Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Since you won't move, then die," she yelled as spikes formed in the air beside her, only this time they weren't red, but were mixed with the same glow as her body.

"You're insane," Vellon said as he prepared to move, but Alix moved so quickly that before Vellon could sense his presence, he had already appeared beside him, and Alix's hands glowed black, forming a flame which he used and punched him into the bridge, whose side broke, but before Vellon could fall into the water, he regained his balance and stood on the water with a burning sensation on his stomach from Alix's punch.

"Now you're quite the handful," Vellon said as he removed his shirt and threw it into the water, and the flames vanished. Alix's hand returned to normal, and Vellon noticed how red his stomach had become as a result of the boy's power.

"I will kill you, but first I must deal with her," he said as he looked up at Adora. As the other guys in cloaks were about to move on Adora, the others surrounded them with their bodies glowing, and they were unsure what to do because their order was to retrieve the crystal.

"Don't get involved, you're outnumbered," Vellon said then they sighed and lowered their heads.

"You guys are going to regret this," Janil muttered with a smirk, and Alix looked at him when the glow from Adora's body became brighter and she released the spike, which pierced right through the guy who was holding the crystal with his glowing body, and as his body fell into the water, then crystal cracked, and before Vellon could move, he saw a green glow beneath his feet, making him immobile, and Alix smirked when a green and blue whip formed around the crystal and Adora directed her energy straight to the crystal causing it to explode and Adora's body went back to normal.

The energy released by the crystal was so powerful that it shook the ground, causing the building to shake and the water to become rough, and the others to clutch each other while looking up at the sky, before everything went back to normal and the shimmering remains of the crystal disappeared without a trace.

"She really did it," Vellon said before disappearing with the guys in the cloaks and the others jumped, then looked at each other in confusion as Adora began to lose consciousness and fell from the sky, but before she could fall in the water, Alix walked onto the water with perfect balance and caught the girl in his arms, and she looked at him with a hopeless look in her eyes.

"T- Thank you, Alix," she mumbled as he led her back onto the bridge and the other approached. She sighed, then she got out of Alix's arm, and he held onto her arm to keep her from falling.

"They planned this," she mumbled as she fell unconscious, and the others sighed as Alix lifted her back up in his arms.

"Let's go back to the castle, guys," Alix sighed, and the others agreed and were about to leave when Alix turned back to look at the building, and the dragon flew to them with the key, which Alix took, and the building vanished as they stared.

"Well I was not expecting that, but one thing I can say is magic really does work in mysterious ways at times," Eliza said, and they smiled, then Alix and the others walked back to the car, with him still holding her in his arms for nearly an hour.

When they returned to the cars, the driver of Adora's car came out and opened the door, then Alix gently placed her on the seat and got into the car with her, while the others went into the remaining cars and they drove off to the castle.

'I wonder what Vellon said to her, it actually upset her a bit, how did she handle whatever it was so quickly? Did she really handle it?' Alix wondered while looking at her, then exhaled deeply and looked out the window.

After a while of driving, they arrived back at the castle and the sun had already begun setting.

"Is she awake?" Nina asked as they got out of the cars and Alix came out of theirs with Adora in his arms.

"Not yet, perhaps she is just too tired or used up too much energy," Alix said as they entered the castle and as he was about to take her to his room, the king and Vince approached them because they had heard they had returned and the king wanted to check on them.

"Adora," Vince muttered as he clutched her arm.

"Is she all right?" the king inquired, and Alix smiled slightly.

"She'll be fine, it's already night; I'll take her to her room," Alix replied.

"Alright, do that and then you guys can come to dinner," he said.

"Got it," Alix replied, taking Adora up to her room and gently placing her on her bed before returning to the dining hall where the others were waiting.

"Can you guys tell me what happened?" the king asked as they took their food.

"Sure, you have a right to know as well," Alix replied, sipping a glass of juice, and Kyris began telling the king what had happened.

The king became even more concerned after hearing what they said, and he was even more troubled when he discovered that Vellon actually wanted to fight Adora.

"I understand everything you told me, one thing is for sure, I really despise this, so he's a villain?" the king wondered.

"That's what we don't know," Olivia responded, and the king lowered his head, knowing that a lot can happen now even though they didn't get the crystal, they all knew that the enemies were strong and if they were willing to go to such lengths as to hurt innocent people in their way, they are not likely to give up just like that.
