A week later Marshal was getting his first flying lesson using his new wings. Alisha was teaching him because Artemis and Marshal have two different wing types.

Alisha: Ok Marshal do you have the feeling in your wings?

Marshal: Yeah, I think I got it.

Alisha: Ok, trying moving them up and down.

Marshal tries moving his wings up and down and he was getting a little thrust coming from his wings.

Marshal: Whoa.

Alisha: Ok, keep flapping your wings until you pick up off the ground.

Marshal tried flapping his wings as fast as he could until he started to lift off the ground. He started to get altitude.

Alisha: Be careful too much flapping and you hit the ceiling. Try to think of it as using a gas pedal.

Marshal controls his flight until he comes to a hover.

Alisha: Next, slow down your flapping to descend, but do not stop.

Marshal decreased his speed and he started to descend. He touched the floor and stopped flapping.

Alisha: How was it?

Marshal: Like trying to use my arms, but it it's a little tiresome.

Alisha: You need to improve your wing muscles so that you can handle your equipment and the only way to do that is to practice more with them. Next, let's start to glide so you can get used to your initial weight.

Alisha and Marshal continue teaching Marshal how to fly correctly. Meanwhile, Lucinda, Sandra, Rick and Trinity's scales were still growing but the progress was almost completely slowed down. Trinity's scales were across her lower back, Sandra's was like a ring around her tail. Lucinda's was like a piece of armor on her shoulder and Rick's was on the top right section of his back.

Xiao: Looks like your scales are almost complete.

Rick: Thank god, the itching was really starting to bug me.

Sandra: Tell me about it, felt like locusts on my tail.

Lucinda: I had to take a soak to get rid of mine.

Trinity: At least Zhēnbǎo helped me with mine.

Just then Rick got a call. He recognized the number and started to walk away from the team

Rick: Hello?

Person: Hello Rick.

Rick: You, you are supposed to be in jail.

Person: You know I can get out easily. I also have someone who you know.

Rick: Who?

Person 2: Rick, help me!

Rick: Sis, is that you!?

Person: Come alone to your old house and tell no one in your team.

The person hangs up.

Rick: Guys, I got to go somewhere, don't follow me.

Xiao: What's wrong?

Rick: Just don't, I got to deal with this one myself.

Rick heads to his room and puts on his armor and readies his weapons. He uses a drone and leaves the fort.

Xiao: What is going on?

Seth: Pure... I knew you were listening.

Pure: Hard not to. Someone has his sister and wants him to come home.
