Ken is now released from the trap of that girl. The girl now reached at her power’s limit. Now she has final option left.

  The girl is about to use her last option, she generate countless buds on her body. The plants buds covered her whole body. The green and brown buds covering her whole face, she passes a smile to Ken. Ken doesn’t understand but he sense danger. Suddenly, the voice inside his head shouts, “Move, you idiot.” The fully budded body is about to explode but before it happens, Ken step backs and creates a shield out of his arm blades. The buds explode and Ken got some damage but he was all fine and uses his regeneration to counter the damages from explosion.

  Ken can’t understand how she was able to explode herself and the voice answers, “It was dangerous but most probably she use her mutation specialty. The mutation specialty allows you to use a special technique of your mutation. The specialty in her case could be any special activity happens in only specific species of any plant. But I had never seen any plant exploding.”

  Ken looks at her body and shockingly, the skin is covered with a thick layer of bark like skin, she was still safe. Now she was ready to continue the fight. The bud generates and she was about to do the same attack but before that, Ken takes out his arm blades and goes behind her. She couldn’t even think what was Ken about to do. Suddenly, she attacks at Ken with the root tentacles but they didn’t have that much power to move. The root tentacles don’t even move and Ken cut them. Then Ken runs and comes other back and cut the brain like parasite on backside of her neck.

  The parasite controlling her got damage and this make her go rampage. The girl repetitively attack at Ken and Ken was dodging them and uses his left blade to cut the brain like parasite and saves her. The brain like parasite tries to disconnect from the body of the girl and run from the place. The brain like parasite thinks detaches itself from the spinal cord of the girl and tries to run before Ken kill it. The parasite detaches and takes out his control over the girl and she got unconscious.

  But Ken was waiting for it Ken catches it and cut it into halves. The two identical halves aren’t dead yet and still tries to run. They cover themselves into a fluid and slip from the hands of Ken. Ken was ready for it and he changes the shape of his arm blades like sharp knife and cuts them like jellies. The brain like parasite finally dies and the dead matter convert into a thick red tar. The red tar was left behind like some spoiled blood sacs.

  Ken then look at the girl. Her mutation was now fixing and she can’t handle it anymore. Her condition is severely injured. The spinal cord was damaged.

  Ken asks the voice, “What should I do to save her?”

  The voice answers, “Nothing to be worried about. If you use your power then you can heal her.”

  Ken thinks to help her but the girl wakes up and back to conscious and she tries to sit up but she can’t move her body properly. She uses her mutation power and generates plants all around her neck and tries to heal her. Ken asks the girl about her.

  He asks, “Who are you and what was that parasite?”

  the girl replies, “shouldn’t I ask who are you and what is this place?”

  Ken tells her, “first answer mine questions then I will answer yours”

  “I am an evolved human. My name is HEPE 006 Miona.", The girl answers Ken, "I don’t know about the parasite but I know that on that day, that person had taken out a part of a brain like thing and put it on my neck. Then I feel as if I become someone’s puppet. Now tell me, where am I and who are you?”

  Ken understands that the girl was controlled by that parasite and she didn’t know about these things, she was controlled all the time. Ken tells her, “I am Ken and you are currently…” the compartment in which they were fighting all the time is now come to rest and Miona sense that something bad is outside. Ken support Miona to stand up and help her to walk. They both come outside and it was very terrifying for Ken and Miona.

  The whole subway station was covered with plants. The vines rise from grounds and walls. The flowers were bloomed on the vines and the ceiling was covered with some plant sacs. In those plant sacs, the people who were on the station were captured. Ken cut one plant sac, inside that plant sac was Rey’s aunt. She was dead and her blood was completely sucked up. The body was white and bloodless like any ghost. This scene make Miona completely shocked and terrified as she never do anything like this but the parasite make her to do this. The dead bodies were taken but then the voice whispers inside Ken’s head ask Ken to leave the place with Miona.

  Ken didn’t understand but the way the voice was telling, Ken understands it is urgent. Ken lifts Miona and uses his speed power. He knows that the all the entrances are closed by plants and vines but Miona can open it for a while. Miona was heavily terrified but still she controls herself and opens the side entrance. He uses her plants as a mask and cover up himself with her plants. Ken runs with his incredible speed and changes his direction with time so that no one can trace them. He also removes his cover up and mask.

  Ken stops in front of Rey’s house. He didn’t know about what happen to Rey but he can say that it is not good at all. He takes down Miona who is almost frightened due to the trauma she got from that scene and also the incredible speed of Ken. She asks Ken, “You run so fast with an incredible speed and also have some sharp bone like blades on your arms. Are you also an HEPE?”

  Ken gets silent as he didn’t know about but he knows that his body was changing as suddenly as he even doesn’t know about these things. The voice whispers inside his head, “Just avoid these questions. Try to avoid her questions and go inside. What wait, isn’t it Rey’s home?” Ken asks, “Okay, Also as I came here because of Rey. What has happened to him? I was so panicking that I forget to check Rey… But how can I tell him about His aunt’s death.” Ken takes courage and goes inside and Miona also follow him.

  At the site of the incident, the cops had come and check the place. Suddenly, the cops take aside and then the agents of HEX foundation have come just to investigate this incident. The agents of HEX foundation checks the side and their captain look at the compartment in which Ken and Miona had fought. He just looks at the compartment and understands that whoever was there wasn’t alone. He says, “There were two HEPEs. The one with plant based mutation but who was the other?”
