow!Charlie exclaimed.- Tell me, the moment when they all won. And he...

- I agree, the film came out very cool!Roger said.

"Yes, it's interesting," Hazel sighed. In fact, he also really liked the movie, but he didn't want to give it away.

- I liked it too.Baxter shrugged.- Can we go home?

Everyone agreed with him.

And so, the guys were already approaching the entrance of their house, when they suddenly heard a squelching sound behind them. Charlie slowly turned around, and screamed. There was a creature standing behind, with a body like a large dog. It had one eye, a long tail with a blue crystal at the end, and a very long tongue. This creature was at least 2 meters tall.

- It's the same...Hazel said, turning around.- ...larnat...

- What kind of a larnat?Baxter drawled in amazement.

-The Larnats are practically invincible creatures. They live in different worlds. Usually, meeting with them does not lead to anything good.Roger said quickly.

Larnat grinned viciously, and growled.

- Do we have a chance of winning?Baxter asked.

- I would say that they are incredibly small. The weak point of the Larnats is their neck. And we can hardly get to it before it eats us. Roger replied.

And then, Larnat was about to jump, when suddenly, from the roof of a neighboring building, behind the creature, a dark silhouette in a gray robe with a hood jumped down, and with two swords in his hands, struck the neck of the larnat.

The Larnat disappeared with a pop, and in its place, only the crystal from the tail remained.

The Savior took out a jar from his robe, threw a crystal there, where several of the same ones were already lying.

- Hmm..Baxter drawled thoughtfully, and moved closer to the person in the robe."Hey." He called out to him.- Who are you? We should know the identity of our savior, shouldn't we?

The man took off his hood, and a face with gray skin and turquoise hair appeared. He had yellow whites of his eyes, and black pupils.

"I'm Ray," the man said.

"You don't have to introduce yourself, I'd do it for you, Brother Ray," Hazel muttered.

The guys looked at him in surprise.

- Is that your brother?!Everyone exclaimed except Roger.- You didn't tell us anything about your family.

"You didn't ask," Hazel shrugged, and walked over to Ray.

"We finally met, brother," Ray said.

- Come with us to our base, so to speak.Hazel drawled.

- Do you have a base hidden from prying eyes?Ray exclaimed.

- Actually, this is Lex's apartment.Baxter added.

- Who is Lex?Ray asked.

- We'll explain everything in the apartment.Hazel said, and the friends entered the house.
