The next morning, Arthur slowly opened his eyes as he woke up. He saw Eric in front of him, so in fright the umbrakinetic quickly stands up.

Eric: I guess it's better you not try to attack me, Art.
Art: Eric... You traitor.
Eric: Traitor? Your boss enslaves people and still holds us in this country and you want to call me a traitor?
Art: You wouldn't understand his motivations...

So Arthur created blades of darkness in his hands

Eric: Are you deaf? I wouldn't be careless enough to leave you both passed out and dumped in my house. I planted bombs in you, any moment I can blow you up.
Art: You're bluffing.
Eric: I figured you'd say that... Maro.

Maro then arrived in the room holding a squirrel, the kinesman of the flames then made his finger hot to the point of turning orange, then he touched the rodent's chest, making the finger stop getting hot.

Eric: 3, 2, 1...

Suddenly, the little chipmunk combusts, exploding and its pieces falling to the ground.

Eric: Does this sound like a bluff to you, Arthur?...

Arthur swallows, then undoes the shadow blades.

Eric: Yeah, you know not.

Thurnica starts to wake up, so upon seeing Eric and Maro, she has already grown carnivorous plants on her hands, but Art raises his arm.

Art: No, Bia.
Bea: But why?!
Art: If we attack, we die.
Bea: Damn it...
Eric: Well, since you don't have a choice, there's one thing I want from you. You are great fighters, you will help me to deal with the problem that is in Paratina.
Bia: Art, are you sure we should help him?
Art: I have my respect for Mr. Hypereler, but... Your life is worth much more Bia, let's do it.
Bea: Alright...
Eric: Looks like you've already agreed, so have breakfast and you'll give us a lot of information from now on.

Then Newest and Wakening leave the room, then the Thurnica siblings also leave the room. After a while, they are seated on the sofa, armchair and chairs.

Eric: Tell me, where is Hypereler's main base? Where is he hiding?
Art: Hmm... It's in the underground of Central Core State, Ultimacity's downtown.
Maro: Great, do you know the location of the other factories?

Biestte then materializes a table of sheets, generating lines on them, making a map of the entire country, indicating the positions of the other factories and telling them where they are.

Julie: Perfect, I think that's all we need to know-
Bia: Actually, there's one more thing I just remembered.

Art looks at his sister

Bia: There are secret places in Paratina called Sanctuaries, they keep keys that contain great power that can be used to open a treasure that is with the president.
Art: Legends indicate that such a treasure has as much power as the keys that guard it, which can only be used by that ideal to govern Paratina.
Eric: Interesting...
Art: However, the guardians of the keys are extremely powerful, not even we could handle them, I think only us all together would be able to defeat only 1. I recommend dealing with the factories first, then strengthening and thus going after the guardians.
Maro: Yeah, nobody said it would be easy. By the way, Eric, won't the government be surprised by their disappearance?
Julie: Relax, I've already taken care of that. They won't stay here anyway, in fact, I've implanted nanomachines in their bodies that will warn us if they do something out of our reach. So Eric can release the combustion.
Eric: Well, our meeting ends here. The next mission will be tomorrow at midnight, stay tuned. And welcome to the team, Art and Bia.

The siblings sketch a slightly aggressive neutral face. That evening, the entire group was gathered at Eric's house in Gold Armored again.

Julie: So, Art, what's the easiest factory to deal with so far?
Art: In Prismaticy, the city that is two counties to the east.
Eric: You know, I think you'd be perfect for taking down the factories, Art. You can move around in the dark and I think you can swallow the factories with just your shadows, try to destroy as many factories as you can.
Art: Hmm... Alright. It won't be that difficult at all.
Eric: But still, wait until midnight, that way it's harder for them to detect you. And you will also get stronger.

In 0 AM, Arthur, covered in darkness, was moving among the shadows, in and out of them and appearing near the factories. Being within close range, he would then cover the factories with shadows, swallowing them into an void dimension and then destroying them instantly. It only took half an hour to wipe out all the factories, so he went back to Eric's house.

Art: I came back, all the factories were destroyed.
Maro: W-What? Seriously?
Eric: Although, in combat, Arthur and I can be equal, his dark power is much more versatile, as there is no light in everything.
Bia: Now, we should go to the sanctuaries, however, we cannot just destroy them. The guardians are very strong and they have the keys to the treasure, so we have to go after them when we are there.
Art: We should get stronger, you 2 should train at the same place Eric and I train. While the 3 of us are going to look for somewhere to get even stronger. The good thing is that this can take away your suspicions, since they will see you as allies because Bia and I "trust" you.

With that, Arthur, Biestte and Julie leave and Eric goes to sleep. When she was there around lunchtime, Julie was at her own house having lunch with a friend.

?: So Julie, what have you been up to lately?
Julie: Nothing very interesting, just working with my mother in the workshop.
?: Meh. (Why do I feel like what she says is a lie? ... Does this have something about with my electrokinesis? But I don't even know how to mess with human electrical signals yet...)
Julie: But what about you, Vyktoria?

)Julie: But what about you, Vyktoria?
