Chapter 12 - The promise

Tears welled in Lena's eyes as she looked at her son, his young face suddenly appearing so vulnerable despite his teenage physique. The thought of him facing unimaginable dangers sent a shiver down her spine. Yet, the weight of the twins' words, the potential annihilation of countless lives, pressed heavily on her heart. With a trembling voice, she finally conceded, "Please… please keep my son safe."

Ethan, seeing the fear and love in his mother's eyes, nodded resolutely. "I'll do it. I'll help you." He turned to Ziak and Kiaz. "What do I need to do? How do I use this tracking device?"

Kiaz stepped forward, holding up the silver wristband. "To unlock its power, to allow you to scan and replicate the Cellucas abilities, we need to directly infuse it with Zeutron particles."

Ethan frowned. "Zeutron particles? How do we do that?"

They turned to Lena, a hopeful look in their luminous eyes. "Did our father… did he give you a Zeutron particle emitter? It's a device crucial for this process."

Lena searched her memories, her brow furrowed in concentration. "No… I don't recall him mentioning anything like that, or giving me such a device."

A look of concern passed between Ziak and Kiaz. "Then it must still be on his ship," Ziak realized.

Kiaz nodded, his gaze hardening with determination. "We need to go back there. To Area 51. The Zeutron particle emitter should still be aboard."
