They hid in the Entrance Hall. Alex stood in the heart of it, fully exposed and made sure that her hair didn't hide her mark. The others stood in the stairs, waiting for Crumbs. Justin was fidgeting; he didn't like having Alex in clear view of danger but Evilini said that was what will attract Crumbs. Alex was radiating powerful energy that was enough to attract villains from all over. But Evilini said not to worry: Alex was powerful enough to defeat them in a single blow.

The door opened with a loud creak and Crumbs appeared.

"There you are, Alex. Be a good girl and give me back your powers," he cooed.

His eyes paused at her forehead.

"You…You have it. The ultimate power that I have been yearning for…" said Crumbs.

He grabbed her wrist. Justin jumped to his feet but was yanked out of sight by Evilini and Max. Alex trembled with fright, praying that nothing would happen.

Her skin suddenly became hot and went up to the point of scorching to the touch. Crumbs let go with a yelp of pain and his hand was red from a burn that was beginning to form. Alex stared as she realized that she was the one who caused this.

"Why you little—" said Crumbs, getting ready to strike.

"Haz de sombra!"

A beam of light hit Crumbs and the evil energy inside of him left, evaporating in the air. Alex followed were it came from and saw that it came from the pendant Evilini was holding. The sapphire glowed brightly, nearly blinding them. It ceased, leaving them slightly dazed.

"Professor Crumbs? Are you all right?" asked Alex cautiously.

Crumbs looked at her and she was relieved to see that all the evil in his eyes was gone.

"W-What happened?" he asked, confused.

Alex opened her mouth to answer but a laugh came out that wasn't her own. They looked at the stairs and Evilini came down them, looking pleased in a very disturbing way.

"Finally, I'm the only evil one in this castle," she said, her eyes gleaming.

"See? There's a reason why I didn't want to work why her!!" yelled Justin.

"I said I didn't trust her, didn't I?!" yelled Alex.

"Now's not the time to bicker! We need to destroy that pendant or she'll take over this place!" exclaimed Crumbs, clearly back to his self.

"You won't stop me!" said Evilini as she ran for the exit.

"Barrera!" incanted Alex.

A powerful barrier appeared. Evilini tried to break it but soon realized that you could come in but you couldn't come out unless the caster said so. She spun around and shot energy at Alex.

"Escudo!" yelled Alex, blocking it.

It bounced back, going outside the barrier and nearly hit her brothers who scurried away.

"Aturdir!" yelled Alex, the magic coming out from her hands.

It hit Evilini and she crashed into the barrier. But she wasn't about to give up; she sent energy Alex's way and hit her, sending her crashing to the floor.

"Alex!" yelled Justin.

He ran down the stairs and jumped inside the barrier.

"Are you crazy, man?!" exclaimed Max, remaining in his hiding spot.

Justin rushed over to Alex and helped her on her feet.

"Alex! Are you okay?" he asked frantically.

Alex nodded.

"Prophecy…" she whispered.

Justin understood immediately.

"We need to aim for the pendant," he said.

Alex threw her arms around his neck and kissed him with fiery passion. Justin wrapped his arms around her waist. The couple began to glow as the spell started to build itself within them. Alex broke the kiss once she felt they were ready and, while keeping an arm around him, extended her arm, palm facing Evilini. Justin did the same.

"Mal rechazado!" they incanted together.

Energy came out of their hands and joined together to become one. It hit the pendant and the pendant absorbed it.

"Did you really think you could defeat me with that?" asked Evilini, a devilish smile playing her features.

The pendant suddenly cracked and shattered into hundreds of tiny pieces.

"NO!!" screamed Evilini angrily.

Suddenly, the students and staff of Wiztech materialized in front of them.

"We're back!" yelled a girl, ecstatic.

"All right!" yelled Hugh Normous.

"You're surrounded, Evilini. It's over," said Crumbs.

He flicked his wand and a pair of handcuffs appeared on her wrists. Two guards came out from the crowd and took her away.

"No! I won't be taken away! Crumbs, I love you!" yelled Evilini, her voice fading in the background.

Crumbs stared at her retreating form.

"I'll just pretend that I didn't hear that," he said.

The Russos nodded.

"Alex, Justin and Max. We are all so proud of you. You will receive special honors for services to the school and eternal gratitude," said Crumbs proudly.

The whole school applauded and cheered as the Russos beamed.

"Now, I assume that you want to go home," said Crumbs.

They nodded. Alex offered her hands to her brothers and they took them.

"Transporte!" incanted Crumbs.

They disappeared with everyone waving goodbye.

***

They reappeared on the terrace back home, stumbling slightly on the landing.

"What. A. Relief," said Alex.

"No kidding. It's good to be home," replied Justin, sighing in relief.

Max ran inside.

"Time to eat!" he exclaimed cheerfully.

"Really, Max? We come back from a crazy adventure and all you can think about is food?" asked Justin, amused, as he and Alex followed him inside.

"Justin, it's Max. I believe that's self-explanatory," said Alex, sitting on the couch and motioning him to sit next to her.

Justin joined her.

"Hey, I'm not complaining; I'm just glad that things are back to normal," he said, trying to defend himself.

"We're wizards: define normal," said Alex, giggling slightly.

Justin smiled and kissed her.

"Hey, guys? Not while I'm eating!" exclaimed Max indignantly.

Justin and Alex laughed.

"Uh, shouldn't Mom and Dad be here?" asked Justin suddenly.

Alex shrugged.

"They still must be at the castle," she answered casually.

"They'll be back. They'll be freakin' mad but they'll be back," said Max.

"How can they be mad? We just saved Wiztech! I'm sure they'll find out about it somehow," said Alex in disbelief.

"Well, we can only hope for the best. And by the best, I mean not-being-grounded-until-Christmas," replied Justin.

Alex groaned.

"At least they'll be proud of this," said Alex, pointing at her crescent moon mark.

"That they will be. We all are," said Justin, kissing her forehead.

"Do you think I can pass this as a tattoo? You know, for school?" she asked.

Her brothers laughed.

"C'mon, let's get some rest," said Justin.

They went upstairs, talking and laughing, without caring about what will happen to them.
