Chaotic Dual Duel AU

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)
"Ow my aching head. Anyone get the scan of the battle gear that hit me?" Tom asked two days later as he came back around and rubbed his head, which was throbbing. There were a few amused snorts and only one chuckle at his question.
"Sorry Tom but it moved too fast for me to scan it." A familiar girls voice said chuckling, well okay giggling, at the question.
"That's okay Krystella but man it must have some wicked power behind it. It feels like my head's splitting in two." Tom said cracking a grin at the girl as he opened his eyes, relieved to see that she was alright.
"Your head nearly did get split in two Cub. One of the rocks that hit you left a nice sized crack in your skull." Intress said from Toms other side, causing him to look over and grin at her.
"No wonder it feels like I got whacked with a bat." Tom said causing Krystella to snort, she could imagine that it hurt pretty bad.
"Luckily we got you out of there before your life was in any danger, you've been unconscious for two full days after sis cast a Song of Resurgence on you." Nivenna said from her spot beside Takinom leaning against the walls of the red painted room Tom was in.
"Thanks. I'm sure it'd be worse without the mugic healing me up some." Tom said grinning over at Aivenna who smiled back at him.
"I'm sure it would little brother." Aivenna said causing Takinom to snicker at the pout on Tom's face at being called little.
"We were getting worried about you squirt. We got most of the details about what happened from your friends who came and got us and your friend right there so no need to explain it to us." Takinom said cutting Tom off when he began to open his mouth to tell them what had happened.
"Sorry about worrying you all." Tom said grinning apologetically at them as he scratched the back of his neck while sitting up, causing Krystella to blush brightly while Aivenna and Nivenna broke out snickering.
"Trying to give your friend a free show little bro?" Nivenna asked snickering and causing Tom to look at her confused only to look down when Intress motioned him too…Tom was almost completely naked with only some bandages wrapped around his chest and the blankets on the bed covering everything below his waist. Like a light bulb Tom lit up a brilliant shade of red and hastily laid back down and covered back up with the blanket to keep from flashing anyone.
"What the hell happened to my cloths?!" Tom asked/demanded while Intress was giggling slightly and Takinom was snickering at his reaction.
"They were torn and blood stained from the rocks Cub. We had to remove them to get to your reopened wounds anyways and there wasn't much we could do to save them so we trashed them." Intress said giggling at her son's reaction while Krystella tried to calm down her cherry red blush. Who knew Tom has such well-defined muscles? She sure didn't.
"Can I please have something to wear then?" Tom asked trying to calm down his own blush as he steadfastly looked away from everyone, especially Krystella.
"Sure little brother. I'll grab you one of your outfits from the closet." Nivenna said causing Aivenna to snicker slightly.
"Going into the closet sis? When are you going to come out?" Aivenna asked causing Nivenna to blush brightly while Tom and Takinom busted out laughing. It was well known to most UnderWorlders that Nivenna preferred girls to boys but only Intress, Aivenna, Takinom, and Tom could tease her about it without being beaten to death in retaliation.
"Shut up Aivenna." Nivenna said shoving her sister slightly as she went to the green door across the room.
"It's a legit question sis!" Aivenna called after her sister while Intress and Takinom exchanged amused looks.
"Stop teasing your sister Aivenna." Intress said causing Takinom and Tom both to crack up snickering and Aivenna to stare at Intress in disbelief. Krystella quickly began giggling when she realized what had caused Tom and Takinom to snicker. It was kinda amusing.
"What's so funn…Oh grow up!" Intress said confused at first before blushing and scowling when she realized why the others had reacted to her words that way.
"From all the times you talked grandpa Najarin into turning me into a toddler I didn't think you wanted me to grow up Ma." Tom said causing Takinom to snicker harder while Aivenna and Nivenna snickered, remembering some of the times when Intress managed to talk Najarin into turning Tom into a toddler or baby for one reason or another.
"Shut up Cub." Intress finally said causing Takinom to snort slightly.
"Real good comeback big sis." Takinom said causing Intress to shot her a playful glare.
"So what happened to the others in the Mugic Mines?" Tom asked after a seconds pause and causing everyone to blink at him dumbly for a second.
"Peyton had gotten Klay, Sarah, Kazz and H'earring away before they could get hurt. Klay and your friends ported back to Chaotic while H'earring apparently ran to get Takinom and the rest of your family." Krystella finally answered causing Tom to sigh in relief.
"Good. Glad to hear no one got injured." Tom said causing Krystella to snort slightly.
"You did." She pointed out causing Tom to shrug.
"Eh it was for a good reason and I knew I could survive but I wasn't sure if you or the others could. I'd do it again in a heartbeat." Tom said causing Krystella to blush and shyly look down, she wasn't usually like this…but how did one act around a boy that saved their life at the risk of his own and claim he would do it again in a heartbeat.
"Aww does Tom-Tom have his first crush and girlfriend?" Nivenna asked teasingly as she came back from the closet with a muscle shirt and a pair of cargo pants in her arms. Tom and Krystella both turned a brilliant shade of red and began trying to splutter something out but were unable to.
"Aww look how red they both turned!" Aivenna teased joining in with her twin as they watched their 'little brother' turn even redder as he glanced at Krystella, who also turned redder when she glanced at him at the exact same second.
"Aww looks like I might get a daughter-in-law sooner than I expected." Intress said joining the twins in on the teasing while Tom and Krystella both resembled tomatoes now. Takinom snorted in amusement as she joined in, her comment causing the two teens to nearly pass out from embarrassment while Nivenna and Aivenna nearly died laughing.
"You might get grandcubs sooner than you expected too sis. You remember how teenagers are when their hormones start acting up."
