No one's POV

After Arjhay told the group to start the construction of their treehouse, they all stood up and started to stretch. "Okay guys, let's start with the platform of the three treehouses. Arciel and Jerome, come with me. Rina also. Others, standby. Let's go.", Arjhay commanded while making a circular water for him to stand to. Arciel made a square wood, Jerome made a square metal and Rina made a square cloth also for each of them to stand to. The others just stayed put and started practicing for their tasks ahead.

Meanwhile, Arjhay and the three went to the lowest branches of the tree in the middle and started making the platform. "Arciel, what is the strongest wood you can produce?", Arjhay asked. "It's from the Iron oak tree, the Iron Oak wood. Its hardness is the same as diamond.", Arciel answered. "Make long five inches flat woods of it now. Jerome, I like you to make strong ten inches nails to hold the woods. Rina, where do you think is the most compatible place that can support tremendous weight?", Arjhay ordered while the two are busy making nails and flat woods. "I think we should place it in there where the first two branches emerge and let the trunk be the back of the house.

"Good, Arciel, place the boards in there and lay them side by side. Jerome, nail the part of the wood where it meets the branch. Form a 6mx8m rectangle.", Arjhay ordered while Arciel placed the boards on the branches and Jerome nails it. After five minutes, the platform was completed. Then, they moved to the next tree on their left and started the whole process again. This time, they made a 4mx5m rectangle. They moved to the last three after they finished the one on the other side. They made a 5mx6m this time though.

When they are finished, they started building the framework, wall, windows, doors, roof and water, electricity and waste system on the three treehouses. All's that left to do was the furniture and things inside.

"Oh, what a day!", Katelyn said. "Yeah!", Arciel exclaimed. "What time is it already?", Arjhay asked while placing a sign board near the edge of the clearing. "It's already 3:20 pm!", Shanely said as she looked in her phone. Arjhay came jogging towards them and said, "Okay, let's all go home. We'll continue it next week.".

"So, we're gonna walk again?", Janely exclaimed. "Of course!", Shanely replied. When Shanely started to step into the forest, "Guys! We'll just make a platform to stand on and travel on it!", Arjhay shouted. "Yeah! A good idea!", Jerome exclaimed. "Let's do it!", Jeruel added. Then, they made each one a platform and stood there to travel. Except for Ariana and Linzey of course, who are still children.

***********************************

When they arrived at the edge of the forest, they saw a group of what seems like a bunch of thugs surrounding 2 girls that looks like in the 8th grade.

"Hey miss, do you want us to accompany you to your house?", said one thug. "No thanks,", one girl simply said. "Being hard huh?", said one thug as he grabbed the arm of the blonde haired one who spoke earlier. "Let go of her!", said the black haired girl. "Well then, how about I do this?!", said another thug who held the arm of the other girl. "Let go of me! Or I'll call for hel-", the black haired girl said which was stopped harshly by another thug again who held her in her chin and pressing her cheeks. "Ellisa!", shouted the other girl. "Shut up or I'll-", another thug said but was stopped by Arjhay who jumped from their platform ten meters away from them.

"Or you'll do what?! May I ask?", Arjhay asked. 'So handsome!', 'so cute!', the two girls thought. 'My heart is beating so fast!', 'I think I'll faint!', the two added, never minding the thugs. Seriously? What are they thinking? "And what will you do about that?", said the thug who held the arm of the first girl. "Why don't you release those two girls first?", Arjhay said while glaring the thugs warningly. "So It's a fight you want eh?", The last thug said, "Then take this!", he added while firing a soccer ball sized fire ball at Arjhay. "Hahahaha!", the thugs laughed as the ball went flying to Arjhay.

Arjhay just slapped the fire ball sideways and the fire ball exploded in the trees near the forest. "Is that the best you can do?", Arjhay exclaimed mockingly. "You're making us angry!", shouted one thug who let go the girl he was holding. The two girls became free as the thugs faced Arjhay and they ran to the direction of Arjhay's friends who landed away from the fight. "Will he be alright?", Ellisa asked. "Don't worry, he's the strongest among us!", Gwen happily replied. "So, you've got company? Well, you need them to even touch me.", said the thug who was the tallest and biggest among them. "Are you sure about that? What if all of you fight me first then let's see what's the outcome?", Arjhay said daringly, "Maybe it is I whom you can't touch.", he added frankly.

With this, the biggest thug suddenly ran so fast to Arjhay, ready to torture him. When he got near he punched Arjhay but missed by the fast rection of Arjhay and was suddenly sent flying to the direction of the old park by the force of Arjhay's 'water pop', as he liked to call it from his hand which was formed like a girl scout salute but the ring finger was folded down, leaving the two fingers alone or the letter 'h' of the hand sign. "Oof! Uhhrrggg!", the biggest thug said as he was sent flying towards the bushes. The other thugs started firing projectiles too, including fire balls, jagged rocks, spike woods and bullets.

Arjhay just easily dodged these projectiles by countering them with water darts and also by his nimble and flexible moves. By jumping here, flipping there, shooting here and dodging there, he quickly avoided the projectiles. But then, a flash of lightning darted from Arjhay's right side. Arjhay was hit in his right elbow and he quickly covered it and jumped away four times.

"Hahaha!", a voice said. "Can't touch huh? What a lie!", the biggest thug said while standing near a pile if bushes, full if cuts. "Well, you're still conscious? Good thing, but you're attack is weak. It didn't even scratched me.", Arjhay said while exposing his right elbow which was still the same.
