"I am sorry Princess Aisha, but there's nothing I can do to save his sight."

"No magic can heal this type of dark magic."

"Not even alien technology can help."

These apologies just made her break down in silence. It was just too much for the young raven princess due to a nightmare that became a reality. Her best friend may never have his sight ever again.
Chattering was heard in a building today, chains jiggling, grunts were heard, ropes being tugged and large gulps were jugged from their flask.

Aisha, seen sitting on her one knee, panting. Her black wrapped hands curled up into fist and shaking abit from her shoulders while being on break. Her main concentration was a boxing bag, dangling slowly in front of her. Her eyes were stalking the bag, preying it like a wild animal catching its meal. Low growling was heard between her mouthguard, sweat dripping down her cheek until. She immediately rises from the mat and ran toward the bag and did some quick swift punches along with hooks and jabs.

I...

More punches occurred along with kicks.

I must...

How can she fight this battle on her own now?

I must...

So many lives being taken away because of her actions and yet... she still stands.

NOT GIVE UP!

Aisha continues jabbing the punching the bag until one kick later, the bag was pushed back against the wall, surprising some of the gym members. The raven, seen sweating profusely from her race track sports bra, shorts, and her wet hair, panting while a clump of her hair covered her right eye. Veins popping out of her neck, muscles twitching. Sweat covering around her tan feminine body along with her tattoos as well. Just as the girl stood there, calming her breathing from her nose. There was this... burning sensation she had felt before, but when did she felt this?

Around her neck, was the black shard that was given to her the day Fuego was revived. Examining closely, it was just a simple shard, but this shard was a sign of honor, dedication and... a Mayan Princess.

No one... shall stand in my way...

Her right hand curled into a fist in an instant, unaware that it was producing black flames which were unordinary since she only produced red and orange flames when she is in rage. Did she unlock another power that she was not unaware of? That's something she must discover for herself.

Meanwhile

It has been a few hours since Cousin Aisha left for the gym, sadly. Kanou-a was, of course, getting worried about his baby cousin due to Friend Bryan's lost his sight due to a battle of a "Nightmare Gargoyle" Grandmother Sebastiana explained which is very unusual since it is usually summoned by dark magic. Friend Lance and Kevin were doing okay after their recovery due to having their life source taken away from them by, what Kevin calls them. "The Dark Shadows"

Very scary... Kanou-a thought.

"Hey, Kanou-a."

The cute merman turned his head to reveal Cousin Gwen, in her hand was a plate and on that plate was a sandwich presented to him.

"Thank you, Cousin Gwen." Kanou-a took the plate from her hands, munching away that bready and meaty goodness that he liked since landing on earth last year. These were some of the foods that Aisha showed him. Right now the Mayans were in the living room, relaxing and trying to forget what happened to Bryan several days ago.

"Man, I hope bestie is ok Lance." Miranda pouted when Lance was painting her nails purple.

"Selena will be fine, she just needs to... release herself. That's all." Lance kept painting. In his mind, he was getting worried about Aisha as well. She kept blaming herself, admitting that she should have been the one being blind. "Besides, seeing her like that just makes me wanna cry as well." Lance continued.

"She's been through worse Lance. I mean, we're Mayans. We stay together no matter what, right?"

"That is correct Friend Miranda," Ke-inno admitted as he was seen meditating on the marble living room floor with his legs folded Indian style. Seen wearing a sky blue shirt along with black shorts and barefooted. Sadly, he and his brothers no longer have their long locks of hair anymore due to the academy's policy. So, as an offer, Aisha suggested she knew a hairstylist that can cut their hairs. One by one, black covered the checkered floor of the salon. All mermen had neck length hair, similar to Kevin's trademark hair. Ke-inno's hair was a bit wavey as well as his brothers and to make things worse, their ends turned brown, leaving alone their black hair, but Aisha colored their ends with their color. She can paint all the colors of the wind alright.

The moment was ruined when TK sang out loud and unexpected, most groan and covered their ears due to his singing whenever he has his headphones on. He kept singing and dancing when he came back to his room.

"TEEEEEEEEKAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!"

After a quick refresh and a bandage around her left ankle(supposably from the kicking of the boxing bag). She slowly walked out of the gym building, limping and groaning. She put so much pain when she released a lot of strength just by punching on a boxing bag, but at least she calmed herself down just to ease the stress she was in for several days. Her train of thought ended when she saw familiar hair at the corner of the gym. Brown eyes blinked in confusion.

"Jimmy?"

The hair moved, to reveal a young boy's face, smiling nervously.

"Um hi, Aisha." He responded as Aisha walked toward him, limping slowly.

Black eyes noticed her sprained ankle. "What happened?"

"Long story, what you doing here?" Aisha smiled calmly at the cute boy.

"Oh um..well... I was walking around as always and.. I saw you and..." Jimmy Jones blushed a bit, fiddling his index fingers. The cute slick back brown-haired boy was a fanboy toward Aisha, mostly due to her amazing boxing skills, but mostly being a sweetheart toward the boy when a group of teenagers was surrounding him at Hollywood Academy, so Aisha saved him and the two became friends. He wore a black hoodie, opened along with a red heart where his heart was and under it was a white shirt. Brown pants along with black and white shoes. Just when Jimmy was about to say something, Aisha suggested.

"How about we get some ice cream? My treat." Aisha responded.

"I-Ice cream? Oh! Of course!"

When Jimmy came back with their orders of ice cream, Aisha wore a black pull-over hoodie due to getting cold somehow and so the two started talking the night away and Aisha told them what happened to her friend Bryan, who was now blind due to an expected attack known as a nightmare gargoyle that her grandmother explained. Sadly, Bryan's sight was permanent and there was no cure.

"Wait? Not even magic can save his sight." Jimmy exclaimed.

"Yeah. Some friend, I am Huh?" Aisha slowly looked down at her ice cream cup, stirring up the melted ice cream into a pink and white swirl.

"It wasn't your fault Aisha and ya know it. You were just protecting your friends."

"Yeah. The friends I let down. I couldn't save Bryan sight and now he has to live with it for the rest of his life."

Jimmy looked at the princess in sadness. This was something that he hardly knew about Aisha when the news revealed that she was a princess. Jimmy looked furthermore of the story and it was shocking even the story behind Aisha's origin, but a princess?! Wow, Jimmy has been sitting and talking to the princess when she started high school and no one knew it? He couldn't believe that his dad was about to expel her due to the media knowing about her origin, but thankfully, he didn't.

"The real Aisha wouldn't be sad like this. It wasn't your fault and you've been through way worse things like saving the earth, restoring your planet but most of all. You're a boxer! You can knock anyone out in an instant. That's the Aisha I know deep down and.. she wouldn't go down without a fight. I always knew you were special Aisha the day we met." That's when he blushed. Making Aisha tilt her head, cocking a brow.

"Um..th-that's not what I meant Aisha, I-I mean!" Jimmy just stuttered in embarrassment, looking away and making Aisha laugh for the first time. Jimmy looked at her confused, raising a brow.

"I'm sorry." She kept laughing but stopped, wiping a tear off her eye. "But... it's been a while since I last laugh due to all of this happening. I guess I needed some smiling and laughing in my life, thanks, Jimmy." She soon kissed his cheek, making the small boy blush more. "You seem to know what I'm going through Jimmy. Thanks again." Aisha smiled softly.

"Y-yeah! and remember. I'm your number one fan!" Jimmy cheered. Soon, the two started laughing and chatting away before it was getting late.

After dropping off Jimmy at his home, Aisha went straight home this instant. After parking the Jeep in the garage, she went up the patio of the front door, opening it slowly and entered where the Mayans were seen in the living room, relaxing.

"Aisha," Ben whispered.

"Cousin Aisha." Kanou-a smiled softly.

"Finally." Nova grinned as Gwen nudged on her side, grunting.

"Where did you go bestie?" Miranda asked.

"Hi. I was just.."

"You ok?" Lance asked.

"I felt better." Aisha smiled.

Soon the teens hugged the small raven in one huge hug.

"How's the hangout?" Aisha asked.

"Are you talking about that dull little gathering at the house? Aisha, you know it is not a hang out if you're not there." Albedo grinned, putting his hands on his hips.

"Listen, guys, all we did tonight was stay home after school all day and waited for Aisha to come back home." Gwen joined.

"Cousin Gwen is correct. We shan't waste tonight toward sleeping!" Koniel agreed.

"That's right! Of course. I say it's time we Mayans head to the beach for some fun!" Ben shouted out.

"Don't we need our bathing suits for this?" Aisha interrupted and everyone looked at the princess with a grin on their face.

"Hey! Why are you guys looking at me like that?" That's when Aisha yelped by surprise when Ben carried her over his shoulder.

"Onward to the beach everyone!" Ben shouted and Aisha just stayed still when everyone grabbed their stuff and headed towards Venice beach.

After relaxing and laughing around the bonfire, they were roasting some s'mores that Kanou-a and his brothers were fond of especially Nova and her sisters. The Mayans were chatting and keeping themselves warm in the big bonfire. All, but not Aisha, who got up to walk around the beach by herself.

"Where's she going?" Kevin asked with a mouthful from the fifteenth s'more he ate.

"I think she wants some time for herself at this moment." TK smiled.

Now away from the gang, she decided a walk around the area would ease her mind; the sky was glittering with stars along with a big full moon that glowed brightly. Such a sight it was. She could stare at it all night if she had to. In Aisha's left hand, she looked at her ring and soon made it glow for a moment, soon a red star appeared; Fuego. How can a girl like her be normal and soon discovered she was a princess the next day? Life is getting weirder by the second, but she wouldn't change it. She had everything she wanted; she had friends that became her family, a family that she had reunited after sixteen years. Well, her sixteenth birthday was coming up soon and she knew the Mayans and her family were planning something huge for her.

Mom, I know what I must do, I can't let the negativity get to me after everything that has happened. I won't let that torment me anymore! I'm not running away again. I have to keep going forward no matter what. "Always believe in yourself and trust what's in your heart," that's what you told me mom... and I believe.

Aisha thought when she looked at her right palm, flickering black flames from within. It surprised herself mostly, but with amazement. Came along with the wind blowing her hair calmly. Some of her hair that covered her right eye was pulled off as if her mother was there to pushed it off.

I...can make it on my own
Can do it by myself
'Cause you made me a woman
I'm ready for you
And the world has changed today
I'm comin' back to life
And everything makes sense now...

Somewhere else

"AHHH!" The Dark Shadows leader, who she renamed, Ahsia screamed in pain due to her heart aching and hurting somehow. She grunts in pain as she tries to calm herself down for a moment while gripping on the sheets of the bed. Once that calm down, she wasn't sure what that meant honestly until.

"Ahsia!" A negative copy of Lance approached, barging in the door. "We got a problem!"

"What problem?" She slowly got up.

"See it for your self."

In another room, Ecnal and the rest of the Dark Shadows entered and Ahsia gasped the loudest. Sixteen animal stone statues stood proud and strong. Left to the right was a Fox, a grizzly bear, two wolves, a wildcat, polar bear, a snow leopard, a gorilla, a dolphin, an eel, humpback whale, a shark and lastly, three hummingbirds. All standing 6 feet tall, but the leader was mostly shocked when she noticed that the stone fox, was glowing black flames around itself. Just one touch of the stone fox and it burned her hand.

"Ah! That girl must have unlocked her powers once more?" Ahsia looked at her hand.

"What?" Neb looked at the leader confused.

"You're an idiot Neb," Adnarim sigh, stroking her purple hair out of her face.

"Everyone listen if one of your true selves unlocks their powers. This could be the end of us.."

"End of us?!"

"So what should we do?" Nivek asked in panicked.

"Prevent the Mayans by unlocking their powers by taking their life source." The leader pulled out a dagger from her side and left. Only to go to another room that had a board lineup with the Mayans pictures, some had red crosses on them.

"Care to do the honors?" She grinned and gave the dagger to Adnarim, confused at first but grinned. With the dagger in hand, she threw it at the board, aiming for the next target of the Mayans.

Gwen Tennyson.

Back home in the night of Hollywood, Bryan got home from his physical Therapy of how to use the white cane. It was hard but this was the only way to "see." After being helped in the shower, he was soon tucked in bed by his mom and went to sleep.

During his sleep, he started grunting, even shaking.

"No... no...!"

In his dream, a blue light was seen bright in the sky along with a deadly scream then an explosion. The sky was back to normal along with the stars, but what he saw was shard, landing in the grass then another scream came.

Bryan immediately sat upon his bed, panting and sweating.

No...

I'm back bitches and finally passed my courses. HOOOORAAAAAAAYYYY!

So I thought I give the name of a new group of villains I came up when I was at school doing my essays (thanks Kevin...)

I hope the pronunciation would help you along the way.

Ahsia = Asia

Ecnal = Eas, like easy- Nahl, like Ronald Dahl

Nivek = Neev-Eek

Neb = Neb (o-o, rhythms with bed, that's all I got)

Adnarim = Odd-Nar, like Narina, ri- um.

I hope this helps ya'll. And bxk-freakazoid, please don't kill me. I had to make the story with more sacrifices.

More chapters will be coming along the way. See ya and have a Merry Christmas.

Again, I always forget to say I do not own the songs that I always put in my stories so here it goes.

I don't own any of the songs that I put in my story.

Song used was "You Made Me a Woman" by Rosselli Elisa From the Movie Winx Club: Secrets of the lost kingdom.
