Eye System

As Lex taunted Zeek and encouraged him to attack them, he deactivated the Telekinetic Control Eye and was planning on fighting him in hand to hand combat, which Zeek believed was Lex's biggest mistake.

Little did he know, Lex was also more confident in hand to hand combat and was extremely skilled and experienced in it.

Zeek was impressive in combat, and his transformation was unique and fascinating to observe.

Using some sort of cheetah-like beast transformation, he burst towards Lex, but then used some sort of gorilla-like beast transformation before reaching Lex.

That allowed him to display great explosive power and speed, and then unleash a strong attack.

Lex took his fist head-on and was impressed by the force behind it, but their gap in power and strength was still too large to be overcome using only the beast transformations.

"Your strength is not bad, but your attacks are too predictable. You are human, so try to use your human intelligence along with your beast strength, otherwise, you won't be able to defeat truly powerful and skilled opponents."

To their surprise, Zeek did exactly that and in their 20 minute battle that Lex had to hold back in, he continuously improved.

He would mimic Lex movements and attempt to learn how he fought, then replicate it and use it against him.

It was far from enough to land a successful attack on Lex, and to most, it would appear as though Lex was merely beating Zeek into a pulp, but the truth was, he was greatly pleased Lex with his fast learning capability.

Zeek was panting and had been beaten badly by Lex, but he still seemed unwilling to give up and Lex could see why he was fighting so hard.

Placing his hand on his shoulder, Lex teleported him with him.

Zeek felt an unusual feeling for an instant and opened his eyes to find that he was in the church that he had grown up in.

He was shocked and could tell that it wasn't an illusion, quickly turning around to see that the woman that raised him was fine.

Zeek wanted to hug her and feel her warmth, but at the same time, he wanted to stay away from her and expected her to see him as a monster after his display of power and fighting like a beast.

To his surprise, she rushed towards him, but as she did, she tripped over and for an old lady such as herself, such a fall could be fatal.

Zeek was fatigued and beaten, unable to react quick enough, but before she hit the ground, Lex appeared by her side in the blink of an eye and caught her.

"I have brought you, Zeek, to speak to for a short while, but I will need to take him back and I am in a rush. Once I am finished with him, you are free to stay with him and I am sure he will come and get you guys and allow everyone to live happy and prosperous lives," stated Lex before helping the old lady walk over to Zeek.

She had tears in her eyes and all she felt was happiness and relief.

The guilt that had been eating her up for years was still there, imagining how much pain, suffering and struggle he must have had to experience alone to gain such monstrous power.

However, she was glad that he was alive and hadn't lost himself to it as she embraced him in her arms.

The monster that fought wildly with all sorts of beast transformations became a child in the old lady's arms.

"I am proud of you Zeek and this man saved us and seems to have plans for you. I think you should trust him and he is the one that has defeated and taken over most of the cruel bandits that have been tormenting us on this island," she whispered to him.

Zeek, despite loving and caring for her, had endured a lot through his life and wasn't ignorant or naive enough to trust someone just based on what she said.

However, based on what he had seen of Lex and his own judgement, it was clear to Zeek that Lex was an incredible and good person, while he also didn't have any bad intentions towards him, otherwise, he would have already been killed many times over.

"We shall be going back now. If you show me you are worthy and are ready to take on board my responsibilities and tasks for you, then I guarantee that you will be able to live a satisfying life. With power, you can make sure that nobody has to struggle like you and those around you have had to. You can be a protector and leader, but that is only if you have the drive to do so,"

After saying that, Lex walked back over to Zeek and teleported them back to Angela and Ella.

"Was that proof enough that they are fine?" asked Ella and Angela, who had been filled in by most of what had occurred by Lex.

"Yes. I sorry for what I had done, and no want to angry at you,"

Lex smiled and was amused by how Zeek spoke, but was more interested in his origin and finding out as much as he could about him.

Zeek spoke slowly, and it was hard for him to form sentences and gather the words he needed to get his point across, so it was difficult and time-consuming for him to answer their questions.

[From what I can tell the part of his mind that solves problems, stores information and interprets information has been dormant and is barely used by Zeek. He has been relying on instincts for so long, that it is difficult to balance his instincts with the control and intelligence of his mind] analysed Lex.

There was a simple solution that Lex could use, which was to transfer the knowledge that he had on how to speak, write and read to Zeek, which was risky to use on most, but would be fine for Zeek.
