In the meantime, the Crystal Cross Gang members ran through the forest, following the students' trails, but also keeping an eye on their tracker.
"Hey, how far is he from us?" Death asked, looking at Zachary.
"About a kilometer ahead," he said, checking the tracking device's screen.
"And what about the other students?" Slice asked with a glint in his eyes. "Are they still with him?"
"The tracker shows they're all together," Zachary nodded.
Slice and Laser exchanged grins.
Passing through the area where Erik and the others had fought, they were impressed that such young people, with no military training, possessed such remarkable strength.
"Pretty impressive for a bunch of kids..." Death said.
"Hell yeah, man! This makes me want to cut them even more!" Slice said.
"I know how you feel, old sport, but unfortunately, the boss here doesn't want us to have fun," Laser said.
