KLANG!!!

The bullet didn't hit them. Nero had already managed to hold it back by creating a shield of iron that he melted with his ability to change the shape of objects. Vincenzo and some of the men were surprised, gawking at Nero. Meanwhile, Nero rushes to his feet; pulls off Vincenzo's hand and starts running again. Along with him who stepped, the iron again melted.

"W-what was that?" The man in the suit stared at his colleague. One man walked over to the molten iron there and squatted down and grabbed the molten iron, rubbing it with his hands.

"Evolver shape-shifter," he murmured. The man who asked looked at him questioningly. It was only the first time he heard the evolver ability of the teenager.

"Change things?" Her parrots.

"Yes. He can change the shape of things according to what he thinks and what he wants," he explained.

"I just heard it for the first time."

"Yes, because this is a step ability that only a few people have. Ordinary, people with this ability are descendants with mixed blood."

"Mixed blood?" Repeated it. The man nodded, his hand then smelling the molten iron that was attached to his hand.

"Surely one of her parents, was from Norway."

"What should we do now?" Ask her. The man exclaimed his grin.

"We catch him and take him, the prof will definitely be very happy with our catch" he murmured.

"You hear that?" The man who stood there. Adjoining a woman whose age is older than his, and another man whose age is much younger than his. The two beads of their eyes were on some of the men below who were talking about Nero and Vincenzo.

"Very clear" said the woman. The woman looked beautiful with slightly curly hair tied one back.

"Then what should we do now?" The youngest asked.

"We changed the plan. We must help the two teenagers," muttered a little older, making the man and woman beside him turn simultaneously towards his figure. The three people wore robes of the same black color but with different color lines and patterns. One younger man wore a black robe with green shades and stripes, one slightly older man wore a black robe with blue shades and stripes, and the only women who are the most mature among them; wearing black robes with pink shades and stripes.

"Help them? But why should we help them?" The woman asked, next to her eyebrows raised. Looking at the blue with a confused face. The blue one turned towards his other two comrades with a completely serious look.

"uh? Did ya? Are you sure?" The green man looked incredulous.

"Yes. Two teenagers and three friends. Is the one who will be able to help us solve every puzzle."

"Does this have anything to do with your dream prophecy?" Guess the pink one. The blue one just nodded in response.

"Then from that, we should not let them catch both of them," the blue turned his gaze towards the several men in black clothes below him.

"Look! They're moving!" The green man spoke while pointing at some of the men.

"Then, let's go. We have to arrive before they do!" The blue one moved from his place, he then stomped his side of the foot once, and in one snap it was; his body instantly floated in the air. He then jumped into another building next to the building they had originally occupied. Meanwhile the other two colleagues had to move quite slowly, doing parkour in order to arrive at the following building. The three of them then tried to chase two teenagers who they initially found when they were stalking the movement of the group of men in suits earlier.

The longer they ran, the more energy they had drained away. For a long time they ran and unknowingly; they were getting lost among those shabby little alleys. Vicenzo who ran behind Nero, slowly began to feel if his legs were not strong enough to hold his body again. Sweat continued to pour on his body, and along with it his head began to feel dizzy. His sight slowly blurred, and his hearing began to be unable to hear too clearly the circumstances around him.

BRUKKKK!!!

Vincenzo fell unconscious behind Nero. Realizing that; Nero spontaneously stopped running.

"The ice!" Nero ran over to him. He tried to realize Vicenzo but the albino man completely lost his consciousness. "Gosh, the energy is completely drained" Nero murmured when he realized that Vincenzo was losing a lot of his energy.

"How's this? What am I supposed to do? The people back there kept on running, and they got closer," Nero began to panic. Especially when remembering if he could not use his abilities for now, because his energy only stayed a little; very little and even only could he use to regulate his wheezing breath.

"Vice! Wake up!" Nero was still trying to wake her up. But not for long, those few men had already been where they were at this moment.

"Stop messing around!" One man there spoke up that suddenly made Nero surprised and looked up spontaneously staring at him. Nero's getting fretful.

"You better give up, and come with us" another man said as he tried to catch his breath. They then stepped over to Nero who was sitting on cement ground there, trying to realize Vicenzo who fainted due to loss of energy.

"It's time to put an end to all this" one man said; raising his one hand, preparing to shoot him with the same bullet they originally used to knock out the girl Nero and Vicenzo saw. The man was preparing to shoot him. In just a matter of seconds and, that thing shot out quickly from within his watch. It's headed towards Nero there.

"Wine! How's this!" Nero was alarmed, but when the bullet was about to hit him; he was suddenly struck by a sudden surge of protection for himself and Vincenzo.
