From the whole incident happened in the compartment in which the girl and Ken was fighting is now pointing towards the defeat of Ken.

  Ken was trapped in the thick and dense tree trunk grown from the hand of that girl. The brain like thing on backside of her neck is now grown a bud. This bud start growing to her shoulder and as it completely grows and reach her left shoulder, it detach from the parent body and settle on the left shoulder. The bud is ready to make Ken as its host. The girl grows her left hand into multiple tendrils of plants and grabs Ken’s neck. The brain like thing’s bud is now crawling on the tendrils towards Ken’s neck. Ken trying to free down but suddenly he hears a voice inside his head.

  The voice asks, “So you are in this problem where you can’t escape or dodge, how bad. Want help?”

  Ken shouts in his mind, “Of course I need help urgently. This thing seems like some sort of parasite.”

  The voice says, “Stay there and I will help you with some suitable things. Let it reach your neck.”

  The brain like thing crawls on the tendrils like vines and reach the Ken’s neck. Ken tries to resist but the brain like thing came on the backside of the neck. The brain like thing changes its shape and creates a centipede like month and penetrates the flash and bones on Ken’s neck. The brain like thing combines to the spinal cord of Ken and tries to control Ken’s brain. The brain like thing tries to control ken’s body. Ken gets unconscious and the girl was smiling.

  Now Ken feels as he is sinking in water deeper and deeper. He feels as if something is grabbing his arms and legs. His consciousness was captured by the thing. The time he was about to be completely come under his control, the voice echoes, “Alright, it is done. Now you didn’t need to fear.”

  The parasite which was trying to control the consciousness of Ken is now losing his control over Ken. The brain like thing detach from Ken’s neck and fall. It got instantly rot down. The girl gets shock and the next point, Ken breaks the bark. The girl jumps away and unleashes her tree roots like tentacles.

  She thinks, “If he is able to survive my brain parasite then he could be a stronger HEPE. Who exactly is he?”

  The girl comes in defensive stance and tries to avoid his attacks. She spread her buds and from them, the plants also grow. The girl now knows that this guy is not an ordinary HEPE. She attacks with her tentacles, her tentacles spread and moves against Ken’s movement but Ken sharpened his arm blades so much that he cut through the defenses of the girl.

  The tentacles surges a combine attack and Ken cut through most of them. But one of them hits Ken and pressed to the wall. Ken somehow survived the attack and prepares himself but as he got weaker and made an opening, the girl surges multiple attacks with those attacks. The plants emerge from the walls of compartment and grab Ken’s arms and legs. The root like tentacles beat up Ken badly and he start bleeding but he uses all his strength at once. The girl grabs Ken’s chin and says, “You can’t break it.”

  Ken’s arms and limbs get tightly grabbed and as he was about to breakthrough, the girl touches his right arm’s arm blade and makes an eye contact. Her smile frightened Ken. She grabs his arm blade and breaks it. Ken shouts in pain but she doesn’t stops there. She breaks his left arm’s arm blade and Ken again shouts in pain but this time his pain was less. The girl just steps backward and controls her plants. The plants start stretching Ken’s limbs and Ken start feeling pain which was too much for him but he doesn’t want to defeat. The next moment,

  he hears the voice inside his head, “I know that it is too much for you but try to take it and make it into a vengeance…”

  Ken shouts, “Shut up! Can’t you see I’m in pain and about to lose my limbs? Do something.”

  The voice calmly says, “Umm…You didn’t need to shout so loudly. She most probably hears it.”

  The girl looks at Ken and her plants stops stretching his limbs. She asks, “Whom are you connected with? It feels that you aren’t any normal HEPE, rather you would have some sort of telepathic connection or you are mad. You don’t look mad and also you seem to hide something. Who is behind you and what are you?”

  Ken just calm down and the voice whispers in his mind, “Now the only thing you should do is to escape or kill it.”

  Ken says, “I can’t kill her. Even if she is dangerous but it isn’t good at all.”

  The voice answers, “She isn’t human anymore. She is now a HEPE or so called mutant or evolved human. Also I’m not calling to kill her but the parasitic brain like thing on the backside of her neck.”

  Ken understands but before he could do anything, the girl grabs his right shoulder and dislocates Ken’s right shoulder. Ken was in pain. He shouts in pain badly but she doesn’t stops there. She grabs his arm and asks, “Tell me everything or I will…” Ken doesn’t even look at her and says, “You are using the body of this girl badly.” The girl who was controlled by the parasitic brain like thing just stares with anger on her face. She grabs the dislocated shoulder so tightly that she breaks his Shoulder joint and she uses her tentacles and tightly grabs Ken’s arm. With no mercy, she breaks his arm and uproots it. Ken was in pain and the uprooted arm was bleeding.

  But suddenly, the part she uprooted starts healing and regenerating. It got completely healed in a second and a new arm blade grown. Ken attacks with that arm blade and the girl tries to dodge it but still the blade makes a cut her lips. She is ready to continue the fight, she uses the tentacles and grabs Ken but ken cuts them and jumps aside. She uses her plants but now she starts feeling exhausted and cough blood as she is about to reach her limits.

  The voice speaks in Ken’s mind, “Every creature in the world has some limits and she has reached them but you should be happy that you didn’t even use your powers fully so you aren’t going to defeat. Well done kid.”

  Now Ken got the upper hand in the fight as she reaches her limits. Ken heals his left arm and grows his arm blade from his palms. He attacks the girl and she couldn’t use her root tentacles anymore and with a single attack, she fall on ground. She takes support from wall and sit on ground.

  Ken asks to the voice, “How should I kill that parasite? Should I cut it down?”

  The voice speaks in his head, “No don’t do that instead try detaching the parasite by using your power. If you cut it then it will damage her spinal cord and creating a permanent damage in her neural system.”

  But suddenly the girl smiles and looks at ken’s face. The countless buds start growing from her body, covering her whole body into buds. She is about to use her final option that is even capable to destroy the whole compartment.
