The door opened completely and they gasped; if they were terrified before, it was nothing compared to now. Their parents came in and looking murderous.

"Alex Russo, Justin Russo and Max Russo!! This is were you've been hiding?!" yelled Jerry furiously.

"Do you realize how worried we've been?!" yelled Theresa angrily.

Their gaze fell upon Alex. Alex quivered against Justin and he gave her a reassuring squeeze.

"Alexandra Russo! Do you know how much trouble you are in?" demanded Jerry.

Alex raised a shaking arm, pointing her wand at her parents.

"I'm sorry," she choked, tears stinging her eyes.

"Don't you dare, young lady…!" warned Theresa, but it was too late.

"P-Petrificar!" incanted Alex, her tears blurring her vision and threatening to fall.

Their parents froze and fell over. They stared in horror at the result of their actions and the teenagers ran as fast as they could before the spell wore off.

***

They ran through the hallway of enchanted suits of armor. Surely enough, the armors attacked them. Alex stopped in her tracks and stuck her hands out.

"ENVIADO DE VUELTA!!" she screamed.

A huge wave of magic swept along the hallway, knocking everything in its path, including Justin and Max. Along with the pieces of armor, they were sent crashing into the wall.

"Whoa!" exclaimed Max, upside down.

Justin, lying face down, slowly propped himself on his arms, visibly shaken by the impact.

"T-That was some magic. Some angry magic to be precise," he said weakly.

He raised his head and his eyes widened. Alex was glowing and her hair was flying around her by an invisible wind. Justin felt the power flowing through her and he knew that they were the wizards the prophecy was talking about.

Something moved at Justin's feet and he yanked them away in surprise. A suit of armor got to its feet and grabbed its sword. It aimed the weapon directly over Justin's heart. Justin braced himself for death…

"ATURDIR!!"

The spell hit the armor and it fell into pieces. Heart racing, Justin looked at Alex and gulped nervously. She glowed brighter than ever and her eyes sparkled with determination. A wind of magic was blown around her and it lifted her in the air. It created a bright light, hiding her almost completely. Her clothes melted away and were replaced by a beautiful set of wizard robes. They flowed around her and they bared her shoulders. The dark red robes hugged her body at every curve and the sleeves expanded at the end. A blue crescent moon appeared on her forehead. Justin knew that mark: it was the mark of the most powerful wizard to be existed, the mark that Crumbs was desperately trying to attain.

A saying came back to Justin:

Only those whose intentions are pure can achieve full dominating power.

Justin knew that the one with pure intentions would use that power to make the world a better place and not to dominate it. He watched Alex descend back to the ground and onto her knees, the power overwhelming her. He crawled toward her and took her face in his hands. He felt and electric current course through him, starting from the tip of his fingers and ending deep inside of him. Alex looked up at his touch and Justin gently pressed his lips and hers. Another electric current passed through, bigger than the last, and it sent Justin's heart racing. Alex gasped against his lips and pulled. They both realized that Justin was glowing, too, but when he removed his hands, he no longer did.

Finally, Alex stopped glowing and seemed to have returned to normal.

"W-What happened to me?" asked Alex weakly.

"I think you just gained the ultimate power Crumbs was looking for," answered Justin.

"But why me? Everyone knows that I'm the least responsible one when it comes to magic!" she questioned further.

"Or when it comes to anything for that matter," said Justin under his breath.

Seeing the desperate expression on her face, he gave the best answer he could muster.

"I believe magic chooses its suitor."

Alex stared at him.

"Hey, Alex? What's that thing on your forehead?" asked Max, practicing his fighting skills with a sword.

"What thing?" asked Alex, confused.

Max passed her an armor bodice. Alex checked her reflection and gasped as she felt the crescent moon with her fingertips.

"It's the mark of ultimate power. There's only one of its kind and you have it," said Justin as she opened her mouth to ask.

"I know it's completely unrelated but how long does that freezing spell you casted on Mom and Dad last?" asked Max, swinging the sword around.

The other two stared; Justin was the first to recover.

"A couple of hours since Alex is all mighty," answered Justin.

Alex glowered at him.

"You make me sound like a comic book superhero," she scoffed, unimpressed.

Her brothers laughed. Justin got to his feet and helped Alex onto hers. Footsteps were once again heard running toward them. This time, they spoke to them.

"I know you're here. Be good and stay where you are."

"No way in hell!" yelled Alex.

"Shush, Alex! We have to hide you! You're the one who's in the biggest danger!" exclaimed Justin.

Alex had an idea.

"Grab my hands! Both of you!" she commanded.

They obeyed.

"Transporte!" incanted Alex.

They disappeared with Crumbs arriving on time to see them leave.
