Chapter 26
Inside a large transporter, Zara sat on the co-driver seat looking out at the street, where they were driving. Behind the transporter, the whole rear of the car was a giant cage for animals. Inside the cage, on the floor Jin and Yi lied with their eyes closed, still down from the serum of the tranquilizer darts.
"Are you sure the other kid wouldn't be the better choice for this task?" The partner of Zara asked glancing quickly at the woman, without leaving the road for more seconds.
"I have the feeling our success will work better if we use the girl" Zara mentioned. "We both know how attached she was to that yeti when she tried to fight us off"
"Good point" The man added.
"If she follows our instructions without any hesitation. She won't have to worry about her friend's life"
"And which of the friends are you going to use to blackmail her?"
"We've got both boys one or the other will have to suffer until she agrees to help us" Zara mentioned earning a neutral look from the man, which looked back to the street. "These kids can't do anything to stop us from our goal"
On the back of the vehicle, Jin groaned and moved with his hands on the ground slowly getting up to see, where he was. Jin noticed Yi lying on the side of the cage and Jin approached the girl grabbing her on the shoulders turning her around to him, then he shook her on the arms trying to wake her up.
"Yi wake up" Jin whispered while shaking the girl, slowly bringing her back to life. "Yes open your eyes," Jin asked seeing the girl slowly opening her eyes and notice Jin in front of her eyes.
"Jin?" Yi started. "W….where are we?"The girl asked the boy, which looked around the cage, then shrugged his shoulders.
"In danger. I've got no doubts about it" Jin mentioned looking across the van to spot Zara sitting on the co-driver seat, making him frown his eyebrows. "How gentle from your side to lock us in a dog cage," Jin bellowed across the vehicle at the woman.
"Good morning you two….or should I say….good evening," Zara said looking back at the cage to see Jin with his hands on the grid beside Yi, which had also placed her hands on it, then she looked around her to realize she was all alone with Jin in the cage.
"Where are Peng and Dave?" Yi asked and Jin looked around the cage, then looked back at Yi with wide eyes realizing now their absence.
"Were they caught?" Jin asked hearing Zara chuckling and making her way up to the cage.
"They're in another van don't worry. As long as you two follow our instructions, they will be left alive"
"Left alive!?" Jin barked angrily at the comment. "Don't you dare to harm them in any way, they have done nothing!" Jin hissed watching Zara taking from her jacket her smartphone out, then tapped on it to stabilize a call, then she turned the screen horizontally to herself and she had on her video call another guy sitting on the co-driver seat.
"What's up?"
"Hey Kim, I want you to show me the two prisoners," Zara asked earning a nod from the man with soul patch chin facial hairstyle and he turned his smartphone to the cage to show Peng and Dave standing in front of the lattice gazing sadly at the staff.
"Peng!" Jin shouted in chorus along with Yi at seeing the two in the same stage of danger as them.
"Kim give them a little foretaste of our medicine" Zara demanded and turned her smartphone around to show the video to Jin and Yi.
The man walked at a middle-sized box, where two controllers stood on it. Both of them had a post-it note on it, one has a stick man figure and the second one had a child stick figure. Kim picked up the controller with the stick man figure and pointed at Dave, which swallowed hard and the man pressed the green button causing Dave to bob around as he got am electronic shocked.
"Oh oh," Yi and Jin mumbled seeing the adult get shocked by something.
"You're insane!" Jin hissed making Zara laugh and turn the smartphone off.
"I would keep your mouth shut, cause they're not the only ones to wear a shock collar" The woman warned, then backed off as Jin had shoved his arm between the grids trying to take the smartphone off her hand.
"Give me that smartphone!" Jin hissed moving his hand back and forth, then Zara walked back to the driver cabin and picked up a similar controller to the one, that was used by the crew members and she held it up and pressed on the green button, causing Yi to scream as her collar had caused her a electroshock.
"Yi!" Jin shouted terrified from seeing the girl totter around.
"Oh, wrong controller" Zara mentioned, then removed the cap from the batteries and placed it back on the dashboard in front of her and picked the other controller.
"You're okay?" Jin asked earning a nod from the girl. Jin pulled down Yi's sock to spot the electronic device and he gazed at her startled about the device. Zara pressed on the second controller on the green button causing Jin to yell out loudly in pain. "Argh!"
"Leave him in peace!" Yi shouted watching Zara take her finger off the button to stop the electroshock on Jin.
"Which idiot made these things?" Jin asked pulling on the right side of his trouser the bit up to spot a shock collar around his leg.
"This is used to shock dogs when they misbehave their owner. Except I'm using it on you two instead,"
"You're using something for animals on a human?" Yi asked.
"That's nasty!" Jin complained watching Zara press again on the green button to shock Jin again, which cried again.
"Please stop that!" Yi shouted and Jin leaned his head against the grid breathing hard. Zara looked at her controller, then over the button was a small wheel, which was set on number 3 and it was able to be set between 1 and 6, the latter one, being the strongest shock it was able to perform.
"Oh it shouldn't be on this number" Zara mentioned pulling it back to one, then she pressed on the button, causing Jin to jump by the small pinch he got from the collar.
"You don't say?" Jin added annoyed with the woman, then she approached the cage and showed the teens the controller of the electric collar.
"Listen you two, I will need one of you to go out there at the mountain and lure the yeti as close as possible. Otherwise, I will have to blow up your foot, if any of you decide to play out smart and try to escape," Zara warned the duo in front of her, which looked at each other frightened about the treatment of the villain.
"Zara, I think we're close enough to the valley," The driver told the raven-haired woman.
"Alright" Zara said opening a coffer to take out a large, black winter coat along with a white one and she put on the white coat on her and walked at the door, then took out from the pocket from her pants the key to the cage and opened it up for the two. "And Jin, if I were you I would leave your hands back, cause I've got your controller and one wrong movement…." Zara mentioned shaking the controller in her hand, making Jin frown.
"Listen to her Jin. It's safer" Yi mentioned, watching Zara grab the girl on her hand and pulling her out of the cage shrieking Jin at seeing how coldly she treats his romantic interest.
"Doctor Zara, don't take her!" Jin ordered making the woman chuckle.
"Why not?" Zara asked looking at Jin.
"Because I should be the one on her place luring the yetis at us. I'm the one, who ran away and told my friends about your evil plans. If it wasn't for me, your team would have caged Everest long time ago and we would have gone back to our old life without interfering with you anymore"
"Jin, what are you talking about?" Yi asked. "Nothing, that happened was your fault,"
"She's right, it isn't your fault" Zara mentioned. "You're not the one, who ran away with the yeti"
"I just wanted to bring her and my cousin back, safe and sound. The same I want to do it too," Jin said approaching the adult, which held Yi on her arm. "Send me into the snow instead" Jin added, then Zara shrugged her shoulders and took her hand off Yi, then hit the boy on his back with the controller, telling him to step in front. As Zara came along with him Yi took the opportunity and jumped at Zara's back trying to pull her down.
"Yi no!" Jin shouted as his crush had attacked the woman and the driver caught the controller, that belonged to Yi's shock collar and used it, causing Yi to cry.
"Ouch!" Yi cried making Jin wide his eyes in shock and the man stopped, then Jin grabbed her, helping her sat up on the ground. "Sorry"
"You shouldn't have done that" Jin scolded the girl, then Zara clawed on Jin's shoulder pulling him up.
"Come on, the quicker we have this job done, you can come back to your girlfriend," Zara said putting the jacket on Jin, afterward he pulled up the zipper far up to his neck and gazed down at Yi, which walked back into the cage and watched Zara close the cage again. "Here's the key again," Zara said throwing the key at the hands of the man, which nodded at the woman.
"Are you sure I should stay here?" The man asked. "It's not like the girl knows how to escape from that cage with us out there"
"I might call you later among the others. First, we need to certify, if there's any yeti around here" Zara mentioned earning a nod from the man. Zara opened the side door of the vehicle and jumped out of the car and before Jin left he gazed back at Yi, which saw the boy with a sad face, then Jin walked towards the cage placing his hands on the grid again.
"Sorry for being such an egoist, but I can't see you go out there to do something you totally don't want to do it,"
"I hope the yetis will realize they're in danger and they disappear,"
"If Everest is present, I believe he will know, what to do," Jin said. "He saved us that last time and he will do the same to me"
"What if he isn't there? Or what if he fails?" Yi asked watching Jin put his arm between the grids to grab Yi's hand.
"They're supernatural…..well you know, they've got these powers….eh never mind. I'll be back in safety and these guys will learn to not mess with mother nature like this ever again. I promise" Jin said making Yi chuckle softly, making Jin smile and lean his face down at the grid pointing his lips to kiss the girl, but he got electroshocked before he even could perform it. "Are you crazy?!" Jin cursed angrily looking at Zara, which stood on the outside of the vehicle.
"I've told you, if any of you disobeys this happens" Zara boasted waiting for Jin to leave the vehicle, afterward she closed the door leaving Yi back with the former leader of the Burnish industries.
"Your friend there is dauntless," The man said making Yi roll her eyes.
"He's not the only one" Yi mentioned.
"You're also courageous. I don't see many girls around your age to be that brave" The man said. "I mean in my surroundings most of the girls are more reserved and wouldn't try to fight unless they weren't alone or in real danger"
"I've got used to deal with various dangerous situations when I was younger. Alone or together with Jin, I used to be the one to align on everything no matter how much danger or trouble it would cause us. Jin mostly was there to protect me and help me out of the trouble I caused," Yi told the man, that sat on the driver seat. "By the time we got older and the dead of my father, I hung out less with anyone and I became a little antisocial,"
"You also lost your father?" The man asked interested, seeing Yi roll her eyes up at the man.
"Yeah" Yi spoke quiet. "Did you too?" The raven-haired girl questioned earning a nod from the man.
"I was around 13 or 14 when my father passed away. He was driving home on a very rainy day and he didn't see well with the headlights of the car. He realized too late, that right in front of him was a roundabout and he flew above it, crashing into a building,"
"Oh no"
"I also matured earlier than other of my classmates, because I had more responsibilities at home and had to work part-time to help my mother,"
"Your family had financial problems then around your childhood?" Yi asked earning a nod from the adult. "When did you end up working for Mr. Burnish and Dr. Zara?"
"As I worked as a security at the mall I witnessed a thief trying to rob Mr. Burnish and I stopped the man and gave Burnish his money back and he offered me a job at his Industry, which I accepted" The man explained. "I worked on the late evening most of the times, when Zara was there too, which led the other laborants there in the laboratory,"
"When did you start to work for her…..you know because of the yetis?"
"It was on the week we managed to capture the yeti. Zara had told me about the profit we would make out at the exhibition when introducing the world the yeti. The press would be there, several journalists and some vets and zoologists around the world. Millionaires and Billionaires, everyone was interested to see the animal. This was going to be one of the highest gross in the industries and Zara was so fixed to do anything to obtain for the industries that and that since the first two successes with the whopping snakes and the screaming pelican,"
"And why did you join?" Yi asked seeing the man shrug his arms a little sad.
"Well I lived in the fear, that my mother couldn't handle to deal with her life while I would live with my wife and kids away and so I took every opportunity Zara offered me to assist her, so I could save up enough money for both of my families," The man told the teenager. "After the yeti had escaped from the laboratory Zara had become more determined with getting it back, she seemed to have got colder than she had already been. I was…...a little surprised at how she talked about, she would get rid of you kids when we would get the yeti back, but I felt like this wasn't going to happen, because what would be the point of killing them anyway? We could simply drop you off somewhere and let you go your own way since if it is hard for Burnish to prove the existence of yetis, it would be twice as hard as it was for him to prove the same"
"And after your and Zara's fall from the mountain, you still stuck with her in all these schemes to prove all this, you were trying before?" Yi asked seeing the man shake his head.
"We split up and never saw us each other again. I got my old job back and tried to make the best out of it as long as it worked. Zara then just showed up in front of my house as I came back from work and told me about Dave and the boy being on the way to the Himalayas with the ashes of Mr. Burnish and had the idea to pursue them, so she could get close to the yeti again and catch him with the help of the others. I didn't want to join her, I just did, cause…..I don't know, she said it would just be us all catching the yeti and nothing more,"
"And she's doing more, than what she said" Yi added making the man nod. "You received after your fall last year a second chance to live. You should use this chance to avoid making the same mistakes you did before. I did that as I managed to survive the fall from that bridge down at the Mount Everest"
"Now it's too late," The man said. "We're already out here"
"I know, but we can still change a few things to stop this, right?" The girl questioned the man, who thought about it and nodded.
"You're right" The man answered getting up and walking towards the cage to unlock the door for her. The man pulled the sock down, where the shock collar was and opened up the buckle up of the collar, taking it off from her leg. "There you go, free like a bird"
"Thanks," Yi said watching the man look from the driver cabin out at the road, then looked back at Yi.
"Okay, I've got an idea. I'll be guiding out the other members and after I disappear with the others, you go back to the other van and free your friends" The man said taking from the open chest two white jackets out, handing the smaller one to Yi, so that both could put one on.
"What will be about Jin?" Yi asked the tall man.
"I will make sure none of the team harms him" The man promised making Yi smile, then he opened the door and signaled the girl to stay back and walked behind the van.
On the snow-covered valley, Jin walked alone on the snow looking over the place for any hints of any yetis.
"I don't think they will show up," Jin thought continuing to investigate the white ground around him. "The only thing I'm going to encounter here is my death...real soon" Jin complained moving forwards.
Jin looked behind him while walking to see if he could see Zara and the others from the team, but he couldn't spot them anywhere.
"They're either too far away or they're wearing enough white to almost turning invisible," Jin told himself. "Or you're supposed to be silent in the valley of silence since that's the name of it"
Jin soon was getting closer to large mountain peaks in front of him, therefore Jin looked up at the height of the mountains and whistled.
"Gosh, how am I supposed to climb them up?" Jin asked himself, then he felt a minor shock, making him jump. "Okay, okay, I'll do it" Jin argued with a frown looking back, still wondering where Zara and her team were in the snow. Jin looked up at the rocks of the mountain in front of him, then studied how he should climb the rocks up without materials and he looked back to look out for the team. "I think I need more than my bare hands to climb this up," Jin said a little loud waiting for someone to appear, but no one did. Jin rolled his eyes and shove his hands back into the pocket of his jacket waiting for any clue from the redheaded woman. Jin heard someone giggle, which called his attention and he looked around himself wondering, from where it came.
"Hello?" Jin called. "Is anyone here?" Jin asked observing the surroundings spotting no one around him. Jin raised his right eyebrow bewildered, then he widened his eyes as he felt something grab him on the foot and he glanced down seeing a white, fluffy fuzzball in front of his feet. Jin widened his eyes and looked down again in shock to recognize, there was a small creature playing with the ties of the shoe.
"Hey," Jin said looking down at the fluffy creature, then it looked up at him with bright light-blue eyes tilting its head bewildered at seeing Jin. Jin smiled at the sight of the creature and went down on his knees. "Wow, what a cute little guy you are" Jin complimented seeing the lean its head on Jin's leg rubbing it up and down, then looked up at Jin shaking his back like a canine. "You look like a mini-version of Everest. Do you know him?" Jin asked placing his hand on the cub's head, then the animal grabbed Jin's hand, making him feel a little unsure and the cub moved his thumb up and down, then smiled at Jin, making Jin look confused wondering what the cub was signaling him. Jin placed his thumb down, then the yeti cub placed his thumb over Jin, starting to chuckle excited. Jin smiled as he understood, the yeti cub wanted Jin to play with him.
"Hey I didn't know you guys knew how to play thumb war" Jin mentioned, then he realized, that the cub might be related with Everest. "You're might be Everest's child, right?" Jin asked watching the cub grab his hand again, wanting Jin to play. "Hey little guy, can you tell me who your daddy is?" Jin asked grabbing the hand of the cub, gazing into the eyes of the cub. "You know very tall and…...a male?" Jin tried to explain, then the cub pulled down Jin's hand to the snow, making Jin furrow his eyebrows wondering, what the boy was doing. "No, I don't want to arm wrestle. I want to know, who your father is" Jin explained watching the cub stuck his tongue out making a cute noise. Jin sighed at not being able to explain the animal, what he wanted and heard another noise, then he noticed a pair of yeti cubs appearing to meet the cub, that was with Jin.
"Oh boy," Jin said looking at the two new cubs, that came along and the third one looked at Jin with an angry face, afterward, he started to growl at Jin. "Easy there, I'm not going to hurt any of your friends," Jin said, then he widened his eyes remembering, why he was sent out there. "Quick, get out of there" Jin began trying to hush the cubs away from him, making two of them look surprised at Jin while the third one bit Jin on his hand making him scream.
"Ouch!"
The yeti cub kept growling at Jin, which held his hand to his body and looked back to see, where the team was and spotted far away the head of one of the members, which held with him a black tranquilizer shotgun on his arms.
"Please you three have to leave, you're in danger" Jin explained the kids, then watched the small cub roar at Jin. "I'm serious, you're in danger" Jin mentioned, then the yeti cub smiled as he looked behind Jin and the teenage boy felt something behind him and he looked back to see a yeti, who was almost two head taller, than him. Jin wide his eyes in panic as he encountered a yeti, then in stepped back staring at the serious looking yeti and Jin stopped to observe the yeti stare down at the boy, then the yeti furrowed his eyebrows, tilting its head slowly looking at Jin.
"Everest?" Jin spoke raising his eyebrows up, then the yeti smiled as the boy had recognized him and the yeti grabbed Jin pulling him into a hug shrieking Jin. "Whoa easy there big boy" Jin mentioned as the animal excitedly greeted his friend. Everest dropped Jin down and mumbled at the yeti cubs, which exchanged looks with each other and nodded. "Everest you have to bring the cubs and yourself in safety. Zara and her minions are using me to lock you out of here" Jin mentioned making Everest tilt his head.
"Huh?"
"Yi and Peng are in danger and they threatened to hurt them if no one of us would go out here to trick you. I need help" Jin explained making Everest look at him shocked. Jin placed his hands on his leg to show Everest the shock collar he had attached to him. One of the cubs approached the collar sniffing on it, then a red light blinked and it gave Jin an electric shock, making him yell, shrieking Everest and the cubs. Jin fell on the snow, then tried to get up looking up at the yetis.
"As long as they have the controller, they…..can do this…...when I don't obey them" Jin explained, then the pre-teen aged yeti nodded and pulled the yeti cubs close to Jin, signaling them to stay. "Don't worry, your father is going to handle them," Jin said making Everest wide his eyes and look back at him groaning insulted at Jin's comment. "You're not a dad yet, right?" Jin asked and Everest looked at the other side of the valley seeing a few men show up all dressed in white jackets while wielding a dart gun with them aiming at the young yeti. Everest growled and ran against the group, which prepared themselves for their shot, waiting for the yeti to get closer to them. Two cubs hid behind Jin watching in fright Everest on the other side, where the team stood aiming at the white creature, that before they could shot at him Everest roared loudly at them, shrieking them from the wind Everest's breath did towards them.
Zara was behind the group holding her arm in front of her face as the snow creature blew them almost down, then she grabbed one of the team members by the jacket, pushing him forwards to go towards the yeti.
"Move it!" She shouted. "We are the majority" Zara pointed out holding the dart gun at the yeti, which slapped with his paw against the snow throwing it against the group, followed by another roar to shriek the group more. "Just take the shot!" Zara ordered the group, then a few shot at the yeti, which soon as they had released the darts had take a jump up in the air and he landed back on the ground. Everest growled having the group insight, then he roared again, this time an amount of snow had magically being thrown towards the group thanks to Everest's natural gift.
"What was that?" A team member asked from the way the snow had been thrown at the group.
"He didn't use his paws"
"Come on, keep trying it!" Zara ordered passing the snow, that covered her aside so that at least her arms were out of it and she pointed out at Everest, then Everest gave the group another taste of the snow covering their arms again. Everest quickly ran back to Jin and the cubs to make sure they were okay, then looked down at Jin's leg, where he had the shock collar on. Everest rolled his eyes back and forth of the collar, then Jin looked at Everest and noticed behind on the snow Zara uncovering herself quick from the snow, then she stuck her hand inside her jacket to take out a black-colored handgun, making Jin wide his eyes.
"Everest watch out for her, she's got a shotgun and that could hurt you really bad" Jin warned the yeti, which looked at Zara getting out from the snow pointing the gun at the animal. Everest held his arms in front of the litter behind him, growling at Zara waiting for her to take the shot.
"A bullet comes out really fast, Everest," Jin mentioned, then Everest shoos Jin away with his hind leg, soon as Zara pulled the trigger Everest hummed pulling out a piece of stone out of the mountain, throwing it against the flying bullet and it ricochets the bullet on it, making Zara furrow her eyebrows annoyed as she had failed and she tried it again, followed by another time watching her bullet getting blocked by another piece of stone.
"This is not happening right now!" Zara cursed pulling the trigger for a third time, followed by a fourth and fifth time, watching Everest block them all with minor pieces of rock, he pulled out of the mountain with his magic. The team managed to get out of the snow and gazed a little frightened with the creature and Zara noticed the team still, then got angry with them.
"What are you all looking at?" Zara asked the team. "Shot at the yeti!"
The team watched Everest growling at the team, then a few backed away from the zone dropping their guns down on the ground.
"Where are you all going?" The redhead asked. "Take the shot!" Exclaimed the woman and a few held up their guns again, aiming Everest which glared at the group again waiting for the first man to shot. Behind him, Jin was trying to open the collar around his leg and from far Zara had noticed him fiddling on his leg. Afterward, Zara took out from the pocket of her jacket the controller of Jin's shock collar and moved the arrow to number 6, which had a small, yellow triangle warning her from the danger of that level. Zara looked at the boy holding the controller in front her ready to press the green button, but suddenly someone jumped at her back, wrapping the arms around her neck causing her to fall down while dropping the controller.
"Hey!" Zara shouted, then noticed it was Yi, who had brought the redhead down at the ground. "How did you get out of the cage?" Zara asked watching Yi get up to grab the controller to quickly remove the batteries and throw them far away from the group.
"You little rat!" Zara complained, then Yi threw the controller back at the woman's hands running down to Everest and Jin.
Everest saw Yi running towards him to give him a hug, making him purr as he encountered his old friend.
"I'm glad to see you," Yi said, then Everest growled as a few members tried to dart him down, but he hummed to build up a snow shield to catch up the few darts, that were coming towards them.
"What are you doing here?" Jin asked watching Yi bend down to help him remove the collar off his leg.
"I wanted to make sure you two were okay" Yi mentioned getting up from the ground while helping the boy up then noticed on Jin's arms marks of teeth on his arms. "Uh did Everest bite you?" Yi asked watching shake his head.
"Uh a yeti cub" Jin answered and the two raven-haired teens watched now a bigger part of the group running away, then Zara took her gun up in the air to give out a warning shot to scare the team and look back at here.
"We ain't leaving until we got the yeti. Is that clear?!" Zara announced making Yi wide her eyes in shock on Zara's determination to catch Everest.
"She's insane," Jin told Yi, which frowned her eyebrows serious and she ran towards the redhead, shrieking Everest and Jin at watching the girl going to the villain. "Yi, no!" Jin shouted running behind her, then Zara had turned around to see Yi approach her and she pointed her gun at the teenage girl while pulling the trigger to shot Yi down, but as Zara had released the bullet Jin ran beside Yi jumping at the friend getting hit by the bullet on his shoulder.
"Jin!" Yi cried as she saw her friend being hit and landing on top of her. Yi turned the boy around seeing him warp his face from the pain.
"Jin, you're okay?" Yi asked placing her hand on his shoulder, where she saw a whole on the jacket and a little blood on the skin, which was covered by the jacket.
"Rip off a bit of my….shirt and f….asten it around my ….arm" Jin spoke in mid-groans at Yi, which tried to pull the sleeve from Jin's jacket carefully, then from behind Yi Zara held the gun behind her head shrieking him, however after pulling the trigger the gun did nothing and Zara groaned irritated as she had used her last ammo before on Jin and instead she now hit hard with the gun on Yi's head, causing her to fall down on Jin setting him in panic.
"Yi!" Jin's voiced echoes around the valley shrieking Everest including the rest of the team. Zara stepped back with a fleeting smile, then she picked up her tranquilizer gun and aimed at the yeti, which was looking down at Jin who moved Yi's head watching the girl slowly opening her eyes. "Yes open them up" Jin as the girl had opened them up, followed by Jin leaning his forehead on Yi's. "Are you alright?" Jin asked, then heard Zara scold her team.
"That's our last chance, take that yeti down!" Zara shouted with half of the team, were unsure, if they should follow her instructions, then four of the team pointed at Everest, which looked now back at the team showing his teeth to the team to intimidate them. "Point at different parts of his body" Zara mentioned, then noticed Everest looking up at the mountain followed by a few of the minions, which looked terrified as they saw behind the mountain a giant, white creature appear gazing down at the humans, then it jumped down on the ground landing in front of Everest releasing a loud growl up in the air to scare them.
"Th….that'.ssss…..the….f…..f….father" One of the stammered in panic from the size of the adult yeti in front of them.
"Run!" Another teammate yelled starting to ran away along with the rest of the team, except for Zara, which aimed the adult yeti with her gun and the adult yeti roared loudly blowing Zara away causing her to land on two of women of the group. Zara looked back at the yeti, which roared again setting the woman in panic and make her way out of there with the rest of the team.
Everest looked up at the tall yeti and pointed at Yi, afterward at Zara, which was running away with the others and the adult yeti followed the team leaving Everest back with the raven-haired teens.
"Where is he going?" Jin asked the yeti friend, which shrugged his arms.
"He's not going to kill her isn't he?" Yi asked watching Everest shake his head giving out a short mumble. "Great"
"What did he say?" Jin asked.
"I think something like he wouldn't ever do that" Yi, answered, then she looked back at Jin's arm again and whistled at Everest, which turned around at her smiling at her excited. "Can you heal Jin's arm?" Yi asked earning a nod from the yeti child, which closed his eyes and started to hum a melody and the two teens watched the bullet get removed by Everest's magic, followed by his injury slowly healing until his red mark had disappeared completely leaving his arm just like it was before.
"W…..wow" Jin quoted as he saw his arm had got healed by the mountain creature. "Thank you, Everest," Told Jin the furry friend, which smiled courteously at the boy.
"Everest!" A voice shouted and the trio looked at the valley to see Peng run over the snow towards them. Everest looked at Jin and Yi, then Jin gave Everest a thumb up and saw Everest head to the child to welcome him in his arms.
"Great to see you're okay little cuz" Jin mentioned approaching Everest along with Yi, then placed his hand on the yeti's arm.
"Was that Everest's dad?" Peng asked. "I saw him running behind all the people of Zara"
"He's just scaring them all away from here" Yi mentioned. "Hopefully, that will be the last time they'll put their feet on here"
"Where is Dave?" Jin asked looking at Peng.
"He said we would come later after they catch Zara" Peng answered.
Meanwhile, the last transporter of the line had left the road, while Zara entered into the vehicle, that was in front of the transporter and Zara pressed on the start button of the engine, then noticed that the car couldn't turn on due to the missing key.
"Where's the key?" Zara asked, then someone knocked on the window of the car and it was Dave, which held on his hand the keys. "Dave!" Zara hissed, then from the side appeared the partner, which friendly slapped Dave on the back. Zara moved to the co-driver seat and Dave locked the van with the keys, which avoided Zara to get out of the car. Zara angrily tried to open the door making the two men chuckle. The two men walked away leaving Zara back, which opened under the dashboard of the car the glove compartment, then she encountered the second key of the vehicle and tried to turn the engine on, which she managed after a few times pressing on it. Zara grinned in success, then drove the vehicle back, then she shrieked as she crashed against something afterward she looked at the side mirrors to see the adult yeti hit on the cage trailer that was attached to Zara's vehicle and she switched her gear back to drive and drove forward trying to turn the vehicle on the small road, the felt the wheel of the car drop on the side of the road and the redhead moved the shift gear back to reverse and tried to drive back, but the wheels of the car were spinning on the ground unable to roll on the road. Zara flinched her teeth as she couldn't manage to drive the car back, then she shrieked as the yeti had leaned his back on the corner of the cage to scratch it, followed by a groan of enjoyment. Zara noticed the car slowly dropping the head off the road and the woman jumped back at the cabin of the vehicle running at the side of the vehicle to open the door, but the door kept sliding down due to the position of the car. Zara tried it again, then she felt on the floor of the vehicle and she crawled on the floor up at the cage and heard the trailer out on the road fall down, because of the yeti.
The yeti had caused the trailer to fall down, then passed his paw behind his back annoyed with having injured himself on the back, then he pushed the trailer away with his leg out of the road, which made the van lose its equilibrium on the road and as Zara managed to open the door she screeched as the car was about to fall off the road and as the vehicle felt down Zara, also ended up losing her balance tumbling down into the vehicle and the only thing the yeti could see was the vehicle smash a couple of times on the rocky mountain, watching it disappear in the darkness.
"Oh…." The yeti marveled at witnessing the falling vehicle, then looked up at Dave and his previous boss looking down at the darkness, then they looked up at the giant yeti.
"We come in peace," Dave said holding his hands up.
"We're friends" The man explained the yeti, which nodded and grabbed the two and held his hand flat, so they could stand on it.
"That's one nice view" Dave complimented looking at the yeti, while the other man was hugging the yeti's thumb frightened about the height. The yeti chuckled and walked back to the valley.
