Sorry it took so long but between school and stuff it's been hard to find time to write the story. Not to mention it took ages to get a suitable battle scene for the story. Battle scenes are so hard to write trying to make it seem real and making sure it all fits together and stuff. Well read on and you'll see the battle.

A New Sun

Chapter 6: The Mystery Revealed

By Daikar

After talking to Hammet and Layana, Daray, Kith, Lilithan and Nerrissa had begun checking out Kalay properly, making sure to keep an eye out for Alexis and the mystery beast.

"This town is way bigger than Vault. How are we supposed to find Alexis and the Pluto Djinni?" Nerrissa said feeling slightly frustrated.

"Well Master Hammet told us the places where it has been spotted. Not to mention since there is a Djinni with the same type of power as Alexis chances are she's looking for it too." Daray replied.

* * *

"There we go. Now just do what I told you if you don't you'll have me to answer to." A mysterious man said to something hidden under his cape.

With a swish of his cape the man disappeared leaving behind a Pluto Djinni shaking slightly.

* * *

A little while later the group of Adepts were walking around just outside of Kalay near some cliffs.

"What's happening over there?!" Lilithan said.

Just ahead of them there were around fifty people all gathered together watching something at the edge of the cliffs. As they got closer they noticed the people all looked frantic. As they made their way through the crowd they noticed a little boy being made get closer and closer to the edge to avoid a little creature.

"It's the Pluto Djinni!!" Daray shouted.

"Ha! I finally caught up to you!" a familiar voice said.

"Look, over there it's Alexis!" Nerrissa said.

"I've been chasing that Pluto Djinni since this morning when it first appeared. It just appeared at our campsite really early and I started following it. I followed it to a small wood and it just disappeared into thin air." Alexis explained. "As far as I can tell it's got the power to project a copy of itself anywhere it wants."

"She's right, look over there!" someone screamed pointing at an exact copy of the Pluto Djinni.

"There are two of them."

"No it's the same one it's just using its powers to make a copy of itself." Alexis said.

As everyone was distracted by Alexis' arrival and the copy Djinni the real Djinni was slowly driving the little boy towards the edge of the cliff. Then all of a sudden the Djinni leapt at the little boy, he stepped back to avoid him but…

"Aaaaaggh!!"

"Oh no, he's fallen off the cliff somebody please save him." A woman said.

"What no, we've got to help him." Alexis said.

Daray and Lilithan rushed to the side of the cliff and watched helplessly as the boy fell to his death. All of a sudden a bright blue glow started radiating from Alexis. Everyone was mesmerized by the light, then-

"Project!" Alexis said in a trance.

"Look at the bottom of the canyon, it's…it's Alexis." Lilithan said.

"Lily's right, it is Alexis, and she's caught the little boy." Daray said confirming what Lilithan had said.

Than in the blink of an eye Alexis had put the little boy down and then disappeared.

"I…what just happened…one minute I was here then the next…I was at the bottom of the canyon catching that little boy." Alexis said totally confused as to what happened.

"Do you not remember? You started glowing a strange blue color then you said 'Project' and you appeared at the bottom of the canyon." Nerrissa explained.

"You learned some new psynergy, that's what happened. You wanted to save that little boy so much that you used your psynergy that you hadn't discovered to save him. It's just like what the Pluto Djinni did." Lilithan explained further.

"Well, now that the boy is safe we have a Pluto Djinni to stop." Kith said.

'A light blue color emanated from the Pluto Djinni signaling that it was ready for a fight. It charged at the Adepts and the light coming from it engulfed them. This brought a chill to their bones but they weren't going to back out of the fight. This suited the Djinni fine and it glowed once more as a snowstorm began to pick up around them. The freezing wind whipped at them from all sides hurting them, but not much. The snowstorm died down again and Nerrissa struck the first blow. The Djinni was knocked back but quickly got up again brushing off the attack as if it was nothing.

"Blade Flare" Kith started glowing a bright silver as the image of a sword slashed through the Djinni some what weakening it.

Daray got ready to attack next. Summoning up all his power he used the most powerful attack he could.

"Evil Mist" The battlefield, if you could call it one, became shrouded in a dark mist that sent a chill right through the other Adepts. They couldn't see the Pluto Djinni through the mist because it was so thick. But as quickly as it had appeared the mist disappeared again. When it had all disappeared they saw the Djinni there hunched over (only slightly cos of its small size). But it managed to recover itself enough to continue the fight. Before the Adepts could attack again the Djinni initiated another snowstorm but it didn't build up as quickly as before.

"Quick attack it while its weak. You might be able to…prevent its attack." Daray said between pants. He was still recovering from the effect his last attack had on him.

"Not until you recover. Here use this Psy Crystal." Lilithan passed a Psy Crystal from the pocket in her cloak to Daray. As soon as he touched it he could feel it beginning to take effect, in seconds he was feeling his usual perky self.

"Okay I'm better now. Attack it."

"Here goes nothing. Undertow." As Lilithan said it she was covered in a dark blue psynergetic light. All around her and the Pluto Djinni water appeared, then the Djinni suddenly began to plummet further and further into the water. Seconds later the water disappeared and the other Adepts reappeared (they couldn't be seen due to the power of the psynergy). This attack looked like it had finished the Djinni off, but it was having none of it. It stood up again ready for another bashing by whichever Adept wanted to try and knock it out.

"It sure is a stubborn little thing, isn't it? It must run through all beings that possess Pluto Psynergy." Nerrissa said smiling.

Alexis, ignoring Nerrissa's reference to her stubbornness, attacked the Pluto Djinni with her Long Sword. This attempt still wasn't enough to stop the Djinni so Kith decided on one last attack. Summoning up his psynergy he focused it into his Long Sword.

"Energy Razor" With the new power contained in the weapon Kith swung at the Pluto Djinni slicing through it four times before the power had all been used up. This onslaught had done it. The Djinni had no power left in it. It knew when it was well and truly beaten.'

"You have proven your worth, now I shall join your quest." The Pluto Djinni spoke up.

The Djinni suddenly shot up into the sky out of the Adepts sight. Then light blue colored fragments fell from where the Djinni had gone. Like a small snowfall focused on one spot the fragments fell into Alexis. When they had all disappeared into her she felt different, stronger!

"Well, that was interesting. A small child being kidnapped by a Djinni, that's something you don't see happening everyday." Lilithan said.

"I know what you mean. The strangest part is that is not the sort of thing Djinn do. Djinn are peaceful creatures who don't like to hurt people unless they're in danger. I don't think that Djinni did all this on its own. Alexis get him to come out again." Kith said. So Alexis summoned her new Djinni.

"Hi again. I am Freeze, a Pluto Djinni." The Djinni said.

"Nice to meet you. We were wondering, well Kith was anyway, why did you start attacking that little boy?" Daray asked.

"I did it for fear of my life." Freeze told them.

"Who was your life in danger of (or is it from, I'm not sure)? Surely not that little boy." Lilithan said.

"No, of course not. A man made me attack that little boy. He said if I didn't I'd be in trouble." Freeze said.

"But who? Who is the man that told you to do such an awful thing?" Nerrissa asked.

"It was-" Freeze began.

"Me!"

"It's that man I saw in Vault after that zombie creature attacked. The one I told you about." Daray said.

"He's right. I'm the one who brought the zombie into Vault. I'm the one who made your little friend there attack the little boy." The man said.

"But who are you? And why did you do those things?" Alexis asked.

"I am Polaron, a Neptune Adept. Soon to be the most powerful Adept in the world. I did those things because I wanted to. I know of your quest and I can't let you light the lighthouses because that will destroy my plans of ultimate power. So now I must destroy you." The man starts laughing maniacally.

"Come on and destroy us then. We'd like to see you try." Kith said over confident in his abilities.

"My dear deluded friends I'd crush you in seconds, you wouldn't stand a chance against me. Anyway, I have too much to do to destroy you now but I'll leave you with a little parting gift anyway. Cycle" He casts the psynergy then with a swish of his cape disappears laughing once again. Seconds pass then all of a sudden the five young Adepts keel over from the poison inflicted upon them.

End of chapter 6.
