One day, the boys were walking in the forest, looking for a new adventure and a new beast to kill. Ciyan was extra excited today, eager to try out his new weapon. It was a prototype of what he wanted, but nonetheless, he was wiggling it around and whipping anything in his way while Kidd and Killer were just happy to see him happy.

As they walked, without a care in the world, Ciyan, while jumping around, accidentally stepped on a patch of dirt that turned out to be a hole and fell in.

"Are you dead?" Kidd asked.

Ciyan got himself up from the fall. "No, I'm okay, just my head hurts. Get me out of here!"

"On that, we'll go look for some ladder. Stay put," Killer added.

The fall was high enough for Ciyan to be unable to get out on his own, so he waited. The boys went away to look for something to help him climb out, but they took a long time. Ciyan, noticing a small passageway on the side, decided to take that path curiously.

He crawled out of the other side, finding a big cave system with many paths. Amused, he kept walking straight ahead to avoid getting lost. As he walked, he heard a lot of echoes and muffled voices.

"I'm not alone here. I should get back and get Kidd and Killer to keep exploring this amazing place," he thought to himself.

He looked ahead and glimpsed a light and something shining. It was still straight ahead. "Well, it wouldn't hurt if I just kept walking a bit. They would catch up to me when they don't find me in that hole."

Ciyan reached the light. It was the end of the tunnel, leading to the outside, but it was still a ravine with the surface way up and the river far below him. Before the end, there was a fig tree.

"Weird, how did this manage to grow here?" he questioned

"Weird, how did this manage to grow here?" he questioned.

He put his hands through it and noticed an unusual fig. This one looked very unique compared to the others in shape and size. He kept examining it and decided to take it off the tree.

"This looks like the fruit that Kidd talked about that gave him power," Ciyan thought. "Would I be the luckiest person if I ate it and also got magnetic powers like Kidd did?" He paused a bit. "Or I get poisoned and die," he continued thinking. "Meh." He just took a bite. The inside of the fig felt like it was bleeding out of it, and the taste was horrible. "Ew, this is so disgusting."

Before he finished taking in the taste, he heard his boys' echoes calling for him in the distance. He threw the fig away and followed the noise back to where he came from.

"Can't you stay still for a few minutes? Where were you?" Killer said annoyingly, holding his cheeks.

Kidd was looking around. "What is this place though?"

"I don't know. It's a big cave system. We should definitely explore it. I bet there are a lot of cool monsters and mysteries here," Ciyan said excitedly.

"Well, we can do that another day. We need to hunt down some food and clean ourselves. It's getting pretty late. It's already too hard to see anything here," Killer said.

"You're right. Plus, I want to get rid of the dirt. I feel yucky."

They made their way out of the cave with the rope Kidd and Killer found. They hunted some small animals, then headed to the river to wash up, taking off their clothes and getting into the low water.

"Ciyan, what happened to your scars?" Kidd asked, confused.

Ciyan looked at him with equal confusion. "What do you mean? They're there..." He was about to point at them, but they were gone. "What the hell?" he was more confused. "Maybe they healed," he just shrugged it off.

On their way home after a long day of fun, Ciyan stopped them for a bit to take a leak on a snag. As he peed, the tree filled with life and began to grow. Ciyan and the boys were dumbfounded.

"What the hell is happening right now?" Kidd said loudly. "Did you just heal the tree by peeing on it?"

"I guess so," Ciyan said shakily.

"Since when did you have this power?" Killer asked.

Ciyan thought a little bit, then remembered the weird fruit he ate, his scars being gone, and this incident with the tree. He suddenly looked really disappointed, putting together the links. "I think my power consists of healing, not mechanical things." He explained it to his friends.

"This is so useless and selfless. I hate it," he said.

"What do you mean useless? Imagine the things we can do, knowing that we can't get hurt because you're on our side," Kidd added. "We're really going to be invincible and so strong."

"Add to that, we can turn this into a business," Killer added.

Ciyan was reassured by what his friends said and began thinking of ways to get money out of this new ability and at least he Is going to be useful in combat.
