Sorry I took so long to update everyone. So here goes.

The Imposter

King Wade ran into his son and a girl with silver hair. "Reid, who is this?"

"Her name is Lena."

Lena looked at him. "Are you King Wade?" The red-haired man nodded.

"Are you the Sol adept?" King Wade asked. Lena nodded, glaring venomously.

"You have a Lunar adept here, right?"

King Wade gasped. "What's with the tone?"

"She was my friend. Now let her go."

King Wade shook his head. "I am afraid I cannot do that. Her kind is evil"

Lena pulled out her rapier. "All of them are not evil. And she has a unconscious It's Kali."

King Wade looked angry for a minute then smiled, leering at her. "What is your name, dear? Why don't we go to my manor and have a talk?" Lena scowled and swung her rapier at him to make quit looking at her. "I'm Lena. I hate lechers. No, I don't wanna talk, and I'm only here to find Kali! I won't hesitate to do harm."

King Wade looked over at Reid. "Son! Are you gonna let her talk to your father this way?"

Reid glared at him. "Dad-! I... I hate you! You're a selfish, conceited lecher, and you had no right to do what you did to my mom! And I'm helping Lena get Kali out of here!"

King Wade let his head down and laughed sinisterly. "Sorry you feel that way, Reid. You will be punished for it." He the made a surprise lunge at Lena. Reid jumped in the way and got tackled.

"Reid!" Lena blasted the big man off of him. Reid got up.

"I'll take you to the jail."

Kali turned back around on her back and closed her eyes, breathing. She was in pain and a lot of it. They would hang her tomorrow. Where was Lena? She had to be somewhere near here! Her eyes shot open.

Alex! Kali sensed Alex's presence. Not in the village, but not too far away, either. He was with someone... A girl...

Candace! He's with Candace! "N-no..." Kali said, weakly. "They can't be running into Alex this early...!"

Chris walked holding an unconscious Candace over his shoulder. "That was so easy..." he said to himself. "Though I didn't expect her to put up a fight..."

Flashback

Chris raised the club and prepared to strike her. Just before he was about to wallop her, Candace looked up. "And just what were you about to do with that club?" She then added his name. " 'Chris?'"

He looked at her, surprised. The girl is smarter than I thought, he thought to himself. Candace stood up, glared at him, and unsheathed her sylph rapier. "You aren't Chris, aren't you?"

He laughed. "So, you've finally figured that out..." Candace scrutinized him some more.

"Wait a minute..." She gasped. "You're Alex!"

Alex laughed. "Surprise surprise." Candace scowled and cast mother gaia. When the yellowish light had disappeared, he was still there, smiling. Candace looked like she had seen a ghost.

"Not even a scratch! No way!"

"Yes way!" He cast the same water trick on her that he had cast on the guards outside of Venus Lighthouse. Candace fell onto the ground hard.

No, she thought. I can... barely move... Alex appeared, standing over her.

"Good night, Candace. Pleasant dreams." He hit her hard over the head with the club and all went black...

End Flashback

Alex stopped. Someone was coming. He looked ahead of him at where he sensed and heard someone. A few seconds later, a spiky-haired boy that lookd about Candace's age appeared out of the tall grass. He saw Alex.

"Hey, I'm Aiden, have you seen a girl-" He stopped as he noticed a human on his shoulder. He recognized her at once. "Candace! Who are you? What did you do to her?"

Alex put on a look of mock surprise. "Why, you wound me, Aiden. To think I'd do anything to hurt my my darling Candace-"

"' Darling'? She doesn't even know you!"

"Oh, quite the contrary, my friend. We met at the boat. She has been nothing but friendly to me."

Aiden still looked unconvinced. "Well, give her to me, and I'll take her back with me. And you still didn't answer my questions."

"Oh. Well, I'm afraid you can't have her. I only knocked her out. And I'm Alex, by the way."

Aiden gasped. "Alex !" Alex let out a laugh. Aiden cast inferno on him. The balls of fire surrounded Alex and pounded into him. Alex warped in front of him and punched him. Aiden was thrown back. He sat up and clutched his stomach. Then he got up and swung his sword at him. Alex evaded like it was nothing. Then he got an end of his long blue hair and looked at it. He gasped. "You nicked my hair." He held out his hand and clinched his hand closed. Aiden grabbed his throat as if he was choking, and rised into the air as Alex raised his arm. When Aiden was very high up, Alex brung him down and slammed him into the ground as hard as he could. When he walked over to Aiden, he was unconcious.

Felix looked up. "I sense something bad." Everyone looked at him.

"I do, too," said Mia. "Do you think Sasha and the others are okay?"

"I hope so..." Isaac and Picard said in unison. Picard looked over at Sheba and Ivan. They were just sitting there, glowing a faint violet color. Then they stopped, looking alarmed.

"What is it?" Jenna asked.

"Alex!" exclaimed Sheba.

"He hasn't met up with Sasha and them, yet." Ivan told them. "But he has a boy... and a

girl."

"What does the girl look like?" Picard asked him.

"She has her hair put up kinda like my sister, Hama's... She looks around Sasha's age."

"Candace!" Felix and Picard exclaimed.

"I didn't think they'd run into Alex this early..." Mia said.

"We have to go find them." said garet, standing up. "We'll send that arrogant man flying over Gaia Falls!"

"We can't," Sheba replied.

"Why not?"

"They're on the other side of Weyward. We could use teleport, but we don't have the teleport lapis, and if we did, we can't teleport anywhere we haven't been! And we don't have a boat, either! Even if we did, though, common sense teels you you wouldn't make it in time. We gave a lot of our stuff to our children before they left, Garet."

Garet stamped his foot in frustration. "Dammit!There has to be something we can do!" Jenna stood up.

"Garet! Yelling and fuming isn't going to help any right now!"

"Well, it seems like you're doing the same thing!"

"I'm trying to shut you up!"

"Will you both shut up?" Ivan told them.

"Ivan, stay out of this!" Jenna told him.

"He's trying to help!" Sheba said, going over.

"Well, he's not!" Garet replied to her. Everyone had started arguing now, instead of Isaac and Mia.

"BE QUIET!"

Everyone turned and looked at Isaac. He walked over to a window and stared out of it. "There's nothing we can do. We shouldn't have ever let them go..."

Mia walked over to Isaac and slipped an arm around him. "It was the right thing to do, Isaac. The world would have been destroyed if they hadn't."

"What if it's still destroyed? Then they would have just thrown their lives away. I know If Alex wins, he'll kill all of them. And he'll take the Mars star from them, too."

Jenna choked on her spit. "You gave them the Mars star?"

"To keep them safer," Mia told her. "But don't worry, Alex doesn't know they have it. They don't even know, because it looks like an ordinary red ring."

"What if Alex finds out?" Garet said.

"He won't" Mia assured them all. "All we have to do is pray that they win..."

There was a knock on the door. Mia opened it since she was the calmest one in the room at the moment. "Oh, hello, Ms. Schwartz. How are you?"

The baker smiled at her. "I'm fine. But a while ago, Sasha gave me two rings to bake into some cupcakes. Here they are." She handed Mia a yellow cupcake and Isaac blue.

"Thank you," Mia said. Ms. Schwartz smiled and left.

Isaac and Mia opened the cupcakes in half and two wedding rings fell out.

"Our rings!" Isaac and Mia exclaimed.

Alex looked ahead of him and saw Sasha and the others. He smiled arrogantly.

"We meet again Sasha," he said loud enough for them to hear him.

Rae Rae- Is he gonna kill them?

Yes.

Rae Rae- What!

Sike! Just kidding, I don't know.

Rae Rae- Yes you do! Tell me!

Ah, I cannot reveal the future until the time has come, my friend. Now I have an important message for the readers:

I may not update for a while, because I'm trying to squeeze something into this story where Saha and everyone else know every single psynergy. So far, I have every psynergy for everyone, except Alanna and Roscoe, since in Mars and Mercury, the guys know different psynergies that the gals. So... I dunno... I'll update as soon as I can.

Please review!
