They Meet Again
Sasha and the others stopped and looked behind them.
"Who's he?" Roscoe asked.
"Alex!" Sasha glared at him. "And he has Candace and Aiden!"
Jed got in front of all them. "Let those children go. Alex," he said, adding his name.
Alex tilted his head. "Is this any way to greet an old friend, Sasha?" Sasha had came up to the front, sword out. "Where have you been?"
"Nowhere special..." He said calmly. "Just doing stuff. But you might not wanna go to the other side of Weyward right now. It is utter chaos over there right now. Kibimbo... Shaman Village..." He looked over at Taryn. "Contigo..."
"What have you been doing in Contigo?" Taryn demanded. "If you hurt my auntie, I swear, I'll-" Alex smiled a him.
"Don't worry, Taryn. I didn't harm Hama. At least, not badly, anyway." Taryn made a lunge at him, but was held back bye Roscoe and Sasha. Alanna cut her eyes at him.
"You arrogant pig! You're trying to make us mad! You know that we could hurt Aiden and Candace, and-"
"-And I don't have to lift a finger to down you instantly."
"What? I wasn't about to say that!"
"I really don't care what you have to say, Alanna." Alex dropped Candace and Aiden off of his shoulders. Jed gasped and stepped up, but Sasha put her hand in the way.
"Don't underestimate him. He's very powerful, I can sense it." Jed looked down at her.
"Have you all met before?"
"Yeah," said Kevin. "Alanna and Taryn went to get help, but Sasha and I saw him fully."
"This is the man you are looking for?" Jade asked. Sasha nodded.
Alex looked at Sasha. "Why are we just standing around? I'll permit you all to strike the first move."
It went fast. Sasha cast glacier. Alex was temporarily frozen, then Alanna held her hand up and cast cycle beam at him. He was blasted out of the ice with a red hot beam. Taryn raised his meditation rod and cast shine plasma at him, Jade did another arrow ray, Roscoe did diamond berg, Kevin cast mother gaia, and Jed cast spark plasma. When the smoke cleared, Alex stood there, as if he'd never been in a fight.
"That's impossible!" Kevin exclaimed.
"There's not a stratch on him..." Sasha looked wide eyed.
"How'd he do that?" Alanna and Taryn fumed. Roscoe looked at him.
"Alex! You are cheating!"
"What?" Alex feigned surprise. "How am I cheating? I am merely using my power."
"You're using alchemy!" Roscoe retorted.
"You are just like Hama... She figured it out, too."
"Hama!" Taryn held his rod out at him. "What did you do to her?"
"I didn't kill her... But she is barely hanging bye a thread."
Taryn looked like he wanted to kill Alex. But he seemed to think better of it. Without thinking, he pulled out the teleport lapis and teleported away.
"Taryn!" Alanna gasped. "He has to help us! Where'd he go?"
"He went to Contigo..." Jade said, still looking at Alex. Alex took in a breath.
"Now I think it's my turn, isn't it?" He glowed a goldish looking color. Sasha heard everything go silent. Then, all of a sudden, the air around her slipped away. Everthing went pitch black. Her chest became tight. She couldn't breath! Or see! And it was getting colder... She fell as she felt her strength being drained. Then, she screamed as she felt a peircing feeling, as though she was being cut all over. Her screams echoed inside her head...
Sasha opened her eyes and took in a deep breath. She turned her head to the right and saw her friends and Jades dad all scattered out like she was. Bleeding!
"Guys..." She held up an arm and saw that she too was bleeding. There were bad, deep cuts all over her. Sasha tried to cast ply and wish, but couldn't. She struggled to get up and walked over to Kevin, wincing as she went. "Kevin. Can you hear me?"
Kevin opened his eyes. "Sasha! It hurts. I can't cast cure... Where is Alex?"
"I am up here." Sasha and Kevin looked up and saw him, floating there in the air. Jade and her dad sat up. Alex descended back to the ground, shaking his head condescendingly.
"I expected the one that was supposed to destroy me to be stronger than this." Then he laughed. "Your little gang is getting smaller, Sasha."
Sasha looked. He was right. Roscoe and Alanna were downed. Candace and Aiden were knocked out. Taryn was gone. The only ones left were Kevin, Jade, Jed, and herself.
"And you all look in no condition to fight."he smirked. Sasha got up, still holding Kevin.
"You leave them out of this, Alex! Fight me!" Kevin shook his head.
"Sasha, you can't beat him alone. I'll help you..."
Sasha looked like she wanted to object, but knew he was right. Jade and Jed stepped up, and they all got their weapons.
Taryn appeared in Contigo and gasped. The town was in shambles! There were spots of blood in some places. Some of the buildings were halfway torn down, and the best building there so far, was the sanctum, wich only had the roof gone and all the windows broken. Bunches of people were lined up outside it, some laying out on the ground in pain. Taryn ran over. "What happened?"
"Taryn..." said a scarred woman, holding a hurt child. "Hama... She's in bad condition."
"Is she in the sanctum?" The woman nodded. Taryn pushed his way through the crowd of people the best way he could without hurting anyone and entered the sanctum.
Hama was lying in a bed. She looked horrible. Her hair was flying everywhere, there were bruises and blood all over her... The healer looked up. "Taryn!"
"How is she?" Taryn went up to the bed where the healer was, putting on more bandages.
"At this point... I don't think she'll survive."
Taryn blinked back some tears. "No! That can't happen! Hama... She can't die." he got on his knees and hugged her. "There has to be something more you can do..."
"I have done all I could..." the healer replied, looking sorrowful. The villagers favored Hama since she had arrived there years ago. To see her go would tear everyone apart.
"Is this why everyone's crowded outside the sanctum? Is it because of Hama?" The healer nodded. Taryn fished around in his pack for a water of life. He cursed when he didn't find one, ignoring the healer's surprised gasp. Taryn layed his head in her bosom, and started crying.
"Auntie Hama... Please don't die..." Taryn didn't hear the healer gasp again. Taryn was unaware of it, but he had started to glow a purplish goldish color, and soon, Hama glowed the same.
"Wake up, Hama... Don't die on me!" Taryn sobbed.
"How are things going?" Isaac asked Sheba and Ivan. He knew things weren't good when they hesitated.
"Er..." said Ivan.
"...Not good." Sheba replied. "I only sense the presence of three people. Taryn... Please be okay..."
"Taryn's in Contigo!" Ivan gasped.
"What?" Garet exclaimed. "He left?"
"Wait, I see him..." Sheba said. "Contigo looks horrible! And... so does Hama... I can barely feel her life force."
"No! Hama!" Ivan gasped. Everyone else looked worried as well. Sheba continued.
"And in Endira, only Sasha, a girl, and a man are fighting Alex!"
"Kevin!" Mia gasped.
"Alanna!" Jenna exclaimed.
"Candace..." Felix and Picard said in unison.
Kevin was thrown back. "Kevin!" Sasha, Jade, and Jed exclaimed.
"...I can't move..." Kevin fainted.
"He can't fight anymore..." Sasha said. She looked at Alex and glared. "No one can wield alchemy's full power. No one, Alex! Not even my father can, and his heart is way more pure than yours!"
"I will prove that theory wrong," Alex replied. "I will obtain the full power of alchemy, and the world will bow beneath my feet! And you all, along with your naive parents will be gone!"
