I flew us up to the top of the tree where the three girls were sitting and then dropped us both in the water. We both made a big splash, but it was kind of funny to see the three girls sitting frozen with the water dripping down them like nothing happened.
"Why did you drop us in? Why not just land lightly? Is it faster?" Firaga asked, and I laughed.
"I just find it fun. It is the type of thing that makes me smile, see?" I said, pointing to my own smile, and Firaga nodded her head.
"I see; when we fought, I was starting to feel excited, I think. If we could have kept going, I think I might even have smiled," Firaga said.
"When we do connect sexually, I will be able to use your abilities. If that happens, I could have a much longer and drawn-out battle with you, but we must first worry about Villains. Just relax, for now, I need to do some preparations that will take my full concentration, and I am going to merge with the tree for a bit. Are you going to be okay here alone for a bit?"
Firaga nodded at me and waded over to where the girls were sitting, joining them in the same position. The way she looked sitting with the other three almost made her look like she was the shiny edition of the girls.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat wouldn't ever be something I spoke out loud, but something I internally chuckled about as I sunk down into the tree.
Once I was inside, my view changed, and I got a complete overview of all the areas around the south and Central cities. I used the tree to scan Firaga passively and also asked the tree to scan over the fight we had just had.
The trees seemed to passively scan everything around us, and I was slowly getting stronger, but I didn't know if it was enough. This fight would be pushing me to my limits, but I wasn't alone, even if all the girls couldn't fight yet.
"Knock, Knock! Can I join you?" Sofia called like an echo in my mind.
"Yeah, if you can get in here," I called back.
Suddenly, I had a body of light, and Sofia was floating beside me. I had no idea that something like this was even possible, but I had to remember that impossible wasn't a word that should restrict my thinking.
"Good! Wow! This is way better than just looking at it on the screen!" Sofia exclaimed.
"I am glad you are here. How are your things going with tracking?" I asked, and Sofia nodded, pointing to Central City.
"I was waiting to show you this, but this is going to be way cooler! Okay, Papi, watch this!" Sofia told me, and I watched as hundreds of blue dots started to spread out from my First Great Tree.
I watched in awe as they spread out in every direction, but what was most remarkable was the speed they were moving. From what I could see on the overview, some of them were getting up to three hundred feet per second!
"How did you get them to move so fast?!" I asked in shock, and Sofia laughed.
"Nikola Tesla was a brilliant man, but he was cast out because he had figured out how to harness free power. I had seriously wondered if they could get rid of all the power in the world because there is electricity in the air, far up. I won't bore you with the details, but you can just say that I gave them something like an electric engine," Sofia explained, and I blinked at her.
"Wait, what? ...Nah, I am not even going to ask! You already created a super size me that I basically ate and can change into. Plus, then there are the katanas and machine guns growing from my hand!" I laughed, not sure how else to react; this was all so wild and crazy.
"Only problem now is that if they have to slow down, they take a very long time to speed up. That's why they were going so fast right off the hop to shoot them up on angles to get high to where they can keep moving. If they come down, the charge is not as effective, so they just look fast for now," Sofia explained, but I was wondering about the power.

"The reason why electricity doesn't work is that it doesn't exist here anymore. The energy that I am using right now is just like the energy that we get from the pools. All electricity was replaced with this new Green Energy," Sofia said, and I barked out a laugh.
"I am sure the hippies will love that!" I laughed.
I had assumed that it was too good to be true when Sofia said electric engines. Still, if we could use this Green Energy the same way, the possibilities were endless.
"I think this is good since it can't really be abused, and it is not really going to cause emissions. The world is slowly going to start to heal, and I have finally found proof of my lifelong belief and passion. You really mean a lot to me, Papi, for doing all this for me," Sofia said, floating over to me, and I smiled.
"You are definitely worth it, and I never would have gotten this far without you," I said, but then a flash of red blinked in my vision.
Both of us turned back to the overview as more and more red blinks flashed. Four thousand miles south of us, there was a group of thirty-seven, and they were headed our way.
"Sofia, start the warning and get everyone underground. From the speed they are coming, it looks like we have about two hours before they reach the outside edge of the forest. Let's get to work!"
