Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Guys, we need to get the crystal to the ship," Adora said, and they looked at each other before Alix smiled and looked at the ship.

"I can help with that," Alix said as he landed and Vellon's body started to glow bright red and Alix looked at him the sighed.

"You really want to fight instead of walk away, don't you?" Alix asked.

"I told her once before, stop speaking like you know me when you don't, stop thinking you can make choices for me, I make my own choices, stop pretending like you know me," Vellon yelled as his body glowed brighter. Vellon rushed to attack Adora, but Alix appeared in front of him and their swords clashed before her eyes as she moved away and they attacked each other.

Vellon, slashed Alix across his right arm and Alix slashed him by the side of his waist.

'I know I'm strong enough to fight him, but how can I when he's holding back?' Alix pondered as he moved away from Vellon and Ayden and the others surrounded the crystal.

"We will protect it, defeat Vellon Alix," Kyris said and Alix looked at Adora.

"Go on, you can do it," Adora said, not looking at Vellon.

'He's holding back, it's like he's fighting his bloody self, and it's getting on my nerves," he replied, and Adora looked at Vellon as he stared at them, looking a little lifeless, and his friend, the one who wanted Adora to help him, appeared beside him, along with the fire user, Aerav's opponent, and the blonde girl.

"If you think you're leaving with the crystal with this guy and us here, you're mistaken; Vellon's is in the mood to kill all of you," his friend said, then looked at Adora, who looked at the crystal.

"Is the crystal worth protecting?" asked the blonde girl.

"Is it worthwhile to work for your boss?" Alix inquired, and they all looked at him.

"You better keep quiet, Alix, you guys got a good deal, and now you're all going to pay," the fire user said, and Aerav chuckled.

"Adora, can we kill them?" Aerav asked.

"If your opponent wants to kill you, there's no reason to hold back; you have to protect your life, which you value," she replied, and Aerav smirked as the fire user was about to attack and Aerav appeared before him and Sarah stood in the way of the blonde girl, and Vellon's friend chuckled while looking at them, not walking away.

"Seems like this is going to be more of a showdown than I expected, you know that I am right in many ways but that doesn't matter right about now, I know I can take you, head on," he said as they looked at him.

'I am not sure I want to right now, this is not going according to anyone's plan, you guys have gotten stronger, you are not afraid to risk your lives, but....' Vellon's friend thought with a smirk, and Alix's eyes narrowed as he glared at them, wanting to kill them all but Vellon was a different situation and he knew something was off.

"Is this your way?" Alix inquired, and Vellon's companion looked at him, his right hand trembling.

"Pull yourself together, Vellon and you need to focus on the mission," the girl said and he looked at her along with Vellon.

"Just give up, hand over the crystal, and no one has to get hurt," said the fire user, and Adora chuckled.

"You're all going to die if you keep going like this, that'll be fun for me to be honest, but I don't buy it," Adora said as her eyes began to glow red and she flew up in the air, and she looked at Vellon as he stared at her with nothing but rage in his eyes and he flew up after her as his mates looked at him then sighed.

"You hate me that much, huh?" she asked.

"Alix, we're all getting on that ship and with that crystal, one way or the other," Adora said and he smirked as they began attacking each other, and Alix took a deep breath before releasing a red beam from the palm of the clawed armor, clearing a path through the forest for them, and Alix left staring at the trees being blown away as did Adora and the others.

"Damn I myself have to say, that was pretty cool and deadly, when did he learn that?" Kyris inquired as a circle of flame appeared around the fire user, and he smirked while looking at Aerav, and black flames began to appear within it, and the fire user gasped as he closed his eyes and remembered when Adora and Alix gave him a second chance, and he gnashed his teeth.

"Don't try, you won't be able to get out of it, it will burn even a fire user and severely, I won't underestimate us anymore, we don't care anymore, we will kill if we have to," Aerav said as Adora saw Vellon was not on guard and she punched Vellon into the ground and stomped on him causing him to cough up blood.

"Vellon," his friend exclaimed, but Vellon was acting strangely because of the crystal, and the green glow appeared beneath him, wrapping around his feet and arms, pinning him down, and he looked at Adora, trying to break free but failed.

"Don't fight it, you'll hurt yourself, I don't have time to waste here because I know you guys will be getting more powerful backups soon, I'll see you again Vellon and by then I'll forget we were ever friends, I still don't know why you betrayed us but I guess that won't matter anymore, you don't seem like yourself anymore, the Vellon I knew, is probably gone by now,," she said as she moved away from him and his eyes shook and his friend that wanted to help him gnashed their teeth when a whip appeared around his feet and he looked at Kyris who smirked and threw him into a tree and Kyllan kicked him, causing him to pass through a few more others and he coughed up blood then regained his balance.
