Jirro and Corri woke in a panic once they realized Aero was missing. Nout and the rest of the tribe helped search the nearby area, but there was no sign of him.
"Modi and Emil might've taken him!" A frustrated Corri said.
"We'll help get him back," Cmar said sternly.
Jirro knew they couldn't stand against Modi. She was too strong. Despite that, Cmar gathered all the men of the tribe together to send a search party out.
But before Cmar could send anyone out, a hooded man entered the woods and headed towards the village. All of the Phantine people were put on high alert, but Jirro was at ease.
Cmar stood in the path of the man, "What brings you to my village?"
The man pulled back his hood. He was a Ralosian with black hair, a light beard, and was fairly short. Corri saw the man's face and exclaimed, "Dad!"
"Uncle Razan!" Jirro shouted out as the two rushed over to him.
Razan gave them a big smile. Corri threw her arms around her father, with Jirro following close behind.
"Where were you, dad!?" Corri asked.
"Looking for you," Razan replied and briefly glanced around, "Where's Aero?"
"An old women named Modi took him!" Jirro exclaimed, "I have an idea of where she might've taken him."
Cmar stood tall, "I can have a search party to assist you in rescuing Aero."
Razan didn't pay Cmar any mind, only focusing on his daughter and nephew, "Jirro, where do you think she took him?"
"To a cave near here with-"
"-a cave with a bunch of huts at its end?" Razan interrupted.
Jirro raised an eyebrow at him, "Yeah! How did you know that?"
Razan smirked, "Your dad should be able to take care of it then. We should sit tight here until he comes back with Aero."

Modi and Emil walked through the caverns to their hideout. Aero started to return to consciousness, and he began to wriggle around to try and get away.
"Looks like the kid's awake," Emil said, holding Aero solidly over his shoulder.
"Let me go!" Aero shouted.
"No." Emil said simply.
"You two are going to be sorry when my dad comes for you!" Aero yelled while wriggling around futilely. He thrashed against the handcuffs he wore, but they were meant to restrain some of the strongest criminals in the world. More than enough for him.
As they reached their hideout, Modi felt a chill in the air and stopped. Ahead of her was a hooded man, sitting cross-legged at the center of the small settlement. When Emil saw him, he froze up.
The hooded man stood and pulled his hood back. Black hair, a thick black beard, and a scar over his brow. He was muscular, short, and was familiar to Modi. Aero exclaimed, "Uncle Lucar!" Emil threw Aero off his shoulder onto the ground.
The man, Lucar, stared at Aero's captors, "You two sure are persistent. How's your cheek doing, old lady?"
Modi rubbed her bruised cheek. She tried to fight them within their home on the mountain, but Lucar delivered a powerful blow to her cheek. She knew she was foolish for trying to challenge them directly.
Modi looked around and noticed Lucar was alone. Razan was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps she could handle him while he was alone.
"Let him go," Lucar said strongly.
Modi pulled out an extra set of handcuffs, "Let us put these on you, and we'll set him free."
Lucar stared blankly at them.
Modi passed the handcuffs to Emil and whispered, "I'm going to attack him. You keep your distance. If you see an opening, cuff him. Understand?"
"Are you sure you can take him?" Emil asked.
"We'll see," Modi whispered.

Modi charged forward at great speed and furiously threw punch after punch at Lucar, he casually blocked and dodged each one effortlessly. She threw a punch into the air, and a bright light emerged from her and struck Lucar, launching him into one of the huts. It crumbled into pieces on top of him.
While Lucar effortlessly casted the pieces of the huts off him, Emil circled behind him. He managed to throw one cuff over Lucar's wrist and rushed to cuff the other.
Modi laughed at the sight of the cuffed Lucar. She got him. She finally got him. Who cared about his brother? The bounty she would get off of him would be more than enough.
Lucar was calm, "Alright, you got me. Now let Aero go."
Modi snickered, "As you wish!" She pulled a key from her robes and undid the young Aero's cuffs. He glared at her as she did.
As soon as Aero was free, Lucar inhaled and exhaled deeply for a moment, and a faint blue light surrounded him. Was he using Focus?
The ground began to shake. Lucar let out a yell, and the ground beneath him cracked. Emil was sent flying into the air, and the cuffs that bound him crumbled to pieces.
Modi looked upon Lucar in terror, "That's impossible!" Lucar slowly walked towards Modi, his face still calm.
Lucar dug his foot into the earth, and with a cracking sound, lunged forward at a staggering speed towards Modi. She rushed to put up her guard, but he was too fast. Lucar delivered a powerful punch to her gut, launching her body into the rock walls of the cavern.
Modi struggled to crawl out of the hole in the rock walls that Lucar had planted her in. But she knew she couldn't keep fighting. He defeated her with a single blow. Emil was rendered unconscious elsewhere in the cave.
Lucar brushed himself off casually and walked over to Aero, "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm okay."
"Where's Jirro and Corri?"
"They should be in the Bog Woods! We've been looking for you!"
"Well, let's not keep them waiting," Lucar replied.
Modi watched as the two left the cave. There was nothing she could do stop them. Even on his own, he was too powerful to be stopped. 428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjvwbkps0A
