7 Stranger things happening!
As the creatures in Ato's area were all eliminated, Ato struck the shorter stick with the longer one causing it to glow and shoot upwards like a rocket in the direction of the soldiers.
With his palm open, he raised his left arm towards the airborne stick. Then, he abruptly pulled his arm and closed his palm at the same time as if pulling the stick from the air.
The seven-inch long stick didn't only came back to him, he himself was also carried upwards to the stick. This was actually Ato's method of flying. The strong momentum of the shooting stick can carry his weight, thus allowing him to have limited flight.
And as he was about to reach the area where the soldiers were fighting, he let go of pulling the shorter stick and this made him descend towards a tailless grey and white-colored Borac.
This creature was holding a police and was pushing him against a palm tree. The Borac appeared to be kissing the police since its mouth was pressed towards the police's mouth.
The creature was the female borac. The creature is forcing its tongue through the police' mouth!
Ato struck the borac on its side even before his feet touched the ground and it was thrown away and hit a palm tree causing the tree to broke and fell. The female creature's backbone broke. It howled on the ground and soon died!
An instant after Ato's feet touched the ground, he caught the shorter stick which was descending towards him and have ceased glowing.
Ato happened to glance at the nameplate of the police he just saved and read "PO1 Jope Tria." Jope's stare was still blank. His only seeing the memory of the faces of his batchmates ripped and eaten.
With a swiftness much faster than those of the boracs, the thirteen-year old kid pursued and struck with the longer stick the nearby creatures and hit with the shorter stick those that were at a distance.
The remaining boracs noticed Ato and gathered towards him to take him down. But what they did only allowed him to finish them quick. One blow with the longer stick send every creature to an instant death.
Seeing all the creatures down, Ato briefly surveyed with his eyes the entire area. Now, he's convinced all the enemies have been dealt with already. Then he returned to Tina and Olen's location.
Ato was furious with Olen, blaming his pride for putting Tina in close danger and for the many lives lost.
"You should have called our help earlier!" exclaimed Ato with a rough voice.
Olen felt insulted and wanted to talk back. But he saw Tina bathing with her own blood, though, the wounds have started to heal already. He felt embarrassed and deep guilt and didn't say anything.
He avoided Ato and walked away; and, looking for something, headed towards a nearby coconut tree.
Partly embedded in the tree was an improvised shuriken weapon made from shark teeth. The teeth were arranged and woven to form a ten-inch diameter disk. It has a portion where there were no shark teeth. This portion was where the user can hold this weapon.
"I was right. It wasn't Ato," Olen murmured as he picked the disk weapon and put it into his pocket inside his jacket.
He's excited to tell Tina that it wasn't Ato who saved her. For Olen, this was a big good news! But when he glanced at her, he realized this can be done later.
Although, being the son of one of the richest couples in the country, Olen was insecure of Ato. He saw him as a rival not only in terms of who's more powerful or better but also in terms of winning Tina's admiration and affection.
The shark teeth were each two and a half inches long and unusually sharp and tough. It was this object that wounded the creature's neck causing the creature to let go of Tina.
"But who could that person be?" Olen wondered.
Someone else, present in the scene, had thrown the shark-teeth disk and saved Tina. But it jumped into the water and left the place even before the fight ended.
Ato gave Tina a piece of paper with the words, "Boracay" and "Headquarters," written on it. Tina folded the paper into a plane.
Then she summoned a little amount of hellfire and imbued it on the paper plane. Suddenly, the paper plane's size grew as big as a van. The three climbed the paper plane.
Tina and Ato sat on top of the plane while Olen was standing. Using hellfire, Tina caused the paper plane to fly. The three left the island.
Once launched, the plane's color became transparent like a glass. From below, the kids were not visible because the plane wass reflecting the appearance of its surrounding.
Although the plane's appearance was like that of a glass, its material remain that of a paper. Because of this, the plane was not detectable to a radar.
Tina's use of hellfire was not magical type. She used it as a brute weapon and shield. She never knew that hellfire can be used magically.
But the paper given to her by Ato was imbued with magic that can be activated by hellfire. It was prepared by one of their teammates who was a magic-type hellfire user.

Just less than a minute after the three kids left the island, two foreign men in military uniform arrived in Boracay island. They landed in the White Beach to investigate the area.
Their uniform, however, had a light-brown shade. Whereas, the uniform of the Boracay soldiers had a dark-green shade. Both of them were capable of flying.
The surviving soldiers were still inside the restaurant. They're still afraid to come out, thinking that the creatures will attack them anytime.
A while ago, one of them sneaked outside and saw the creatures leaving their location. He told the others about this. But they didn't know that the creatures were attacking Ato that time and that, as a consequence, they have all been eliminated.
"We're late," one of the foreigners said. He appeared to be the superior. He was smaller in height and build compared to his muscular subordinate.
"It's because you were delayed," he added.
"Sorry, boss," the other replied.
Meanwhile, PO1 Tria had came back to his senses and he suddenly turned alert. He remembered what the female creature did to him. The creature forced its tongue inside his body through his mouth! He remembered very well the terrible pain he experienced that time.
Suddenly, he felt something stranger happening inside him. His pupils dilated, which was quickly followed by a strong feeling of nausea and headache!
Now, his entire body was aching. The pain was excruciating such that he felt like he was being pricked by millions of needles. Jope was twisting his body while rolling and groaning in the sand. He was now vomiting lots of blood!
His veins have became thick and greenish in color. Thick veins become visible all over his body especially the neck. Also, something mysterious was happening with his left arm.
The cells and tissues were multiplying at a rapid rate and flesh, color green and pinkish red, were growing from his arm! The large blue-green veins that appeared on his neck climb to his cheeks and reached his eyes causing his pupils to turn green.
Minutes after, the pain subsided and Jope was slowly experiencing relief. Not long enough, the pain had almost gone. The combination of fatigue and relief caused him to fall asleep. But his arm was still growing.
Moments after, his sleep was interrupted by an intolerable thirst! He suddenly woke up due to extreme feeling of dryness in his mouth and throat.
His thirst was so intense that it made his breathing difficult. Jope felt he will die soon from asphyxiation!

As the two foreign soldiers were surveying the place, one of the creatures regained consciousness. It's one of those bigger and stronger boracs.
Actually, it's the strongest among the eight and it had a slightly different appearance. Perhaps it was as strong as the female one.
The soldiers thought they've killed this beast already when it was hit directly at a close distance by a grenade revolver and fell to the ground. Truth is, it only temporarily lost its consciousness.
The creature incurred wounds from the grenade blast but it had now regained its full strength. Suddenly, the creature thrust its strong arm hitting directly the neck of the bigger foreign soldier with its claws!
But the man only looked at the creature with an air of superiority. The beast's strongest attack didn't have any effect on him. Even his skin was only scratched by the creature's claws. In contrast, when this creature first appeared from underground and attacked the simba vehicle, its claws pierced through the vehicle's 8mm-thick steel body.
The creature was stunned at what it encountered. It was intelligent enough to recognize immediately the man's overwhelming power. The feoreigner held the creature's wrist with his left hand and punched it with his right in the forehead causing its head to burst like it was nothing.
The boss, on the other hand, didn't even looked at the creature when it attacked and after it was instantly killed by his subordinate.
The two continued to stroll the area. After a while, the superior told his subordinate that he'll leave now. The boss flew at high speed and left the island.
Moments after, the foreign soldier that was left noticed a person in the shore. He was surprised to see that the man was drinking sea-water copiously.
The foreigner believed the man was a surviving soldier because of the military uniform he's wearing. He approached him.
He's convinced this man was either not in his self or was suicidal. The man hasn't stopped yet from drinking the salty water. When the foreigner was near him, the former held his upper arm to stop him.
"Hey, you," said the foreigner .
The man jerked as he was startled by somebody suddenly holding his left arm. He stood up, turned around and saw the foreign soldier who was also in military uniform.
The foreigner looked at the nameplate of the soldier. He reads "PO1 Jope Tria." But to the astonishment of the foreigner, he sensed the back of his lower body burst. When he looked down, he saw Jope Tria's arm inside his abdomen!
Jope's thrust of his fist was so quick that the man in front him did'nt saw it coming. His right fist pierced through the body of the foreigner!
The hole in the foreigner's abdomen revealed his metallic body. It was, in fact, made from gold-titanium alloy, which is so tough that the Milkor grenade revolver mentioned before can only scratch it.
The man was really an android. A pure machine with advanced artificial intelligence. This explains why he wasn't even scratched when the huge borac attacked him.
But something mysterious has happened to Jope Tria. He was, right now, possessing immense power. How powerful he was, no one can tell. But one thing was clear, he was strong enough that the super tough gold-titanium alloy was but nothing to him.
The damage on the android caused it to short-circuit. Then it powered off and drifted underwater.

Seven minutes have passed since all the boracs left the military, who were gathered inside the restaurant, to attack Ato. The military waited for seven minutes before making a move.
Seven minutes seemed too fast for the soldiers but, unknown to them, many things have happened already. They didn't even saw Ato fought and eliminated all the boracs.
One of them, sneaked to take a look at the situation outside. He saw a soldier walking in the area. He told the others about the soldier and they keenly observe him.
Two minutes after, nothing seemed to happen. They decided to come out. After exploring a bit the area, they found out that all creatures have been eliminated already.
When they approached the soldier, they recognize that it's PO1 Jope Tria. His left arm had already fully regenerated, hence, none of them knew what really happened to him.
They attempted to talk to him but he's not responding. He's still in shock, they thought so.
"He just graduated from the police academy. And his two batchmates – his close friends – have been killed," one soldier told the others in a low voice.
When they saw the female creature dead and the one whose head was crushed, they became convinced that the war was indeed over and that no boracs went to attack the civilians.
Their hearts warmed up and they all cried upon realizing that they survived the war. The soldiers believed that the two kids that they saw fighting the creatures were responsible for finishing the battle.
After the fight, out of the more than four hundred armed personnel, there were only sixty-one, including the reinforcements, who survived – many of whom were injured.
