Part 2, Chapter 7: The Second Phase

We are in Bankok, the capital of Thailand, and a monster has attacked the city. We're talking about a monster of enormous stature. The Heroes Five are rushing there. Daniel uses his Phase Eye to find the monster's weak point and comes up with a tactic. Meanwhile, the other heroes hold off the monster so it doesn't destroy buildings and kill people. The tactic is complete.

Daniel: Listen up! This monster may look rock solid on the outside, but it's 50 percent natural gas. Arthur... you are the key to our victory! You must use your fire to penetrate the monster's core! Miyuki, use your wind to help Arthur's flame! Joe, you'll smash a hole in the monster's body, Diane and I will surround it and trap it! Okay?

Diane: What if the explosion is so big that half the city is destroyed?

Daniel: Don't worry, I'll take care of it.... And go!

Everyone obeyed and the plan was put into action. Everything went according to plan. Finally, Arthur's fire penetrated the monster's hard body. Before the monster exploded, Daniel quickly froze the monster so the city would not be destroyed. Of course, the monster still exploded, but it only took damage to itself. It was another sweaty battle for the heroes. You might have thought the fight was over, but then an unknown guy came out. He had very modern armour. He was a man from Earth. He immediately attacked the heroes. For a brief moment, the fight was over and Daniel was asking questions.

Daniel: Who are you?

Aarne: I'm glad you asked! I'm Aarne Laaksonen, and I'm here to destroy the humans and the earth with them.

Daniel: Why would you want to destroy people and the earth?

Aarne: Because you have taken everything from me... you people... and now... I am taking everything from you!

Aarne was fast, thanks to his special armour, and the others could not keep up with him. Daniel, on the other hand, was able to dodge him a little by teleporting. Aarne wounded Miyuki who eventually fainted.

Daniel: How dare you do that to Miyuki!

Aarne: Just a taste of my true power. This girl is no hero! She's too weak to deal with me! People like her should die!

*evil laughing*

Daniel was so upset about this that he couldn't control himself, he wasn't even conscious. His eyes, unlike the Phase Eye, had a reddish eye and black pupils that suddenly made him faster and physically stronger. It was too much for Aarne, and he barely escaped. Daniel then lay unconscious on the ground.

Hewoke up in his room. He went into the living room where the others werewaiting.

Diane: Oh my God! Are you okay Daniel?

Daniel: I have a bit of a headache, but I'm fine....

Daniel wondered.

Daniel: Wait! Why are we in the accommodation? And where is Miyuki?!

Tracker: You fainted. Miyuki is fine, she just needs some rest. But what's more important is what happened to you.

Daniel: What happened to me?...

Tracker: What do you remember from when you were in Bankok?

Daniel: Well... this guy came out of nowhere, wounded Miyuki, and then I wanted to kick his ass!

Tracker: And after Miyuki got hurt, do you remember anything after that?

Daniel: Not really... What happened, master?

Tracker: There's one more thing I haven't told you about the Phase Eye. I'll explain why the Phase Eye is called the Phase Eye. It's because the eye has multiple stages. The one you've been in so far is the First Phase, which means you can extract information from others or teleport. But now you've developed the Second Phase. The Second Phase focuses on speed and strength. You can jump between the two phases. You can't use the phases at the same time, meaning you can only have one ability at a time. But you cannot currently control the Second Phase. Not only are there two phases, there are five of them in total.

Daniel: Master...how do you know so much about this?

Tracker has a book in his hand.

Tracker: From the book that you read when you were learning teleportation, I know I shouldn't have read it and I was destroying the traditions, but I felt I had to support you at all costs, so I don't regret it at all. You weren't the only elemental users, and you Daniel, you weren't the only Phase Eye owner.

Joe: We don't understand any of this.

Tracker: Originally you were supposed to go to a planet called Purpura to fight monsters and save the people there, against a planet called Prasinos who make monsters and send them to fight, it's been going on for thousands of years, including Daniel, there's 4 Phase Eye in history. The Goms gave you those powers.

Because they thought you were the best power users, and Daniel earned the Phase Eye. But now, for some reason, the earth has been attacked by monsters. 

And Tracker told the whole story of the conflict.

Diane: So, we were originally going to go to Purpura to fight, only the monsters came to earth and now we have to fight them here?

Tracker: I don't know exactly how they got here, but our goal is the same. And we must not give up. Because the Goms didn't choose you because of your luck. But because they knew that you would sacrifice yourselves so that an entire kingdom and its citizens could live in peace, in this case the people of Earth.
