In the end, the group had to wait for Chris to arrive.
Emma had messaged him to find out where he was, and that's when the boy realized he had gotten carried away and quickly hurried to meet up with the girls.
What he didn't expect was to see Ace, as Emma had not mentioned that in the message she sent.
Emma probably kept it from him to surprise him about seeing Ace.
Ace too looked at Chris with curiosity evident in his eyes.
Ace was able to confirm that all his teammates had evolved, although he couldn't gauge how powerful they were currently since he had not seen them fighting all out.
Ace had only managed to see a little of Emma's performance, but he could at least confirm that evolving seemed to have some beautifying effect.
Ace wasn't in a rush to find out how powerful they were, even though he was curious.
