Chapter 18:

A New Beginning

Lyceus Awaits


Now the Argonauts had filled its missing slots so it was time for their big mission to find the ENIGMA maker that would ultimately lead them to The Head.

First things first, William asked Axcel about Lily and what he has gotten to know about her. Axcel told him everything he knew about her and that she now feels safe here. Lily was always used for her expertise since the beginning so her life was never normal at least for a 12 year old. She herself didn't know the whereabouts of her parents and she had never went to school. She told the others how she was at that place from the start and it was surprising for her that Max and Axcel even found out she existed. Axcel had used his sources and Max just used Axcels information to find out her possible location. Thanks to Axcel after his birthday plan not only Lily but everyone now felt like at home.

About Lily's suit it was light pink in colour and an exception to her suit was that it had technician tools attached all over it. She had the ability to disable suits with, advance anything related to tech and turned weapons into a monstrous piece of tech that could do a lot of damage. After weapons were advanced by her they could be used by anyone so her suit basically made her an even better technician and gave her everything a technician needs and made her a good teammate.

On the other hand, Anthony had asked Axcel to check on his mother who was back in Argus in a secret location where she was also recieving medical treatment and getting proper medicines. Axcel told him that she was safe, fine and doing well. Only Axcel knew where she was as he used his contacts to place her there.

William and Axcel both had a lot of contacts and were filthy rich but Axcel being the nicer one of the two normally used contacts and William being the richer of the two normally used his money.

Weeks had gone by but there was no progress in finding Ethan Guntur, even Max wasn't able to find a location where Ethan might be as he was being shown at many locations at the same time which was confusing and showed the locations were fake.

However, there was some work done by Lily and Martin. Lily had modified all the suits making them even better than before and making their abilities more effectively usable. She also fixed any problem that was in the suit and repaired all damaged parts that were there mainly after the fight with Nathan Gale. Martin on the other hand had completely the weaponary and items he was working on. Obviously all the weaponary items could be used or shared by anyone but they were assigned to specific suitable person. He made small pocket rockets for Max, smoke bombs for Victoria, energy vials such as stamina and strength for Anthony, gumballs that could also be used in a gun for Lily and bombs that could be powered by gravity for William. An electric shield glove along with a 4 minutes invisibilty vial was made for Alice to be used for protection just in case. For Axcel Lily and Martin worked together to make him a whole new equipment. The equipment consisted of a blue and black suit with a hood and mask that covered his face upto his nose, Gloves that would make his punches stronger than normal and grip sticky, Bow and Arrow that could be powered up by fire, water and gravity and lastly Handguns with impulse and shockwave bullets.

Meanwhile, William and Alice were also busy with their romance. Alice's birthday was very near now and William had planned to propose her with a diamond ring and ask her to marry him on her birthday. William had already told Axcel about this and told Axcel that he would no longer carry on with their plan but he will be there if Axcel needs any help. Axcel, despite the fact that William said before he would not leave the mission, didn't want to disturb him so he didn't tell him to stay on the mission and decided to work on the mission or the plan alone as he wanted William to focus on himself and be happy. Axcel told this everyone else which saddened most of them because of the promises made to them but as they trusted Axcel as well he was made the team leader and things were calmed down.

The day before Alice's birthday William took Alice in dinner and when it was 12 he surprised her with the proposal. Alice's answer was yes and the two decided to tied the knot in the morning. They had also planned to have a proper wedding when they get back to Argus. It was a new beginning in a life full of sadness and vengeance.
