The next day Pure was training hard under Master Qiang. He was practicing how to use his sword and guns together in close quarters combat.

Qiang: Keep it up; you are handling four people at once.

Qiang had gotten used to the hologram controls and be able to control some robots that Pure built easily so that Qiang can make them do what he tells them to.

Qiang: You have them weak, take them down.

Pure did not hesitate and took each one of them down one by one without taking damage.

Qiang: Impressive, you adapt quickly to your condition and you also learn fast on your feet.

Pure: It's because I have something driving me to victory.

Qiang: Indeed, William has to be stopped and he must be paid for his crimes.

Just then an emergency came in.

Seth: Pure we have a problem.

Pure: What is it?

Seth: A kid has gone into the forest where the dryads have taken refuge. No one will even go in there, but you can.

Pure: Master?

Qiang: Go, he must have a good reason for going in there.

Pure grabs his coat and leaves the fort to the dryads' home. He touched down outside the forest and walked inside the forest.

Pure: You got a lock on where he or she is?

Seth: He is at the oak tree sitting down. The dryads are hiding but they are curious as to why he came there.

Pure: Keep an eye out I'm going in.

Pure begins to walk towards where the oak tree was and he saw the dryads on the way. They saw him and kept behind him while he moved forward. Once he got to the tree he saw a little boy crying at the base. He looked to be about 14 years old and was wearing a long sleeve shirt and pants.

Pure: Hello?

The boy raises his head and sees Pure he tries to run but he saw one of the dryads. He turns back and starts to speak.

Boy: Have you come to take me back?

Pure was puzzled.

Pure: Take you back where?

Boy: That place I'm supposed to call home.

Pure: Calm down, I only came here about when you passed across to the dryads' homes.

Boy: Then what are you going to do?

Pure: Can we sit down and talk about why you are here first?

Boy: What about those three?

The dryads come behind Pure and he calms them down.

Pure: Don't worry, they won't hurt you.

Pure makes a seat out of his tails for him and the boy while the dryads stay close to Pure on the ground and near to the tree. Pure reaches into his bag, takes out a bottle of water and gives it to the boy. The boy takes it opens it and drinks it. From the look of the boy drinking he hasn't had much to drink in days.

Pure: Better?

Boy: Yes, thank you.

Pure: What is your name?

Boy: It's Miguel.

Pure: Well Miguel, the reason why I came here is because these three girls behind me are dryads. They are connected to the forest and they were frightened when you trespassed here, which is why I am asking why did you do it?
