"Damn it! Damn it all!" Zilong cursed out, his fist hitting a wall. As a result, slight bruises started to form on his knuckles. But he didnt care. 

Chang'e and Baxia sat silently on the couch. Chang'e just stopped her crying, so she was hiccuping here and there, wiping the remaining tears. Baxia sat, his arms folded and eyebrows creased.

"Cant believe Ling would-" before Zilong could continue ranting, Baxia interrupted harshly.

"Stop wasting your time on him. It was his choice, and he went along with it. No point trying to bring him back."

Zilong was taken aback by the words he said, but soon agreed with him.

"What we need to focus on now is getting Wanwan back." Baxia added on.

"But how? Clearly you saw those two bastards teleport in and out!" Zilong argued.

"Well, what we know is that one of them is a mage. Probably a Yin-Yang one, judging the colours on the magic circle that formed beneath them. And the other one... it felt like..." Baxia remembered the strong power he felt from the taller figure. A terrifying power, one he has never felt before.

Zilong soon understood what he meant. "Yeah.. I get what you mean.."

"Um.. I'm n-not quite sure but.. I remember Harith showed us his magic orb, one that could show certain places to go to.. A-and Cyclops can open up portals to those places..." Chang'e joined in, uncertainty in her voice.

Zilong and Baxia's faces lit up at what she said. They approached her to ask more questions. "What else can they do?!"

Chang'e hesitated, trying to remember what else they could do. "I'm.. not sure... but I'm certain they could help us locate Big Sis Wanwan's location..."

"But still... who knows? They migt have teleported to- I dont know- another dimension?!" Zilong said.

"Oh please, no mage has that power." Baxia scoffed.

"L-Let's ask Harithh and Cyclops. I think theyre downtown right now..." Chang'e said, hovering towards the door on her moon. Zilong and Baxia followed behind her.

When they stepped out, Zilong spotted a blue bird flying above them. He found it amusing, considering you dont see such beautiful creatures where they live. But the bird reminded him of Ling, which only brought down his mood even further. He shook his head to try and forget him, focusing on his task now.

"Nana! Gimme back my hat now!" Harley cursed out, chasing after the Feline Wizard. Nana giggled as she used her passive  for a speed boost, running further away from Harley.

Harith and Cyclops were sitting under a tree for some shade, practicing their magic. Lylia was with Angela, talking about some girl stuff. Diggie was hanging out with Lolita, trying to get his eggs together.

All the midgets were having fun on the field where they would always go to play. When Nana spotted Chang'e, she waved and shouted. "Chang'e! Hiii!" All their attention went to Chang'e, and saw she was accompanied by her brother and his comrade.

Chang'e replied with a sad smile." Hi, Nana.. hope youre doing well.. I uh, need to talk with Harith and Cyclops right now. Its an emergency."

Nana stopped smiling after realising how important this was. She called out to both of them, who were still doing their magic. Harith dashed over to Chang'e while Cyclops wobbled over.
