Rise of the Malactric Heir

"He's a fire user like me, I need to find a weak spot, he's all muscles, I'm not, if he gets furious enough, he'll smash me like a bug, this guy is far stronger than me, but that doesn't mean I can't beat him," Aerav thought as the man stared at him with flaming eyes.

"He needs to find a weak spot in that guy, he's obviously a killer and doesn't care how he treats Aerav," Alix stated.

"He'll be fine," Adora replied, sighing. "Have more faith in your teammates, they'll make you stronger."

"Do you believe in us?" Alix asked.

"No, I don't," she said as her phone rang and she pulled it out.

"Unknown, strange," Nina said as she entered and fixed Adora's hair.

"Answer," Adora said as she handed the phone to the girl.

"Hello," Nina answered.

"A- Adora... I'd like to speak with the princess," the person said hesitantly.

"Who are you?" Nina asked.

"Who is it?" Adora asked as a huge blast came from the ring and she flung up from her seat but couldn't see anything due to the smoke.

"What happened?" Nina asked.

"I- I can't tell," Adora said as the smoke cleared and they saw Aerav panting with blood running down his burnt arm and the other guy severely injured.

"If he doesn't end this fight, it's going to be really bad,' Adora said as Aerav looked up at the princess with tears in his eyes.

"Damn it," she said as she jumped over the rail and out of the VIP section. Everyone stared at her as she walked alongside the ring, and her eyes began to glow red.

"I am commanding you to win this fight right now; if you don't, you will be known as a coward forever, is that clear?" He smiled as his flames formed a sword, and Alix grinned.

"I'm not going to be a coward, the princess gave us a lot of time to improve, and today I'm going to push past my limits," he yelled as the guy rushed to him and he slashed him across the stomach afterward punched him with a fiery fist and didn't stop, he moved so fast that the guy had no chance of a counter-attack.

"Finish it off now," Adora said and Aerav jumped up in the air and stomped the guy into the ring causing him to fall unconscious.

"He won by a fluke," Alix said as they went down to the ring and Nina passed Adora the phone.

"Who is it?" she asked.

"I really don't know but he asked for you," Nina responded as Adora collected the phone.

"Hello," she said.

"Adora..." the person scremed out and her eyes shook as the call ended.

"What the hell was that?" she asked.

"What's the matter?" Eliza asked.

"Was it someone you know?" Liza asked.

"I am not sure but I think so," she responded then they announced Aerav as the winner and Adora smiled as Alix looked around and saw a few other captains and royals were staring at her.

"You are being observed," Alix said.

"That's what happens when you wield power in your hands; you'll get that look soon enough," she replied as Eliza hooked onto him.

"When did you two become friends?" Yola inquired, and Alix sighed.

"I am not anyone's friend; apparently I became something for them to cling to," Alix responded, to which Yola laughed.

"I'm relieved he won," Liza said.

"Yeah, so am I, he's worked hard and came a long way in the last few weeks," Alix responded.

"Raise off Eliza, stop clinging, you have no reason to and even I am glad but this fight clearly showed you guys need more training which you will receive at our next destination, I will make sure you all improve before the team fight, then Alix and the captain's, I swear you guys lose and I will make your lives a living hell for wasting my time," Adora said as Aerav approached them and they smiled nervously.

"Sorry," Aerav apologized as Adora raised her hand and patted him on the head, causing Aerav to smile.

"It's fine, you won and did well, you just need to learn to have more control over your powers and you'll be fine, I'll have one of my team members teach you that," Adora replied, and they burst out laughing as Aerav cried happy tears.

"For God's sake, don't... be such a baby," Alix said, and Adora sighed with relief as Yola wrapped his arm around her neck and she grabbed onto it then wrung it back.

"Damn it, that hurts," he said then she released him.

"Ouch that must have hurt, really bad, though you deserved it," Eliza said and he scoffed.

"Touch me without my permission again and I will break it, it would seem that perversion runs in the family, right Eliza?" she said and he started laughing as she smiled

"She knows how to hit you where it hurts that for sure, you are so mean," Eliza said and Adora sighed.

"Let me see your arm," Adora said and Aerav lifted his burnt arm then she placed her hand on it which was glowing blue and his arms started healing.

'There, you are good to go," she said and he smiled then bowed his head.

"Thank you," he replied.

"No problem, I am going back to the castle, the royal ship will be leaving at night, the car will pick you guys up, make sure you are on time, anyone that's late will be left behind, see ya," Adora said.

"Don't worry we will be on time," Sarah replied as the princess walked away and Alix looked at her with curiosity.

"Alix what are you going to do now?" Liza asked.

'I will head to the bakery, I have to talk to Sally," he responded and she smiled.

"I see, well i will see you guys later too," Liza said and they all went their separate ways.
