"Sunset?! I can't believe we wasted a day trying to go to such a boring place!" Gingka exclaimed.
Ryuga left the area.
"Did you learn anything?" Gazelle asked.
"Yes, I learnt that Hoshi can mess with us and I think she is evil." Gingka replied.
"Evil? You think I am evil? Gingka, you are just too funny!" Hoshi laughed.
"I am being serious! Do you guys think she is evil?" Gingka shouted.
"Nope!" The three boys replied.
Suddenly, they were surrounded by Crystal Creatures. Hoshi was laughing too much to notice.
"Uh... Hoshi we're surrounded by Crystal Creatures and they might kill us if you don't use your magic." Benkei shouted.
Hoshi was still laughing and didn't take any notice.
Gingka punched one, but it hurt his hand due to the fact their bodies were made of crystal.
"Ow!I thought that Crystal Creatures was just a name."Gingka yelled.
The Crystal Creatures were about to fire a deadly beam, but they faded away as someone hit the back with a magical blast. Hoshi had stopped laughing at that moment.
A small Magi with black hair and a hat covering his eyes approached them.
"Thank you for saving us." Gazelle spoke with clear gratitude.
"It's no problem, but don't you have a Magi with you that could have fought off the Crystal Creatures?"." The stranger replied.
"Crystal Creatures? Where?" Hoshi asked looking around.
"She was distracted by my cousin's ridiculous accusation." Gazelle explained. Gingka blushed out of embarrassment.
"What is your name?" Benkei asked.
"Babylon." The figure replied.
He turned to face Hoshi.
"Ni, hun tujuna lazma?" He asked.
"Rina." Hoshi replied.
"What are they saying?" Gingka whispered.
"Well, Babylon asked if she was single and she answered no." Gazelle answered.
"Well that's a shame, but I guess the pretty girls are usually taken anyway." Babylon said.
"Step away from my lady! I heard exactly what you said!" Kenta shouted angrily at him.
Babylon stepped away.
"Listen I came to warn you guys about Aguyr, a ruthless villain who wants to exterminate every single Magi on the planet as they would interfere with his plans, including me." Babylon spoke with a serious tone.
"We are going back to the house, want to come with us?" Gazelle asked.
"Sure." Babylon replied.
LATER
After dinner, the five boys and lady were discussing about Aguyr. Gingka suggested it was Ryuga and everyone laughed at his theory. Kenta was keeping his eyes locked on Babylon, Benkei noticed this.
"Kenta, could I talk to you in private in the bedroom." Benkei asked.
"Okay." Kenta replied.
The two boys entered the bedroom.
"Kenta, are you jealous of Babylon?" Benkei asked.
"I am not." Kenta replied with haste.
"Then, why were you looking at Babylon so bitterly?" Benkei asked.
"Okay, I'm jealous as he flirted with my girlfriend." Kenta yelled.
"I know he has been flirting, but look at Hoshi, she does not seem to take any notice." Benkei said calmly.
The two boys left the bedroom.
THE NEXT MORNING
The five boys and lady were awake. After breakfast, they were wondering where to go.
"We didn't go to the Crystal Runes yesterday and with the Crystal Creature attack, I think we should investigate there." Gazelle suggested in a serious tone.
"It might be dangerous, but let's go." Benkei replied.
LATER
The five boys and lady had arrived at the Crystal Runes. The ancient ruins sparkled as if it was whole. The fountain in the centre was glowing in a mysterious green colour. Gingka touched the fountain with the tip of his finger. The ground started to shake vigorously. Then Crystalita, a little, white haired Crystal Creature and ten other Crystal Creatures arose from the fountain. Gingka was panicking and running around screaming. Everyone turned around.
"You thought you defeated me, but you were wrong." Crystalita said emotionlessly.
"Yeah, we always come back." Jeered the small, white haired Crystal Creature.
"Calm down, Pearly White we have some business to attend to." Crystalita smirked.
Babylon and Hoshi quickly took out the ten other Crystal Creatures with ease.
"It seems I misjudged your abilities, but I am afraid this fight will be your last." Crystalita spoke as she fired a beam of light at Hoshi. The beam barely missed and injured Hoshi's left foot. Hoshi screamed loudly.
Babylon saw that Crystalita and Pearly White were distracted and fired a magical blast at their backs and they faded away.
"Are you okay?" Gazelle asked looking rather worried.
"Ow! I can't walk on my left foot." Hoshi replied while elevating her left foot.
Benkei picked Hoshi up and was carrying her.
"I think it is best to return to the house." Gingka suggested.
LATER
Hoshi was put down onto the sofa with her left foot on a pillow. She took her shoes off and her white socks off. Gazelle and Benkei were examining her left foot.
"I am not a doctor, but I definitely see that is sore and has swelled up a little, so I wouldn't walk on it for a while." Gazelle explained.
"Hey, I have some medicine and it will make you feel better." Kenta said cheerfully as he kissed Hoshi. She blushed and her cheeks were pink.
Babylon had a green fizzing potion in his hand.
"Please take this potion as it will heal your injury." Babylon suggested. Hoshi drank the potion in a few mighty gulps. She put her socks and shoes back on and stood up as her injury was gone in a few seconds.
"Her injury is gone, but how?"Gingka asked.
"Simple, I used a potion which I brewed myself." Babylon stated.
He then looked at the clock and it read quarter to five.
"I got to go; it was nice meeting you guys. Minyo!" Babylon waved.
"Bye!" Everyone replied.
LATER AT AN UNKNOWN LOCATION
A tall man with black hair with a red streak was sitting on a large throne sipping a light blue drink in a tall glass.
Babylon crept slowly into the room.
"Ah, Babylon so you gave her the poison that will kill her in two days?" The figure asked.
"Yes, master Aguyr." Babylon said nervously.
"I know you are lying. I can tell." Aguyr said as he looked fiercely at Babylon.
"You promised that Hoshi wouldn't get hurt and she got injured due to one of your Crystal Creatures shot a beam that could have killed her!" Babylon retorted.
"That is true and I apologise for that. You did give her another potion with negative effects, right?" Aguyr said as he poured more of the strange drink.
"Yes, sir I gave her one that would make her powers go out of control in a couple of days. It did heal her of her injury." Babylon whispered as he lowered his head.
"Excellent. Despite it being not what I wanted, it definitely is devious."Aguyr laughed evilly as he poured another glass.
"You want any of this?" Aguyr asked.
"No thank you." Babylon replied.
'I am so sorry everyone, but I have no choice.' Babylon thought.
