Ben POV

"Ready...Start!"

I lunged forward with my spear at the ready towards Danny. Danny did the same with his sword unsheathed. I stopped and blocked an overhead strike with my spear. I spun around and tried to sweep Danny's legs from under him with my right leg.

When my leg struck air, I looked up to see Danny in the air and landing right behind me. I dodged his second overhead strike and leaped back onto my feet.

"Don't be so predictable Daniel, change your moves!"

I smiled at the advice that Six gave Danny. But stopped when Danny listened to his instructions and used his sword to throw dirt into my eyes. I yelled in pain as I felt that grains of sand and rock slip under my eyelids and irritate my eyes. I rubbed my eyes with one hand as I kept my spear at the ready with my other hand. I tried to focus on my surroundings as I took the dirt out of my eyes.

"Good Daniel, a strong fighter takes advantage of their surroundings."

I growled in slight frustration when I realized that Danny is too quiet for me to hear him.

"I've got you now!"

I turned around and used my powers to create a shield and threw a mana disk at him. I sighed when I realized when I lost the match because I used my powers.

I stood up and slung my spear across my back and held my hands up.

"Yeah I lost, can someone give me water so I can wash my eyes out?"

I felt someone push a water bottle into my hand. I opened it and started to wash my eyes when I realized that it was eerily quiet, normally, I could hear Danny boasting his win and Six scolding me for using my powers. Before I could clean out my eyes completely, I heard yelling.

"Someone go get Rex! Where's Igris!?"

I wiped the water from my eyes and looked around to see an empty courtyard with Six walking towards me.

"What did you do?"

I tilted my head in confusion.

"I sent a mana disk towards him?"

"Obviously it wasn't just a mana disk, it swallowed him whole and he's gone."

I felt terror sink in.

"I d-didn't kill him, d-did I?"

"Now calm down, let's think logically, now try and make that same disk again. For all we know, it could have been a portal of some kind."

I nodded my head, calmed down and closed my eyes, I tried to imagine the emotions I had when I threw the disk. I slowly let the mana materialize in my hand and threw it in front of me.

I opened my eyes again to see the mana disk just hovering above the ground horizontally. I almost started crying tears of joy when I saw Danny's head pop out of it.

"Oh thank god, I was wondering how long I was going to be stuck in there."

Danny hopped out and looked at the portal as it slowly closed. He looked back at as it closed. When it closed completely, he looked back at me.

"What was that anyway, you sent me to a place that is completely empty? It was huge too, I could have walked for miles in any direction."

"I don't even know what I did, let alone where I sent you."

He put his hand on his chin in a thinking pose as we tried to figure out what exactly I did. Six's voice brought me out of the daze.

"Isn't your cousin well versed in these powers, let's go ask her."

We followed Danny as he walked out of the courtyard and led us to the library, where Gwen was reading a book. She looked up when she saw the three of us walked into the room.

"Hey, guys, what's up?"

"Something came up with Cas's powers, we were wondering if you can help us figure them out."

She nodded her head and stood up.

"Sure, go ahead and show me Ben."

I created the mana disk, this time it was easier to make it. When I was done, Gwen observed it for a little bit and then carefully climbed into the portal. She came back out a couple of seconds later and gave me the go-ahead to close it.

"Well, it looks like to be a portal to another dimension, something like a pocket dimension. I think it can be used as storage, but I don't know, maybe we should test it out before we decided to put anything important in there. Go ahead and open the portal again"

She grabbed her hot cup of tea that was on the table and put it in once I opened it. She wiped her hands when I closed the portal again.

"There, that cup of tea should be cold in a couple of hours, we can check on it later or tomorrow to see if the concept of time applies to that dimension."

Gwen walked out of the room after waving goodbye. Six followed her soon after, saying that he wanted to check on the wellbeing of Rex and the other two. Igris looked at me.

"Your cousin sure is smart, I think she would get along with my sister pretty well."

"I'm pretty sure they would get along."

"Anyways, let's go and met up with Rex and all the others, I'm pretty sure this newfound power of yours is going to fit into our plan nicely, let's just get together to discuss any changes to the plan."

I tiled my head in confusion.

"Plan, I didn't hear anything about a plan."

"Yeah, Alex is supposed to tell us about the plan he made."

"Speaking of, you never told me how Alex got back into the equation."

"Remember the time we got a warning note at Neos house?"

I nodded my head and he continued.

"Well, he was the one who gave us the warning, and he gave us another warning when we were at your house, before we left, he revealed himself and offered for him to come along so he can help us make a plan.

"Ohhhh, that makes sense."

"Yup now let's go and meet up with the others."
