Jayden sat next to him with a mellow smile on her face and a hint of nervousness, her hands to her side as she tightly grabbed the bed sheets underneath like she was trying to hold something in, the Joy and relief in Moby's heart feeling immense from seeing her alive and well overwhelming all his previous thoughts.

Due to the time in the room, although it had only been a few hours, for him, he had not seen her in what felt like a few days as he wanted nothing more than to hug her tightly seeing that she had returned safely, somehow knowing that the person sat next to him was not the clone but the real Jayden instead.

However, when he took a closer look at the expression on her face, he decided against it, yet the feeling of pure comfort could still not be shaken away from his heart.

"So… Where's Abby? Seeing you here alone I assume that you couldn't get her right?" Moby said, his smile dissolving into a serious expression as he asked Jayden the important questions, not bothering to beat around the bush as he got straight to the point.

"Well, yeah, I couldn't get her… Things might be even worse than we expected… I don't really want to waste your time explaining everything since we really do need all the training time we can get… Although, since you need to stare into my eyes for 1 minute, why don't we kiss?" Jayden spoke in a shy, shaky, yet normal voice, unhindered by the time crystal.

She had no idea what came about her, she had been completely calm, thinking she had everything under control before she had arrived. But, the moment she entered the room and saw Moby once more, It was like the gates of adamantite guarding the flood gates of her suppressed emotions were suddenly thrust wide open. She just could not help but vent and shed everything bare to Moby as her emotions began to overwhelm her, seeking him for comfort.

With a jittery smile, tears running down her face still in slow motion, she leaned in closer towards Moby before she was abruptly tugged his way, as he gave her a passionate kiss on the lips. He did not even need his emotion sensing to feel the pain in her heart, just by looking at her state, he could more than assume that she had gone through hell and back in the time that they were apart which was exactly what he feared.

They both kissed passionately with no aggression, their gaze locked onto one another, deep into each other's eyes.

What was only meant to be a 1 minute kiss turned into 14 minutes.

The sensation of unease in each other's heart began to slowly quell the more they kissed, the feeling of bliss overwhelming their senses as they felt like time had stopped as they were lost in each other's embrace, it being almost a fact as slow-motion tears continued to fall down Jayden's eyes.

Then suddenly, as Moby was still kissing Jayden, her lips disappeared as he could feel her no more, his vision turning pitch black.

Before Moby even realized it, he was abruptly thrust into Jayden's mind, sucked out of his blissful reality and shoved into somewhere far more morbid and painful... He witnessed everything that had happened as it began to ravage and overwhelm his mind. He bore witness to everything… How Jayden had infiltrated the mansion using a clone in a way she had not mentioned to him before… How the Reid mansion functioned and looked like from the inside... And even who the true identity of the Zexis gang leader was, it being Abby's sister just like he assumed, a ruthless second year who had reached the pinnacle of the S rank in her base, maybe even X rank while he was still an A-rank, making him know that he needed to train even harder and there was still a long way to go if he did not want to be swatted like a bug.

However, what hurt the most and came as the biggest shock was to see the state that Abby was in, the girl that he saw almost as his own daughter… she was completely unrecognizable from what she was like before, even going as far as to torture and insult Jayden like she was a dumb, dying waste of space, even going as far as to curse him as her lord, something that he never even fathomed could come out of her mouth, making him feel a pain in his current ghostly non-existent heart that was slowly cracking and eroding away…

Yet, no matter what he saw, he inwardly knew that what he saw was not the Abby that he knew and loved, without a doubt a fake. From the number of questions he had asked her to prove her loyalty when they had first met, her being underneath his full control at the time, along with all of his emotional senses, all the actions of loyalty she said and did, completely contradicted what he witnessed. Part of him doubted that it was even the same person… The fact that he knew that Abby did not betray him but was being manipulated settled his heart.

If she had truly been a traitor, then he would have to kill her with no mercy, there was no room in his heart for betrayal… Although it was back when he was arguably brain dead with his negative emotions being sucked, he had been betrayed so many times by so many people he thought he trusted in the past that the sight of another one would lead to their unquestionable death…

Yet, the thought of her being a traitor could also have some merit the more he thought about it… as she could have just been mind-controlled before she had met him, and had only just now returned to her original, unaltered state of mind.

Now he knew that the enemy had some sort of mind skill. Yet, to his knowledge, there were only a few abilities that actually gave stats in mind and most of them were fairly weak, same with devices.

So, he had come to the same conclusion that Jayden came up with, that Emilia Reid, Abby's sister and the leader of the Zexis gang's lord must have been some sort of alien overlord that helped her get a hold of a way to mind control her sister and wanted to capture him, meaning that he must have somehow known about demons, maybe even about Avilia.

Still in Jayden's memories, he took many deep breaths to calm his psyche… His soul and mind had been broken, incinerated, and destroyed so many times in such a short amount of time that he had been begun to feel like suppressing his emotions and thinking clearly was slowly becoming easier. However, despite that fact, when it came to his family, those thoughts could never be completely suppressed, always hints of his inner emotions leaking out no matter how many times he tried to suppress it.

'Avilia… Do you think the angels have found you?' Moby asked, pure seriousness in his voice as he knew that if that was indeed the case, there would be 0 chance of his survival, he along with everyone on the planet.

'I honestly doubt it… The mortal realm is bigger than you think, we are but a small grain of sand in an endless desert, each grain of sand representing a planet, the chances that they were able to find me is almost none. Plus, I just have a feeling that that angel friend of yours could most likely lead the angels away from us if the opportunity arises,' Avillia calmly replied, not worried for her own safety at all as she seemed confident in her words.

'So, you're saying that there is still a chance? Who else could it be that is looking for me specifically from outer space and has the ability of mind control?' Moby continued.

'It might be some alien species that worships demons, our existence isn't exactly a secret you know, we did invade this entire realm after all. Some mortal tribes worship me as the goddess of destruction which is rather hilarious, maybe one of them noticed the resemblance between you and I and now want to get you.'

'Wait, worship? Wouldn't worship make you weaker?' Moby interjected, making Avilia immediately respond.

'It neither benefits me nor makes me weaker, it does nothing honestly, only angels benefit from worship from mortals, we benefit and get weakened from no such thing, just like how angels don't get weaker every time they kill,' Avilia explained, making Moby nod.

She paused, taking a deep breath before she continued where she left off, deep in thought.

'These Shalker Aliens that attacked your planet seemed to be very proficient with technology, maybe they were smart enough to manufacture a kind of slave item using some sort of demon energy residue from the air around them, I'm not sure if they worship me as a goddess but I don't think it's out of the question,' Avilia spoke, her voice unnaturally calm, somewhat bothering Moby.

'Why are you so calm about this!? The shalkers are really powerful, right now I doubt I could even lay a finger on even the lowest of their troops!' Moby's voice rang in Avilia's ears, her staying casual as always.

'Well, as long as they are from the mortal realm, everything should be fine, the warriors on earth should be able to take care of them. They can't just kidnap you out of nowhere, and if the unknown overlord is a shalker then he would not be able to step foot on the planet without the entire human race destroying him, so the only logical thing they would do is lure you to another planet with Abby as a hostage and then they would fight you or try to ambush you there. Then, all you would need to do is inform either the Griffith or the Hart family about what was happening and they would take care of the rest if a shalker showed up or if they tried to kill or kidnap you, simple as that, no need to panic,' Avilia explained.

'I see…'

Moby took time to himself to ponder. He had already thought of such a strategy, however, he considered that there might have been many things that could go wrong with it, so he decided not to put too much faith in it.

He was not about to disregard his training to count on just a theory, and Avilia also thought the same. However, the way Avilia was so confident in her plan and words put a small hint of hope and relief in Moby's uneasy heart, something that he desperately needed from the dark times he had just experienced, the memories of Abby's distorted smile causing him pain every time it showed up in his head, exactly like Jayden.

Moby had almost lost track of time, he had almost used up all the time in Jayden's mind and was about to be forced out. So, in the last few seconds that he was inside her mind he decided to transfer the information about what Avilia had told him about demon transformations, just so she could join in on the training without him having to take too long explaining it to her in person.

And, just as he finished injecting those thoughts in her memories, Moby was suddenly snapped back into reality.

When he opened his vision, the first thing that he noticed was Jayden's fair skin, closed eyes, and dark blue hair. They were both still on his bunk bed, him on top and her on the bottom as they were still interlocking lips where they had left off, his chest pressing firmly against her massive breasts that were under her school uniform.

Keeping his calm, and suppressing his urges, he took a deep breath before he lifted his body from her as it was not the time for such things, feeling glad that the rest of the group were still deep into their mental training.

Then, not even a second later, Jayden slowly opened her eyes, blinking quickly before she too sat up straight, her mind feeling a little hazy, red under her eyes from her dried tears. She felt much better and more relieved than before, her heart more at peace as she felt like most of her built-up pain, stress and anxiety had been flushed out of her body in the form of tears, only pure determination left in her soul.

"Thank you for everything, I get what's going on… I appreciate everything you've done… You've suffered long enough… If you want you can just relax and leave the rest to me,"

Jayden shook her head at Moby's words with a bright smile on her face, before she responded, shaking her head.

"hmm, hmm, I'm okay trust me… You somehow always find a way to make me feel better even when I don't even know I am down bad myself. I'm much better now, and I'm won't rest until we get Abby back!" Jayden's smile removed any doubts from Moby's heart as he smiled back to her as well.

"Do whatever you want, I gave you a training method, you could use it to get stronger if you so choose,"

Jayden nodded before a sudden realization dawned on her.

"Oh! You had also wanted me to get this, I asked my father for the extra money so thank him for it as well," Jayden lifted her hand before a deep purple crystal appeared out of her inventory and into her hands.

The crystal distorted the fabric of space and time around it, him knowing it was exactly what he had asked for.

"So, I am assuming that you have someone in mind to give this ability to, there aren't many non ability users still alive in the school so I'm really curious who you chose…" Jayden spoke with clear intrigue in her voice, the crystal still firmly in her right hand.

Moby could not help but crack an amused smile from ear to ear hearing Jayden's words before he responded.

"No Jayden my dear, this crystal is for me…"
