Since this place was a dead end, Cori and Luna had no way to run. When he rushed over, Luna had to tie him to one side with a dozen branches growing from the left wall. She and he quickly dodged and ran out of this small alley before he destroyed the place by launching countless things that looked like sharp, black branches (which looked quite similar to Luna's branches but were made of black ink)

- We can't confront him directly, I know how strong we are. Now we have to find a place to hide first and then figure out a way to destroy him

- Reasonable! - Cori said while running after Luna

After running for a while, the two of them finally lost him and hid in an old but quite spacious warehouse. Luna had broken the roof of this warehouse and crawled in because Cori said this place had been abandoned for a long time. After hiding for a while, both of them noticed a strange stench rushing up their noses

Cori, do you smell anything?

Although it was quite dark, he could still see that there were wooden crates stacked on top of each other in this warehouse

Yes, I find this smell very familiar…

Out of curiosity, the two of them decided to pry open the lid of a nearby crate to check and discovered

Luna, this is EXPLOSIVES

_______________

Henry, who was being controlled, was now standing on a roof near the alley where the battle had just taken place, scanning his eyes around, looking for the figures of the two children

You brats, if not for the fact that most of my power was sealed, I would have killed you all in a big way

Suddenly, he saw a black shadow passing behind a house not far away. Rushing at a dizzying speed, he flew through the dark corners of the street and immediately approached Luna who was also running away. She threw a vine in front of her, wrapped it around a water pipe, and swung it to fly very fast, this was also the way she used to "jump" when she was in the forest.

Luna kept running, Henry kept chasing closely, in no time he had chased to the warehouse. She quickly jumped onto the roof and hid in a hole where Cori was waiting. Henry quickly flew in from the collapsed roof, looking around

- You can't hide from me forever! I know everything you're doing and I won't let that happen...

While he was speaking, a bunch of thorny vines suddenly shot out everywhere, making him unable to react and was thrown to the floor, his arm was also deeply cut by a branch

- Something like you has no right to talk, quickly return to the ground where you belong, you disgusting thing! - Luna stood up and walked towards him

- Do you think these children's toys can scare me?

With a wave of his hand, Henry was able to destroy all the vines wrapped around him. Rushing straight towards Luna, she anticipated this so she gently swung up to the ceiling and thrust a powerful eucalyptus root towards him but was easily blocked. Henry even pulled the root and slammed her hard onto the floor from 5m away.

Then Luna also tried to attack but was blocked by him and beaten until she was exhausted, falling to the floor

- I thought... It turns out you're just a bunch of shallow people, don't know anything. But wait, there's a boy with you too?

- Look!!! - Cori said, pointing the tip of the sword that was emitting bright electric sparks at the vines scattered on the ground that were now gathered under the boy's feet

- What are you trying to do?!

These vines were the ones that Luna had released from the beginning to tie him up, distracting him so he wouldn't think of anything but silently connecting with all the explosive barrels around. Cori just needs to stab the electrified sword into the vines, causing the whole place to explode

"There are explosives in these barrels! You lost" - Luna stood up, using the branches to lift the barrels of explosives closer. Cori also cooperated, stabbing the sword straight into the vines, causing them to gradually burn

After a moment of silence, observing the situation, he finally sighed

"Alright, I've lost this time. However, be prepared, I'll be back!"

Black smoke began to emanate from his body, then gathered into a black ball of smoke and flew up through the hole in the ceiling

"Run, Luna!! - Cori shouted when he saw the flames approaching the barrels of explosives

"Hold on!"

Luna only had time to wrap around Cori and Henry and fly out of the warehouse before it exploded, blowing up the entire surrounding area, shaking the heavens and earth. The three of them fell onto the grass nearby, Henry was still unconscious and the two of them were staring at the burning warehouse in shock. Everyone in Rivervale was laughing and joking, also running towards them in panic.

- Let's leave this place quickly, or we'll be suspected! - Cori said.

- Will we hurt anyone?

- No, everyone's gone to the fair. Let's get away quickly, or we'll be caught!

After walking a little further, Cori and Luna stopped at a riverbank that was flowing slowly.(a branch of the river near Rivervale) to stay overnight because this place was quite far from where the explosion had just happened. The two built a small hut and laid Henry down, bandaging his wound

- Are you sure he's not his accomplice? - Cori wondered

- He probably just possessed a random person to capture us, after he wakes up we'll let him go

Having just finished speaking, Henry suddenly opened his eyes. After waking up for 2 seconds, he immediately panicked:

- What's going on? Who are you two? Where is this? Why am I lying here? What just happened?

Faced with dozens of questions from Henry, Cori and Luna immediately sat down to reassure him:

- Calm down, do you remember what just happened? - Luna asked

- No, I don't remember anything

Without saying anything, Luna placed her hand on his forehead. Her body suddenly emitted a beautiful halo, this was the brightest Cori had ever seen. Henry was confused and didn't understand what was going on. After a while, Luna calmed down, she let go of his forehead and said:

- You really don't know anything. Okay, you can leave, I won't make you do anything. But before you leave, can you tell me your name?

- I...my name is... Henry
