VOLUME 1. JULY 2025

LUCKY SHOOK HIS HEAD. “I WAS HOPING WE’D HAVE MORE TIME TO

TRAIN BEFORE YOU HAD TO FACE HIM, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE’RE

JUMPING RIGHT INTO IT. DR. GLOOM IS A POWERFUL VILLAIN WHO
FEEDS OFF SADNESS AND FEAR. HE’S BEEN QUIET FOR A WHILE, BUT IF

THOSE CLOUDS ARE ANY SIGN, HE’S BACK, AND HE’S READY TO MAKE

THINGS VERY, VERY GLOOMY.” AIDEN GULPED. “AND YOU’RE SAYING I
HAVE TO STOP HIM?” LUCKY LOOKED UP AT AIDEN, HIS TAIL NO

LONGER WAGGING. “YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN. BUT DON’T

WORRY, I’LL BE WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. WE JUST NEED TO
STAY CALM AND FIGURE OUT WHERE HE’S STRIKING FIRST.” AS IF IN

RESPONSE TO LUCKY’S WORDS, A LOUD BOOM ECHOED FROM THE
DIRECTION OF THE CITY. AIDEN AND LUCKY EXCHANGED A QUICK

GLANCE BEFORE SPRINTING TOWARDS THE PARK EXIT.
