It had been 2 days since Alexander had gone to meditate. Even though Phixheim had all kinds of fun characters, but without Alexander, everyone felt a little lonely for some reason.
The tailed beasts and kids were among the most affected. Olivia usually scoffed at how Alexander doesn't spend much time in Phixheim but moments like these tell her how important Alexander is to all of them. She had no idea how much time had passed on the special planet but all she hoped for was that he succeeds in whatever he's doing.
She had to spend time with all the tailed beasts and kids to not let them be sad due to their missing grandpa.
"Chomei, catch." She threw the ball. All of them were playing catch right now.
"YES..." Chomei flew high in the air and caught the ball.
Shukaku complained, "No, why are you flying? That is cheating."
Chomei passed the ball to Shukaku, "No no, you are just jelly."
"Grandma, when will Grandpa come back?" Thea asked Olivia with watery eyes. She was not playing.
Olivia picked her in her arms, "Sweety, he is training in there. He will come back soon. Why don't you and Ajax go out and play?"
"Um... okay..." She nodded cutely and ran away to find Ajax.
Olivia sighed seeing her like this. Thea was very much attached to Alexander as he spoiled her too much with love.
...
"BROTHER AJAX... WHERE ARE YOU?" Thea ran into Ajax's huge room that was more like a small apartment because it had multiple rooms.
Ajax was lazily reading some manga he took from Zeno.
"Here, Thea." He voiced from his entertainment room.
Thea tippy-toed to the room. She also saw Hats lying on the sofa, chatting with Korin's sister on the phone. Thea ran to him and hugged him tightly.
Hats had gone through this experience before so he was not very worried at the moment. All kids when small liked to play with him.
Thea while holding Hats, talked to Ajax, "Brother, I'm bored. Grandpa is busy. Chomei and Chappy are playing with the rest. Grandma says we both can go out to play."
*Sigh*
Ajax put the manga aside and looked at his little sister. No one could say no to her cute chubby puppy face.
"Fine, let's go and have some adventures. Just you, me and Hats." Ajax decide.
"Ay, don't involve me in this." Hats shrugged.
"Are you sure? I'm sure grandma would want you to come with me and Thea," Ajax said.
Hats had to agree as Olivia would really say that. So, he jumped over and sat down on Ajax's shoulder and continued texting.
"Hats, open a portal to a nice world." Ajax requested.
Hats was so into chatting that he just flicked his paw and opened a portal. In fact, Olivia had only allowed them to go out and play with Gohan, not go to a different world entirely.
Ajax held Thea's hand and passed the portal. Ajax was much stronger and a bit more mature now than when he went on a solo adventure in the Fullmetal world. Thea, though, was very young. But she had the ability that was very OP. Also, Alexander had put protective magic on her that would teleport her to Phixheim in the face of danger and in her place, 10 million droids would be sent to deal with the attacker.
10 million was overkill, but Ajax understood that if he was in place of Alexander, he would do the same. Thea must be protected at all cost.
I love my everyone
La lala Laaa♫
Her words were just what was in Thea's heart. Ajax and Hats didn't complain about it not rhyming and not sounding like a song. They just clapped for her.
"Amazing, Thea is smart," Ajax said.
"Yes, yes... come, Thea, food is ready, Eat," Hats put food for her.
The three ate and went to sleep for the night. Thea slept hugging the soft fur of Hats. He also acted as a responsible elder. Ajax just took a corner.
...
Next Morning,
Ajax helped Thea brush her teeth and then folded the tent.
"Okay, let's go and look for humans. I don't think this jungle spans all over the planet." Ajax decided.
Hats again sat on his shoulder and started chatting. Thea held Ajax's hand and walked alongside him happily. They came across many animals. Some Deer, Bears and even Gorillas. But none of them came to attack because of the aura Thea was emitting. Hell, even mosquitos didn't come near them. She was a natural repellant.
As they walked, Thea pointed to a rock on the side. "Big brother, look."
Ajax also saw a black rock. But, it looked more like a life-sized human statue. But why was it there? He wondered.
Soon, they came across many more of these. Most of them were covered in mud, signifying that they had been here for a long long time.
"Strange, who made so many statues? There are even birds," he questioned.
But Hats spoke and clarified, "They aren't dead, kid. They are petrified I think."
"Like the mythical medusa?" Ajax asked.
"Yeah. I can still feel their consciousness." Hats pointed out.
"Then we must find a way to help them." Ajax decided.
"WATERMELON?" Suddenly Thea exclaimed.
[Guess the world.]
