chapter 26
Jericho's group is still resting in the middle of the desert.
While Yuri is looking for food to eat. Until she finds something shiny. Once she picks it up, she realizes that it's the energy crystal.
Then, her eyes start to make a flash of light, which Yuri suddenly receives a vision. But she only started to freeze for a moment until she snapped out of it and decided to approach Lee-yu.
"Hey Lee-yu."
"Yes, Yuri?
"Look what I have found."
"Hmmm? Is that the energy crystal?"
"I think so. But can you check it out if it's the one?"
Once she lent the crystal to Lee-yu, she starts to examine it, and then she takes a bite to taste it. Lee-yu confirms that it's truly an energy crystal.
Then Yuri has something in her mind of using the energy crystal.
"Maybe I could use the energy crystal to keep my powers from losing control."
"But how?"
"I'll have to put the energy in my Alpha License. Then, activate the armor mode that can enhance powers. Maybe it can keep my power from losing control as well."
"Are you sure it would work?
"Only one way to find out."
Once Yuri tells Lee-yu to crush the energy crystal into smaller pieces so she can put it inside of her Alpha License.
Then, she starts to activate the armor mode, which works where Yuri received a special suit without malfunctioning.
But she must test out her powers by using clairvoyance to track the others. She soon discovers where they are.
First, she saw Sukar, Mele, and Felisa, where they were in a place that seemed to be a prison.
Wondering how they ended up being in that place but must focus on locating for the rest. Yuri sees Lumi hiding from the dragon knights. Then, also see Eelin, Mei, and Magi in the jungle.
Now, she can use powers very well in armor mode, Thanks to the energy crystal she had placed. Yuri decided to inform Jericho about her discovery.
.
.
.
Jericho is bathing on the river where he cleaned up all of the wounds. While his clothes are placed next to the river.
Suddenly...
"Jericho!"
His eyes open wide open when someone is calling his name, and he's familiar with someone he knew.
When Jericho sees someone who comes to see him, which is Yuri and Lee-yu.
But this only makes him speechless as he's completely undressed, causing him to scream out of embarrassment.
"Ahhh!!! *Quickly lower down to hide the rest of his body but his head in the water to keep himself from being seen.* I told you to wait until I'm finished!" Said Jericho angrily.
"Yeah, I know. But I have something to tell you." As Yuri doesn't seem to care from what she has seen, she only comes to inform him of something.
Jericho noticed that Yuri is now wearing armor. So he tells the girls to leave so he can dress up.
After that, he leaves the river to meet with them, where Yuri explain that she managed to access the armor mode with the use of energy crystal. So she decides to test out her other technique that she hadn't tried before, telepathy. A power that would contact someone through their minds.
With this armor that would enhance her powers, Yuri will try to contact the others she knows. While she'll share it with Jericho and Lee-yu to contact them as well.
Yuri starts to use her power to look for the others.

Lumi evades the knight dragons to avoid being seen.
But when more knights are coming over, Lumi has to think fast about finding a place to hide, where she sees a big door nearby so she quickly enters inside and quietly closes to not make a loud noise.
Now she's inside, Lumi noticed that there are computers with a large screen on the wall.
"*GASP!!!*"
Lumi is suddenly shocked by horror from what she has seen on the screen that makes her feel uneasy.
Before she would think of something,
"Lumi!"
"Gah!"
Lumi becomes startled from hearing a voice, which comes from her own head.
.
.

.
Mei, Eelin, and Magi are still looking for a place to rest.
Then, they noticed something nearby, which is a tall obelisk structure that is black colored. So they approach it just to check out.
Eelin starts to observe while Mei kneels down so Magi can lie down on her lap.
Suddenly...
"Eelin!"
"Mei!"
"Magi!"
They all become startled from hearing a voice that is calling their name.
Which causes Magi to wake up.
"What was that?!"
As she's taking a deep breath, they recognize a voice.
"Yuri?"
.
.
.
.
.
When Sukar, Mele, and Felisa enter the place just to search for the operatives. Which is the hall where prisoners are held captive
As they proceeded to search, Sukar noticed something familiar from the prison cell. When he takes a close look, Sukar is surprised to see someone he knows. Which is none other than Garu.
"General Garu?"
Although he's relieved to see him,
"*GROWLS!!!*"
However, Garu starts acting like a vicious animal. Sukar realizes from what happened to Felisa as he's under the effects of the energy crystals that made him act like an actual animal since he has traits of a wolf.
While Garu doesn't recognize him as he's very hostile and tries to tackle Sukar. Only to end up being electrocuted on the laser barrier and falls down.
As Sukar is surprised by what happened,
"Sukar. Over here, "
Someone is calling his name.
When he turns around, Sukar is surprised to see someone he knows. Which is their vice principal, Angsa.
They approach her as they're relieved to see her again. While Angsa will have to explain what happened.
But then.
Both Sukar, Mele, even Felisa, who wakes as she's startled, are suddenly hearing voices in their heads
"What is going on?" Angsa asked
Then each one of them hears a voice again.
"Don't freak out. It's me, Yuri."
They're surprised to hear her voice through their heads.
She explains that she uses telepathy ability to communicate with one another through their minds. And it works.
Also, Yuri informs that she is also in contact with the others, which they can hear from them as well.
They ask who she is with, Yuri replies that she's with Jericho and Lee-yu, and they're in the middle of the desert that's outside of the city of dragons.
Then, wonders where the others are, which the rest responded and explain where they are. Mei, Eelin, and Magi are in the middle of the jungle. Sukar, Mele, and Felisa were captured and brought to prison. But they all managed to escape. Also, they went all the way to find the operatives which they met Garu and Angsa.
While Felisa is acting hostile to others. Sukar and Mele explain that the energy crystal has also affected her animal instincts, which made her act like an actual cat. Including Garu since he's also part animal.
As they ask where Lumi is, which she's alone in the palace that is owned by the king of dragons.
"What?! How are you in the castle?" The others are surprised.
"It's okay. I'm fine. But I'm trying to find a way out. But how did you manage to use your powers? Wouldn't it be malfunctioned from the energy crystals?" Lumi asked.
"Well... All I did was put the piece of energy crystal inside my Alpha License, so I activated the armor, which this can keep my powers from losing control." Yuri explained.
Much to surprised Eelin since her every attempt to connect the energy crystal to the devices ends up blowing up. But never thought of the Alpha License would keep itself from blowing up. She lamented that she couldn't think of that, while the others reassured that she did her best.
But before planning to reunite with each other, Lumi has informed about the news that she has discovered, as she's in the room with a computer from what she has seen, as the dragons are planning for world dominance.
Lumi searched for more information on the computer. When she finds evidence, she explains that they'll use a machine that looks like a satellite dish to gather all of the energy crystals like a magnet that put together into a giant asteroid. Planning to launch them towards the planets they target to destroy them. They'll do it today at sunset!
Everyone is stunned from learning from the news. They decide to resolve to stop them from destroying the rest of the alien kind as they have to destroy the super weapon. But Lumi tells them that the super weapon is somewhere else, not in the palace.
It is located on the west side of this planet, where it's located at the icy mountains, while the volcano is actually a facility as a disguise where the super weapon is hidden inside.
But it's not going to be easy to sneak through all by themselves while they're too far away to meet each other.
Eelin has a suggestion. They have found some kind of black colored tower, and it seems to be made out of energy crystal. Lee-yu informed that it is the energy crystal that can give power to the dragon city. But Eelin has a plan.
She plans to hack on the super weapon because it looks like a satellite dish, rather than using it to destroy planets, but to manipulate the black towers by changing the effects from the energy crystals in the whole atmosphere of this planet so everyone could use their powers and machines then calling for back up. The others aren't sure if it would work, but Eelin assured it would unless she'll try.
As Sukar and Mele are discussing with others,
"..."
"Hey."
Which noticed Sukar and Mele and turned around.
"Care to explain what you are doing?"
Angsa, while remaining stoic, is left to be ignored by the three and demand explanation.
They explain that it was Yuri who uses her power to communicate with someone through their minds. While learning from the others that the dragons are planning to destroy the rest of the alien kind.
Angsa recalls the time when the operatives intervene the fleet of dragons from their invasion. Just to take back what's theirs.
To which they wonder what that is. Angsa suggests having contact with the rest so she can explain.
Once they asked Yuri to share the communication with Angsa, she managed to get Angsa to communicate with the group through minds. While complementing them for their effort to reach for the dragon planet. But also learning that their friend is a dragon.
But the explanation will have to wait as Angsa has to tell what truly happened to how they got themselves captured by the dragons. It all happened when one of the squad members of the galactic military government made foolish actions for chasing after the fleet that led themselves, and the rest who tried to stop them, captured by dragons. Since it happened when their ships and gadgets short circuit after entering the dragon planet, that's when they're overpowered and get captured by the dragons.
Sukar asked her what she said about the dragons on wanting to take back what's theirs. Angsa reveals that when they're being interrogated by the dragons, one of their kind was outside at space that wasn't supposed to leave the planet, while being hassled by the other alien kind.
Which is the reason why the dragons form a fleet to pursue the galaxy for what they did to one of their kind.
Everyone realizes it is Lee-yu since she's the one who left the planet that she's not supposed to be, and being hassled by the aliens because she went berserk by Nefertine that led herself to cause rampage throughout the galaxy.
This distraught Lee-yu, blaming her selfish actions that led into a conflict.
But he decided to confess her reasons why she ran away in the first place, including lying, because she wants to forget about that nightmare.
First, she explains why the dragons despise the outsiders.
It happened when something came out of the sky. A powerful laser beam that rains over the dragon planet that would kill most of the dragons. Not even their protective barrier couldn't shield from the blast.
There was the previous king who died protecting his people.
Upon discovering that the lasers came from outer space where there's a spaceship with a giant laser cannon.
The others are disbelieving on why someone would do such a thing.
Lee-yu doesn't know why but continues to explain where the queen shall no wage war against the outsiders because she doesn't want to bring terrible consequences that would endanger their kind. However, she's suddenly murdered by her traitorous son and went on hiding. Leaving her 2nd son, Ri-yu, to take the throne.
He then gave the low class dragons, including children, to give them a job in order to help the kingdom, while she and her parents are a part of this.
However, it's actually a trap!
They forced people to work in the facility to build a machine that would destroy planets, but they'll torture them if they don't comply with their orders.
Having spent a year from the abuse, Lee-yu and her parents try to escape. But her parents risked their lives to help her escape, while they got themselves executed after being recaptured.
Witnessing her parents' death has driven Lee-yu to run away by traveling to another planet to be away from the king.
Once Lee-yu finishes explaining about her past, everyone is left to be stunned, yet angry for what the king did. But also, whoever brought death to the previous king that led a conflict to the dragons shall pay a price for it.
Only Lee-yu burst into tears, crying for putting everyone in danger. Jericho tries to claim that it's Nefertine's fault, only she starts to run off in tears.
Both Jericho and Yuri try to chase after her.
They pleaded her not to leave, but Lee-yu raises her wings and is about to fly off.
But then, she's suddenly caught in a snare of a trap net that causes to fall on the ground. Lee-yu tries to free herself, but the net electrocutes her. This shock has caused her to pass out.
Jericho and Yuri try to reach for her. But they both get caught up by a trap net and get electrocuted as well. Once they passed out, Yuri's armor lost it's power as it vanished.
It turned out to be the knight dragons who managed to track them down, which was led by the king, Ri-yu.
Then, he ordered to take their belongings before leaving. As they check their things such as their Alpha License, while they're surprised that Yuri's umbrella is also a gun that can shoot a bullet, then finds Jericho's elemental gems Ri-yu becomes interested in the gems upon seeing its power and decides to keep them for himself.
After that, they head for the city to bring the outsiders for their public execution.
With Yuri being unconscious, she won't be able to contact the others anymore
.
.
.
.
.
"Yuri? Yuri? Anyone?"
Unable to contact Yuri or the others, Sukar and Mele realize that they're in danger and seek to rescue them.
But before they do, they have to break everyone out of the prison.
Once they released Angsa, the prison guards broke in to recapture the escaped prisoners.
Angsa will buy them time to release the rest of the operatives while fending off the prison guards.

Mei, Eelin, and Magi try to call for others but to no avail. Worried if something would happen to them. They proceeded to search for them, but then, they noticed that there was an icy mountain nearby.
Thinking about infiltrating inside to intervene from destroying the planet. But Mei states it is risky to do this alone.
But Eelin points out that the sun is about to set as it might be too late and they have no choice.
So they proceeded to infiltrate the facility.

Upon hearing about her friends being in danger, Lumi tries to look for an exit through the computer.
But someone is entering the room. Forcing Lumi to flee by entering through the air vent.
She crawled all the way through, then jumped down to the bottom where the whole area was empty while it only had pillars.
However, more dragon knights are approaching the area. Before thinking about where to hide, someone grabs and pulls her behind the pillar right before being caught up by the knights.
At the back of the pillar, there's a person wearing a cloak holding Lumi while covering her mouth so she won't make a noise.
As she struggles to release herself,
"Do not be alarmed. I am not your enemy. I am going to help you."
The stranger stated, but Lumi is not sure if she could trust someone she just met.
