The Endbringers
Then the video slowed back to normal speed as people showed up, but right as the first person picked up the first rock, Phyco swore and then paused the video. The boy's hand was ten feet from where he had been crushed and almost free from the tons of stone that should have destroyed his body.
"That's impossible," Phyco said, disbelief evident in his voice. "How did this child survive?"
Soliera shook her head, equally as baffled by the video. "I don't know. There was no sign of him afterward when we scanned the area, but there was a grove in the ground. It almost looks like he... dug with his bare hands," she said, sounding just as confused as Phyco felt.
The captain leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. After a few moments, he spoke again, his tone contemplative. "This is not just a coincidence. This boy possesses a power beyond our understanding, and I think it is more than just about this strange new Cosmog. The question is, who is he working for?"
Soliera nodded, eager to figure out the answer. "We need to find out. Perhaps if we search further into Ultra Space, we can uncover more information."
Phyco nodded, then glanced at Soliera. "You're right. We should put together a team to investigate. In the meantime, I'll contact Professor Kukui to see what else we can learn about this anomaly since he should be the same age as this boy and from Melemele island as well."
"I would like permission to go on this mission with Dulse and Zossie. This is too great of a chance to learn about something that not even we know about, but there is one more thing that is quite disturbing," Soliera explained, and Phyco looked up with a frown.
"What now? As if this already isn't strange enough, now you are telling me there is more?" He asked, shaking his head in wonder.
Captain Phyco shook his head in disbelief. "Soliera, I don't want to see you get hurt," he said with a hint of concern in his voice.
"I understand, but sometimes risks must be taken in order to make progress and gain knowledge," Soliera replied curtly. She was determined to go through with this mission and prove her worth.
Phyco sighed heavily. He knew that she had made up her mind, and there was no way of talking her out of it. "Fine," he said reluctantly. "But if anything happens to you out there, I will have your hide." He fixed her with a stern look to emphasize his point.
Soliera returned his gaze without breaking eye contact. "Understood. But I promise you, I won't let you down," she said confidently and then left the office, leaving Captain Phyco.
Captain Phyco watched Soliera leave the room, his gaze lingering on her for a few moments. He could see the determination in her eyes and knew that she was willing to take risks in order to fulfill her mission. He also knew that her chances of success were slim, yet he couldn't help but be proud of her gumption.
"Be careful out there," he finally said, not breaking his gaze from hers. "You might think you're invincible, but this mission can still end badly."
Soliera nodded slowly. "I know the risks. But I also know that this is too important to let go," She replied, her voice strong and unwavering. "We need to find out what's going on with this anomaly and the Endbringers, and I'm willing to take the risk to do it."
"That's brave of you," Captain Phyco commented, a hint of admiration in his voice. He was still concerned about her safety, but he also understood her dedication and determination.
"It's necessary," Soliera said simply before turning to leave. As she stepped out of the office, she paused and glanced back at him. "Don't worry. I won't let you down." With that, she departed, leaving Captain Phyco alone with his thoughts.
