El drove the truck from New York into Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, they searched for the city. “You're telling me you don’t know where your hometown is? Y’know how hard it is to drive with one arm??” El scolded. Thea responded with the same amount of anger, “It’s been a long time okay?! I don’t remember the exact path!”. Sanzang was sticking his head out the window, while Ethan was struggling to keep him inside the car. “I offered to drive at least 7 times now!” Ajesh yelled. “You're too young to drive!” El yelled back, clearly fed up with everyone's talking. Ethan just gave up and pulled out his phone and searched the city up. “Five Seasons City right? I’ll just search it up on Google Maps. Problem solved! Arguing like monkeys, AND I’M SUPPOSED TO BE THE MONKEY” Etha yelled. With Ethan’s directions they ended up getting to the city. Sanzang jumped out like a dog getting stuck in the house and finally going on a walk. He started jumping around, from building to building, using his wind to cushion the fall. Right as he was in the middle of the air he was hit with a hammer. It had the force of an 18-wheeler, and struck lightning when hit. “WHO ARE YOU ASIAN MAN” the boy yelled right after hitting him. Sanzang landed on the ground, clearly not having the best time. “I just got here, come on!” Sanzang yelled while gasping for air. Sanzang ran up to him and kicked him in the head. Ethan was watching and noticed something. “Was that kick imbued with…Divine Soul? How is that possible?”. Sanzang followed up his kick with a back kick in the stomach, sending the boy with a hammer back. “Didn’t bother to introduce yourself but still using your Nova abilities! Shame! Shame on you!”. The boy dashed up to him and used a supercharged hit to send Sanzang into a house. “Sorry sorry. Just got sent by an ABSOLUTE LUNATIC.”. Thea and Ethan were watching, and decided to walk around a bit. “I wonder if they still live here.” Thea said, saying her thoughts out loud. “Which house do they live in? Wait…it's that big mansion up there isn’t it?” Ethan asked Thea. “Yeah but it looks very beat up. Let’s knock and see who’s in there.” She said before knocking on the mansion's door. A girl with green highlights in her hair answered the door. “Thea?” The girl said. “Tabia?” Thea responded. They hugged, and Tabia invited them in. “It’s been so long! How’ve you been??” Tabia asked Thea as they sat down. Meanwhile Ethan explored the large mansion. While Thea and Tabia talked about what’s happened in their lives in the past few months, Ethan went to the basement of the mansion. He saw a bunch of mechanical parts hanging up. “I didn’t know the Green Tipped Hair Girl was a mechanic.” Ethan remarked. “A bunch of armor and stuff. Mech’s and shit. Black gold and red. Not her colors right?”. “That’s because they aren’t hers, they’re mine.” a disembodied voice said. Ethan took out a toothpick and manifested The Golden Hooped Rod, and put it on his shoulders with his hands resting on it. A mech suit around 15 feet tall walked up, standing over Ethan. “They’re mine. Names Kenji, Pleasure to meet you.”. The mech’s hand transformed into a cannon, and he pointed it at Ethan. “How bout a fight to celebrate the first use of the Atlas Armor against another Nova.”
