Jacob looked around to make sure everyone was okay. He yelled at the roots once more.
"Please, let us go."
Slowly, the dark roots seemed to unwrap itself from everyone and crawl back underground. Maria and Lidia seemed to be breathing heavily as they fell on the ground. Lidia's legs and face slowly started to heal. Slimo walked over to Doc and made sure he was okay. Meanwhile, Jacob looked at his own hands.
He was in disbelief his power worked. A small smile appeared on his face.
'So, this is what it's like to have power.'
After checking on Doc, Slimo walked over to Lidia.
"Are you okay? I slapped you pretty hard back there."
"Don't sweat it. My ability has to do with energy transfer. I can convert physical force done to myself into either my regenerative abilities or raw power. A slap like that only helped me."
Slimo stared at her impressed.
"What an incredible ability! Have you ever lost a fight hand-to-hand?!"
Lidia smiled widely.
