When the news spread like wildfire, the CAPES academy was a chaos. The faculty immediately looked for a solution to what was going on, especially when Summit City was looking for Lockey. Now, the government was searching for him and they would try their best to keep Lockey out of trouble—the real Lockey.

Sir Gregory quickly went to their headmaster's office to let them know about what was happening. While Simon and Malcolm together with Klein looked for a way to help Lockey out of the time he was in.

In their room, they started to think what are some ways to help him. Later on, Aurea came in to join them. She asked their plans, but the boys couldn't utter a single word about it. They watched the news again and how they captured that Lockey was the one who caused some trouble in the city.

"It could really be him," Aurea said. "I heard some say that they found him left the building and after that, he couldn't be seen. He probably went to Summit City."

"But the thing is, that wasn't Lockey," Simon clarified to Aurea. "It looked like him, but we have evidence that that person wasn't Lockey. Someone was trying to be him and we don't know how it is happening."

"Can we really help him? Even save him from it?" Klein asked.

"What do you think?" Simon questioned him. Hindi naman nakasagot si Klein sa tanong nito. "If you could cheat influencing death by covering your hands with some gloves—"

"This isn't just some gloves," Klein corrected him.

"Yeah, I was saying, if you were able to do that then it's possible for us to find some ways to help Lockey. We just don't have that kind of ability. Aurea could fly, she was light as a feather. Malcolm, you were the God when it comes to technology. Klein's touch was deadly while I could transport to known places."

"I just want to show you something," Klein said. "I've never shown it to anyone before because they would be scared and that's just a fact."

Klein laughed it off and started taking his gloves off. Napaatras pa si Aurea habang hinawakan naman ni Simon si Malcolm sa balikat niya para kung atakihin man sila ni Klein ay maisasama niya ito sa pag-transport at makalayo sa kanya. The fear inside their chests falter when they saw his fingertips. Aurea gasped as she noticed while the boys couldn't believe it.

He put his hands up showing them what was happening to it. There were black dots on his fingertips seemingly like he played with some paints and couldn't wash it off.

"These black dots weren't here before," Klein started. "They started showing up when I put my gloves on. These gloves were created by my father. He thought it would protect me from harming innocent lives because all the things that have a life I touched die. It made my life easier, but people were still scared to come close to me. Even to touch me. I only remove these gloves when I'm alone. Lockey hasn't seen it yet because I don't want him to be uncomfortable in our room. Those dots appeared and kept growing while I protected people from getting harmed, but the casualty that I am slowly dying. . . Oh, I didn't know why did I tell you guys about it. I'm sorry."
