Maya, like yesterday, went on her hike with the Champions of the creek. She and her group took a different route to explore different parts of the creek, some of which they'd been to weeks ago. The champions felt more free with the creek turning civilized, kids from the other side being more of a healthy state rather than vying for control. However the only thing they didn't get, like Maya, was the news spreading around without the person who took part of it.

"Maya." Keun Sup turned to her. "Did something happen when you took off on your own yesterday?"

"Yes, but you wouldn't believe it."

"What do you mean?"

"Did you meet Xavier?" Aggie wondered.

"Yes, but it wasn't here. It was at his house. If I offered you all to come with me, you would be amazed." Maya responded.

Jackie knew the kids in the creek during his hikes acted awkwardly. But he didn't forget the boom he heard yesterday, especially the huge boom outside the creek two days ago. If he knew what everyone else was feeling, Maya would have a purpose if she actually cared enough.

"I would show it to you, but I don't think he's here today."

"Seems he left after visiting." Keun Sup commented.

"You would be right, but when I met him...he made friends here."

The Campions looked at each other, informing the person he's making friends at the creek. But what they don't understand is what Maya experienced that caused her to be amazed. Soon, they went down the trail but little did they know, it was leading to the cave where they've noticed a few times, but never bothered. They stood in place, witnessing the cave and the darkness inside.

"Do you think we should check out this cave?" Aggie pointed. "It could lead to another cave where we could come out."

"You may be right." Maya smiled. "I'll check it out in case it's safe inside."

"You shouldn't do this alone, we're not afraid of the dark."

"There's no one inside, if there were, the creek would've banned all of us."

The Champions of the creek took Maya's word as she made her way inside the cave. She took out her phone to turn on her flashlight feature but the moment the flash glowed to the bottom of the cave, Bluebird reacted in an instant.

"Intruders!" She reacted as Craig took notice, still sitting in the center.

"Please don't be my friend! Please don't be my friends!" He reacted.

Bluebird launched up from the ground, grabbing Maya's attention the moment she saw what's coming. She ran out of the cave, catching the attention from the Champions. When Bluebird revealed herself out in the open, Maya turned around to witness the gem for the first time. However she picked up the pieces when she saw the two gems on Bluebird.

"It's them!" She replied.

"What do you mean? She's one person." Keun Sup pointed.

When Bluebird noticed Maya yesterday, she grinned just when she's about to attack but decided to hold back. "Did anyone tell you about me?" She taunted. "Because I could do the honors of that."

"No, they don't." Maya defended her friends. "What are you doing in there, Aquamarine and Ruby?"

"It's Bluebird in fusion, for your information." She flew in front of her, taking her by notice. "To cut things short, you and your friends need to turn around and walk away."

"Why? Are you hiding something in there?"

"You really want to do it the hard way?"

"If I had my bat, probably."
