☀️THE BOOK☀️

Again

◆═════════●★●═════════◆ 

Two days have passed since Solar was released from the infirmary, despite being told he would be kept for observation. Due to this, he was unable to join the others on the mission, thus he was alone.

Both Admiral Tarung and Commander Kokoci were also not present as they went to Sunnova Station to take care of some business.

At this moment, Solar's only company was Cattus, who was asleep on his pillow while he read.
Solar had been immersed in the pages of the book for hours, not caring about what was happening outside of his world. When he finally finished reading, he looked up at Cattus, who was still in a deep sleep.

He decided to get up and stretch his legs, plus he intended to head to the library to find another book that would capture his interest. With calm steps he went to where the library was located.

An hour later, Solar felt exhausted, both physically and mentally. He had searched the shelves in detail, but he hadn't been able to find the Power Spheras book that he wanted to read so much. His shoulders hunched slightly, feeling frustrated at the lack of success.

He decided to go back to his room, since fatigue was taking over him. However, before reaching the library exit, a feeling of unease invaded him. He felt dizzy and a sudden dizziness made him stagger. Desperately, he reached for support on one of the bookshelves, grabbing a book for balance.

He looked at the cover of the book in his hand, but the letters seemed to dance before his eyes. The dizziness worsened and slowly, everything turned dark around him. Solar stood there, motionless, in the middle of the bookshelves, struggling to maintain consciousness before he finally fell into the darkness of unconsciousness.

We were on the planet Florarea, the previous description of which suggested that it was a place similar to the planet Quadruax. For that reason, we were on standby from our landing. However, at first, we do not face any obvious danger.

Unlike Quadruax, where plants were living, active entities, here we find a strangely inert landscape. The plants were not moving, which puzzled us even more. We decided to proceed cautiously and search for the Power Sphera without letting our guard down.

Everything was going according to plan when we finally found the Sphera, but when we tried to return, the vines that had previously seemed harmless began to move in a menacing manner. They attacked me, Ais, Taufan, and Duri with surprising speed.

Halilintar and Blaze did not hesitate to intervene and cut the vines that imprisoned us, freeing us. Desperately, we ran towards the ship in an attempt to escape the vines that were stubbornly chasing us.

However, the plants did not seem willing to let us go so easily, and more and more vines joined the chase, turning the space into a death trap.

"I understand now," Ais exclaimed as he used his bow to freeze some of the vines. "The plants on this planet are trying to devour us for our elements. Earth, plant, wind, and water. Even in my second form, ice is still water."

I nodded understandingly. "That explains why they aren't attacking Hali and Blaze." I thought quickly. "We need to minimize our presence and take precautions to prevent further attacks."

Our attempts to hide our presence and minimize the damage attracted by the hostile vines seemed to be in vain. As we continued to fight, the vines increased in number and became more aggressive. They were cunning and began to coordinate, preparing for a coordinated attack. It was obvious that our powers would, at some point, stop inflicting damage on these plant creatures, as they seemed to be absorbing our energy.

It was at this critical moment that the giant vines prepared for a final attack, combining their forces to launch a devastating attack. The situation looked grim and our forces were exhausted.

However, in that instant, we were unexpectedly rescued. Yaya's Apungan Graviti, Ying's Slow-mo, and Fang's Jerangkap Jari Bayang all sprang into action, parrying the giant vines' attack just in time and sending them flying.

We breathed a sigh of relief as we watched the vines become immobilized, unable to continue their onslaught. It seemed that they had completed their part of the mission.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, we quickly left the planet Florarea and returned to our ship. Once safe, we put the Power Spheras we had obtained in their charging station, making sure they were in perfect condition for our next stop in Tapops.

In Solar's room, Cattus finally woke up from his long sleep. He looked around, worried that Solar was nowhere to be seen. He decided to go look for it.

At the same time, a portal opened, revealing the arrival of the MYS of Justice, returning from a grueling event. Cattus, realizing this, headed straight for the landing zone.

When he arrived, he could see the passengers leaving the ship, and he hurried towards Captain Papa. The other members of the team decided to go and place the collected Power Spheras in their corresponding place.

Gempa, for her part, went to Solar's room, but not finding him there, he decided to go to the laboratory, the place where Solar used to be. However, he too searched for it in vain. Finally, he bumped into Ais, who was passing through in the hallway.

Gempa asked Ais for help to look for Solar in the library, which was the second favorite place. Together they headed towards the library. When they arrived, they found Solar staring at the bookshelf, her eyes vacant and sparkling.

Ais was the first to approach Solar and ran his hands in front of his eyes in an attempt to get some reaction. However, the situation seemed to be the same or even worse than the previous time. Gempa, who had called out to the others, approached Solar and began to shake him in a desperate attempt to get an answer, but the result was the same: Solar did not respond.

Panic began to take hold of them as they tried to wake Solar up. It wasn't long before her siblings and friends arrived at the library, joining in her efforts to help Solar. They knew that this time they couldn't count on Admiral Tarung's presence, which made the situation even more complicated.

Gempa summoned the Golem Tanah from him in an attempt to shake Solar, carefully, but this time it didn't work either. Solar was still in a trance, and his pallor was increasing, which filled them with concern.

Before they could take any further action, Solar abruptly snapped out of his trance. His eyes, which had been lost and bright, finally returned to clarity. However, before he could take a single step, Gempa acted quickly.

He carefully picked him up and decided to take him directly to the infirmary one more time.
